Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

A sense of crisis?
nonexistent.

The queen thought to herself, how can this palace have any sense of crisis? Ever since the emperor brought her into the harem of Chen State, she has been eating and drinking all day long. She can go to three doors and watch five plays in a free day. How can she have any sense of crisis? ?

"Sister, aren't you afraid that others will steal the limelight?"

"No, no." The queen calmly adjusted her chrysanthemums, moved a pot of pink and purple chrysanthemums in front of her and admired them carefully: "This year's chrysanthemum party is organized by this palace. I have never heard of other palaces. How could a concubine be robbed of the limelight by doing this?"

Wei Zhaoning hesitated.

Strangely, the emperor didn't like his sister, and her ideas were a little weird.

Wei Zhaoning said with dismay: "Du Jianyan's visit to bed this time has been known to all the six palaces in the East and West. The Emperor really loves her."

"Zhaoning, do you want to take the Fengluan Chunen Car?" The queen seemed to be fascinated.

"I don't want to."

"It's okay. It's not a valuable thing. If you want to ride on it, I'll lend you the Feng Luan Chun En carriage another day and let you ride on it for two days."

Wei Zhaoning closed his eyes, forget it, let's play the piano.

Yongfu Hall.

The nuns had already come out to greet him and knelt down respectfully.

The nuns headed by Aunt Zhao are all old people in the palace, and the rules are not bad. When they saw Du Jiyan coming back, they all said: "Little Master Du, thank you for your holy grace. My slaves congratulate Little Master Du."

Du Jiyan bowed his waist and gave him a blessing in return. He was haggard, weak, weak, and his eyes were blue, as if he had been punched twice.

It was fine when I went there.

Did the emperor throw those two punches?

Everyone was very surprised, but they didn't dare to ask what happened. After all, the little emperor's temperament was like the weather in July and August, which could change at any time.

Shi Jing had diarrhea all night and took medicine from the imperial doctor before she could hold on. When she heard that Du Jiyan was back, she leaned on the pillow and looked out.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sun was shining on my face.

The golden light illuminated the entire Yongfu Hall. Such sunshine was rare in autumn.

Du Jiyan's bun was loose and her body was crooked, holding on to the door weakly. The bruises under her eyes looked like two earthworms. Even though the rich sunlight enveloped her, her complexion was not good.

Others sent him back with great splendor. Not to mention that his status would be improved, there were several boxes of the things the emperor had given him.

Did your sister come back naked?

Look at this miserable color, how much I have been wronged that night.

Drinking ice for ten years can hardly cool your hot blood, let alone your good sister being ruined.

The story of Liangshan One Hundred and Eight Heroes that he had seen before came to mind. Shi Jing hugged the pillow and gritted his teeth: "Du Jiyan, has he sucked your yang energy?"

Du Jiyan steeled himself and shook his head.

Although the emperor was unreasonable, Shi Jing's statement was quite scary.

Shi Jing didn't believe Du Jiyan's words: "He didn't absorb your yang energy, so you were taken away?"

Take home?

Xiao Dian was still afraid that Du Jiyan wouldn't understand: "Host, seizing the body is a theory of borrowing other people's bodies to restore Yang. In cultivation novels, it means seizing other people's bodies for one's own use, which means borrowing corpses to bring back souls."

"What happened last night? How did you become like this?" Shi Jing was heartbroken.

"Last night. It's a long story."

"It's okay. I have plenty of time. Tell me, what happened last night?" Shi Jing said in a gullible manner: "I heard that the Queen Mother sent someone to eavesdrop outside the door last night?"

"It's not eavesdropping, it's just recording it openly."

"That's why the emperor resorted to perverted methods, right? I knew that this emperor was not normal. When he called me to sleep with him, he insisted on playing chess with me all night and refused to go to bed. When it was your turn to sleep with him, look at how tortured you were. Did he whip you with a whip, or make you kneel and deprive you of sleep? Or did he drip wax oil on you?"

Shi Jing, you know a lot, and you have a lot of fun.

After Shi Jing said this, Du Jiyan's drowsiness disappeared.

God knows which sect you, Shi Jing, who is a serious Imperial Master, acquired all your heretical knowledge from.

Shi Jing's knowledge reserves are sometimes very sparse, and sometimes very solid and elusive.

The nuns of Yongfu Hall would easily be dissatisfied, but now they can't help but discuss it in private.

"Young Master Du is such an obedient person. What happened last night? In all these years of service, I have never seen the emperor deal with anyone so cruelly."

"I can't explain what happened. I heard that the emperor was also seriously injured. He didn't even go to court in the morning. He didn't even bother to greet the queen mother. He said he couldn't walk."

"Fighting each other? No way, right?"

"Tsk, tsk, young man."

Although I have been waiting in the Palace of Supreme Harmony all night, it is absolutely necessary to greet the queen, otherwise I will not understand the rules.

