[Qing Chuan] Yongzheng's embarrassing empress
Chapter 42 (1)
Just now Shuwan cried like a little cat, the fourth elder brother ordered someone to fetch water and washed Shuwan's face himself.
He soaked the cloth towel and wrung it dry, then pressed the cloth towel on Shuwan's face with his big hands and rubbed it.
"Hmm..." Shuwan tilted her head back and started to push the fourth elder brother, "You're murdering your own wife!"
The fourth elder brother soaked the cloth again, and this time wiped his face lightly.
"Squeamish, I didn't try hard at all."
Shuwan yelled: "My good fellow! You're already like this if you don't try hard! If you tried hard, you'd wipe my face off. My lord, you're washing your face, not your horse's ass!"
Has anyone made a comparison like this?The fourth elder brother supported his waist, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.
He wiped it twice and felt that it was almost done, so he raised his hand and threw the cloth into the basin.
The fourth elder brother held Shuwan's face, "Let me see, have you wiped your face clean?"
Shuwan obediently raised her head to let him see, maybe because she cried just now, Shuwan's eyes became clearer.She looked at the fourth elder brother innocently, and the fourth elder brother felt his heart beat a few times.
He coughed and deliberately teased Shuwan, "Well, it's clean, but it's also ugly from crying."
Shuwan was so angry that she thumped him, "I didn't cry until I became ugly! It was you who disfigured me!"
The angrier Shuwan gets, the more Brother Si wants to laugh, it's so much fun teasing her.
"Aren't you satisfied?" Fourth elder brother said with a stern face, "Go out and find out, whose man washes a woman's face?"
Shuwan thought to herself, with your method, I still don't want to let you rub it!
She flattened her mouth, "Okay! Thank you brother for wiping my face, to express my gratitude..."
Shuwan raised her hand, "I allow you to kiss my fingers!"
The fourth elder brother was so angry that he grabbed Shuwan's hand and bit it hard.
I'm getting used to you, I'm getting fatter and bolder!
In the evening, the fourth elder brother and Shuwan went to bed after washing, but Shuwan insisted that the fourth elder brother sleep with her in his arms.
The fourth elder brother held her in his arms and let her rest on his shoulders, "Being more and more squeamish!"
"It's not that I'm squeamish, it's that I understand you very well! You just like me very much, and you just want to hug me. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed to say so, so I specially give you this opportunity!"
"Crap!"
Shuwan asked him, "You won't be in danger when you go out to fight, right?"
The fourth elder brother advised her to feel at ease, "We follow Huang Ama, how could something happen?"
When going on an expedition, the emperor's side is the safest.
Da Fujin and Wu Fujin also said the same thing, but Shuwan felt relieved only when she heard the fourth elder brother say it herself.
"Today I went to my sister-in-law and asked her what she packed for my elder brother before."
The fourth elder brother suddenly realized, no wonder Shuwan came back so late today.
"Let Su Peisheng prepare the luggage and items, you don't have to worry about it."
Shuwan sighed: "How can I not worry? The weather will still be cold after the next year! The further north the weather gets colder, and I heard that when the flowers in the capital are blooming, the grassland will still snow! I need to prepare a few more sets for you." Clothes, I don’t know how long this battle will last, and I have to prepare some thin clothes for you.”
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "There is no need to prepare thin clothes, you have to dress lightly when fighting, and you will be reprimanded by Huang Ama if you bring so many things. When the weather is warmer, just send people to the grassland."
"Huh? Can you still send something?"
"Look at what you asked. We are going to fight, not to live in seclusion. Huang Ama and the prince need to communicate frequently and handle government affairs. When the season changes, someone will come to pick up the clothes. You can put the letter in the clothes and send it over. Don't worry, we princes will neither be hungry nor cold."
When the fourth elder brother said this, Shuwan felt more at ease.
"Just write to me and tell me what you lack, and I'll find a way to get it for you."
The fourth elder brother put his arms around Shuwan, laughing at her naivety.Although they live in the palace, they do not lack food and drink, but they have a lot of food and clothing, and they are not as free as outside the palace. What can she get?
Shuwan said again: "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
The fourth elder brother frowned, "The Queen Mother and Er Niang have already excused you from paying your respects, so don't go."
"No! Today I went out to find my sister-in-law. Since I can visit my sister-in-law, there is no reason why I can't greet my elders. If I don't go, I'm afraid I will be criticized."
The fourth elder brother was reluctant to let Shuwan go out, it was cold and slippery outside, she went out early in the morning, and sat with her for a long time, how tired she was!
"I don't want to express my filial piety at this moment. Although you haven't gone to pay your respects these days, you often send things to Yonghe Palace. Erniang doesn't say anything, but she must remember it in her heart. She won't blame you."
Shuwan said in her heart: Hehe, Concubine De is your own mother, so of course she is true, kind and beautiful in your eyes!
"Emiang doesn't blame me, but other people will talk about me. Just let me pay my respects! Didn't the imperial doctor say that too! My health is fine, and my fetus is stable. When I go out to pay my respects, I should just relax and stay there every day." It's very boring at home."
The fourth elder brother couldn't resist her, "Okay! You can go if you want!"
Shuwan smiled happily, she turned her head to look at the fourth elder brother, "You are so kind, let me give you another reward!"
The fourth elder brother looked at her with a half-smile, "What reward? Kiss your finger?"
"No! I have many tricks in my beauty, let's change one!"
With a smirk, Shuwan reached out and slid her hand into his lower garment, covering the fourth elder brother's abdominal muscles.
"The reward is love and stroking! I will rub your belly and lull you to sleep!"
The fourth elder brother bowed his head, the quilt was tightly covered, he couldn't see the little hand that was making trouble.
Ever since he strengthened his exercise, Shuwan has fallen in love with his stomach, and has to touch it twice from time to time.
The fourth elder brother took out her hand with a cold face, "Is this a reward for me or for yourself? Don't make trouble, sleep."
Shuwan: Humph!mean!
The next day, Shuwan and the fourth elder brother got up to wash up together. After breakfast, the fourth elder brother called all the eunuchs and maids who were serving Shuwan, told them to take good care of Fujin, and checked Shuwan's sedan chair before going out. go to school.
Shuwan complained about his mother-in-law, but she was very sweet in her heart. Not all men are so careful.
Arriving at the Yonghe Palace in a sedan chair, the Empress Defei quickly ordered someone to bring water and snacks, and even spread two layers of cushions on Shuwan's chair.
She is indeed very enthusiastic in action, but her words are not very nice.
Concubine De smiled softly, "I haven't seen you since you were pregnant. Why did you remember to say hello today? I thought I would not see you again until you were confinement."
She accused Shuwan of not paying attention to her inside and outside the words, and deliberately did not come to pay her respects because she was pregnant.
Shuwan took a deep breath, her mind was full of Zaan words.
Please, please, please, fart, please be safe and you will be safe?Can you live forever?I think you can't be safe if you don't find faults every day.
She swallowed back Zaun's words that rushed into her throat, she was pregnant and was going to be a mother soon, so she couldn't just tease others.She wants to be a gentle and firm mother and set a good example for her children.
Shuwan cheered herself up in her heart, come on!Shu Xiaokui!You don't have to hate people!
"Emiang is considerate of our juniors, so she spared me my greetings. You took good care of me, but I have to be sensible. The imperial doctor said that my fetus has stabilized, so I came to pay my respects again."
Concubine De smiled and said: "Really? Don't have any troubles again. You are a double body now, so delicate! Others can't afford it!"
"It's all right now, except... some nausea, easy to sleep, no oily smell, no tea, no fatigue, no anger, everything else is fine."
Concubine De curled her lips and sneered, so many people have had children, but she is delicate and has many things to do.
"I'll figure it out, you're going to be pregnant this month!"
"That's right! The imperial doctor said that the stomach will be swollen after the Chinese New Year."
Concubine De put on a good-for-you expression, "Now that your pregnancy is stable and your stomach is getting bigger, it's time for you to think about it."
Shuwan probably guessed what Concubine De was going to say, but she pretended not to understand.
"Er Niang means...packing the luggage for the fourth elder brother? I'm already preparing for this. I went to ask my sister-in-law for advice yesterday."
