Chapter 116
It was only two days later that Shen Chuliu saw the emperor again.
She took a look at the scenery in the palace herself, and then was called by the emperor to Qianfeng Pavilion.
As the name Qianfeng Pavilion suggests, there are many maple trees here, but they are still green now due to the lack of time.
When Shen Chuliu arrived, he saw the emperor sitting, and next to him were Ying Xiaoyi and Chen Baolin.
Shen Chuliu went over to pay her respects to the emperor, and the two men stood up to pay their respects to her.
After sitting down for a moment, Qi Yixiu said, "My beloved, are you not wearing enough? It's high here, and it will be cold soon."
"That's true. I thought it was midsummer now. Just ask someone to go back and get it." Shen Chuliu said.
"My clothes are here. I'll give them to you to wear when you get cold." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
She poured tea for Qi Yixiu and asked, "Are there really a thousand maple trees under the Qianfeng Pavilion?"
"Sister Jing, you're joking. From what I've seen, I'm afraid there are more than a thousand of these." Chen Baolin said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "In late autumn, this place will definitely be beautiful."
"I heard that Sister Jing is also good at painting. Why don't you paint a little when you go back?" Ying Xiaoyi said.
"Let's go back and try. I'm not good at drawing, and I guess I'll ruin the scenery." Shen Chuliu said.
"Sister Jing, what is there that you are not good at?" Chen Baolin covered her lips and said, "If Sister Jing doesn't know anything, how can the Emperor like Sister Jing?"
Shen Chuliu didn't say anything. She thought to herself that she finally understood why Chen Baolin and Concubine Li entered the palace on the same day, and why this one was so unpopular with the emperor.
Tsk, this mouth, maybe he has studied with Concubine Jin for a few days? "Did I say something wrong?" Chen Baolin was a little nervous: "Sister Jing, please remind me. What will the emperor do if I do this?"
…
Shen Chuliu felt that he was really powerless.
"Sister Chen, wouldn't it be better if you said less?" Ying Xiaoyi looked at the emperor. The emperor was smiling, but his expression had obviously turned colder.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go hunting again?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Hmm? My beloved, you want to try it too?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"I can't even ride or shoot, and I'm still anxious in this hot weather. I just thought that if the emperor still hunts, I will ask the emperor to give me some venison. I know that venison is a bit dry when roasted, but it is still good for stir-frying."
"So it's just greed." Qi Yixiu laughed.
Chen Baolin wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Ying Xiaoyi's eyes.
Ying Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Deer meat can be stir-fried or stewed with wine. Sister, try it some other day. It's what my father once said. Eat it when you're at home. But venison is hot, so eating too much is not good."
"Really? Then everything is ready, except for the venison." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"It's so hot, my beloved concubine. How kind of you to let me hunt venison for you?" Qi Yixiu laughed at her.
"That's right. Your Majesty is a wealthy man. How can he go hunting just because Concubine Jing wants to eat venison?" Chen Baolin spoke as if he had finally found the opportunity.
Shen Chuliu was silent for a moment. Well, she couldn't respond to this question.
Ying Xiaoyi still wanted to smooth things over, but Qi Yixiu was already annoyed.
It can be seen that this person had already started to act foolishly before Shen Chuliu came.
"I heard that Chen Baolin is very good at needlework, so go back and make some needlework. On the fourth day of the New Year, ask someone to send her away." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Chen Baolin's face turned pale: "Your Majesty...your concubine..."
"Baolin, please." Chusi said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. I'm stupid and if I said something wrong..."
"If you know you're stupid, just say less." Qi Yixiu remained unmoved.
Chen Baolin's face became even uglier. He glared at Shen Chuliu hatefully, then left.
Shen Chuliu felt that he was really wronged this time and was shot even when he was lying down.
But he didn't say anything.
After Chen Baolin left, Shen Chuliu had to smooth things over. Compared to Shen Chuliu, Ying Xiaoyi was still not important enough.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me and Ying Xiaoyi and ask the guards to go hunting deer, okay?" Shen Chuliu stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Qi Yixiu's sleeve.
Although she was talking about Lu, her big eyes clearly begged him, "Please don't be angry, we didn't do anything wrong."
Qi Yixiu smiled and pinched her cheek: "Greedy."
"On the fourth day, have someone get a deer and ask the imperial kitchen to serve it. Cook it for them in the evening. I'll try it too. Have someone send some to the queen."
"Hey." Chusi had just sent Chen Baolin outside the pavilion and came back.
I went to do errands on the fourth day of the New Year, thinking that it was the difference between being favored or not.
Those who are favored can do whatever they want, but those who are not favored...
But then again, if you don't have brains, you won't be favored.
With a good family background as well, Chen Baolin was afraid that he could only wait for the great conferment before he could be promoted.
It was indeed cool in Qianfeng Pavilion. Shen Chuliu looked at it and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen the maple leaves here when they are all red?"
Qi Yixiu nodded: "I have been here a few times. I will bring you here again when I have the chance."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two men said with a smile.
"It's getting late now, so go down first. I asked you to talk about it because I want to eat venison." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu smiled evilly, then stood up and followed him downstairs.
This pavilion is halfway up the mountain. Although it is a very low slope and has been repaired very flat, it still has a slope.
Even if you are standing on bluestone slabs, you still have to be careful.
Shen Chuliu held Zhemei's hand and walked carefully.
As she was walking, she was suddenly pulled by a pair of big hands. Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "My beloved concubine, you are walking very carefully. I will give you a hand."
Shen Chuliu smiled shyly and let Qi Yixiu hold her hand and walk slowly.
Behind, Ying Xiaoyi pretended not to see anything and walked slowly holding her girl's hand.
After coming down, Qi Yixiu let go, and Shen Chuliu breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly.
Soon we returned to Wanhuatang.
Zizhu has arrived and is helping Shen Chuliu change clothes. Ying Xiaoyi's maid also comes to help her change clothes.
After changing their clothes, the two went to serve the emperor.
Because we went there in the afternoon, it was already late after all the trouble.
When it comes to the meal, venison is of course indispensable.
Both roasted and stewed are available.
Since it was Shen Chuliu who asked to eat, Qi Yixiu naturally picked up a few pieces for her with his chopsticks.
She ate them all, too.
For a teenage girl, eating some meat is not a problem at all.
After eating, Shen Chuliu personally made tea for Qi Yixiu and Ying Xiaoyi.
At this time, Ying Xiaoyi had already begun to consider that someone would have to stay tonight.
Of course she would like to be the one, but after all, her position is not as high as Jing Meiren.
In recent days, she has been serving the emperor for three days.
Just when she was thinking this, Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "I have made tea for His Majesty. I will go back first. Your Majesty and Sister Ying can have some tea and rest. If I remember correctly, Your Majesty will be busy tomorrow?"
The emperor is going to inspect the farmland.
I guess it would be inappropriate not to do something serious now that we are here.
