The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I originally planned to go to escape the heat this year.
But the envoy from the DPRK changed the time and said he would arrive in Beijing in June. Originally it was said to be in September.
This means we have no choice but to avoid the summer heat.
The ones coming are the Crown Prince and the Third Prince of Chao Kingdom.
The prince is the daughter of the empress, and the third prince is the daughter of a beloved concubine, and they are both older than the empress.
The emperor of Chao is already sixty years old.
The prince was not the eldest son, so he could not prevent his older brothers from trying to win over the ministers.
In addition, the queen of the dynasty was not favored, so his status was very worrying. Although they are already the prince, they are still fighting in the country.
The reason why he came was to make good friends with Dayi Chao and to get Qi Yixiu to support him.
Therefore, this involves a problem. The prince of the Chao Kingdom cannot have trouble in Dayi.
The ones stationed in northern Xinjiang are Jing'an Hou and his son, so the troops in their hands must ensure that the prince can go out well after entering the Yi Dynasty.
So these things are all related to Shen Chuliu Qiqi.
Before Qi Yixiu, he had given an oral instruction telling Shen Chuliu that he could see his family.
After all, she is now one of the nine concubines, so she can naturally let her family members come in to talk.
However, Shen Chuliu refused. She didn't plan to meet. If she needed to meet, it would be after Jing'an Hou came back.
Anyway, he would personally escort the Crown Prince and his entourage to Beijing when the time came.
The palace has begun to prepare, and it is almost May.
So time passed very quickly.
When Shen Chuliu's confinement time was up, she began to vomit without warning.
It was completely dark for a while.
I will vomit whatever I eat, and in severe cases, I will vomit even if I drink water.
The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, but he couldn't drink any medicine.
The food I eat every day is monotonous, but I can’t see the second thing, and I can’t see the ingredients in the stir-fry.
Probably I can only eat white rice without vomiting, and I can’t even drink porridge.
Under such circumstances, even if the ban is lifted, you cannot go out.
Stay with the bed every day.
To be honest, it was fortunate that the emperor wanted to preserve this pregnancy, otherwise Shen Chuliu would be in this situation and his mind would not be able to think at all.
Either vomit or sleep.
Sometimes Qi Yixiu doesn't react when he comes.
Seeing her like this, Qi Yixiu ordered that no one should disturb her and asked her to be kept safely.
Doctor Zhao came to check for pulse the next day.
After vomiting like this for a month, I suddenly felt better again.
I can eat now and I don’t vomit easily anymore.
At this time, the time has entered June.
Shen Chuliu lost a lot of weight, but he is very energetic. Now he can drink some tonic, and his body will recover soon.
My belly isn't bulging much yet, but I can feel it.
During this month, the emperor named the newly born fourth and fifth princes.
The fourth prince's name is Qi Lang, and the fifth prince's name is Qi Xuan. And she also told Shen Chuliu in private that if the boy she gave birth to was a boy, he would be called Qi Yan.
Shen Chuliu thought it was pretty good, but still argued with Qi Yixiu, what if it was a daughter
So the Emperor thought of another girl's name and said that if it was a girl, she would call her Qi Yan.
Shen Chuliu was satisfied.
Because of this, the emperor said that she was making trouble, but she finally got better that day, which was considered a great honor to the emperor.
"Who has slept with the most people this month?" Shen Chuliu felt better and had the energy to ask this question.
Zi Zhu cautiously said: "Ning Chongyi and Su Baolin are the most likely to reply to the master. Li Chongrong also waited on him after he was born. The emperor also went to have lunch with Concubine Yi."
"Just once?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
"Exactly, I went there on the day of confinement, but the emperor disappeared later." Zi Zhu said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "I understand. How are you preparing? How long will it take for the envoy from the DPRK to arrive?"
"The master said that he has now entered our territory of Dayi and will arrive at the imperial city in about five or six days. The slaves are all ready," Zi Rui said.
"That's good. This is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly. I see you had people send a lot of clothes to the Bureau of Civil Service before?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Exactly, I made it for you before, just take it and make some changes. I also sent the fabric. The emperor didn't reward you before, the queen also rewarded you a lot. The slaves are thinking that you will become pregnant. Many of them can’t be worn, so they haven’t been touched for the time being. Most of them are just taking the clothes you made before and embroidering them.”
Zi Zhu said.
"You really know how to plan." Shen Chuliu laughed.
"Speaking of which, the Emperor asked the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take care of the main house. Just move the things here. When you feel better one day, just go out and walk around. The servants will take care of it soon. ." Zi Rui said.
Now that she is one of the nine concubines, she should live in the main house.
"Well, there's no rush. Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs tell me about hiring someone for me?" This is what Shen Chuliu cares about.
She can now have eight maids and four eunuchs.
"I told you, but you are not energetic. They are waiting for you to feel better." Zi Zhu was a little worried: "It's just these times. I'm afraid the people who sent me there may not be honest."
Have you arranged everything that needs to be arranged
"Do you have any candidates?" Shen Chuliu asked: "Don't worry about internal affairs. They are just for the palace. You must not belong to the people who hold the first palace. As for the eunuchs, just ask Yuanxiao to choose three. It doesn’t matter if it’s rough or something.”
Then he called Yuanxiao and explained the matter: "You only need to choose three. It doesn't matter how old you are. Just be reliable. You can be the lead eunuch and tell them that if they do well, they will get anything. If they don't do well, they will be punished." But I’m not a harsh master. As long as I don’t betray my master, everything else is easy to discuss.”
"Yes, I will definitely handle this matter." Yuan Xiao said hurriedly.
"It's the same for you, keep it secret until we find the people. I've been pretending not to go out for a few days. We'll talk about moving after we find the people." Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Zhu and others responded.
They moved very quickly, but the next day, they found everyone.
Shen Chuliu said he knew it, and on the third day, he dressed up and went to Fengzao Palace to pay his respects.
She had been away from Fengzao Palace for more than two months, and now she was three months pregnant and was already pregnant.
Everyone said hello to each other, and Shen Chuliu sat at the head of Ning Chongyi, Li Chongrong and Yi Chongyuan with a smile on her face.
Yes, she has already overwhelmed these people in one fell swoop.
After all, among the nine concubines, the three characters Zhao, Xiu and Chong are distinguished.
Nowadays, Song Zhaoyi is the first among the nine concubines, and Shen Chuliu is already the second.
"I haven't seen Jing Xiuyuan for a long time. How are you doing?" the queen asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Queen, for thinking about me. I don't vomit so much anymore. It's because I don't live up to my expectations. I heard that I'm the only one who vomited like this?" Shen Chuliu stood up and answered. The attitude is the same as before.
