Chapter 434: Don't daydream

"The mother and concubine were dizzy by the quarrel with the three children today, and the imperial physician said after the examination that she would rest in peace."
When Liu Zhao came back from the Yamen, Gu Jiu pulled him to gossip.
"Does the mother's concubine's body matter?"
"It's okay. It's just that the children are arguing so much that makes her uncomfortable."
The blood pressure is soaring, but fortunately, it is well maintained, and it may be noisy for cerebral infarction.
Gu Jiu said again: "I told Madam Fang not to take her children to Chunhetang unless necessary. In case she collides with her eldest brother and sister Nian, it will be another cry."
"Brother Yu was bullied?" Liu Zhao asked suddenly.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Why do you think so, nothing. The eldest brother is very curious, and he reached out to poke Yu brother. As for the children, it's not serious or serious. Mother Fang loves Yu brother very much. You know her too. His face was stern and he looked fierce.
It is estimated that the eldest brother was frightened, and started crying at once. As soon as he cried, the two little ones also cried. The three children cried together, and the sound could upset the roof. Fortunately, the concubine did not faint. "
Liu Zhao imagined that scene with a smile on his lips.
In my heart, I was madly complaining about his own son's lack of courage. He cried after being poked. In the future, we must be strictly disciplined.
He asked: "Brother Yu has an hour to cry this time?"
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "I cried for half an hour, and fell asleep after drinking milk."
"I only cried for half an hour, and there was progress." Liu Zhao praised him generously.
It's just a point of praise, which makes people laugh.
"I was impeached, you plan to keep it from me?"
Master Xiao Jiuxing asked about the crime, and Liu Zhao witty replied, "I originally planned to tell you tonight."
Gu Jiu doubts, what a coincidence?
"So many Yushi impeach me, will something happen? What is your majesty's attitude?"
Liu Zhao said: "You don't need to worry. Just rely on you to solve the livelihoods of the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city, and the emperor will always protect you. Not to mention, you have added tens of thousands of people to the capital, from Jing Zhaoyin to the household The three provinces all value you in particular. That is, the Yushitai, catching you."
This year, an important criterion for officials' assessment is to see whether the population increases or decreases.
The increase in population indicates that the weather here is good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the parents are competent officials, and the evaluation is naturally excellent.
Refugees outside the city have Beijing Hukou because they bought a house.
It is equivalent to a sudden increase of tens of thousands of people in the capital.
what is this?
This is the political achievement!
Without the cooperation of the government, can the project outside Nancheng Gate be carried out smoothly?
Therefore, Gu Jiu solved the livelihood of the refugees, and the government's credit cannot be denied, right.
The population growth, such a great achievement, of course, must be recorded in the government's credit book.
Yushitai's gang of Yushi are purely shit-stirring sticks. Annoying.
But this group of people can't get over the storm.
Gu Jiu laughed, "I know for the first time that in the eyes of the Three Provinces and Six Departments, I am pretty rare."
Liu Zhao said: "Because you are not a man, you can bring merit to them but will not become a competitor, so you are rare."
"Really realistic."
Gu Jiu spit out.
Liu Zhao held her hand and said: "You don't have to worry about officialdom affairs, you do what you want to do. I will handle the ups and downs in officialdom for you."
Gu Jiu laughed, "In this way, I have to increase the official budget for you. How about an increase of half?"
"It's up to you."
...
The nectar palace.
Jiang Shuyi knelt on the hall, putting her posture extremely low.
Today, she is here to plead concubine Xue Gui.
She gave birth to a ghost, and it is no longer possible to spoil her again.
The emperor doesn't go to bed with a woman who thinks of a ghost as soon as she meets.
Today, although she is expensive as Shuyi, her situation in the harem is extremely dangerous.
She is young, her capital is also her shortcoming.
Being too young also means lack of accumulation, let alone the background.
The young mother's family had time to run a network in the court.
Moreover, she was originally from a poor family, and her family could not rely on it.
