In Cuiyun Pavilion, the girls came in: "Master, the Emperor is coming this way."
Li Zhaoyi became excited and hurriedly stood up: "Go and greet her quickly."
After that, he added: "How is this palace? How does it look?"
"My queen is very good, everything is fine." The girl said happily.
She hurriedly helped the person to the door, and saw Yu Jia, but Yu Jia couldn't get in. Went straight to the next door.
Before Li Zhaoyi had time to say hello, her face was livid, and she said to the girl who reported the news: "You're talking nonsense!"
The girl knelt down, but she just lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. She was also anxious...
Cuiluan said hurriedly: "Master, don't be angry. The Emperor will naturally come when your confinement is over. It doesn't matter if you hit people like this. If people find out, how much will they say? Besides, the people below also have good intentions."
Li Zhaoyi snorted: "Kneel down."
The little palace maid didn't dare to refute, so she agreed and knelt inside the gate of Cuiyunxuan.
Next door, Shen Chuliu greeted him outside the palace gate, and Qi Yixiu had already entered through the gate.
"Yan'er just returned." Shen Chuliu said greetings.
The emperor came over and helped her up: "It's cold outside, are you feeling better?"
"It's nothing. I can't go and pay my respects. But it's cold and I don't like to move." Shen Chuliu said.
The emperor led her inside and felt really warm: "What kind of incense did you burn here? It smells good."
"I don't dare to burn incense randomly. I used the fragrant dew given by the emperor and put a few drops on the stove." Naturally, the brazier she placed here cannot be as ugly as a pot of fire.
There is a smoking cage made of brass and iron, with a shelf inside, and a charcoal pot placed on it. It will not burn the ground, and it looks good.
Because it uses smokeless silver wire carbon and occasionally gold wire carbon, the hollow smoker cage shell is very clean.
If there is an emergency, you can hang clothes and other things to bake.
Shen Chuliu dropped a few drops of rose scented dew on the shell. After it was roasted by the fire, the room was filled with a faint warm fragrance of roses, which was particularly interesting.
"My beloved concubine is always the best at taking care of things." Qi Yixiu laughed at her.
"Your Majesty must like it, but Your Majesty, you have to keep it a secret. No one is allowed to learn this secret of my concubine. There have been many people who have imitated my concubine's make-up before, and it has made the emperor lose his heart." Shen Chuliu said deliberately.
"You, you, who can learn like this?" Qi Yixiu laughed again: "What's wrong today? You didn't dress up well?"
"What time of the year are you still dressing up? The main reason is that you didn't know the emperor was coming. If you had known, I would have dressed up well." Shen Chuliu sat down next to the emperor.
Qi Yixiu took advantage of the situation and hugged her: "My beloved concubine is very beautiful even without dressing up. I didn't come to see you in vain, I brought you something."
As he spoke, he waved to the side.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a box was handed over: "Jing Fei, look at it."
Opening the box, there was a velvet mat inside, with four small white jade bottles placed side by side. They were very beautiful, and the bottles were not big, as big as a palm.
"What is this?" Shen Chuliu was curious and picked one up.
"Open it." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu opened it and saw nothing.
Qi Yixiu smiled, took the bottle, took her hand, and poured some light green powder on the back of her hand.
Then slowly rub it open with your thumb.
Shen Chuliu was extremely surprised: "Powder? Isn't this too delicate?"
After all, this is ancient times, and the best and most delicate powders we usually use are definitely not as good as those made by modern machines.
But this powder is too fine.
The smell is also fresh. There happens to be the warm fragrance of roses in the palace, but this powder has a grass-like fragrance, which is light and fresh. After rubbing it carefully, it still has some luster. Looking at the sun, it even feels like waves.
"This is sent from the west. It is extremely rare. It is from the Moon Wolf Kingdom. It is said to make women look good." Qi Yixiu smiled: "There are only a few in total. Why don't you thank me?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu liked it quite a lot, mainly because it felt so good.
"If you like it, I'll just send someone to buy it." Mainly, this is a new tribute, which didn't exist before, so there aren't many.
The emperor also gave some to the queen, her daughter, and the eldest princess, and the rest was only six bottles.
Four were given to Concubine Jing, one was given to Yan Xiurong, and one was given to Su Xiuyi.
Shen Chuliu didn't care who he gave it to, he smiled and asked someone to put it away.
Anyway, no matter what the reward was, the emperor would not see such a strong shock from her. The emperor was used to it.
"There is something. Let's learn from the emperor. I made Yan'er smile today." Shen Chuliu waved his hand and asked someone to take the things away and said: "He has to be afraid that I, my concubine, will not have enough charcoal fire here. Enough has been said. , I wanted to run and look behind me.”
Qi Yixiu was also a little speechless, but he understood. Back then, he always had doubts about what Empress Dowager Li said.
Especially when I just moved out.
But he knew that there would indeed be something missing in the concubine's palace at that time.
How could Ke Yaner have such an idea? There can be no shortage here at Concubine Jing.
Moreover, if Concubine Jing dares to treat her harshly, she is not allowed to knock on her door.
It can be seen that the sixth prince is overly worried, but no matter how much he worries, it is for his mother, which is good.
"Yan'er feels sorry for you. Is Yan'er scared because of your illness this time?" Qi Yixiu said.
"Yes." Shen Chuliu sighed: "I always feel that he is still a child. In the blink of an eye, the child knows how to care about adults."
The children in the palace are really pitiful and have no childhood.
"Well, if you don't talk about this, why do I see the emperor losing weight?" Shen Chuliu looked at the emperor.
She herself had lost weight and she knew why, and the emperor had also lost weight recently.
"I have to work hard on state affairs." Qi Yixiu said and lay down on the soft couch outside.
Anyway, it was already mid-afternoon and there was nothing going on, so the two of them simply talked sideways.
Until dinner time.
Although Qi Yixiu came often during these times, he didn't do much because Shen Chuliu wasn't feeling well.
Today is different.
Not long after dinner, Shen Chuliu was led into the inner room by the emperor.
It was a fierce battle that lasted several rounds.
After finishing, the emperor smelled Shen Chuliu's neck: "The fragrance of roses really suits you."
"Hmm." Shen Chuliu responded weakly.
"It's flamboyant, enthusiastic and beautiful." Qi Yixiu pinched her waist.
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu was still weak.
It was nothing at first, but when the emperor saw her laziness, he felt... No, she has to come again.
So as soon as Shen Chuliu came to his senses, he was suppressed again.
My eyes widened and I really wanted to scold the Dog Emperor, you are not young anymore, how can you be so capable!
Early the next morning, Shen Chuliu sat on the couch and scolded his mother. His waist was sore and his legs were weak. It really didn't feel so good.