Concubine De frowned displeasedly, "I didn't mean that! Before your pregnancy was unstable, I was afraid that you would be overwhelmed, so I didn't mention you. Now you say that your health is fine, so I'll just say it. You should also tell Si Ah Brother arranged for two princesses."
Shuwan picked her fingernails vigorously, "This...is it my daughter-in-law's fault. A few days ago, our yard was non-stop, I really forgot about it."
Concubine De said meaningfully: "It's best to really forget! You, you don't care about Si elder brother's affairs at all! You can't serve elder brother, you have to arrange two people who know cold and heat for fourth elder brother. You You're a pregnant woman, so what's the matter with always occupying elder brother? Others will laugh at you if they find out."
Shuwan endured and endured, and finally forced a smile.
"Er Niang is right, I will discuss it with the fourth elder brother when I go back."
Hearing Shuwan's assurance, Concubine De felt much relieved.
"It's almost time, let's go! Go to Ningshou Palace!"
When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, because Shuwan hadn't come for a long time, she naturally received a lot of attention.
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "I heard that Si Fujin went to visit Da Fujin yesterday? No wonder! I came here today to say hello."
Concubine Yi rubbed her hands secretly, implying that Shuwan disrespected the Queen Mother, if she hadn't gone out to show her secrets, she would still be pretending to be weak at home!
Shuwan smiled and said: "Isn't Madam Yi a clairvoyant? My story has reached your ears so quickly."
Shuwan knelt down to salute the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I am in good health now, and I am here to greet you. My grandson-in-law is not filial. She hid at home for so long before coming out to see you."
The queen mother was very happy when she saw Shuwan, "Get up, get up! You are heavy, don't squat down! Come here and let me see!"
The queen mother asked Shuwan to come to her eyes, "Oh! You have lost weight and haggarded, I think you should stay at home!"
Shuwan touched her face, she has been well raised recently, neither fat nor thin.The haggard face may be because she didn't wear powder or makeup today.
The queen mother is the legendary straight daughter of steel!She couldn't see the difference between makeup and plain makeup, she just felt that Shuwan was haggard.
Shuwan smiled and said: "I think I'm pretty good, the queen mother loves me, so I look haggard."
The Queen Mother shook her head in disapproval, "It's true that you've become darker and thinner, you didn't look like this before!"
Shuwan doubts herself a little, is there such a big difference between my makeup and plain makeup?
After chatting with the Queen Mother, Shuwan sat down behind Concubine De.
Sanfujin glanced at Shuwan, and turned her head angrily.Up to now, the third elder brother has not forgiven her, and her mother-in-law Concubine Rong doesn't care about her as much as before.Why did Sifu Jin come to pay his respects?How nice it is for her to stay at home for the rest of her life!
What happens when a group of women, a group of women competing for the same man, sit together?
Of course it's war!
Fortunately, the palace rules are strict, and the emperor is a master of Duan Shui, so the women in the harem did not fight.
It's just that the queen mother has a good temper and the language barrier, these women will inevitably be eccentric when they get together.
Shuwan sat obediently, listening to her mother-in-law arguing with others.
Everyone quarreled for a while, and the topic turned to Shuwan.
Concubine Hui asked Shuwan: "Si Fujin married in less than half a year, right?"
Shuwan hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes! You have a really good memory."
Concubine Hui smiled, "It's not that I have a good memory. The Crown Princess married in June. Chinese New Year is coming soon, so if you do the math, it will be half a year. You married in after the Crown Princess, so naturally it will be less than half a year."
Concubine Hui said to the concubine in a joking tone: "The concubine entered the door earlier than Fujin! You are inferior to Fujin!"
The princess's face froze, she held the arm of the chair, her knuckles turned white.
"Concubine Hui, don't make fun of me, I'm even embarrassed to say that."
Concubine Hui made a gesture of concern, "Why is this a joke? Getting married and having a son is a matter of course. Don't you want to give birth to a son for the crown prince as soon as possible?"
The palace maid translated Concubine Hui's words, and the empress dowager agreed after understanding it.
"That's right! Concubine Hui is right, the princess should hurry up!"
The face of the crown princess turned pale. She is a crown princess with a noble status.Discussing her childbirth in front of concubines, big and small, made her feel embarrassed and humiliated.But Concubine Hui is a concubine, considered an elder, she can't get angry, otherwise she will be domineering.
The princess could only smile at the queen mother, saying that what the queen mother said was right.
Shuwan sympathizes with the princess, but in this case, there is nothing she can do.
After the greeting time, the princess did not say a word.Concubine Hui, who had always been quiet, became a talking point.
For a while, they said that the charcoal fire this year was not good, and the smoke was heavy, and for a while, they said that the clothes brought in this year were of worse quality than last year.
Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi agreed repeatedly, and Concubine De followed suit.
The relationship between these few people is mediocre, and they talked very speculatively today.
After the greetings were over, Concubine De told Shuwan to go back directly, since she had been with her for so long, it was time to go back and rest.
Shuwan is indeed very tired. On days when she doesn't need to greet her, she can lie down and sit when she wants.Come out today to say hello, she has to sit with her legs crossed all the time, with a faint smile on her face, and always beware of harsh questions thrown by others.
Not only the body is tired, but the heart is also tired.
Back at elder brother's place, Shuwan removed her hair, changed her clothes and went to bed, even missed lunch.
When she woke up, Nanny Ning ordered someone to cook the noodles.
"You slept soundly, and the servant didn't dare to disturb you. The lunch was cold. The servant thought that the lunch would taste bad if it was reheated. So I asked the dining room to knead the noodles, boil another pot of chicken soup, and put all the oil in it." Clean it up. When you wake up, cook a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup and eat it with sour radish."
Shuwan asked Chun'er to pull her hair, "Hey, I don't like chicken soup at all, but let me tell you this, I think this chicken noodle soup must be delicious."
Nurse Ning happily said: "Just wait a moment, the chicken noodle soup will be ready soon."
Xia'er and Qiuxiang brought up the noodles and a table of side dishes.
Shuwan took a piece of sour radish and put it in her mouth. It tasted very sour and smelled like sesame oil after chewing.
Shuwan took another sip of the noodle soup, the chicken soup was delicious without any oily or fishy smell, it was really good.
"It's good to eat something as simple as this. Some cooks have to put a lot of seasonings when mixing a side dish. Even the oil is fried with various spices. It's boring to eat!"
Bingxiang complained to her, "Si elder brother likes light food. What did Fujin say when he first married? It's tasteless, and the cook doesn't even want to put in the seasoning. Could it be that he bought the seasoning with his monthly bill?"
Everyone laughed, Shuwan slapped the table to pretend to be angry.
"Okay! Dare to expose my old story, your monthly schedule for this month is gone, and Nurse Ning is going to buy seasonings!"
Bingxiang hurriedly laughed and said: "Fu Jin spared the servant, and the servant knew it was wrong. After thinking about it, the food is still delicious!"
Everyone laughed together, and the little maid came in to announce that Wufu Jin had arrived.
Qiu Xiang and others rushed to greet him, Wu Fujin entered the room and saw that the table was full, his face blushed instantly.
"I came at an untimely time, and disturbed my fourth sister-in-law for dinner."
Shuwan beckoned her to sit down, "It's not your problem, it's the wrong time for me to eat. I tend to get sleepy recently, I don't know when I get sleepy, and I always don't get enough sleep. Please come back and I will sleep until Now."
Shuwan ordered someone to fetch another pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Sister and brother, you can eat with me too."
Wu Fujin waved her hands again and again to say that she had eaten, and Bingxiang filled her with noodles.Seeing how delicious Shuwan's food was, Wu Fujin couldn't help eating it, and finished a bowl of noodles in a while.
After eating, the maid served Wu Fujin to wipe his mouth and rinse his mouth.Wu Fujin looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and his face blushed again.
Shuwan pretended not to see her blushing, she picked up a random topic and chatted with her about the princess.
"This morning, I saw the embarrassment of the princess, and I was worried for her."
Wu Fujin couldn't care less about being shy, and she also echoed: "Yes! I'm one generation lower, and I can't even speak hard."
