Three anecdotes

"Don't you have breakfast here?" Cardinal Jin asked Shang Chengbi with a smile while twisting the silver chopsticks.

"Today is the first day of the new year, I'm going to sit with the queen." Shang Chengbi said.

"First day of junior high school? Why didn't you go to her place on the first day of junior high school in the past? Don't you want to renege on your debt?" He put his chopsticks on the stand, came over to put the jade on for Shang Chengbi himself, and pinched his waist with a smile , "Don't forget, you can hide past the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day."

Shang Chengbi pinched his ears, "You are not joking. I must come to you tonight."

Cardinal Jin smiled, "Really? Then you have to take a bath first. And—" He was close to Shang Chengbi's ear when he said this, and the servants knew that he had something private to say, so they left early.Cardinal Jin's hand grabbed Shang Chengbi's waist, slid down inadvertently, stopped on his buttocks, and whispered to his ear, "You need to wash your bowels."

Shang Chengbi blushed for a while, and pushed him.

Cardinal Jin bit his lower lip, "Have you become angry from embarrassment?"

Shang Chengbi twitched the tip of his nose, "I promised you, I will always make your wish come true."

"How do you know whether to let me get what I want? Maybe it's because I want to take care of you." Cardinal Jin smiled, "Really? Taoer."

Tao'er flicked the chicken livers in the food bowl, and didn't have time to pay attention to him.

"Your Majesty." Wang Chuanxi reminded me carelessly.

Shang Chengbi stopped Cardinal Jin's waist, lightly sipped his cheek, "I'll come back to accompany you after sitting down for a while. Eat more."

Cardinal Jin smiled, "Don't worry. I have to do a lot of strenuous things today."

Shang Chengbi pretended not to hear, and walked away.

In the Kunhe palace, the queen gently smoothed her temples in front of the bronze mirror, fumigated the back of her hands with rolling petal water again, wiped the swallow fat carefully, and applied peach pollen, before holding the hand of the close female officer, she went to the palace. Welcome at the door.

Shang Chengbi got off the chariot and took her in personally, "Zi Tong has been working hard recently." After all, he is a very face-saving emperor, and although he has created a marquis of Linyuan who favors the harem, he still has a good attitude towards the queen.

"Taking care of the six palaces and sharing worries for the king is the duty of a concubine." Empress Yu said.

Shang Chengbi knew that she would say that, after all, this queen came from a noble family, although she was a bit impulsive at times, she was not wrong on the surface.It's just that he didn't have anything to say to her, and the first and fifteenth day of each month was just an occasion to declare the harmony between the emperor and empress to the outside world.The imperial concubine who was sealed off a while ago caused a scandal, and Concubine Xi and Concubine Shu are Rong and others, and they will never threaten the status of the queen. The life of the queen is much more comfortable, and the Yu family can also rest assured for a while.

Shang Chengbi took her hand and sat down, and then a purple-clothed official came up early. Shang Chengbi glanced at it, and it was quite delicate, but he didn't have the appetite when eating with Cardinal Jin, so he took a few mouthfuls casually.Empress Yu had dinner with him twice a month. When there was no Cardinal Jin, the two treated each other as guests. With Cardinal Jin, Empress Yu persuaded him a few times at first, but later she couldn't control it and didn't dare to. , and nothing to say.But today, Empress Yu looked at him intentionally or unintentionally. Shang Chengbi didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but then he lost his appetite, so he put down the golden chopsticks, "Zitong, what's the matter?"

Empress Yu smiled slightly, "The emperor doesn't seem to have a good appetite today."

Shang Chengbi didn't speak.

Empress Yu said to herself, "When I get up in the morning, I'm afraid I'm tired of eating these snacks. Your Majesty, why don't you try this porridge, Qianyue."

"Yes." As soon as Empress Yu ordered, a graceful woman walked over. Shang Chengbi had already seen that there was a court lady serving today with a different dress than others, but he was used to everyone, so he didn't mind superior.Seeing this woman walk in now, he suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance, somewhat like the smell of Cardinal Jin, so he couldn't help but look up.

With just one glance, he was a little dazed, not because this woman was extraordinarily beautiful, but because she was clearly the concubine Xi and Shu who were very favored a while ago.

"Your Majesty, please use it slowly." Shang Chengbi was still in disbelief, but now he heard the voice, and he was sure it was her.It's just that compared to before, it's much thinner.The original Yeyan is still there, adding a bit of coquettishness, which can't help but make people feel fascinated.

