Empress Yu Concubine Lie Wins Everyday

Not long after Yonghu's full moon, Wu Zhaku resumed his daily greetings and came to Shu Jin every day to learn about palace affairs.

It's just that the weather is getting colder and colder, so it's not convenient to bring Yong Hu here often.

"By the way, the construction of Savatthi City has just been completed, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is starting to decorate the melons and fruit scented candles. You can go and inspect it while the weather is still good, so as not to let them fail to do their best." Shu Jin said slowly.

"Yes." Mrs. Wu Zaku nodded seriously, "The emperor believes in Buddhism. I am afraid that he will often go to Savatthi City to burn incense and worship Buddha in the future. I must arrange it carefully."

Savatthi City is a Buddhist city built in the Old Summer Palace. Yongzheng believed in Buddhism and built this small city after the ancient Indian city of the capital of the Saro Kingdom.It enshrines the Third Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, and collects a large number of golden Buddha statues, precious instruments, and scriptures that were paid tribute from Tibet, Mongolia, and foreign vassals during the Qing Dynasty. There are tens of thousands of Buddhist incense alone.

Thinking of this, Shu Jin secretly sighed, fearing that these things would be looted in the future.

But then I thought about it, history has changed, but Hongzhou is better than that prodigal Hongli, right?

Of course, the feudal dynasty was bound to fall, and Shu Jin had neither the interest nor the ability to save it.

That being the case, he simply didn't think too much about it and instead smiled and said: "The emperor liked to worship Buddha when he was staying in his residence. After he ascended the throne, he doted on Taoist priests and loved alchemy..."

This belief is also complex enough.Shu Jin complained silently.

Mrs. Wu Zaku didn't dare to answer the question, so she just laughed with him.The Holy Emperor is taking more and more elixirs, and many people feel it is inappropriate, but they dare not say anything.

Shu Jin waved his hand, "That's all, let's not mention this anymore."

She looked at the clear blue sky outside the window and said, "The Old Summer Palace is getting bigger and bigger, but we have to pay more attention to it." - After Yongzheng ascended the throne, the expansion project of the Old Summer Palace has not stopped in these years, and there are Penglai Island, Also from Savatthi City, no less than one hundred thousand civilians are requisitioned every year, and the money is spent like water.

Mrs. Wu Zaku hurriedly responded: "My son, I will be more attentive."

After sending Wu Zaku to the study to check the account books, Shu Jin asked Aunt Lan Ruo: "Does the Emperor have a ministerial office this month?"

Lan Ruo whispered: "Liu promised to be summoned to Concubine Xi's palace three days ago."

This Liu promised to be promoted by an official woman when the fourth concubine was re-established. Now she is not favored.However, the emperor is now looking for less and less, and being able to sleep with Liu Xiong almost every month is already considered one of the best.

Shu Jin initially suspected that this Liu family was a Qian concubine in history, so he slipped her into Concubine Xi's Yinghui Palace.Although the Dog Emperor is getting older, there are still many young and beautiful girls in these years. There are several official ladies living in the back room of Qingyan Palace in Jiuzhou.Mrs. Liu was lucky enough to catch up with the Great Feng that year, and only then did she get a seventh-grade consent.

Then he asked Lan Ruo: "Are there any other concubines named Liu or... um, official women in the palace?"

Lan Ruo shook her head: "Only this one."

Oh, that didn't run away.

As long as Liu Promise is taken care of and an old man is taken care of for Yongzheng, Concubine Xi can be considered a credit.It's just that Shu Jin has always had doubts about this - after all, the emperor has not had any children for so many years, and Mrs. Liu doesn't know if it's just bad luck or some other reason.

So Shu Jin would rather take advantage of Concubine Xi than let his own people take risks.

Aunt Lan Ruo was a little confused: "The empress seems to be paying special attention to Liu Yaosheng, but is there anything wrong with her?"

Of course, Shu Jin couldn't say that this little girl would be able to give birth to a son for the bad old man in the future, so he just smiled and said, "There are not many concubines who are favored by concubines nowadays. Liu Yaosheng can be considered a rising star."

Aunt Lan Ruo laughed and said, "Compared to Concubine Dunsu and Concubine Ning in the early years, it's really nothing."

