That night, the emperor came again. He always came these days, not every day, and he didn't go anywhere else anyway. Even on the day when Concubine Qian was full moon, the emperor just went to have a meal and then returned to Tai Chi Palace. It makes people think a lot.
"Are you thinking about the child again? I have already sent people to Ruiqing Palace. If they go to places like Luming Lake in the future, they will always follow them. What's more, I also asked people to put up protection on the edge of Luming Lake. There will be no such thing in the future. This won’t happen again.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's dinner is useless, right?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
In any case, the emperor still protected the two of them very competently during this period. It's good that the Sixth Prince is always there when he needs comfort the most.
"I'll accompany you." Qi Yixiu said.
"Zi Rui... Oh, that's not right. Zi Zhu, go and see what the arrangements are for today. Bring the meal that the Emperor likes."
After calling out, he remembered that Zi Rui was not there, so he explained: "Zi Rui is worried about Yan'er, so I will go and take care of her for a few days."
"The one from your mother's side? If she's good at serving you, just ask her to serve Yan'er, right?" Qi Yixiu said.
"Forget it, I'm not young anymore. I'm going to get married in a few years. There are people who will serve Yan'er. Didn't I punish her? If it's fine, just go ahead." She can trust those people.
Naturally, the emperor also knew that he could not blame those few people for what happened this time. It would be a dereliction of duty at most.
Since she thought it was good, he didn't say anything.
The two of them had dinner chatting and laughing. Qi Yixiu felt itchy to see Shen Chuliu smiling like this today.
Before it was time to go to bed, the person was pulled up and collapsed.
Shen Chuliu was also very cooperative, as if he had a feeling of venting, he hung on the emperor's neck and refused to let go.
Qi Yixiu was also extremely satisfied, and the two of them were in a state of darkness.
Early the next morning, Shen Chuliu couldn't speak properly.
The emperor also felt too tired to get up, but he still managed to get up.
Shen Chuliu was too lazy to move, turned over and continued to sleep.
The emperor just raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
However, when he returned to Taiji Palace, Shen Chuliu was rewarded with many things.
"Send her one of the tribute jade Ruyi below." Qi Yixiu said calmly.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I sighed, thinking that there were only about ten in total.
One for each of the two palaces, one for the Queen Mother, and two for the Queen Mother.
Then there are the old princesses in the clan who give out two rewards.
In the palace, among the concubines, this is the first one.
Tsk, Jing Zhaoyi is like this every time after doing something earth-shattering. Not only does she not lose favor, but her favor seems to be even higher.
After Shen Chuliu got up, she held her waist. The girls were embarrassed to look at her and lowered their heads.
Shen Chuliu felt uncomfortable: "Tsk, one by one, I am the mother of a five-year-old child. Aren't you used to it?"
Zi Zhu's face turned red and she stamped her feet: "Master, you still say it!"
"If you look so tender, you will get married in the future." Shen Chuliu himself blushed.
It was at this time that Laba came.
With the rewards, of course the focus today is on the jade Ruyi.
The best white jade, Shen Chuliu liked it as soon as he got it. It was indeed a good thing.
After thanking the emperor, he rewarded Laba and the two little eunuchs who carried the box.
I just held that Ruyi and played for a while.
When Laba went back and told the emperor, the emperor was also happy. It is a good thing that people like the things he gave away.
Soon, word spread that the emperor had rewarded Jing Zhaoyi with the jade Ruyi. Generally speaking, jade Ruyi is relatively high-end.
Not easy to reward anyone.
Although this thing was just an itch at first, as it was passed around, its status gradually increased.
Therefore, the emperor rewarded Jing Zhaoyi with such a thing, and it was the only concubine other than the empress who got it.
How could everyone not look sideways
When Yao Baolin came to see Shen Chuliu, he smiled and said, "In the Fengzao Palace this morning, everyone was asking openly and secretly. I can only say that I don't know anything."
"No one is giving you a hard time, right?" Shen Chu asked with a smile.
"No, I'm just an old man who hasn't been pampered for thousands of years. I have the honor of being born in Qiandi, so there's no point in embarrassing me." Even if it was because she was on Jing Zhaoyi's side, almost no one would embarrass her.
Because she doesn't go to bed.
"It's true that Concubine Qian is evil, but it's not towards me." Yao Baolin said with a smile.
"It's right for her to be unconvinced. Emperor Man Yue didn't even go. But the Emperor gave a lot to the tenth prince." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, before she was wondering if she could get her title back, but now it seems difficult. Concubine Feng Shu also invited the emperor to come, but the emperor only said he was busy."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "She should wake up too. She has never been favored in the harem."
Many people love her much more than she does.
"Yes, speaking of which, Rong Jieyu has been here before, but Su Meiren has not come. She just asked someone to deliver something." Yao Baolin said.
"If she doesn't come, it's not that she thinks she doesn't like me. It's just that everything has changed now, and it's boring to come. It doesn't matter whether she comes or not. She is no longer the Queen of Sinful Minister. She will be promoted next time. There is her." Shen Chuliu just thought of Su's birth. If it was still there, maybe she could climb up faster.
Yao Baolin nodded and stopped talking about this.
In February, it often rained, and it was time to dry the clothes again, so I had no choice but to put them on the charcoal basin. Shen Chuliu didn't mind that he was still under grounding and took good care of himself for a month. At the end of the month, the ban will finally be lifted.
After Shen Chu and Liu Jin were satisfied. The first thing is to kowtow to the queen.
Her attitude was really respectful, and the Queen couldn't help but admire her.
They were all concubines anyway, so she would naturally choose the concubine who was more respectful and well-behaved to her.
"This year the emperor is going to visit the north to escape the summer heat. At the end of the month, the emperor will go to the north for a tour first, and we will go to Qingliang Mountain first. If the summer heat lasts for a long time this year, we will return to the palace in September," the queen said.
I also went to Qingliang Mountain the year before last, but I basically don’t go there every year.
"Thank you very much for bringing me, my concubine. Can the princes also go?" Shen Chuliu said.
Since the Queen said so, she naturally has her place. It doesn't matter whether the Queen said it or the Emperor said it.
"Of course, the queen mothers of the two palaces will also go this year. You should also be prepared." The queen said.
Shen Chuliu thanked him again and told the news when he returned to Cuiyunxuan.
Everyone was also happy, and it was a good thing to be able to go out for a walk.
Soon, the Queen announced the list of people going to Qingliang Mountain this year.
The empress dowagers and empresses of the two palaces will all go.
Concubine Feng Shu and Concubine Kangde stayed in the palace to assist in the affairs of the palace.
Next, Concubine Qian, Jing Zhaoyi, Ning Zhaorong, Li Zhaoyuan, Zhen Chongyi, Wen Chongrong, Su Meiren, Yu Meiren, Fangcai Ren, and Xue Xiaoyi all went.
The princes and princesses are also going. Of course, the second prince who is still under grounding cannot go.
