Chapter 11 Petty
The two of them stopped talking, and Qi Yixiu stroked Shen Chuliu's back like petting a cat.
At first she felt itchy, then she couldn't stop feeling sleepy.
I got up too early in the morning and didn't sleep well at noon...
The servants around them looked at them strangely. Why was there no movement yet?
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Yixiu was about to get up, only to find that the little concubine in his arms had fallen asleep.
"Your Majesty, I have lost my manners."
He said it was impolite, but he didn't seem to take it seriously.
Qi Yixiu naturally wouldn't bother about such a small matter: "Well, let's go. It's late."
Shen Chuliu blushed and answered, the next thing would be to serve the emperor in bed, so of course she would be shy.
In the bedroom, the girl was held in his arms, trembling all over.
Qi Yixiu was satisfied, he quite liked the style of Shen Baolin on the couch. Coquettish and bold.
"How should I reward you?" Qi Yixiu's slightly hoarse voice came.
Shen Chuliu said after a while: "It would be a loss for me if you don't give me a reward, but I can't think of it for the time being. Can you wait until I think of it before talking to me?"
Qi Yixiu naturally had no objection, but he thought that this was just another way of retreating to advance.
Every woman in the harem was eager to take his reward in her hands.
How can it not be rare?
I can’t imagine, I’m afraid she wants a lot.
However, he had been used to it since he was a child and didn't care about it.
If a person is truly free of desires, he won't touch it.
Shen Chuliu was extremely tired. After the palace maid came in to help them wash up, she quickly fell asleep next to the emperor.
Before falling asleep, she thought that the emperor had always given face to the Jing'an Marquisate. At least she had never been sent back after serving him in bed.
In this regard, several imperial concubines are not so lucky.
The next day, after Shen Chuliu escorted the emperor to court, he went to Fengzao Palace.
She was delayed a little today, so she didn't arrive as early as before.
However, the queen did not make things difficult for her.
To be precise, the queen never liked to make things difficult for anyone over trivial matters.
"Oh, Shen Baolin is late today. According to legend, Miao Cairen was promoted yesterday, so it should be Miao Cairen who should sleep with me, but Shen Baolin took the opportunity." He Xiuyi said with a smile.
After Shen Chuliu greeted everyone, he said, "Who can influence the emperor's will?"
Miao Cairen sat there, her face looking as ugly as if she had been hit.
Before Shen Chuliu came, she had already been laughed at for a long time.
But she alone couldn't win the argument with everyone.
To say more, they are all people of higher status than her, and she really doesn't dare to offend them.
Lady Cao did not come today, but Concubine Li said, "This Miao Xiaoyi was originally unique in the position of Xiaoyi, and now she has become a talented person. Tsk tsk. This Ning Cairen can't compare to her."
He is a talented person and has a title.
"It doesn't matter if I can't compare with her. Talented Lady Miao is so capable that I'm afraid even Sister Cao and Sister Li can't compare with her. But she became a talent within a few days of entering the palace. Isn't it just a matter of time before she becomes a beautiful concubine?" Talented Lady Ning said coldly.
"If my sister had said this in the past, I would have said that she was crazy. But now, it's really hard to say." Concubine Li was not angry.
Anyone who still can't see that this talented person is just a show-off is blind.
It’s just that no one quite understands whether the emperor is addressing the Deer King or something else.
With this view, everyone treated this talented person even more rudely.
According to the situation last night, Shen Baolin stole her favor, so she had to make things difficult for Shen Baolin.
But the situation now is that she simply doesn't dare.
When Concubine Feng and Concubine Yi arrived together, everyone greeted them again.
The Queen had always disliked Concubine Feng, but she was still okay with her for the sake of face.
The Queen was a princess of another family, and her status was high enough. When she married the Emperor, who was still a prince, she was only fourteen years old.
Now, eight years have passed and she is still childless. No one knows what is going on here.
However, as Concubine Feng was the niece of Empress Dowager Feng and a noble lady of the dynasty, she would naturally not take a princess from another country seriously.
What's more, the Chao Kingdom showed weakness, and the Queen was also a princess married into a foreign kingdom.
Now that Concubine Yi is on Concubine Feng's side, doesn't that mean she doesn't think highly of the Queen?
The two of them were high enough in status, so they were too lazy to do things like ridicule Miao Cairen. They just ignored it.
After the greetings were over, everyone dispersed in twos and threes.
Lu Baolin asked Shen Chuliu to visit the Imperial Garden again.
This time she did not refuse, so she went to the Imperial Garden with Yao Baolin and Lu Baolin.
Just as I passed by a clump of withered peonies, I heard a eunuch scolding the palace maids below.
"You are a bunch of careless people. You dare to throw the flowers that Concubine Yi wanted? Don't try to fool me. None of you can escape. All of you should go to the Internal Criminal Department to receive your punishment!"
When everyone heard about the Internal Criminal Department, they were so scared that they trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Lu Baolin suddenly spoke up at this time: "What happened?"
The leading eunuch put on a smiling face when he saw them: "Oh, it turns out to be the three Baolins. These ignorant people have made mistakes. They are really disturbing the Baolins."
"I heard that, too. They are just flowers and plants. Why are they worthy of going to the Internal Criminal Department? They are all beautiful girls. Father-in-law, please give us some consideration."
Shen Chuliu suddenly smiled: "Sister Lu is just good-tempered, but we just passed by and didn't hear everything she said, so don't delay your father-in-law's work. Didn't they say the lotus flowers are in bloom? Let's go and take a look?" After saying that, she left early.
Lu Baolin was stunned, frowned slightly, and then said nothing more.
Yao Baolin didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The eunuch politely saw them off and then cursed softly, "The dog is trying to catch a rat."
Those palace maids who made mistakes were eventually sent to the Internal Punishment Department.
While admiring the lotus, Lu Baolin suddenly said, "Sister, do you think I shouldn't cause trouble? Are you afraid of offending Concubine Yi? But this is not a big deal, why would Concubine Yi care?"
Shen Chuliu said in a sly voice: "Sister Lu, you are worrying too much. I just felt that you didn't listen to our conversation completely, so I was afraid that my good intentions might lead to bad results."
Yao Baolin also laughed and said, "There is no room for kindness in the palace."
Seeing that the two of them were so of the same mind, Lu Baolin stopped talking and left first out of boredom after a while.
After she left, Yao Baolin said, "She is good in every way, except that she has a kind heart."
Shen Chuliu smiled and didn't respond.
Thinking that she was kindhearted? What if Lu Baolin was really a saint? Tsk, how could you tell the character of a woman in the palace at a glance?
My position is too low now, everything is fake.
Just wait and see over time.
Anyway, she couldn't get close to Lu Baolin.
This person is very inconsistent. He comes from a scholarly family, but he only relies on his good embroidery skills to please the queen and ask for the opportunity to sleep with her.
There is nothing wrong with doing so, but Lu Baolin comes from a very good family, so doing so would be a bit petty.
