first class maid

Chapter 17
Shuming Palace has become very lively because of the residence of Concubine Shu who has been favored recently.

After saluting, Zhuang Dianzhi respectfully introduced the sachet to Concubine Shu, who was sitting in the imperial concubine chair and was pregnant for five months, "Because Concubine Shu is about to give birth, so the servants are bold enough to use the incense pouch. The pouch is embroidered with Guanyin for a child, in the hope that the empress will give birth to the prince smoothly." There was an obvious flattery in the tone.

Concubine Shu, who is bright and beautiful, loves to hear this, "I ordered the Shanggong Bureau to rush out a few because I saw that her sachets were exquisitely made and smelled good at the sister of the concubine. Thinking of you is quite thoughtful? Sister Feng, don’t you think so?”

Concubine Feng, the birth mother of the Seventh Prince Yu Wenchun, a weak willow, I feel pity for her. More importantly, she is extremely gentle and kind, and is known in the palace as a first-class good master. Looking at this intentional The flamboyant Concubine Shu, "Who in the palace doesn't expect my sister to give birth to a dragon son, so that I can keep company with my boy who has been invisible all day long."

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and giggled, "Sister is really good at talking, I don't know if my sister's baby is a dragon son or a princess? But the Holy Majesty said that even if a princess is born, he will be happy." So she recruited Xun Zhen Waving, "Bring it up and show it to Ben Gong, is it as good as Zhuang Dianzhi said?"

Concubine Shu glanced at Xun Zhen's respectful posture, and then stretched out her hand to pick up the sachet and looked at it carefully. Avalokitesvara looks majestic, holding a jade bottle in one hand, and holding the child in the other, which seems to be a good omen. She was very thoughtful, what are the women in the palace arguing about?Naturally, it was the deliberate flattery of the Emperor Chong and others, "This embroidery is really good, the stitches are fine and detailed, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort, it deserves a commendation, come, let Zhuang Dianzhi and this female history appreciate it."

"Your Majesty, why is the embroidered Avalokitesvara of Sending a Child a girl?" the maid at the side who was about to respond suddenly asked in surprise.

The voice stunned Zhuang Dianzhi and Xun Zhen who were about to thank them. They thought the sachet was just a small item, so they didn't check it too carefully.

The look of love on Concubine Shu's face suddenly became ferocious, and she lifted up the sachet she was playing with and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed a girl embroidered, "It's unreasonable!" She vigorously put the sachet on the side table The tray was swept to the ground, leaving another sachet to fall to the ground and stained with dust.

Concubine Feng frowned slightly, she put the tea bowl in her hand on the mahogany stalk beside her, got up and took the embroidered sachet from Concubine Shu's hand, the pattern on the sachet was not big, you can't tell it apart unless you look carefully When she came out, she looked carefully and found that it was indeed a girl, "Zhuang Dianzhi, aren't you offending Concubine Shu's younger sister?" The voice was not loud, but it got to the point.

Concubine Shu was very angry, "Say, who did you benefit from? To actually embroider such a picture to this palace, it is really ulterior motives, come here, go and find Xu Shanggong, I want to hear what she has. argument?"

Sweat dripped from Zhuang Dianzhi's forehead, his eyes were fixed on the sachet in Concubine Feng's hand, she was really a girl, and she blamed her for handing over the matter to Lu Rong, knowing that the girl was careless, How could she be so stupid that she didn't check carefully?Quickly knelt down, "Concubine Shu, please calm down, this sachet was embroidered by the female historian below, it is definitely not that the servants want to touch the empress's head?"

"This is the fault of Zhuang Dianzhi. Sister Concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon child, and you actually entrust such a big matter to your subordinates. It can be seen that you don't have Sister Shu in your eyes at all, and you should be punished." Concubine Feng The gentle face was full of unworthy expressions for Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu originally wanted to show off her favor in front of others, but only now did she realize that others treated her so poorly, but her eyes turned to Xun Zhen, pointed at her delicately, and said sharply: "Say, who ordered you Embroidered a sachet like this to curse me?"

Xun Zhen didn't dare to take a breath, so he glanced at Zhuang Dianzhi, only to see that she looked to the side without looking at her at all, as if she had tacitly agreed that this sachet was embroidered by her, and she couldn't help being flustered for a while, so hurry up Kneeling down, "This sachet is not..." No, if Rongrong is confessed, wouldn't it be killing her?She quickly shut up, her eyes fell on a sachet lying on the tray thrown to the ground by Concubine Shu, her mind went blank.

Concubine Shu was panting, and the nurse at the side quickly rubbed her heart, "Sister Feng, I must report this to the emperor, how could they treat me like this?"

Concubine Feng held her hand anxiously, "Sister, what are you doing? Why bother with these villains, it would be bad if you get gas in your fetus? Xu Shanggong is coming soon, let's listen to her explanation, The empress has always been fair in presiding over the harem, so she will definitely..."

Xun Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked at the kind-hearted Concubine Feng Gui. Does she want to calm things down or make a big deal out of it?It seemed that there was going to be a big disturbance this time, and she was the first to bear the brunt. Zhuang Dianzhi beside her had already turned pale, and it was hard to argue this time.

Sure enough, Concubine Shu struggled to get up, Mingyan's face was full of resentment, "Empress Empress? Humph, who doesn't know that Xu You is her confidant, sister, who in this harem is not cursing me behind my back except sister? Empress Your Majesty is wishing that I would give birth to a princess, that would be good..." Thinking of the empress looking at her stomach with that chilling gaze several times, she gradually believed in her heart that the empress wanted to let the Shanggong Bureau do this on purpose. for.

"Sister Concubine Shu, you can't talk nonsense. The empress is the master of the palace. There is no evidence. My sister will be guilty of slandering the empress." Concubine Feng advised.

It's okay for Concubine Shu not to listen to these words, but listening to them adds fuel to the flames, "Sister, don't stop me, my sister is so easy to talk, that's why I get bullied. I'm not a sister, so I have to swallow my anger."

Concubine Feng's mouth curled up secretly, but soon her face was full of panic, intending to calm the matter down.

Suddenly, the eunuch's report came from outside: "The emperor has arrived——"

Xun Zhen hurriedly kowtowed to salute with everyone, the emperor's arrival was too coincidental, it is absolutely impossible for this incident to subside, what should we do?Her forehead was covered with sweat at this moment, and her body couldn't help trembling. She and Zhuang Dianzhi would both be sentenced to death if something bad happened. Given Concubine Shu's pampered and indulgent personality, the possibility is extremely high. .
