This year, the Thousand Years Banquet and the Longevity Festival were not held on a grand scale, and it was really impossible to hold them in the palace.
A family dinner was held, and everyone sat together and got together. It's still the concubine's gift and well-prepared performance, there's nothing to say.
It is worth mentioning that Concubine Shen Gui gave a jade-carved fat doll in the name of Qiuqiu, Empress Empress gave a pot of flowers she raised, and Qingxi gave her a painting she drew.
In private, His Majesty the Emperor firmly believed that Shen Yuqing was reminding him to give Qiuqiu more rewards. That is to say, crying poor to him in disguise, telling the old lady that there is no money to spend, and sending money over quickly.
But Concubine Shen refused to admit it, she insisted that she wished Su Qiaorong to give him a big fat baby.
Neither of the two parties accepted the other, and in the end Concubine Shen ordered her son to urinate on His Majesty the Emperor.
At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was hugging his eldest son, he didn't believe that Qiuqiu could understand Shen Yuqing's words at such a young age, and he was still laughing at Shen Yuqing's whimsy. As a result, reality slapped him hard in the face, and Qiuqiu's body shook in the next second.
The mother took a look and immediately said, "The eldest son of the emperor has urinated, change the diaper quickly."
His Majesty the Emperor: "..."
Fortunately, there is a diaper between them, otherwise his dragon robe!
In fact, such a big baby can't control the desire to urinate, and his body is not yet fully developed. But it is impossible to hold back the urine, and you can still urinate if you want to.
Mammy went to change the diaper with the baby in her arms, and Qiuqiu, who was far away from the land of right and wrong, was very happy, and she didn't feel that she had escaped a catastrophe at all.
At this awkward moment, Qingxi ran over holding her masterpiece.
"Father, Father, look at my drawing!"
His Majesty's attention was immediately diverted, and he forgot that Shen Yuqing had just instigated his son to urinate on him.
Shen Yuqing wandered out to have a look at Qiuqiu.
Today it was the imperial doctor's turn to check her and Qiuqiu's pulse, but because Qiuqiu was changing diapers, the imperial doctor went to show the empress first.
Of course there is nothing wrong with it, Fu Qiushui is in good health now. Because of the daily exercise, she is not as weak as other concubines.
Then he checked Shen Yuqing and Qiuqiu's pulse, and they were also very healthy.
Shen Yuqing waited for him to finish the examination for Qingxi before asking: "The last time Concubine Yan suddenly had abdominal pain, what happened?"
Su Qiaorong felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen after getting up that time, thinking it was a cold. Later, the imperial physician was invited to find out that she was pregnant.
Why do I have stomach pains during pregnancy? Could it be tire gas
Shen Yuqing had always forgotten to ask about this matter, but she just remembered when she saw the imperial doctor come to ask for pulse today.
The head of the imperial hospital replied respectfully: "There is an ice basin in the room of the imperial concubine Yan, and the cold air enters the body, so I have abdominal pain."
That is to say, Su Qiaorong didn't know she was pregnant at first, and it was hotter than usual that night, so she used some ice basins to cool off. I didn't expect that because I couldn't catch cold because of pregnancy, my stomach suddenly hurt.
Now Su Qiaorong doesn't dare to use the ice basin, for fear of something going wrong. She also ate very little ice bowls every day, and only let the palace people use fans to cool her off, and the food was cooled by well water.
In summer, the well water is cool, and the food eaten in the water is also a bit cool, but it will not be too cold like an ice bowl.
Shen Yuqing nodded, turned her head and said to the emperor: "Do you still have ice silk cloth in your warehouse? I don't have any here. If you still have some, give your wife some to use. Don't overheat her."
Qiuqiu's close-fitting clothes are made of ice silk cloth, and the cloth is taken from the emperor's warehouse. I heard Jinli say that there are not many cloths, so I don't know if there are any left.
The emperor didn't know, so he had to go back and ask Jinli.
