Chapter 125
Shen Chuliu didn't care about anything and just listened to everyone's arrangements.
However, she also cooperated when the slaves tried something on her.
When the weather got hot, she had nothing to do, so she felt drowsy.
Until Yuanxiao said something.
"Master, let me tell you what I have been looking into these days."
"Well, you say." Shen Chuliu lay on the chaise longue, fanning herself, looking incredibly leisurely.
"Yes, it was Lady Li. I recently heard from the kitchen that Lady Li's taste has changed. She actually likes some exotic foods. And she eats a lot. I was curious, so I asked more. It was said that Lady Li now eats midnight snacks, but she didn't eat much before."
"Hmm? Anything else?" Shen Chuliu became excited.
"Also, I took the liberty to spend some money to inquire about the laundry department. Although Lady Li has been on leave for the past few months, she has registered with the personnel department, but... the clothes I saw in the laundry department are not that dirty."
Shen Chuliu raised an eyebrow: "Okay, how much silver did you spend? I'll give you three times as much."
Yuanxiao thanked him hurriedly and said a number embarrassedly.
Shen Chuliu laughed heartily: "You did a good job. You should be more careful in the future. You can ask about things, but don't let others know."
"Oh." Yuanxiao happily went to receive the reward.
The master must need what he found out.
Shen Chuliu laughed very happily, which made Zirui and Zizhu laugh so hard.
It is impossible that the master Yuanxiao does not understand what he means. How can this be laughed at?
"Master, this beautiful lady might be pregnant." Zizhu said.
"Well, now that I have it, what else can I do?" Shen Chuliu was thinking about something else: "How can I get someone to expose this matter on the Emperor's birthday?"
"Master!" Zizhu couldn't understand: "If there really is one, then it would be revealed at that time..."
"The Emperor was excited for a moment and promoted her? What's the big deal?" Shen Chuliu laughed: "I just wanted to promote her."
"But... Master, I don't understand." Zi Rui had given up thinking.
"With her status, she will be promoted sooner or later. If she is going to be promoted, why not let her be the center of attention?" What's wrong with attracting some hatred? "Will you be at a disadvantage then?" Zizhu continued to ask.
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "How could that be? At that time, I was in an advantageous position."
"Don't be afraid of others giving birth and promotion. If you have the ability to control all the children, it's fine to have only one child yourself. If not, just hope to have as many children as possible." Besides, is being in a high position necessarily safe? A beauty is nothing, but what about a concubine who becomes pregnant after being promoted? Or, is she directly one of the nine concubines?
"Yes. So, master, what are your plans?" Zizhu asked with a sigh.
Shen Chuliu also sighed: "I just don't know what to do."
"Then... Master, have you ever thought about saying it yourself?" Zizhu suddenly asked.
Shen Chuliu blinked, blinked again, and suddenly smiled: "It's not impossible."
"However, this needs to be confirmed, otherwise it would be bad if something goes wrong." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, I will check again. Once it is confirmed, you can tell me yourself?" Zizhu asked.
"I said to myself, there's nothing wrong with it." Isn't it just standing up for yourself?
No matter how prominent she is, she is not the one who gets to be in the limelight.
In the eyes of the emperor, she is definitely not a fool.
So why did she, who was not a fool, come out and say such a thing? In the eyes of the emperor, it was just a trap for the beautiful lady.
That's a trap. The emperor won't believe that there are pure and innocent people in the harem who are untainted by the mud, right?
Well, it's nothing to stand out occasionally.
Besides, other people may not understand.
Soon, Yuanxiao, Zizhu and Zhemei took action together, especially Zhemei. After all, she had been in the palace for many years, so she was able to confirm quickly that Concubine Li was indeed pregnant, and was definitely pregnant for two months.
After Shen Chuliu understood, he just waited for time.
On the wedding day, Shen Chuliu changed into a red skirt early in the morning, and covered it with an extremely thin brocade dress.
She had her hair in a snake-like bun and wore jewelry made of red gold inlaid with golden cat's eyes, with tassels hanging down to her ears.
She also had a pair of golden cat's eye earrings on her ears, which sparkled as she walked.
Her eyebrows and eyes were drawn into lively cat eyes. She had almond eyes, so they were easy to draw.
The eyebrows are curved, slightly raised and elongated, which looks both smart and dangerous.
There is a small, round red dot under the left eye, just like a cinnabar mole.
Paired with a necklace made of red gold inlaid with rubies, it complements the beauty perfectly.
Everyone greeted them, and Qi Yixiu and the Queen waved their hands and asked everyone to sit down.
The two Empress Dowagers sat at the top, and the royal family members also came. All the officials above the third rank in the court, as well as the idle people with noble titles, came.
The women were also dressed up.
The dressing styles of the ladies in the palace served as models for the nobles, and the nobles in turn led the people.
Therefore, whenever there were such banquets, the wives of court officials and nobles would have to learn how to dress like the favored masters and ladies in the palace.
Concubine Feng was wearing an orange-red jacket and skirt today, with her hair in a high bun and a set of red-gold Butterfly Love Flower jewelry.
Concubine Kangde also wore an orange-red jacket and skirt, but the pattern and style were different.
Her hair was in a round bun and she wore red gold and pearl jewelry.
Concubine Yi always dressed simply. Today, she wore a crescent-shaped white jacket with a rosy skirt, her hair was tilted to one side, and she wore white jade jewelry.
Everyone below was dressed up carefully.
Lady Li was also extremely formal today, wearing a magenta skirt and a large bun decorated with red gold and colored glaze.
When Shen Chuliu looked over, he found that she had gained some weight and her complexion was much rosier than before.
Qi Yixiu also glanced over and inevitably turned his gaze to Shen Chuliu again.
This woman always manages to dress so exquisitely and appropriately.
The red cinnabar mole that she had painted was just right, adding a touch of nobility and inviolability.
Qi Yixiu moved his fingers and thought to himself, this woman is really...
At the beginning of the banquet, the musicians kept in the palace played a song to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
Then the Emperor, the Empress and the Empress Dowagers spoke and drank.
The princes in the royal family also congratulated and toasted.
As well as ministers and concubines.
And the Second Prince also toasted in a baby voice today.
Qi Yixiu rewarded him with great satisfaction.
When the song and dance began, they were all bright red with long sleeves.
This group of dancers only entered the palace this year, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs spent a lot of money to train them.
Her dance moves were indeed graceful.
Finally, the dancer presented a big birthday peach.
Everyone thought the dance was beautiful.
Finally, the time to talk came. Someone from the royal family mentioned Concubine Yi's pregnancy, and naturally there was another round of congratulations.
After they finished speaking, Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I have something happy to tell you."
