"Why are you asking for forgiveness without asking for forgiveness? You did it for me, and you didn't do it on purpose!"
Brother Jiu was not happy because he was afraid that she would really be punished: "Don't worry, I will stop you from the front and I won't let you punish me..."
Shu Shu said coquettishly: "Just listen to me once... No, not just this time, but also in the future... In front of the queen, you are not allowed to side with me, and you must scold me before the queen..."
Brother Jiu frowned and looked at her, puzzled: "I don't protect you, but I still scold you. How can I be such a bastard?"
Shu Shu leaned over and said softly: "If you talk to others in front of me, regardless of whether it makes sense or not, I will feel uncomfortable... I hope that I am the only one in your heart, even if I am not the only one, I will
I take it the most seriously... Parents' feelings towards their children, even if they are not as overbearing as a couple, can't help but feel sour if they don't get used to it... In front of Amma, if I show that I put you before him and Enie
I wonder if he will cry..."
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his mood was ups and downs.
He was so angry last night that he ran to the head office because he didn't hear what he wanted to hear from Shu Shu, but now he heard it.
She hopes that she will be the only one, and also hopes that she will be the most important to her...
As for the rest of the story, my father-in-law's crying appearance was particularly vivid in my memory. Brother Jiu also seemed to understand his wife's intentions.
"The empress is open-minded and won't care about it like this..."
Brother Ninth was still reluctant to push Shu Shu ahead.
The empress is the most observant of rules, so she can't really punish Shu Shu in order to prevent Khan Amma from causing trouble.
"Just listen to me..."
Shu Shu insisted on her opinion.
"Then...what if...my queen punishes you?"
Brother Jiu was worried and still hesitating.
"Since I made a mistake, is it not right for the queen to discipline me? If she doesn't listen, I will cry secretly..."
Shu Shu said, lowering her voice: "As I said yesterday, I got angry with me. It's hard for the emperor and the empress to talk about me anymore... The empress has punished me, so others can't talk about it anymore..."
Brother Jiu still struggled and refused to nod.
Shu Shu whispered: "These days, the second house is too conspicuous, and things happen one after another. Even if the queen doesn't punish me, I plan to be 'grounded' for a few days... I must tell the queen in advance to save the queen from worrying."
…”
Brother Ninth nodded reluctantly.
But before going out, he called Sun Jin and ordered: "Fu Jin is going to Yikun Palace, so you can go with him. If the empress asks about what happened last night, and there is anything that Fu Jin can't say, you can tell her carefully."
Empress…”
*
Shu Shu planned to go to Yikun Palace in person to "please apologize", but there was no reason to come directly, especially since she was still "recuperating" in the eyes of outsiders.
When Brother Jiu was giving instructions to Sun Jin, Shu Shu was beside him, thoughtfully.
At the beginning of Chen Dynasty, Shu Shu sent Sun Jin to Yikun Palace: "I ate the door-nail meat pie that the empress sent me a few days ago. You go over there and tell me that I was talking about it... If the empress asks about yesterday."
There is no need to hide it from me, just tell the truth... Then tell your Majesty on my behalf, I want to come over and apologize to your Majesty, but I don’t know when it will be convenient for your Majesty to come here..."
Sun Jin remembered it carefully in his mind and did not talk as much as he did yesterday.
Although he was "punished" by the ninth elder brother in front of everyone in the second house, he actually understood that it was the elder brother who was deliberately putting on a show, fearing that others would find fault with Master Fujin, and deliberately put the blame on him.
Can someone who takes the blame for his master be called a scapegoat?!
That's his loyalty!
In fact, my elder brother has worried about it.
As the master of Fujin, he is a master who takes one step at a time and sees the next three steps, so he doesn't have to worry about others at all.
Just look at my brother's posture last night. He didn't say a harsh word and he even helped to cover it up.
That’s the thing!
When people from the two houses came to see her, Concubine Yi knew that something was going on.
Through these few days of contact, Yifei also understood her daughter-in-law's style. She was a very measured and considerate child who would not send someone away just to ask for food.
Concubine Yi asked the maid next to her to go to the dining room to send a message, and then asked someone to get the bird's nest: "It's hard for Jiu Fujin. He is not feeling well, and he has to worry about his brother... I remember that I bought two boxes of bird's nest outside the Dragon Boat Festival.
Bring a box with you..."
After giving these instructions, Concubine Yi looked at Sun Jin: "How is your Fujin? I heard that you are taking medicine to treat yourself, how is the effect? Are you resting well, and how is your diet?"
Zhou Jin looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "I took medicine yesterday and rested. I felt a little better at first, but I got angry at night and felt a little uncomfortable again..."
Yifei felt her temples pounding: "What did your brother do?"
There were many women in the palace, so Concubine Yi's first reaction was that her brother and the two were restless.
If something goes wrong at this time, the daughter-in-law should feel aggrieved.
Zhou Jin quickly shook his head: "It has nothing to do with our elder brother, it's the boss..."
Zhou Jin lowered his voice and explained what happened last night in detail, and also recounted Shu Shu's coming to plead guilty.
