"Let's prepare lunch. I eat very lightly these days. Today, the third sister is here, so I can take a few bites of it." Shen Chuliu said.
Shen Biqiong responded with a smile.
Not long after, the Sixth Prince also came back. I'd rather call her aunt affectionately.
Shen Chuliu shouted and laughed.
This generational divide is chaotic.
Prince Yi was the brother of the late emperor, and Qi Chuan was logically the emperor's cousin. According to Qi Yixiu's name, the sixth prince's name was Shen Biqiong, who was his grandmother.
Even Shen Chuliu should be called aunt.
But she was too lazy to call her Third Sister, so the Sixth Prince also called her Third Aunt.
After lunch and sending the people away, Shen Chuliu was also tired.
In the evening, she sent for the emperor.
The emperor did not enter the backyard for more than ten days, and he only asked Mei Xue to go to bed once.
When the emperor came, he asked: "Is dinner ready?"
Are you hungry
Shen Chuliu asked people to prepare the meal quickly.
She had to personally wait on the emperor to wash her hands, and the emperor would not allow her to move.
So all we can do is wait.
The emperor came out after washing: "Is something wrong?"
"... The emperor's concubine couldn't answer this question. Of course there is something, but it's not urgent, so I don't want to miss you? You don't allow me to go to Tai Chi Palace, and you haven't come yet. I asked you to come and still asked you like this. It can be seen that Isn’t this concubine old and old now?” Shen Chu and Liu were quick to talk.
Qi Yixiu was stunned for a few seconds.
He actually just asked casually.
If I really don’t want to come, I won’t come.
"Are you feeling suffocated in your own palace, my beloved concubine? Come on, take a sip of tea slowly before you choke yourself." Qi Yixiu teased.
Shen Chuliu chuckled and took a big sip of tea from the emperor's hand.
Hey, with her current condition, I don’t want to give her tea anymore.
Qi Yixiu knew that she was greedy, but he didn't care and told her to drink half the glass.
After a while, the meal was served, and this minor problem was ignored.
After eating, Shen Chuliu talked about it.
Qi Yixiu also expressed shock: "Is this really the first time Qichuan and Mr. Xie have met?"
…
Shen Chuliu: Okay, this is really something that can easily be misunderstood.
"Probably. Xie has been married to the Yu family for a few years, so naturally she can't just meet any prince, right?" Shen Chuliu said.
That's true.
"Since this is the case, I will issue an order next year." Qi Yixiu didn't care.
After getting the accurate information, Qichuan sent someone to Xie's house to spread the word the next day.
The Xie family was stunned.
what's the situation
Mr. Xie looked at his daughter: "You and Prince Yi... really didn't know each other before?"
Ms. Xie: ...I am so unjust!
Today's Prince Ai's Mansion is not the same as in the past. Today's Prince Ai's Mansion is clean and tidy, and King Ai himself only has two concubines.
She is young and promising, and the emperor also values her. This is an excellent marriage.
The Xie family has no reason to disagree, but Mr. Xie is a little uneasy. After all, is he a prince? Does he really have no grudges
What's more, she has a child. Although she lives in the Qi family, she is still her sweetheart.
So, I simply wrote a letter and sent it to Prince Yi's Mansion, saying this deliberately.
Qi Chuan replied in person, probably meaning that when you get married, you will naturally bring the child with you. Don't worry, if you don't want to, the child will still be named Yu.
Of course, you can change it if you want.
This time, Mr. Xie was relieved.
But the next day she thought of another problem. She was one year older than King Yi...
This is a real headache.
So back and forth, the young couple sent letters and really expressed their feelings.
The next winter, Mrs. Xie entered Prince Yi's Mansion, and she passed the ceremony in a grand manner and became the princess. Naturally, her son was also brought in. He had grown up in Prince Yi's Mansion since he was a child. But Yu Chan still said that the Xie family was good and the Xie family was good when he met everyone, because they were not destined to be together.
Of course, this is a later story and will not be mentioned.
Shen Chuliu continued to take care of himself. The queen's birthday was coming this year, which was the time of Laba.
Since the palace celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Queen also celebrates the Spring and Autumn Festival.
After getting ready early in the morning, Shen Chuliu also asked people to prepare gifts.
On the right day, a banquet was held in Fengzao Palace, and there were many people. The Queen Mother also came early to show her dignity.
It seems that the Queen Mother has become much calmer after giving up those unrealistic things.
The second princess will leave the palace after the new year, and now she is very reluctant to leave the queen, and she is busy without rest.
There was no taboo between men and women, and all qualified ministers came to Fengzao Palace. Naturally, there were the second princess's future father-in-law and husband-in-law.
Han Yue said to his father, General Han: "Dad, look, the second princess is cute, isn't she?"
General Han had seen it before, but he didn't dare to take a closer look. Now he took a closer look and nodded lightly: "It's different from your mother."
"They are different, but they are both very good. My son likes them," Han Yue said.
General Han thought in a daze, if only his mother was still alive.
"That's good, let's live a good life from now on."
The second princess also saw Han Yue and winked at him.
Many people saw it and just said that Han Yue was so good-looking that the princess liked him so much.
After Han Yue smiled back, he touched the hairpin on his head.
That is Baiyu Xiangyun's hairpin, given by the second princess.
The second princess covered her mouth and went back in embarrassment.
General Han stared at him: "You worthless guy, why did you just ask the princess to give you something?"
"Hey, she's a princess. I can't give her as many gifts as she wants, right? Why don't I want the princess to give it to me? Father, you can't look at it this way. The princess has a noble birth, and we have to recognize it. Even if she gives me a white jade hairpin, I'll give it to her. As for the wooden hairpin, you can't think too much about it," Han Yue said with a smile.
You have to admit that your wife is better than you.
There's no shame in that either.
What's the point of saving face
Living life is the right way.
"In the future, if I study hard for merit and can do something, then I can make the princess look good. These things don't count." Han Yue said with a smile.
General Han was speechless and snorted.
When the emperor arrived, everyone quickly stood up to pay their respects.
The emperor waved his hand.
Upon arrival, the queen was given a set of gold fans and a screen. The scenery on the screen is peach blossoms, which are double-sided peach blossoms embroidered by the best embroiderers.
The frame is made of excellent huanghuali wood, and the four corners are inlaid with gold, and white jade embellishes the frame.
It is really exquisite and gorgeous, mainly because of the embroidery work and craftsmanship, which is hard to find.
The queen really liked it and immediately ordered someone to place it in the main hall.
Everyone also praised the emperor and the empress for their deep love as a couple.
The banquet began and it was very lively.
Everyone toasted, and Shen Chuliu, as the first concubine, naturally wanted to do so.
But she could only use water instead of wine.
After saying auspicious words, she also presented the prepared gifts. What she presented was a set of twelve porcelain paintings.
It is the scenery of Jiangnan that changes with the four seasons.
Three paintings per season, very realistic.
The queen also liked it very much, smiled and asked someone to take it to the inner room.
Everyone who followed also gave good gifts.
Rare beads, gorgeous jewelry, cherished calligraphy and paintings, and even some exotic gadgets from overseas were all accepted by the queen and she accepted them politely.