"Concubine Hui usually doesn't like to talk, why are you competing with the concubine today?"
Wu Fujin sighed: "The fourth sister-in-law didn't come to pay her respects a few days ago, so the news is not well-informed. A few days ago, the emperor handed over the power of managing the harem to the princess."
Shuwan was surprised, but she could understand the emperor's choice after thinking about it carefully.
There is no queen in the palace, and the four concubines are all concubines. In the past, it was fine if the princess did not enter the house. Now that the prince has married in, of course the noble daughter-in-law has to be the housekeeper.
Wu Fujin went on to say: "In the past, the four concubines were in charge of the palace affairs together. You take care of a little, and I take care of a little. Now I can't take care of things. The empresses may feel uncomfortable!"
Shuwan thought to herself, it was more than just uncomfortable!Although palace affairs are trivial, they are power!With palace affairs in hand, it is much more convenient to do things.Now that the power is gone, who can be reconciled?
But they can only run on the princess, the emperor can't take back the palace affairs.
Wu Fujin felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not easy for the princess.
"How many things do we have to come and go in this small courtyard? I feel impatient like this, not to mention that the princess is in charge of so many things in the harem! She married the prince late, and the prince favors Fujin even more, and he treats her just to save face. She Not as loving as you and fourth brother, how can it be so easy to get pregnant?"
Wu Fujin leaned over to Shuwan and said, "Sister-in-law Si, I think my life is already very difficult, but compared with the Crown Princess, I am nothing! Sometimes when I get angry with Fifth Elder Brother, I just want to Thinking of the princess, my heart will be smooth."
Shuwan: Good guy, it turns out that your happiness is based on the pain of the princess!
In fact, Shuwan can understand Wu Fujin's mood, this is just a very sad method of spiritual victory.The suffering of the crown princess did not make Wu Fujin's life better, she just gained a little comfort through comparison.
Women who marry into the palace are like floating duckweeds. They seem to be married far away. They can't meet their loved ones even though they are right in front of them.
Fei Yanggu came to the Qianqing Gate every day to pay his respects. He was so close to his daughter, but he never saw him.
Without loved ones around, it seems that there is no support.The in-laws are a family, they are outsiders.
Shuwan is fine, she has a considerate husband, like Wu Fujin, no one takes care of her, and everyone in the palace wants to bully her.
Wu Fujin and Shuwan were feeling emotional, when the maid came in to announce that the Crown Princess had arrived.
Wu Fujin was a little flustered, it was a coincidence, they were still talking about the princess behind her back, and she came here.
When the princess entered the room, Shuwan and Wu Fujin hurriedly saluted.
After seeing the ceremony and saying hello, everyone sat down and drank tea together.
The princess smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I've been here with my fourth sibling. I've always wanted to see you, but I'm always busy, so I finally got some free time, so I came to have a look."
Shuwan hurriedly said: "Although the princess is busy, she delivers things frequently. I have received all the things you sent for pregnancy! If you often have good things for me, it's okay if you don't come!"
The princess covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh! Then I'll come here often in the future! There are not so many good things for you!"
The princess laughed happily, but she was actually in a bad mood.Concubine Hui said in the morning that she would not have children, and the four concubines were talking about things that were not as good as before. What they said was accusing her of managing the palace affairs and deliberately turning things into defective products.
What a joke!She is only in charge of the harem, so what does the purchase of things by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to do with her?Could it be that she still intercepted the good things?She is a princess, her eyelids are not so shallow!
Besides, she only has one body, can she use those things after cutting them off?
Going home at noon, the princess complained to the prince.
It stands to reason that it is normal for husband and wife to say these things.As a result, the prince dropped his chopsticks and left after hearing this. He disliked the concubine's narrow-mindedness, and only saw trivial things in his eyes.
The princess only felt a bad breath stuck in her chest, and she couldn't spit it out, or swallow it.
Trivial?Isn't life full of trivial matters?
Who can be romantic?Side Fujin?
yes!The crown princess has already taken care of all the eating, drinking, and messing around for Chu Fujin. She just needs to serve the prince well and speak according to the prince's wishes.She doesn't have to worry about anything, of course she can be romantic!
The princess was so angry that she didn't even finish her lunch. She only wanted to complain to the prince. She didn't expect the prince to stand up for her.
The crown prince just needs to say, you have worked hard, and the crown princess will be happy, continue to work hard for him, and take care of the back house for him wholeheartedly.
Thinking of everything she had done and all the grievances she had suffered was trivial, the princess felt disheartened.
The new year is approaching, and there are much more palace affairs than before, the princess is not in the mood to deal with it, so she came to Shuwan after much deliberation.
I remember that when playing mahjong that day, Shuwan was very good at hurting others, and the princess also came to learn from her.
When she learns it, even if she can't be said to be the elder concubine, can she still hate the prince?
The princess smiled and said: "There are many people in the palace who are smart-mouthed, but none of them are as witty as the fourth sibling. The fourth sibling is quick-spoken, teach us too!"
The princess said it more tactfully, but Wu Fujin was very straightforward.
"Yes, Sisao! I just want to learn from you how to quarrel with others! I'm stupid, and I always lose when I quarrel with others. When I quarrel, my mind goes blank. Sometimes I have something to say in my mind, but I can't say a word."
Wu Fujin's words hit the heart of the Crown Princess, she actually wanted to hear this too.
Shuwan smiled, Wu Fujin wanted to learn how to hate concubines and elder brothers.As for the princess, thinking about what happened in the morning, Shuwan guessed what she wanted to learn.
Just as she was about to speak, the maid came in to announce that Da Fujin had arrived.
Da Fujin is Concubine Hui's daughter-in-law, and the elder brother and the prince don't deal with it, but the relationship between the prince concubine and Da Fujin is okay.
Both of them are gentle and polite people. When they get along, they keep a distance that is neither far nor close, distant but polite.
Da Fujin saw that the Crown Princess was uncomfortable. Today, Concubine Hui gave the Crown Princess a hard time, and Da Fujin was a little embarrassed to see the Crown Princess.
Everyone greeted each other, Da Fujin smiled and said: "Did you post the post? Everyone has arrived!"
Shuwan said: "I am a teacher today, they come to learn from me, we are going to start giving lectures, do you want to listen to my sister-in-law?"
Da Fujin pointed at Shuwan and smiled, "You are so crazy, what skills do you have? Can you teach me too?"
Shuwan raised her head proudly, "I! I have a clever mouth. Anyone who listens to me will be afraid of me. Will my sister-in-law accept my ability?"
This ability was shown when Shuwan greeted her, and Da Fujin was of course convinced.
"Okay! Then I will learn from you!"
"I don't teach for nothing! When I have a baby, your gifts should be thicker!"
The princess smiled and said, "I know! Tell me quickly!"
Shuwan cleared her throat and said seriously: "Today, we will talk about the art of language! What is art? Any skill can be developed into an art! First of all, it must be proficient, and after proficiency, it must be practiced to be extraordinary and refined. , it’s almost art.”
Shuwan took a sip of water to moisten her throat, "Speaking is also important. I won't talk about how to speak to make people feel happy. I believe everyone has unique insights. Today I will mainly talk about how to debate with people gracefully. "
In layman's terms, it is how to hate people.
"During a debate, we are easily affected by our emotions. The other party makes us angry and excited. Our brains and mouths seem to be separated. Either we can't speak, or we can't choose what to say.
Therefore, the most important point in the debate is not to be angry, but to be calm.My heart is calm, and I can speak calmly.
The second point is to poke people's pain points. If Backyard Gege dares to talk back, don't speak harshly.We are Prince Fujin, people of status, you just need to say one thing, don't talk anymore, your ugliness irritated my eyes, make sure they shut up immediately! "
Wu Fujin was stunned. She clenched her fists and muttered, as if she was reciting the key points.
The princess laughed and said, "Siblings are full of witty words, how can being ugly irritate your eyes?"
Da Fujin also laughed, "I can't think of such a wisecrack, it's not practical for you to teach it, I don't have the quick wit, I can't think of it!"
The Crown Princess and Da Fujin are both in the state of casual listening, Wu Fujin is different from them, she is completely in the state of sprinting for the college entrance examination, she can't wait to take notes, write down all Shuwan's words and paste them on the wall, and recite them every day.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I can't think of so many witty words, what should I do?"
