Mrs. Lin suddenly said: "Mother-in-law, you are still thoughtful."
"Okay, go back and take good care of the baby." Mrs. Zheng said to Mrs. Ye.
He also hurriedly thanked the old lady, held his stomach and left.
Back in the house, Mrs. Ye sighed: "Your Majesty, you are such a good person."
The girls were also puzzled and had no choice but to comply.
After these two days, Shen Chuliu only had one more day to rest. But no matter how tiring it is, it’s only fifteen years. After fifteen years, this year has passed.
On the 15th, it is also the time when everyone is waiting to see how this year's lanterns will be rewarded.
After the banquet at Tai Chi Palace, this stage finally came.
Of course, there are also people who don't care, such as the Queen Mother and Shen Chuliu.
For people with absolutely high status, this is just a toy.
And for those who are favored, this is just the icing on the cake.
But it is precisely because they do not lack this that they have it, and those who hope to have it may not be able to have it.
This year's lanterns, in addition to the tributes from the south, also have new designs made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Not many, just a dozen or twenty, and the total number is about fifty.
There are thirty of these princes and princesses alone or two of them.
There are still about twenty, how to divide them
The Queen Mother has three virginities, and the Queen has three virginities. One each for Concubine Qian Shu and Concubine Kangde, one for Concubine Shun, two for Concubine Jing, two for Concubine Li, and one for Ning Zhaorong, Su Xiuyi, Yan Xiurong, Zhenchongyi, and Wen Chongrong.
There is also Yi Jieyu and Mei Jieyu.
Further down, there is only one Yu Jieyu.
Obviously there are three more, but the emperor no longer rewards them.
However, this year’s reward really didn’t show much, and everyone felt the same.
Even if you can't tell, judging from the promotion, you should know who needs to be taken care of now.
I don’t know why the weather was so windy. On the morning of the 15th or 16th, before people got up, snow particles started to fall outside.
Shen Chuliu sighed: "This God can really torment people."
But today I have to go to the Queen to pay my respects. Everyone had to get up.
After packing myself up, I went to Fengzao Palace, and sure enough, everyone arrived one after another.
Everyone sat down according to their positions and paid their respects.
Concubine Qian Shu didn't look in good spirits today. Maybe it was the Chinese New Year and she was thinking of her relatives.
After the second prince persuaded her last time, she really calmed down a lot and stopped fighting.
It's a pity that her personality is like this, so her restraint is only temporary.
What's more, there is Concubine Kangde who wants to deliberately make her angry all the time.
Concubine Jin, who had not been promoted and had no access to the lamp, felt a little shameless today, so it was difficult for her to keep a low profile.
In this way, it seems that Zhenchongyi is a bit harsh towards Yan Xiurong.
"Yan Xiurong's outfit doesn't look very happy. It's still the first month of the year, and she has just been promoted to the throne, so she is wearing something plain, right?"
Yan Xiurong always looks elegant, and today she is just wearing a beige skirt.
"I'm used to it." She said calmly. "Yan Xiurong has always been like this, whether it's promotion or Chinese New Year, how could Yan Xiurong notice it?" Ning Zhaorong said with a smile.
"I don't agree with what Sister Ning Zhaorong said." Yan Xiurong smiled faintly: "Promoting to the throne is a happy event, why wouldn't I care? How can any woman in the harem not care about her position? I don't That arrogant person.”
"When I first entered the palace, who did you say something? That Empress Ning Zhaorong said that she didn't care about her status when she was still a beauty? Oh, empress Ning Zhaorong is a noble person. We Everyone cares. This time, Jieyu was so moved that I was promoted to the throne," Mei Jieyu said with a smile.
"Ha, Ning Zhaorong is probably the only one who is not happy about being promoted. But you are not happy about not being promoted this time, are you happy?" Concubine Li also laughed.
Li Fei and Ning Zhaorong also had some old grudges, but they weren't too deep. Maybe when they exchanged a few words, why was she being polite
Shen Chuliu just smiled and said nothing.
But if she doesn't say it, some people can't hold it in.
"What do you think, Concubine Jing?" Zhengchongyi probably asked as the person in charge.
"What did you say?" Shen Chuliu picked up the tea: "Speaking of it, this woman has changed a lot. I still remember the time when Concubine Li first entered the palace. I just thought about it, she looks really good-looking and has a good temper. After so many years, it becomes more and more interesting.”
Li Fei laughed: "It makes me feel ashamed to ask my sister to praise me like this. The same goes for my sister. Over the years, she has become more and more interesting."
"But you said, you and I have not changed, how come this Zhenchongyi has become like this? When I first entered the palace, I was dignified and virtuous, and I feel ashamed. How come I can't remember the Ninth Prince since I gave birth to him? What happened to her in the past?" Shen Chuliu shook his head.
Li Fei smiled and didn't stop talking. She was just vague: "Maybe it's you and me who are wrong, and it's right to change?"
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Maybe."
No one could tell that this was a mockery of Zhenchong Yi, who has now become a bitter and mean person who only competes for favors.
Zhenchongyi wanted to refute, but couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would be like admitting it.
He could only smile and said, "Concubine Jing is joking."
Shen Chuliu said calmly: "God knows, I didn't really want to joke with you. But you called me, so I couldn't ignore you."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Jin snorted: "Oh, Concubine Jing, when you tell a joke, tell me in advance, I will spit out the tea."
Everyone also wanted to laugh, but they couldn't hold it back due to Zhen Chongyi's appearance.
Zheng Chongyi's face turned red, but she couldn't really act out, so she could only remain silent.
As for Ning Zhaorong and Yan Xiurong, one was used to being aloof and the other was really aloof, so they stopped talking.
The queen came out, made routine inquiries, and then left early.
The snow particles outside have turned into heavy snow, which is a rare sight in the imperial city. Although it is very cold, everyone is in high spirits.
Shen Chuliu went back in no hurry: "Let's go enjoy the plum blossoms! Aren't there plum blossoms that bloom at this time?"
Yao Baolin smiled: "Yes, yes, many plum blossoms in the Royal Garden bloom at this time of the first lunar month. It is in these days that they bloom very well."
"Let's go, let's go." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Where are you going, please bring me with you." Rong Jieyu came over and said.
Shen Chuliu waved to her, meaning to leave.
Soon, the three of them went to the Royal Garden.
The plum blossoms here are indeed in full bloom, and the plum blossoms in the snow are something special to see.
Shen Chuliu said with a smile: "I still remember that year, because I didn't want to run into Concubine Yi, so I went to Rong Jieyu's place to enjoy the plum blossoms. In the blink of an eye, it has been all these years."
"Isn't that right? Concubine Yi has been dead for so many years." Rong Jieyu smiled: "It was also because I was able to appreciate plum blossoms that I was promoted to Jieyu. Later I got a title."
"I'm too old to remember those days, but you were still young." Yao Baolin said with a smile. Nowadays, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are a little deeper.
