Chapter 212: New beauty

Views:

Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan after noon.

As soon as I walked in, I hadn't even changed my clothes when it started to rain again.

Shen Chuliu was still young at first. Shen Chuliu laughed: "It's such a good weather."

After changing clothes, I went to the sixth prince's room. The sixth prince was still sleeping. The little guy was chubby and cute.

Shen Chuliu leaned over and kissed the little guy unconsciously.

"Slept so well." Shen Chuliu smiled and looked at Mrs. Wei who was waiting next to her: "You have served me well, I will remember it."

Mrs. Wei quickly thanked her.

Shen Chuliu stayed with the child for a while, and then saw the little palace maid holding a brazier and lighting it in the cubicle. Seeing her here, he hurriedly said hello.

The room where the sixth prince lived was separated from Shen Chuliu's bedroom by a small hall.

You can walk inside and outside.

Next to Shen Chuliu's residence is the hall. On weekdays, it was only used when the emperor came.

When others come, they all meet in the outer room outside Shen Chuliu's inner room.

She also spends most of her daily life outside.

Seeing that they were serving them wholeheartedly, Shen Chuliu returned to his side.

The girl here is always paying attention to the Sixth Prince.

As a rule, the sixth prince should have four wet nurses, sixteen maids, four grand maids, four second-class maids, and eight third-class maids.

and sixteen eunuchs.

This was when he was still living in his mother's palace.

By the time I live alone, the number of people has doubled.

It goes without saying if you leave the palace to build a mansion or go to a fiefdom.

But Shen Chuliu didn't ask for so many people from the beginning. Four wet nurses are necessary.

He was also afraid that if any of the nannies became unwell, the prince would suffer a loss.

I also asked someone to send two maids and two eunuchs.

The prince is still too young and cannot take care of others by himself. Naturally, Shen Chuliu, the mother-in-law, is in charge.

So you don’t need that much, we’ll talk about it when we’re a little older.

At this point, even Concubine Feng Shu was short of manpower, and only the fifth prince living in Ruiqing Palace had enough people.

Zi Zhu and Zi Rui brought this month's account book.

When a newcomer enters the palace, as one of the nine concubines, she always has some rewards to take away.

Shen Chuliu took a quick look and said, "Well, just wait until Zhencai comes to bed and feels comfortable with it. Others don't have to worry about it."

"Yes." Zi Zhu put away the account books: "Master, I heard something."

"What?" Shen Chuliu leaned comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch, leaning against the pillow.

"When I went to the dining room, I heard the little eunuch over there saying how the food in Changle Palace has been going up and down recently. It is actually worse than before. But another eunuch said that the one is taking medicine now and just sleeps. No matter what you eat.”

Seeing that Shen Chuliu was listening, Zi Zhu said again: "Perhaps she felt that the slave had passed by and was afraid that she might hear it, so she paused. The slave thought that Concubine Yi's complexion was indeed better recently, but she didn't know why. A reason?”

Shen Chuliu nodded: "This is indeed strange."

"Master, Concubine Yi used to have a bad cough and couldn't sleep well, and her energy was also very short. I look at this, is it possible that the prescription has been changed now?" Zhemei said.

"Is there such a medicine?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.

"Yes, there is no medicine in this world. It's just this kind of medicine. It looks like she's fine now, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't last long," Zhemei said.

Shen Chuliu nodded, indeed, if people can't eat, what hope do they have

She sighed softly: "The emperor must know these things." I'm afraid it was the emperor's instruction, right

He definitely didn't want Concubine Yi to die, but rather loved her once and gave her some stability for the last period of time.

Concubine Yi's body couldn't survive much longer.

"Accidentally?" Shen Chuliu gently rubbed the pattern on the pillow and sneered: "Is it intentional? Things in the palace seem to be unintentional and accidental. I'm afraid I can't believe it."

"Master, what you mean is..." Zi Zhu's complexion changed.

"Now that I have given birth to a prince, I am still very favored. Even the newlyweds entering the palace cannot shake my favor. I am already the ninth concubine of the third rank, Xiuyi Empress." Shen Chuliu sneered: "How many people want to kill me? Woolen cloth?"

"But... I don't understand. If you know this news, what will happen even if you tell it?" Zi Zhu hesitated.

"You don't understand." Shen Chuliu looked at the drizzle outside.

"The emperor has doted on Concubine Yi for many years. Regardless of whether she is sincere or not, it is impossible to have no kindness at all."

"Now that she is dead, she can just leave well. If she leaves in pain in the end, how can the emperor not care at all?" What Shen Chuliu wants to say is that the living concubine is Ornaments in the hands of the emperor.

Some are suitable for leaving, some are suitable for lifting, some are suitable for pampering, and some are just for silence.

But the dead concubine is different.

Concubine Yi was someone he loved and cared about, and she even conceived a child for him.

Maybe alive, the emperor has been completely disappointed with her.

But even after she died, she wouldn't allow anyone to abuse her.

That's what the people behind the scenes thought, and that's why they set a trap for Shen Chuliu.

If Shen Chuliu hated Concubine Yi, he would have told Concubine Yi about changing the medicine.

If Concubine Yi knew that the emperor had given her such medicine, she would probably not understand that the emperor just wanted her to live a peaceful life. She just thought that the emperor wanted her to die.

Now, how could she leave peacefully

Once she died, how could the emperor not have any objections to the messenger

Sure enough, he is also a master of calculating people's hearts.

It's a pity that since the eunuch in the dining room said it, there's no way to investigate it even if he wants to.

It's better not to make a big show of it, otherwise wouldn't it be a trap

"Be careful during this period and don't come into contact with people from Concubine Yi's side." Shen Chuliu said.

With such a good opportunity, the person behind it only focused on her? Unseen, right

Shen Chuliu thought, if he wouldn't take the bait, then who else would

"Master, who is so wicked?" Zi Zhu asked cautiously.

"It's not like the newcomers. Except for that one, no one else can do it. But there is someone behind that one, so nothing will happen so early."

Zi Zhu nodded.

That person is talking about Zhencai from Qingyin Pavilion.

The person behind it is said to be Queen Mother Li.

Indeed, today's Zhencai people have the highest status among this group of people.

If you haven't accepted your favor yet, you can't afford to commit suicide like this.

That's the old man.

Who can calculate so profoundly? That's too hard to figure out.

After Han Baolin went to bed, one day later, the emperor asked Meng Baolin of Yunyan Pavilion to go to bed.

A few days later, it was Zhencai.

The next day after Zhencai went to bed, before he went to Fengzao Palace, the decree came down and Zhencai was promoted to Zhenmei.

Everyone had nothing to say, he was indeed a member of the mother clan.

At this point, even Concubine Feng Shu had nothing to say. When she entered the palace, she was also the crown prince Liangdi.

In Fengzao Palace, the new beauty finally arrived.