Shuwan patiently instructed Wu Fujin, who is eager to learn, "This depends on the usual accumulation. When two people quarrel, of course they can't think of anything interesting. You can think of a sentence every day, write it down, and then recite it over and over again. When there is a quarrel, you don't have to think too much, and the golden sentence comes out."
Wu Fujin's eyes lit up. At this moment, Shuwan was her life mentor and guiding light in her eyes.
"Thank you Sisao! I've realized it!"
"Of course, this method also has a shortcoming. The golden sentence is too firmly remembered, and sometimes it is easy to offend people by blurting it out regardless of the occasion!"
Wu Fujin nodded vigorously, "Don't worry Sisao, I will take care of it!"
The Crown Princess and Da Fujin drank tea with a smile. They looked hard to learn, but they were actually thinking about golden sentences in their hearts.
Afterwards, Shuwan shared some tips with them. The sisters-in-law had a good time getting along, and they felt that they had gained a lot when they returned.
After dismissing the Crown Princess and the others, Shuwan chatted about serious matters with Nanny Ning.
"The fourth elder brother will leave after the next year. I want to prepare some things for him. We can't go out to buy things in the palace, and the things in the order are not enough. Is there any way for the nanny?"
Nanny Ning asked, "What does Fujin want?"
"I want wool, beef, and milk." Shuwan thought for a while and then said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be these, ready-made dry cheese, spun wool thread, and ready-made beef jerky."
Nanny Ning frowned, "Hey, I'm afraid you can't buy ready-made ones. Dried cheese and beef jerky are usually eaten by Mongolians. The Queen Mother likes these, and banner people rarely eat them. These things are not buns. There are very few people here, so there is no special seller for this, and it can’t be sold if it is made!”
People who eat these are all made by themselves, and a little is enough to eat.
Shuwan asked, "Where's the wool thread?"
"Hmm... there should be some wool thread, this can be used to weave carpets. What does Fujin buy this for?"
Shuwan lowered her head and studied the carpet under her feet. It was made of felt, and the material seemed rough.
"I want a softer wool thread of uniform thickness to weave something for the fourth elder brother. Dried meat and cheese are also prepared for the fourth elder brother. I heard that when I went to the expedition, I was not able to eat every day, sometimes a day I can only eat one meal, I'm afraid my brother will be hungry."
Milk jerky and beef jerky are not easy to deteriorate, and they can also resist hunger. The fourth elder brother puts some in his purse every day, and sneaks out to eat a piece when he is hungry. It is better than starving.
Nanny Ning smiled with satisfaction, Fujin finally looked a little virtuous and virtuous.
"It turns out that you prepared these things for the fourth elder brother. This servant went out to inquire about it. I think, if you give some money to the purchasing eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they will definitely be able to get these things!"
"My mother knows where my money is, go and get it! As long as the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare the things, it doesn't matter how much money is in it."
Nanny Ning took the money and went. After all, she is an old nanny with a wide network of contacts.The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't buy ready-made dried meat and cheese, but they told Shuwan that they would find someone to make it, and it would definitely be ready before the fourth elder brother set off. The food must be fresh and delicious.
The woolen thread was also brought, which is said to be freshly spun. According to Shuwan's request, it is thin and soft, and it does not prick your hands at all.
Shuwan raised her mouth and said that she wanted some slender sticks. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a large bundle of thin wooden sticks, which were extremely smooth without any burrs.
Shuwan and Nanny Ning praised them for their ability to handle affairs.
"Look, things are prepared quickly and well. Whoops, I just found out that the wool is dyed in different colors!"
Nurse Ning smiled and said: "Fu Jin! You are like a boy who spreads money, you gave so much money, how can they not be dedicated? There are not many generous customers like you!"
Shuwan: You mean I've been taken advantage of?
Nurse Ning said again: "Besides, there are not many chances to climb Fujin. In the future, the fourth elder brother will go out of the palace to build a mansion. It will be a good job to go to the fourth elder brother's mansion in the future if he has a relationship with you."
Shuwan shook her head, "Okay, don't worry about them, I'll think about how to weave first."
Shuwan hasn't knit for a long time, so she forgot how she started.
Several court ladies had never seen this before, so they gathered around Shuwan to see how she did it.
"It seems to be put on like this?" Shuwan whispered.
Bingxiang took a wooden stick and a ball of thread.
"Fu Jin, I think it should be like this." After speaking, her fingers fluttered and she put the wool on the wooden stick, which was exactly the effect Shuwan wanted.
Shuwan: ...Which one of us can knit?
"Yes, that's it. I want to divide this into four and make it a circle."
Shuwan knitted a few stitches, and Bingxiang understood it with just a few glances.
Not only her, Chun'er and the others also understood, only Shuwan is still confused!
Shuwan: It turns out that I am the stupidest one, and I have already begun to doubt the identity of the time-travel heroine.
Shuwan wanted to knit a glove for the fourth elder brother. It was still cold when she set out after the year, so her hands must be cold while riding a horse and holding the rein.
Although cotton gloves keep warm, they only need one slap and are not as flexible as woolen gloves.She wanted to knit a pair of five-fingered gloves, which would be more convenient.
To weave gloves, you need to knit fingers. You need to add a few stitches in a while, and you need to subtract a few stitches in a while. Finally, you need to stitch the edges, which is very troublesome.
Shuwan is not proficient at weaving this, but fortunately Xia Er and the others are skillful, and everyone researched it together, and finally weaved a finished product.
This pair of ugly gloves was woven according to Shuwan's size, and after the weaving, Shuwan put it on her hands and moved around a bit.
"It's almost like this, have you all learned it? Who can weave better? Weave a pair for the fourth elder brother."
Nurse Ning said disapprovingly: "Fu Jin, you came up with this painstakingly, you should weave it!"
Qiuxiang also smiled and said, "Yes, Fujin! The gloves you wove represent your tenderness!"
After speaking, Chun'er and the others laughed together.
Shuwan scolded: "You little hoof! How dare you make fun of me!"
Nanny Ning persuaded her with a smile, "Qiuxiang's words are reasonable. The fourth elder brother puts the gloves you knitted on his hands, and every time he looks down at his hands, he will think of you."
Shuwan rolled her eyes, "I really want to knit! Look at my handicraft, this one is loose, that one is tight, such an ugly glove, wouldn't it be embarrassing for fourth elder brother to wear it?"
Bingxiang yelled: "Sentient beings can fill the drinking water! The fourth elder brother saw the gloves and forgot everything, how can they be beautiful and ugly!"
Everyone laughed again, and Shuwan was so angry that she grabbed a ball of wool and threw it on her.
"Smelly girl, see if I won't beat you today!"
Nanny Ning smiled and persuaded Shuwan to calm down, don't stretch her.
"Fu Jin, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or ugly, it's all about your heart. You should weave something."
Shuwan sighed: "Okay! I see, I don't knit gloves, I'll knit a sweater for brother."
Most of the sweaters are made of plain stitches, which is very simple. As for the cuffs and necklines, let Qiuxiang and the others help.Anyway, the sweater is worn inside and cannot be seen outside.
Just being inspired by Nanny Ning, Shuwan thought of another good idea.
She sent Chun'er and others out, leaving Nanny Ning alone to talk.
"It stands to reason that all good things should be dedicated to the emperor. I won't show off this time. Mommy will go to the Yonghe Palace, take thread and needles, and teach the concubine De to knit gloves."
After thinking about it, Nanny Ning understood that Shuwan wanted to sell her to Concubine De.
"Fu Jin's idea is good, and Empress Defei must be happy."
Shuwan smiled smugly, it wasn't that she wanted to please Concubine De.The imperial concubine knits gloves for the emperor with tenderness and sweetness, right?Usually she is so fierce, she is a little woman in front of the emperor.It feels like watching a mother-in-law's joke, which is inexplicably cool.
Shuwan said to Nanny Ning seriously: "Gloves are not a good thing, but I'm doing it for my mother!"
There is no such thing as watching the excitement!
