Chapter 158: It’s hard to explain
She didn’t stand on Feng’s side, but now…it’s hard to explain.
She wanted to explain, but she didn't dare to. She felt like she was being scratched by a cat in her heart, and could only wait for an opportunity in the future.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Shen Chuliu wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, sister, for your help."
"No one can match my sister's charm." Su Yunu said from the bottom of her heart.
"What are you talking about? Go back first. We will have plenty of opportunities to talk later. Don't worry, sister. I will not forget what happened today." Shen Chuliu said.
Su Yu Nu smiled and said, "Okay, then sister, take your time."
After they separated, Zizhu and Jimei were both still in fear: "Master, there won't be any more trouble after this, right? The emperor... is he angry?"
"I'm angry for sure, but I still have to say what I need to say. If I were scared today, who would stand up for me?" Shen Chuliu said.
Zizhu bit her lip: "The master has been wronged."
"What's there to be wronged about? If I can handle it myself, there will be benefits in the future. If I don't fight back against this kind of temptation, there will be more in the future." Shen Chuliu sneered: "The Emperor and Empress Dowager Li may not be angry. If I act like a bun today, they will be even more angry."
Isn't it easier to get things done with her help?
It is good to know what your use is.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu changed into casual clothes and went to bed. He got up early in the morning and had nothing to do now, so he decided to go to bed.
When he was woken up at noon, Zizhu said, "After the Fengzao Palace was dispersed, everyone went back home. The emperor is at the queen's place. He will spend the day there."
"Well, let's serve the meal." Shen Chuliu said.
In the harem, the concubines each had their own thoughts after returning home.
Concubine Yi was a little tired after holding out for the whole morning, so she leaned back and asked, "Does the Emperor like her strength?"
She knew in her heart that in the same situation, she could not do what Jing Meiren did and argue with reason without fear of offending others. This was due to her family background and her own temper.
After all, Concubine Yi has been with the emperor for many years, so she knows that the emperor would like this, right? "This time, I'm afraid that Concubine Jing's bad reputation has spread." Fuxiang said, "However, this is to maintain the face of the royal family and the family, so it's not necessarily all derogatory."
"Whether to demote or not depends on the emperor. Although the emperor seemed angry, he just lightly brushed it off, which means he was not blaming her. Not blaming her means blaming the old Princess Shun. She was contradicted in public like this, and in the end she didn't even get a good word. Doesn't this mean that she did something wrong?" Chenxiang said.
"Yes, slandering Lady Jing is a small matter, but making the emperor lose face is a big matter. This time, Lady Ying is in a thankless position." Fuxiang said.
"You see it clearly. But if Concubine Ying really surrenders to Empress Dowager Feng, that's fine." Concubine Yi said.
"Your Majesty is right. Are you tired? Take a rest first. I will ask someone to bring the meal." Fuxiang said with a smile.
After leaving, Fuxiang shook her head slightly. It was really no one's fault that her master was in such a mess.
The Li family is at the peak of its prosperity. Only someone crazy would stand with the Feng family.
Even if Ying Cairen is willing, the Li family will not agree!
If we really stand together, the emperor won’t even want to have this baby!
For a moment, no one in the palace dared to say or do anything more.
Everything in Cuiyunxuan was the same as before.
On the tenth day, Qi Yixiuxuan and Shen Chuliu went to Taiji Palace.
In broad daylight, Shen Chuliu wore a rouge-colored skirt and a snow-white cape, and only used a glass hairpin and pearls to accessorize her lily bun.
It was a very simple trip to the Tai Chi Palace.
No makeup either.
But of course, she is at her best age, and she is beautiful with or without makeup.
"Your Majesty, are well." Shen Chuliu lowered his head.
"Come here, I asked you to reflect on yourself for two days. How is your reflection?" Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu walked over and said, "I have not reflected on it. I am not wrong."
"You still dare to say you're not wrong? Do you think it's reasonable to talk to your elders like that at a banquet?" Qi Yixiu glared and frowned.
"I shouldn't talk to my elders like that, but if I don't, the Emperor will think I'm a coward." Shen Chuliu bit her lip, "I did nothing wrong. As the Emperor's concubine, I have to protect my dignity and the Emperor's dignity. As the daughter of the Shen family, I have to protect the family's reputation. The Emperor, Empress, and Queen Mother cannot lower their status to argue with that person."
"You still have something to say?" Qi Yixiu's voice softened.
"I didn't. Your Majesty, please don't be so harsh. I'm afraid." Shen Chuliu looked very aggrieved.
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Are you afraid? I think you are the bravest person in this palace."
"Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about it. I am also very sad."
Qi Yixiu looked at her a few times, and she was not as beautiful as she was that day.
He had a vivid memory of that day.
She stood there in gorgeous clothes, with high eyebrows and angry eyes. The tears falling on her beautiful face were so alluring.
He has been thinking about that scene for the past two days.
The way she questioned Princess Shun again and again did look ferocious, but... she was also very charming.
He had the feeling that this woman should be bright and flamboyant.
She cannot bear being wronged, and if she is wronged she will fight back without giving in.
She was right. If she just accepted it, he wouldn't completely ignore her afterwards, but he would never have the same thoughts about her as he does now.
But the emperor does not allow anyone to guess what he is thinking.
There was no way he would admit it.
"You'll know your limits in the future! Let it go this time. I won't punish you because I think you've been wronged." Qi Yixiu said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are so kind." Shen Chuliu smiled.
Qi Yixiu pulled her into his arms and asked, "Why are you so plain today?"
"Thinking that the emperor is going to question me, I'm not in the mood..." Shen Chuliu pouted.
"What I gave you is wasted." Qi Yixiu snorted.
"I'm not dressed up today, but I'll dress up next time the emperor sees me. It's not for nothing." Shen Chuliu pulled his hand: "I'm not ugly like this. Isn't it good to see it like this for once?"
Qi Yixiu looked at her and found her to be pretty, but... he preferred her elaborate tricks.
"Okay, I called you here to take care of the pens and ink. Even if I don't punish you, you can't take it easy. You will take care of the pens and ink this morning and afternoon." Qi Yixiu pinched her face and said.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this good job." Shen Chuliu came down with a smile.
It’s a really good job. The emperor nowadays does not allow anyone else to serve in the imperial study.
She is the only one.
Serving writing materials is a simple task, today we just added serving tea.
It’s the same, not tiring.
When pouring tea for the emperor, she poured it for herself.
The morning passed easily.
After lunch, the emperor still needed to rest, and Shen Chuliu fell asleep quickly.
When she opened her eyes again, it was Lichun who was serving her. He said that the Emperor had asked Concubine Jing to go to the Imperial Study to serve her after she woke up.
Shen Chuliu: If you want to have a fight, just focus on one point and fight to the death.
