Chapter 384: After the complaint, everyone was very happy. The first thing she did when she returned to the palace was to get promoted to the position of the emperor.
Xu Chenghui met Concubine Xu, who was always on good terms with Di Shen Liang. Now Concubine Xu was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace, and many things had to go through her hands.
It’s not good to offend Concubine Xu.
Xu Chenghui hurried forward to greet her, "Concubine Xu, you may have heard me wrongly. I didn't mention Shen Liangdi."
Concubine Xu snorted, "My ears are very good. I heard every word you said just now. You are so brave to curse your highness's offspring. When your highness comes back, I will tell you everything and make you useless."
Xu Chenghui was so frightened that his legs went limp. He knelt on the ground with a thump and pleaded pitifully, "Concubine Xu, there are rumors all over the East Palace, and I am not the only one guessing. Everyone is saying this. Concubine Xu, please let me off the hook and don't tell His Highness."
"If you had known this earlier, why would you have been so harsh just now? Go explain it to His Highness yourself." After saying this, Concubine Xu looked at Concubine Xue and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Concubine Shen and the babies are all fine. As for you, you don't even have a chance to have a baby."
"Concubine Xu, you should be more careful with your words. You came in earlier than me, and I didn't see any movement in your stomach." Concubine Xue glanced at Concubine Xu's stomach. "Is there something wrong?"
Concubine Xu put her hands on her hips and showed Concubine Xue her belly. "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm in great shape."
Concubine Xue sneered, "You're in good health, but you still can't have a child? You treat Shen Liang Di so well, but you haven't seen Shen Liang Di say a few nice words to His Highness and give you a few opportunities to sleep with him."
"Want to sow discord? What a pity, I don't have to sleep with you." Concubine Xu smiled and said, "Unlike someone who wants to sleep with you day and night but has no chance."
Concubine Xue Ce paused while drinking tea and rolled her eyes in anger. What an idiot.
At this moment, there was a lot of noise coming from not far away, and the sound of chatting could be heard.
Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan into the East Palace and looked around the palace after not seeing it for two months. It was still snowing before she left, but now the whole garden would be filled with spring.
"After being away for two months, I still miss the East Palace." She missed her small vegetable garden, the orchard, and the chicken coop. Fortunately, someone takes care of them, otherwise I would not be able to sleep well outside.
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei. Seeing her smiling face, he said, "I thought you were reluctant to come back after leaving the palace."
Shen Chuwei touched her ears guiltily. Between Gongli and Fuyaoju, she naturally liked Fuyaoju.
However, if there was no Xiao Jinyan in Fuyaoju, she would still choose Donggong, and the family of four should be together.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if she gets free food and drinks.
When Concubine Xu saw the light in Shen Chuwei's eyes, she no longer cared about Xu Chenghui and Concubine Xue, and went to meet them, waving her handkerchief.
"Shen Liangdi."
Shen Chuwei looked at Xu Cefei who was walking towards her, and saw that her originally chubby face had become pointed.
"Concubine Xu, I haven't seen you for two months. You have lost weight."
Concubine Xu did not forget to bow to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness."
She just stared at Shen Chuwei the whole time. After the ceremony, she couldn't wait to show off and spun around. "I missed you guys these past two months and my appetite wasn't very good, so I lost weight and my clothes look better."
Xiao Jinyan watched the interaction between Shen Chuwei and Concubine Xu and knew that Concubine Xu was speaking from the heart and that such friendship was hard to come by in the palace.
Xu Chenghui saw His Highness and Shen Liangdi from a distance. Behind Shen Liangdi, Chunxi was holding a child in her arms, and Little Rabbit was also holding a child in her arms.
This picture is enough to dispel those false rumors.
Xu Chenghui was extremely scared. It was all over. His Highness would definitely be angry.
When Concubine Xue saw that Di Shen and the children were all fine, she felt unwilling to accept the fact. Why didn't they die outside? Why did they come back?
His Highness came back, and Concubine Xue and Xu Chenghui went to greet him and bowed.
"May your highness be blessed with good health."
After Concubine Xu and Di Shen finished reminiscing about the past, they saw Concubine Xue and Xu Chenghui also coming. They had a report that if they didn't beat them, they would be a puppy.
She turned to Xiao Jinyan and said, "By the way, Your Highness, during the days when Shen Liangdi was away, rumors were rife in the Eastern Palace. It was even said that something had happened to the cursed babies and Shen Liangdi had gone mad."
Xu Chenghui felt extremely guilty. Concubine Xu's mouth was like a machine gun. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't argue with her. Now she even liked to report on him.
How much benefit did Shen Liangdi bring to you?
Concubine Xue cursed in her heart, "Concubine Xu is such a bitch. Didi Shen treated you as a pawn and you were so happy that you wagged your tail like a dog."
Xiao Jinyan's eyes turned cold, "Who is so bold as to curse Shen Liangdi and the Emperor's grandson and granddaughter?"
Concubine Xu threw her handkerchief at Xu Chenghui and Concubine Xue, "Your Highness, look, aren't they the two in front of you? I just heard them say."
Concubine Xue turned her head to look at Concubine Xu and said softly, "Concubine Xu, you must have heard me wrongly. How could I curse Concubine Shen Liangdi? We are sisters, don't we all hope for each other's best?"
When Xu Chenghui saw Xue Cefei pushing the pussy clean, she followed her example.
