Shen Chuliu looked back: "People are naturally different. But the desire to live well is the same."
Yi Chongyuan took a deep breath: "Fortunately, I didn't do anything to Jing Xiuyuan."
"Last year, I was admiring the epiphyllum in the imperial garden, and met the emperor and Su, who was still the imperial daughter. This year, will the first batch of epiphyllums bloom again?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Jing Xiuyuan is pregnant with a child this year, so we can't wait for the flowers to bloom."
"Well, I'm going to ask for a pot this year." Shen Chuliu turned to look at the scenery again.
The two of them sat like this for a long time, until it got dark, and then they went back.
Shen Chuliu's dinner was naturally late, so Zirui and the others hurriedly served it.
After dinner, Yuanxiao came to report that the emperor had found Su Baolin's brand again and that he had gone to Tai Chi Palace.
Recently, the emperor calls Su Baolin to his bed most often.
Li Chongrong, who was born in confinement, was not as good as him.
Shen Chuliu waved his hands without any reaction. After Yuanxiao went out, Shen Chuliu laughed and said, "How can I be beautiful?"
"Yes, if it works, how can you sneak out of the mansion and do such a bad job?" Zhemei said: "I thought your face was new to me before. The emperor only went there a few times. Now I'm afraid you have let go again." . But no matter what, she is much better than before."
Even if the emperor visits once every few months, it will be better than not seeing the emperor all year round, right
Shen Chuliu nodded, no.
She didn't care much about where the emperor went now. The reason why she paid attention was to see which way the wind was blowing.
She is pregnant with her own child, and she won't be able to take care of her for some time, so what's the rush
Nothing will happen to her here this year. Concubine Feng Shu's troubles have been calmed down.
After all, An Sheng gave birth to a child, and if we fight again, we will see who comes next year.
Shen Chuliu lived very peacefully here, but there were also uneasy places in the palace.
For example, in Changle Palace, Concubine Yi fell ill again.
Said he suffered from the heat.
Shen Chuliu listened to Yao Baolin's words: "I said he was sweating all over his body, but he didn't need iceberg. He had a severe cough, and it didn't get better even after taking medicine. He lost a lot of weight in a few days."
Shen Chuliu shook his head: "It's really..."
"I heard that it's not just the heat this time." Yao Baolin whispered: "I think things will get better after Concubine Yi receives the letter from home."
"What does this mean?" Shen Chuliu was curious: "Aren't all the officials in her family a minor official? They haven't made any mistakes for many years, right?"
"It's not that something happened at home. I'm afraid she's also running for the draft next year, right?" Yao Baolin shook his head: "She is an ordinary person, but she can become the emperor's favorite concubine. Her family doesn't know how to burn incense. Now her family probably knows that she is not well. Okay. Or maybe I know she can’t have children..."
"I've tasted the benefits, how can I be willing to let go? It's said that Concubine Yi still has two younger sisters." Yao Baolin shook his head.
"Angry? Tsk, that's possible. She's so ill, and she still has this idea at home." Shen Chuliu laughed. Maybe everyone in the world is the same
Why are they all so...disgusting
"That's probably what happened. But his family is thinking in vain. Although there will be a general election next year, it won't be their family's turn to count how many officials there are in various places. Besides, the number of people who come to the palace is limited. Look. There will only be six left in the first election after the emperor ascended the throne. I’m afraid there won’t be too many this time.”
Besides, Concubine Yi was able to enter the palace back then because the emperor was not the emperor at that time.
It's just a choice of people to serve, not the Crown Princess and Liang Di.
Naturally, there is no need to have a high family status.
But now it is difficult for someone with a family background like Yi Fei to get in easily.
Shen Chuliu was amused: "The Emperor is a piece of cake, and everyone wants to get in on it."
Yao Baolin asked carefully: "After the new year, the girls in your family will also come in?" "It's not a secret, the fifth girl is coming in." Shen Chuliu said calmly.
"Then, it's okay to move in when the time comes. At least you will protect me." Yao Baolin said.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Why are you testing me? What should I do to protect her? As long as I still have some favor, no one else can enter Cuiyunxuan."
"I'm not testing you...I...hey...I just want to ask." Yao Baolin said embarrassedly.
She must know what's going on so she can correct her attitude.
"It's okay, don't come in, she's my cousin. Come in, everyone is the emperor's concubine. Whether you survive or not, whether you live well or not depends on your ability."
"Yes, hey, that's right... Why bother? It's not like you're powerless." Yao Baolin sighed.
"Who said I don't have a mother who can let them handle it?" Shen Chuliu smiled sweetly: "That's all, let's not talk about it. I like to eat snacks recently, let's eat some together."
Yao Baolin nodded, and soon Zi Zhu brought some freshly baked snacks from the kitchen. There were all kinds of snacks, sweet and salty, soft and hard, and there were actually twelve kinds.
Everything is beautiful, but not much.
Cuiyunxuan was busy eating snacks.
The atmosphere in Changle Palace was solemn.
As soon as the imperial doctor was sent away, Fu Xiang and Chen Xiang whispered in their ears.
"I'm afraid it won't be good if your empress is like this." Chen Xiang said worriedly.
Fuxiang sighed: "My queen was not willing to relax, but now she is not worried about everything. She is better now. It was said that a few years ago, there were still some things at home. It was said that the brother of the imperial concubine specially asked for one when they got married. The jewelry is said to be made in-house, so it’s decent.”
"Really, my mother-in-law's family is honored, our mother-in-law's mother-in-law... what are you thinking? Your mother-in-law is really good, and they are good? You actually have such an idea?" Chen Xiang said hatefully.
"I won't say it any more. If you are like this, you can only persuade her, otherwise there is nothing you can do."
"Sister, tell me, if Su Baolin is pregnant with a child now, will our mother-in-law still have a chance?" Chen Xiang brought up the old matter again.
Fuxiang bit her lip for a long time and shook her head: "Stop thinking."
The empress herself is already dying, so how can the emperor raise a child for her
How did you know that there was no such reason for your illness this time
The fifth prince and the third princess were both raised in Ruiqing Palace, and they had no intention of giving them to the empress. Even if you bring the third princess. My wife can be better too.
If we don’t give it now, can we still give it in the future
Unless the empress toughens up, that is basically impossible.
As long as you don't let go of your temper, you will only be good and bad in the future.
In the inner room, Yi Fei opened her eyes in a daze, not knowing what to think. She looked at the painting fan while she was dozing, and she was silent for a long time.
She vaguely understood why the emperor never promoted her mother-in-law in these years.
She maintains her aloofness and will never ask for this.
The emperor never mentioned it.
Today, she understands, because her natal family has never been looked down upon by the emperor, so unworthy, so short-sighted...
She felt very embarrassed, as embarrassed as if she had been stripped naked and thrown on the street, ashamed.
After a long while, she sighed and closed her eyes again.
