Shen Ruochen didn't know how he survived. Finally, it was time for lunch, and the morning's activity of kneeling and praying was finally over.
Those who are concubines and above can go to the side room on the west side of the Queen Mother's Palace to eat and rest. Those below the concubine's rank are directly led to a corner room with a large shop where everyone can rest together.
Everyone was extremely tired, but in the Queen Mother's palace, there were so many people, and no one wanted to say they were tired. They all pretended that kneeling was good and it was an honor. Shen Ruochen didn't care about this. He sat on the kang with his buttocks and rubbed it hard into it so that his legs could be straightened and his blood vessels revitalized.
Little Walnut asked in a low voice, "Little Master, do you need me to ask you for two hot eggs for your compress?"
Shen Ruochen curled his lips, shook his head slightly, and whispered, "With so many people watching, I'm not sure what to say."
"How about the young master and slave go out?"
"Forget it," Shen Ruochen said tiredly, "It's better to avoid causing trouble. I have to kneel down in the afternoon after applying it, which is even more uncomfortable. It's better to leave it like this. It will be fine when the pain goes away. But please help me with one thing."
Shen Ruochen looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered, "You can find a way to go back to the palace and get the 'kneel down for comfort' we made before, otherwise my knee will be destroyed, my little master."
Little Walnut looked at everyone and said, "Little Master, even if my slave brings it back, you can't take it with you! There are so many people watching."
"It's okay, I have an idea. Go back and get it quickly. By the way," Shen Ruochen warned, "Bring an extra pair and give one to Sister Jin Fei."
"My little master is so kind-hearted, you are still thinking of others," Little Walnut muttered, and took the opportunity to sneak out while delivering food.
After Shen Ruochen finished eating the vegetarian food, he didn't care about his image anymore and just lay down on the kang. There were at most two people sitting in the corner of the Kang, while the others were still sitting on chairs. Seeing Shen Ruochen lying down like this, they all laughed.
"Shen promised, oh, no, Chang Shen is here, what are you doing lying here like this!"
"Yes, is it possible that you don't care about your image so much? Although the emperor treats you...but you are also the emperor's concubine. If word spreads like this, even the servants will not look like you!"
When one person speaks, everyone joins in, as if speaking to others will reflect how noble they are.
Shen Ruochen lay down on the kang unceremoniously and hummed, "You can't rest if you can. It's best if you don't rest when you go back to your palace at night. Don't ask for hot water or eggs. The imperial kitchen is here Not even what you want. It would be embarrassing if word gets out!"
"You...why did you say that? We...we were going to wash up and sleep at night."
"Yeah, who doesn't want hot water at night?"
"Yes, you are all right," Shen Ruochen turned over comfortably and lay on the kang, looking at the people surrounding him, and said sarcastically, "Whatever you like, you should take care of yourselves. If you don't care about others, you might as well make your neck longer, preferably as long as the big white goose, that will be of great use!"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. I don't understand what Shen Ruochen means.
Shen Ruochen hummed directly, "Your neck has become longer, so you can pull it up! When the emperor was here just now, didn't you all pull your neck out? That neck is stretched out, tsk tsk!"
After everyone was told this clearly, everyone was filled with indignation, and they all said bad things about Shen Ruochen. Some of them were even more angry and wanted to go up and stretch Shen Ruochen's clothes.
"Who dares to touch me?" Shen Ruochen's eyes stood up, and everyone suddenly remembered the beating of Xiangbi in the morning, and they didn't dare to take action, and they gradually stopped talking.
Sure enough, Sister Jin Fei was right, these people are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
"Look at you, what are you doing? Do you know who this is? You still dare to say that, she is the god-sister of Concubine Jin! The adoptive mother of the third brother! She has a distinguished status!" Suddenly a voice came from the crowd, everyone They all turned around, it was with the noble man!
Also, at this time, only people like He Guiren, who came from a good family background and were relatively favored, dared to speak. Shen Ruochen looked at He Guiren and hummed, "Why, He Guiren also come up and lie down? There is such a big place!"
"It's big, but do you know why this kang is so big?" He Guiren ignored Shen Ruochen and said to everyone.
Everyone shook their heads, and one person said, "Yeah, what's weird? Even the guest room here is not like this Datongpu!"
"Yes! Yes!" Everyone looked at Mr. He and begged Mr. He to explain something.
He Guiren smiled proudly, "You are not a Manchu surname. You don't understand this! This is changed according to the rules of our Manchu hometown. The main purpose is just in case the Queen Mother... But this is unlucky. There has to be a living person sleeping, so those eunuchs take turns staying here overnight. The main reason is to breathe in the yang energy of this living person. What they are doing, of course, is to pray for blessings!"
After saying this to the noble man, the few people who were sitting by the kang were so frightened that they suddenly stood up, for fear that the yang energy of responsibility would be sucked away. They all hid far away from the kang.
When Shen Ruochen heard this, his back felt numb and he stared at He Guiren, wondering if this was true or not?
He Guiren said again, "This is what those eunuchs are very taboo about. It is the ones who clean up the outside every day, and those who are incompetent are forced to sleep here. If you don't believe me, look at it. Is there a quilt in the corner?" It seems that some people are afraid to sleep and spend the night on the ground. Shen Changzai is indeed very filial to the Queen Mother, and he directly uses his yang energy to pray for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother may be very happy when she finds out!"
Everyone looked at Shen Ruochen with strange eyes, which frightened Shen Ruochen to sit up in a hurry, and said with a smile to the noble man, "What are you doing? You were lying down just now, but you are mocking our sisters, why? Did you sit up as soon as you heard the blessing for the Queen Mother? Could it be that... you don't want to wish the Queen Mother good health?"
How big is your grandma?
Shen Ruochen cursed in his heart, this Heguiren is so bad, no wonder she frowned just now and didn't even want to enter this room, so that's what happened.
Someone immediately echoed, "Yes! Shen Changzai, our sisters didn't want to go to the kang in the first place. Without this blessing, you would be lying on the kang. Don't get down. Otherwise, you won't be able to pray for the Queen Mother." What?"
"That's right! Shen Changzai, our sisters are all here to accompany you, so please pray for the Queen Mother! Even if it costs us one of our lives, if we can exchange for the Queen Mother's health, that will also be our blessing! "
What a blessing!
Shen Ruochen was placed on the kang, neither lying down nor getting down. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but why do I feel cold on my back and my head is a little dizzy?
