There is even no jewelry. What she has now is not as good as what Concubine Yi gave her when she was a palace maid.
It was too late to regret that I had served the emperor, even if it was only in name. He can never leave the palace.
I don't know if the emperor was stingy or something else, but during the Chinese New Year this year, no one even waited for the promotion to the throne.
The two pregnant ones can't be promoted, and the others don't have to worry about it.
Yu Xiaoyi's belly is already very big. According to the imperial doctor, it is normal for the end of January and the beginning of February.
So she couldn't stand it these days. Seeing this, the queen told her to go to bed early.
Upstairs in the theater, the emperor is not here today, and everyone is chatting and laughing while watching the theater with the queen mother and queen.
The female family members who came in from outside naturally spoke in favor of the palace.
They were all happy when they suddenly heard a sharp girl's voice: "Who told you to wear it!"
Everyone was stunned and quickly looked over and saw Jiang Zilan, the daughter of Princess Junyi.
Princess Junyi was stunned and quickly pulled her away: "Ignorant child, how dare you be so unruly in this place?"
Jiang Zilan hummed: "The flowers she is wearing are the same as mine!"
She was pointing at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess did not dare to refute, but remained silent.
"Presumptuous! That's the eldest princess! In fact, you, mine? You are lucky to be able to wear the same flowers as the eldest princess! Why don't you apologize quickly?" Princess Junyi immediately became angry.
Jiang Zilan didn't take it seriously: "Then I won't say anything."
"I asked you to apologize! Have you forgotten your mother's daily teachings?" Princess Junyi glared.
Jiang Zilan reluctantly said: "Princess, forgive me."
The eldest princess waved her hand: "It's okay."
"The children are just being angry, it's not a problem." Queen Mother Li smiled.
"I've spoiled this child. How could she be so rude to the princess? I'll punish her well later. Today is a good day, and I won't dare to disappoint the two Queen Mothers." Princess Junyi was blessed, Feeling guilty and remorseful. Really low profile.
Empress Dowager Feng also laughed: "It's okay if the child is angry. Concubine Jin, aren't you angry?"
Concubine Jin must dare to be angry...
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother? It's just a child being angry." Concubine Jin said with a smile.
"Thank you for your generosity, Concubine Jin. I will give you something to apologize to the eldest princess later." Princess Junyi said, poking her daughter: "You will be punished when you go back."
Jiang Zilan still didn't take it seriously, thinking that she was just an unpopular princess.
Shen Chuliu, who was watching the show here, picked up a cup of tea.
"It doesn't look like it." Ning Chongyi also smiled and was talking to Shen Chuliu.
What she means is that the mother and daughter are not alike.
"Probably he grew up pampered." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"That's natural. This pampered girl is not light." Ning Chongyi also laughed.
Raised crookedly
This was just a small episode, and it soon became lively again.
At noon, Qi Yixiu asked someone to send a few tables here, saying that he wanted the Queen Mother of the two palaces to make good use of them.
After watching a play all day, Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan and it was already dark. He took off his makeup, washed himself, and waited for his meal.
Unexpectedly, just after resting for a while, I heard greetings from outside, and the emperor came.
Shen Chuliu sighed, he didn't have the energy to receive him today.
But when you come, you have to receive them.
Just like that, wearing a cloak and welcoming people in, the emperor smiled: "Is it too early to arrange your beloved concubine?" "I have lost my manners and have no rules. I have the guts to think that the emperor will not come today, so I will wear a big bun." One day, my scalp hurt a lot, so I took off my makeup." Shen Chuliu explained.
After all, there are rules in the palace. When the emperor has not announced the placement, or when the emperor has not summoned anyone to sleep with him, the harem has to wait.
But this is more like a conventional rule, not too hard.
"Oh? What kind of bun did my concubine wear in her hair today?" Qi Yixiu asked with interest.
"The double-knife bun is made of red gold silk inlaid with ruby rewarded by the emperor. It is really beautiful, but it is too heavy. Not to mention the scalp, even the neck is a little painful." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"In that case, shall I give my concubine a massage?" Qi Yixiu said and started.
Shen Chuliu hurriedly avoided: "That's not possible. If the emperor offends you by calling me concubine, what can you say if you pinch me to death?"
"There are no rules. Are you talking about this in the first month?" Qi Yixiu didn't insist, sat down and said, "Where is the Sixth Prince?"
"It's in his room." Shen Chuliu explained: "I've been listening to the play all day today, and I can't listen to him anymore. Isn't this child learning to talk now? He can't say anything. He just keeps yelling. Ouch. ”
Qi Yixiu laughed and stood up: "Then let me take a look. You can sit down."
The Sixth Prince is now a perpetual motion machine.
As long as I'm not asleep, keep moving.
The emperor couldn't bear it, so he only looked at it for a while and then came over.
As soon as the meal was put on the table, the two of them had dinner.
After eating and drinking, the emperor asked: "I heard that Jun Yi's daughter had a quarrel with the eldest princess today?"
Shen Chuliu looked at him a few times and sighed: "My messenger should be pulled out to make decisions. Concubine Jin has a long mouth. She must have grown her mouth as a mother. Does the eldest princess always have something to say? Can she still talk to her? Are people making trouble?"
"My beloved concubine has a good impression of the eldest princess?" Qi Yixiu was surprised.
"The children didn't mess with me, and I'm not a yaksha, so why do you dislike them?" Shen Chuliu snorted, "Your Majesty is so evil. You already know what happened to those two children, yet you still come to ask."
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Jun Yi has been away from home all these years, with only her husband and children around her. She must have been spoiled."
"Haha, that's true. The child is still young. When he returns to Beijing and has more exposure, he will change." Change daddy, three years old will make you look older, and seven years old will make you look older.
That child was so unruly that even the princess looked down upon him.
Ha, but it has nothing to do with you, and it can't harm you.
There is no need to go against the emperor.
Qi Yixiu just asked, not really caring about one child making trouble, or two children making trouble.
He went to bed early. During the Chinese New Year, the emperor must have lost his temper.
So once he got Shen Chuliu, he refused to let go.
It was a fierce battle all night.
When he got up early in the morning, Shen Chuliu couldn't get up to say hello. Not bothering to pay attention to the satisfied emperor, he turned around and continued to sleep.
Qi Yixiu was satisfied and didn't care that she gave him a cold face.
Before leaving, he ordered someone to bring her a box of pearls and asked her to make shoe uppers.
After Shen Chuliu woke up, he got up late.
Listening to Zi Zhu and the others setting the meal, they said: "Princess Junyi entered the palace early in the morning, went to Concubine Jin to apologize to the eldest princess, and gave many good things. It was said that Concubine Jin gave them to her in person in the end. So happy."
Shen Chuliu hummed and listened.
After a while, he came back to his senses: "Tsk, this person's posture is also low."
"Yes. Ordinarily, what happened yesterday was not a big deal. I really want to apologize and just ask someone to send her in. This is not like offending the queen's daughter-in-law."
Gone. Go to sleep.
