Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"Sun Wenzhong."

Emperor Jiaheng called out softly.

"The slave understands."

Sun Wenzhong also had a sullen face.

He has too many things on his plate, and there are times when he can't attend to everyone, allowing some people to escape unscathed.

He made a mistake in not overseeing this matter.

Emperor Jiaheng didn't reprimand him in front of Shu Jiao, which was also to save face for the old man. When he investigates next, he'll have to be extremely careful, allowing no mistakes or omissions.

Shu Jiao pretended not to understand the meaning of the master and servant, and then went on to tell a few more gossips.

Holding the final payment from Jiahengdi—

A Hetian jade seal is gone.

The rest was left to Emperor Jiaheng and Sun Wenzhong to handle.

She then went back to get the roster and chose a good husband for Honeysuckle.

It's really hard to find.

Among the people in the palace, there are plenty of people who are ambitious, willing to take a gamble, and have excellent looks, figure, and family background.

But I'd like to find someone honest and reliable, hmm...

It's quite difficult.

It's either this part that doesn't fit, or that part that's not right.

Shu Jiao was overwhelmed by the choices.

Through her persistent efforts, she eventually broadened her perspective and looked towards the entire capital city.

But this raises another question—

She cannot leave the palace for the time being.

Fortunately, there's no rush; we can wait a little longer.

When Shu Jiao had nothing to do, she would share all sorts of gossip about the harem with Emperor Jiaheng. She was so well-informed that Emperor Jiaheng could even know exactly what a certain concubine whispered to her head maid at night.

Emperor Jiaheng expressed his approval.

Apart from……

That evening, when it was time to choose a concubine at Jiahengdi.

Looking down at the green plaque that read "Consort Yi" all over, he glanced at Shu Jiao and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "How much did Consort Yi give you to make you work so hard?"

Please reduce the level a bit.

Yesterday, at least there were Consort Liang, Consort Xian, Consort De, and others, making a total of five or six options.

Today is much better.

Only Consort Yi remains.

Anyone would know there's a problem!

"This number."

Shu Jiao casually held up a number, "There's nothing I can do, Consort Yi is just too generous."

As she spoke, Shu Jiao took out a box and handed it to Emperor Jiaheng, "Your Majesty, I'll give you half."

Emperor Jiaheng: ...

He raised his hand to accept the box, saying, "Consort Yi is quite nice."

She is the only one fit to be the palace's benevolent attendant.

If Consort Yi's misdeeds are ever exposed, he will absolutely not pursue the matter as long as he can find someone to take the blame.

After all, only he himself knew best how much of his private treasury had been filled by Consort Yi's family.

"What about the Emperor?"

Shu Jiao asked with a smile, glancing down at the box he had just received, "Are you going?"

"cough."

Emperor Jiaheng coughed lightly, "It has indeed been a long time since I have seen Consort Yi."

Shu Jiao laughed silently.

Sun Wenzhong stood at the back, eyes downcast, pretending not to see anything.

As soon as Emperor Jiaheng left, he immediately followed.

He had only taken a couple of steps, and hadn't even left the main hall, when a large gold ingot appeared in his sleeve.

Sun Wenzhong looked up at Shu Jiao.

Shu Jiao raised an eyebrow at him.

The two smiled in tacit understanding.

Who ordered the Imperial Household Department to make so many green headbands for Consort Yi?

It wasn't Sun Wenzhong.

Therefore, it's not unreasonable to share some of the money with him.

Let's make money together.

Shu Jiao walked slowly towards Yihe Hall, parallel to Sun Wenzhong.

Upon hearing the sound of the ban on firecrackers, Consort Yi's eyes lit up. "I knew it! Shu Jiao is a good person to be around."

They only do things if they get paid!

"Your Majesty~~"

Consort Yi twisted her waist, waved her handkerchief, and went up.

The night is long and the palace is lonely. Let's have a child.

……

"Sister Shu."