But even if there is, you have to go back to the palace to get it. The only way is for people to make the clothes in the palace first, and then send them as soon as possible.
After such a toss, even if there is cloth, it will be delayed for two or three days.
"I'll go back and ask." The emperor didn't stay here any longer, and went to look for Jin Li in his own yard, thinking about it and finding a way to get some.
This cloth is warm in winter and cool in summer, very practical. It's a pity that the quantity is small. The emperor himself didn't seem to use it to make clothes, so he gave it all to his son.
Shen Yuqing doesn't need to wear this, she has internal strength to regulate her body temperature, and the one on Fu Qiushui was given by Shen Yuqing a long time ago.
The emperor counted his relatives, Qingxi did not, Su Qiaorong did not, the Queen Mother did not, Qixue did not, and Su Qiaorong's future child was not. In this way, the demand is a bit large.
It's all due to the terrible weather in Huaijing, people freeze to death in winter and heat to death in summer. Winter and summer in Jiangnan Water Town are not friendly at all, not as beautiful as written in poems and songs.
Shen Yuqing missed her poisonous sister and good friend very much. She raised an ice silkworm Gu in her hand, which can mass produce ice silk cloth. You can have as much as you want, there is no need to calculate.
They are so pitiful, as if the family is so poor that they have to split a penny in half to spend.
His Majesty the Emperor volunteered to solve the problem, and Shen Yuqing stopped meddling. After specifying new practice content for my daughter, I decided to take the adults out for a stroll.
Although the weather is very hot now, Shen Yuqing's internal energy Moon Soul is very useful. The adult squatted obediently in her arms and refused to get down at all.
During this period of time, due to the weather, adults are not willing to go out to play. This cat cub is not a character that can stay still, and it must have been bored by now.
Being led by Shen Yuqing to walk around, the adult was very excited, his little head turned left and right, curious about everything.
"Are you happy?" Shen Yuqing kissed its hairy head.
The adult stretched out his little paw and pushed her mouth away: "Meow."
"Catch fish for you, okay?" Shen Yuqing asked enthusiastically.
After asking, he didn't care about the adult's answer, put the adult on his forehead, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted down to the river to fish.
The sun is shining right now, and there is no one in the garden. The palace people would not come out to do things at this time, and Shen Yuqing didn't bring the palace ladies and eunuchs with her, so she was the only one here. She is not afraid of affecting her image, the most important thing is that Mrs. Mao is happy.
The carp raised in this palace pond are all ornamental carp, not afraid of people. Not only is it not afraid, but it also chases people around, because usually people will feed them when they approach.
Shen Yuqing didn't bring any fish food, but the carp didn't know it, so they surrounded it happily.
The imperial concubine caught one accurately, and under the command of the adults, she caught a small golden carp. It's only the size of a palm, and it doesn't look as fat as other carp, and it can swim very flexibly, and it should have less fat.
In short, it looks better than other carp.
Concubine Shen opened Yu Maliu's stomach with great interest, and was about to find some branches to grill the fish when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps.
"Your Majesty!" It was Qingzhou who came running, "Your Majesty, something happened! Something happened in the yard of Empress Meibi!"
I thought today would be as safe and peaceful as before, but I didn't expect Concubine Fu to attack suddenly, saying that there was something bad in Concubine Mei's room. She insisted on asking the palace servants to go in and search the house, making Concubine Mei very angry.
After hearing the news, Qingzhou immediately came to report to Shen Yuqing. At this moment, the concubines in the palace were probably rushing towards the courtyard of Concubine Mei.
"Concubine Fu is an idiot." Shen Yuqing frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly.
She casually threw the processed golden carp into Qing Zhou's hands: "Go, let Qing Feng make it for adults to eat."
Then she rubbed her head with the kitten, and coaxed the adults to squat on Qingzhou's head.
"Be good, go back to eat fish, mother will go to see Concubine Mei first."
The adult licked his paw, meowed, and squinted at her, as if he disliked her for talking too much.
