The queen glanced at her and said: "Meimei Cao is still young and ignorant. You will understand later. Li Jieyu, you have been wronged too. I have a pair of bracelets here. It is not a good thing. Let me wear it for you to play with."
"I'd like to thank you, the Empress, for the reward. Sister Cao is pregnant for the first time, so she's naturally surprised, and I'm also happy." Li Jieyu said with a smile.
The queen smiled faintly: "That's good. There are young heirs in the palace. The emperor has been on the throne for four years. In the past few years, he was observing filial piety. Now that the filial piety period has been over for more than a year, it is finally a happy event."
"The Queen is the most virtuous. What a blessing to my concubines. They are also looking forward to the Queen giving birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible. That is the hope of our great Yi Dynasty, isn't it?" Feng Shufei said with a smile.
The queen still smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter whether I have children or not. Whatever you give birth to is my children."
Shen Chuliu praised it in his heart. To be a queen, you must have this domineering attitude.
Sure enough, Concubine Feng Shu felt embarrassed.
"Speaking of which, Concubine Yi has served the emperor the most. Why has there been no movement in her belly since she was in Qiandi? You have been serving the emperor for six years, right?" He Xiuyi aimed at Concubine Yi again.
"Aren't you very happy if I don't give birth?" Concubine Yi said rudely: "Next time He Xiuyi is promoted to the throne, He Xiuyi should be He Zhaoyi, right?"
Everyone laughed. It is said that those who have children will be second-grade concubines next time, right
This concubine is also bad, and she still expects her to stay in the ninth concubine.
"Okay, I have nothing to do today, let's get going." The queen didn't like hearing this and stood up directly.
Everyone resigned and left Fengzao Palace.
"If Concubine Yi is free, come and sit in my palace. I have good tea given by the Queen Mother." Feng Shufei said with a smile.
Concubine Yi nodded: "Then go and harass the empress."
As soon as the two of them left, they whispered behind her that Empress Dowager Feng was the first wife of the late emperor, and now she was Empress Dowager Li's biological son.
Nowadays, the two queen mothers are in harmony, who knows what will happen next.
This Empress Dowager Li's natal mother did not send anyone in. Li Jieyu and Li Baolin in the harem were all named Li, but they were not from the Empress Dowager's natal family.
Yao Baolin and Shen Chuliu were walking, and Lu Baolin caught up behind them: "The weather is nice today, why don't sisters go sit in the Royal Garden?"
"Then just sit down. It'll be fine if you go back anyway." Yao Baolin said.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "I won't go, you go, I'll walk over to Taolin, I'm sleepy."
The two people didn't say anything. She has always been like this.
The two of them walked to the Royal Garden. It was May, the peonies had just finished blooming, and it was a good time for the pomegranates to bloom.
The imperial palace of Dayi Dynasty was very large and occupied a lot of space. There is a small lake enclosed within it, called Luming Lake. Legend has it that when the palace was first built, there were wild deer by the lake.
Of course it is gone now.
Shen Chuliu took Zi Rui to the peach grove. The peach blossoms had withered for a long time. There was nothing interesting here, but it was just clean.
"If this beauty Cao can give birth to a prince, she will be honored." Zi Rui whispered.
"Then it has to be born. Ning Cairen had a miscarriage before when she was pregnant." Shen Chuliu shook his head gently. It has never been so easy to raise children in this harem.
"It's true, but if you be careful, you may not be able to give birth." Zi Rui said softly, "It would be a good thing if Baolin could have an heir."
"How can anyone think about this issue of heirs?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile: "We can't care about this. What I'm worried about is the Queen Mother's Qianqiu. What kind of gift can I give you? Although I am only Baolin, I can't No." "Speaking of which, we don't have much time left, and we have prepared a lot." Zi Rui fanned her.
Shen Chuliu sat in front of the stone table and fanned himself: "What I'm saying is that I don't have any good skills. Before I entered the palace, I couldn't play chess, calligraphy, or painting, nor could I sing or dance. I thought I would just rely on my reputation to live in the palace. , but when I came in, I found that my face was not very good." Shen Chuliu laughed: "I am so worried now, I can only choose something expensive and beautiful to give. I hope the Queen Mother will not dislike it."
The later emperor Qi Yixiu was amused. What kind of concubine is this? He feels that he can't do anything
"Let me see, which concubine is so unsure of herself?" When he got the bad taste, he didn't care about scaring the concubine.
Shen Chuliu cursed in his heart: Damn it, why did the emperor listen to the wall? I was thinking about how much this person has listened to
However, he did not dare to hesitate and stood up to greet the emperor.
"Kowtow to the emperor, may the emperor be blessed."
"Everyone, get up. Is this Shen Baolin?" the emperor asked the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch smiled apologetically: "That's right. I think Baolin came out of the Queen's palace."
"When I came back to the emperor, I just asked An to come out. I was a little sleepy, so I just took a walk and had a look." Shen Chuliu said cautiously.
"Oh? That's strange. The pomegranate flowers in the Royal Garden are blooming at the right time. Why don't you come to see the peach blossoms that have thanked you? Is it possible that my beloved concubine still cherishes flowers?" Qi Yixiu smiled kindly.
Shen Chuliu glanced at the emperor and said in his heart that this man was really born with good looks.
Wearing a silver-white robe, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, and two thin yellow ribbons hung down, making his temples even sharper. A pair of sword-shaped eyebrows are matched with a pair of red phoenix eyes.
Qi Yixiu has the most beautiful eyes.
When smiling, these eyes are very charming, but when angry, they are also very seductive.
The lips are neither too thick nor too thin, and the shape is very nice.
The bridge of the nose is high and the skin is smooth.
Although this man is for public use, it is not a loss for Shen Chuliu to think about it while sleeping.
After all, he looks very exciting.
"Back to the emperor, I don't hesitate to spend money, but after the peach blossoms wither, it will bear fruit. Let's see when there will be peaches to eat." Shen Chuliu smiled generously.
"Shen Baolin doesn't have any good gifts for the Queen Mother?" Qi Yixiu looked at Shen Chuliu. The girl smiled slyly, but he didn't answer the question.
Shen Chuliu complained in his heart, but smiled: "I don't have much to offer, but the gifts still have to be given properly. No matter good or bad, it's all my intention. The Queen Mother's Qianqiu gave me the gift. I feel at ease. Fortunately, although I am young, I still understand the truth."
"Yes, you are very sensible. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, go and get a pair of white jade bracelets for Shen Baolin. You are so sensible and should be rewarded." Qi Yixiu said.
The eunuch on the fourth day of the lunar month responded.
"I'd like to thank you, Your Majesty. When it's the Queen Mother's birthday, I'll go there with the jade bracelet gifted by the Emperor." Shen Chu and Liu Fu got down and smiled even sweeter.
Qi Yixiu helped her up with one hand: "Okay, you can go shopping by yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Shen Chuliu stood up again and respectfully sent the emperor off.
"Congratulations to Baolin, I think it's time for Baolin to sleep with you." Zi Rui smiled, looking happy.
Shen Chuliu shook his head gently and didn't say anything. He sat for a while and then returned to Cuiyunxuan.