"Concubine Shu?" Shang Chengbi asked.

The woman didn't answer, but her shoulders trembled slightly, and she fell into Shang Chengbi's arms in an instant.A pair of eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but one hand was placed where it should not be placed.

"Queen." Although Shang Chengbi was a bit lecherous, he was not to the point of prostitution, so although he didn't push Xihe away, he looked at the queen and waited for her to explain.

"Sister Concubine Shu offended the emperor a few days ago, and she blamed herself very much." Although the queen gritted her teeth with hatred, she had to speak for Xihe.

"Your Majesty—" Xi He lightly pressed against Shang Chengbi's chest, looking very pitiful.

Shang Chengbi easily pulled her up, "I still want to go to court."

"Yes." Hearing what he said, Xi He didn't speak any more, and just stood timidly aside with the corners of his mouth in his mouth.

Shang Chengbi didn't want to neglect her too much, so he said, "You've lost weight."

Xi He didn't say a word, and burst into tears.

The queen said, "I wrote a few days ago that Man Tie'er was seriously injured and Rongji's situation is very bad. Concubine Shu cried for several nights, didn't think about food and drink, and was haggard."

After Shang Chengbi sent five thousand troops, he didn't send another army. The few troops in Rongji were weak, how could they resist Helianxi's iron cavalry? , died, but Xihe was in the palace and hadn't gotten any news for the time being.It's just that Shang Chengbi is not a person who is sympathetic to women. It is impossible for him to fight against He Lianxi for a woman. It's fine if the queen doesn't say this, but when he said it, he was a little unhappy, and his tone turned cold in an instant, "You Qing It would be nice to have a little less."

Xi He quickly wiped away tears, "The emperor has sent five thousand elite soldiers, but my elder brother is incompetent and has implicated the soldiers of Daliang. Qian Yue really has no face to face the emperor." She prostrated herself as she spoke.

Shang Chengbi hurriedly helped her up, "Don't worry too much about your brother." He looked up at Xi and Lihua's rainy faces, "Your name is Qianyue? I didn't know it before."

Concubine Shu lowered her head and said, "The concubine Rongji's name is Mingsha Tiemo Teyi, and in Daliang's words she is called Qianyue."

Shang Chengbi was full of interest, "Really? It's very interesting. Reward Concubine Shu with a pinch of pearls." He patted Xihe's hand lightly, "Grind pearl powder and mix it with peach blossoms to smooth your face. I will see you tomorrow." At that time, I don’t want to cry.” After he finished speaking, he looked at the queen, “Zi Tong, I’m going to go with Xiang to track down the gold this time. If he manages it well, let him attack the Marquis of Cheng’an The title of title. I still have some papers to approve tonight, so I won’t come here.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. My concubine will definitely urge my nephew to live up to the grace." Empress Yu really didn't expect him to be so generous.

"Congratulations, empress." As soon as Shang Chengbi left, Xi and Concubine Shu changed their faces.

"I don't know if it's because I didn't do my job well after chasing back the gold that has already been spent, so why not?" Empress Yu was quite sober.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Shao Junjun is now King Jingbian's student, and the days of being a dignitary are still to come." Xi He sat down.

The queen said coldly, "I just hope that you will have some skills tomorrow night. It is best to stay with the emperor for a few more days, so that you are not as useless as those little girls." She has arranged many singers and dancers to serve Shang Chengbi these days, Shang Chengbi pushed them one by one.The suspicion in her heart was getting deeper and deeper, but she didn't dare to judge rashly.We can only pin our hopes on Xihe.

"With the elixir bestowed by my mother, naturally I can't live up to this kindness." Xi He said.

"By the way, I would like to remind you that since you have entered the palace, you should do what a concubine should do. If you think that the emperor will send troops to Rong Ji—"

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'm not as stupid as Cardinal Jin, thinking that I can do whatever I want with just a little bit of beauty." She clenched her fists fiercely. Several important officials spoke for Rong Ji, but they didn't want to be destroyed by Cardinal Jin.

When Empress Yu saw her expression, she knew that she was determined to avenge Cardinal Jin. The interests were the same, so she could use it naturally.

"Yun Shu, why are you here?" Cardinal Jin was lying on the edge of the Yeqing Pool, but it was Yun Shu who was squatting on the side and spreading petals.

"It's been a while since I served the prince." Yun Shu knelt by the pool and put a huge bath towel on Cardinal Jin.

"Are you feeling better, where is Hualuo?" Cardinal Jin asked.