After sending away one person and one cat, Shen Yuqing pulled two weeds and rubbed them on her hands, then washed them off with clean water. This grass can remove the smell, so she can't meet those women with the smell of fish.
When Shen Yuqing arrived, almost everyone was there.
Concubine Shen came to Empress Empress's side unhurriedly: "What's wrong?"
What are you doing standing in the yard? Not too hot
Fu Qiushui glanced at her, and pondered for a while: "Let's go, go and sit in Liu Zhaoyi's room first. The search will have to wait a while, and it won't be finished in a while."
There lived three concubines in this courtyard, sisters from the Yu family and Liu Zhaoyi. Both Meipin and Liu Zhaoyi, sisters of the Yu family, were present at the scene, but Xipin was missing.
Shen Yuqing glanced at Concubine Mei, and saw that she was holding the hand of the Grand Palace Maid Chanjuan, wearing a lush light green dress with emerald green bamboo branches. The whole person stands firm and upright, looking like a talented woman with backbone, she would rather bend than bend.
Her appearance was naturally unpopular in the eyes of women, but His Majesty the Emperor had a flash of appreciation in his eyes when he saw this.
This is the difference between women and men. Women hate other women who are good-looking and pretend to be troublesome, but men don't hate them. A talented girl like this has always been sought after by men in the capital. Even if not all men like it, it is always worth appreciating.
Concubine Mei didn't weaken when she saw His Majesty the Emperor, let alone complained. She just bowed politely and looked at the emperor with trusting eyes.
His Majesty the Emperor paused, and first responded to the empress's words about entering the house and sitting down: "My concubines, go in and rest, the sun is shining outside."
Then he looked at Concubine Mei, and asked softly: "Is Mei'er wronged?"
"Mei'er is not wronged." Concubine Mei was neither humble nor overbearing, she slightly bent her eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty will definitely give Meier justice, how could Meier be wronged?"
His Majesty the Emperor is very useful, if all the women in the harem are as obedient and sensible as Concubine Mei, that would be great.
He walked over, took Concubine Mei's hand and walked into the main hall of the West Wing where Liu Zhaoyi lived. When everyone saw His Majesty's attitude, they thought about it.
Seeing Concubine Mei being so frank, it seems that she has never done such a thing. However, it is not ruled out that Concubine Mei is confident that the things have been hidden, or that the things have been cleaned up.
The emperor's attitude became even clearer, he believed in Concubine Mei very much. I'm afraid that even if it is found out that there is such a thing, the emperor will not believe it, and will definitely investigate further.
Some things cannot be postponed, such as the case of Concubine Mei, even if she really did it, if you search deeply and find nothing, the emperor will forget it after a long time. He only remembers his love for Concubine Mei, but he doesn't remember how angry he was when the incident first broke out.
Big things become small, small things become small, maybe things will end in such an anticlimactic manner in the end.
In short, it was a pity that everyone looked at Fu Bin. What Concubine Fu did this time is destined not to have too much impact on Concubine Mei, no matter how much she jumps around, it's useless.
After a while, Shen Yuqing had found a seat and sat down.
Although she doesn't know what happened yet, she can probably guess it. It was nothing more than the matter of the nightmare technique last time, Concubine Xi approached Liu Zhaoyi, but Zhaoyi pretended to be a fool and refused, so now Concubine Fu has become the first bird.
Whether Concubine Fu was really stupid and was taken advantage of, or if she went along with the situation and tried her best, it had nothing to do with her.
She raised her brows slightly, leaned lazily in her seat, and suddenly asked, "No one can explain to me, what happened?"
It is estimated that only Shen Yuqing has a half-knowledge here, and everyone else has already learned about it from the palace population before they came. Only she left Qingzhou to take care of Mr. Mao, and didn't have time to ask anything.
Miss Dong Xiao saw that everyone did not intend to speak, so she briefly explained the matter under the empress's gesture.
