"Master, Princess Yi is gone." Yuan Xiao said outside.
It's July and it's extremely hot. Shen Chuliu hasn't gone anywhere except to say hello these days.
"When did this happen?"
"Go back to the master, it's just something that happened this morning. They are rushing around the house to report the news." Yuan Xiao said.
"Well, follow the rules. I'm a concubine. It's not my turn to worry about this matter. I have my own Ministry of Rites and Clan Mansion." Shen Chuliu said.
"Hey." Yuanxiao responded.
"Master, this princess is gone, is our third lady..." Zi Rui asked.
"She is a smart person, she won't do it." Shen Chuliu smiled: "She won't do this kind of thing. It depends on whether King Yi will marry again." It doesn't matter if you marry, the family will not be high. .
He may not be able to fight against Shen Biqiong.
"yes."
"It's been true these two years." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
"Sometimes it's like this. Princess Yi has been ill for several years, and she is said to have been taking medicine. She has not had many children, and people have long praised her. King Yi was not good to her in those years, and she has been suffering from illness for a long time. I can’t live anymore. Maybe it’s a good thing to go now.” Zizhu said.
"Yes, my servants also heard that it was Concubine Shen who came into the house, and the life in the main courtyard became easier. Otherwise it would be very uncomfortable. She has no maternal clan," Zi Rui said.
"So, if she marries King Yi and can't figure out the means, won't she die?" Shen Chuliu smiled.
Speaking of which, Shen Biqiong is still awesome.
The decoration in Prince Yi's mansion was quite appropriate.
Shen Biqiong took several other side rooms to arrange the arrangements, including the Ministry of Rites and the Clan's Mansion. The funeral was not ugly.
Qi Chuan, the eldest son, also formally wore sackcloth and mourning for the princess, which was regarded as fulfilling the filial piety of his legitimate mother.
It also means that Princess Yi's death will not be so miserable and ugly.
She is just an ordinary princess, so naturally she will be sent out after seven days.
It rained heavily on the day of the funeral, but the funeral went well.
King Yi is indeed quite old, so now it takes one to three years to keep his wife filial piety, which is still the period of filial piety for the Queen Mother, so naturally she won't think about getting married.
If he doesn't care about this himself, no one will care about it for him.
Therefore, the power in the mansion is naturally still in Shen Biqiong's hands.
The intermittent weather in July finally caused the biggest disaster in the Qingyuan period.
Rivers in the north burst their banks, flooding three provinces and sixteen cities.
Countless people were displaced and countless fertile fields were destroyed.
As soon as he learned of the disaster, the emperor ordered the soldiers who had returned before to rush back to northern Xinjiang.
And Shen Changjing and others cannot leave Northern Xinjiang.
When Dayi's dynasty suffered a disaster, he was afraid that the dynasty would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
At the same time, the emperor urgently mobilized manpower and supplies to go to the disaster area.
I've been busy for ten days and can't eat well or sleep well.
When she came to him on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Chuliu was surprised: "How come you came to me for this matter?"
"Oh, my dear, please go and have a look." On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the three of them haven't slept for a few hours. They don't have a good meal either. This iron man can't bear it."
"When it comes to advice, I have the Queen. How can you find me?" Shen Chuliu frowned.
"My Lady, please. I'm sorry... I'm so brave. No one can do it except you. You have been going to the Imperial Study Room for many years and you still don't know what the Emperor is like when he is working? You, too, have never provoked anger in the Imperial Study Room. Your Majesty. Others, even the Queen Mother, can't do it." Chu Si was bubbling anxiously.
Shen Chuliu sighed, it was hard to say anything in front of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
"That's all, you go first, I'll be there right away."
"My servant is waiting for you outside." The fourth day of the lunar month was afraid that she wouldn't go. Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes at him and went to the inner room to change clothes.
In all conscience, she couldn't be bothered to take care of this matter. There was no need. How could such a big person starve herself to death
She can always get over it, but she begged for it on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. If the emperor knew that she refused to go today, wouldn't that be a surprise to her
What a trap.
Shen Chuliu arrived at the imperial study. There happened to be no ministers there at the moment, and only the emperor was busy inside.
Shen Chuliu came in, and when he said hello, the emperor raised his head and frowned: "Why are you here?"
"I thought the emperor was busy, so I came to serve him." Shen Chuliu smiled.
He stepped forward and tidied the things on the table a little.
Only then did Qi Yixiu stop: "I'm busy right now."
"Your Majesty, are you the one who doesn't know what's wrong with you?" Shen Chuliu glanced at the emperor: "Can you still be busy with political affairs? Does the emperor care about your health?"
Qi Yixiu frowned and didn't want to answer.
He usually has a smile on his face, but he really didn't have it today.
Shen Chuliu secretly cursed me for harming me on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but since I came here, I had to act like I was admonishing him.
"I am also heartbroken when something like this happens. Naturally, the emperor is the lord of all people, and no one is more miserable than you. But the people are still struggling. If you fall, who will plan for them?"
Qi Yixiu's face was pale: "My dear concubine, these words are meaningless."
"Then let me say something meaningful. If the emperor is ill, what will happen to the documents on this table?" Shen Chuliu said, sorting out the last pile: "Besides, in the past few days, I heard that the minister We are all the same, without food or sleep. You are young and can handle it. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is almost seventy!"
Qi Yixiu laughed: "What a mouthful you are! Are you here to persuade me, or are you here to blame me?"
"I've been here since I came, and everything is the same. Your Majesty, please take a rest." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu leaned back and pinched his eyebrows with his hands: "I'm worried."
"Your Majesty, the Yi Dynasty has had good weather for a hundred years, and there is nothing we can do about natural disasters. Now we are not short of food or people, we are just short of time. At least you can take care of yourself so that you can make overall plans."
"Yes." Qi Yixiu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt very sleepy.
Shen Chuliu then said: "At least eat something, and then sleep for an hour or two. I'm here to call you."
"Yeah." Qi Yixiu responded.
Shen Chuliu then asked someone to prepare a meal.
I don’t want to go back to the dormitory anymore. There is also a resting place behind the imperial study.
After a while, when it was ready, the emperor was asked to come and eat.
They were all simple and light soups. The emperor didn't have a good appetite, but he was still young after all, so he could eat a lot.
After eating, I simply washed up and rested here.
On the fourth day of the lunar month, he came closer and said, "Concubine Jing, you are so awesome."
"Stop blowing me off, and go and sleep for a while. The emperor can't leave you when he gets up."
The eunuch who serves personally is always the most tired.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I agreed, but I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I went to sleep for a while.
Shen Chuliu came out and sat outside, sighing: "It's really a disaster. I hope this incident will be over and nothing will happen."
Fortunately, the Yi Dynasty was rich enough, so as long as the people were still alive, they could recover.
While the emperor was resting, the queen ordered someone to bring a can of soup.
After receiving it, Shen Chuliu said: "When the emperor wakes up, I will definitely say that it is the empress's wish. Please rest assured, I will serve the emperor well."
