Chapter 146: Showing the True Skill
"When she was favored and no one in the whole palace could match her, naturally everything went smoothly. When you saw her doing things, you felt that she was just that capable. Now, her status is not as high as before, but her true ability has been revealed." Shen Chuliu shook her head.
"When she was in great favor, I looked up to her no matter how she punished me. At that time, I didn't dare to do that because of my family background. Now that it's like this, I have to protect her dignity as a second-rank concubine. Unfortunately, times have changed. Now that she only has her position, it's like she has nothing."
In particular, if the emperor sees things like this, he will only be more disappointed.
Bullying people who are not as good as you is despicable, but you can't even bully them...
Yes, Shen Chuliu did kneel for an hour, but does that count as breaking Concubine Yi’s left and right arms?
"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay, my beauty." Yao Baolin said with a smile, "I've never seen her lose her composure like this in all these years since I came to the palace from the mansion."
"She doesn't dare to be tough when she should be, and she is tough when she shouldn't be. She deserves to suffer." Shen Chuliu snorted.
"Tell the kitchen, I'm going to eat with Yao Baolin tonight, ask them to serve the hot pot. Those who come according to the rules will follow the rules, and the extra money will be given to them."
We can never be stingy with these places.
Ji Mei agreed and went to do it during the Lantern Festival.
Here, Zi Rui took Zi Zhu and Chi Su to soak their feet, but they refused. Zi Rui glared at them and said, "How can you serve the master when you are sick?"
The two of them had no choice but to agree and sit opposite each other to soak their feet.
"Master, since you protect me like this today, I will definitely go through fire and water for you in the future." Chi Su whispered to Zizhu with emotion.
"There's no need to go through fire and water. It's better for our master to live a peaceful life. We just need to be loyal. We can't be as shameless as Hua Shan. He wants to sell his good deeds, but then turns around and sells out his master." Zizhu looked down on him.
"Pah, pah, pah, who can compare with her, a brainless thing. Ever since Anxiang and Zhuli were not in Changle Palace, there has been chaos over there. Fuxiang is capable, but the others are not convinced." Chi Su smirked: "Just wait for them to make trouble."
"Master, someone came from Taiji Palace and said that the emperor called your name card last night. Come over for dinner." Yuanxiao came in and said to Shen Chuliu.
Yao Baolin was stunned: "Oh, this is a good thing. The emperor is coming to see you today. Tell them to hold it in."
"That's fine, let's just serve the pot as usual and eat it. Just serve some to Yao Baolin as well."
Shen Chuliu said.
"Then I'm very lucky. I'll go back first. You should dress up well." Yao Baolin said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu nodded and asked Zirui to take her out.
Yao Baolin returned to her room, and her maid Baochuan served her tea: "What's wrong with Baolin?"
"No, I'm just thinking about these things." Yao Baolin was puzzled: "You said... You have been with me for these years, and now I don't understand it even more. Lady Jing suppressed Concubine Yi so easily? Of course. I hope she is powerful and suppresses everyone in the palace. I just don't understand."
"I don't understand it either, but there is one thing, Lady Jing doesn't like to show weakness." Baochuan thought, "Do you remember why the emperor doted on Concubine Li in the first place?"
"Yes, when she was still in the palace, she was very courageous and never lost in arguments with others." Yao Baolin nodded: "Does the emperor like this kind of personality?"
"It's hard to say that he likes this kind of personality, but at least, the emperor doesn't like those who are too weak." Baochuan said, "Empress Yi used to be aloof and arrogant, but it's a pity that she is not like that now. In today's incident, it seemed that Concubine Yi punished Concubine Jing, but Concubine Jing slapped her in the face. It was Concubine Yi who was embarrassed. No matter what attitude the emperor has towards Concubine Jing when he comes here, his attitude towards the outside world is clear. Concubine Yi is really in trouble this time."
"After all, you see it clearly." Yao Baolin nodded and smiled.
Shen Chuliu washed her feet and got dressed, without bothering to change.
She was still wearing her usual beige skirt and had her hair combed into a loose bun.
Secure with a red gold hairpin.
She sat down and drew her eyebrows into gentle Qiu Niang eyebrows, and put a small black dot under her eyes with eyebrow pencil.
Her lips were dotted with pink rouge, making her look pure and innocent.
When she was almost dressed, Qi Yixiu also arrived.
It wasn't dark yet.
It can be seen that the emperor came early.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor live long and healthy lives." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu supported her: "How is your leg?"
"Why does the emperor poke people's wounds when he comes? How embarrassing." Shen Chuliu stomped her feet.
"...Are you so concerned about your reputation?" Qi Yixiu was speechless.
I thought about her complaining. I thought about her pretending that nothing happened, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't mention it because she was afraid of being embarrassed.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Shen Chuliu’s face turned red.
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it." Qi Yixiu squeezed her hand and said, "Since you are not allowed to mention it, why don't you serve me some tea?"
Shen Chuliu then glared at the emperor in reproach and asked someone to serve tea.
"What has my beloved concubine done these days?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Nothing much, just reading some books and playing some games. The weather is dry, so it's inevitable to get irritated. I took out the chrysanthemum tea given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today. I thought now is the time to appreciate the chrysanthemums, so I went to appreciate them. Let's go again tomorrow, we didn't have enough fun today." Shen Chuliu said.
"I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you some chrysanthemums and place them here for you to see." Qi Yixiu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I want Mo Ju." Shen Chuliu blinked at the emperor.
"Well, I'll have someone find it for you later." Qi Yixiu tapped her nose: "You really know how to treasure it."
"Everything the emperor gives is good, and I want the best." Shen Chuliu leaned into Qi Yixiu's arms: "Doesn't the emperor want to give me the best?"
"Greedy." Qi Yixiu pinched her face.
Shen Chuliu smiled but didn't respond.
Soon it was time for the meal. When the meal was served, Qi Yixiu didn't look dissatisfied.
Shen Chuliu didn't ask the emperor whether he liked it or not, just let's eat it today. She wanted to eat.
The atmosphere in Cuiyunxuan is very good.
After going to bed at night, Qi Yixiu still looked at Shen Chuliu's obviously swollen knees, and asked Chusi to get the ointment and apply it on her personally.
"I have fair skin, so naturally I look scary. I'll have bruises tomorrow. It will be fine after some time." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"You don't need to pay your respects tomorrow." Qi Yixiu said.
"Your Majesty, no, I want to go." Shen Chuliu hugged Qi Yixiu's waist and acted coquettishly.
It's all on the couch, so she doesn't need to be picky.
"Going to see a play again? Won't there be a play when you go tomorrow?" Qi Yixiu didn't push her away.
"No, tomorrow we will go to thank the Empress. The Empress made the decision for me today." Shen Chuliu raised her head and blinked: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about these. I came to you for help when I couldn't bear it anymore."
This was the first time that Qi Yixiu listened to the emperor's words "don't worry about it".
If you have won the prize but haven’t come to find me yet, please hurry up.
