Chapter 128
The emperor went to visit Prince Jing, and the female relatives hurriedly invited Shen Chuliu into the backyard.
Shen Chuliu is not arrogant.
Everyone knew that this was Concubine Jing in the palace. Although she was only of the fifth rank, she was still the emperor's favorite woman.
Being able to bring it out says it all.
What's more, this is the daughter of the Shen family.
Prince Jing's old wife had passed away long ago, and the Crown Prince's wife had also passed away long ago.
The one who came to entertain us now was the eldest grandson’s wife.
Shen Chuliu said: "I am just following the emperor here, you don't have to be polite. I have already treated you very well."
This is the difference between the emperor and his subjects. Even though she is just a little beauty, outside, as long as she is the emperor's woman, she will be treated like this.
It only took Qi Yixiu a short while, less than half an hour, for him to send someone to call Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu said goodbye to everyone and went to the front yard.
After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, Qi Yixiu sat in the car, fanning himself for a while without saying anything.
He was thinking about what King Jing said.
The situation in the court seems to be very good now, but there are always hidden dangers.
The old prince was indeed a man of great honor throughout his life. If he were an ordinary person, he would not be able to bear the emperor's farewell.
The Feng family is now taking themselves more and more seriously.
Empress Dowager Feng...
Qi Yixiu rubbed his fingers gently, thinking that his stepmother had been very kind to them and their son.
At that time, Concubine Yang was very powerful, and the emperor's father ignored them and their son.
In the harem, everyone has their own thoughts. If it weren't for Queen Feng, it would have been much harder for them, mother and son.
But Feng would help them, also for herself.
At that time, Feng's own position as queen was also in jeopardy. If it weren't for Yang's poor background, she would have been unable to keep her position.
After the death of Prince Hua, his father had no choice but to be made the crown prince.
He was also thinking about supporting his stepmother.
After ascending the throne, Qi Yixiu actually did not intend to do anything to Feng.
But Feng refused to be satisfied and even killed the eldest prince.
But filial piety comes first, and everyone knows that Feng has done a lot for them mother and son.
He couldn't be ruthless.
Qi Yixiu let out a long sigh. Whatever, Feng Shi was nothing after all. He didn't mind using it for a few years to see if there were still those who were stubborn. He could just kill them all.
"What are you thinking about, my beloved?" Qi Yixiu came back to his senses and saw Shen Chuliu looking at him with her chin supported.
"I was thinking that the emperor must be thinking about national affairs." Shen Chuliu smiled.
"I'll take my beloved concubine to have tea." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu nodded and said yes.
They said they were going to have tea, but even though he deliberately asked half of the people to disperse, there were still quite a few people following Qi Yixiu.
Whenever you see him in any teahouse, you will know that he is a nobleman.
What's more, with the looks of Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu, even if they are not dressed too fancy, they are still eye-catching.
They chose the largest teahouse in the imperial city and sat upstairs.
The waiter was considered to be worldly-wise and was busy serving.
He served the best tea in the store and specially boiled water fetched from the mountains that morning.
This water is prepared for the noble person. Even if it is not worthy of the noble person, I have tried my best.
"No need to rush, just tell me if there is anything new happening in the imperial city recently. If you tell me well, all the silver will be yours." Qi Yixiu glanced at Chusi.
On the fourth day of the New Year, he took out ten taels of silver and put it down.
The waiter knew what was going on. He thought that this person probably wanted to hear some strange news. So he smiled and told Shen Chuliu about the recent events in the imperial city. There were many interesting stories about ordinary people, which Shen Chuliu found interesting.
After finishing his speech, Chu Si took out another ten taels and said, "Don't just talk about these trivial matters, talk about the big things too."
The waiter understood more clearly. Could this be a big shot who was investigating a case incognito? He thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing special. Some time ago, the old lady of the Feng family celebrated her 60th birthday. It was a big event. It was said that every beggar who passed by the gate of the mansion on that day was rewarded with one or two taels of silver. It was said that it was to accumulate blessings for the old lady. On that day, many people pretended to be beggars to receive the reward. From morning to night, I'm afraid that the silver alone was several thousand taels."
"It is said that the gifts given by various families are quite generous. There was also a high-ranking official in the south who gave a South China Sea Blood Pearl, which is said to be very valuable."
"Oh? The Feng family is so powerful?" Qi Yixiu still smiled.
When he doesn't want others to see his emotions, you can just think of him as a rich young man with a good personality.
The waiter saw it this way: "Young Master, don't you know? The Feng family! Empress Dowager Feng is the current legitimate mother. Without her, there would be no emperor and Empress Dowager Li. And it is said that Empress Dowager Li is also serving tea and water every day and respects her very much."
"Really? I didn't know about this. There is such a thing?" Qi Yixiu smiled even more kindly.
"Well, that's true. Filial piety is important in this world. This legitimate mother is so noble. Isn't it because of gratitude to the Feng family that the legitimate daughter of the Feng family was taken as the concubine? If the late emperor had not arranged for the marriage of Princess Chaoguo to be the queen, the legitimate daughter of the Feng family should have been the queen."
The waiter said mysteriously: "However, I heard that the future crown prince must be born by Concubine Feng."
"You know a lot. This is a secret." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Madam, please don't disbelieve it. If this is not true, why did so many people send gifts to the old lady of the Feng family on her birthday? Her family is a Duke's Mansion, it must be true."
"Then why did I hear that the most favored empress in the palace is Concubine Yi?" Shen Chuliu looked curious.
"Hey, Madam, this is what you don't understand." The waiter said with a smile: "Although Concubine Yi is favored, she has no foundation after all. I heard that in this palace, the Empress has to give way to Concubine Shu. The Feng family is lucky after all."
"Now that you mention it, it's true." Shen Chuliu nodded, agreeing.
Qi Yixiu glanced at her.
Shen Chuliu just drank tea and didn't say anything.
"Take the silver. I am quite satisfied with what you said." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
The waiter thanked them and left.
The waiter has seen a lot of people, and this one is of high status.
At this age, who is it?
Who cares who he is! Isn't the Feng family powerful? He didn't lie, did he?
Bah, Qing, just wait for bad luck!
The waiter went to work happily.
“Those who don’t know about the royal family’s affairs will really think about it.” Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Qi Yixiu raised his eyebrows: "My beloved, do you think this is a fantasy?"
"My memory is not very good, so Your Majesty please don't make things difficult for me." Shen Chuliu thought to herself, she was also unlucky, why did she listen to what the Feng family said?
As a waiter, why would you say something like this?
"My beloved, do you want to go home and have a look?" Qi Yixiu changed the subject.
"This is against the rules. I'd better stay with the emperor." Shen Chuliu was not tempted.
"My beloved concubine is so sensible?" Qi Yixiu stretched out his hand and pinched her face: "In this case, I will take my beloved concubine to eat some delicious food."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu smiled sweetly.
