By the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother was still in poor health, so she was unable to survive the whole journey.
Everyone knows how old he is.
The Thirteenth Prince showed up, and it seemed like there wasn't much of a problem.
Everyone also thought that this child might have escaped death. After all, it was not easy for a child who had been seeing the imperial doctor all day long since he was born and couldn't get milk from time to time to grow up well.
The Thirteenth Prince was still young after all, and he wasn't even afraid of the Ninth Prince, but he just didn't want to get close to him.
She timidly followed the Queen Mother and left early.
Shen Chuliu thought that even if the Queen Mother snubbed the Ninth Prince for his own good, she might not be cold-hearted now.
Qi Yixiu asked about the mansion outside, and Qi Yan gave a few answers.
Anyway, the general idea is that it will be ready by the end of the year, and then we will do some furniture and other things, so that the princes can get married next year.
"Well, that's good. The East Palace is almost in repair, and these boys are all grown up." Qi Yixiu said.
The clan was busy with praises.
Of course, the emphasis is on praising the prince.
Qi Yan accepted everything directly.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is not without good things. For example, when He Cairen was toasting, he shyly said that he was pregnant and was already three months old.
It's just that the emperor was happy after hearing it, but it was normal, and he said good things. Then reward.
"Who is Zhaoyi in this palace? No matter how Hecairen is, I won't be able to tell them apart in the future." Qi Yixiu said: "Just give Hecairen a title and call him Jingcairen."
Jingcai was busy thanking her, looking very happy.
However, from Shen Chuliu's ears, he knew that the emperor was not distracted.
When the emperor used to give people titles, it had some meaning. Now this... just say it casually, right
Yes, after all, the emperor has so many children. Besides, having more children means more blessings, which is nothing new.
Moreover, the harem battles are not as fierce as before.
The concubines compete for favor, but nowadays there is no one who is very top-notch, and even this Jing Cairen doesn't actually sleep with her very much.
Mostly it's due to good luck.
The queen also rewarded me with something.
Everyone followed the reward.
But no matter what the higher-ups think, the people below still think this is a great thing.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor still went to Fengzao Palace.
Shen Chuliu went to bed early.
When I said hello early the next morning, I saw a beautiful Jingcai man.
Shen Chuliu was amused in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
The little concubine below didn't hold back, she was trying to squeeze Jing Cairen for a while. That's all. He Zhaoyi also said a lot of words.
But it was just a run, and no one dared to do anything.
When the queen came out, she was still the same as she had been for so many years, just asking questions casually and then leaving if nothing happened.
Shen Chuliu and others dispersed one after another and went outside. Rong Xiuyuan said with a smile, "How are you feeling today? If so, how about going to enjoy the flowers?"
Shen Chuliu agreed and joined Rong Xiuyuan and Yang Meiren.
Yao Chongyuan is ill.
It's not a serious illness, it's just arthritis, so I don't want to come out.
"Hey, sometimes I have to admire He Zhaoyi." Rong Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"I admire you too, I really admire you." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, you said this, how many years have passed since she entered the mansion too early, and she is no longer young. This fighting spirit just won't stop." Rong Xiuyuan shook her head. "It's a good thing. This person can't change at any time." Shen Chuliu said.
In this palace, among the people who came in batches, there was no one who had not been squeezed by He Zhaoyi.
Until she can no longer squeeze.
"The Emperor and the Queen are also used to it. As long as she doesn't do anything, they just let her go."
Yes, it's a skill if you can be a bitch all your life. People above you know that you are like this anyway, so you'll get used to it.
Flower viewing is just flower viewing, it has no other meaning.
In the Imperial Garden, it was the time when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom. There were probably more than a hundred species of chrysanthemums.
Shen Chuliu looked at the most common small purple chrysanthemum and ordered several pots of it.
The eunuchs hurriedly selected the most beautiful ones from several pots.
I thought that my empress is very down-to-earth, and these flowers are not expensive.
But Shen Chuliu didn't care. Sometimes those expensive things seemed tacky to her.
The eunuch smiled and said: "The former Concubine Yan asked for two pots of black jade. The servant looked at it and found that it was good. But although it was good, it was not easy to serve. Just like this purple daisy, where does it fall? It's not unusual to see it everywhere, but if you look closely, it's really beautiful. It's very lively, isn't it?"
Shen Chuliu chuckled: "You slave is really clever with your mouth. I remember you. Although I don't remember your name, I also went to appreciate flowers once, and they were also chrysanthemums. Isn't that what you explained? Look at you. This clothes... Is this a good thing?"
The eunuch was so excited: "Oh my god! The imperial concubine can still remember the slave. The slave is really... Oh, he is the slave. Thanks to you, I can be a small steward."
I don’t know if he was really moved or fake, but anyway, the eunuch’s eyes filled with tears.
Successfully defrauded Shen Chuliu of a small purse.
It made Rong Xiuyuan and Yang Meiren laugh for a long time.
Shen Chuliu left in a good mood.
The eunuch who received the reward was still very happy: "Hey, your Majesty is good."
"That's what you would say, but you said Mo Yu is not as good as purple daisies." The key is that purple daisies are everywhere.
Isn't it just to set off the other chrysanthemums here
The manager smiled and said: "Flowers are just flowers. There is no distinction between high and low. You said black jade is good because it is served. If you leave it in the mountains, not a single one will survive."
The manager put away the money and smiled again: "Actually, these unknown wild flowers can bloom every year. Flowers like Moyu have long lost their aura. They are cultivated through painstaking efforts of people." The flowers have lost their vitality. The imperial concubine is the one who really understands."
The little eunuch smiled and responded, thinking bah, are you praising Concubine Jing? Or are you praising Concubine Jing’s money
However, Shen Chuliu asked for a few pots of purple daisies, which caused many people in the harem to follow suit.
That’s a story for another day.
In the evening, Qi Yixiu came and saw the flowers and thought they were quite good.
Placed on the corridor, looking at it under the moon, it is indeed refreshing.
The two of them set up a table outside to enjoy the full moon.
Yesterday, Shen Chuliu was tired and went to bed early. Today, she is enjoying the full moonlight.
Generally speaking, no one dares to disturb the emperor and his concubine while admiring the moon.
But I couldn't help but some people were confused for a while.
For example, Jing Cairen started to tremble as soon as he got his title.
So, someone was sent to invite the emperor.
Not that my stomach hurts.
Yuanxiao was happy to hear this, but she had to talk about it, so she came over and whispered.
The emperor frowned: "Tell her that if she wants to be demoted, she can commit suicide."
I am happy on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. This is really true. I can’t see anyone with high eyebrows and low eyesight.
