Qi Yixiu raised her chin: "Okay, I will wait for you to entertain me. If the hospitality is not good..."
"If you don't like one meal, just two." Shen Chuliu grabbed the words and poked Qi Yixiu's hand shyly: "Don't scare me."
Qi Yixiu let go and picked up the tea again.
The two of them drank tea quietly for a while, and then Shen Chuliu called someone to clean up and started preparing to grind ink.
Qi Yixiu looked at the pile of papers and sighed without any trace.
Shen Chuliu stayed in the imperial study room all afternoon. Before leaving, he received a small hand stove as a reward from Qi Yixiu and went back.
It was a small cloisonné hand stove with exquisite carving patterns.
Shen Chuliu really likes it. She likes all things with good workmanship.
Mainly because of this small hand stove, the emperor also rewarded him with a small frame of gold wire charcoal.
The gold wire carbon is also a big piece, but anything like this must be bumped during transportation.
So there will be a lot of small pieces, which are just suitable for filling in the hand stove.
It’s already mid-February, and it’s enough for this year. It’s impossible to run out.
After taking it back, Zi Zhu kept it carefully.
"It doesn't have to be like that, just leave it, clean it up, and continue using it tomorrow."
That night, the emperor naturally went to Changle Palace.
Early the next morning, Yao Baolin came over.
"Have you heard that Zhang can't change his clothes?" Yao Baolin knelt down and said behind him: "It won't work until it's still dark, so I called the imperial doctor. Now I'm afraid I'm just waiting to die."
"Hey." Shen Chuliu nodded: "That's all, I can't go. Sister, go."
Yao Baolin was stunned: "You..."
She wants to say that you should go and have a look, right
"Sister, just go. I know she was wronged in that matter, but I can't go. Don't worry, sister, even if I don't go, it's the same as asking the Lantern Festival to offer incense sticks." Shen Chuliu said.
Yao Baolin nodded and went out.
"Master, if you don't go, will there be any explanation at that time?" Zi Rui asked.
"How can a person be so rational in his lifetime?" Shen Chuliu sat down and said, "You poison me and I still have to go see her? Why am I so temperless?"
Although everyone knew that Zhang Gengyi was wronged in this matter, but so what
Since she has such a reputation, Shen Chuliu will not make a generous gesture.
Being a kind and good person is certainly a good thing, but repaying evil with kindness in everything is the character of a saint.
She didn't.
Let the people in the palace know that she, Shen Chuliu, has such a vengeful character.
It would be better if the emperor understood early on that she was not the kind of person who would stick out the right cheek when someone slaps her on the other cheek.
Nor will I pretend to be a virtuous person who can tolerate everything.
Isn’t that what happens in the world? When you show that you can forgive everything, you often get more hurt.
And over time, others will only think that you can endure anything.
But you showed your unwillingness to give in to one thing. Even if people said you were ruthless and had a bad temper at the time, there would be another time after all. Others should also consider what you say here.
This is why some people are indifferent and have few friends, but they live a comfortable life.
Because no one dares to mess with her about trivial matters.
In the harem, women gradually test each other.
For example, Concubine Jin, fortunately she has no favor, otherwise her weak temper would have been eaten by others.
Shen Chuliu would not let others bully her, she would rather have people call her cruel.
She is just a concubine, what does she want with such a good reputation
If you can really reach a high position in the future, whether you are ruthless or not, isn't that all in the past
A small change of clothes was clearly found guilty. If she doesn't succeed, naturally not many people will come.
At least none of the concubines or concubines came.
That is to say, Ning Jieyu took the lead, and the following people came.
Everyone was sitting outside. Ning Jieyu took a sip of tea and put it down in disgust: "Where is Miss Jing?"
"Sister Jieyu, Jing Meiren is not feeling well, so she won't come." Yao Baolin said.
"Humph, feeling unwell? What a coincidence." Ning Jieyu sneered.
Yao Baolin apologized and didn't dare to say anything, so he sat down again.
"Tsk, it's not unusual for Jing Mei to have a bad temper." Li Mei smiled and said, "Hey, it's pitiful to see her."
I didn't know whether he was talking about Zhang Gengyi or Shen Chuliu.
But after all, they were waiting for someone to die, so it was hard for them to say anything.
In the inner room, Zhang Gengyi grabbed his girl's hand: "I'm not... not..."
The girl just said yes, but she had no feelings after all.
The girl Zhang Gengyi originally brought to his family had been sent away long ago, but now she has never done her best. Otherwise, Zhang Changyi wouldn't have failed so quickly.
Zhang Gengyi also kept mumbling before his death. After all, he had been wronged once. How could he die with such peace of mind
But in the end he couldn't resist Shu Mo and died.
The emperor's decree only said that the royal maid should be buried according to her rank. She is based on the title of a royal maiden, but she is not actually called a royal maiden.
Zhang Gengyi's miserable posthumous affairs were sorted out in just half a day.
Naturally, when a concubine passed away, she couldn't just stay in the palace. Let alone changing clothes, even when Cao was gone, she was pulled out in a hurry.
So Zhang Gengyi was sent away quickly.
With her status and charges attached to her, it was natural that even Feiling could not enter.
The queen is in confinement, so no one needs to pay her respects.
Shen Chuliu didn't get up early these days.
So when Qi Yixiu was so busy that he suddenly came to Cuiyunxuan, someone had just stood up and combed his hair and hadn't eaten yet.
She was also confused, mainly because she was used to the fact that the emperor would not come here.
Neither she nor the slaves ignored this.
She is now a beauty, and the emperor can come if he wishes.
So she could only say hello in confusion.
The emperor looked at her with a smile but not a smile: "If I don't come, I don't know that my beloved concubine loves to be lazy."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Recently, the Empress has been in confinement and has not asked her for greetings in the morning. I have indulged a bit and treated it as a secret holiday. I won't dare to do it anymore." Shen Chuliu said pitifully, "I am also a temporary concubine. I haven’t turned a corner. She was only promoted during the Chinese New Year, and I always forget that she is a beauty.”
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Are you complaining about me, my beloved concubine?"
"No, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me like this. Zi Zhu, hurry up and bring me some tea." Shen Chuliu smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, you just need to sit down and let me change my clothes. I'll be fine soon."
Qi Yixiu still smiled half-heartedly and said nothing.
Shen Chuliu didn't look like he was angry, so he went in to change clothes.
She changed into a duck-egg green skirt and put some plain silver opal jewelry on her head.
"Your Majesty, since you are here today, I will order the imperial kitchen to entertain you."
Qi Yixiu looked at her rare simple dress today and said nothing.
