I was also very tired and went to bed early.
In Taiji Palace, after hearing what happened today, Qi Yixiu sighed: "Tell people to watch Ruiqing Palace carefully and don't cause trouble."
In this first month, the Sixth Prince doesn't need to see anyone, and he will definitely not be able to get up.
"Yes." Chu Si knew in his heart that he meant not to let anyone harm His Highness Sixth Prince at this time.
Thinking about it, Commander Yu Chan was even more worried. If the Sixth Prince did something bad, his career as an official would be over.
The next day, when Shen Chuliu went there, the sixth prince was in much better spirits. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight in just one night.
After all, he is injured, which is normal.
However, I still had a lot of food for three meals, and it seemed that I was getting better quickly.
It's just that the injury is embarrassing, and it's very difficult for him to get up.
He made the decision himself and rewarded the friends who accompanied him in the beatings, but Shen Chuliu didn't have any objections.
Only when he was in good spirits did he have the strength to tell Shen Chuliu about what he had seen during his trip.
Shen Chuliu never said whether he had done something wrong from beginning to end, there was no need to say.
My mother had been talking all morning, but Shen Chuliu didn't go back at noon, so he just had dinner here.
The queen also rewarded her with several dishes.
From the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Chuliu couldn't care anymore. For three days in a row, Fengzao Palace entertained guests.
There were people who wanted to inquire, but they didn't dare when they saw Concubine Jing's face.
The main reason is that Shen Chuliu is not at all depressed as his son was punished.
On the sixth, seventh and eighth day of the lunar month, she was always dressed up.
Wear a brightly colored dress and jewelry that others would envy.
High eyebrows and bright red lips.
There is no hint that she is the mother of a thirteen-year-old prince.
Not to mention the female relatives outside, even those in the harem who didn't deal with her didn't dare to actually bump into her and make fun of her.
This person has never learned to be polite at banquets since more than ten years ago.
They dare not.
Queen Mother Li also admired her very much. No matter what happened, Concubine Jing was really stable in public.
She is indeed the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.
A year passed smoothly after all.
All the temptations and attempts were beaten back by this slap.
No matter what thoughts are behind it, at least on the surface, nothing can be done.
What surprised everyone even more was that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, lanterns were routinely awarded.
Qi Yixiu said with a smile: "There are few lanterns this year, so all the concubines will get a share."
The emperor's words are thought-provoking, who wants less
The queen smiled and said: "Every year, the emperor's lanterns are something that the concubines and others look forward to. With the lanterns, the year will be smooth. It doesn't matter how much it is."
"Really? The queen said so, and I will reward you well in the future." Qi Yixiu smiled and read on: "It's better not to give it to me this year if I take the title of concubine. Tell the people below to share it, and I will give you something else."
Concubine Qianshu said with a smile: "Of course I have no objection, let's all share it with the sisters. Concubine Jing, what do you say? We are getting older, and we are not greedy for the group anymore."
"I have no objection to giving it to my sisters, but I am too old to admit it." Shen Chuliu smiled: "What does the emperor want to give to my concubine? If it is not as good as the lanterns, then I still have to grab it. "
Qi Yixiu smiled: "How dare I do you any harm? This year, I will give you a white jade ornament for Concubine Qian Shu. All four of you have it."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I still want the lanterns. If the Emperor doesn't give them to me, then I will beg the Queen."
"My beloved concubine is really hard to fool, how could you know that I would only give you that one?" Qi Yixiu said with a smile: "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the decree is passed."
On the fourth day of the lunar month, he responded and went out to get the imperial edict from the little eunuch at the back.
Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else stood up to receive the order.
The imperial edict is very simple, those who are promoted to the throne. There is no need to elaborate on the laudatory words. To put it simply, Concubine Jing was promoted to Concubine Jingxian, and Concubine Li was promoted to Concubine Li De.
Everyone was shocked.
No one expected it, not even the Queen.
Concubine Jingfei was busy thanking her, and Shen Chuliu himself was a little surprised.
The most unacceptable thing is Concubine Qian Shu.
She has always been the first person under the queen, but she didn't expect that Concubine Jing would actually run ahead.
"How is it? Is my reward comparable to the lanterns?" Qi Yixiu asked Shen Chuliu with a smile.
"Your Majesty, can this be the same? I am so moved now that I am speechless, but what should I do if I am still greedy for lanterns?" Shen Chu and Liu Hong looked at the emperor.
Qi Yixiu couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, you have the lantern too."
Shen Chuliu then lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The concubines below all want to strangle her to death. You are already a virtuous concubine, so why bother with a lantern? You are so shameless!
But who dares to say
They all have the same smile, but the back molars are probably chipped.
Empress Dowager Li did not expect the emperor's appearance, but she quickly adjusted her mentality: "Concubine Jingxian and Concubine Li De have been in the palace for many years, and their character is obvious to all. Now is the best."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Concubine Jing Xian and Concubine Li De said hurriedly.
Concubine Li De was also surprised.
Of course she wants to be promoted to the throne. What is a virtuous concubine? Who doesn't want to be a noble concubine
But she also knew, how could it be so easy
I didn't expect it, just go up like this.
Naturally, she couldn't think too much about the meaning at this time, but promotion was always a happy event.
She is the only concubine with two princes so far.
Of course it’s good.
Shen Chuliu still got two lanterns, so of course he wanted them, why not
If the annual lanterns were a sign of who was favored.
So what if I get promoted
Shen Chuliu knew very well that the emperor was still very interested in her at this time, so this seemingly useless thing was indispensable.
She no longer didn't care about her when she was young, now she needs the emperor's attention even more.
This year came to an end with the promotion of two people.
And Concubine Jing Xian's promotion to the throne also made the people behind her who were ready to move even more unable to do anything.
The sixth prince did something wrong. The sixth prince was punished. The sixth prince's mother-in-law was promoted to the throne.
what does that mean
No matter how reckless the minister is, he will not dare to pry into what is the cause and effect here.
Now, among the princes in the harem, four are descended from first-grade concubines.
Although she is still a concubine, it is different after all.
And with the promotion of Concubine Jing Xian and Concubine Li De, there is a vacancy in the position of second-grade concubine.
That's how it is in the harem, there will always be fighting.
In Ci'an Palace.
Queen Mother Li just got up.
It's already the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the year is completely over.
"How is the sixth child?" As a grandmother, she naturally had to send someone to check on him.
"Go back to your Majesty, Your Highness is fine, but I'm afraid this injury will last until February and a half." Aunt Hua said.
"Yes. Ask someone to watch at any time, and you will be rewarded if you deserve it." Empress Dowager Li said.
"Don't worry, Master." Nanny Hua said with a smile: "The Emperor is very happy to see what His Highness the Sixth Prince is doing."
"He has a mother like that, how could the emperor not see him?" Empress Dowager Li has become more indifferent to the affairs of the harem since the last time.
