After Chu Sheng sent Concubine Jade back to Jinfeng Yulu Palace, Concubine Yu was still speaking for her maid, and was very dissatisfied with Concubine De Gui's treatment.
Chu Sheng comforted her and coaxed her very softly.
"Your concubine is not wrong. If you weren't such a naughty slave, how could you have suffered like this? She was almost wronged by me. It's understandable to be angry. Just deal with it."
In the end, Chu Sheng also had a stronger attitude.
Concubine Yu was smart and naturally understood that she shouldn't be too arrogant, so she had no choice but to endure this tone.
But she covered her heart and said helplessly, "I am sick now and cannot serve the emperor."
Chu Sheng smiled when he heard this, "It's okay, you can take a good rest. Maybe I haven't seen Hong'er for a long time."
Shen Yin frowned when he heard the emperor's words. Yes, Concubine De Gui had a son, so the emperor would naturally care about her.
But Shen Yin did not persuade Chu Sheng to stay and had someone send the emperor away.
He didn't even let the emperor deal with Concubine De Gui. It seemed that he overestimated his own importance and underestimated Concubine De Gui's ability.
Before entering the palace, the Gao family also inquired about Jin Xin's origins. She was born from an outside family, was not treated well by the main wife, and entered the palace as a bed-warming maid. They thought she was someone who only knew how to work in bed, but she didn't expect that she had some brains. .
She was too dismissive.
At this time, the palace attendant who was sent out came back. Shen Yin saw the little eunuch coming back alone. Her face suddenly turned cold and she asked, "Where is General Gao? Why doesn't he come?"
"General Gao said that it was inconvenient for him to enter the harem, so he asked the young one to give it to the empress." The young eunuch said respectfully, holding a letter in his hands.
Shen Yin stepped forward to pick it up, opened the letter, and looked at the content. She was disappointed with the short eight words.
[If you look for another opportunity, be extremely careful. 】
He didn't care about her body, but let himself find another opportunity to deal with Concubine De.
Shen Yin looked at the letter and laughed, with a bitter look on her face. She looked at the letter with a self-deprecating look. She walked lazily to the candlestick, picked up the letter and lit it. She watched the letter being burned, and the light of the fire reflected on her tearful face. Above, there is endless sadness in his eyes.
Her responsibility is to support the concubine, let her give birth to a prince, and then find an opportunity to poison Chu Sheng.
But before that, Chu Sheng could not have a son other than that of his concubine.
She loved Gao Mingyao and wanted to be his wife, but Gao Mingyao was too ambitious and wanted to take away the Chu family's empire.
Chu Sheng liked him since he was a boy. When the Shen family was convicted, Chu Sheng tried every means to send him to a nunnery to keep his innocence.
It was precisely because he knew Chu Sheng's feelings for him that Gao Mingyao refused to respond to his feelings, but promised her that as long as he helped him achieve what he wanted, he would marry her.
From the day the Shen family was exiled, she had no chance to make free choices in her life. Her parents died in the place of exile, and her brothers and sisters were demoted to slaves and could no longer be ordinary people. Even if she was pardoned, she would be as good as nothing. A duckweed is destined to drift away. Only by grasping this thought in my heart can I support myself to survive.
He gambled his life and got nothing, and Gao Mingyao didn't give him any comfort. How could he not feel sad.
She was having a heart attack, and he refused to look at her.
However, the newly replaced maid came forward and saluted, "Slave Chunxiu, please see the Jade Concubine."
Shen Yin's eyes turned to Chunxiu who was kneeling without warmth, and he was not in the mood to pay attention. He continued to look at the fire with a depressed mood.
"This is what the general asked the slave to give to the empress." Chunxiu wrapped something in a handkerchief and handed it to him.
When Shen Yin heard that it was given by the general, he immediately picked it up and opened it. When he saw the wooden sculpture of himself, Shen Yin immediately smiled.
This is a pair, a wooden sculpture of two people cuddling together carved by Gao Mingyao himself. Now that they have been taken apart, there is one for each person.
Shen Yin understood that her Ayao was still waiting for her.
After putting away the wooden sculpture, she felt relaxed, hugged the wooden sculpture and went back to bed to lie down and rest.
At this time, Chu Sheng was in Chengen Palace, holding Hong'er and teasing her.
Hong'er loves to laugh very much, his expression is very lively and changeable, and his laughter is like a silver bell. When he smiles, all his worries disappear.
"Hong'er looks good and you raise him well." Chu Sheng said with a smile.
Jin Xin smiled and didn't answer.
Chu Sheng did not notice Jin Xin's indifference and continued, "Please help the queen prepare for the May Day palace banquet. This time, all the officials and family members of the old and new dynasties will come to the palace for the banquet. These things need to be done in detail. It’s absolutely foolproof.”
"I understand, but these matters mainly need to be decided by the Queen. Your Majesty, why don't you go discuss it with the Queen," Jin Xin said warmly.
"Queen... you are probably still young. It's up to you to make the decision. I leave it to you." He paused and said.
The Queen has indeed been a bit bad-tempered recently, targeting Concubine Jade for nothing and no matter what. When greeting her, she even called her names and sarcastically several times.
It was such a coincidence that everything reached the emperor's ears.
"Isn't it nice that the queen has a straightforward temperament?" Jin Xin asked.
When Chu Sheng heard this, he did not deny that she was indeed straightforward and simple, but her temper was unpleasant.
"You don't seem to be very enthusiastic about me lately, but why are you dissatisfied with me?" The queen's character has indeed not changed, and she does find it quite cute, but then he thought of Jin Xin's attitude, as if he didn't do anything. I can feel Jin Xin’s enthusiasm.
Hearing this, Jin Xin raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "There are people in this palace who are rushing to beg the emperor for favors. What I want is the emperor's feelings for me, not favors. Just like what I said at the beginning. , I am contented to be able to accompany the emperor."
These words pleased him again. He laughed, pulled her to sit on his lap, pinched her nose, "You really know how to make me happy."
The hands around her waist tightened. Jin Xin knew what he meant and wanted to find an excuse to push her away, but he suddenly picked her up and walked to the couch.
The people who were waiting on her were very discerning, so they all left. Night had just fallen, and he wanted to see her charm, so he galloped hard and went to Wushan with her.
By the time all this was over, it was already late at night.
Jin Xin looked at the man beside her and frowned, feeling complicated as she watched him sleeping.
I have to say that his kung fu is indeed good, but her love for him only goes so far.
Early in the morning, the servants were waiting for the emperor to dress. Jin Xin was too lazy to look at him and looked at the bed, "You are the only one in the palace who dares to go to court without waiting for me to dress."
"The emperor loves his concubine very much and doesn't let me work hard." She said with a smile.
Chu Sheng smiled when he heard this and felt very comfortable.
As soon as the emperor left, Jin Xin had someone bring him the Buzi soup and drank it all in one gulp.
At noon, Lianrong came to send a message, saying that Commander Gu was here.
Jin Xin hummed and said, "Let him come in."
Gu Zhao had just taken over as the commander of the Inner Palace Forbidden Army. He was called here to give instructions on the security deployment of the Inner Palace during the May Festival.
Jin Xin thought he was a tall, thick, muscular man, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a young man who looked about twenty-five years old.
He is very handsome, with a tough military look, quite masculine.
But... I seem to have seen this face somewhere.
