The Empress is Always Unambitious

Chapter 440: Lazy

Views:

Concubine Qian Shu's tears fell instantly: "It's my mother's incompetence that makes you feel wronged. But no matter what, you are still your father's prince, and you cannot be wronged no matter what. You are still the eldest son."

"Yes, concubine, you are also the first person after the queen. You should not fight with others." The second prince wiped the tears of Concubine Qian Shu.

In fact, after the sixth prince fell into the water, the second prince grew up rapidly.

Although he is not too old yet, he already knows that the road ahead will be difficult.

After all, as a prince, who wouldn’t want to fight

It would be fine if there was a legitimate son, but there wasn't. Since there wasn't, then all the princes had the same starting point.

What's more, his mother-in-law is the noble Concubine Qian Shu, and he has a higher status than his brothers.

However, after experiencing so much, he also knows that this is not an easy thing to do, at least he will not act recklessly.

In fact, because of the rapid downfall of the Feng family and the death of Empress Dowager Feng, it has grown even more rapidly and meticulously.

Concubine Qianshu didn't have many means, but she still had status after all.

He knew exactly what the second prince's situation was, but after all, as the eldest son, he still had a chance of winning.

What's more, although the Feng family has fallen, isn't the Feng family's wife still there? This also means that the outside world cannot understand the emperor's thoughts.

"Don't be anxious, concubine. The situation is not good for us now. You must not argue with others. You know the Queen's temperament. Just don't mess with her. As for others... Concubine Kande is insidious, but she can't be innocent. . As for Concubine Jing, she hates what happened back then, and she won’t say anything if you don’t mess with her.”

"Rui'er..." Concubine Qianshu was a little shocked.

She had always been the one to protect the child, but she didn't expect that the child knew so much now.

"Mother, my son still has a long road ahead. Don't be impatient. There will always be a time when we two can live a good life." The second prince smiled.

Concubine Qianshu nodded, lowered her head and wiped her tears again, and finally fell silent.

She never had much love for her, even when the emperor was most affectionate towards her, it was just when she first entered the palace.

Since entering the palace and giving birth to a child, she has never been favored by the late emperor in a serious way except during the period of filial piety.

Later, her thoughts were not here.

She is single-minded and has plans for her children.

Now, there is nothing left to hold on to, only the child, and the child is still her child.

They are the closest people.

After seeing off the second prince, Concubine Qian Shu said after being silent for a long time: "In the past, those who had good relations with the Feng family sent a message to my mother and brothers to protect them. Maybe it is useless now, maybe one day, Feng Home may be restored to its former self.”

"Hey, don't worry, Master." The palace maid responded.

Concubine Qianshu sat in front of the window and became silent.

She really... doesn't need to fight for favor in the harem. She didn't fight for results in her best years, so what's the use of fighting now

This Mid-Autumn Festival passed like this, neither salty nor bland.

At the family banquet, the emperor was still in a good mood, but not very high.

Seeing the emperor's expression, everyone naturally did not dare to make a fuss and dispersed early.

It happened to be raining again, so there was no time to admire the moon.

Just go back and forget it.

On the first day of September, Su Jieyu had just returned from greeting the Queen and saw her.

The imperial doctor was called urgently, and it was naturally not good to see redness within six months.

After the imperial doctor looked at it, he only said that the fetus was unstable.

The Queen only cares about things that have nothing to do with her, and doesn't want to interfere with anything else.

But Su Jieyu herself didn't say anything, she just asked for leave to concentrate on raising her baby. The next day, the first phase of disaster relief in the north came to an end, and the construction of residential buildings was still in progress.

In order to prevent people from freezing to death when the weather is cold, a lot of things were urgently dispatched to the north. There are many places where tents are set up.

It is difficult to start construction in the north in winter, so we can only set up tents to keep out the cold.

Wait until spring begins before building a house.

For this matter, Qi Yixiu directly dispatched his trusted ministers. Regardless of whether the matter could be done well, at least he did not dare to enrich his own pockets and do nothing.

Because of this year's disaster, Northern Xinjiang and other places where troops were stationed took the opportunity to recruit many new soldiers, and many people who could not survive often joined the army.

This also means that the troops in Northern Xinjiang have expanded a lot.

Shen Changjing and others will not come back this year.

After a summer of repairs, the Jade Palace is almost complete.

Shen Chuliu took people to the Jade Palace, and the emperor came with interest.

"How's it going? I've been busy and haven't come here these days. Have you read it? If you're not satisfied with anything, just fix it. It's rare that you've already fixed it like this. It will be troublesome to wait until you move in."

Qi Yixiu said and looked around. From the entrance gate, the hanging flower door, to every corridor column, they were all exquisite and beautiful.

The carvings and paintings on the chaoshou corridor are mainly landscapes and mythological stories.

The meaning is excellent.

The main hall is naturally the best, with newly painted pillars, new window lattice, and glass.

The east and west side halls are also clean and beautiful.

On the west side of the main hall is the study room, and on the east side is a place for Shen Chuliu to rest and put some of his favorite odds and ends.

For example, if she likes embroidery, she can do it here.

Upon entering, there is a door in the middle of the main hall, leading to the main hall where Shen Chuliu lives at the back. So to be precise, this is a small separate courtyard.

The houses on both sides of the main hall are basically only used for entertaining guests or other purposes. No one lives there.

Yao Baolin's residence is the east side hall, but the east side hall here is much smaller than the back hall. But no matter how small it was, it was still bigger than Cuiyunxuan, so Qi Yixiu naturally didn't want to look there.

But you can see it pretty well just by passing by.

The back room is where the slaves live.

There are also several dedicated warehouses.

The eunuchs live in the front room, which is separated from the inside by a hanging flower door.

It was the corner where the eunuchs lived and kept some sundries.

You can't see anything from the main entrance.

The layout is very reasonable. Most of the big items have been added now. All we have to do is wait for Shen Chuliu to move everything.

"When do you want to move?" Qi Yixiu asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it next year." Shen Chuliu said.

Qi Yixiu thought for a while: "Okay, let's do it next year. When you move in and it happens to be your birthday, let's have a big one. Next year, your canonization ceremony can also be held."

Shen Chuliu was stunned, but he had forgotten about the canonization ceremony. The canonization ceremony for concubine was not just about kowtow to the queen.

We also have to deal with people outside. Without a palace, this would really be impossible.

"My concubine has forgotten this matter, which shows that she is lazy." Shen Chuliu shook his head.

Qi Yixiu laughed: "I forgot that someone reminded you that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already prepared it, and your dress is almost done. But the date has not been decided yet."
