In the middle of February, the queen's health gradually improved.
She lost a lot of weight, but she managed to survive.
The third prince's wedding is on February 26th. The queen still cheered up to deal with these matters.
And the little princess of Chao Kingdom also entered the imperial city on February 21st.
The title of this little princess is Princess Rongning, her maiden name is Shangguan Ji, and her appearance is naturally very good. She came from a concubine of the emperor of the Chao Dynasty, but that concubine was obviously not favored and could not protect her daughter.
On that day, a banquet was held in the palace to entertain the princess of the DPRK who came from afar and the ministers of the DPRK who sent her.
After all, it is considered a state banquet. Although the princess is young, she is from another country.
Naturally, the size cannot be small, and a banquet will be held in Longzong Hall.
The little princess put on gorgeous palace clothes and walked towards the hall.
She raised her head, with a golden crown on her head. Although it was heavy, she still held her head high.
The slender neck feels fragile yet stubborn.
She was very polite and slowly walked forward and knelt on the ground: "Rong Ning has come a long way. Thank you to His Majesty Emperor Dayi for your hospitality. Rong Ning is very grateful."
"Kowtow to the Emperor, the Queen, and the Queen Mother." She is a junior, and it is not shameful to salute these three people.
"Get up." Qi Yixiu smiled: "Princess has come from afar, don't be polite, just treat this place as your home."
Princess Rongning thanked her and stood up.
The queen smiled and said: "I have been away from home for a long time and have never seen you. Come and sit here."
Rong Ning thanked her again and sat beside the queen, level with the second princess.
The envoys from the DPRK came forward and were polite again.
Shen Chuliu turned sideways and spoke to Concubine Li: "This princess is different from what I thought."
Li Fei whispered: "Yes, look at him, he is quite stubborn."
Shen Chuliu smiled, wondering if this stubbornness was a good thing. It's a pity that such a young child was sent out.
Her mother didn't know how to grieve.
In this regard, Qi Yixiu is indeed much better than the emperor of Chao.
The second princess still takes good care of this princess. After all, according to blood, this is her cousin.
So soon, she called Sister Ji.
Shen Chuliu laughed when he heard that her name was also Ji, and Pei Ji was also Ji. However, these two people are thousands of miles apart, it's just a coincidence.
In the evening, the emperor did not go to the queen. Today is not a holiday.
And the new princess is temporarily staying in the Queen's Palace.
So Qi Yixiu went to Yufu Palace.
Shen Chuliu drank a few more glasses today. He had just washed up and was sitting and drinking tea in a daze.
When Qi Yixiu came, her greetings were a bit crooked.
Qi Yixiu couldn't help but laugh: "Did you drink too much, my beloved? Why did you drink so much?"
How much more can she drink at the party
"Huh?" Shen Chu and Liu Mi stared blankly: "It tastes good, so I drank a few more glasses. The emperor can't bear to part with it?"
"Am I so stingy?" Qi Yixiu laughed and helped her sit down: "Go get her some food."
Qi Yixiu helped Shen Chuliu and the two of them sit on the soft couch.
"I see that the little princess is quite pretty, and she's still stubborn." Shen Chuliu smiled.
"Like my concubine?" Qi Yixiu thought for a while: "If my concubine likes her, it's not that I can't consider giving it to Yan'er. It's just that... I can't be my legitimate wife."
"Ah? Why?" Shen Chuliu was confused and slow to react.
"I will take a good look at Yan'er's legitimate wife." He felt that the young princess of the Chao Kingdom was wronging his son by becoming Yan'er's first wife.
She's just a princess, of no use.
"I said why to Yan'er? Besides, I like it but Yan'er doesn't like it?" Shen Chuliu sat upright now.
"Let me just say this, why are you anxious? Are you impatient after drinking too much?" Qi Yixiu patted her head: "The child is still young, let's wait for a few years. The princes are getting married in the sixteenth or seventeenth year, and Yan'er is also still "Little one." "Oh." Shen Chuliu nodded: "The emperor said, let's have some glutinous rice balls?"
Qi Yixiu…
This illogical Shen Chuliu is really rare. cute.
However, Shen Chuliu's confusion did not last long, and he soon became energetic after eating something.
"Dizziness?" The emperor asked when he saw her rubbing her head.
"No, it's a bit overwhelming. I won't dare to drink so much in the future." In fact, she hadn't drank for a long time, so she couldn't control it for a while.
While the two were talking, Yuanxiao called out "Master" outside.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, it's Zhang Baolin who came here. He said that Zhang Baolin was not feeling well and wanted to ask the emperor to come and have a look." Yuan Xiao said and felt happy.
However, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was standing there, holding it in.
But Shen Chuliu didn't have to hold it back in the room: "Pfft... when did the emperor enter Xinglin? I didn't know?"
"That's nonsense. Ask her to serve as an imperial physician. If she doesn't know the rules, go and live in Beigong Garden." The emperor said calmly.
As he grew older, his patience with the concubines in his harem naturally became less and less.
After all, he has been the emperor for so many years. No matter how much he likes to act, he will get annoyed sometimes.
Especially these little concubines who don’t know their importance.
Shen Chuliu found it novel. This kind of thing had not happened for many years.
The next day Zhang Baolin was often noticed and saluted.
She herself was fine, and Shen Chuliu naturally didn't bother to cause trouble for her.
After the queen came out, she talked about the arrangements for Princess Rongning. There was naturally a place to live in Ruiqing Palace, so she made arrangements to move in. But there was no rush. She had to make good arrangements there first and then move in.
After leaving, Concubine Shun suddenly asked: "You think... should we treat Princess Rongning to a meal?"
As soon as this statement came out, some people thought it was reasonable, while others thought it was sick.
It was Shen Chuliu who felt sick.
"Sister Shun Fei is different now." Shen Chuliu smiled: "I'm a lazy person if I ask you to. I still have a son, so I don't dare to mess around. If anyone thinks I have other thoughts, I won't willing."
With that she left.
Li Fei smiled and followed.
Concubine Qianshu is very thoughtful.
Although she also felt that it was impossible for Rong Ning to be the second prince's concubine, but what if it happened
Concubine Ning was the calmest. Her son was still young, so even if it was a treat, it would be fine.
Concubine Shun didn't dare to say anything after what Shen Chuliu said. Concubine Qianshu thought to herself that she didn't want to make such a move.
We had no choice but to leave like this.
When the princes went to Fengzao Palace to pay their respects, the sixth prince came up with an idea: "Let's go see Princess Rongning?"
He is not yet familiar with the affairs of men and women, he is just curious. If a strange and beautiful little girl comes here, boys will be curious too.
What's more, boys in ancient times matured early.
The fourth and fifth princes also had this idea, but they were too embarrassed to say it.
The Eighth Prince was more frank: "Yeah!"
The Ninth Prince nodded secretly.
The tenth prince was the youngest and most curious, so he naturally agreed.
So he came out and went to see the little princess without any hurry.
When the second princess saw them, she knocked on the head one by one: "What should I do if I make others look embarrassed?"
Another month of shamelessness is about to pass.