Yi Fei's eyelids drooped, and she said with displeasure: "What nonsense! Even if you are worried about my brother, it's not like this! They are brothers and sisters, not enemies. They are eating cold wine and two chopsticks in the dog days, and they are not
If you are sincere and neglectful, you will make a fuss... You are too ignorant, you are already sick, and you are still uneasy... You don't need her to come over, Xianglan, please go over, give her a good scolding on my behalf, and ask her
Do you know if you are wrong... I don't expect her to apologize. I just want her to recover peacefully, and when she is well, she can apologize to the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Fortune Jin..." The last few sentences were addressed to Xianglan.
.
Xianglan responded and followed Sun Jin out.
Sun Jin felt uneasy and said cautiously: "Auntie, I really don't blame our Fujin... You didn't see that not only the wine and watermelon were kept on ice... they were just a few side dishes, and the sauced venison was placed under the head.
Cabbage leaves, ice is used under the cabbage leaves... If it's not intentional, who would believe it..."
Xianglan glanced at him, glanced at the bird's nest in the little palace maid's hand, and hummed: "You talk too much, you don't have the eyesight!"
Sun Jin slapped his mouth and closed it.
Xianglan's expression was tense, but she understood in her heart why the empress was upset.
No one else knows about Brother Jiu's physical condition, but Xianglan is Yifei's confidant, so she knows it.
Therefore, she also saw that when the empress was angry just now, it was not because of Jiu Fujin, but because she was complaining about Ba Age and Ba Fu Jin.
Perhaps Bafujin just arranged the cold wine and cold food just to relieve his anger, but for Brother Jiu, it is taboo now.
The empress has been worried about Brother Jiu these past few days, so it would be strange not to be angry.

Two study rooms.
Shu Shu was looking at her note and wrote down what happened last night.
The description is very objective, including the beginning, development, outbreak and ending of the event.
My anger towards Ba Fujin and my disappointment towards Ba Age...
I secretly feel sorry for my husband, feeling that the eighth elder brother has let down the brotherhood of the ninth elder brother...
Closing the note, Shu Shu was actually in a very happy mood, and she gave ten points to Jiu Age in her heart.
Although he is only a young man, he is responsible in everything he does and knows how to protect her.
However, she also understood that in the future, "emergency incidents" like last night should be avoided.
It was too outrageous and inconsistent with her code of conduct.
And these days, the news from the Second Institute is too intensive, once, twice...
It is not appropriate to make any more noise for a long period of time, otherwise it will give people a bad impression without even saying what is right or wrong.
Among the emperor's eight daughters-in-law, the last one to make news like this every now and then was Ba Fu Jin.
At this time, Shu Shu just wanted to be silent, but did not want to "match" Bafujin.
Shu Shu was quite surprised when Aunt Xianglan came with Sun Jin, but after listening to Xianglan recounting Concubine Yi's "reprimand," she understood the intention.
Concubine Yi, like Brother Jiu, blocked Shu Shu's back and asked her to stay in the second house in the name of "recuperating from illness".
In this way, after she had "reprimanded" her daughter-in-law, it would be difficult for Kangxi or the Queen Mother to go beyond Concubine Yi and discipline her again.
Although it was in line with Shu Shu's original intention, but seeing that Concubine Yi did not even ask a question, she chose to protect her daughter-in-law. Even if she "loves the house and the bird", Shu Shu was grateful and looked ashamed: "I didn't
Okay, I was reckless for a while and bothered the queen to worry about it... I would like to accept my advice. When I feel better, I will go to apologize to the Eighth Master and Ba Fujin, and also go to pay my respects to the queen..."
Xianglan had just delivered the lecture with a straight face, but now her expression softened, and she took the bird's nest box from the hands of the little palace maid: "The empress is thinking about Fujin, and she happened to get a good bird's nest, so she asked the servant to bring it. This is the best for nourishing qi and beauty... Fujin stews it every night
Eat it in one cup, and when it’s gone, just send someone over to get it again..."
Shu Shu answered with uneasiness: "Originally, we thought we were filial to our empress, but we ignored her good things..."
Xianglan only said softly: "My master's heart is most concerned about the health of my brother and Fujin... If both of them are well, my master has nothing else to ask for..."
Shu Shu knew it well and said solemnly: "My father and I are young, and we have to eat and drink well. There is nothing wrong with it..."
After Xianglan left, Shushu returned to Dongshuojian.
In the second main courtyard, the strong smell of medicinal soup continued to float.
Shu Shu took off her hair and slept directly on the kang.
To be honest, during the half month since her wedding, her spirit has been tense, so she might as well take this opportunity to take a good rest.
Xiaochun and Xiaoyu looked at each other and stepped back from the room.
Grandma Zhou is a mature woman. She already understood that Brother Nine was going to beat and punish him last night. The young couple was not really upset, so she calmed down Grandma Qi.
Xiaochun and the others were serving in the upper room, so they saw Shushu and Brother Jiu getting along with each other, so there was nothing to worry about.
Xiao Yu took Xiao Chun to the west room and took out a plain silk purse: "Look what this is?"
The purse is ordinary, but there are two heavy silver ingots inside, one is five taels, and two are ten taels.
Not to mention a single character, even the main room is a high-class seal.
Xiao Chun raised her eyebrows, with a look on her face: "It's that Zhaojia Gege in the backyard again. She's restless and jumping up and down. What does she want to do?"
For several days, the two maids of Zhaojia Gege either chatted with Xiaotang in the front yard because they were bringing food, or because they were out of hair, they got close to Xiaoyu, but they did not dare to go near Xiaochun and Xiaosong.