Nurse Ning said emotionally: "I understand Fujin's filial piety! At this time, the concubine De should be free, slave
He soaked the cloth towel and wrung it dry, then pressed the cloth towel on Shuwan's face with his big hands and rubbed it.
"Hmm..." Shuwan tilted her head back and started to push the fourth elder brother, "You're murdering your own wife!"
The fourth elder brother soaked the cloth again, and this time wiped his face lightly.
"Squeamish, I didn't try hard at all."
Shuwan yelled: "My good fellow! You're already like this if you don't try hard! If you tried hard, you'd wipe my face off. My lord, you're washing your face, not your horse's ass!"
Has anyone made a comparison like this?The fourth elder brother supported his waist, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.
He wiped it twice and felt that it was almost done, so he raised his hand and threw the cloth into the basin.
The fourth elder brother held Shuwan's face, "Let me see, have you wiped your face clean?"
Shuwan obediently raised her head to let him see, maybe because she cried just now, Shuwan's eyes became clearer.She looked at the fourth elder brother innocently, and the fourth elder brother felt his heart beat a few times.
He coughed and deliberately teased Shuwan, "Well, it's clean, but it's also ugly from crying."
Shuwan was so angry that she thumped him, "I didn't cry until I became ugly! It was you who disfigured me!"
The angrier Shuwan gets, the more Brother Si wants to laugh, it's so much fun teasing her.
"Aren't you satisfied?" Fourth elder brother said with a stern face, "Go out and find out, whose man washes a woman's face?"
Shuwan thought to herself, with your method, I still don't want to let you rub it!
She flattened her mouth, "Okay! Thank you brother for wiping my face, to express my gratitude..."
Shuwan raised her hand, "I allow you to kiss my fingers!"
The fourth elder brother was so angry that he grabbed Shuwan's hand and bit it hard.
I'm getting used to you, I'm getting fatter and bolder!
In the evening, the fourth elder brother and Shuwan went to bed after washing, but Shuwan insisted that the fourth elder brother sleep with her in his arms.
The fourth elder brother held her in his arms and let her rest on his shoulders, "Being more and more squeamish!"
"It's not that I'm squeamish, it's that I understand you very well! You just like me very much, and you just want to hug me. I'm afraid you will be embarrassed to say so, so I specially give you this opportunity!"
"Crap!"
Shuwan asked him, "You won't be in danger when you go out to fight, right?"
The fourth elder brother advised her to feel at ease, "We follow Huang Ama, how could something happen?"
When going on an expedition, the emperor's side is the safest.
Da Fujin and Wu Fujin also said the same thing, but Shuwan felt relieved only when she heard the fourth elder brother say it herself.
"Today I went to my sister-in-law and asked her what she packed for my elder brother before."
The fourth elder brother suddenly realized, no wonder Shuwan came back so late today.
"Let Su Peisheng prepare the luggage and items, you don't have to worry about it."
Shuwan sighed: "How can I not worry? The weather will still be cold after the next year! The further north the weather gets colder, and I heard that when the flowers in the capital are blooming, the grassland will still snow! I need to prepare a few more sets for you." Clothes, I don’t know how long this battle will last, and I have to prepare some thin clothes for you.”
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "There is no need to prepare thin clothes, you have to dress lightly when fighting, and you will be reprimanded by Huang Ama if you bring so many things. When the weather is warmer, just send people to the grassland."
"Huh? Can you still send something?"
"Look at what you asked. We are going to fight, not to live in seclusion. Huang Ama and the prince need to communicate frequently and handle government affairs. When the season changes, someone will come to pick up the clothes. You can put the letter in the clothes and send it over. Don't worry, we princes will neither be hungry nor cold."
When the fourth elder brother said this, Shuwan felt more at ease.
"Just write to me and tell me what you lack, and I'll find a way to get it for you."
The fourth elder brother put his arms around Shuwan, laughing at her naivety.Although they live in the palace, they do not lack food and drink, but they have a lot of food and clothing, and they are not as free as outside the palace. What can she get?
Shuwan said again: "Starting tomorrow, I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
The fourth elder brother frowned, "The Queen Mother and Er Niang have already excused you from paying your respects, so don't go."
"No! Today I went out to find my sister-in-law. Since I can visit my sister-in-law, there is no reason why I can't greet my elders. If I don't go, I'm afraid I will be criticized."
The fourth elder brother was reluctant to let Shuwan go out, it was cold and slippery outside, she went out early in the morning, and sat with her for a long time, how tired she was!
"I don't want to express my filial piety at this moment. Although you haven't gone to pay your respects these days, you often send things to Yonghe Palace. Erniang doesn't say anything, but she must remember it in her heart. She won't blame you."
Shuwan said in her heart: Hehe, Concubine De is your own mother, so of course she is true, kind and beautiful in your eyes!
"Emiang doesn't blame me, but other people will talk about me. Just let me pay my respects! Didn't the imperial doctor say that too! My health is fine, and my fetus is stable. When I go out to pay my respects, I should just relax and stay there every day." It's very boring at home."
The fourth elder brother couldn't resist her, "Okay! You can go if you want!"
Shuwan smiled happily, she turned her head to look at the fourth elder brother, "You are so kind, let me give you another reward!"
The fourth elder brother looked at her with a half-smile, "What reward? Kiss your finger?"
"No! I have many tricks in my beauty, let's change one!"
With a smirk, Shuwan reached out and slid her hand into his lower garment, covering the fourth elder brother's abdominal muscles.
"The reward is love and stroking! I will rub your belly and lull you to sleep!"
The fourth elder brother bowed his head, the quilt was tightly covered, he couldn't see the little hand that was making trouble.
Ever since he strengthened his exercise, Shuwan has fallen in love with his stomach, and has to touch it twice from time to time.
The fourth elder brother took out her hand with a cold face, "Is this a reward for me or for yourself? Don't make trouble, sleep."
Shuwan: Humph!mean!
The next day, Shuwan and the fourth elder brother got up to wash up together. After breakfast, the fourth elder brother called all the eunuchs and maids who were serving Shuwan, told them to take good care of Fujin, and checked Shuwan's sedan chair before going out. go to school.
Shuwan complained about his mother-in-law, but she was very sweet in her heart. Not all men are so careful.
Arriving at the Yonghe Palace in a sedan chair, the Empress Defei quickly ordered someone to bring water and snacks, and even spread two layers of cushions on Shuwan's chair.
She is indeed very enthusiastic in action, but her words are not very nice.
Concubine De smiled softly, "I haven't seen you since you were pregnant. Why did you remember to say hello today? I thought I would not see you again until you were confinement."
She accused Shuwan of not paying attention to her inside and outside the words, and deliberately did not come to pay her respects because she was pregnant.
Shuwan took a deep breath, her mind was full of Zaan words.
Please, please, please, fart, please be safe and you will be safe?Can you live forever?I think you can't be safe if you don't find faults every day.
She swallowed back Zaun's words that rushed into her throat, she was pregnant and was going to be a mother soon, so she couldn't just tease others.She wants to be a gentle and firm mother and set a good example for her children.
Shuwan cheered herself up in her heart, come on!Shu Xiaokui!You don't have to hate people!
"Emiang is considerate of our juniors, so she spared me my greetings. You took good care of me, but I have to be sensible. The imperial doctor said that my fetus has stabilized, so I came to pay my respects again."
Concubine De smiled and said: "Really? Don't have any troubles again. You are a double body now, so delicate! Others can't afford it!"
"It's all right now, except... some nausea, easy to sleep, no oily smell, no tea, no fatigue, no anger, everything else is fine."
Concubine De curled her lips and sneered, so many people have had children, but she is delicate and has many things to do.
"I'll figure it out, you're going to be pregnant this month!"
"That's right! The imperial doctor said that the stomach will be swollen after the Chinese New Year."
Concubine De put on a good-for-you expression, "Now that your pregnancy is stable and your stomach is getting bigger, it's time for you to think about it."
Shuwan probably guessed what Concubine De was going to say, but she pretended not to understand.
"Er Niang means...packing the luggage for the fourth elder brother? I'm already preparing for this. I went to ask my sister-in-law for advice yesterday."