He failed to give birth to a son again, and had offended a few empresses in the harem before, and was equally at odds with Fei Li De.
Anytime, anywhere, she may die silently in the harem.
She doesn't want to die, so she has to struggle.
Zhou Miao gave her an idea, and for the present, she could only rejoin Xue Guifei.
Anyway, she originally came out from Xue Guifei. It is not difficult to surrender again and kneel down.
She also thought it was not difficult.
But when she was kneeling in the hall of Ganlu Palace, she knew how difficult it was.
I'm used to the life of being a master, I can still kneel down on my knees.
And not only to kneel down, but also to be humble enough.
Jiang Shuyi bit her lip, she wanted to cry.
How could life in the harem be so miserable.
Obviously he was still a master before, and everyone in the harem must hold her and flatter her, and everyone around her. Whatever she wants, she can open her mouth.
Sometimes, you don't even need to open your mouth. With one look, someone will get things done for you.
Even her mother's family, in the capital's noble circle, the status is rising. The father and brother were taken to go out for a long time, as if they were the elder and son of a wealthy family.
The whole family waited for her to give birth to the little prince and ascend to heaven, but everything was gone.
Since she gave birth to a ghost, the emperor has not stepped into her bedroom.
All the flattering people who had surrounded her had dispersed.
The people who served her carefully in the past dare to show her face.
Outside, she was obviously dystocia, and the little prince did not keep it.
But everyone in the harem looked at her eyes, as if they knew that she had given birth to a ghost and was rejected by the emperor.
In just two or three months, she fell into the dust from the clouds and really tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings.
There is no charcoal in the snow, only falling into the ground.
Only Zhou Miao did not leave, and did not give up on her.
At this moment, Jiang Shuyi had knee pain.
She secretly raised her head and looked at the incense burner.
She has been kneeling for three sticks of incense, nearly half an hour. No wonder the knee hurts so much.
Concubine Xue Gui leaned back on the couch, playing rouge.
The finest rouge is adjusted, not so bright, but just right.
She is already in her 50s, but fortunately she is well maintained and looks young.
The hall was quiet, only the sound of Concubine Xue Gui fiddling with cups and plates.
"amount!"
Jiang Shuyi made a little noise, and her knee was really painful. In order to show her sincerity, she did not put a knee pad on her knee.
Knee suffered.
What is more uncomfortable is her heart.
Her heart is suffering from Ling Chi.
"Oh, who is this? There are people kneeling here, you guys one by one, why don't you tell this palace."
Concubine Xue Gui made a sudden realization, and it seemed that Jiang Shuyi's existence was discovered.
The maidservants acted to plead guilty, "The servant girl deserves to die. The servant girl was afraid of disturbing the maid's Yaxing, so she didn't report it and asked Jiang Shuyi to kneel for a while."
Jiang Shuyi knew that these were all the methods used by Concubine Xue to rub her against her, but she could only recognize it.
She knelt on the ground, bowed and said, "Don't blame this sister, the concubine refused to let her report it. Niang, the concubine please send you peace."
Concubine Xue Gui pursed her lips and smiled, "It turned out to be Jiang Shuyi, you are a rare visitor. How come you have time to come to this palace today?"
Concubine Xue Gui did not let Jiang Shuyi get up, so Jiang Shuyi had to kneel all the time.
"Niang, the concubine used to be deceived by lard, self-satisfied, and did a lot of wrong things. Now the concubine knows that she is wrong and is willing to repent, please give her a chance."
After speaking, Jiang Shuyi knelt down on the ground, extremely humble. Putting yourself in the dust, trampling on others.
Concubine Xue Gui sneered, "Oh, you say this, I don’t dare to be in this palace. Who are you in this palace, how dare you give you a chance for the lady of Shuyi. The lady of the palace is the most favored woman of your Majesty, that is this palace? If you see it, you have to be courteous for three points. Do you think that?"
