"I originally thought that my life would be ruined, but Your Majesty is so kind to me. With such a marriage, I can live a good life even if I am disfigured." Li Qiushui had red eyes.
"Just think clearly, this palace is not simple. This time maybe it scares you. But you are going to be the second prince's first wife, after all, the first wife, that's different."
"Yes, my granddaughter understands. I will learn from you in everything."
"You don't need to imitate the Ai family. You have your own way of living. But don't imitate your aunt. You have a gentle temper, but you also have your own ideas. The Ai family knows that. From now on, you should take care of yourself. Now that you are hurt, there is no need to rush back. , I live here in the Ai family. There are many people and things going on, which is not conducive to your recovery. The Ai family won’t coax you, and the scar on your forehead won’t be a problem.”
Li Qiushui smiled: "I thought it couldn't be removed from my face. My forehead is fine. At worst, I'll put a yellow patch on it. Although it's a little crooked, it's still fun to be crooked."
"What I'm saying is, it's best if you just think about it." Queen Mother Li really liked this junior.
Smart and tolerant, much better than Zhenchong Yi, hey.
When Shen Chuliu arrived at Tai Chi Palace, he was taken to the small garden.
She hasn't been here for a long time, probably more than a year.
When the emperor saw her coming, he waved: "Come."
"Your Majesty, are you drinking at night by candlelight?" Shen Chuliu greeted with a smile.
"Sit down." Qi Yixiu pointed to the opposite side.
Shen Chuliu sat down and looked at the six side dishes and a bottle of wine on the table.
Instead, she had prepared bowls, chopsticks and a wine cup.
"I came here first because I have nothing to do. I just want to have some wine with my beloved concubine." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu raised her eyebrows, and without saying anything, a palace maid poured wine for her.
She took a sip and said, "Oh, this wine has a lot of energy. Is your Majesty asking to get drunk?"
The drink I drank was Bamboo Leaf Green. This wine also had demonic properties. It was obviously not a high alcohol content, but it had a lot of stamina.
"Is my drinking capacity that bad? I'm not bad, and I know you are not bad either. Come on." Qi Yixiu actually clinked his wine glass with her.
Shen Chuliu was so amused that he had a drink with him.
The wine was really good, with a mellow aroma and endless aftertaste. She took a few bites of the food and filled it up for both the emperor and herself.
"Singing over wine, tusk, the emperor will enjoy it." Shen Chuliu didn't even ask if the emperor was in a bad mood.
She felt that the emperor could not be in a bad mood because of the execution of an An family member. It was probably due to troubles or the accumulation of other people's troubles.
"Singing over wine, why don't you, my beloved concubine, sing a song? Or dance under the moonlight for me?" Qi Yixiu looked at her with a smile.
Shen Chuliu snorted: "Is this concubine a dancing girl?"
"Well, not my concubine. My concubine is of noble birth, so naturally she disdains these things." Qi Yixiu smiled again.
"Your Majesty, please stop irritating me." Shen Chuliu drank a toast: "Why are you not still a concubine here with your Majesty? What's the difference? But speaking of my concubine's background, it is naturally not low. The Shen family has raised me ten thousand years. I can't forget about it after entering the palace, so I don't want to be wronged when facing Li Zhaoyi and others. "
"By the way, I beat her last time. The emperor hasn't spoken to me yet." Shen Chuliu said.
"What are you talking about? Is this the first time you've hit someone?" Qi Yixiu thought about what happened that day and it was funny.
Those three slaps were given to me. This woman had been holding back for who knows how long.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Okay, since the emperor is so kind to me, let me sing a song for the emperor."
As she said that, she picked up a chopstick and tapped it lightly on the bowl in front of her: "When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is it tonight..."
Although she is not good at singing, she is not out of tune and her voice is nice.
It's just not high, it's low, but it seems to be singing in people's hearts. After finishing the song, Qi Yixiu poured some wine for her: "My beloved concubine's singing voice is also the sound of nature."
Shen Chuliu didn't answer, and she just hummed casually.
The two of them drank another glass, and by now the bottle of wine was gone.
The second pot was delivered, and someone changed the dishes.
It was rare for the two of them to chat with each other without any distractions. After a while, they drank three bottles of wine.
A pot weighs more than six liang. According to modern calculations, this is just two pounds less.
Moreover, there is no bias between two people, basically one drink per person.
To say more, at most the emperor drank one or two more glasses of wine before Shen Chuliu came. Not much really.
The people who were waiting were all shocked. Concubine Jing's drinking capacity was too high. The key was that she didn't appear drunk even after drinking.
On the fourth day of the lunar month, he said bravely: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing, it's getting late, you two should rest."
"Noisy." Qi Yixiu was dissatisfied: "When did you come to urge me?"
On the fourth day of the lunar month, he said with a bitter face: "You two drank a lot... drinking too much will be harmful to your health."
"No more." Shen Chuliu smiled: "It's late autumn and the day is hot. It's just the right time. I'll have a meeting with the emperor. You collect the food and wine and bring some tea."
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I hurriedly responded. That's good. I'll change the tea and let them relieve their hangover.
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything during the whole process. He was naturally not drunk, but he was still tipsy. He rarely indulged himself in drinking too much, and he never got drunk.
So even if he didn't persuade him on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he would never drink again.
But surprisingly, Concubine Jing and his ability to drink are really good.
Both of them are people who don't show shame when they drink. If you look at their appearance, you really can't tell anything.
But if you look closely, you can see that Shen Chuliu's almond-shaped eyes are full of moisture. Even more lovable.
When the tea was served, Shen Chuliu lay facelessly on the stone table, resting his chin on his arms.
Then he started singing again. This time, she sang a children's song. She sang word by word slowly: "Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of little stars..."
After she finished singing, Qi Yixiu smiled and stood up.
Shen Chu Liu was lazy and tilted her head to look at him.
Qi Yixiu walked very steadily and even picked up Shen Chuliu: "It seems that my beloved concubine is a little drunk."
"Well, the same." Shen Chuliu hooked his neck and yawned.
There was nothing wrong with her drinking too much, she was mainly sleepy.
He was carried back, and before he could wash himself, he was placed on the Dragon Tower.
Qi Yixiu pressed down on her from a high position, smoothed away a strand of hair from her cheek, looked at her beautiful face and eyes and suddenly asked: "Everyone asks me if I remember their names, why don't you ask me, my beloved concubine?"
"Everyone asks if the emperor remembers their names, because they know that the emperor does not remember. But they cannot believe that the emperor really does not remember. I don't ask because I know that the emperor remembers, and I believe that the emperor remembers, so I don't Need to ask.”
Qi Yixiu gently rubbed the corners of her eyes with his thumb: "How dare you think that I remember? Huh?"