Concubine De frowned displeasedly, "I didn't mean that! Before your pregnancy was unstable, I was afraid that you would be overwhelmed, so I didn't mention you. Now you say that your health is fine, so I'll just say it. You should also tell Si Ah Brother arranged for two princesses."
Shuwan picked her fingernails vigorously, "This...is it my daughter-in-law's fault. A few days ago, our yard was non-stop, I really forgot about it."
Concubine De said meaningfully: "It's best to really forget! You, you don't care about Si elder brother's affairs at all! You can't serve elder brother, you have to arrange two people who know cold and heat for fourth elder brother. You You're a pregnant woman, so what's the matter with always occupying elder brother? Others will laugh at you if they find out."
Shuwan endured and endured, and finally forced a smile.
"Er Niang is right, I will discuss it with the fourth elder brother when I go back."
Hearing Shuwan's assurance, Concubine De felt much relieved.
"It's almost time, let's go! Go to Ningshou Palace!"
When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, because Shuwan hadn't come for a long time, she naturally received a lot of attention.
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "I heard that Si Fujin went to visit Da Fujin yesterday? No wonder! I came here today to say hello."
Concubine Yi rubbed her hands secretly, implying that Shuwan disrespected the Queen Mother, if she hadn't gone out to show her secrets, she would still be pretending to be weak at home!
Shuwan smiled and said: "Isn't Madam Yi a clairvoyant? My story has reached your ears so quickly."
Shuwan knelt down to salute the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I am in good health now, and I am here to greet you. My grandson-in-law is not filial. She hid at home for so long before coming out to see you."
The queen mother was very happy when she saw Shuwan, "Get up, get up! You are heavy, don't squat down! Come here and let me see!"
The queen mother asked Shuwan to come to her eyes, "Oh! You have lost weight and haggarded, I think you should stay at home!"
Shuwan touched her face, she has been well raised recently, neither fat nor thin.The haggard face may be because she didn't wear powder or makeup today.
The queen mother is the legendary straight daughter of steel!She couldn't see the difference between makeup and plain makeup, she just felt that Shuwan was haggard.
Shuwan smiled and said: "I think I'm pretty good, the queen mother loves me, so I look haggard."
The Queen Mother shook her head in disapproval, "It's true that you've become darker and thinner, you didn't look like this before!"
Shuwan doubts herself a little, is there such a big difference between my makeup and plain makeup?
After chatting with the Queen Mother, Shuwan sat down behind Concubine De.
Sanfujin glanced at Shuwan, and turned her head angrily.Up to now, the third elder brother has not forgiven her, and her mother-in-law Concubine Rong doesn't care about her as much as before.Why did Sifu Jin come to pay his respects?How nice it is for her to stay at home for the rest of her life!
What happens when a group of women, a group of women competing for the same man, sit together?
Of course it's war!
Fortunately, the palace rules are strict, and the emperor is a master of Duan Shui, so the women in the harem did not fight.
It's just that the queen mother has a good temper and the language barrier, these women will inevitably be eccentric when they get together.
Shuwan sat obediently, listening to her mother-in-law arguing with others.
Everyone quarreled for a while, and the topic turned to Shuwan.
Concubine Hui asked Shuwan: "Si Fujin married in less than half a year, right?"
Shuwan hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes! You have a really good memory."
Concubine Hui smiled, "It's not that I have a good memory. The Crown Princess married in June. Chinese New Year is coming soon, so if you do the math, it will be half a year. You married in after the Crown Princess, so naturally it will be less than half a year."
Concubine Hui said to the concubine in a joking tone: "The concubine entered the door earlier than Fujin! You are inferior to Fujin!"
The princess's face froze, she held the arm of the chair, her knuckles turned white.
"Concubine Hui, don't make fun of me, I'm even embarrassed to say that."
Concubine Hui made a gesture of concern, "Why is this a joke? Getting married and having a son is a matter of course. Don't you want to give birth to a son for the crown prince as soon as possible?"
The palace maid translated Concubine Hui's words, and the empress dowager agreed after understanding it.
"That's right! Concubine Hui is right, the princess should hurry up!"
The face of the crown princess turned pale. She is a crown princess with a noble status.Discussing her childbirth in front of concubines, big and small, made her feel embarrassed and humiliated.But Concubine Hui is a concubine, considered an elder, she can't get angry, otherwise she will be domineering.
The princess could only smile at the queen mother, saying that what the queen mother said was right.
Shuwan sympathizes with the princess, but in this case, there is nothing she can do.
After the greeting time, the princess did not say a word.Concubine Hui, who had always been quiet, became a talking point.
For a while, they said that the charcoal fire this year was not good, and the smoke was heavy, and for a while, they said that the clothes brought in this year were of worse quality than last year.
Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi agreed repeatedly, and Concubine De followed suit.
The relationship between these few people is mediocre, and they talked very speculatively today.
After the greetings were over, Concubine De told Shuwan to go back directly, since she had been with her for so long, it was time to go back and rest.
Shuwan is indeed very tired. On days when she doesn't need to greet her, she can lie down and sit when she wants.Come out today to say hello, she has to sit with her legs crossed all the time, with a faint smile on her face, and always beware of harsh questions thrown by others.
Not only the body is tired, but the heart is also tired.
Back at elder brother's place, Shuwan removed her hair, changed her clothes and went to bed, even missed lunch.
When she woke up, Nanny Ning ordered someone to cook the noodles.
"You slept soundly, and the servant didn't dare to disturb you. The lunch was cold. The servant thought that the lunch would taste bad if it was reheated. So I asked the dining room to knead the noodles, boil another pot of chicken soup, and put all the oil in it." Clean it up. When you wake up, cook a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup and eat it with sour radish."
Shuwan asked Chun'er to pull her hair, "Hey, I don't like chicken soup at all, but let me tell you this, I think this chicken noodle soup must be delicious."
Nurse Ning happily said: "Just wait a moment, the chicken noodle soup will be ready soon."
Xia'er and Qiuxiang brought up the noodles and a table of side dishes.
Shuwan took a piece of sour radish and put it in her mouth. It tasted very sour and smelled like sesame oil after chewing.
Shuwan took another sip of the noodle soup, the chicken soup was delicious without any oily or fishy smell, it was really good.
"It's good to eat something as simple as this. Some cooks have to put a lot of seasonings when mixing a side dish. Even the oil is fried with various spices. It's boring to eat!"
Bingxiang complained to her, "Si elder brother likes light food. What did Fujin say when he first married? It's tasteless, and the cook doesn't even want to put in the seasoning. Could it be that he bought the seasoning with his monthly bill?"
Everyone laughed, Shuwan slapped the table to pretend to be angry.
"Okay! Dare to expose my old story, your monthly schedule for this month is gone, and Nurse Ning is going to buy seasonings!"
Bingxiang hurriedly laughed and said: "Fu Jin spared the servant, and the servant knew it was wrong. After thinking about it, the food is still delicious!"
Everyone laughed together, and the little maid came in to announce that Wufu Jin had arrived.
Qiu Xiang and others rushed to greet him, Wu Fujin entered the room and saw that the table was full, his face blushed instantly.
"I came at an untimely time, and disturbed my fourth sister-in-law for dinner."
Shuwan beckoned her to sit down, "It's not your problem, it's the wrong time for me to eat. I tend to get sleepy recently, I don't know when I get sleepy, and I always don't get enough sleep. Please come back and I will sleep until Now."
Shuwan ordered someone to fetch another pair of bowls and chopsticks, "Sister and brother, you can eat with me too."
Wu Fujin waved her hands again and again to say that she had eaten, and Bingxiang filled her with noodles.Seeing how delicious Shuwan's food was, Wu Fujin couldn't help eating it, and finished a bowl of noodles in a while.
After eating, the maid served Wu Fujin to wipe his mouth and rinse his mouth.Wu Fujin looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and his face blushed again.
Shuwan pretended not to see her blushing, she picked up a random topic and chatted with her about the princess.
"This morning, I saw the embarrassment of the princess, and I was worried for her."
Wu Fujin couldn't care less about being shy, and she also echoed: "Yes! I'm one generation lower, and I can't even speak hard."
"Concubine Hui usually doesn't like to talk, why are you competing with the concubine today?"