What happened was probably that Concubine Fu suddenly decided to be the young bird for some reason, so she came to talk to Concubine Xi today to relieve her boredom. While chatting, she found that Concubine Xi had been in low spirits and her head was throbbing, which made her feel very strange.
It just so happened that the maid brought by Concubine Fu was chatting with Concubine Xi's people in the shade of the courtyard to cool off the heat, but she saw a palace man in the east wing next door sneaking in with something.
Her eyes were sharp, and she saw at a glance that those things were not simple, and had something to do with Taoist magic.
So the maid immediately went into the room and reported to Concubine Fu, which made Concubine Fu suspicious.
She couldn't figure out why Xibi was unwell, Xibi said that the symptoms had been going on for more than a month, but when she went back to the imperial doctor to check, she said that no problem was found. This time, after hearing what the maid said, she had a bold guess.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Mei must be using some kind of sorcery to absorb Concubine Xi's energy, otherwise why would Sister Xi Concubine have a headache for no reason?" Concubine Fu said firmly.
I heard that there is a kind of magic that can steal other people's luck, and the person who is sucked away will become unlucky, lose their minds day and night, and have headaches from time to time. These all corresponded to Concubine Xi's symptoms, and the palace man who entered Concubine Mei's room was still holding Taoism items in his hand.
If Concubine Mei was not using some sorcery, she absolutely would not believe it.
No wonder Concubine Mei suddenly regained her favor, no wonder her sister Concubine Xi began to have bad luck one after another. After going on for a long time, Concubine Mei used sorcery to steal other people's luck, and naturally she snatched other people's favor.
This theory is very absurd, but in this feudal superstitious world, it can still bluff people.
His Majesty the Emperor agreed to the search, but he did not allow the concubines and concubines to intervene, and only allowed the palace people around him to go in to find out.
Yi Xipin was not present due to physical discomfort, while the rest of the people stood outside waiting for the results of the search. When Shen Yuqing arrived, the palace guard in charge of searching the house had already entered.
The east wing of the Xinggong Palace is much smaller than ordinary palaces, even if it is searched inch by inch, it will not take long.
Soon, Miss Jinli, who was in charge of searching the palace, came out: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, nothing suspicious was found."
It is impossible to find things, and it is impossible to find them in this life. His Majesty the Emperor didn't want people to find things, even if Jin Li did find them, he still couldn't find them.
Concubine Fu was surprised for a moment, but there was still an old look on her face. Jin Li glanced at her silently, it seems that there is another trick
Sure enough, not long after Jin Li finished speaking, the palace maid next to Concubine Fu suddenly pushed a person in.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned: "What is this?"
"Return to Your Majesty, this person is the palace man I met before." The eldest palace maid said hastily.
That's right, Concubine Fu's excuse for attacking at the beginning was that her court lady saw a palace man sneaking into Concubine Mei's east chamber with something. It is only natural that this palace man was arrested now.
Concubine Fu stood up at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, after the concubine realized that something was wrong, she kept the palace servants staring at sister Concubine Mei. During this period, no one came out with that strange thing, so it must still be in the east chamber." .Since it was not found, it could only be hidden on someone's body."
After finishing speaking, she looked at the palace man who was pressed on the ground, her meaning was obvious.
She thought that the palace servants hid things on her body and did not put them in the East Wing, so she searched the house and found no problems. There is another meaning in her words: let the emperor order the bodies of all the people in the East Chamber to be searched to see if there is anything bad hidden on them.
His Majesty the Emperor was impatient.
The other concubines came in after the general election, but this concubine Fu was forced by the Fu family. How annoying is she herself? Doesn't she even count
In the past, Concubine Fu kept quiet and didn't do anything, but he could bear it. Now that Concubine Fu is making such a fuss, is she reminding him that he is too kind to the Fu family
"Then search the body of this palace servant." His Majesty the Emperor said coldly.
He said so, but he didn't let go of his mouth and allowed the other palace people in the East Chamber to be searched. Everyone couldn't help but look sideways, and raised Concubine Mei's threat level even higher, His Majesty really defended her.
