"The Ai family doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, but Li Zhaoyi's virtue is not worthy of being Zhaoyi." Empress Dowager Li suddenly spoke calmly.
Li Zhaoyi was shocked: "The Queen Mother, please calm down, I dare not say anything anymore."
Empress Dowager Li snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that your father is still doing meritorious service for me, Da Yi, the Ai family would punish you severely today. Now, because you know your mistake, just reflect on it. You should know what a concubine should do. What are the rules?"
"Yes, thank you Queen Mother for your instruction. I will definitely follow your instruction in the future." Li Zhaoyi bowed his head and blessed himself.
Queen Mother Li was too lazy to pay attention to her.
After such a interruption, what Shen Chuliu said just now makes sense. Empress Dowager Li is successful and Chang Chengzhang doesn't need to say too much.
The crowd dispersed quickly.
After leaving Ci'an Palace, Li Zhaoyi avoided Shen Chuliu.
But no one told her to hide.
Concubine Jin gloated: "Li Zhaoyi was so sworn just now, but I really want to know what you said?"
"Nothing." Li Zhaoyi snorted: "It's just gossip."
"Tsk, it seems that three slaps are not enough. Empress Li Zhaoyi doesn't have a good memory." Zhuang Jieyu covered her lips and smiled.
"What did you say!" Li Zhaoyi was angry: "You are just a little Jieyu! How dare you talk like that?"
"Li Zhaoyi, shut yourself up and think about it for a month. You will be fined a year and a month of silver." The queen got up and looked at Li Zhaoyi like an ant.
"The Queen..." Li Zhaoyi felt aggrieved.
"Go back to the palace." The queen said calmly, not bothering to pay attention to her at all.
"I thought you were about the same as your sister. I really admire your ability. I also admire your tutor." Shen Chuliu sneered.
Li Zhaoyi held her breath and did not dare to refute. She just said: "Of course it can't be compared to the Shen family."
"Of course you can't compare. If a fool like you came out of our Shen family, I'd probably strangle him to death long ago." Shen Chuliu snorted coldly and followed the queen away.
Li Zhaoyi resented it, but still left.
At the Queen Mother's side, Zhen Chongyi smiled and said, "This Li Zhaoyi is not smart."
"It's just because her father has some merit, but that's it. By the way, the emperor will send someone to the southwest after the year. I don't know who will go." Empress Dowager Li paused: "There is no need to count on the Li family."
"Yes." Zheng Chongyi thought. In fact, it's not that no one in the Li family can go, it's just...
After she recovered, she calmed down a lot and figured out many of her past mistakes.
The Li family really can't be too high-profile. What's more, now there is a marriage between Li Qiushui and the second prince.
This time, Queen Mother Li was satisfied with her calmness and said a few words of encouragement.
Compared with the Second Prince and the Ninth Prince, it is natural that the Ninth Prince is closer, and this has always been the case with Empress Dowager Li.
Zhenchongyi also figured it out.
In the Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu changed his clothes, and Grandma Zhang said: "Master, you must never be angry. You don't deserve it."
She went with her today.
He was afraid that Shen Chuliu would be angry because of Li Zhaoyi.
"It's really not worth it." Shen Chuliu said amusedly, "I'm not the one who should be angry right now." It's probably the emperor.
It's embarrassing. Although Qian was arrogant in the past, he was not so stupid.
Li Zhaoyi is really brainless.
If her father hadn't been suppressing bandits, she wouldn't have been able to keep her position as Zhaoyi. But yes, if her father hadn't suppressed the bandits, she wouldn't have been able to get Zhaoyi's position.
"Don't worry about her, it won't last long. But why is Zhuang Jieyu at odds with her?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Hey, it's not that Li Zhaoyi is too showy. After Zhuang Jieyu went to bed, Li Zhaoyi always acted strangely when talking to her. Didn't he talk back when he took the opportunity?" said Granny Zhang. Shen Chuliu shook his head: "Well, then I'll repay you in this world."
"So many things have happened this year. During the Chinese New Year, it's time for a few people to be promoted to the throne." Shen Chuliu said.
"Then... Master, can you... take a step further?" Nanny Zhang asked cautiously.
Shen Chuliu shook his head: "No, I don't want to. If I were promoted to the throne, what would Concubine Li say? After all, she has two princes. Besides, what is the difference between a concubine and a first-grade concubine? It’s so cold. Who dares to do anything to me right now?”
"Master has seen everything thoroughly." Nanny Zhang smiled.
Indeed, there is not much difference between being promoted to the position now and now, but on the contrary, there are more risks.
Although the Sixth Prince is already so old, he is still not mature. It is better to stay quiet for a few years and wait until the Sixth Prince is older. As for the fourth concubine of this rank, let Concubine Qian Shu's family dominate.
It's rare that the empress is also a person who can sit still.
"Don't talk about this. I have a good appetite today. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it. I'll have a pot for lunch. I'll bring it to you when Yan'er comes back." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Grandma Zhang agreed and left.
Li Zhaoyi got angry when she went back, throwing things and hitting people.
The person who served her did not dare to speak, but was extremely bored.
Li Zhaoyi was so angry that she didn't dare to say anything bad about Concubine Jing anymore, but she dared to speak against Zhuang Jieyu.
Now that she is grounded again, she will naturally not be able to come out within a month, and the emperor will not come now either.
In fact, the emperor had not been here since her miscarriage, and he was very indifferent to her.
But separated by a wall, she hated that Concubine Jing was so favored.
In the evening, the emperor went to Fengzao Palace and naturally mentioned this matter.
When the queen mentioned Li Zhaoyi, she wasn't too angry, just bored.
The emperor was determined, but they all knew that because of General Li, they couldn't really call him Li Zhaoyi at this time.
But this person can be regarded as... a completely boring figure in the hearts of the emperor and even the queen mother.
After two consecutive days of drizzle, the weather cooled down and the wind picked up again. It was November in the Imperial City and winter was finally here.
Shen Chuliu had already placed several braziers here, which were warm inside and out.
Separated by a wall, Li Zhaoyi encountered difficulties for the first time since entering the palace.
There is no more charcoal for the fire.
She is Zhaoyi, her status is not low, and she should use better charcoal fire. Unfortunately, she is not in power now, and there is not enough silver wire and charcoal this year. Naturally, Zhaoyi, who has lost power and is grounded, will not have her turn.
But this is also the reason why the people below watch what others eat.
Here at Shen Chuliu, there is only what is inexhaustible, and there will never be any shortage.
The sixth prince, on the other hand, was afraid that his mother might be missing something, so he checked it again.
Shen Chuliu was so amused that she replied: "Your mother and I are still a favored Concubine Jing, after all. Is your father going to take advantage of me like this?"
The Sixth Prince ignored it and felt relieved after seeing it himself.
This time, the poisonous scorpion matter was still very concerning to him. It would be better for his mother to see it.
Shen Chuliu poked his forehead: "Who do you think you followed?"
The sixth prince was poked and his head shook: "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Go hungry." Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes at him, but still waved her hand: "Let's prepare the meal earlier."
The Sixth Prince chuckled and thought, I will definitely follow you, but I can't say it, because I will get beaten if I do.
