Chapter 33 The Delicate Palace Maid VS the Cold Emperor 33
Su Zhiruan was relieved that the Queen Mother was taking care of the princes. However, when she thought of Shen Qi's dream of being a little princess, she still wanted to laugh.
Shen Qi was worried that she would become anxious because of the lines on her belly, so he searched all over the country for ointments and medicinal herbs to remove scars. Countless ointments were sent to Kunning Palace alone.
Su Zhiruan looked at the boxes of ointments on the table, turned around and looked at Shen Qi helplessly, "Fortunately, the emperor is wise, otherwise if he sent me these precious things every day, I would have become a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country in the eyes of the people."
"No, Ruan Ruan is so good. Nowadays, young couples in the folks who want to have children always choose you as their first choice." Shen Qi hugged her and said softly, "By the way, the three children have not been named yet. I have thought of a few names. Ruan Ruan will decide?"
Xiao Fuzi came in with a tray with many words written on it, all of which had very good meanings.
"Ruan Ruan can think of a few names." Shen Qi asked her to look at these words and wanted her to name the child as well.
Su Zhiruan looked at the red papers with words written on them and had an idea. She turned and looked at Shen Qi with a smile, "Why not let the three children draw lots to choose their own names? Maybe God will help them choose the right words."
This was a good suggestion and Shen Qi quickly agreed.
Xiao Fuzi followed them with a tray, and the three of them came to the Cining Palace.
As soon as he entered the Cining Palace, Su Zhiruan saw Xiao Xingzhi.
The little prince had grown up a bit by this time, and his steps were very steady. When he saw her and Shen Qi, his eyes lit up, "Father, Mother!"
Su Zhiruan picked him up, and the mother and son clung to each other, showing great intimacy. This might be the power of blood ties; even if they didn't see each other every day, the blood bond would bring them close.
In the distance, three princes who were held by three old maids opened their eyes and looked over here curiously. They were too young to understand what it was, so they just stared with their round eyes.
"How is Ruan Ruan's health?" The Queen Mother asked the servants to bring a soft chair to Su Zhiruan, and Shen Qi also sat aside.
"It must be hard for your mother to take care of four children," Su Zhiruan asked the empress dowager to sit first. She looked at the three babies in the cradles with round eyes turning towards her. She teased the children and hugged them one by one. The three children were very well-behaved. When she held them in her arms, they grinned and squinted their eyes.
The Queen Mother drank a sip of tea and looked at the children with loving eyes, "I am not tired."
"Life is really good now," the Queen Mother seemed to be lost in some memories. "Since the death of the previous emperor, I have been guarding the harem and can only chat with people around me every day. Later, my mother's family also entered the palace, and I became more spoiled. Every time I see those ladies playing with their grandchildren, they wonder when there will be a few children in the harem, who will surround me lively and lively. If I can live this kind of life, I will be satisfied even if I die."
"Mother, please don't talk nonsense. You will surely live a long life." Shen Qi stopped her and changed the subject. "Mother, I thought of a few words for the child. Ruan Ruan said that the princes should pick the name themselves and call it whatever they pick."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "I think it's feasible."
So the three of them asked the maids to bring the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince forward together.
The second prince was very calm. When Xiao Fuzi put the tray in front of him, he just looked at him quietly without moving. Su Zhiruan stood up and took the tray. The little child then stretched out his hands to hug it, and then he held it in his hand as if he had grabbed something.
"It's the word 'Shu'." Su Zhiruan took the note, "Then the second prince is Shen Xingshu."
Before the Third Prince arrived, he started to make a fuss in the old nanny's arms. Xiao Fuzi took the tray from Su Zhiruan and handed it to the Third Prince. He grabbed a big word with one hand - chess.
The Fourth Prince watched all this quietly. No matter who came, he just watched quietly in the cradle, and had no intention of reaching out to grab anyone. Finally, the Queen Mother took the initiative to pick a word for him, "Duan".
Thus, the names of the three little princes were determined: the second prince Shen Xingshu, the third prince Shen Xingqi, and the fourth prince Shen Xingduan.
After the little prince's name was finalized, Shen Qi brought up another important matter.
"Ruan Ruan, I asked the Imperial Observatory to select several auspicious days. Please see which one is better and suitable for the ceremony of coronation of the queen." Shen Qi held her hand and said seriously.
"What a coincidence! I also asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate a few auspicious days. I had intended to bring up this matter earlier. There are too many things to prepare for the ceremony of crowning the queen. We can't be too hasty nor too late." The empress dowager also took out the auspicious days she had chosen a long time ago.
Su Zhiruan looked at the two people's expectant eyes, then looked at Shen Xingzhi who was blinking curiously in Shen Qi's arms, and the children held by three maids in the distance, and suddenly she felt some indescribable feelings in her heart.
"Mother, Your Majesty, thank you."
Initially, she just wanted to complete the mission and survive, but she didn't expect that what she didn't get in her own world, she would get the care of others in another way in the small world.
* After the date of the Queen's coronation ceremony was set, the entire harem became joyous again.
The concubines who had previously stayed indoors for fear of offending Su Zhiruan also came to congratulate her.
At that time, Shen Qi ordered that the concubines below the rank of concubine be dismissed from the palace. There are still more than a dozen people above the rank of concubine, including concubines and concubines.

When they came to pay their respects to Su Zhiruan, there was no longer any jealousy or ambition to win favor in their eyes. Instead, there was only indifference and a little envy. As for Concubine Shu, she now hid very far away, fearing that Su Zhiruan would know that she was once the Imperial Concubine's running dog.
Apart from them, the only one left was the one who was demoted from a noble concubine to a noble lady by the Empress Dowager herself.
Mei Guiren, the former imperial concubine, tightened her hand holding the broom and her expression instantly became ferocious when she learned that Su Zhiruan was about to become the queen.
"What are you looking at? What's that expression on your face? Go clean the floor for me!" A concubine who had been bullied by her was chewing melon seeds, spitting out the shells while insulting her, "You bullied me in the beginning, and then you bullied the current Royal Consort Yue. Oh no, you're almost going to be the Empress. You didn't expect it, but you'll get what you deserve."
"That bitch Su Zhiruan?! Queen?!" Concubine Mei couldn't help but curse subconsciously, and then she realized her situation.
"Oh, you are so arrogant, offending the Queen." The concubine jumped up and pointed at her nose. "Come here, slap her! How dare you, a bitch, scold the Queen? The current Queen is kind and compassionate, and has great love in her heart. Everyone in the palace doesn't like her, and the whole world respects and loves her! It's a good thing you asked for your own death. If you were in power at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be alive!"
Along with the loud sound of slapping, an evil thought gradually emerged in the heart of the former imperial concubine, now noble lady Mei.
She wants Su Zhiruan to die!
Go to hell with her children!
If she can't get it, no one else can! (End of this chapter)
