Li Xiaoyi was not embarrassed at all: "That's impossible to say. Forget it, I can't learn from Sister Shen."
"When I first entered the palace, none of the lower-ranking concubines were so eloquent. Now Shen Cai and Li Xiaoyi are really good talkers." Yi Chongyuan's voice was cold.
"How low was your original low position? Could it be that Empress Yi Chongyuan was talking about being below Jieyu?" Li Xiaoyi smiled: "I am confused, how high is considered high? How low is considered low?"
Shen Chuliu smiled and naturally didn't answer, but he showed that he didn't care much either.
Ning Jieyu smiled: "If you say you are good at talking, then you are good at talking. Naturally, the lower rank is below the ninth concubine."
"Thank you sister Ning Jieyu for your teaching." Li Xiaoyi stood up and said seriously: "Let's just say, I have been studying since I was a child, how could I forget it?"
"It's not that you haven't studied, it's that some people have always had a high opinion of themselves." Yi Fei smiled softly: "What do you think, Sister Jin Fei?"
Concubine Jin smiled: "That's right."
Yi Chongyuan was furious and gritted her teeth: "It is not good to think highly of oneself. Who is different from the other who is aloof and aloof?"
At this time, the queen came out, everyone stood up and saluted, and naturally the incident was over.
Shen Chuliu is very funny. Saying hello is really an interesting thing.
This is Yi Chongyuan's satire on Shen Chuliu and Li Xiaoyi who have low status and talk too much. Li Xiaoyi retorted that Yi Chongyuan had just risen, wasn't she just a beauty when she first entered the palace, and later became Jie Yu
Ning Jieyu responded that the ninth concubine was a low-ranking concubine and could not be called empress. She has been fighting with Yi Chongyuan for many years, so naturally she has grudges.
What Yi Fei means is that Yi Chongyuan has always had a high regard for herself, and when she was Jie Yu, she took herself to a high position.
Yi Chongyuan also sarcastically said that Concubine Yi was aloof and aloof. In fact, they both had the same bad background.
Sure enough, the emperor's favor is protection, when Yi Chongyuan was favored before. Yi Fei also gave her face. Ning Jieyu didn't dare to contradict him like this.
Now that she was missing a reward, it was a signal, and naturally all sorts of problems came up.
It's a pity that she has always been an average person. Although it's not yet time for everyone to push her against the wall, she is at least not as smooth as she used to be.
"Thinking about the past when we were still in the house, we were modest and reasonable. Now these little girls are indeed better than us." Concubine Feng Shu said this to Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi smiled: "Look at what you said, empress. Isn't it a good thing that the empress is generous and the sisters are lively? People's tempers are different."
"What Concubine Yi said is true. It's good for me to look at them. Let's make a fuss and talk about it. As long as there are no bad thoughts, the harem will be lively. Emei, I appreciate Shen Cairen and Li Xiaoyi. Let's just talk about it this year Choose the jewelry that suits them and give it to them. If you can serve the emperor well in this palace, it will be good."
The queen smiled.
Shen Chuliu and Li Xiaoyi were busy thanking each other.
Shen Chuliu applauded the queen in his heart.
The queen never showed mercy when she slapped Concubine Feng Shu.
When she first entered the palace, she thought that Concubine Feng Shu, with Empress Dowager Feng's back and a prince behind her, might be able to suppress the empress.
However, within a few months of joining, I realized that Feng Shufei was really not that lucky.
As for the queen, it's probably because she was born as a princess and she does things in a grand manner.
She didn't seem to care what happened to the emperor. She punished him when he deserved it and rewarded him when he deserved it. She never showed any strength when she slapped Concubine Feng.
Sure enough, Concubine Feng Shu's face turned ugly for this reward, but she could only say yes with a smile.
As for Yi Chongyuan, who was said to have been swept away, the queen didn't care at all.
If this wasn't a wrong stance, it would be really exciting to interact with someone like the Queen.
What a pity.
When leaving Fengzao Palace, Shen Chuliu and Li Xiaoyi were naturally glared at by Feng Shufei.
As for Yi Chongyuan, she was so angry that she left without even wanting to look at them.
With the Queen's behavior, at least on the surface, neither Feng Shufei nor Yi Chongyuan dared to do anything.
As for the backside, as long as there is favor, you have to guard it, which is not surprising.
In the courtyard of Fengzao Palace, the queen was sitting there basking in the sun. "Empress, do you see Shen Cai and Li Xiaoyicheng?" Peilan asked.
"Whether it works or not, we will know later. These two will climb up sooner or later. I don't bother to win over her, so there is no need to offend her." The queen smiled: "As for Yi Chongyuan, let's see her luck."
The Queen had never paid attention to Concubine Feng Shu.
It's just that in the past, she relied on her being a Liangdi and having a good family background to not give face to the queen who was still the crown prince.
The queen ignored her at first, but when Feng became more aggressive, the queen became rude.
Pian Qi Yixiu also acquiesced in his attitude, which made Feng shi restrain himself.
It's just that Concubine Feng Shu always thought that she had a high position because of the prince, and never thought about anything else.
And because she was stupid enough, the emperor tolerated her.
The queen never cared.
"It seems that Concubine Yi and Concubine Feng Shu are not doing so well." Emei said with a smile.
"As long as Concubine Fan Yi has an heir." The Queen chuckled: "That's all, if Lu has these abilities, why should I support you?"
The queen treats Lu Xiaoyi in general, but she can't be a polished queen, she still needs help.
"Your Majesty, please drink the medicine." The slave below brought the medicine to support the fetus.
The Queen responded and drank half the bowl.
When I returned to Cuiyunxuan, I saw the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arriving.
Holding something.
When I met Shen Chuliu and Yao Baolin, I hurriedly said hello.
"These are some wild products, all fried. You two can eat them. I'm on my way to the imperial garden to do errands. I'm just passing by, so I brought them to you." The eunuch said politely.
"Thank you for your help, Yuanxiao. I'll send it to my father-in-law, but remember to bring some money for tea." Shen Chuliu smiled.
The eunuch left with great gratitude.
He didn't do it for the money. Of course, money is a good thing and no one can have too much.
But now that the master is favored, he is here to show his face.
Isn't it like this in the palace? If someone is favored, the servants will rush to flatter him. Those who are out of favor will be stepped on a few times.
If we had put this aside last year, we would have gone to Yichongyuan, but hasn’t the trend changed this year
After sending the eunuch away, Shen Chuliu asked Zizhu and the others to share it.
They are some chestnuts and hazelnuts, sent to the imperial city from the north.
Yao Baolin is taking advantage, otherwise she would not be able to do this if she has been out of favor for many years.
"Thank you Chu Liu." Yao Baolin didn't dare to refuse, looking a little shy.
"You're welcome." Shen Chuliu didn't care about this.
When you are favored, these things are worthless.
Although it is realistic, this is the fact. This is the case in the palace. When you have to use money for everything, it means your life will be difficult.
But when someone gives you something without money, you don’t lack anything.
Shen Chuliu opened the jewelry gifted by the queen. It was a pair of gold hairpins made in the shape of lotus flowers, which were extremely exquisite.
