The weather was probably fine today, so it wasn't surprising that I met the beautiful lady again after a while.
The beautiful woman came forward to say hello, and Shen Chuliu found that her spirit was better than before.
She was already good-looking, but now that she is energetic, she looks a bit like she did when she was young.
She didn't dare to stay longer and left quickly.
Shen Chuliu and the others were also tired from walking. When they were about to go back, they heard the sound of clearing the way in front of them.
Such a big movement can only come from the emperor.
It was indeed the emperor.
Lin Jieyu was also following beside him.
The beauty Shen Chu and Liu Yao paid greetings to the emperor, and the emperor came over with a smile: "Have you, my beloved concubines, been shopping around for a while?"
"I was just thinking about going back." Shen Chuliu glanced at Lin Jieyu.
Lin Jieyu's clothes were not flashy today, but she was well-groomed. She looked really virtuous.
"It's still early, why are you in a hurry to go back? Come on, come drink tea with me." Qi Yixiu took Shen Chuliu's hand without any explanation.
Lin Jieyu looked down and saw it, but just pretended not to see it.
The emperor had never treated her like this before.
"Oh, Your Majesty, Lin Jieyu is really unhappy." Shen Chuliu said as he was pulled to sit in the Fubi Pavilion.
"No, no, what are you talking about, my concubine? I'm naturally happy to be able to drink tea with Concubine Jing and Meiren Yao." Lin Jieyu said hurriedly.
Yao Mei has a low status, so she naturally arranges for tea.
It wasn't long before it was on the table.
Shen Chuliu looked at the scenery outside and said, "I'm really tired from walking."
"I know you usually don't like to move much. Now you are drinking tea and watching the scenery. Are you comfortable?" Qi Yixiu said amused.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said politely, "It would be better if I could have some fruit to eat."
"Greedy." That's what Qi Yixiu said, and he waved his hand and asked Chusi to go: "Go and see what fruits are available."
I agreed on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. This place is closest to the dining room at the back, so I won’t go to the imperial dining room.
I got some from the dining room here.
When I was eating strawberries, there was a strawberry field behind the Imperial Palace. Now is a good time.
Today's strawberries are small, but sweet and delicious.
Shen Chuliu liked it.
In her Jade Palace, every year at this time, you have to enter every day.
The emperor naturally knew this, and even more so on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Lin Jieyu watched as the strawberries were brought. The emperor naturally pushed the plate towards Concubine Jing: "Eat it."
Concubine Jing thanked the emperor and started eating as expected.
Shen Chuliu was not a shy person. Since he was sitting with the emperor and the others, he would not be left in the cold.
There was also some talking and laughing.
When it was lunch time, Shen Chuliu and Yao Meiren left.
The emperor had nothing to say, and Lin Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that she would ask Concubine Jing to cut her off again today. Although Concubine Jing did not do it on purpose every time, she could not afford to embarrass this person.
Back at Jade Palace, after Shen Chuliu changed clothes, Chi Su smiled: "Just now, Lin Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief."
Shen Chuliu also smiled: "I saw it. This woman pretends to be virtuous. If the emperor really wants to keep me, she can't say anything."
"My master is right." Chi Su thought to himself that his master was just too lazy to stay. How difficult would it be to cut off the beard
When the sixth prince came back, the couple murmured to each other, and the sixth prince said, "Second brother brought all the companions."
"That's right. It will be the same if you go out on errands in the future." Shen Chuliu patted him on the shoulder: "Your Highness, in a few years, you can go out on errands."
"Hahaha! Then I'm in a hurry!" The sixth prince also came to pat his mother: "My queen, just enjoy your happiness."
The two of them laughed together.
A few days later, Qin Tianjian set the date for the eldest princess's wedding. It is the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month.
When the wedding comes at the end of the year, the eldest princess will be eighteen years old. Although it is not too late, it is not too early either.
almost.
This date was calculated by the Qin Tian Jian and the Ministry of Rites based on the birthdays of the princess, the consort, and the emperor.
If you think this is too early and the next day will be when the eldest princess turns twenty-one, then it is relatively late.
So it can only be this day.
After the date was officially set, the Wu family's hearts fell back into their stomachs.
As for the second prince, we can only talk about marriage after he returns to Beijing.
Maybe if he has made a meritorious service, he may leave the palace and build a mansion. As for whether he will be crowned king, it is still too early to say.
On the other side, on the ninth day of February, the second prince and his party finally arrived at Liangcheng in the southwest.
The Marquis of Jinchang gave up his residence directly to the second prince.
However, the second prince refused and ended up living in the villa of the governor of Liangcheng.
On that day, Marquis Jinchang came with many officials to pay his respects to the second prince.
Although the second prince knew in his heart that he did not have an official position and could not bear such a great gift, after all, he was a prince, so he accepted it half-heartedly.
Li Pei, Marquis of Jinchang, and his eldest son and second son held a banquet to entertain the envoys from the imperial city.
The second prince naturally takes the first place.
Below, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel are listed in sequence.
Jinchanghou's banquet was very sumptuous. Although there were no singers or dancers to entertain, the atmosphere was very lively.
That night, the second prince drank too much.
Many of the officials drank too much and naturally did not do anything serious.
That night, a dozen homing pigeons flew away from all directions in the courtyard.
Although some failed to fly away smoothly, eight days later, several superstitions were still sent to the imperial city.
At this time, it was already the end of February.
Qi Yixiu had already changed into unlined clothes and was sitting in the imperial study room. In his hand was the small scroll given to him on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It was the superstitious scroll tied to the leg of the homing pigeon.
Qi Yixiu opened it and unfolded it. It was a large piece of paper. He smiled just looking at him.
"The second prince is full of momentum?"
"The second prince is drunk?"
"Haha, this Li Pei is quite a good man. Didn't he say that the grain store in the mansion is running out, and the old and young in the mansion can't see meat after more than a month?" This is what the Marquis of Jinchang said before when he asked for grain and grass.
The description is very miserable.
"Why is there such a big feast now?"
On the fourth day of the lunar month, I thought that the emperor was angry!
"Reply to the letter, just keep watching and don't interfere with the second prince's actions. Just find out in private." Qi Yixiu put aside the superstition.
The contents of the five letters received were the same. I'm just afraid that the pigeons might get damaged on the way and they won't be able to be delivered.
Of course, this superstition requires translation, and most people won’t be able to understand it if they intercept it.
In the following days, superstitions came one after another. Qi Yixiu looked away and just ordered to continue staring.
The second prince from the southwest seemed to be taking to the water like a fish in water.
It's always comfortable to be held by someone, and here, he doesn't need to be careful. Naturally, I feel that I am important.
Shen Chuliu's birthday this year is the same, held on the second day of March.
She was too lazy to do it, but the emperor didn't allow it and insisted on telling her to handle it properly.
So on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a banquet was held in Yufu Palace.
Happy Valentine’s Day! If someone asks you out, remember to break up. The person asking you out at this time will probably want to murder you.
