morning thoughts

Concubine Shu was very worried when she didn't see Ling Jun all night, she leaned on the couch and rubbed her head after breakfast, presumably because she couldn't sleep well last night.

After Ji Yu brought Ji Li into the palace, he went straight to Concubine Shu to pay her respects. Concubine Shu couldn't help being stunned when she heard the rumor that the first lady of Annan Wang's family was coming to see her. As soon as she asked someone to come in, Ling Jun came in first.

Concubine Shu saw her son's hanging heart before she fell to the ground. She pulled him closer and took a look twice, and said angrily: "Your child is acting like a wild child after leaving the palace. Worry."

Ling Jun laughed, and took out a small jade rabbit from his arms as if offering a treasure, and handed it to Concubine Shu, "Mother Concubine, you are thinking about Mother Concubine when you see this minister coming out of the palace, this was bought at the market yesterday. , specially given to the concubine mother."

Concubine Shu paused, took the jade rabbit over and couldn't help but close her eyes, thinking, "The quality of this is also a bit poor, and the people in the palace are better than this."

But what is rare is his filial piety, Concubine Shu couldn't bear to disobey him, and immediately asked the palace staff to put it away so as not to let it go.

At this time, Ji Yu walked in with Ji Li, and the two of them greeted Concubine Shu first, Concubine Shu hurriedly got up and said, "You worked hard yesterday."

While speaking, Concubine Shu glanced at Ji Li, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then asked: "Is this A Li?"

According to the rules, Ji Li took a step forward to greet Concubine Shu again, Concubine Shu nodded, her figure is not bad, but she looks like she is not familiar with the world...

When I raised my eyes again, I took a look at Ji Yu, "I heard that the queen and the prince had raised their minds..."

It was inconvenient to say this in front of the daughter in the boudoir, Concubine Shu was concerned about etiquette, and Ji Yu also understood and cast a grateful look.

Shaking his head, he asked warmly: "Sister She is still young, maybe the queen and prince don't know the truth."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she snorted, with a hint of sarcasm, and then looked at Ji Li with a friendly smile, beckoned to her and pulled her to her side to ask questions.

Ji Li understands the rules and makes Concubine Shu happy. She is lively and smart without losing the demeanor of a lady. The concubine Shu who amuses her smiles and rewards Ji Li with many things one after another to show her liking.

Seeing that Concubine Shu loves Ji Li unabated, Ji Yu said earnestly: "Auntie, Ji Li is still young and spoiled by my mother and me. It's okay to put him in the home of ordinary people, so please ask Auntie to stay with you under His Majesty's favor." A few words of help in front of me."

Concubine Shu listened to his words, thinking about the aunt in her heart, and thinking that the empress and the prince had made a mistake in their calculations, she couldn't help but feel a little happier, and said immediately: "It's only natural, I really like this child, let's take it again." It’s a family, so there’s no reason not to favor sides.”

With Concubine Shu's consent, Ji Yu felt at ease.

While talking, Ling Chao asked to see him outside.

"Look, what's going on today? They've all gathered here in this palace." Concubine Shu looked at Ji Yu with a smile in her eyes, "Didn't you all go back to the palace together?"

When Ling Chao came in, he heard Concubine Shu's words. He bowed to greet Concubine Shu and replied, "I was summoned by my father when I first entered the palace, so I couldn't come to greet Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu nodded, and said: "Your Majesty summoned you must be an important matter, our mother and son can talk at any time."

Ling Chao nodded in response, and when he raised his head again, his eyes met Ji Yu's, with a cool look in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Father heard that the son brought the young lady into the palace, and just wanted to see him, so he asked Concubine Shu to go with him. "

Ji Yu understood that the general must have come before them, and Ling Chao didn't find out anything when he went to face the saint.

Concubine Shu is always inconvenient. After making eye contact for a while, the two followed Concubine Shu to His Majesty's place.

Ji Yu took Ji Li into the hall behind Concubine Shu, knelt outside the bead curtain and kowtowed first.

The emperor was sitting in a high position but his expression was not very good. When he saw Ji Li again, he relaxed a little and said, "When did you come to Beijing, and Ah Yu didn't report to me?"

His Majesty's tone was as usual, not like blaming and blaming.

Ji Yu knelt on the spot without getting up, and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my sister went to Beijing a few days ago, but she fell ill just after arriving in Huajing, so she didn't dare to report to the emperor so as not to disturb the Sacred Heart."

The emperor blushed and coughed twice, and Concubine Shu immediately went to breathe for the emperor, and after she was calm as usual, she stepped back a little and brought a cup of hot tea to the emperor.

The emperor drank two sips of tea, took a breath and looked tired, "I remember that you also fell ill when you entered Beijing, and your siblings are actually worse than me."

"Today the general came into the palace and told me something about you."

Ji Yu didn't know how to proceed with the emperor's words, so he leaned over there without saying a word, and after a long while he was a little surprised and said: "I don't know where I have sinned against the general, but I can let the general report to His Majesty."

Seeing what Ji Yu said, the emperor didn't mention it. He glanced at Ji Li who was also kneeling, and then asked them to get up.

The emperor remained silent, and no one dared to speak easily. Except Concubine Shu, the whole group stood on both sides, nodding their heads and waiting for the emperor to speak first.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Shu pushed the emperor softly and said softly, "Jili is a child that my concubine likes so much, why don't your majesty call him over to see him?"

"Then come forward and let me see."

Ji Li glanced sideways at Ji Yu, seeing him nodding to her, she boldly took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the bead curtain.

The emperor took a few glances, then turned his head to look at Concubine Shu and understood, he raised his hand to let Ji Li back down, "Since Concubine Shu likes you, you often go to the palace to accompany Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu smiled, and said to the emperor: "The concubine likes this child very much. It would be great if it were my own daughter. The concubine's fortune is so good that Jun'er has the fate of having no children anymore, and she can no longer bear children for your majesty." This princess is really ashamed of your majesty's love."

Having said that, although Concubine Shu is in good health, she did not get pregnant after giving birth to the Fifth Highness, but in any case, this incident cannot be blamed on Concubine Shu, not to mention that His Majesty is getting older and more concerned about state affairs, the affairs of the harem are naturally not as good as before like that.

Concubine Shu's words gradually stirred up water in the emperor's heart. He looked at Ji Li again and shook his head, comforting him: "I have neglected you these days. Since you like this child, let her come to the palace more often." Just to accompany you, there is no one in your mother's house, so it is easy to see the family members and walk around frequently."

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty," Concubine Shu smiled again, turned her head to look at Ji Yu, and said meaningfully: "Ah Yu should bring her into the palace to accompany me, you and I are a family , it is absolutely impossible to be divided."

Your Majesty couldn't hear Concubine Shu's intentions, and felt that the Queen was too hasty in this matter. Thinking of this, he felt that these people were eagerly looking forward to his body getting weaker and weaker, so they couldn't wait to make friends for him.

He patted Concubine Shu's hand and said, "You take Ji Li down first, I still have something to tell the prince."

After Concubine Shu left with Ji Li and Ling Jun, the hall became even more silent.

The emperor squinted his eyes at Ji Yu, and said directly: "The general came to tell me today that his adopted son Sun Zhao had kidnapped Ji Li, is there such a thing?"

Ji Yu stared at an incense burner in front of him, and the clouds and smoke curled up, covering the emperor's expression completely.

"Sun Zhao?" Ji Yu was surprised, raised his head to look at the emperor, frowned and said, "Isn't it the Second Highness?"
