Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 91

Shu Ning is full of disdain for the behavior of these concubines fighting for the prince and princess, even if she is angry, she can't take it out on the child!Besides, they are just one of the emperor's many concubines, while the prince and princess are the biological children of the emperor's blood. Is there any need to compare which is more important?It is only natural for the emperor to love his children. Why are these people still jealous of the prince and princess, and even secretly trying to kill them?This is no different from a crazy woman who bites everyone she sees.

Shu Ning felt that she was not on the same side as these people. She could be cruel to everyone, but she would never do anything to children, even if the other party's parents had enmity with herself.This is not hypocrisy, nor is it letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but a bottom line and a principle.

It is believed that the emperor and the others have seen this clearly about Concubine Jia, so they are extra tolerant towards her.

Relying on Mei Dong's ingenious hands to rejuvenate, finally healed her feet before June [-]th, this time Shu Ning didn't dare to run anymore, but walked slowly to her grandmother and mother to help them up.

After June, the emperor took the empress dowager, empress, concubines and a group of ministers of civil and military affairs to escape the summer heat in the palace a hundred miles away from the capital.In previous years, July and August were the hottest time, and then we would come back in the golden autumn of September.

As soon as she heard that she was going to leave the palace, Shuning burst into joy.Going around in the hall, giving blind instructions, making Nanny Bai and the others into a mess. In the end, Nanny Liu stepped out and dragged their master directly to the tree to enjoy the shade, obediently drink jujube tea, and don't cause trouble for everyone.

Disliked, Shu Ning sat under the tree depressedly, and rewarded the little maid beside her without drinking tea.

The little maid was also honest, Shu Ning drank as long as she was offered, until she couldn't drink any more.

"Your Majesty, this servant can't drink anymore."

There was a trace of panic in the voice.

"Oh, you silly girl, why don't you say you can't drink?"

As soon as Shu Ning patted her forehead, she had never seen such an honest girl.This court lady looks several years younger than her!She entered the palace from a young age, and after a series of training, she was sent to various guests as rough envoys, such as cleaning or carrying water.

"Slave, slave girl~ Madam, please forgive me, slave girl didn't do it on purpose."

The little maid had just been assigned to Changning Palace not long ago, and she didn't know about Concubine Jia's temperament. When she heard Shuning asking her at this moment, she was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"I didn't treat you either. What does it look like kneeling on the ground? Get up quickly." Shuning frowned. This little maid was too timid. When did he say that he would punish her?

"My concubine, what are you doing?" The emperor walked in and saw a little court lady kneeling in front of Concubine Jia, and Concubine Jia looked a little helpless, even at a loss, so he asked.

"See Your Majesty."

Shu Ning walked over, and pulled him up before she finished worshiping the emperor.

"Exemption."

The emperor sat where Shuning had just sat, and picked up a cup of tea that Shuning had just brewed. The cup was made of white jade, and the light yellow tea was very charming.

"Aifei's tea is well brewed."

The emperor tasted it and praised it.

"It's not the tea made by my concubine, it's true that the tea is good."

Shu Ning sat next to the emperor, and bubbled up again.It's just that this time he soaked more carefully, and the emperor couldn't help but nodded.

"What happened just now?"

The emperor glanced at the little maid who was still kneeling on the ground, and based on his intuition, told that there was something tricky about this matter.If other people see this scene, they will definitely think that Concubine Jia is bullying the little maid, but the emperor knows that Concubine Jia is a human being, and she will not bully others at all. The court, let Ye Ting send people over again, or don't want them at all, anyway, there are enough people in her palace to serve.

Ye Ting is a special training place for court ladies and eunuchs. Every year, eunuchs and court ladies are sent to each palace.Shu Ning didn't want to think about the consequences of being sent back to the court ladies or eunuchs, since they were willing to die, why should she think about these people!

"My concubine is also wondering!" Shu Ning said what happened just now, with a puzzled expression on her face, she didn't say anything, she just asked the other party why he didn't tell him earlier since he couldn't drink anymore?How did he make it look like he was going to abuse her.

Concubine Jia didn't understand, but the emperor did.This is no fear at all, it's simply setting up a trap for Concubine Jia!If the person who happened to come was the emperor, and he had enough trust in Concubine Jia, another person would definitely have misunderstood Concubine Jia's character, and then rumors would have spread in the palace that Concubine Jia was violent and liked to abuse court ladies.

"Since it's unruly, why keep it? Su Maocai."

"The servant is here."

Eunuch Su popped up and bowed in response.

"It's dealt with."

The emperor has always done things directly, especially for the women in the harem. He doesn't favor those who are not pleasing to the eye. The court ladies and eunuchs deal with them directly or send them away if they don't behave according to the rules. Anyway, they can't get in the way in front of his old man.His time is precious, and he has to save it to deal with state affairs, so how can he be tripped up by such trivial matters in the harem.

"Yes."

Eunuch Su waved his hand, and immediately two eunuchs came out, before the little palace maid could make a sound, they covered their mouths and dragged them out.

A look of unbearableness flashed in Shuning's eyes, but she did not intercede after all.

"Why don't you beg for mercy?"

The emperor asked curiously, the embarrassment in Concubine Jia's eyes was too obvious, she could see through at a glance that she knew the fate of the little maid, and she refused to plead with him.

"Repay grievances with honesty, repay virtue with kindness. Although my concubine is not a gentleman, since she came to the concubine's palace, everyone saw that she took care of her when she was young. I bought her 100 taels and took them back to see a doctor for her sick parents, and taught her younger brother to read and write. In the end, she repaid my concubine in this way, and my concubine felt very sad."

Shu Ning smiled wryly. She thought that a ten-year-old girl would not be someone else's spy. Who would have thought that she would plot against herself? Shu Ning didn't know who she could trust in this palace, who should she trust?
"My concubine! You have to grow up. This is not the first time, and it will definitely not be the last time. You have to get used to it."

When the emperor comforted Shu Ning and said this, his eyes looked up at the sky, with a slight sense of loneliness on his face, maybe the emperor used to comfort himself like this before others knew it.

"The emperor kindly knows this, but how can I get used to such things? If I get used to it, is the concubine still a concubine?"

Shu Ning looked at the emperor with reddish eyes, did everyone in the palace have to get used to these things, and Mo Shi lost her short life as a ten-year-old child?Or, this is already the norm in the palace, so people don't care anymore.

"I said you are, you are, who dares to say no?"
