"Why don't you apologize? You did it for me, and you didn't do it on purpose!"
Brother Jiu was not happy because he was afraid that she would really be punished: "Don't worry, I will stop you from the front and I won't let you punish me..."
Shu Shu said coquettishly: "Just listen to me once... No, not just this time, but also in the future... In front of the queen, you are not allowed to side with me, and you must scold me before the queen..."
Brother Jiu frowned and looked at her, very puzzled: "I don't protect you, but I still scold you, so I'm such a bastard?"
Shu Shu leaned over and said softly: "If you talk to others in front of me, no matter whether it makes sense or not, I will feel uncomfortable... I hope that I am the only one in your heart, even if I am not the only one, I will I take it the most seriously... Parents' feelings for their children, even if they are not as domineering as a couple, can't help but feel sour if they are not used to it for a while... In front of Amma, if I show that I put you before him and Enie Going forward, I wonder if he will cry..."
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his mood was ups and downs.
He ran to the head office in a bad temper last night because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear from Shu Shu, but now he heard it.
She hopes that she will be the only one, and also hopes that she will be the most important to her...
As for the rest of the story, my father-in-law's crying appearance was particularly vivid in my memory. Brother Jiu also seemed to understand his wife's intentions.
"The empress is open-minded and won't care about it like this..."
Brother Ninth was still reluctant to push Shu Shu ahead.
The empress is the most observant of rules, so she can't really punish Shu Shu in order to prevent Khan Amma from causing trouble.
"Just listen to me..."
Shu Shu insisted.
"Then...what if...my queen punishes you?"
Brother Jiu was worried and still hesitating.
"Since I was wrong, is it not right for the queen to discipline me? If she doesn't listen, I will cry secretly..."
Shu Shu said, lowering her voice: "As I said yesterday, I got angry with me. It's not good for the emperor and the empress to talk about me anymore... The empress has punished me, so others can't talk about it anymore..."
Brother Jiu was still struggling and refused to nod.
Shu Shu whispered: "The Second Office is too conspicuous these days, and things happen one after another. Even if the queen doesn't punish me, I plan to be 'grounded' for a few days... I have to tell the queen in advance to save the queen from worrying." …”
Brother Ninth nodded reluctantly.
But before going out, he called Sun Jin and told him: "Fu Jin is going to Yikun Palace, so you should go with him. If the empress asks about what happened last night, and there is anything that Fu Jin can't say, you should tell her carefully." Empress…”
*
Shu Shu planned to go to Yikun Palace in person to "please apologize", but there was no reason to come directly, especially since she was still "recuperating" in the eyes of outsiders.
When Brother Jiu was giving instructions to Sun Jin, Shu Shu was beside him, thoughtfully.
At the beginning of Chen Dynasty, Shu Shu sent Sun Jin to Yikun Palace: "I ate the door-nail meat pie that the empress sent me a few days ago. You go over there and tell me that I was talking about it... If the empress asks about yesterday." There is no need to hide it from me, just tell the truth... Then tell your Majesty on my behalf, I want to come over and apologize to your Majesty, I don’t know when it will be convenient for your Majesty to be here..."
Sun Jin remembered it carefully in his mind and did not talk as much as yesterday.
Although he was "punished" by the ninth elder brother in front of everyone in the second house, he actually understood that it was the elder brother who was deliberately putting on a show, fearing that people would find fault with Master Fujin, and deliberately put the blame on him.
Can someone who takes the blame for his master be called the scapegoat? !
That's his loyalty!
In fact, my elder brother has worried about it.
As the master of Fujin, he is a master who takes one step at a time and sees the next three steps, so he doesn't have to worry about others at all.
Just look at my brother's posture last night. He didn't say a harsh word, and he even had to help cover it up.
That’s the thing!
When the people from the two houses came to see her, Concubine Yi knew that something was going on.
Through these few days of contact, Yifei also understood her daughter-in-law's style. She was a very measured and considerate child who would not send someone away just to beg for food.
Concubine Yi asked the little maid next to her to go to the dining room to send a message, and then asked someone to get the bird's nest: "It's hard for Jiu Fujin. He is not feeling well, and he has to worry about his brother... I remember that I bought two boxes of bird's nest outside the Dragon Boat Festival. Bring a box with you..."
After giving these instructions, Concubine Yi looked at Sun Jin: "How is your Fujin? I heard that you are taking medicine for treatment, how is the effect? Are you resting well, and how is your diet?"
Zhou Jin looked embarrassed and whispered: "I took medicine and rested yesterday. I was a little bit better at first, but I got angry at night and felt a little uncomfortable again..."
Yifei felt her temples pounding: "What did your brother do?"
There were many women in the palace, and Concubine Yi's first reaction was that the two elder brothers were very restless.
If something goes wrong at this time, the daughter-in-law should feel aggrieved.
Zhou Jin quickly shook his head: "It has nothing to do with our elder brother, it's the boss..."
Zhou Jin lowered his voice and explained what happened last night in detail, and also recounted Shu Shu's coming to plead guilty.