But they will be blessed later!Shu Jin said silently.

Aunt Lan Ruo whispered: "Several young masters in Concubine Mao's Palace have not favored her for a long time. Apart from Mrs. Liu, only Gao Yingxing and a few other court ladies from the imperial court are still sleeping with her."

Shu Jin secretly thought: Damn old man, this is no longer possible...

Lan Ruo sighed and said: "The two Chang Zai who were born in the draft are becoming more and more unpopular, but the two who were born as palace maids were overpowered by the promise. They really don't live up to expectations!"

Shu Jin smiled: "Everyone has his own ambitions."

Most of these people are not willing to serve the bad old man!Under Shu Jin's rule, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not allowed to deduct the salary of the concubines. If there was any surplus, the lower-level concubines would be rewarded with charcoal in winter and ice in summer. Tributes from various places were also indispensable for these nobles who were always present and promised. share.

Therefore, even if he is not favored, his life is still relatively prosperous.

If this happens, won't there be no motivation to compete for favor?

Lan Ruo stomped her feet: "Aren't they afraid of growing old and being lonely and helpless without a child?!"

Shu Jin smiled secretly and whispered: "Is it possible that if they compete for favor, they can have children?"

Damn old man, he’s old!No more!

Lan Ruo quickly covered her mother-in-law's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Shu Jin cursed: I am telling the truth!

The concubines in the harem have not had any luck for many years, and now the three older princes are the main force in giving birth!Hai Changzai and Na Changzai are also sensible people. They know that the emperor is not easy to serve, and even if they try their best to please the emperor, the emperor is still powerless!Even if she is "strong" several times, it is still difficult to get pregnant.

In this case, it is better to lie down.

Shu Jin smiled and said: "Now the harem is harmonious and the concubines are in harmony. This is a good thing." - Thinking about the years when Xiao Nian Gao and the Wu family were fighting, she had to be the women's director and mediate conflicts every now and then. It was really It's so tiring.

The afternoon was sunny and sunny. Uzhakushi went to Savatthi City to inspect. Shujin finished stamping the seal and went out to walk the dog.

Yunzi is already an old dog, and his coat is not very shiny and smooth. Even when he goes out for a walk, he doesn't like to move much. Not long after he left, he sat down under the crabapple tree and let the Shih Tzu "Yi Guang" sneeze at him. Jumping around in front of him, he didn't move at all.

Seeing that Yunzi ignored him, Xiao Yiguang seemed quite depressed, so he ran into the begonia forest to have fun.Now is the season, the crabapple tree is full of fruits, and the branches are full of red, which is quite eye-catching.

At this time, laughter came from not far away: "Hey, three sisters, look at what a cute puppy!"

Immediately, someone responded meekly: "That's a Shih Tzu, right? It even has pigtails!"

Shu Jin raised his eyes and saw a few familiar faces, Wang Changzai, Ji Changzai, Yun Changzai and the young and pretty Liu Yaosheng.Needless to say, they are all out of position in Concubine Xi's palace.

In fact, the three Wangs are not old, and can even be said to be in their prime, but after all, they are not as delicate as Liu Yingxing's little face.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine!" The four people saw the imperial concubine's appearance and came up to salute one after another.

The little Shih Tzu dog also ran back at this time and rubbed at Shu Jin's feet, almost making him cute.

Wang Changzai, the eldest among the four, smiled and said, "The imperial concubine's pet dog is really well-behaved."

The youngest Liu promised to look directly at Shu Jin's pet dog and couldn't help but asked cautiously: "I wonder if this Shih Tzu has a name?"

Shu Jin said: "My name is Yi Guang."

Liu promised to be stunned for a moment, "Xi Shi?!"

Shu Jin nodded, yes, Xi Shi's surname was Shi and her given name was Yi Guang.She was lazy and gave the Shih Tzu this name.

Wang Changzai had doubts on his Wentun face: "It... seems to be a male, right?"

Shu Jin: Yeah... indeed.

The autumn wind rustled, and everyone was silent.

Liu promised to put on a sweet smile: "I really want to raise a puppy." As he said that, he looked at Shu Jin pitifully.

Shu Jin:? ? ?Aren't you quite pampered? Go and act coquettishly with the bad old man!