Concubine Fu was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say more. We can only settle for the next best thing and let people do it quickly.
The palace servants were forced to go to the ear room for a search, and they quickly found a mahogany plaque with the name and birth date of Xi concubine engraved on the clothes, a purse containing a few strands of hair, and several yellow cards with strange patterns drawn with cinnabar. paper symbol.
What the palace lady saw before was the yellow paper talisman that this palace man accidentally dropped from his sleeve.
But before she could see it clearly, the palace servant immediately picked it up and put it away, buried her head in the east chamber, and disappeared.
"These..." Seeing these things, everyone had different expressions.
Concubine Mei is still very calm, the emperor's attitude is her reassurance. Since the emperor is determined to protect her, even if she is convicted in the end, he will just give her some mild punishment and then expose the matter.
That being the case, why is she in a hurry? She was framed in the first place, so there is no need to feel guilty.
The emperor became even more impatient when he saw these messy ghost symbols. They also pretended to be some fake talisman papers. These paintings are nothing.
Shen Yuqing watched it with great interest, she was probably the only one among the crowd who had seen the real talisman. Although these fake talismans are a bit of a stretch, they are also quite fun.
Concubine Fu hid the gloating in her eyes, and asked Concubine Mei aggressively: "Sister Concubine Mei, please explain carefully what these are."
"How did I know?" Concubine Mei didn't fall for it at all, she glanced at Concubine Fu, "I don't know any sorcery, Concubine Fu's younger sister knows it very well, why don't you explain it to me?"
After she finished speaking, Fu Bin suddenly realized that she was too complacent.
How could she, a boudoir, know the effects of magic? And why do you know what to use to make magic
He was too busy pouring dirty water on Concubine Mei, but forgot to take himself out.
Concubine Fu gritted her teeth secretly, she knew from the very beginning that Concubine Xi was unwilling to stand out on her own, and it would be tricky to leave this matter to her. But she had no choice but to take risks for the sake of the Fu family.
Concubine Mei has the secret of regaining her favor, and concubine Xi biting her to death is a nightmare technique.
Thinking of the Fu family behind her, Concubine Fu had spent so much effort sending her into the palace, wasn't it just to make her favor and promote the Fu family? As a result, after tossing for so long, it was in vain.
For the nightmare in Concubine Mei's hands, she had to cooperate with Concubine Xi to stand out and stand out.
It's a pity that she was careless for a while, and she had to restrain herself, otherwise she would not have brought Concubine Mei down, but would have pitted herself first.
Concubine Fu immediately put on an angry look, just like a little girl who is very angry after being beaten up. She is already tender, and she likes to pretend to be tender, so it doesn't feel out of place to look at her like this.
Relying on pretending to be tender, she prevaricates Concubine Mei's question, and only bites Concubine Mei to death to quibble. There was no positive response, and I didn't dare to say what I had made up.
She didn't say anything, but Shen Yuqing answered with great interest: "Sister Fu Concubine didn't say anything, but I guessed something. If the guess is correct, Sister Fu Concubine wanted to say that the hair in the purse belonged to Concubine Xi Concubine Mei used Xi concubine's hair, the mahogany plaque engraved with concubine Xi's name, birth date, and a few talismans to perform a nightmare technique to absorb concubine Xi's energy?"
Concubine Fu's expression changed slightly, which was roughly the same when she and Concubine Xi were on good terms.
It should be thinner: the hair should be wrapped around the mahogany card, and then the two talisman papers should be pasted on the front and back of the mahogany wood and lit together. After the ashes are burned, put the ashes in a purse and hang them in an inconspicuous place on the back of the bedpost, and that's it.
Originally, a purse containing ashes could be found by searching the house, but it was hidden by Jinli.
"However, there is one thing I don't understand." Shen Yuqing smiled half-smile, "According to what you said, Concubine Mei has already sucked Concubine Xi's energy, why did you come here again today, and you just happened to find out?"
