Chapter 107 The Fifth Lady in the Story of Zhen Huan's Childbirth 6
The next day, Yinqi was recuperating in the front yard, and Jingshu went alone to serve tea to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi.
Originally, the tea ceremony should have been held on the second day of the wedding, but because of Yinqi's incident, it was delayed until today.
Jingshu came to Yiku Palace and was brought in by palace servants. Concubine Yi was lying on the couch with a scarf covering her head. She looked like she had been seriously ill.
Seeing Jingshu come in, Concubine Yi reluctantly sat up and asked Jingshu, "How is Yinqi? Is he feeling better today?"
Jingshu bowed and sat on the embroidered stool beside her. "Fifth Master is much better now. Thank you for your concern, Mother! Chen Jinxi personally prepared the medicine, fearing that there might be something wrong. Don't worry, Mother, Fifth Master will recover."
After taking a breath, he continued, "Those palace maids and daughters-in-law have also been properly arranged.
As long as they can give birth to a boy or girl for the Fifth Master, the daughter-in-law wants to make the decision and give them a status. What do you think, mother?"
Concubine Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that's what we should do! Mother knows you are a good child.
If any of them has a child, my mother will give it to you to raise and register it under your name."
Jingshu's face was full of gratitude, and she hurriedly thanked Concubine Yi.
But she didn't agree with it in her heart. She was afraid that if Yinqi died, Jingshu would not be able to have children herself and would harm other people's children.
I'm afraid that the palace maids that Yinqi has slept with are now surrounded by the spies of these big guys.
Afterwards, with the help of the palace maids, he respectfully offered tea to his wife and completed the etiquette.
Concubine Yi gave her a set of jade headwear.
Jingshu said goodbye to Yiku Palace and walked towards the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.
In the previous two lives, Concubine Yi only gave him a pair of bracelets. In this life, Yinqi was disabled, but he didn't expect to get such good things.
This guy is so realistic!
How could such a good girl encounter such a thing as soon as she entered the house? Isn't this a disgrace to her?
If it weren't for the royal family, my wife's family would have come to the door long ago.
When they arrived at the gate of Shoukang Palace, the empress dowager did not let Jingshu in, saying that she was not feeling well and did not want to see anyone. She just asked her to kowtow at the door.
Jingshu didn't care whether the old lady was really sick or not, as long as she did her best to make sure no one could find fault with her.
At the gate of Shoukang Palace, he kowtowed deeply, took the gift prepared by the empress dowager, and turned back to the prince's residence.
The prince's residence was silent, and all the servants moved very quietly, not daring to make a sound.
Kangxi took away all the palace maids who had come into contact with Liu Jia and replaced them with a new group of people in the Prince's Office.
The incident that day caused such a big stir that everyone in the palace heard some rumors, but no one dared to say a word.
After the commotion of the past two days, the backyard finally became truly quiet.
In Yinqi's mansion, besides the concubine Liu Jia, there were also Zhao Jia, Yila Li and Yang, all of whom were princesses.
These people had all entered Yinqi's room the night before last.
They thought that Yinqi might not be able to survive in the future, so they all wanted to fight for themselves.
When Kangxi was looking for palace maids, they all gave their all.
Now, they all hide in their own yards and raise them, hoping to get pregnant.
What Yinqi least wants to see now are the women in the mansion.
Jingshu didn't need to look at his cold face, so she asked people to go to the front yard every day to ask about Chen Jinxi and Yinqi's situation to show her concern, and that was it.
After returning to the main courtyard and changing their clothes, Yuqin and Jinhua looked at Jingshu eagerly, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
It was Yuqin who spoke first: "Fujin, you and the Fifth Master haven't consummated your marriage yet. Now that the Fifth Master has gotten into this kind of trouble, what are you going to do in the future? Do you want to think of a way to adopt a child?" Jinhua nodded quickly.
Jing Shu waved her hand and said, "Fifth Master is in this state now. If he brings up the matter of adopting a child at this time, wouldn't that be like poking at the lungs of those people above him?
There's no need to rush about this matter. It doesn't matter whether you have children or not.
The emperor will not watch his son go without anyone to offer sacrifices to him in the future, so we don’t need to worry about these things.
Now, it is better for us to be quiet than to move. Let us live a peaceful and stable life and manage the palace well. Then no one in the royal family will treat us unfairly."
It's a sensitive time now, and any small action can irritate these people.
The mansion finally had peace and quiet, so why didn't Yinqi just let himself be decadent? Why did he have to find a way to cheer him up?
"Go to the Imperial Household Department and find me a skilled embroiderer. I want to learn embroidery.
If anyone asks, I'll just say I want to learn how to make clothes for Master Wu. If no one asks, forget it."
Only by showing your loyalty at this time can you gain benefits from the big guys.
Moreover, her embroidery skills will be useful when she travels to other worlds in the future.
It’s true, after only a few days of learning embroidery, the emperor, the empress dowager and Concubine Yi sent all kinds of good materials.
It’s specially made for the royal family, how can it be bad?
Jingshu secretly put half into the space and the other half into the warehouse.
At the same time, he was not idle every day. Starting from the main courtyard, he hypnotized the servants to make them loyal to Jingshu.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
During this month, the Liu Jia family was thoroughly investigated but the source of the drugs was not found.
However, Kangxi still found out a lot of ways that the Imperial Household Department helped to deliver news and items in the palace, and dealt with all these people.
Those in the Liujia clan who had problems were demoted or dismissed from office.
Liu Jia's father, Liu Wenhuan, and his family were all confiscated and exiled.
At dinner time that day, Yinqi came out of the study in the front yard.
Jingshu was thinking that this guy would be depressed for a while, but she didn't expect that he would adjust his mentality so quickly.
Jingshu finished her greetings and stood up and asked, "Master, would you like to dine with us? I'll ask someone to order a few more dishes that you'd like to eat!"
Yinqi waved his hand, meaning that it was not necessary, "Master, just eat the same as Fu Jin."
After saying that, he washed his hands and sat down at the dining table.
Jingshu didn't pretend to be a virtuous woman and served him. She sat down and started eating with him.
While eating, Yinqi looked at Jingshu several times with ambiguous eyes, but Jingshu pretended not to see anything.
No matter what happens, we have to wait until we are full. Judging from Yinqi's attitude, he is not here just to eat today.
After the meal, the servants served hot tea. Yinqi asked everyone to go downstairs, and Chen Jinxi stood guard at the door.
Yuqin and Jinhua glanced at Jingshu, and when they saw Jingshu nod, they left the room.
Yinqi stared at Jingshu for a long while and asked, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Jing Shu was confused, "What do you mean, Master? I don't quite understand!"
Yinqi said, "On the day of the wedding, you knew that Liu Jia deliberately kept me here to win your favor, so why didn't you stop her?"
Jingshu suddenly realized that the culprit was gone and had no one to vent his anger on, so he came to her to show off.
Jing Shu calmly picked up the teacup and said, "Master, how can I stop you?"
