"If it's really her, it makes sense. She has been with Concubine Kangde for several years, but she has no children. Meng Baolin got pregnant not long after she came to seek refuge." Shen Chuliu analyzed.
"In the early years, she also had a miscarriage. Now that she has directly eliminated Meng Baolin, no one will directly side with Concubine Kangde."
"So, Zhang Baolin was unjustly accused." Chi Su curled her lips and said, "But it's not anyone's fault. She will suffer from her own temper sooner or later."
"It's no wonder that Wen Xiaoyi has been following Concubine Kangde for several years and still can't get ahead at all." Chi Su shook his head.
Shen Chuliu looked at the girls, and then smiled: "These two people have countless ideas, and together they are really..."
"When we return to the palace, I don't know how Concubine Kangde will face Wen Xiaoyi."
"How else can we face it? They are not the kind to break up with each other directly." Shen Chuliu stood up: "The emperor did not doubt her."
As they spoke, they were almost there, and there were two eunuchs guarding outside Guanlan Pavilion.
Jimei looked around, and when she saw Shen Chuliu coming back, she smiled and came out to greet him.
"Is something wrong?" Chi Su asked.
"No, Master, hello." Jimei smiled: "This is not what happened these days. I saw you telling me to leave first, so I came out to take a look."
"You are interested, how is the child?" Shen Chuliu liked the feeling that someone was waiting for her.
"Okay, the wet nurse played outside for a while and picked a few mint leaves. The slaves washed and wiped them. As a result, the sixth prince stuffed it in his mouth. He probably got cold and his nose was wrinkled. I won’t ask for it again,” Jimei said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu also laughed after hearing this.
When I walked over and took a look, the little guy was turning over with his butt sticking out.
She went over to pick it up, gave it a few mouthfuls, and then put it back down.
The sixth prince, who was suddenly picked up, kissed, and put back again, looked around blankly and continued to murmur.
Shen Chuliu burst out laughing, patted the little guy on the butt, and then went to change clothes.
"Master, is it hot?" Zi Rui came in, carrying freshly squeezed watermelon juice.
They didn't allow Shen Chuliu to eat too much ice, so the watermelon juice was just watermelon that had been put in ice cubes for a while.
Shen Chuliu took it and took a sip.
This year the watermelons are really good and plentiful. They are grown near the palace, so she likes them and keeps supplying them to her.
The cool watermelon juice is sweet and delicious. Shen Chuliu took a few sips. The heat has dropped a lot.
"Fortunately, it's not that hot in the palace. If this were the palace, I wouldn't dare to walk back like this, or the sun would burn me to death." Shen Chuliu said.
"Master, the palace has sent us things today. We have a share of the things we are using in Xia Tian. I have seen them. They are all useful things. Can you take a look?" Zi Rui said.
Shen Chuliu nodded.
Not long after, Zi Rui brought a tray with several boxes and several small jars inside.
"It is said that this green sparrow-head powder is popular in the country nowadays, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs also has it. Many of them were sent to the queen. Now we have two boxes here. You can see. There is also this powder, which is said to be newly made. I haven’t used it before, but it’s gardenia powder. The color looks good, and it’s just right for you.”
"There is also this lipstick, a set of six colors, all newly made. Then there are some silk flowers. My slave looks at it. There are flowers from all four seasons. It's just right."
"This is thoughtful. There aren't many green sparrow-headed daisies nowadays, are there?" Shen Chuliu took out one and drew on the back of his hand. The color was pretty good.
It's not that dark, and it really feels good.
Other things were also good. After seeing them, Shen Chuliu asked, "Have you given me a reward?" "Master, don't worry, there's no way I won't reward you. I made the decision and rewarded the father-in-law five taels of silver, which is exactly five small silver coins." Turtle." Zi Rui said.
"That's good. You don't know it yet. Fang Xiaoyi asked the kitchen to make crab meat soup for her before, but she didn't get any reward at all. Now she has been offended severely. Although these slaves do these things. But what is within the scope of duty and what is outside of duty? It's two different things."
"Like in the past, if they dared to mess around while my position was still there, I could fight them back. But like now, if they please me, they must not waste their money." Shen Chuliu said.
"Well, don't worry, Master, all slaves and maids understand." Zi Rui nodded, convinced.
Fortunately, she is also the eldest daughter of the Shen family. She has a better life than the girls from small families outside, so she is naturally not stingy.
Zi Zhu was not as good as her at the beginning, but later she got used to her master's arrogance, and now she understands.
As for other people, they don’t touch big money for the time being.
It's not that Shen Chuliu doesn't allow it, it's that they themselves are particular about it.
However, a favored concubine has a lot of things to take care of. Regardless of money, there are many things to take care of.
Shen Chuliu immediately gave each of them a silk flower.
Although it is a silk flower, it is very delicately made. This is not something that slaves can just have.
Everyone was very happy.
"Have you asked? Is there anywhere else besides the Queen's?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"My servant has inquired about it. Most of the gifts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are from the Empress. Looking back, I guess there are still some rewards, which are for everyone. As for this exception, there are only three this time. You Yes, Li Chongrong, and Zhen Meiren.”
"But I hear that, slave, you have the most here." Zi Rui said.
"Yes. This beautiful lady has surpassed many others."
"Yes, after all, where she was born. If nothing else, it depends on the Queen Mother's face. She is no better than the one in the palace. After all, she has not done good things in these years. She only wants to make no mistakes in internal affairs, isn't it? If you want it, you won't give it to me." Zizhu said.
This is about Feng Shufei.
Speaking of Concubine Feng Shu, Shen Chuliu asked: "How is she?"
"Well, the palace is very quiet now. That one can't go out, which saves a lot of trouble. It's just that Concubine Jin has embarrassed Yi Chongyuan twice, so it's not a big deal."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "It's normal. When the emperor came out, he brought out all the important things."
After all, there are still two queen mothers in the palace. It would be ugly if something happened.
Moreover, there has been no news of Han Xiaoyi's miscarriage so far, which can only mean one thing: she is being protected.
According to her understanding of the emperor, the emperor would not do this.
Among the remaining people, Concubine Kangde has this ability, followed by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.
No matter who it is, it is impossible for Han Xiaoyi to have this ability now.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the queen rewarded me with some rouge and gouache.
Because this thing is not easy to keep and will become useless after a long time, so it is always rewarded once every few months.
Meow.