Wu Fujin sighed: "The fourth sister-in-law didn't come to pay her respects a few days ago, so the news is not well-informed. A few days ago, the emperor handed over the power of managing the harem to the princess."
Shuwan was surprised, but she could understand the emperor's choice after thinking about it carefully.
There is no queen in the palace, and the four concubines are all concubines. In the past, it was fine if the princess did not enter the house. Now that the prince has married in, of course the noble daughter-in-law has to be the housekeeper.
Wu Fujin went on to say: "In the past, the four concubines were in charge of the palace affairs together. You take care of a little, and I take care of a little. Now I can't take care of things. The empresses may feel uncomfortable!"
Shuwan thought to herself, it was more than just uncomfortable!Although palace affairs are trivial, they are power!With palace affairs in hand, it is much more convenient to do things.Now that the power is gone, who can be reconciled?
But they can only run on the princess, the emperor can't take back the palace affairs.
Wu Fujin felt from the bottom of his heart that it was not easy for the princess.
"How many things do we have to come and go in this small courtyard? I feel impatient like this, not to mention that the princess is in charge of so many things in the harem! She married the prince late, and the prince favors Fujin even more, and he treats her just to save face. She Not as loving as you and fourth brother, how can it be so easy to get pregnant?"
Wu Fujin leaned over to Shuwan and said, "Sister-in-law Si, I think my life is already very difficult, but compared with the Crown Princess, I am nothing! Sometimes when I get angry with Fifth Elder Brother, I just want to Thinking of the princess, my heart will be smooth."
Shuwan: Good guy, it turns out that your happiness is based on the pain of the princess!
In fact, Shuwan can understand Wu Fujin's mood, this is just a very sad method of spiritual victory.The suffering of the crown princess did not make Wu Fujin's life better, she just gained a little comfort through comparison.
Women who marry into the palace are like floating duckweeds. They seem to be married far away. They can't meet their loved ones even though they are right in front of them.
Fei Yanggu came to the Qianqing Gate every day to pay his respects. He was so close to his daughter, but he never saw him.
Without loved ones around, it seems that there is no support.The in-laws are a family, they are outsiders.
Shuwan is fine, she has a considerate husband, like Wu Fujin, no one takes care of her, and everyone in the palace wants to bully her.
Wu Fujin and Shuwan were feeling emotional, when the maid came in to announce that the Crown Princess had arrived.
Wu Fujin was a little flustered, it was a coincidence, they were still talking about the princess behind her back, and she came here.
When the princess entered the room, Shuwan and Wu Fujin hurriedly saluted.
After seeing the ceremony and saying hello, everyone sat down and drank tea together.
The princess smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I've been here with my fourth sibling. I've always wanted to see you, but I'm always busy, so I finally got some free time, so I came to have a look."
Shuwan hurriedly said: "Although the princess is busy, she delivers things frequently. I have received all the things you sent for pregnancy! If you often have good things for me, it's okay if you don't come!"
The princess covered her mouth and smiled, "Oh! Then I'll come here often in the future! There are not so many good things for you!"
The princess laughed happily, but she was actually in a bad mood.Concubine Hui said in the morning that she would not have children, and the four concubines were talking about things that were not as good as before. What they said was accusing her of managing the palace affairs and deliberately turning things into defective products.
What a joke!She is only in charge of the harem, so what does the purchase of things by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to do with her?Could it be that she still intercepted the good things?She is a princess, her eyelids are not so shallow!
Besides, she only has one body, can she use those things after cutting them off?
Going home at noon, the princess complained to the prince.
It stands to reason that it is normal for husband and wife to say these things.As a result, the prince dropped his chopsticks and left after hearing this. He disliked the concubine's narrow-mindedness, and only saw trivial things in his eyes.
The princess only felt a bad breath stuck in her chest, and she couldn't spit it out, or swallow it.
Trivial?Isn't life full of trivial matters?
Who can be romantic?Side Fujin?
yes!The crown princess has already taken care of all the eating, drinking, and messing around for Chu Fujin. She just needs to serve the prince well and speak according to the prince's wishes.She doesn't have to worry about anything, of course she can be romantic!
The princess was so angry that she didn't even finish her lunch. She only wanted to complain to the prince. She didn't expect the prince to stand up for her.
The crown prince just needs to say, you have worked hard, and the crown princess will be happy, continue to work hard for him, and take care of the back house for him wholeheartedly.
Thinking of everything she had done and all the grievances she had suffered was trivial, the princess felt disheartened.
The new year is approaching, and there are much more palace affairs than before, the princess is not in the mood to deal with it, so she came to Shuwan after much deliberation.
I remember that when playing mahjong that day, Shuwan was very good at hurting others, and the princess also came to learn from her.
When she learns it, even if she can't be said to be the elder concubine, can she still hate the prince?
The princess smiled and said: "There are many people in the palace who are smart-mouthed, but none of them are as witty as the fourth sibling. The fourth sibling is quick-spoken, teach us too!"
The princess said it more tactfully, but Wu Fujin was very straightforward.
"Yes, Sisao! I just want to learn from you how to quarrel with others! I'm stupid, and I always lose when I quarrel with others. When I quarrel, my mind goes blank. Sometimes I have something to say in my mind, but I can't say a word."
Wu Fujin's words hit the heart of the Crown Princess, she actually wanted to hear this too.
Shuwan smiled, Wu Fujin wanted to learn how to hate concubines and elder brothers.As for the princess, thinking about what happened in the morning, Shuwan guessed what she wanted to learn.
Just as she was about to speak, the maid came in to announce that Da Fujin had arrived.
Da Fujin is Concubine Hui's daughter-in-law, and the elder brother and the prince don't deal with it, but the relationship between the prince concubine and Da Fujin is okay.
Both of them are gentle and polite people. When they get along, they keep a distance that is neither far nor close, distant but polite.
Da Fujin saw that the Crown Princess was uncomfortable. Today, Concubine Hui gave the Crown Princess a hard time, and Da Fujin was a little embarrassed to see the Crown Princess.
Everyone greeted each other, Da Fujin smiled and said: "Did you post the post? Everyone has arrived!"
Shuwan said: "I am a teacher today, they come to learn from me, we are going to start giving lectures, do you want to listen to my sister-in-law?"
Da Fujin pointed at Shuwan and smiled, "You are so crazy, what skills do you have? Can you teach me too?"
Shuwan raised her head proudly, "I! I have a clever mouth. Anyone who listens to me will be afraid of me. Will my sister-in-law accept my ability?"
This ability was shown when Shuwan greeted her, and Da Fujin was of course convinced.
"Okay! Then I will learn from you!"
"I don't teach for nothing! When I have a baby, your gifts should be thicker!"
The princess smiled and said, "I know! Tell me quickly!"
Shuwan cleared her throat and said seriously: "Today, we will talk about the art of language! What is art? Any skill can be developed into an art! First of all, it must be proficient, and after proficiency, it must be practiced to be extraordinary and refined. , it’s almost art.”
Shuwan took a sip of water to moisten her throat, "Speaking is also important. I won't talk about how to speak to make people feel happy. I believe everyone has unique insights. Today I will mainly talk about how to debate with people gracefully. "
In layman's terms, it is how to hate people.
"During a debate, we are easily affected by our emotions. The other party makes us angry and excited. Our brains and mouths seem to be separated. Either we can't speak, or we can't choose what to say.
Therefore, the most important point in the debate is not to be angry, but to be calm.My heart is calm, and I can speak calmly.
The second point is to poke people's pain points. If Backyard Gege dares to talk back, don't speak harshly.We are Prince Fujin, people of status, you just need to say one thing, don't talk anymore, your ugliness irritated my eyes, make sure they shut up immediately! "
Wu Fujin was stunned. She clenched her fists and muttered, as if she was reciting the key points.
The princess laughed and said, "Siblings are full of witty words, how can being ugly irritate your eyes?"
Da Fujin also laughed, "I can't think of such a wisecrack, it's not practical for you to teach it, I don't have the quick wit, I can't think of it!"
The Crown Princess and Da Fujin are both in the state of casual listening, Wu Fujin is different from them, she is completely in the state of sprinting for the college entrance examination, she can't wait to take notes, write down all Shuwan's words and paste them on the wall, and recite them every day.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I can't think of so many witty words, what should I do?"
