No problem at all.
There is no problem in crossing the concubines of the father-in-law.
Say you have no experience? It's okay, I'm not ignoring it, I'm just asking you to help.
Ye came to ask Shen Chuliu cautiously.
"Concubine, look at this, I am really inexperienced."
"Isn't this a good opportunity? The Queen believes in you and tells you to learn. If you don't have experience, learn from experience. Don't worry, the Queen will not embarrass you." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye could no longer refuse and could only accept.
After seeing off Mrs. Ye, Zhemei was worried: "Master, your body..."
"It's okay. I can't rest for ten days. I just need to take a good rest after the new year." Shen Chuliu patted her hand gently: "Zhemei, this is the first year of Yan'er's wedding and the death of Queen Mother Li. I can’t just care about myself, you know?”
"I understand, but Master, you are not in good health and I am worried."
"Don't worry, can I still treat myself badly? What do you think of Ms. Ye? I am more and more satisfied with her." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"This slave also thinks the Crown Princess is good." Zhe Mei said with a smile.
"Don't be so sad. After the New Year, I can have a good rest. Doesn't the Emperor want to take Yan'er on a tour? Then I can have a good rest." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes." Zhemei sighed, that was all she could do.
It’s really not good to not attend anything this year.
Due to the death of Empress Dowager Li, the emperor could not easily enter the harem, and even the empress rarely went there.
Occasionally I go there just to have a meal, but it’s almost the Chinese New Year, so that’s normal.
Shen Chuliu has been drinking tonics recently. Ginseng soup has become a staple in my mouth all day long.
But because I was weak, I couldn't drink much.
She knows her own body.
The Chinese New Year is coming now, and everything has to wait until after the New Year.
This year is destined to be simple, but there are all the rules that should be followed.
After the Queen took a brief breather, she had to continue her work.
Because the Queen Mother was gone, all the guests from the Queen Mother's house came to the Queen's place during the Chinese New Year.
Nowadays, let alone Shen Chuliu, even the queen herself is always talking about it. Really tired.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Chuliu fainted.
After waking up, he drove everyone out and had a conversation with Dr. Zhao.
No one dared to say anything. Shen Chuliu said not to mention it. He only said that if he felt slightly unwell, he would see the imperial doctor.
Doctor Zhao only said that the empress was tired.
After finally surviving this new year, Shen Chuliu looked at the palace lantern given to her and smiled.
Her Jade Palace is still full of palace lanterns.
She was in a good mood: "I thought that Yan'er wouldn't do these things to me if she married a wife."
"How could it be? His Royal Highness is the most filial person." Zhe Mei said with a smile.
"Yes, I think I am very happy too." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"The emperor will take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on a tour the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid it won't be until June when he comes back," Zhe Mei said.
"Half a year has passed. Let's have a banquet tomorrow." Shen Chuliu said with a smile: "Although it is the period of filial piety, I should ask the emperor to celebrate my birthday."
Zhemei responded with a smile.
Everyone went to make arrangements.
The next morning, Qi Yixiu was called.
Shen Chuliu wore a red skirt, a double-blade bun, and red gold and agate jewelry.
The long eyebrows in the painting are long and the eyes are narrow and lively.
There is a small black dot drawn at the moment.
Even though she is no longer the little girl she once was, she still doesn't feel out of place when dressed up like this. But, after all, I am getting older.
Looking closer, there are still some fine lines in the corners of the eyes.
However, it's not ugly, but it does make her look more charming.
Qi Yixiu hadn't seen her dressed like this for a long time, and he didn't even ask why she dared to wear red during the filial piety period.
He just held her hand and talked to her.
Nothing wrong, just homely.
When Qi Yan came, he was also very surprised.
However, after all, it was Xiao Qi, and Shen Chuliu didn't wear it for too long before he changed into plain purple. It's just as exquisite and beautiful.
"It's still cold, so I asked someone to prepare a pot and have a warm meal. I'm very busy these days, and look, I've lost weight." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The emperor also smiled, yes, it was the Queen Mother who was gone. Qi Yixiu was sad, but the others didn't dare to make any mistakes, so they naturally endured it carefully.
Can you not lose weight
The lunch was sumptuous, and the three of them were chatting and laughing.
In the afternoon, Qi Yan found a reason to leave.
Qi Yixiu originally didn't want to stay overnight, but for some reason, he felt that he should stay today.
So, he stayed.
In the afternoon, Shen Chuliu leaned against him and chatted with him.
"I always feel that this harem has changed all of a sudden. I still feel it is unreal for Yan'er to marry a wife."
"What's not true? When your child grows up, he will marry a wife. It's you who don't want to have another child. Otherwise, you won't be lonely when Yan'er gets married. Just wait and have your grandson in a few years." Qi Yixiu pinched Shen Chu Liu's hand.
Shen Chuliu chuckled: "Look, Your Majesty, you know what I know, but you still want to tell me. Can't you hide it for the rest of your life?"
She used contraception when she was young, and it lasted for twenty years, so let's forget about it. Qi Yixiu has paid more and more attention to her in the past few years, how could he not know? It's just a tacit understanding and they don't even mention it.
Qi Yixiu snorted.
"At that time, I didn't dare to have more children. In those years, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep Yan'er in the harem, so I wouldn't dare to have another baby. Then I got used to it. I just wanted to raise him well," Shen Chuliu said.
"It's my fault." Qi Yixiu said this a little dryly.
"Your Majesty is very good." Shen Chuliu smiled again.
"You are also very good. You raised Yan'er very well. I want to thank you." Qi Yixiu sighed.
"Why bother talking about this? Yan'er is your and my child. When the emperor chooses him to be the prince, he recognizes me. I am the most perfect. Everything in the world cannot go as planned, but I do."
Qi Yixiu didn't speak, the two of them just leaned against each other and sat quietly.
That night, the emperor stayed over, but he didn't do anything. He just held Shen Chuliu in his arms and talked.
He said that he would take the prince on a tour and would be back in a few months.
If she is tired this year, she will take good care of herself. Next year, she will leave the government affairs to the prince and take her to the palace to live for more than half a year.
"Okay, I don't know how to hunt on horseback, but next year I can watch the emperor hunt on horseback and have some barbecue." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The two of them chatted and laughed and fell asleep.
When she woke up again, Qi Yixiu didn't allow her to get up and see her off.
"Then I won't send you off. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have a good trip." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Before leaving the house, Qi Yixiu turned around again: "Just wait for me and take good care of yourself."
Shen Chuliu laughed again: "Am I just a child? The emperor is getting more and more bored now."
Qi Yixiu couldn't help laughing: "I care about you but you still dislike me. You, you."
After that, he came out and said, "Have a good time serving your master."
Zhemei and others hurriedly knelt to respond and saw the emperor off.
