Shen Chuliu arrived earlier, and there were only a few or two people there.
Shen Chuliu stepped forward to salute Kang Chongyi and Song Zhaoyi.
Both of them were people of few words, so they politely asked her to get up and sit down.
"Shen Cairen was born with such good looks. It's because I've always been weak and not very old, so I didn't take a close look at him." Kang Chongyi said with a smile.
"Yes, Shen Cai is so good-looking, we can't compare." Song Zhaoyi said.
Shen Chuliu hurriedly said he didn't dare.
Fortunately, these two were just being polite, not deliberately looking for a topic to ridicule. Seeing someone coming from behind, they stopped talking.
When Concubine Jin came, Li Xiaoyi happened to come in.
Concubine Jin immediately said: "Hey! Isn't this Shen Cairen? Shen Cairen, your body is too good. Why can't I come to pay my respects after I've finished sleeping? You came earlier?"
Shen Chu, Liu Xin said, I couldn't tell for a moment who are you mocking
"Returning to Concubine Jin, Taiji Palace is naturally closer to Fengzao Palace than Cuiyunxuan, my concubine. It's not surprising that I arrived early."
"Oh, this sounds like Li Xiaoyi is not sleeping in Tai Chi Palace." Concubine Jin sat down with a smile.
"My concubine is sleeping in the Fengzao Palace." Li Xiaoyi smiled sarcastically: "How can I be as lucky as your empress? I don't have to go to the Taiji Palace to sleep in."
Concubine Jin was poked in the sore spot and changed her face: "You are so presumptuous!"
"What's wrong with the empress? As a concubine, the concubine can sleep in her own palace. Could it be that I said something wrong?" Li Xiaoyi pretended to be nervous.
It's hard to refute these words. It's obviously a satire that Concubine Jin has never been to Tai Chi Palace to sleep in since she entered the palace, but it's hard to refute these words.
"What's going on?" Concubine Feng Shu happened to come in with Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi said calmly: "Sister Concubine Jin, are you afraid that you don't understand what the emperor means by giving you this title?"
Concubine Yi was very unhappy.
Although she had the title of concubine first, they both had the same status and titles, but firstly, Concubine Jin was two years older, and secondly, Concubine Jin had a child.
So she had to call her sister this time, but it was a shame that Concubine Jin dared to agree.
So she was always unhappy with Concubine Jin.
"I can't compare to you, sister Yi Fei. What does your title mean? Nanfeng knows what I want? Then you can tell me, what does the emperor mean now?" Concubine Jin is usually timid, but today she was contradicted one after another. Very angry too.
"Concubine Jin, I'm afraid the Queen is missing from your eyes. Why are you making so much noise in Fengzao Palace?" Concubine Feng Shu sat down.
Shen Chuliu thought that Concubine Jin would say something else, after all, she didn't have to be afraid.
But she hesitated again: "Yes."
After that, he sat down and sulked.
Then the queen came out. Because of this quarrel, no one was staring at Shen Chuliu. She couldn't help but think that this was really lucky.
"Hail the queen." Everyone greeted the queen.
The queen waved her hand; "Please sit down without courtesy."
She didn't look well, and it was really difficult to carry this baby.
"Concubine Feng Shu, the weather is getting cold now. Have you distributed all the things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It's time to ask everyone to prepare winter clothes."
"When I get back to you, of course everything is ready. Your Majesty, just worry about raising the baby. The concubines are responsible for these matters." Concubine Feng Shu was very unhappy with the Queen. Since she was in charge of the matter, she still wanted to ask.
"That's good. All the sisters have been promoted this year, so they have to spend a lot of money. I'm in charge. This quarter's monthly money will be increased by one month each. Daily necessities such as clothing and materials will also be increased by 10%. About this, I’ll just tell the emperor later.”
Feng Shufei could only bite her back molars to thank her.
The other concubines thanked the queen very happily. Shen Chuliu glanced at Concubine Feng Shu, and thought to herself that this one was not good enough. She always looked the most powerful, but the queen still manipulated her casually.
Then they dispersed and went back.
Concubine Jin was probably very angry. As soon as she left Fengzao Palace, she looked at the opportunity and gave Li Xiaoyi a slap in the face.
The beating made Li Xiaoyi stunned.
Concubine Jin condescendingly said: "If you contradict me, I won't punish you."
Li Xiaoyi didn't expect that this person would suddenly take action, and she covered her face for a long time without saying a word.
After all, she was just Xiaoyi, and she would only suffer a loss when facing a second-grade concubine.
If Concubine Jin wanted to punish her, it would be much more justified than punishing Cao, who was just a beauty at first.
Everyone couldn't afford to offend Concubine Jin who had a child, but they didn't dare to do anything to Li Xiaoyi, who was now in great favor, so they all left in a hurry.
On the way back, Yao Baolin whispered: "Isn't this Concubine Jin going to suffer a loss?"
"No." Shen Chuliu also whispered: "After all, there is a princess with me. This is not a big deal."
On the surface, the emperor will definitely not do anything. As for whether Li Xiaoyi is willing to suffer this disadvantage secretly, that is another matter.
If you ask others to plot against you, then you are considered incompetent.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Ji Mei and others caught up: "Cairen, someone came from Taiji Palace just now and brought you a reward. They also took Zhou Hai away, saying that they had errands arranged for him. I asked you to start again. Choose a eunuch."
Jimei didn't know what was going on, so she thought something had happened and was extremely anxious.
Shen Chuliu smiled and nodded: "Go and call that little Yuanzi."
Xiao Yuanzi is one of the rough eunuchs of Cuiyunxuan.
There are three rough eunuchs in this pavilion. Xiao Yuanzi is the youngest, aged twenty-one or twelve.
Xiao Yuanzi was frightened when he was called.
"I wish you well, and I wish you well."
"Well, get up. I won't beat around the bush with you. I have been watching you for a year and think you are very good. Will you be transferred to my place in the future and be my personal eunuch?"
Xiao Yuanzi was so struck by this sudden luck that he couldn't speak for a while.
He is a rough messenger, the kind who was punished to the palace for family sins and purified himself at a young age.
I earn the least amount of money, and I still have to take care of myself. I am never rich.
It is also because Cuiyunxuan has few people and good masters. He can only eat enough without trying to harass the people below him.
I have always worked hard and never dared to slack off.
Although Shen Cai is not the most favored person in the palace, Shen Cai's son has never been aggrieved after entering the palace.
Such a master was a good master that I had never dreamed of before.
Now, Cai Ren said, just look at him
Xiao Yuanzi was afraid that if it was too late, the talented person would no longer want him, so he kowtowed in a hurry.
Hearing the clanging kowtow, Zi Rui trembled all over.
"I am willing, I am willing! Thank you talented person, thank you talented person!"
"Okay." Shen Chuliu smiled: "Since you are a personal eunuch, you can't be so vulgar. Ask Zimei to settle you down. Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get you some clothes to change into. Zimei, here He took fifteen taels of silver."
"Twelve taels are rewarded to you. Everyone who follows me will have them. Five taels will help you manage your situation. Give me three days to show up here. As a person of mine, you must not betray the Lord. I will follow Everyone says so. But remember, there may be a way out for the palace maid. If the eunuch betrays me, only one will die."
