Empress Dowager Li's niece successfully gave birth to the prince, which was a huge threat.
It's impossible that no one really did it.
Because Zhen Jieyu was pregnant, the emperor stayed with her for two days in a row.
But nothing can be done.
Later it returned to normal.
Zhen Jieyu had just become pregnant and was less than three months old, so the queen spared her the need to pay her respects. She just stayed in Qingyin Pavilion and was raised safely.
Recently, those who often sleep with me are Jing Xiuyi, Ning Chongyi, Su Cairen and Zhuang Baolin.
The newlyweds have all been in their prime these days, and those who are able to succeed are also getting ahead, but in terms of favor, they still lose out to the old man.
Ning Chongyi is also considered a powerful person. From the time he stayed in the mansion until now, he has been favored one after another.
It's just that she was so favored but never got pregnant again, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again.
The queen is holding a peony banquet again this year, but because the peonies are blooming particularly well this year, the banquet will be bigger.
The female relatives of the clan outside and the female relatives of important officials in the court can also enter the palace.
Shen Chuliu dressed up and went to the peony garden.
The people in the peony garden are more beautiful than the flowers, with fragrant clothes and jingling bells.
When she arrived, many people naturally came up to greet her.
Because most of the people the Queen hosted for this banquet were relatively young, no one from the Shen family came.
Zheng from the Pei family didn't come either. But the daughter-in-law came with her grandson-in-law.
Everyone bowed to each other, but before the queen came, they sat alone and talked.
Mrs. Lin greeted Shen Chuliu and pulled Pei Yue over to show Shen Chuliu: "This is Pei Yue, my unlucky daughter. She was not in good health last time, so she didn't come."
Pei Yue hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Madam Jing Xiuyi."
"Well, she's a cousin, too. My name is Pei Yue? It's a good name. Like her cousin, she's a brilliant person." Shen Chuliu took off a pearl bead string from her wrist and put it on Pei Yue's wrist.
Pei Yue looked at her as a girl with clear eyes, and she quite liked her.
"How is this possible?" Mrs. Lin looked at the size of the pearls, and she knew they were not ordinary. "How can her children afford such a good thing?"
"If you want to say something bad, I can't take it out here. Don't be polite, aunt, just ask your cousin to take it. The palace is not a fun place, and we won't meet much in the future. My cousin is also about to talk about marriage. Just think of it as a dowry from me." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Pei Yue's face turned red: "Thank you, Madam."
Shen Chuliu smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome. I think my aunt still has some social skills, so I'll go talk to the sisters first."
Ms. Lin quickly said yes and left with her daughter and daughter-in-law.
After walking far away, Pei Yue fiddled with the beads: "My cousin is really a kind person. It's a pity that life is hard. I didn't know how to suffer when I was a child."
"Hey, fortunately, you are in your prime now. Don't be nervous, you are still young, and my mother is not willing to let you get married so early. Today I am just asking people from various families to take a look at you." Ms. Lin said with a smile.
Pei Yue nodded in agreement.
"Master, your cousin is different from the girls in the Shen family." Zi Rui said.
"Of course it is different. The Pei family has a simple population, loving parents, and the family is not too big. She is the legitimate daughter, and she has been pampered and grown up. Why should she have to worry? Naturally, she is not a girl from a house as big as the Shen family."
This is not to say that the girls from the Shen family are not good. When the girls from the Shen family come out, they are all very good.
It’s just that the growing environment is different.
Soon, the queen arrived.
Everyone paid their respects.
Compared to the time when the emperor first ascended the throne, the queen now has firmly sat on the throne.
In fact, whether she, a princess from another country, can secure the throne of queen, mainly depends on Qi Yixiu's attitude.
After all, when Qi Yixiu had just ascended the throne and the imperial decree of canonization had not yet been issued, some officials in the court even suggested that he should be cautious in setting up his successor.
Some people have also suggested changing the candidate for the queen, and the reason is that they are not of my race.
Of course, if it were to be replaced at that time, Feng Shufei would naturally be the best candidate. However, after being reprimanded and demoted by Qi Yixiu, no one dared to mention it again.
After all, the queen was given the gift of marriage by the late emperor. Although she had not yet given birth at that time, she had never made any mistakes.
At that time, the emperor was still young, there was only one eldest prince and one eldest princess, and Concubine Feng Shu had just entered the palace with pregnancy.
But now, after so many years, the queen gave birth to the second princess, no one dares to have such thoughts anymore.
Even if there is, we can only think about it secretly and come secretly.
The queen smiled and said: "I saw that the peonies were blooming really well, so I invited you to come and have a look. There will be a show later, so you are welcome and feel free to enjoy the flowers."
Everyone thanked the queen again.
Zhen Jieyu was cautious and didn't come today, and the queen didn't say anything.
But Wen Xiaoyi came.
The peonies here are indeed blooming well. Last year, the things here were not built yet, but they look much better this year.
It happens to be the time when the peonies are in full bloom, and the surrounding pavilions are beautifully printed.
Because it is next to the Wutong Hall, the banquet was held there today, and the actors were also singing there.
You can go there after enjoying the flowers at noon.
Shen Chuliu was talking to Song Zhaoyi and saw Shen Biqiong coming with Qi Chuan.
Although only female relatives were invited, there were still many little boys.
So Qichuan also came.
"Greetings to Empress Song Zhaoyi and Empress Jing Xiuyi."
"Forgive me, this is the concubine of King Yi, right? She is really good-looking. The girls from your Shen family are really charming." Song Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for the compliment from Empress Song Zhaoyi. In terms of appearance, none of the sisters in the family are as good as Empress Jing Xiuyi." She smiled.
"Stop praising me. How are you doing, little prince?" Shen Chuliu looked at Qi Chuan.
Qi Chuan blushed: "How do you do, Madam? How do you do, Chuan'er."
"Well, he's pretty good." Shen Chuliu teased the child.
"Third sister is here."
Maybe because he saw Shen Biqiong, Shen Baolin came over.
"Shen Baolin'an." Shen Biqiong smiled.
"Is this the crown prince? He's born very well." Shen Baolin said this with a hint of disdain.
After all, she didn't look down on King Yi when she was in the boudoir.
When her two older sisters asked to choose between entering the palace and being the king, she was very proud.
One is a concubine, and the other is an orphan with no parents to care about. She naturally feels that she is superior to others.
Even though he restrained himself now, he still brought it out.
"Shen Baolin has said his greetings, let's go enjoy the flowers. We still have something to say." Shen Chuliu said calmly.
Shen Baolin choked, but held back: "Yes."
Song Zhaoyi also smiled and walked away.
Shen Biqiong and Shen Chuliu were left in the pavilion.
"Fifth sister hasn't changed much now." Shen Biqiong said.
"Nature is hard to change." Shen Chuliu smiled brightly: "Do you think Third Sister I am cruel?"
"How could it be so? I'm afraid that I will be more ruthless than the empress after changing places. Since one of the Shen family has become the leader, there is no need to think about the second one. On weekdays, she sees me as a concubine and sees the empress. Yes... I just feel that I am superior. Now we just have to rely on our own abilities." Shen Biqiong said with a smile.
I went to the night market with my gay friends. Oh my god, I almost died outside when I was an aunt!
