After the rebirth, Aijia and Bamboo Horseshoe printed him

Zhou Shuhe heard Qi Yu groan.

She hadn't fully recovered yet, she looked at him blankly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Before she finished speaking, she discovered the reason, probably because of fear, she didn't know when, her right hand tightly held Qi Yu's palm curled up in her sleeve.

She retracted abruptly as if she had been burned, her fingertips were faintly white, one could imagine how much force she had used just now, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's nothing," Qi Yu withdrew his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, my lady."

Zhou Shuhe didn't answer. He fidgeted with his hands on the wooden chair and made a creaking sound. After a while, he said, "I want to squat on the ground for a while. I don't look very polite. Don't laugh at me."

Qi Yu shook his head: "The weather is cold, squatting on the ground is not good for your body, can I take off your shoes for you, take off your shoes and put your feet on the chair, you can also curl yourself up."

She was still a little dazed, she nodded and said yes, then she didn't say anything, Qi Yu smiled, knelt on the ground and reached out to help her take off her shoes, revealing a pair of white socks inside.

From Zhou Shuhe's perspective, he could only see the whirls on the top of Qi Yu's head. He was clearly such a gentle and tolerant man, but there were three whirlpools on top of his head, so rebellious that people inexplicably wanted to take a second look.

"Okay, now, would it be better to lift your legs up and step on the chair, and hug yourself?" Qi Yu looked up at her, "You've grown up, and you're not as self-willed as before. You can deal with uncomfortable things. You adjusted it yourself, right?"

Zhou Shuhe let out a muffled "En", curled up listening to his words, put his chin on his knees again, hugged his legs with one hand, but lowered the other hand, and slowly stroked his forehead.

"Are you unwell?" she said, "Your complexion is not very good, and you are sweating on your forehead."

Qi Yu couldn't stand her gentle touch, and subconsciously wanted to hide back, but he held back, he didn't want to go against her when Zhou Shuhe was afraid.

"No, maybe the charcoal fire in the house is too hot."

"That's it...then you go and put out the charcoal. Just now I saw you with your hands in your sleeves. You thought you were standing outside for a long time and asked someone to burn the charcoal."

Qi Yu shook his head again, and said with some worry: "It's better to be more prosperous, you are still shaking."

Zhou Shuhe couldn't help laughing, put down his arms and put them around his body, and while laughing, he heard his voice shaking until his teeth were clinking: "You get up first. You were stupid when you said you were smart. I am not shivering because of the cold. I am shaking." It’s just not fully adjusted.”

"I'm still a little scared." She murmured.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Zhou Shuhe actually wanted someone to hug her, but forget it, just a little more time, she can bear it by herself.

The sun slowly moved to the west, she stared at the shadow in the room and stayed quietly for a while, feeling really recovered, moved her buttocks, and found that the position of shrinking on the chair was quite comfortable, so she didn't want to put her legs down again He hugged himself and talked to Qi Yu.

"Qi Yu, I'm not afraid of His Majesty. I feel that his behavior is so terrifying. I feel pity for someone's fate and want to save Yunyun. No, I'm just afraid that I will be treated like this by Your Majesty. I entered the palace because I want to To make myself and the Zhou family better, not to make things worse."

Belief in sorcery, cruelty to concubines, these things are indeed heartbreaking, but they are not much crueler than Yizi Shishi.

It's not that she can't bear the cruelty of human nature, but what really makes Zhou Shuhe feel fear and even despair is that no matter which path she chooses, she can't escape the fate of being an ant and being at the mercy of others.

"I know." Qi Yu said.

"Then do you know that I also have a red mole like that?"

Qi Yu took a deep look at her: "I know."

"???"

She was a little surprised, stared at him for a while, curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I won't ask you how you know, anyway, you know everything."

Qi Yu pursed her lips and apologized in embarrassment: "It was me, Meng Lang."

"Don't talk about that." Zhou Shuhe leaned back in the chair, which made her feel very comfortable. "I'm thinking it's not that bad, it's just a little bit different than we thought.

"Before we thought that His Majesty was willing to choose me as a concubine because he had a lingering affection for Mrs. Bai that he had never thought of. Now that I think about it, it was actually more because of this mole. The nun who did the body check before entering the palace would take the mole from Xiu Nu's body. Every detail is recorded in the book, and it should be that before seeing my face, His Majesty fell in love with my mole."

"But now that I have been in the palace for nearly ten days, His Majesty has neither favored me from the beginning, nor applied the 'secret method' to me. Perhaps it is because he is not in a hurry to make incense with a newcomer, but this is different from the concubine's concubine. If the words do not match, then there is only one possibility left.”

Qi Yu nodded and said, "When your Majesty handles government affairs, he is used to putting the melodies of courtiers with similar uses in one pile, and it must be the same with concubines."

"Yes," Zhou Shuhe sighed, "The four concubines of Yihe Palace, except for Liu Jieyu who is in charge of the affairs of the palace, the three of us are all medicines for His Majesty. He is not in a hurry to apply the secret method to me. Maybe there's already another candidate."

Chen Qingming, Chen Baolin.

In addition to Zhou Shuhe being promoted to Baolin by two consecutive ranks, there was also a small incident that happened in the harem today.

His Majesty withdrew the green head card that was supposed to be the newcomer Shen Shunv, chose Chen Baolin from Yihe Palace to serve as his bedside, and sent many rewards.

When the palace people came with the rewards, Chen Qingming happened to be talking in Liu Jieyu's palace. Liu Jieyu looked at the rewards intently and didn't speak for a long while.

"Sister Liu, is there something wrong?" Chen Qingming asked suspiciously.

Liu Jieyu was startled, and forced herself to regain her natural expression, praising how precious the spice "Yunguichu" in the reward is, taking a bath with it every day can beautify the complexion.He also said that the emperor gave her this thing because he must have her in his heart, and only the concubine Xiang in the palace could get this reward. In the end, he appropriately expressed his subtle emotions of liking her and liking her, but vaguely envious.

Joking about having time for a cup of tea, Liu Jieyu politely sent her back on the pretext that she still had to take care of Concubine Xiang.

In fact, she has always disliked Chen Qingming, a lowly person who crawled out of her concubine's stomach. At the age of six, she did something despicable because of jealousy. No one in the capital looked down on her, only Mrs. Shan, raised this lowly embryo with care, and sent it to the palace to be a concubine.

But no matter how much you don't like her, despise her, or loathe her, after all, it's someone you've been with for three years, and she doesn't want to harm her.

Liu Jieyu's appearance is not good, whether it's her reputation in the boudoir when she was a child, or her position as Jieyu now, it's all due to her background and the attitude she cultivated from a superior background.She has always been the most comfortable in social situations, but just now she dared not look Chen Qingming in the eye.

It's just that I have done everything, and thinking about it is a bit hypocritical and ridiculous.

She rubbed her temples, and called Xichun, a court lady with a strong letter: "Your Majesty sent someone to bring the 'Yungui Chu' to Chen Baolin, and the Zhou family was promoted to Baolin by two ranks. It's a decision. We should send more people to guard the dark room, if there is a lack of people, call Roubi to send people to guard, Sanyan Corpse Worms are not easy to raise, so don't make any mistakes."

"In addition, during this period of time, send whatever is delicious and useful to Chen Baolin's Wang Yunxuan. It can be regarded as accumulating some virtue for this palace."

Xi Chunfu said he was, hesitated for a moment, and then talked about another matter.