The next day, the investor came knocking on their door.

Linglong, carrying a box full of solid gold melon seeds, looked slightly troubled. "Our Lady has finally recovered from the grief of losing her son, and look at this..."

She didn't dare ask why Shu Jiao took the money but didn't do anything.

We can only give you more.

"I see."

Shu Jiao nodded, packing things with practiced ease. "I've been putting your concubine's nameplate first for several days in a row, but the Emperor..."

no way.

Consort Yi is far too generous. With the small deposit you gave, she'll have a hard time helping you with anything.

But with this box of golden melon seeds, that's enough.

"How can this be good?"

Linglong sighed softly.

"Let Grandpa Sun and I think of another way."

Shu Jiao frowned slightly. "It will be within the next two or three days at the latest. Tell your mistress to send some sweet soup and nourishing broth to the Emperor when she has time, so we can help by offering our support."

"Good good."

Linglong readily agreed, "I'll trouble you and Eunuch Sun to put in some extra effort."

Having just dealt with Linglong, Shujiao turned the corner and ran into Mozhu, the head maid of the demoted Consort Hui.

Before I could even speak, a rosewood box inlaid with mother-of-pearl was shoved into my hand.

"Ouch, sister~"

Mo Zhu chuckled softly, her face showing a hint of anxiety. "Good sister, please, when you have time, mention my master's name to the Emperor."

Shu Jiao weighed the box in her hand; it was quite heavy.

It doesn't look cheap.

"Consort Hui... sigh~"

Shu Jiao frowned. "Mo Zhu, it's not that I don't want to help Consort Hui. But Consort Liang's child... His Majesty still remembers him. How can I bring this up?"

"Sister Lao, please help me. My master is also innocent in this tragedy because of Consort Liang."

Mo Zhu looked aggrieved, as if she really didn't know how Consort Liang lost her child.

She sighed softly, "The Second Prince is... My master is in tears every day, it's so heartbreaking."

Consort Hui had not seen Emperor Jiaheng even after being confined for so many days.

In the past, she wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

Because she also has a grown-up second prince under her wing.

but!

The Second Prince was sent to Prince Ren's residence by Emperor Jiaheng last time, and he has not returned to his own residence yet. Emperor Jiaheng has not agreed to let the Second Prince return to the court.

So long.

If there's still no movement from the Second Prince's side, the court officials should assume that Emperor Jiaheng has given up on him.

How could Consort Hui not be anxious?

Shu Jiao understood Consort Hui's thoughts perfectly, so...

This box isn't enough.

"This is a difficult matter for me too."

Shu Jiao touched the mother-of-pearl inlay on the box and said meaningfully.

Ink Bamboo: ...

Everyone says you have a big appetite, and the rumors are indeed true.

But Mozhu had no other choice.

Sun Wenzhong also sent a gift, hoping that they would mention it when they had the chance, and Shu Jiao naturally couldn't be left out either.

"With the Emperor's trust in you so much, even the biggest problems are just small matters in your hands."

As she spoke, Mozhu handed over another purse, "As long as you're willing to help, my lady will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Money is no problem as long as you're willing to help!

"Then I'll think of a way."

Shu Jiao touched her purse and calmly expressed her stance.

After finishing, they turned around and exchanged messages with Sun Wenzhong. The two of them clicked their tongues several times in succession.

Shu Jiao: "I never expected that Consort Hui would be so generous."

"Don't underestimate Consort Hui; she's just low-key. The Second Prince has sent her plenty of tributes in the past."

Sun Wenzhong took out a purple jade pendant. "It was given to me by Consort Hui. I don't need it, but you can wear it for fun. It suits your skin tone quite well."

Shu Jiao returned a box of melon seeds to him, saying, "These were given to you by Consort Liang. You can use them to give to your godsons."

The two exchanged a knowing "hehe" laugh.

"Where is the Emperor?"

Sun Wenzhong lowered his head and asked softly.