"Hua Luo wants to watch them decoct the medicine in person. The servant girl is much better, so you don't have to worry." Seeing Cardinal Jin approaching, Yun Shu carefully squeezed his shoulder blades.

Cardinal Jin looked around, "I want to rely on you for a while, you all step back. Come and serve the emperor when the emperor comes."

"Yes." The court ladies and eunuchs all around filed out.Cardinal Jin leaned against the wall of the pool, "Is it done?"

"Yes. They all said, thank you Mr. Ende, this time you must follow Mr. Chu to redeem your sins." Yun Shu seemed very grateful, and even his hands trembled a little.

"Tell them, we must get the gold back before Yu Tongxiang and Shang Conghuan, and - don't trust Chu Yiqing too much." Cardinal Jin said.

"Yes." Yun Shu really didn't know what Shizi was planning.Pretend to kill Yunjuan and Diugui, ask Mr. Chu to take them out, and ask them to recover the batch of gold based on clues.It's fine if it's a cover-up in the palace, but why doesn't even Mr. Chu believe it.Sometimes she is really afraid, and she doesn't know how many people really believe in Shizi's heart.Or, none at all.But even so, as long as he was loyal, the eight of them followed all the way from Chudi to the capital, didn't they just make up their minds to be loyal to the prince for the rest of their lives?Yun Shu settled down, and when he lowered his head to wipe the water again, his eyes suddenly went dark and he fell into the pool.

"Tell the imperial physician!" Cardinal Jin immediately carried Yun Shu out.

"Go back to Lord Marquis. The patient is fine. It's just that he was recovering from a serious illness, his body was weak, and it was very hot in the Yeqing Pool, so he fainted." The imperial physician replied.

"Reward." Cardinal Jin sat in front of the screen, playing with the Guiyan dart, and said a word lightly.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. The old minister will write a prescription when he returns home, and he will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine." The imperial physician also knew that this Marquis of Linyuan could not be offended.

"Then it's time to trouble you." Cardinal Jin suddenly raised his eyes, the imperial physician seemed to be taken aback by him, Cardinal Jin smiled slightly, "Physician Xu, is that right?"

"Yes." The imperial doctor was worried.

"Doctor Xu is a hero." Cardinal Jin smiled.

The Imperial Physician Xu did not understand the meaning of his words, and did not dare to answer rashly.

Cardinal Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "I have been in this palace for five years. Every imperial doctor in the imperial hospital, no matter how old or young, just looks at me and their heart beats like they are about to fly out. Ever since the imperial physician came in, I have already You laughed three times, but you are very calm."

Imperial Physician Xu still lowered his head, "Your Majesty is mighty, don't dare to offend."

Cardinal Jin stood up gracefully, "Tiger's prestige? I've always only had foxes pretending to be tigers." When he said this, the Guiyan dart in his hand flashed, and it flew past Dr. Xu's arm.

Doctor Xu seemed to be taken aback, unable to move for a moment.

Cardinal Jin stood in front of him, "Since I entered the palace, I have been injured seven or eight hundred times. I also recognize a leading eunuch in the Imperial Hospital, but I have never seen you, Imperial Doctor Xu." He suddenly stretched out his hand, Clutching the doctor Xu's neck, "Who do you belong to? Tell me!"

"Chonghua, let go." As soon as Shang Chengbi entered the door, he saw Cardinal Jin pinching the imperial physician's neck.

Cardinal Jin pushed the imperial physician to the ground, and the imperial physician Xu kowtowed to Shang Chengbi.Shang Chengbi waved his hand to tell him to step back before saying, "This is recommended by the empress."

"Why?" Cardinal Jin asked.

"You don't have to ask." Shang Chengbi said.

"Why?!" Cardinal Jin asked again.

Shang Chengbi shunned the servant and pulled him into his arms, "The matter of Mrs. Lu, plus your brother has entered the palace. She is afraid—"

Cardinal Jin understood, "It turned out that I was afraid that my brother would poison her, so I wanted a personal doctor by my side. The queen is really careful."

Shang Chengbi brushed his hair, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would get angry. Why did you send him here today?"

Cardinal Jin smiled, "So, you were afraid that I would get angry. Don't worry, my brother has always been regarded as a living god, and some people are worried that he will poison people—" Cardinal Jin put Shang Chengbi's ear in his mouth, "It's too late for me to be happy, why would I be angry?"

"Really?" Shang Chengbi looked at him.

Cardinal Jin turned his head, "You care so much about whether I am happy or not, why don't you just do something that makes me happier."
