Chapter 134 Guarding Shu Fei's coffin with warmth
"Noble Concubine Jia always likes to use various methods to lure the emperor to her presence. But she has run out of tricks these years."
"When the emperor heard Li Xin say that Concubine Shu committed suicide, he did not agree to hold a funeral for Concubine Shu, but the queen relied on the child in her belly to force the emperor to do so.
Concubine Jia felt more confident and really started learning Kunqu opera. "
The Kunqu opera that Jin Yuyan heard in the Old Summer Palace was arranged by Yan Wan in advance. Now when she heard Chun Chan say that Jin Yuyan had learned Kunqu opera, Yan Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
"well done."
Yanwan was criticized by Ruyi for learning to sing Kunqu Opera in the past, but now Yanwan wants to see if she is easy to bully, but Jin Yuyan is not easy to bully.
"Yes, Concubine Jia has been very unhappy for a long time because the Queen has been pregnant repeatedly and she has no idea where to start. I am afraid that there will be something interesting to watch."
The good show that Yanwan had been waiting for was staged on the day of Shufei's 100th day memorial ceremony.
On the 100th day of Concubine Shu's death, Jin Yuyan dressed up as an actress, sang Kunqu opera, and seduced the emperor away.
Ruyi was the first one who was unwilling and chased Jin Yuyan to take the emperor away.
"Empress Jia, where is the emperor?"
"I will call the emperor away today. The incident with the deer blood wine cannot happen again."
"As for you, you sang some frivolous songs at the 100th day memorial service for Concubine Shu, and you will be punished."
Ruyi used the matter of deer blood wine to pressure Jin Yuyan, and her words and temperament fully demonstrated the queen's style.
However, Jin Yuyan had already made preparations for today. She had deliberately chosen the 100th day memorial for Concubine Shu in order to attract Ruyi to come.
"Has the Queen forgotten how Concubine Shu died?"
"Shu Fei committed suicide, so His Majesty has shown mercy by not exterminating her entire clan.
Did the Queen privately ask the Emperor not to make things difficult for Shu Fei's relatives?
Your Majesty, do you think that if you keep it a secret, no one will know about it?"
“The Queen wants to hold a hundred-day memorial service for the sinner.
Just do it yourself, why don't you allow me and the emperor to listen to music and have fun."
"What is the Queen planning?"
"Do you really think you are a warm harem?
Shu Fei died a long time ago. The Queen wants to keep Shu Fei warm and stay by Shu Fei's coffin to keep her warm."
Ruyi knew that Shu Fei's death was indeed her fault. I don't know who told Jin Yuyan this.
Although she was silent, she did not forget to stare at Jin Yuyan.
Ruyi was not in a position to speak, so Rongpei spoke immediately.
"Empress Jia, you are a good member of the Yu family. You can play the northern harp, dance the waist drum, and the fan dance.
How come you even want to steal Kunqu opera?"
Jin Yuyan stroked her hair.
"Listen, Queen. Rong Pei knows that what I am singing is Kunqu Opera, not some extravagant song."
Ruyi was stunned. She really hadn't noticed that Jin Yuyan was singing Kunqu Opera.
Jin Yuyan sneered:
"If the Queen doesn't know what Kunqu Opera is, go back and read a book before coming back."
"The Queen probably doesn't know that the Emperor loves Kunqu Opera the most."
"If the Queen wants to hold me accountable, just wait until the Emperor wakes up.
The emperor is asleep now, and I dare not disturb him."
After saying this, Jin Yuyan closed the door without looking back. Not long after she walked out, she heard Rong Pei's call.
"Empress, Empress, are you about to give birth?"
When Zhenshu heard that Ruyi was about to give birth, she immediately said to Jin Yuyan:
"The queen really can't bear it anymore. This is her fate. I can only hope that God will protect her. If something good can happen to her, that would be even better.
The emperor was already drunk, and the master just said that he couldn't wake him up.
Anyway, it's just that the emperor is greedy for pleasure."
Jin Yuyan was afraid that the emperor would make mistakes, so she gave him some wine early. Now the emperor can't be bothered by anything.
The emperor slept for several hours. When he woke up, he learned that Ruyi had given birth prematurely, and he hurried over.
Jin Yuyan followed the emperor closely, waiting for Ruyi to complain, and then she would try her best to defend herself.
But when Jin Yuyan arrived, she saw a huge commotion.
From afar, the Emperor and Jin Yuyan heard a maid arguing with Rong Pei.
"Why is it that the Queen's labor was not smooth, and she deducted the money from our midwife?"
"Fifty taels of silver may not be a big deal to Empress Yu, but it is a huge sum of money to us. Others may not count it, and Rong Pei, you may not count it either."
"We all suffered in the past. You were unwilling to do the dirty and tiring work because you didn't have money to give to the steward. You said it was unfair."
The maid said this, pointing at several old maids behind Rong Pei.
"Aren't they all here to serve the Queen because of your beauty?"
"What? Now that you have attained enlightenment, our money and lives are no longer important?"
"Now, everyone above you is equal, and below you there are distinctions of high and low.
It’s not that day anymore.”
The old lady's words made Rong Pei very angry, but Rong Pei was not a pushover. She pointed at a package on the ground and said:
"What I'm asking you is, why did you steal the silver, money and jewelry from the twelfth prince's placenta?"
Rong Pei refused to respond to what the midwife said and only cared about the things in the package.
The things in the package were exactly the gold, silver and eight treasures that were buried in the wedding pit on the day Ruyi gave birth to the twelfth prince.
The midwife said calmly:
"Of course, we take it to save our lives. The Queen Mother has reduced the reward for delivering the fifth princess, so we have no choice but to think of this method to survive."
"Bastard!"
The emperor watched and listened for a while, his rage rising to the sky.
Although the twelfth prince was almost one year old, the emperor could not help but be angry when his bridal chamber was dug up so brazenly and the gold, silver and jewels inside were stolen.
Hearing the emperor's voice, the midwife reacted quickly and crawled to the emperor, hugging his thigh tightly.
“Your Majesty, please make the decision for me.
The Empress herself was very angry in front of Concubine Jia because of her unexpected premature birth and the difficult delivery, but she wanted to deduct the rewards from the servants and others.
Your Majesty, the princess’ life is life, but my child’s life is also life.”
"There haven't been many babies born in the palace in the past few years, and the midwife gets rewarded for delivering babies.
Your Majesty, the Queen, doesn't want us to live."
Midwives are not the same as ordinary palace maids. Most of them are married people. They have been hanging around outside all year round and have the skills of scoundrels.
The midwife stuck to the emperor like a piece of taffy.
Even the two imperial guards could not drag her away. For fear of dragging the emperor away, the guards did not dare to use any harsh force.
The emperor had never been so embarrassed before, and it was just because of a few dozen taels of silver.
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? I just sang a few songs for the Emperor. If you are dissatisfied, you can vent your anger to me.
I have also said that Kunqu Opera is the emperor's favorite. If the empress wants to punish me, at least wait until the emperor wakes up and lets him say something. I am fine with whatever punishment he gives me."
“But with such great skills, Her Majesty the Queen can’t wait any longer.
Even so, the Queen should have made things difficult for me, why would she make things difficult for the midwife?"
"It's such an unseemly thing to do."
Jin Yuyan told half the truth and half the lies, and she sounded aggrieved, which made the emperor even more annoyed.
"What does the Queen do?"
The emperor was very angry.
Jin Yuyan also echoed.
"Yes, the Queen Mother can give me a simple gift, which is enough for the midwife to live on. Why bother?"
