On the morning of the 16th, as soon as Shen Chuliu came out of the Queen's Palace, the emperor summoned her to Tai Chi Palace.
The emperor had an early courtship today, so although he rested at the queen's place, he left very early.
Shen Chuliu asked clearly that he wanted to accompany the driver, so he followed without saying anything.
In the Tai Chi Palace, the emperor saw her and smiled: "Come."
After Shen Chuliu greeted him, he walked over and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to make a lot of news today?"
"My concubine, this is an unnecessary question. I should ask you a lot every day." She added before the emperor could answer.
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Chuliu shook his head: "I got up late today. I drank too much yesterday, so I was in a hurry to say hello. Did your Majesty give me some snacks?"
Shen Chuliu knew it well. He screamed so urgently. What does it mean that the emperor still asked this
It means the emperor didn't eat.
Why don't you find a chance to get together
"Then what kind of snacks are there? On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, let's pass on the meal." Qi Yixiu looked at her: "How much did you drink yesterday?"
He didn't believe this.
"It wasn't much at first, but after I returned, I drank another jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine." This jar was also half a catty full.
Although the concentration is low, you will still get drunk if you drink too much.
"My beloved concubine is such a good drinker." Qi Yixiu didn't know what to say.
"Actually, it's not much. The main reason is that I drank three kinds of wine yesterday, the fruit wine at the banquet, the Chang'an wine given by the emperor, and I drank osmanthus wine when I went back." Shen Chuliu said.
The royal wines are generally Xinfeng wine, Changan wine, Qingquan wine, Yuquan wine, etc.
"That's true, my beloved concubine likes to drink?" Qi Yixiu asked again.
What the concubine said was reasonable, and she didn't just tell him that she didn't feel well after drinking too much.
"It also depends on the time. Last night was just the right time to drink. I usually don't drink."
While talking, the meal was served. Shen Chuliu served soup to the emperor and ate the buns himself.
The breakfast is not that much, but it is also very rich.
Shen Chuliu really didn't eat. She had a bad appetite when she got up, so she got over it after eating a few snacks.
Naturally I am hungry now.
The emperor was very satisfied when he saw that she was enjoying the food so much, and she didn't seem to be pretending not to eat just to use it with him.
After eating and drinking, the emperor did not want to take care of government affairs for a while.
He is a very self-disciplined emperor. Naturally, even if he doesn't want to take care of it for a moment, he knows it well and there will be no backlog or trouble.
"Have you seen the new deer in the animal garden?" the emperor asked.
"No, I have never been to the animal garden." It was too far away and I was too lazy to walk.
"Then I will take you to see it." Qi Yixiu stood up: "Let's go, prepare a step for her, otherwise she will lose her legs when she walks over."
Shen Chuliu thanked the emperor with a smile, but he was really not interested in seeing animals in the summer.
Not to mention it was hot, but it didn't taste good, not to mention she didn't like the act of locking up animals.
But the emperor has spoken, and it’s okay not to listen.
Sitting and walking, he staggered and quickly went to the animal garden.
The animal garden is in the southwest corner of the palace.
Someone had come to report that the emperor was coming to see the new deer, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect it and hurriedly cleaned it up again.
When Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu arrived, they saw a clean animal garden.
In the fence, several wild deer were grazing with their heads down, and they didn't look too sad.
Those were some sika deer, they were really good-looking, and their coat color was pretty good too.
There are also several foxes in the animal garden, as well as red-crowned cranes and white geese.
There's even an elephant and a tiger. But the tiger now looked not as big as she remembered.
Shen Chuliu liked those white geese more. They looked like ordinary geese and were very fat. It moves around when walking, but rarely bites.
She took food from the slaves and fed it to the goose, which made the goose look at her with his head tilted.
It's really hard to imagine that such a lethal animal could be kept so well-behaved.
Shen Chuliu lost interest after feeding the geese, and Qi Yixiu probably took a few glances at the deer and thought it was just like that.
"Next autumn, I will take you hunting." Qi Yi said.
"Okay, or Songshan?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Qingliang Mountain is also fine. Let's see next year." Qi Yixiu looked at her feeding the geese and said with a smile, "My dear wife likes novelty."
"I heard that if ordinary people raise such a big goose, they don't need a dog to guard the door." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu naturally didn't believe it, and the emperor said he had never seen such a fierce goose.
Shen Chuliu didn't explain, but he thought that these geese couldn't peck people even if they hit Xiaojiao.
If the Emperor were to encounter the kind of goose that chases and pecks...
Well, that picture is so beautiful.
There was a little hiccup when I went back.
That is, when passing by Shuyuxuan, I met Lu Xiaoyi. Lu Xiaoyi was dressed up and was obviously waiting for the emperor here.
As for how they knew it, they must have known it when they passed by just now.
Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu were both sitting and waiting, while Lu Xiaoyi stood in the middle of the road to say hello: "I would like to say hello to the emperor, sister Jing."
Qi Yixiu waved his hand to stop the person and looked down at the woman below: "What do you want while you are waiting here?"
Lu Xiaoyi hesitated, what could happen to her...
"Empress Song Zhaoyi has been feeling unwell these past few days..." She made a ready-made cover.
"Is it serious? You didn't notice the morning greetings." Shen Chuliu asked.
"How dare you not go and pay your respects," said Lu Xiaoyi.
"Go and have a look." Qi Yixiu waved his hand, not bothering to expose Lu Xiaoyi's tricks.
The imperial driver then turned around and went to Shuyuxuan.
In Shuyuxuan, Song Zhaoyi was shocked when she heard that the emperor had arrived.
Since she has been living here, the emperor has not visited a few times. She knew that Lu Xiaoyi was out and didn't take it seriously. Now that the emperor came, she was really shocked.
Busy to greet.
Qi Yixiu helped her get up: "Where is my concubine feeling unwell? Have you called the imperial doctor?"
Song Zhaoyi was a little confused... She just had a stomachache when she was little.
"My concubine is fine. She's just slightly unwell. It's not a big problem. There's no need to invite an imperial doctor. Your Majesty will. Jing Meiren comes in to drink tea." Song Zhaoyi said.
Entering inside, Shen Chuliu laughed: "We live in the same place after all, but Lu Xiaoyi was confused when he cared about her. He actually stopped the imperial driver in the street and said that Song Zhaoyi was ill. I was so scared that I thought something was wrong with you."
Lu Xiaoyi is just cutting off her hair.
It's strange that Shen Chuliu endured it.
Song Zhaoyi is an honest person, but no matter how honest she is, she will not allow Lu Xiaoyi to mess around in her name.
His face turned ugly immediately.
Lu Xiaoyi was also embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "I was nervous for a moment. When I saw Yu Jia..."
"It seems that Lu Xiaoyi is not good at learning the rules." Qi Yixiu snorted: "Since you can't learn the rules, there is no need to be Xiaoyi, and you don't have the manners. Just be Baolin."
Lu Xiaoyi... no, now it was Lu Baolin again. She knelt down in shock: "I am in a hurry..."
"It's just a small matter for a woman. I'm a little uncomfortable. Why did you stop the driver on the street? Besides, how do you know why I'm uncomfortable?" Song Zhaoyi spoke unhurriedly, and there was no trace of anger, but Shen Chuliu knew that she must be angry.
