Taifu Lu had long known that Lu Baolin would find it difficult to get ahead.
He originally thought that he was going to send a granddaughter in, but now that he knew it was not the case, he was naturally happy.
It is naturally a happy event to be granted a marriage by the emperor himself, not to mention having another one come into the harem to endure it
The emperor was busy even before the first month of the year. Before the fifteenth day, he had met with ministers several times.
Until the Lantern Festival, the emperor routinely rewarded lanterns.
This year is similar to last year. Shen Chuliu received a pair of glazed lanterns and a pair to the sixth prince who knew nothing.
For a moment, Cuiyunxuan's favor made people look at him.
Shen Chuliu didn't care about this, he just ate, drank, and slept every day to maintain his health.
I was really impatient, so I asked Xinlu to read to me. Xinlu has a nice voice, and it's rare for her to know how to read.
Just read her something interesting, and Shen Chuliu can close her eyes and listen.
This way, it’s effortless and not boring.
On the contrary, the whole Cuiyunxuan can also listen to this.
When the emperor learned about it, he actually laughed out loud and asked someone to send him a stack of scripts.
Calling her was enough.
The milk produced by the four nannies is good, and the sixth prince is growing up quickly. He has already lost a lot of his babyish look before he is even a month old.
Instead, I started to gain weight.
In February, the emperor was even more busy day and night.
What Qi Yixiu had been determined to do since he became the crown prince, he was finally able to do it in his seventh year on the throne.
Together with his close ministers, he abolished the three provinces and abolished the prime minister system.
Wenhua Pavilion and Wuhua Pavilion were built, and Hanlin Academy began to be reused.
Some of the officials in the original three provinces retired, some were dismissed, and some joined other departments.
The six academicians in the cabinet are all ministers whom the emperor trusts extremely.
Among them was Master Pei Jiancheng, who had just returned to the imperial city and joined the Ministry of Household Affairs but had been the minister for ten days. Holding two hats in one person shows how much the emperor trusts him.
When it came time to finally reorganize these departments, February was already over.
On the first day of March, the draft for the seventh year of Qingyuan began in the palace.
On the first day of March, the spring of the seventh year of Qingyuan began in the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites.
On the first day of March, Shen Chuliu was born.
On the first day of March, Empress Jing Xiuyi finally appeared.
The beautiful ladies had already gone through the initial reading and screening outside the palace half a month ago.
After reading today, I will go to live in Qunfang Palace. As for which ones will be left in the palace and which ones will be given to the clan, it all depends on your own destiny.
Early in the morning, Shen Chuliu followed the queen to pay her respects to the queen mother. She was well-fed, in good spirits, with a good complexion, and was slightly plump, but it was hard to tell.
After saying goodbye, Queen Mother Li asked about the Sixth Prince and was happy to learn that everything was fine.
Old people always like to listen to the good things of younger people.
Then, the queen mothers of the two palaces went to the Wutong Hall with the queen and the concubines above nine.
The reading of Xiu Nu starts from here.
There were so many people coming in this year, so the emperor simply accepted them directly without exception, and read them all together.
However, those who must come in will not be eliminated.
Concubine Jin smiled and said, "Jing Xiuyi's maiden sister is also going to enter the palace, and it will be lively by then."
"Come in, aren't we all sisters? If you want to have fun, let's come together." Shen Chuliu smiled faintly.
Concubine Jin still remembered her toughness, so naturally she didn't dare to push her too hard.
Feng Shufei hummed: "We are sisters, and you are biological sisters, that is different."
"That's true. What Empress Feng Shufei said is absolutely true. Then I will give her a few words so that she will always know that Sister Feng Shufei is her elder sister, and she will not forget her at all times."
It's a bit scary to say this occasionally.
Feng Shufei felt a little bit like she was being remembered. Shen Chuliu said no more.
Soon, Wutong Hall arrived.
As soon as everyone sat down, the emperor came.
The beautiful ladies came from Qunfang Hall in pairs of ten.
Shen Chuliu paid attention to several people, such as the second daughter of Grand Scholar Fang, the eldest daughter of Grand Bachelor Yu, and the third daughter of Duke Li Guo.
These few are bound to come in.
Shen Biyu was also very satisfied, but for Shen Chuliu, there was no curiosity about her and he didn't bother to look at her.
It is mainly decided by the emperor, empress and the empress dowagers of the two palaces.
Because of what happened a year ago, Queen Mother Feng was quite taciturn.
Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything, she just praised her for looking good.
Today alone, Qi Yixiu granted marriage to more than twenty people.
There are more than a hundred left, and of these more than a hundred, half will soon be sent back to their families to get married freely.
However, it was a beautiful girl named Han Qiqi who left a deep impression on everyone.
Not considered a high-ranking man, his father was only a fifth-rank official. I am quite beautiful.
This is not the point. The point is that her appearance is similar to that of Yi Fei.
Qi Yixiu looked at it a few more times, didn't say anything, just stayed.
But Yi Fei's natal sister didn't even pass the primary election and never entered the palace.
Of course, Concubine Yi didn't come today either. She was not in good spirits and could not get up for a few days throughout the spring.
When the day's work was over, Shen Chuliu had just changed his clothes in Cuiyun Pavilion when the eunuchs sang and the emperor arrived.
Today is the first day of the new year.
Shen Chuliu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Your Majesty."
Qi Yixiu came in and supported her: "I'm here to see you."
Naturally, Qi Yixiu will not stay here today, but firstly, it is Shen Chuliu Shengchen, and secondly, she is out of confinement. Since she loves her, she still wants to come and see her.
Shen Chuliu naturally seized this opportunity.
"Huh, I haven't seen the emperor like this for several months. I didn't dare to think about today. I'll be waiting for the emperor tomorrow." Shen Chuliu looked at Qi Yixiu pitifully and cutely.
"I came here by mistake today?" Qi Yixiu said with a straight face.
"How can that be? Your Majesty has been extremely busy these past few months, and I am in confinement again. Now that I see you, I don't know how to be happy. I can't have a meal with you. How about I have a snack with you?" Shen Chuliu was repairing next to Qi Yin.
"That's all, how can I live up to my beloved concubine's wishes?" Qi Yixiu looked at her with a smile.
After giving birth to the child, her face became more beautiful, as if she had completely grown.
Shen Chuliu called for preparations and brought the sixth prince over.
"The emperor has seen Yan'er, has he grown up a lot? The last time the emperor saw him was a month ago." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu looked at the child. Sure enough, the two-month-old child was much older.
"Well, it's indeed big." Qi Yixiu looked at the child who happened to wake up and squeezed his little hand.
It's a pity that a two-month-old child doesn't feel anything when being pinched by a person or a dog.
After looking at the child for a while, the wet nurse took him away.
Desserts were served. Qi Yixiu had been busy all day, but he was still hungry.
I really ate some.
When it gets dark, get up and go to Fengzao Palace.
"Have a good rest. I will come to your place for dinner tomorrow." Qi Yi said.
Shen Chuliu smiled and sent Qi Yixiu out.
