Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

Another afternoon, clouds covered half of the sky, and muffled thunder rolled from time to time in the distance.

Shen Yao was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch under the shade of flowers in Changxin Palace.

The craftsmen are already doing the finishing work.

In order to meet the construction deadline, the main hall was made of golden nanmu that did not need to be painted. The once simple and heavy Changxin Palace has now been renovated and turned into a golden building.

Looking at the magnificent and bright palace in front of her, Shen Yao felt that she was the old farmer who sows a grain of millet in the spring and harvests thousands of millet grains in the autumn. She was filled with the joy of harvesting a bountiful harvest.

Chun Nong guarded her, and seeing that the weather was bad, she persuaded Shen Yao to return to the side hall of Xingning Palace, but to no avail. She could only continue to guard her, sewing in her hands.

A little eunuch ran ecstatically from the verandah with two umbrellas under his arms.

"Mother, what a great joy."

Listen to Xiao Xizi's ecstatic voice, from far to near.

The brilliance in Shenyao's eyes was flowing, and she craned her neck in anticipation to wait.

Now, in her eyes, no matter how big a happy event is, just watching a flower bloom, tasting some delicious food, or reading a good book can make her happy.

In these days in the palace, she no longer wanted to live on thin ice and lose all her face for a man.

Seeing Shen Yao waiting eagerly, Chun Nong hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xizi, tell me quickly, what kind of happy event is it?"

Xiao Xizi came closer, bowed to Shen Yao, and said happily.

"Just now, I went to get my umbrella and met several civil servants coming out of His Majesty's study."

"They are all saying that since His Majesty rewarded you with Yuqian steamed cakes, people in the government and the public have spread the word that the imperial concubine is kind-hearted and considerate of the people."

"I also heard an adult in a red robe say that the imperial concubine is thrifty and broad-minded. He even gave up the Zichen Palace and said that our empress is a saint descended from heaven and the empire is auspicious."

Although the civil servants were just doing what they wanted and flattering the emperor, having a good reputation was what Shen Yao cared about most nowadays.

"Xiao Xizi, watch and enjoy!"

The gentle and generous Chao Chunong spread her hands and said, "Chun Nong, give me one tael of silver. I will personally hand it to Eunuch Xiao Xizi!"

Chun Nong smiled and brushed her hand softly against Shen Yao's open hand, "Here you go!"

Shen Yao tossed another handful and said to Xiao Xizi, "Watch the reward!"

"I don't want your Majesty's reward, but I am happy for your Majesty!"

Xiao Xizi jumped three feet high and rolled like a monkey on the ground, bending his five claws and shaking.

Shen Yao laughed with joy, "Why don't you be a good person and insist on learning from the hozen?"

"Your Majesty, there are still many slaves who know how to do it! Just wait and see!"

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Xizi jumped up and down again, doing two somersaults in the air.

"Then reward again!"

Shen Yao smiled as brightly as a flower, put her hands on her hips and said, "Today, I will reward Little Xizi's father-in-law by changing his name to Little Monkey's father-in-law!"

Now it was Xiao Xizi's turn to grimace and whisper, "A slave is not a little monkey."

Chun Nong also suppressed her laughter and sighed to Shen Yao,

"My little ancestor, you frightened me when you ate Yuqian steamed cakes in the Queen's Palace a few days ago."

"I didn't expect that everything has a cause and effect. You lament that it is not easy to make a living, but you can let the world know your kindness."

Shen Yao was embarrassed by Chun Nong's praise. That day she was just making nonsense to excuse herself.

Xiao Xizi said softly, "According to my opinion, great wealth and honor are still waiting for my empress. The master said that the Queen Mother was able to be named empress from Concubine De because of her virtuous reputation. I think this minion looks at our imperial concubine... …”

"Xiao Xizi! All I want in this life is to keep you guys safe until you grow old."

Shen Yao was dissatisfied with Xiao Xizi being so noisy and interrupted his chattering, "If you want to be rich and powerful, you should move to another noble palace as soon as possible."

After all, he was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child. When he heard that Shen Yao didn't want him, Xiao Xizi knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head loudly.

"I will follow you all my life, and I won't go anywhere!" Xiao Xizi said stubbornly with a bitter face, "Even if you call me little monkey from now on, I won't go anywhere!"

Shen Yao stood up and helped him up.

"When you moved out of Zichen Palace, you were willing to follow me, which can be considered loyal."

"Now that I don't want to compete for favor and love, if you stay in Changxin Palace, you may live in silence for the rest of your life and never get ahead. You have to think about it."

"As people go to higher places, if you want to leave one day, go find Chun Nong yourself and ask her to wrap you up with some scraps of silver. It will also be considered as a kind of friendship between our master and servant."

"Your Majesty, this slave has realized his mistake. I will stop nagging you."

Xiao Xizi wiped away her tears and looked at Shen Yao pitifully with her big eyes, "My queen, please don't give up your slave!"

"Your Majesty is your savior, and I will be loyal to your Majesty for the rest of your life!"

Shen Yao said calmly, "Officials are not always noble, and people are always cheap. It is our fate that I save you."

Hearing what Shen Yao said, Xiao Xizi's face was covered with tears and runny nose, and she was grinning again.

Chun Nong shook his head and said, "Hurry and wash your face, and then go to the inner court order to ask for a few people to clean the Changxin Palace. You will have to move back in two days."

Xiao Xizi kowtowed heavily to Shen Yao and ran away again.

He ran towards the palace gate and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Chun Nong remembered that Shen Yao saved Xiao Xizi three years ago.

At that time, the late emperor was buried and the new emperor ascended the throne.

The Queen led Shen Yao and the concubines to drink tea and chat with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace.

Wang Dafu led several young eunuchs to deliver spices and jewelry from various countries in the Western Regions to the Queen Mother.

Xiao Xizi followed Wang Dafu. He had just started working and had never seen the world. It was the first time to see so many noble masters.

The fragrant powder made him dizzy, and the silk satin dazzled his eyes.

The more scared I became, the more mistakes I made, and I accidentally spilled a plate of spices.

The Queen Mother was furious and immediately ordered that Xiao Xizi be beaten with a stick a hundred times.

No matter how valuable a plate of spices is, it only costs a hundred taels of silver. But if a hundred imperial staffs are used, this little eunuch will definitely lose his life.

Shen Yao then stepped forward to save this slave.

Because of this, Shen Yao and the Queen Mother had a disagreement for the first time.

Although she later apologized to the Queen Mother many times and bowed her head, how she did it left a thorn in the Queen Mother's heart.

"Now that you have taken refuge in Changxin Palace, will you regret the dispute you had with the Queen Mother?"

Shen Yao shook her head, she had never regretted saving Xiao Xizi.

When she was a child, her father would hold her hand while walking on the street, and would ask her to give the coins in her purse to the beggars.

If she really wanted to say she regretted it, then the only thing she regretted in her previous life was trusting and loving Lu Lingchuan. But whether she loved or regretted this matter, she could never explain it to outsiders in her life.

A strong wind blew up, blowing the fallen leaves and flowers on the ground. The raindrops fell softly.

Chun Nong covered Shen Yao under the umbrella and said, "Go back."