The fragrance of chrysanthemums floats in Jingren Palace.

The queen specially asked someone to make chrysanthemum tea, saying that it would improve eyesight and reduce internal heat, which would be of great benefit to the body.In addition, the embroiderer was asked to make chrysanthemum sachets from dried yellow chrysanthemums, and every concubine had a share.

Usually, greetings are sparse.

Come to say hello today, everyone is very neat.

Du Jiyan knelt down to greet the queen in a polite manner. The queen sat upright and received the gift, and also gave her a plate of almond cake: "Now that you are favored, you must serve the emperor carefully and strive to provide the emperor with heirs as soon as possible."

Meng Yuzhu saw the dark blue under Du Jiyan's eyes that could not be covered by makeup, and knew in her heart that she had not slept all night. Her little hooves were so crazy, and the things about sleeping with her were written all over her face: "Du Jiyan Yan, the emperor is only seventeen, how can you not care about the emperor's body at all and torment the emperor all night? If the dragon's body is damaged, can you bear it? The queen should also be in control. How can everyone torment the emperor like this? How can the emperor's body endure this?"

Shi Jing curled his lips and said, "Did the imperial concubine eavesdrop in the Taihe Palace last night? Do you know so clearly?"

"Why don't you have diarrhea in Yongfu Hall and come here to act like a good boy?"

"The imperial concubine is jealous that she cannot trouble the emperor."

"Shi Jing, you are only fifteen and you are so sharp-tongued and so obedient. Do you want to trouble the emperor?"

"Is it possible that the emperor can only live at the age of 20?"

Meng Yuzhu was born in Nanfu and was exactly 20 years old.

Shi Jing was almost named Meng Yuzhu.

Meng Yuzhu was older than the emperor, and the queen mother always thought she had too much work. She said she was afraid that she would drain the emperor's body, so she reminded her several times.

Even if the Queen Mother was insinuating, Shi Jing of Yongfu Palace dared to point fingers.

Meng Yuzhu's face turned pale: "Shi Jing, how can you be so presumptuous here?"

"I can't be arrogant and I have been arrogant too many times. Please punish me." Shi Jing's knees softened and he knelt in front of Meng Yuzhu with his head tilted.

Meng Yuzhu couldn't bear this arrogant look.Shi Jing violated the palace rules and committed the following offense. It was the time for the queen to establish her power. Meng Yuzhu thought to herself that it would be better for the queen to raise her hand and give Shi Jing a big showdown.

The queen was happily sipping tea with everyone. The chrysanthemum sachet was so fragrant. She was making arrangements to distribute benefits to everyone, when Shi Jing and Meng Yuzhu started to quarrel.

The harmony of the harem is the queen's responsibility.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the queen, waiting for her decisive and fierce killing methods.

The queen yawned: "It's been too tiring to raise chrysanthemums lately, I'm sleepy."

The Queen always misses the point.

Everyone hurriedly said: "The chrysanthemums raised by the queen are really good. The white variety looks like snow dumplings. I love them very much."

"When you return to the palace later, you take two basins with you."

"I didn't expect that the queen has the skill of raising chrysanthemums. I am shallow, but I only found out now."

The queen was secretly proud of herself. In this palace, apart from raising the emperor, she could not support anything else.

Just like these chrysanthemums, when the gardener sent them, the flowers were only bigger than a fist. Now they are in groups, and some of them are as plump and lovely as the full moon.

Even the people in the flower house were secretly surprised and said that the Queen was very talented in taking care of flowers and plants.

The hero sees the same thing, and the queen herself feels that except for serving the emperor, who has no talent, she can do everything else.

Meng Yuzhu was still waiting for the queen to punish Shi Jing, but the queen had no intention of doing so.

Back at Changle Palace, Meng Yuzhu first threw a teapot and then a teacup.

The maid comforted her, saying that Shi Jing was originally the daughter of the emperor's master, and the emperor respected the emperor's master, so Shi Jing was lawless. Concubine, please be patient. After all, Shi Jing had no status and was just a beautiful girl who couldn't make any waves.

Meng Yuzhu didn't even pay attention to the queen, let alone Shi Jing.

As soon as it got dark, Meng Yuzhu whispered a few words to the maid.

Not long after, the maid left Changle Palace, and after a while, she brought back a man wearing a red cloak.

The man was wearing a red cloak. It was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. The cloak was very big and covered it tightly. Even the man's face was covered by the cloak. His facial features could not be seen. Black and unfathomable.

The man knelt down and saluted Meng Yuzhu. As soon as his red robe was loosened, a red withered flower bloomed on the carpet.

Meng Yuzhu walked down the steps barefoot, put her hand into the man's cloak, pinched her chin and asked, "Have you done what I told you?"

The man knelt down and lowered his body: "It's done. In the past two days, all the beautiful ladies in Yongfu Palace who were slightly embarrassed have had diarrhea. Shi Jing also missed going to bed because of diarrhea."

