After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it rained all day and all night.
Although this place is located in the south, it has been cold for the time being with this rain.
Shen Chuliu went to Zhao Meiren wearing a cloak.
Zhao Meiren invited her to taste tea.
Zhao Meiren's Qiushui Pavilion has prepared fine tea and snacks.
Waiting for her to come.
As soon as Shen Chuliu came in, he was welcomed in by Zhao Meiren's girls.
Zhao Meiren wears a homely snow-green long double-breasted coat with an ivory white skirt underneath. The coat is embroidered with big flowers.
A loose but beautiful bun, fixed with a plain silver hairpin.
"Here he comes." Zhao Meiren smiled.
"Tell Sister Zhao to wait," Shen Chuliu said.
"What are you talking about? You still have a title. I'm just a bald beauty. How dare you be your sister?" Zhao Meiren pulled her back with a smile.
"It's boring for my sister to be like this. Although I have a title, I entered the palace not long ago. My sister came from a dormitory and is older than me. How can I not stand the word "sister"?" Shen Chuliu scolded.
"Forget it, let's not call them sisters. My niece's name is Wanyue, and I also know your name is Chuliu. Let's call them names." Zhao Meiren said.
"Okay, sister really has a good name." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Amber, make tea quickly." Zhao Meiren also looked at Shen Chuliu angrily.
"Okay, okay, Wanyue Wanyue." Shen Chuliu laughed: "Your girl has a good name, Jin Gui."
"It's not because I was forced. I took her with me when I first entered the house. Her name is Su Lian." Zhao Meiren said.
Shen Chuliu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this a good name?"
"Why are you still crazy? That girl in Fuyang Palace's name is Su Xin. How can I tolerate my girl's name being similar to hers?" Zhao Meiren snorted.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "This is really... how unconfident?"
Dayi Chao really didn't say anything about avoiding names.
Even the emperor's name does not need to be so taboo, not to mention that the Feng family at that time was just the prince Liangdi.
"She is very domineering." Zhao Meiren sneered: "Even if you are polite to me, after all, I didn't have much favor in the beginning. At that time, Li Jieyu and Ning Jieyu suffered a lot at her hands. That is Concubine Yi. When I first entered the house, I was taught by her everywhere."
"At that time, she looked down on the princess who came from the imperial court, and because the queen was young at that time, she always acted like a monster. But the emperor knew it and dealt with her ruthlessly."
"It's a pity that after entering the palace, the eldest prince still..." Zhao Meiren knew that she had made a mistake and stopped talking.
Shen Chuliu didn't continue to ask. Judging from various signs, the eldest prince was lost in Feng's hands.
"Come, drink tea." Zhao Meiren pushed the tea over.
It's green tea, the tea soup is clear and tastes good.
Take a sip and feel astringent but sweet again.
“Good tea.”
"I don't have any other hobbies, I just like drinking tea. I have a bit of stock." Zhao Meiren said with a smile.
After drinking tea for a while and eating snacks, Zhao Meiren said: "The news about what happened the day before yesterday is not good. But if the Queen takes action, it must be fine."
The day before yesterday, we were talking about Lu Baolin.
As for gossip, it was said that Lu Baolin was punished by the emperor for intercepting the emperor in public, and everything in the palace was said.
"I do know something." Zhao Meiren said.
Shen Chuliu knew that this was the highlight of the show. Although Zhao Meiren repeatedly showed her kindness, she was always called here because of something.
"Ms. Lu, didn't you ask yourself to shut up and think about your mistakes? This morning, when my slave was preparing the meal, I overheard something. She is very careful about her diet now. It seems a bit excessive." Zhao Meiren said.
"What does Wanyue mean? Maybe she is pregnant?" Shen Chuliu thought for a while: "The last time she stayed with her was more than a month ago, right?" Mrs. Lu was not favored, and she hadn't seen him once in a month.
It is simply much worse than Shen Chuliu in the first year.
"It's very possible. You also need to make plans. I think she has such a vengeful temperament, so I'm afraid she won't forget these things easily." Zhao Meiren said.
It seems that many people in the palace know Lu's true nature.
"There's nothing I can do. I can't do anything to harm someone's heirs. If it were to happen, the child would most likely not be raised by others. Even if she couldn't be asked to raise it herself because of the rules for a while, sooner or later it would It’s still hers.”
The Lu family's family status was left there, and it was impossible to make things difficult for the Lu family just because of the emperor's attitude towards Taifu Lu.
Even if she is not pregnant, the current situation cannot always be like this.
or…
Lu's sister is almost the same age. Will the emperor change her
But now if the Lu family really has one, it's hard to say.
After returning from Qiushui Pavilion, Zi Rui said: "Master, if the Lu family really has one... how wonderful it would be."
"What can I do? Don't worry. Even if she gives birth to a child, what can she do to me?" Shen Chuliu said.
"Master, you have to be careful, you yourself..." Zi Rui whispered: "Isn't it time for you to be prepared?"
Shen Chuliu shook his head gently: "Let's talk next year."
"Master!" Zi Rui was extremely anxious.
"Okay, calm down. You are my eldest girl. If you are not steady, what will the others do?" Shen Chuliu squeezed her hand.
Zi Rui had no choice but to remain silent for a while and said, "I'll go and order lunch."
"Well, go ahead and don't be in a hurry. This is just Zhao Meiren's guess and may not be accurate." Shen Chuliu said and waved his hand.
Zi Rui goes out and Zi Zhu comes in to help her change.
That night, the emperor went to Yunyan Pavilion.
Ning Jieyu also hasn't slept with her for a while.
Compared with Lu, who was simply a figure that the emperor needed, Ning Jieyu was more special.
At night, Shen Chuliu was talking to the girls and mentioned this matter: "The emperor still treats Ning Jieyu differently."
Zhemei thought for a while and said, "Firstly, Ning Jieyu had a miscarriage. Secondly, although she sometimes cannot speak, she is still in peace with the world. Thirdly, she is also an old man in Qiandi."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "As long as they don't harm me, we can't control anything else."
Several girls nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether she is pregnant or not, Mrs. Lu has no intention of telling her at the moment.
Shen Chuliu didn't interfere in this matter. He had to be on guard against others. Even if Zhao Meiren acted harmlessly, he still couldn't be on guard at all.
So she just had to wait and see, it would take a while, and there was no need to worry about anything.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. When the weather gradually got colder, it was Yi Fei's illness.
Lingering.
In the middle of September, there were two heavy rains in succession, and the temperature dropped sharply.
Even though this place is half south and half north, it's freezing cold.
Shen Chuliu used charcoal fire here, which is also convenient. If the weather gets hot, he can just take it out.
Shen Chuliu also put on thick clothes, wrapped in a small fox fur cloak, which looked good and kept warm.
Nowadays, some people have bred foxes, and these furs are not from wild foxes.
