"Yes, it's been five or six years." Chi Su looked outside anxiously: "With this weather, we can't get food for a while, please go take a look."
"Don't worry, they can't do anything. How dare they delay me?" Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
"But with this weather, Yan'er should know that she won't come back, right?"
"Then he must know. Didn't Yin Hu tell him too?" Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu nodded. Sure enough, it was almost time and the sixth prince didn't come.
Yuanxiao and a few young eunuchs carried the food box back in the rain. The weather was bad today, so it was a huge food box with small inside, so that it would not get wet or cold.
Shen Chuliu could still eat on time here, and Yao Meiren who followed her naturally also ate on time. But there are always people who can't.
For example, Yongning Palace.
Xue Meiren, who had just given birth to a baby, had food delivered on time, but Qian Jieyu, who lived in the same palace, could not wait.
Qian Jieyu was very angry: "She is nothing more than a beauty! She has a princess, and I have a prince! Why do you dare to treat me so slowly?"
The maids tried to persuade her for a long time, but fortunately Qian Jieyu didn't dare to make a fuss now, so she managed to suppress her anger.
Qian Jieyu was half an hour late, but at least she had plenty of everything.
In Changqiu Xuan, Wen Chongrong looked at the meal and frowned.
This is too bad. It is because of the weather today that many things are not ready, but this is a bit perfunctory.
It's just that Wen Chongrong didn't dare to make a fuss like Shen Chuliu, so he could only endure it.
The worst is Qingzhi Pavilion.
Chen Xiaoyi looked at the food on the table and really wished she could smash it all.
What is this, cabbage soup
But she didn't dare to make trouble.
Next door, Shen Gengyi and Ging Guo were relatively calm: "I think today's soup is okay, but it's cold. Didn't you light a fire early in the morning? If it's hot, let's make rice and eat it."
Ging Guo sighed: "This soup is okay, the bones are very fresh. It just so happens that you like to eat radishes. These two vegetable slaves will also warm them up."
Even though she was changing clothes, her food was not much better than that of a palace maid, but because of Shen Chuliu, she could still have two dishes and one soup.
There was nothing we could do about the late delivery, but the food was still good after all.
A heavy rain can make it more obvious where the treatment is not good.
But this was a trivial matter after all, and what was more serious was that something happened to the Ninth Prince in Ruiqing Palace at night.
This time it was not Jingmeng, but that he fell and broke his arm.
Empress Dowager Li was shocked when she heard about it and hurriedly went to Ruiqing Palace to visit.
Zhen Xiaoyi also hurried away.
Li Qiushui helped the Queen Mother to Ruiqing Palace. The Emperor and Queen had already arrived.
It was the Ninth Prince who was just having fun, and the people below couldn't control him, so he had to come out. The steps were covered with rainwater, and it hadn't stopped yet.
So he fell and broke his right hand immediately.
The person is fine, but this will hurt his muscles and bones for a hundred days.
Queen Mother Li saw the Ninth Prince crying in pain, feeling distressed and angry: "Who seduced the Ninth Prince out!"
The maids, eunuchs and nuns knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Mother, please calm down. If you serve the prince unfavorably, you will be punished." Qi Yi cultivated.
Empress Dowager Li's chest heaved, looking at the situation, it was the Ninth Prince's own problem, which made people angry.
Why are you so careless
Zhen Xiaoyi cried softly: "Jue'er's health is not good to begin with. She often has nightmares, and now she fell again..."
"Okay, there's no point in crying. What did the imperial doctor say?" the Queen Mother asked.
The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward: "Don't be too anxious, the Queen Mother. She just broke her wrist. There is no big problem in reconnecting it. However, it needs to be cultivated for at least two months. During these two months, it is not suitable to move the right hand."
"How will things get better in the future?" The Queen Mother was afraid that the child's hands would become crippled. "Oh, don't worry, Queen Mother, there won't be any side effects, just be sure to take good care of it."
It would be hard to say if it breaks again.
The Queen Mother nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Those who do not serve the master well will be beaten by the Ai family."
"Pull him out and beat him, don't scare the children."
Qi Yi practiced Taoism.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he asked people to take these people to a distance outside Ruiqing Palace and beat them.
This is also unjust. The people served by the Ninth Prince are really miserable. They have been replaced several times, and now they are still being beaten.
When Empress Dowager Li returned, she did not ask the emperor to send her off. It was still Li Qiushui and others who served her back.
Because it was dark and the ground was slippery, Queen Mother Li walked slowly while sitting.
After walking out of Ruiqing Palace and passing Fuyang Palace and Lan Yuexuan, a eunuch's feet suddenly slipped. He lost his balance and the eight eunuchs who were carrying him staggered.
Before he could stabilize himself, the other eunuch slipped again and the whole platform tilted down.
The Queen Mother screamed in fright. Fortunately, the accompanying eunuchs had sharp eyesight and quick hands. Several of them supported the Queen Mother regardless of their own safety.
But others were not so lucky. As they were knocked down, the eunuchs all fell on the palace road.
Li Qiushui's girl failed to hold her up, and she was also brought down on the palace road.
Then there was a scream.
A mess.
When the eunuchs and maids from other places arrived, no one paid attention to Li Qiushui. They all helped the frightened Queen Mother to get up first.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother was frightened and did not fall.
Concubine Qianshu and Fang Baolin, who lived in Lan Yuexuan, also came out, both of them were very frightened.
Someone has already gone to invite the Emperor and Queen.
The Queen Mother fell, and the other concubines did not dare not come out.
At this moment, everyone saw what happened to Li Qiushui. She covered her face with her hands, and there was blood between her fingers, and it was even dripping down.
Concubine Qianshu made a sound, took a few steps forward, and saw everything clearly under the lanterns of the palace ladies.
It's over.
Li Qiushui himself stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say or do.
The Queen Mother realized that she saw all this and frowned: "Call the imperial doctor."
It's a pity that Li Qiu Shui is covering her face and bleeding so much. I'm afraid... the imperial doctor won't be able to save her face.
The eunuch Jingzhe shouted: "Why are there so many sharp stones here?"
I saw a small piece of sharp stones scattered in the corner of the wall, and two of them were stained with blood.
"Rebellion! Rebellious!" Queen Mother Li was furious when she saw the stone: "Surround this place for the Ai family, and no one is allowed to pass. Let the Ai family see what's going on."
"The Queen Mother, there is oil on the ground, no wonder they can't walk steadily." Autumn Equinox squatted down and said: "God damn it, who dares to harm the Queen Mother?"
At this moment, Concubine Qianshu's face turned pale. It was hard to explain that this happened on the palace road next to her Fuyang Palace.
Soon, the emperor and empress arrived, and Qi Yi's face was darker than ever before.
This is so blatant that even the Queen Mother would dare to harm her. If this really happened, the Queen Mother would be very old...
At this time, Li Qiu Shui didn't know whether he lost too much blood or couldn't bear the blow, and completely fainted.
The queen stepped forward and took a look. There were blood stains on the left side of her face and forehead. The left side of her face was fine, but there was just a cut. The bones were already visible on her forehead.
