In the harem, something is really not normal.
Although it was said that Princess Jin's matter could not be disclosed to outsiders, the clan's mansion could not remain ignorant of everything.
After all, she was a serious concubine who stayed in the palace, so she couldn't be sent away quietly.
But no matter what, the matter of Concubine Jin poisoning Empress Dowager Feng could only be kept secret.
For this reason, Princess Jin's posthumous affairs were very careless, and she was only sent to the mausoleum next to the late emperor to keep company with the other concubines of the late emperor who died young.
And Queen Mother Feng was so quiet that it made people feel worried.
After Qi Yixiu went to court, he told the fourth day of the Lunar New Year: "Watch carefully and don't make trouble. This year's New Year... Empress Dowager Feng will definitely not be able to participate."
"Yes, Empress Dowager Feng said this herself. The slave looks at her very well, but is this good too much?" Chusi was also worried, fearing that Empress Dowager Feng was holding back something big.
"Is everything peaceful?" Qi Yixiu said.
"When I return to the emperor, everything in the harem is at peace. Isn't it because the Ninth Prince has not been able to sleep well in recent days? Empress Zhenchongyi is worried about this, and so is the Queen Mother. Everything else is fine." Chu Si said.
Now that he was talking on the fourth day of the lunar month, he subconsciously began to avoid the Eighth Prince. That child was really... Oh, what a pity.
"Where is Cuiyunxuanli? I heard that she is taking care of her sister again?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"When I went back to the emperor, I said I was taking care of him. Isn't it cold now? If I didn't care... Shen Gengyi would have been very ill before." Chu Si said.
"You mean you're cured now?" Qi Yixiu smiled: "Let's go see her."
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year hurriedly responded. This was naturally not to see Shen change clothes, so the fourth day of the Lunar New Year shouted to the outside to show off to Cuiyunxuan.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu was reading the account books. The Chinese New Year was not far away. The scenery was poor this year, so she wanted to reward the people below her more.
I don’t want to give money directly, so I am planning with a few girls to give them something practical.
There are also some favors that need to be left, as well as those outside the palace.
Whether they are close or not is one thing. During the Chinese New Year, giving gifts to the younger members of the family is also a channel to build relationships.
After all, she, Jing Zhaoyi, and the Shen family still have to complement each other.
Just then, the emperor came in.
Zi Rui quickly put away some of the books without letting the emperor see them.
The rest is irrelevant.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is safe." Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has just come to court? You haven't even changed into your court uniform yet."
Qi Yixiu came here wearing court clothes today, but he still took off his crown.
"It's the same thing if I come to you." Qi Yixiu smiled and sat down: "What is my beloved concubine doing?"
"Look at the account book, isn't it the end of the year? I want to take a look and get away with the favor." Shen Chuliu said.
It's already the end of October. Although there are still two months left before the New Year, if you want to reward the people below with something and make it yourself, you have to do it in advance. You can't do it in the first few days of the new year.
Qi Yixiu flipped through it casually: "Well, look back and take your time. Will the fabric given to you this year be enough?"
"Look at what the emperor asked, enough is definitely enough, but women like colorful things. If you have this, you will also want that. With this color, it is also good to look at that color." Shen Chuliu laughed. While pouring tea for the emperor: "If you tell me from here, there will never be enough."
Qi Yixiu laughed: "You are telling the truth. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I went back to the warehouse to see if any fresh fabrics with patterns were brought out and rewarded her."
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I sighed, thinking that at the end of the year, Cuiyunxuan had the most good fabrics.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for asking you to spend money again." Shen Chuliu smiled: "Your Majesty, I haven't been to my concubine for a while. Do you want to have lunch here today?"
"I'll give you something good, and you'll leave me a lunch?" Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows.
"How about I leave you dinner and breakfast?" Shen Chuliu smiled and picked at Qi Yixiu's finger. Qi Yixiu took her hand and said, "My clothes are uncomfortable. My beloved, please help me change my clothes."
With that said, he pulled the person into the inner room.
Everyone quickly and wisely exited.
The emperor has not been in the harem for some time, so changing clothes... is very meaningful.
After changing clothes, it was time to really change clothes. Qi Yi changed into an embroidered robe, combed his hair again, fixed it with a white jade hairpin, and didn't bother to wear a hair crown.
Shen Chuliu's legs were shaking a little, but he still glanced at Qi Yixiu.
Qi Yixiu was satisfied. Not long after he sat down, he heard movement.
Sure enough, the next second I heard a loud voice: "Mom, I'm hungry!"
Qi Yixiu smiled: "This child is really lively and tight."
The sixth prince came in and saw the emperor, and was stunned for a moment: "Father, greetings."
"Well, come and see Father, did you study well today? Did the Master praise you?" Qi Yixiu waved.
The sixth princes also met the emperor from time to time. Sometimes when the emperor was not at Cuiyunxuan, he would go to Hongwen Hall to see the princes.
In the past, these young people were studying in Ruiqing Palace, but after Meng Xiaoyi's incident, they all went to Hongwen Palace, and Ruiqing Palace only took care of them.
This is also more spacious, allowing the princes to study well.
"No one praised me, Taifu, but my son is studying hard." The sixth prince looked proud.
Qi Yixiu smiled and patted his shoulder: "Yan'er is so good. In the twelfth lunar month, Yan'er is already seven years old." Qi Yixiu said this to Shen Chuliu.
"Yes, he is seven years old and has grown up." Shen Chuliu looked at the child with a smile.
"I'm hungry." The sixth prince looked at Shen Chuliu pitifully.
Shen Chuliu…
"Do you have anything else to say?" She glared at him and said, "I'll give you some snacks, but eat less, or you won't be able to eat them after a while."
"Oh oh oh, I got it. Aunt Zi Rui, please have some snacks." The sixth prince threw his father over and went to find Zi Rui.
For such an old child, his father will definitely not be as good as the dim sum ones.
Soon, the sixth prince was taken to wash up and then eat.
"Let's choose a reading companion for Yan'er after the new year. Is there anyone you like, my concubine?" Qi Yixiu asked: "Choose one first, and then take your time in the future."
"I haven't thought about this matter. Although my natal family is the best, I don't have any children of the right age." Shen Chuliu said.
"Well, I remember that the Pei family doesn't have any suitable children." Qi Yixiu thought for a while: "Otherwise, I would really like the Pei family's family education."
"There's no rush. We'll wait until after the New Year." The emperor said.
"Speaking of the Pei family, they came to greet me before, but they just happened to catch up with Shen Changyi, and they haven't come in again. I should call them in to talk."
Qi Yixiu had no objection to this and nodded.
The two of them just talked like this, waiting for lunch to be served.
The sixth prince, who had eaten the snacks, still had a strong appetite, but when the emperor came, he used it himself.
The sixth prince didn't have any objections and went to the next room by himself.