"Your Highness, I did not curse Shen Liang Di, and I do not have the courage to do so. I am just curious about why Shen Liang Di has been away from the palace for so long."
She also heard it from others. Besides, Shen Liangdi had not appeared for such a long time and the children were missing. Anyone would think that the children were gone and Shen Liangdi had gone crazy. It was not her fault.
Concubine Xu was so angry, "You guys just cursed me, and now you deny it? You are so shameless."
Concubine Xue glanced at Concubine Xu and didn't take her seriously at all. She looked at Xiao Jinyan and said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, I don't have that intention."
She actually hoped that the child would die, and Shen Liangdi went crazy.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Concubine Xue and Xu Chenghui. Even if Concubine Xu didn't say it, he could tell from their inner thoughts how vicious their mouths were.
"You mean Concubine Xu has wronged you?"
Without waiting for Concubine Xue and Xu Chenghui to explain, Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "You dare to curse the heir to the throne. I will punish you to chant sutras in the Buddhist temple for one hour and copy a copy of the Diamond Sutra."
After saying that, he took Shen Chuwei's hand and walked away.
Concubine Xu felt very happy and happily followed them to the Hehuan Palace, waving her handkerchief. She hadn't seen Taotao and Susu for a long time and missed the brother and sister so much.
Only the angry Concubine Xue and Xu Chenghui were left.
Back at the Hehuan Hall, nothing had changed inside.
The first thing Concubine Xu did when she came in was to hug Taotao and Susu.
"Susu, I haven't seen you for two months. You've become more beautiful, and your little face has more flesh." Concubine Xu hugged Susu and teased her while talking.
Susu was very supportive and cooperative, grinning and giggling from time to time, which made Concubine Xu Ce very happy.
Shen Chuwei was feeling a little sleepy at this moment, so she lay on the couch, intending to take a nap.
Xiao Jinyan sat on the couch, looking at her lazy appearance. It seemed that her daughter was not much like Xiaojiu in this respect.
Xiao Jinyan had not been sitting there for long before he was called to Yu's study by Eunuch Li.
After the empress was found, the emperor felt relieved. Although Ye Chu made him very unhappy, fortunately he would not be able to bother the empress in the future, so he felt relieved.
Xiao Jinyan stepped into Yu's study and went forward to greet him. "Father asked me to come here. Is there anything I need you to do?"
The emperor put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the prince. If he had known this would happen, he would have directly appointed Shen Liangdi as the crown princess at the full-moon banquet, and the empress would not have left the palace.
He wouldn't be away from the Queen, Susu and Taotao for two months.
"I intend to make Shen Liang Di the Crown Princess. To make the status more suitable, I will confer the title of Princess Jiahe on Shen Liang Di."
After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan was very happy. He could finally marry Xiaojiu in a formal way.
He knelt down quickly to thank Him.
"Thank you, Father, for your grace."
The emperor looked at the prince's happy expression and suddenly remembered how happy he was when he was still the prince and was preparing to marry the princess.
"Go back and make preparations. Let Lord Lu choose an auspicious day to hold the Crown Princess Ceremony."
"Your son obeys your command." Xiao Jinyan happily returned to the Hehuan Palace.
Not long after returning to Hehuan Hall, the imperial edict arrived.
A group of people came out and followed Shen Chuwei to receive the imperial edict.
It was still Eunuch Li who read the imperial edict.
When Shen Chuwei heard that she was to be conferred the title of princess, she was stunned for a long time.
Until she heard Eunuch Li say that he would make her the Crown Princess and would hold a ceremony to enthronize her on a certain day.
Shen Chuwei was still dizzy.
Eunuch Li reminded with a smile: "Shen Liang Di, are you so happy that you are stupid? Hurry up and accept the order and thank the emperor."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Lord."
When she received the imperial edict, Shen Chuwei felt like she was dreaming. She had suddenly transformed from a concubine into the Crown Princess.
The ceremony of enthroning the Crown Princess is held and she will become the Crown Princess in full legitimacy.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, all his family members benefit.
All the servants in Hehuan Palace, Xiyun Pavilion and Xiaoxiang Pavilion ascended to heaven.
"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady."
Shen Chuwei was brought back to reality by a wave of congratulations. She was indeed going to be made the Crown Princess.
The most excited person was Yu Chunxi. She had followed Shen Chuwei wholeheartedly since she was no longer favored.
Witnessing the process of Shen Chuwei's going from being unfavored to gradually being favored, it was a roller coaster ride, enough for her to brag about for the rest of her life.
"My lady, we have finally reached the highest point, Crown Princess, look at how good my vision is."
Shen Chuwei said, "I have good taste. I chose you as my personal maid. Let's have a braised dinner tonight."
Chunxi: “…” The last sentence is the key point!
Xiao Jinyan couldn't wait to call Lu Zhaoyan over to calculate an auspicious day.
"You do the math. The sooner the better."
Lu Zhaoyan said, "Your Highness, no matter how fast I try, I will give you a reply tomorrow."
Xiao Jinyan explained patiently, "What I mean is that the sooner the date for the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Princess is held, the better."
He was afraid that it was too late and someone might deliberately cause trouble and create more complications.
"I understand." Lu Zhaoyan nodded, and then said: "At the beginning, I saw that Shen Liangdi was destined to be the king of phoenixes. Now it seems that I was not wrong."
Xiao Jinyan heard this and said with some displeasure: "You calculated that Shen Liangdi would become the Crown Princess? Then why didn't you tell me at that time?"