"The empress is very true. What kind of character is Jiang Shuyi, and where does he need to be guilty. I'm afraid it's not acting."
The ladies of the court laughed and laughed at Jiang Shuyi.
Many of them were Jiang Shuyi's companions at the beginning, and they worked as maids in Ganlu Palace together.
In just a few years, it turned and turned.
Life experience is really unclear.
Jiang Shuyi raised her head and said, "Niang, the concubine really knows something wrong. Your majesty dislikes the concubine, and the concubine has nowhere to go, so she can only ask her to be in front of her. Please see that the concubine is from Ganlu Palace, and rescue the concubine. Put."
"I don't dare to be in this palace. You are Jiang Shuyi, the person on the cusp of your Majesty's heart. You should go to your good sister Li Defei. She would be happy to help you if she wants to come."
Concubine Xue Gui sneered again and again.
She said that today's young people are uncomfortable, too anxious, and sooner or later they will be taught. Do you really think that if you are pampered, you can sit back and relax?
In the decades of life, the women around your Majesty can be spoiled for a few years. Just dare to arrogantly face her in front of her.
It's better now, color hasn't faded, love has relaxed.
Do not!
Jiang Shuyi was completely out of favor.
A woman who falls out of favor is slightly better than a woman who is in the cold.
Maybe it's better to beat the woman in the cold palace.
"I beg Niang Niang. Concubines are useful to Niang Niang."
Jiang Shuyi was flustered, but she did not flinch.
"The concubine knows a lot about Concubine Li De. If the empress wants to deal with Concubine Li De, the concubine can help."
Concubine Xue Gui laughed, "Jiang Shuyi don't want to laugh, when will this palace deal with Concubine Li Defei? My palace and Concubine Li Defei are good sisters. If you change tomorrow, the palace will ask her to have tea."
Jiang Shuyi's face was pale, "What should the concubine do, the empress is willing to forgive the concubine."
Concubine Xue Gui looked at her with a smile, "What is your relationship with this palace, why does this palace forgive you?"
Jiang Shuyi's face froze.
Xue Guifei smiled and said: "Can't tell? Then please go back. My palace is going to rest."
After that, Concubine Xue Gui stood up and was about to leave the hall.
Jiang Shuyi panicked, this was her only plan, and she couldn't give up.
She tore off her face fiercely, threw it to the ground, and shouted: "The servant girl is a maidservant's dog. The servant girl is called a servant girl, and the servant girl dare not open her mouth. The girl tells the servant girl to shut up, but the servant girl dare not bark. It is the servant’s heaven, the servant’s master."
Concubine Xue Gui sat down again, "Tsk-tsk-tsk! I really didn't see that Tangtang Jiang Shuyi was willing to be a slave."
"The slave servant has been a running dog of the empress from beginning to end." Jiang Shuyi completely gave up. As long as it can survive.
Concubine Xue Gui smiled, "Since I am a running dog in this palace, call twice and listen."
Jiang Shuyi raised her head, the corner of her eyes swept across everyone's face, laughing, mocking, gloating... and so on.
How beautiful and arrogant she was at the beginning, how painful she is now.
When she flew so high at the beginning, but now she fell down, everyone wanted to step on her.
"Wow..."
She opened her mouth with difficulty.
Xue Guifei shook her head, "Have you just heard the noise?"
"No."
Jiang Shuyi paled, "Wow..."
This time the voice is obviously louder than before.
"Jiang Shuyi, what was your name just now? Why didn't my palace hear clearly."
Jiang Shuyi calmed down and warned herself that ninety-nine steps have been taken in a hundred steps, and she must not fail in the end.
She threw herself away, shouting in the loudest voice: "Wow!"
"Okay! The name is good, watch the reward." Xue Guifei laughed.
No matter how arrogant you were, now it is better to kneel in front of the palace and learn how to bark.
The ladies of the court all showed contempt.
They were scolding Jiang Shuyi for being shameless. In order to climb Gaozhi, looking for a backer, even the face is not.
