Chapter 136: Bad Rules
On the morning of the 16th, as soon as Shen Chuliu came out of the Queen's Palace, the Emperor summoned her to the Taiji Palace.
The Emperor had an early court session today, so even though he stayed at the Queen's place, he left very early.
After Shen Chuliu found out that he was going to accompany the emperor, he followed without saying anything.
In the Taiji Palace, the emperor smiled when he saw her and said, "Come."
After Shen Chuliu paid his respects, he walked over and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have many memorials to submit today?"
"It's unnecessary for me to ask this question. It should happen every day." She said without waiting for the emperor to answer.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "I got up late today. I drank too much yesterday, so I was in a hurry to pay my respects. Your Majesty, will you give me some snacks?"
Shen Chuliu knew what was going on. The emperor was so anxious, but he still asked this. What did that mean? It meant that the emperor didn't eat.
Why don't we find a chance to drink together? "What's the point of snacks? It's the fourth day of the New Year, serve the meal." Qi Yixiu looked at her: "How much did you drink yesterday? Is it too much?"
He didn't believe that.
"It wasn't much at first. After I went back, I drank another jar of osmanthus wine." This jar weighed half a pound.
Although the alcohol content is low, you will still get drunk if you drink too much.
"My beloved concubine has a really good alcohol tolerance." Qi Yixiu didn't know what to say.
"Actually, it's not much. The main reason is that I drank three kinds of wine yesterday. The fruit wine at the banquet, the Chang'an wine bestowed by the emperor, and the osmanthus wine when I went back." Shen Chuliu said.
The royal family usually uses Xinfeng wine, Chang'an wine, Qingquan wine, Yuquan wine, etc.
"That's true, my dear, do you like drinking?" Qi Yixiu asked again.
The young concubine's words had a lot of logic and she wasn't just telling him that she felt uncomfortable because she drank too much.
"It depends on the time. Last night was just right so I drank a little. I don't usually drink."
As they were talking, the meal was served. Shen Chuliu served soup to the emperor and ate the buns himself.
The breakfast was not that big, but it was also very rich.
Shen Chuliu indeed didn't eat. When she got up, she had a poor appetite and just ate a few snacks to get by.
Naturally I'm hungry now.
The emperor was very satisfied to see that she was eating so happily and did not seem to be pretending not to eat just to have the food with him.
After eating and drinking, the emperor didn't want to take care of government affairs for a while.
He was a very self-disciplined emperor, so even if he didn't want to take care of it for a while, he knew what was going on, and there wouldn't be any backlog or trouble.
"Have you seen the new deer in the menagerie?" asked the emperor.
"No, I have never been to the zoo." It's too far and I'm too lazy to walk.
"Then I'll take you to see it." Qi Yixiu stood up and said, "Let's go, prepare a sedan chair for her, otherwise she will have no legs to walk over."
Shen Chuliu thanked the emperor with a smile, but she had no interest in going to see animals in the middle of summer.
Not only was it hot, it also didn't taste good. Besides, she didn't like the idea of locking up animals.
But the emperor has spoken, and we have no choice but to listen.
Sitting on the sedan chair, we quickly arrived at the zoo.
The menagerie is in the southwestern corner of the palace.
Someone had previously reported that the Emperor was coming to see the newly arrived deer, so naturally they did not dare to neglect it and hurried to clean them up again.
When Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu arrived, they saw a clean zoo.
Inside the fence, a few wild deer were grazing with their heads down, and they didn't look too sad.
Those were a few sika deer, they were really pretty and their fur color was nice too.
There are also several foxes, red-crowned cranes and white geese in the zoo.
There was even an elephant and a tiger, but the tiger didn't look as big as she remembered.
Shen Chuliu liked the white geese more. They looked like ordinary geese and were very fat.
It moves slowly when walking, but it rarely bites people.
She took the food from the servants and fed it to the goose, in return the goose tilted its head to look at her.
It is so amazing that such an animal with great lethality can be raised so well-behaved.
Shen Chuliu lost interest after feeding the geese, and Qi Yixiu probably took a few glances at the deer and thought it was just so-so.
"Next autumn, I will take you hunting." Qi Yixiu said.
"Okay, or Songshan?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Qingliang Mountain is also OK. We'll see next year." Qi Yixiu watched her feeding the geese and smiled, "My beloved concubine has unique tastes."
"I heard that ordinary people don't need to keep a dog to guard the house if they raise a big goose like this." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu naturally didn't believe it, and the emperor said he had never seen such a ferocious goose.
Shen Chuliu didn't explain, thinking that these geese would not peck people even if they were taught in childhood.
If the emperor were to encounter a goose that was chasing and pecking...
Well, that picture is so beautiful.
There was a little incident on the way back.
That is, when he passed by Shuyuxuan, he met Lu Xiaoyi. Lu Xiaoyi was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was obviously waiting for the emperor here.
As for how they knew that, they must have known it when they passed by just now.
Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu were both riding in the sedan chair, and Lu Xiaoyi greeted them in the middle of the road: "Your Majesty, I greet you, Sister Jing."
Qi Yixiu waved his hand to stop them, then looked down at the woman below: "Why are you waiting here? What's the matter?"
Lu Xiaoyi paused. What could possibly happen to her...
"Empress Song Zhaoyi has been feeling unwell these past few days..." She had a ready-made excuse.
"Is it serious? I didn't notice it when you greeted me this morning." Shen Chuliu asked.
"How dare Your Majesty not pay her respects?" Lu Xiaoyi said.
"Go and take a look." Qi Yixiu waved his hand, too lazy to expose Lu Xiaoyi's trick.
The imperial carriage turned around and went towards Shuyuxuan.
In Shuyuxuan, Song Zhaoyi was shocked to hear that the emperor was coming.
Since she started living here, the emperor had only come a few times. She knew that Lu Xiaoyi had gone out, but she didn't take it seriously. Now that the emperor came, she was really shocked.
Busy to greet.
Qi Yixiu helped her up and asked, "My beloved concubine, what's wrong with you? Have you called the imperial physician?"
Song Zhaoyi was a little confused...she was just having a stomachache due to the usual daily life.
"I'm fine, just feeling a little uncomfortable, it's not a big deal. There's no need to call the imperial physician, Your Majesty. Lady Jing, come in and have some tea." Song Zhaoyi said.
After entering, Shen Chuliu laughed: "After all, we live together. Lu Xiaoyi is so concerned that she is confused. She actually stopped the emperor in the street and said that Empress Song Zhaoyi was sick. I was so scared that I thought something was wrong with you."
Lu Xiaoyi is just intercepting.
It would be strange if Shen Chuliu could endure it.
Song Zhaoyi is an honest person, but no matter how honest she is, she will not allow Lu Xiaoyi to do anything wrong in her name.
His face immediately turned ugly.
Lu Xiaoyi was also embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "I was just nervous for a moment, and when I saw the imperial carriage..."
"It can be seen that Lu Xiaoyi has not learned the rules well." Qi Yixiu snorted: "Since you can't learn the rules, there is no need to be Xiaoyi. You don't have the manners. Just be Baolin."
Lu Xiaoyi... no, now it was Lu Baolin again, she knelt on the ground in shock: "I was in a hurry..."
"It's just a trivial matter for a woman. I feel a little uncomfortable. Why did you go to stop the emperor in the street? Besides, how would you know where I feel uncomfortable?" Song Zhaoyi spoke slowly and there was not much anger in her voice, but Shen Chuliu knew that she was definitely angry.
