Chapter 60 Have we made a fortune?
After sending Song away, Fu Jin dismissed the attendants and called only Madam Sun: "Come and massage my shoulders."
"Your eyes must be tired, right? I will apply some medicine on them for you later. Your Majesty, you must not embroider for too long tomorrow, or your body cannot bear it." Nanny Sun warned gently.
"My mother was dissatisfied with me when I entered the palace at the end of the year. This picture was ordered by her some time ago. Now that I will enter the palace again on the 15th, I should hurry up and get it out to avoid her getting angry." Ulanara rubbed her eyebrows slightly.
Nanny Sun lowered her voice and said, "Fujin, why are you doing this? I'll just ask for an embroiderer. It's obvious that Concubine De is trying to torture you. Even if you succeed in embroidering, I'm afraid you won't get any good results."
Ulanara's eyes turned cold. "She has been like this for a long time. I am bored all day, so I will just embroider it. Otherwise, I will embarrass myself when I enter the palace on the 15th."
She knew that Concubine De did not like her as a daughter-in-law. Her father had died suddenly, her brothers had not yet entered officialdom, and the glory of her Ulanara family was far less than before.
During the selection, Concubine De's preference was for that bitch Guaerjia Ruyu.
It's a pity that she was unlucky. She fell ill on the day of the audition and missed the opportunity, but it did help her.
She is deeply in love with the Fourth Master. Even now, there is no talk of marriage. I'm afraid she hasn't given up on him.
The position of Consort that Guaerjia Ruyu had always dreamed of was now within her grasp. Her mood instantly brightened as she took a small bite of a crab cake and asked, "In your opinion, Madam, is Song a good candidate for great use?"
Nanny Sun said indifferently, "She doesn't look like someone who can be of great use. Does Fu Jin really want to support her to accompany the Fourth Master? I'm afraid it will be very difficult for her to share Li's favor."
The prince seldom went into the backyard, except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. The rest of the time, when he went to the backyard, he would go to Li's Ruyi Pavilion.
Even if I don't stay overnight, I will go there from time to time.
This behavior further emboldened Li's arrogance. She showed no respect to Fu Jin at all and had no way to deal with her at all.
Ulanara said: "Even if it is not of great use, I can only use it for the time being. There is no one who can use it now.
When the prince goes out, he must be accompanied by someone to serve him. I have to take care of the household affairs at home. Li has children to take care of, and now there is only Song left.
She has a good appearance and a good personality, it's just a favor."
Nanny Sun nodded gently, "Fujin, it seems that the prince is also interested in warm wine. Speaking of which, you haven't given him any rewards for sleeping with him until now. Why don't you take this opportunity to win him over?
"From my perspective, this warm wine is much better than Song's. However, this person's temperament is a little unpredictable. It's okay to use it temporarily, but in the long run, we still need to be cautious."
"Her? What's there to be wary of?" Ulanara curled her lips slightly. "She's just a concubine, not even worthy of being a princess. What's the point of having a pretty face? Using your beauty to impress others won't last long."
Nanny Sun laughed when she heard this: "Of course, no matter how many people come into the house, you are the mistress."
"Forget it." Ulanara said casually, "Just find some things to send to her. After all, she is in the favor of the emperor now. Let her dress up well and surpass Li.
If Lord Beile likes it, I should also do something similar."
Nanny Sun nodded: "What Fu Jin said is correct, that's exactly the point."
Ulanara put down the snacks in her hand and said, "Now that the New Year has passed, the new bride should be arriving. It will be a lively occasion then." She had a dull expression, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Nanny Sun glanced at her wife and for a moment didn't know whether she should agree or not. She just lowered her head and continued to rub her shoulders.
In the Qingliang Pavilion, Wenjiu kicked off his shoes and got into bed as soon as he entered the room.
"Phew, it's so warm."
The earthen dragon was burning hot, and after taking a turn at the warm wine, I felt like I was alive again.
Shanzha felt quite distressed as she helped warm the wine and her hands: "Sister, why do you do all the rough work yourself? Just let the servants do it. You're willing to spare such delicate hands?"
Wen Jiu smiled: "Good hawthorn, please don't talk about me. Didn't Lord Beile say that he would accompany me in the evening? It's not in vain."
Nanny Song brought a cup of hot tea to Wenjiu and said with a smile: "Miss, you have worked hard. If you can get the love of the prince in return, it will be worth it."
He added, "Wait a moment, young lady. Xiaodouzi is watching the fire right now. I'll boil the ginger soup for you again. Drink a bowl of it and all the cold will go away."
Wenjiu agreed with a smile and patted Shanzha's hand: "You must be freezing today too, drink a bowl later."
After drinking ginger soup and warm wine, I fell asleep immediately.
It would be a waste if you don’t sleep on the warm kang in winter.
As soon as I fell asleep, I appeared in the space.
Wenjiu lazily threw the love-hate bracelet on his hand to Xiaojin, then lay down on the table and closed his eyes to rest.
Xiao Jin hurriedly took it and counted them one by one.
"One, two, three... Wow, Master, seven more emperor hearts! We've made a fortune again.
In addition, I also received love and hatred from the Fourteenth Master.
And Song Gege, in just a short while, she's already showing four signs of hatred. Is she really that angry about you?"
Wen Jiu lazily raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jin: "It would be better if she hated me a little more. Tomorrow I will go around her more often and try to gain more."
Then he instructed: "Xiao Jin, help me replace all the emperor's hearts with seeds of the flower of rebirth.
Suddenly I felt that Song Gege could support me."
"Master, it's not that Xiaojin doesn't want to change it for you, it's just that we don't have enough seeds to change now." Xiaojin said quite guilty.
Wen Jiu was puzzled: "What does it mean? One emperor's heart is one flower seed, and we have seven?"
Xiao Jin took some effort to bring the plaque to Wenjiu, pointed at it, and asked Wenjiu to look at it.
[Do you want to consume 10 Emperor Hearts to exchange for Rebirth Flower Seeds? ]
Wen Jiu glared: "How could this happen?"
Xiao Jin shrank his neck. "The Rebirth Flower is a daily quest reward that can only be obtained by staying with the Fourth Master. The Master exchanges it with the Emperor's Heart. The first time, one Emperor's Heart is exchanged for one seed. The second time, 10 hearts are exchanged for one seed. The third time, 100 hearts are exchanged for one seed. And so on."
Wen Jiu: "...Playing rogue? Can't you afford to play? How can I live a long life like this?"
Xiao Jin: "Master, don't be angry, this is the system's rule, there's nothing we can do about it.
But don't lose heart, we have great hope. You see, from now on, as long as the Fourth Master doesn't sleep with other women and stays in your room exclusively,
There is only one seed a day, and you can’t die even if you want to.
Besides, you have already gained more than a hundred days of life, and living to be a hundred years old is just around the corner..."
Wen Jiu took a deep breath, silently chanted a few words to calm himself down, and then asked, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Tell me all at once."