"Xie Niangniang reward!"
Jiang Shuyi was relieved.
Breaking through her psychological limit, she seemed to become stronger.
Concubine Xue Gui laughed, "You can bend and stretch. You are both a lady of Shuyi and a running dog."
"Xie Niangniang praises." Jiang Shuyi was serious.
Concubine Xue Gui raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It's rare to see someone like you."
So she was more defensive against Jiang Shuyi.
Anyone who can bend and stretch is a person who can do great things.
This Jiang Shuyi is not simple.
Give her a chance, maybe she can get up again.
However, it is impossible for a woman who has given birth to a ghost to be favored by His Majesty again.
Fortunately, Concubine Xue Gui was willing to give Jiang Shuyi a chance.
If Jiang Shuyi had only a dystocia and gave birth to a stillborn child, Concubine Xue would never see her.
Xue Guifei smiled softly, "Kneeling for so long, get up."
"Thank you, Niang."
Jiang Shuyi got up from the ground, almost kneeling down again because of too many knees.
Her legs trembled, but she insisted on standing up straight.
Xue Guifei smiled coldly.
Even if you stand up straight today, this palace can bend your spine.
"Come here, help Jiang Shuyi down and put some medicine on her. I'll talk about the next thing later."
"Yes."
Jiang Shuyi opened her mouth, swallowed everything she wanted to say, and finally only said, "Thank you, mother, for her kindness."
She hurt her knee and almost didn't hurt her when she was taking the medicine, not to mention being ridiculed and insulted by others.
She endured it all!
She dragged her injured leg back to her bedroom, Zhou Miao had been waiting for a long time.
"How is it? Is it going well?"
Zhou Miao took her from the court lady and helped her sit down.
Jiang Shuyi's face was pale with cold sweat, "Kneeling for almost an hour, and learning how to bark, finally in exchange for Xue Guifei's forgiveness."
"That's not bad."
"That's not bad?" Jiang Shuyi glared.
Zhou Miao smiled coldly, "No needles, no whips, no knives, no jail, no hunger for three days and three nights.
Just knelt for an hour and learned two dog barks, and you forgave me. What do you want?
Do you want to take a trip to Lenggong and see what is true life is better than death?
There are many ways to humiliate people in the palace, let alone kneel for an hour, even if you kneel for a day, as long as you can get forgiveness, it is worth it. "
Zhou Miao unceremoniously broke the net woven in Jiang Shuyi's heart and taught her to face reality again.
Jiang Shuyi couldn't accept it for a while, covering her face and crying.
"Okay, don't cry. It's good to have the ending now. You can also refuse to accept it. You died silently that day. Don't blame the heavens and others."
"Don't talk about it, I understand the truth. I have been prepared for this. But I still feel sad and painful."
"Which people in this palace are no wonder they are not suffering?"
Jiang Shuyi wiped away her tears, "What shall we do next?"
Zhou Miao rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I listened to the imperial concubine's dispatch. She pointed to the east, so don't go west. She told you to beat people, and you couldn't be soft. She told you to kill, and you had to hold the knife tightly. Knife goes in, red knife goes out."
Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth and shivered subconsciously, "If she tells me to kill Li Defei, what should I do?"
"You can't kill it by mistake. As for whether you can kill the opponent, you can't guarantee."
Jiang Shuyi nodded, "I understand. But, should I always lean on Concubine Xue?"
"if not?"
"Can Madam Zhao think of a way?"
Zhou Miao snorted, "No matter how capable Madam Zhao is, she can't reach the harem."
"But your Majesty values ​​Madam Zhao very much. If Madam Zhao is willing to say something nice to your Majesty..."
"Don't daydream. Foreign ministers must not interfere in the harem, not to mention that she is the grandson's wife. In her capacity, if she speaks for you, the problem will rise to the controversy. Do you understand? If you really want to die, you will be gifted to death by your majesty himself."
