Chapter 624: Family dinner

Shen Chuliu smiled: "What do you mean by that? You were so clever in your calculations that you cost Qingqing your life?" Shen Chuliu was no longer sure where this sentence came from.

It probably came from her so-called vague past life.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

She thought that Mei Xiuyi was a mistake that had to be covered up by countless mistakes. The more she covered it up, the more she would be wrong.

The back and forth only gets worse.

"Humans, you have to be strong if you do bad things. Otherwise this will happen."

Mei Xiuyi is afraid that she will not only harm Yi Jieyu.

At least Sun Gengyi's death was unclear.

The Queen Mother called the Queen to Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother is not feeling well at these times, so she does not need anyone to attend to her, but the Queen still comes to see her every day.

In fact, the queen will come today even if she is not called.

"Mother, are you feeling better today? My concubine is about to come," the queen said.

"The Ai family is not in the way." The Queen Mother waved her hand and told her to sit down: "What's going on with Mei Xiuyi? She's been the cause of all the trouble in the past two months."

Empress Dowager Li frowned. She was not a fool and could not see that Mei Xiuyi was unclean.

"It's my concubine's fault for not taking care of the harem," the queen said.

"It's not your fault. What happened to her? You can't know." Queen Mother Li said.

"Every one of these things has something to do with her, but there is no evidence. Now that she is injured, I have no choice but to ask her to move out first."

"As per the Ai family's decree, let's ask the Seventh Princess and the Thirteenth Prince to move to Ruiqing Palace first. Since Mei Xiuyi is ill, she should take good care of herself. I guess she won't be able to care about the child if she is shocked." Empress Dowager Li road.

"Yes, it's just that the thirteenth prince is still young and in poor health..." The queen also wanted to make it clear.

To put it bluntly, what if the child is gone after moving to Ruiqing Palace

"This child is very weak." Queen Mother Li thought for a while and said, "Let's bring him to the Ai family to raise him for a few months. The Ai family can't harm him."

The queen agreed.

The Queen Mother issued an order, and Mei Xiuyi naturally could not resist. She was enveloped in huge panic, but she could only agree.

She didn't dare to resist the decree.

Soon, the seventh princess was sent to Ruiqing Palace, and the thirteenth prince was also taken to Ci'an Palace.

In Ci'an Palace, there is naturally a place for the Thirteenth Prince to live, and the Queen Mother raises him in front of him. This is even a compliment to the Thirteenth Prince.

Mei Xiuyi also moved out of Changle Palace. As if overnight, she completely fell out of favor.

She is still a Xiuyi, but she can't even raise a child.

The people in the harem, who were suppressed by her before, now laugh at her.

Yi Jieyu laughed so much that she cried in Yihe Palace.

And Mei Xiuyi's wounds are not easy to heal over and over again. It's hot...

At the end of June, when the emperor returned to Beijing with his princes, Mei Xiuyi's wound was almost healed.

The current wound area is as big as half the forehead.

It will be smaller in the future, but it will be difficult to cover up.

She wore her hair in a bun that covered half of her forehead, but it was too much to cover up.

When everyone greeted the emperor, she did not dare to raise her head.

Naturally, the emperor already knew what was going on in the palace during these times.

He didn't mention anything, he just took the princes, the queen and the concubines who were beautiful or above to visit the queen mother.

The Queen Mother saw the emperor and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Emperor."

The emperor lifted up his robe and knelt down: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"What are you doing? Get up, you guys get up too." The Queen Mother supported the emperor and waved her hand to tell the princes to get up.

"It must have been a hard journey, these guys are all tanned." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Several princes hurriedly said it was okay and flattered the Queen Mother.

After sitting down for a while, the Queen Mother said: "It's good to go for a walk. Although I'm tanned, I look strong."

"Yeah, these guys are not honest." The emperor laughed. "Boy, you are too honest to be useful." Queen Mother Li looked at them one by one, and she was also very happy.

They are all of their own blood.

"Is the queen's health completely healed?" Qi Yixiu asked.

"Well, the Queen comes here every day, and they often visit. The Ai family is getting better quickly." Queen Mother Li said.

They refer to the concubines.

"It's all as it should be." The emperor smiled: "But it's still the queen's hard work."

"It's not hard work. Honor your mother and I will do it willingly." The queen said with a smile.

"Don't say these polite words, let's have a banquet. Maybe we haven't had a family banquet together for a long time, and the emperor has worked hard. Eat and drink."

Empress Dowager Li said and waved her hand to ask someone to make arrangements.

Soon, a banquet was served at the Queen Mother's place.

It was evening, about midnight after eating, so the time was right.

At the family dinner, Qi Yixiu was in a good mood.

Of course, after everyone sat down, Qi Yixiu quickly spoke to Shen Chuliu.

"The worthy concubine looks splendid today."

"The emperor said this. When the emperor comes back, I will naturally dress up properly." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

"The beloved concubine is very well dressed, I saw it at a glance." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.

"Concubine Jingxian is suitable for these colors, but today she needs less yellow flowers." The queen thought for a while: "It would be better if there were more flowers or something painted between the eyebrows."

Shen Chuliu wore a double-knife bun today. A set of red gold jewelry and an orange-red jacket and skirt.

The eyebrows are raised, the lips are red and the teeth are white.

"It's my concubine who's anxious. You have to dress up well next time. You can't let your sisters compete with you." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

Zhen Chongyi suddenly said: "Concubine Jingxian is naturally beautiful, but the young concubines are also afraid of you. What will they do if you dress up again?"

There was a hint of ridicule in these words.

However, as far as she was concerned, nothing was right.

Zhen Chongyi has been in this position for more than ten years.

She had never had a personal relationship with Shen Chuliu. Shen Chuliu naturally ignored her when she was joking like this.

He just smiled perfunctorily.

There was an awkward silence in the hall.

But after all, the Queen Mother was there, and someone was there to smooth things over.

Concubine Ning said: "I don't envy anything else. The pendant on Sister Concubine Jing Xian's necklace is newly made, isn't it? How skilled is the master? I'll ask someone to do it later."

"It's a person who just entered the Seiko Workshop from outside. Look for him later." Shen Chuliu said in a dignified manner.

Soon, it became warm again.

The princes also started talking and laughing.

The only outsider present was Rong Ning, but she was sitting with the second and third princesses.

Li Shi spoke to the third prince and concubine without any embarrassment, and also spoke to Rong Ning.

The eldest princess was not in good spirits. When the emperor saw it, he asked, "Are you feeling well?"

"Returning to my father, I just haven't slept well these days. It's okay." The eldest princess said hurriedly.

Qi Yixiu went to see the emperor's consort, and his face was not good.

The eldest prince-in-law hurriedly stood up and said, "I failed to take good care of the eldest princess."

"How long has this been going on?" asked the Queen.

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment: "It's been a month since I returned to my mother."
