The next day when I went to Fengzao Palace to pay my respects, there were several people missing.
Concubine Feng Shu was grounded, Yi Chongyuan was ill, Su Cairen was in confinement, and Han Xiaoyi was pregnant. None of this came.
Coincidentally, there was a slight temperature difference last night, and Yao Baolin was also sick.
But after all, ten people came in this year. Although these people didn't come, it didn't seem empty in the hall.
With Concubine Feng Shu missing, there were a lot less disputes. Concubine Jin was probably frightened by Concubine Feng Shu's fate, and she didn't dare to say anything for several days.
"The Emperor has decreed that we will go to Qingliang Mountain on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. The list has not been released yet, so don't be impatient."
Everyone looked at each other and wanted to go.
Shen Chuliu thought that he wouldn't be able to go. After all, the child was so young and he wouldn't worry if he left it in the palace.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Shen Yunu caught up with her. She had been ill for several days and had lost a lot of weight.
"Empress Jing Xiuyi, please stay."
Shen Chuliu stood still: "What's the matter?"
"I just want to say that I will be careful in the future and will not let anyone frame me again. Don't worry, my queen." Shen Yunv said.
"That's good, take care." Shen Chuliu really didn't say a word.
Shen Yunv suddenly said: "Now that our identities have changed, we were sisters in the mansion back then, so there is no trace of friendship left?"
Shen Chuliu stopped and smiled: "What does it matter if it survives or not? What did you do in the palace?"
After saying that, he held Zhemei's hand and said nothing.
Didn't Shen Yunv enter the palace for the Shen family? If she gets up, she will be her foil.
Of course, now that she is in power, maybe the family is saying the opposite.
But so what
If she hadn't come this far by herself, wouldn't she have to play a supporting role for Shen Biyu
What would the situation be like if Shen Biyu was in charge today
Therefore, that trace of friendship should have disappeared when Shen Biyu insisted on entering the palace.
Shen Chuliu has never been a kind person, and he doesn't need to be a kind person.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Zhemei said: "I wonder who the emperor will take with him this time. It will take several months to go to Qingliang Mountain."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "There's nothing we can do about it."
Everyone could only sigh. Indeed, the child was still young.
Everyone was waiting for the emperor's decree but the emperor himself did not come.
Shen Chuliu asked someone to help the emperor change his clothes, and served him iced mung bean soup.
In May, the imperial city was already very hot.
"I'm going to Qingliang Mountain on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. The Queen has already told me, right?" Qi Yixiu felt better after drinking the cold soup.
"I told you."
Shen Chuliu was curious, why are you telling me this
"Well, you clean up. Then I will ask the carriage to have a good rest. It can hide the ice and not get cold. I will ask the Sixth Prince to sit comfortably." Qi Yixiu said.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that my concubine and the Sixth Prince will also go?"
It’s not too difficult, and Qingliang Mountain can be reached in less than a day’s walk.
The Sixth Prince is still a little guy, and he won't be able to control himself until he is too energetic.
"I didn't agree to my concubine's promise last year. I will naturally take my concubine with me this year." Qi Yixiu smiled: "Why is my concubine not willing?"
"How can I be unwilling? I just thought that the emperor thought that the sixth prince was still young, so he didn't go." Shen Chuliu smiled: "That's great. I heard that Qingliang Mountain is very comfortable."
"It just so happens that children are afraid of the heat. Let's ask the Sixth Prince to go there and feel comfortable for the whole summer, and then come back in September." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu responded with a smile and asked someone to bring the sixth prince.
Qi Yixiu also looked at his son.
In fact, he rarely looked at his sons. When the eldest second prince saw him, it was usually to take exams on schoolwork.
So far, I haven't seen him favoring any of his sons. Shen Chuliu didn't intend to ask Qi Yan to become his favorite son. That would be too dangerous.
But when he came to Cuiyunxuan, he should at least be asked to get closer to Qi Yan.
That day, Qi Yixiu just had lunch at Cuiyunxuan and then returned.
No one was asked to sleep at night.
On the second day, the people who will accompany the driver are selected.
It was the number that the queen asked Emei to read out when greeting her in the morning.
They are Jing Xiuyi, Ning Chongyi, Li Chongrong, Zhenmeiren, Yingmeiren, Su Cairen, Yu Xiaoyi, Fang Xiaoyi, Meng Baolin, Zhang Baolin and Xue Yunu.
Among the princes and princesses, there are the second prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince, the eldest princess and the second princess.
There was originally a third prince, but because there was no Concubine Kande, Concubine Kangde refused because the child was weak.
She was afraid. What if something happened to the child while she was not here? She has no chance of raising another one.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is Su Cairen who is still in confinement.
The emperor is telling her to relax and recuperate. This person is really favored.
After everyone dispersed, Concubine Kangde and Wen Xiaoyi returned to Leshou Palace.
Wen Xiaoyi said goodbye to Concubine Kangde and returned to her side hall. His face doesn't look good.
"Xiaoyi?" the girl Xingzhi said softly.
"Xingzhi, it seems that your master, I want to stand out on my own." Wen Xiaoyi smiled softly: "I have not benefited at all from serving her these past few years. Now that someone is more useful, they have abandoned me. ”
It is not a secret that Meng Baolin took refuge in Concubine Kangde.
As for Meng Baolin being able to accompany him this time, it was also recommended by Concubine Kangde.
Wen Xiaoyi originally thought she had her own.
Now that I know there is no such thing, I feel very unconvinced.
She lives here and has to drink medicinal soup even when serving the emperor. Now someone can walk in front of her. How can she be happy
"Xiaoyi, what do you think?" Xingzhi also felt aggrieved.
Back then, Xiaoyi didn't dare to have children in order to live a better life. She didn't expect that it would still be so difficult now, so why bother
"Isn't there still time? Let me think about it." Wen Xiaoyi leaned on the soft couch: "This person has to rely on himself after all."
Rely on the sky to be high and rely on the earth to be low. In the end, it is your own strength that is yours.
"That's what the smile said." Xingzhi said softly.
"Go get some money and ask around. You have to meet the emperor first, right?" Wen Xiaoyi said.
Xingzhi agreed and went quickly.
Xingzhi Xingye had followed Wen Xiaoyi as soon as she entered the palace. They both knew about her own abortion, so they were very loyal.
After all, Wen Xiaoyi has been in the palace for several years, and thanks to Concubine Kangde, she doesn't have everything.
So after spending money, it is easy to get some information.
What's more, she is smart, and Concubine Kande just doesn't allow her to get pregnant casually, and has no other requirements.
So on the third day, Wen Xiaoyi met the emperor by chance in the imperial garden.
Qi Yixiu didn't care whether the concubines met by chance or they were fake.
As long as he is in a good mood, he is really patient.
This is understandable. Which woman in the harem doesn't want to see him
"What's wrong with my beloved concubine?" Qi Yixiu looked at Wen Xiaoyi whose eyes were red.