Yi Fei drooped her eyelids and said with displeasure: "What nonsense! Even if you are worried about my brother, it's not like this! They are brothers and sisters, not enemies. They are eating cold wine and two chopsticks of cold dishes in the dog days, and they are not If you are sincere and neglectful, you will make a fuss... You are too ignorant, you are already sick, and you are still uneasy... You don't need her to come over, Xianglan, go over, give her a good scolding on my behalf, and ask her Do you know if you are wrong... I don't expect her to apologize. As long as she recovers her illness peacefully, and when she is well, she can go and apologize to the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Fortune Jin..." The last few sentences were addressed to Xianglan. .
Xianglan responded and followed Sun Jin out.
Sun Jin felt uneasy and said carefully: "Auntie, I really don't blame our Fujin... You didn't see that not only the wine and watermelon were kept on ice... they were just a few side dishes, and the sauced venison was placed under the head. Cabbage leaves, ice is used under the cabbage leaves... If it's not intentional, who would believe it..."
Xianglan glanced at him, glanced at the bird's nest in the little palace maid's hand, and hummed: "You talk too much, you don't have the eyesight!"
Sun Jin slapped his mouth and closed it.
Xianglan's expression was tense, but she understood why the empress was upset.
No one else knows about Brother Jiu's physical condition, but Xianglan is Yifei's confidant, so she knows it.
Therefore, she also saw that the empress was angry just now, not because of Jiu Fujin, but because of Ba Age and Ba Fujin.
Maybe Ba Fujin just arranged to have cold wine and cold food out of anger, but for Brother Jiu, it is taboo now.
The empress has been worried about Brother Jiu these past few days, so it would be strange not to be angry.
*
Two study rooms.
Shu Shu was looking at her note and wrote down what happened last night.
The description is very objective, including the beginning, development, outbreak and ending of the event.
My anger towards Ba Fujin and my disappointment towards Ba Age...
I secretly feel sorry for my husband, feeling that the eighth elder brother has let down the brotherhood of the ninth elder brother...
Closing the note, Shu Shu was actually in a very happy mood, and she gave ten points to Brother Jiu in her heart.
Although he is only a young man, he is responsible in everything he does and knows how to protect her.
However, she also understood that in the future, "emergency incidents" like last night should be avoided.
It was too out of line and inconsistent with her code of conduct.
And these days, the news from the Second Institute is too intensive, once or twice...
It is not appropriate to make any more noise for a long period of time, otherwise it will give people a bad impression without saying right or wrong.
Among the emperor's eight daughters-in-law, the last one to make news like this every now and then was Ba Fujin.
At this time, Shu Shu just wanted to be silent, but did not want to "match" Bafujin.
Shu Shu was quite surprised when Aunt Xianglan came with Sun Jin, but after listening to Xianglan relaying Concubine Yi's "reprimand," she understood the intention.
Concubine Yi, like Brother Jiu, blocked Shu Shu's back and asked her to stay in the second house in the name of "recovering from illness".
In this way, after she had "reprimanded" her daughter-in-law, it would be difficult for Kangxi or the Queen Mother to go beyond Concubine Yi and discipline her again.
Although it was in line with Shu Shu's original intention, but Yi Fei didn't even ask a question and chose to protect her daughter-in-law. Even if she "loves the house and the bird", Shu Shu was grateful and looked ashamed: "It's not me." Okay, I was reckless for a while and bothered the queen to worry about it... I would like to accept my advice. When I feel better, I will go to apologize to the Eighth Master and Ba Fujin, and also go to pay my respects to the queen..."
Xianglan had just delivered the lecture with a straight face, but now her expression softened, and she took the bird's nest box from the hands of the little palace maid: "The empress is thinking about Fujin, and she happened to get a good bird's nest, so she asked the servant to bring it. This is the best for nourishing qi and beauty... Fujin stews it every night Eat it in one cup. If you run out of food, just send someone over to get it again..."
Shu Shu answered with uneasiness: "Originally, we thought we were filial to our empress, but instead of giving her good things..."
Xianglan only said softly: "Master, what worries me most is the health of my brother and Fujin... If both of them are well, Master has nothing else to ask for..."
Shu Shu knew it well and said solemnly: "My father and I are young, and we have to eat and drink well. There is nothing wrong with it..."
After Xianglan left, Shushu returned to Dongshuojian.
In the second main courtyard, the strong smell of medicinal soup continued to float.
Shu Shu took off her hair and slept directly on the kang.
To be honest, during the half month since her wedding, her spirit has been tense, so she might as well take this opportunity to take a good rest.
Xiaochun and Xiaoyu looked at each other and stepped back from the room.
Grandma Zhou is a mature woman. She already understood that Brother Ninth was going to beat and punish him last night. The young couple was not really upset, so she calmed down Grandma Qi.
Xiaochun and the others were serving in the upper room, so they saw Shushu and Brother Jiu getting along with each other, so there was nothing to worry about.
Xiao Yu took Xiao Chun to the west room and took out a plain silk purse: "Look what this is?"
The purse is ordinary, but there are two heavy silver ingots inside, one is five taels, and two are ten taels of silver.
Not to mention a princess, even in the main room, this is also a first-class seal.
Xiao Chun raised her brows with a look on her face: "It's that Zhaojia Gege in the backyard again. She's restless and jumping up and down. What do you want to do?"
For several days, the two maids of Zhaojia Gege either chatted with Xiaotang in the front yard by bringing food, or they got close to Xiaoyu because they were out of hair, but they did not dare to approach Xiaochun and Xiaosong. Minato...