Shuwan patiently instructed Wu Fujin, who is eager to learn, "This depends on the usual accumulation. When two people quarrel, of course they can't think of anything interesting. You can think of a sentence every day, write it down, and then recite it over and over again. When there is a quarrel, you don't have to think too much, and the golden sentence comes out."
Wu Fujin's eyes lit up. At this moment, Shuwan was her life mentor and guiding light in her eyes.
"Thank you Sisao! I've realized it!"
"Of course, this method also has a shortcoming. The golden sentence is too firmly remembered, and sometimes it is easy to offend people by blurting it out regardless of the occasion!"
Wu Fujin nodded vigorously, "Don't worry Sisao, I will take care of it!"
The Crown Princess and Da Fujin drank tea with a smile. They looked hard to learn, but they were actually thinking about golden sentences in their hearts.
Afterwards, Shuwan shared some tips with them. The sisters-in-law had a good time getting along, and they felt that they had gained a lot when they returned.
After dismissing the Crown Princess and the others, Shuwan chatted about serious matters with Nanny Ning.
"The fourth elder brother will leave after the next year. I want to prepare some things for him. We can't go out to buy things in the palace, and the things in the order are not enough. Is there any way for the nanny?"
Nanny Ning asked, "What does Fujin want?"
"I want wool, beef, and milk." Shuwan thought for a while and then said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be these, ready-made dry cheese, spun wool thread, and ready-made beef jerky."
Nanny Ning frowned, "Hey, I'm afraid you can't buy ready-made ones. Dried cheese and beef jerky are usually eaten by Mongolians. The Queen Mother likes these, and banner people rarely eat them. These things are not buns. There are very few people here, so there is no special seller for this, and it can’t be sold if it is made!”
People who eat these are all made by themselves, and a little is enough to eat.
Shuwan asked, "Where's the wool thread?"
"Hmm... there should be some wool thread, this can be used to weave carpets. What does Fujin buy this for?"
Shuwan lowered her head and studied the carpet under her feet. It was made of felt, and the material seemed rough.
"I want a softer wool thread of uniform thickness to weave something for the fourth elder brother. Dried meat and cheese are also prepared for the fourth elder brother. I heard that when I went to the expedition, I was not able to eat every day, sometimes a day I can only eat one meal, I'm afraid my brother will be hungry."
Milk jerky and beef jerky are not easy to deteriorate, and they can also resist hunger. The fourth elder brother puts some in his purse every day, and sneaks out to eat a piece when he is hungry. It is better than starving.
Nanny Ning smiled with satisfaction, Fujin finally looked a little virtuous and virtuous.
"It turns out that you prepared these things for the fourth elder brother. This servant went out to inquire about it. I think, if you give some money to the purchasing eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they will definitely be able to get these things!"
"My mother knows where my money is, go and get it! As long as the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare the things, it doesn't matter how much money is in it."
Nanny Ning took the money and went. After all, she is an old nanny with a wide network of contacts.The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't buy ready-made dried meat and cheese, but they told Shuwan that they would find someone to make it, and it would definitely be ready before the fourth elder brother set off. The food must be fresh and delicious.
The woolen thread was also brought, which is said to be freshly spun. According to Shuwan's request, it is thin and soft, and it does not prick your hands at all.
Shuwan raised her mouth and said that she wanted some slender sticks. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a large bundle of thin wooden sticks, which were extremely smooth without any burrs.
Shuwan and Nanny Ning praised them for their ability to handle affairs.
"Look, things are prepared quickly and well. Whoops, I just found out that the wool is dyed in different colors!"
Nurse Ning smiled and said: "Fu Jin! You are like a boy who spreads money, you gave so much money, how can they not be dedicated? There are not many generous customers like you!"
Shuwan: You mean I've been taken advantage of?
Nurse Ning said again: "Besides, there are not many chances to climb Fujin. In the future, the fourth elder brother will go out of the palace to build a mansion. It will be a good job to go to the fourth elder brother's mansion in the future if he has a relationship with you."
Shuwan shook her head, "Okay, don't worry about them, I'll think about how to weave first."
Shuwan hasn't knit for a long time, so she forgot how she started.
Several court ladies had never seen this before, so they gathered around Shuwan to see how she did it.
"It seems to be put on like this?" Shuwan whispered.
Bingxiang took a wooden stick and a ball of thread.
"Fu Jin, I think it should be like this." After speaking, her fingers fluttered and she put the wool on the wooden stick, which was exactly the effect Shuwan wanted.
Shuwan: ...Which one of us can knit?
"Yes, that's it. I want to divide this into four and make it a circle."
Shuwan knitted a few stitches, and Bingxiang understood it with just a few glances.
Not only her, Chun'er and the others also understood, only Shuwan is still confused!
Shuwan: It turns out that I am the stupidest one, and I have already begun to doubt the identity of the time-travel heroine.
Shuwan wanted to knit a glove for the fourth elder brother. It was still cold when she set out after the year, so her hands must be cold while riding a horse and holding the rein.
Although cotton gloves keep warm, they only need one slap and are not as flexible as woolen gloves.She wanted to knit a pair of five-fingered gloves, which would be more convenient.
To weave gloves, you need to knit fingers. You need to add a few stitches in a while, and you need to subtract a few stitches in a while. Finally, you need to stitch the edges, which is very troublesome.
Shuwan is not proficient at weaving this, but fortunately Xia Er and the others are skillful, and everyone researched it together, and finally weaved a finished product.
This pair of ugly gloves was woven according to Shuwan's size, and after the weaving, Shuwan put it on her hands and moved around a bit.
"It's almost like this, have you all learned it? Who can weave better? Weave a pair for the fourth elder brother."
Nurse Ning said disapprovingly: "Fu Jin, you came up with this painstakingly, you should weave it!"
Qiuxiang also smiled and said, "Yes, Fujin! The gloves you wove represent your tenderness!"
After speaking, Chun'er and the others laughed together.
Shuwan scolded: "You little hoof! How dare you make fun of me!"
Nanny Ning persuaded her with a smile, "Qiuxiang's words are reasonable. The fourth elder brother puts the gloves you knitted on his hands, and every time he looks down at his hands, he will think of you."
Shuwan rolled her eyes, "I really want to knit! Look at my handicraft, this one is loose, that one is tight, such an ugly glove, wouldn't it be embarrassing for fourth elder brother to wear it?"
Bingxiang yelled: "Sentient beings can fill the drinking water! The fourth elder brother saw the gloves and forgot everything, how can they be beautiful and ugly!"
Everyone laughed again, and Shuwan was so angry that she grabbed a ball of wool and threw it on her.
"Smelly girl, see if I won't beat you today!"
Nanny Ning smiled and persuaded Shuwan to calm down, don't stretch her.
"Fu Jin, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or ugly, it's all about your heart. You should weave something."
Shuwan sighed: "Okay! I see, I don't knit gloves, I'll knit a sweater for brother."
Most of the sweaters are made of plain stitches, which is very simple. As for the cuffs and necklines, let Qiuxiang and the others help.Anyway, the sweater is worn inside and cannot be seen outside.
Just being inspired by Nanny Ning, Shuwan thought of another good idea.
She sent Chun'er and others out, leaving Nanny Ning alone to talk.
"It stands to reason that all good things should be dedicated to the emperor. I won't show off this time. Mommy will go to the Yonghe Palace, take thread and needles, and teach the concubine De to knit gloves."
After thinking about it, Nanny Ning understood that Shuwan wanted to sell her to Concubine De.
"Fu Jin's idea is good, and Empress Defei must be happy."
Shuwan smiled smugly, it wasn't that she wanted to please Concubine De.The imperial concubine knits gloves for the emperor with tenderness and sweetness, right?Usually she is so fierce, she is a little woman in front of the emperor.It feels like watching a mother-in-law's joke, which is inexplicably cool.
Shuwan said to Nanny Ning seriously: "Gloves are not a good thing, but I'm doing it for my mother!"
There is no such thing as watching the excitement!
Nurse Ning said emotionally: "I understand Fujin's filial piety! At this time, the concubine De should be free, slave
