Chapter 133
As they were talking, the steward came up and said that the flowers were about to bloom.
Qi Yixiu stood up, and Shen Chuliu and Su Yunv followed him.
I saw a dozen night-blooming cereus flowers about to bloom on the ground. The moonlight was like water, and there was an indescribable beauty to it.
No wonder the ancients said that the blooming of Epiphyllum is like the arrival of a fairy, it is indeed beautiful.
Soon, the night-blooming cereus flowers bloomed one by one, as white as snow, illuminated by the floor lights, truly stunning.
"This is the first time I've seen this Epiphyllum. It's really beautiful." Su Yu Nu said.
Shen Chuliu didn't say anything, she had seen it before.
Although Epiphyllum is precious, it is not only allowed to be grown by the royal family, so the Shen family also has it.
At that time, she also prepared tea and snacks and looked at the flowers very patiently.
From the buds about to bloom to the flowers withering, she felt neither sad nor happy during the two hours.
"I remember that there are also Epiphyllums planted in pots in the flower and plant room?" Qi Yixiu asked.
On the fourth day of the fourth month, he hurriedly responded and said yes.
"Send two pots to Lady Jing and ask her to take a look at them." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu tilted his head and thanked the emperor.
After a while, Shen Chuliu said, "I will take my leave first."
"Huh? You're not going to watch it anymore?" Qi Yixiu was surprised.
"Look, the flower is about to wither. Wouldn't it be better if I pretend that I don't know it is withering?" Shen Chuliu said.
The emperor shook his head: "Forget it, you are always the most reasonable. If this is the case, I will leave too."
After all, Su Yunv was going to sleep with the emperor tonight, so it was difficult for the emperor to abandon her, so they had to go their separate ways.
On the way back to Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu asked, "My beloved, what do you think of Epiphyllum?"
Su Yunu smiled and said, "She is very beautiful, but Sister Jing is really more beautiful than flowers."
"You really want to praise her, but she was just lazy today and didn't dress up properly." Qi Yixiu said.
"Sister, you are so beautiful even without dressing up. If you dress up seriously, I won't be able to see people." Su Yu Nu said.
"How could that be? My beloved is also very beautiful. Let's go." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu started to doze off as soon as he returned to Cuiyunxuan. He usually went to bed quite late, so it was quite late now.
I got on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, when paying respects, Concubine Li asked, "I heard that Lady Jing went to appreciate the flowers last night and met the emperor again?"
The use of the word "again" is very intriguing.
I have said it before, all the coincidences in this palace are deliberate in the eyes of others.
"What Concubine Li said is true. I really met the emperor again." She didn't intend to explain. There was no need to talk about such an unclear thing.
"That Lady Jing is very lucky, but now that we've met, why did she return to Cuiyunxuan?" Li Jieyu glanced at Su Yunv.
"I wasn't the one serving the emperor yesterday, so where else could I go if I didn't go back?" Shen Chuliu laughed, "Why does Concubine Li want me to intercept Su Yunu? Even though I'm useless, I can't bully people of lower status, right?"
"Can't be bullied or...can't?" Li Jieyu covered her lips with a handkerchief.
"Who knows? Only you know it yourself." Shen Chuliu smiled faintly: "But the night-blooming cereus is blooming very beautifully, so it was not in vain to see it."
"Now that Su Yu-nu has left Changle Palace, she seems to be doing well." Concubine Jin said with a smile.
We just got divorced yesterday, and you're fine today? Su Yunv smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Concubine Jin felt like she was punching cotton, very powerless.
"Concubine Li is pregnant now, and her temper has worsened." Concubine Feng said.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have always been like this." Concubine Li did not take it seriously.
"By the way, has Concubine Li found a mother for the child in your belly? The only one who can raise a child but doesn't have one yet is Concubine Yi." Concubine Feng said with a smile again.
"Empress Feng's reminder is very correct. How about I tell the Emperor and the Empress later and ask you to take care of it?" Concubine Li smiled sweetly.
I hate Concubine Feng Shufei in my heart. Is she saying this on purpose? Is she hoping that something bad will happen to her unstable fetus?
He is truly despicable.
"Lady Li is really humble. When you give birth to a child, you will naturally raise the child yourself." Concubine Li said with a smile.
"Then I'll count on your good wishes, sister." Li Jieyu said.
Concubine Feng snorted coldly: "You have the opportunity to raise a child yourself, but it's a pity that you don't have that luck."
This is said by Concubine Li.
"Okay, let's not talk about some unlucky topics." said the queen.
Concubine Feng Shu said insincerely, "Yes, I will remember it."
Concubine Li held the handkerchief in her hand and said nothing.
Yes, I am unlucky. If only I could be well...
That child is the fourth prince.
"The baby in Concubine Li's belly is a blessed child. He will surely be born safely." Concubine Kang De said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is right. This lucky child will definitely be fine." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Li Jieyu glared at Shen Chuliu, and then had to thank Concubine Kang De.
Time passed through the hot July and entered August.
Although August in the imperial city is not much cooler, it is better than July after all.
Shen Chuliu was sitting on the swing in Cuiyunxuan and eating an ice bowl. The swing was made by someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs some time ago.
When the emperor came, he laughed at her for still being childish, and she just smiled.
"Master, I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not sent anything to Chen Baolin and Feng Yunv yet. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and I guess anything sent today won't be a good thing." Yuanxiao said.
"Oh, this group of people are just like that, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Right now in this palace, Chen Baolin and Feng Yunv are the ones who are left unattended. But isn't Feng Yunv following Concubine Jin?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
"The master doesn't even know Concubine Jin. She can't even take care of herself." Yuanxiao thought that the Concubine talked a lot but was not a powerful person.
He couldn't even take good care of himself in the palace, let alone Feng Yu's daughter.
"This Feng Yu girl is also unlucky. Follow her." Zizhu said.
"Then there is no choice, right?" Shen Chuliu shook her head. "Forget about Feng Yu's daughter. She is a bastard of the Feng family and is not valued. Chen Baolin is really in a pitiful situation."
Who says it isn’t? “I heard that Changle Palace is preparing for it. I’m afraid it will be on stage tomorrow.” Zizhu said.
"Isn't she finished her confinement period yet? Is she going to come out soon?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"She can't wait any longer." Zizhu said, "Although the emperor has often sent people to visit her these days, she herself has not gone. She used to be the most favored Concubine Yi, but now she is about to be replaced."
To be precise, it was divided up.
Now that Concubine Yi can no longer serve the emperor in the palace, the concubines in the palace are Concubine Li, Concubine Ning, Lady Jing, and Lady Su.
And because Concubine Li was not suitable to serve in the emperor's bedchamber, Concubine Ning, Concubine Jing and Su Yunv divided the world into three parts.
Wen Xiaoyi and Ying Xiaoyi only get a share of the pie occasionally.
"Why bother?" Shen Chuliu shook her head: "I heard that her body was badly injured."