"Since she has diarrhea, why is Du Jiyan okay? Isn't she sleeping in bed?"

"This"

Meng Yuzhu's nails scratched the man's face. Her nails were as cold as the voice she spoke: "Don't even think about dealing with me."

"The slaves dare not."

"Since you have benefited from me, you have to do things for me. Otherwise, I think you understand what will happen."

"The servant understands."

Meng Yuzhu asked the maid to bring in a box. There was a small red pill in the box. The red pill was made of unknown ingredients and had a strong taste.

"This pill can silently turn other people into crazy people, you know what I mean?"

The man in the cloak nodded, but he didn't dare to take the medicine. It was too risky to give medicine to others in the palace.

Under the leadership of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, the Chen Palace has always been a happy place.

Besides, the empress is kind and virtuous. There are few people in the harem who are jealous of each other, and it is also rare for them to cause harm to the concubines.

Meng Yuzhu smiled contemptuously: "Why, you don't dare to poison me? Since you are soft-hearted, then you are of no use. I will give you this golden pill. Maybe your parents outside the palace don't want to live anymore."

"Slave, let's do it now."

The man in the cloak stood up, put the pills into his sleeves, and cautiously left Changle Palace. He turned east and disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

"My dear, does she really know how to administer medicine?"

"What if she really falls in love? In the harem, you should never underestimate a person's ambition." Meng Yuzhu lay crookedly and closed her eyes thoughtfully.

Yongfu Hall.

For Du Jiyan, this day was a day to honor his ancestors.

Gao Rang came in person to announce the decree.

Because of his meritorious service in sleeping, Du Jiyan gained a good position, and the original show girl became Du Yaoyao.

Although the promised position is at the bottom of the harem, it is already officially established, and you can receive a monthly salary of six taels of silver.These six taels of silver were distributed separately.

In addition to these fixed monthly stipends, those who agree to a position may also be given some jewelry and clothing every month. If they are lucky and favored, they may also be given a palace and a house, and the number of people serving around them will also increase. Adding two eunuchs and two maids, at the same time, the imperial hospital will also keep records. In the past, when Du Jiyan and others were sick, they could only call the imperial doctor temporarily. From now on, the imperial doctor will call him every one or two days. You have to take the initiative to take her pulse.

Moreover, the records of Chen Guo's harem are very detailed. Those who agree to the position can be given a duck, a chicken, and a pound of lean meat every day. During the holidays, the palace will buy a lot of money, and some deer can be given as an extra. Meat, deer meat, hare meat and other game meat, you can also receive two pounds of japonica rice, one pound of brown rice, one pound of millet, seasonal vegetables, leafy vegetables in summer, eggplant, gluten, radish, potatoes and Chinese cabbage in winter. Can divide into a bamboo basket.

There are many others.

For example, if you promise to receive ten pieces of yellow wax, eight pieces of white wax, and twenty pieces of mutton wax every day.

And by the end of the year, you can also get one piece of mink fur, one piece of python satin, two pieces of makeup satin, two pieces of cloud satin, and four pieces of palace silk.

In winter, two baskets of red charcoal and one basket of silver charcoal can be distributed every month.

All in all, as your status increases, your welfare benefits will also increase.

It's easy to be jealous in the harem, and sometimes it's not all about the emperor. After all, not everyone loves men, but who would refuse welfare benefits?
The benefits are better than those of the emperor.

At least the 50 taels of white silver that Gao Rang brought almost blinded Du Jiyan.

Du Jianyan wanted to reward Gao Rang with the silver, but Gao Rang refused: "It was not easy for Du to promise last night. These silvers are all hard-earned, and I can't ask for them."

Gao Rang also brought a piece of gossip, saying that the emperor was thinking of Du Zhiyan's meritorious service and Du Zhong's ability to teach his daughter, so he promoted her father Du Zhong to the rank of fifth-rank supervisory censor, and would stay with the emperor in the future. When Zhezi waits, he doesn't like the emperor, and feels that the emperor has done something out of line, he can still come out and scold him, just like last time.

At the same time, the Queen Mother also commended Du Jiyan. After all, the records of the guest room were kept there. The Queen Mother felt that Du Jiyan was very diligent in attending to the bed, so she specially took out two gold and jade wishful hairpins and put them on them. Aunt Guan sent the good Su embroidery fabrics in person.

Yongfu Hall has not had such glory for a long time.

Aunt Zhao and others were rewarded for their meritorious service, and each received an extra month's salary.

Everyone in Yongfu Hall was beaming with joy, and Shi Jing even held Du Jiyan's arm and told her about her heroic ambitions: "It seems that I will have to work hard in the future."

"Yes, in the harem, work hard and rise in rank."

"I don't want to get promoted."

"Then what do you want to do?"

I get paralyzed as soon as weekends come and I can't get up for at least half the day.
