Chapter 159: Big Frame
Upon inquiry, she found out that she had slept for more than an hour. The emperor had already started working.
Then he went to the imperial study and received a cold stare from the emperor. Then he continued to serve.
Most people were waiting for the emperor to punish Concubine Jing, even if the punishment was light.
But what happened next was that the emperor asked Jing Meiren to serve him with writing materials, and she had to serve him for a whole day and a night.
Of course, Shen Chuliu was really "punished" at night and was made to cry.
But if she were to tell this to anyone, the women in the harem would hate her to death.
Shen Chuliu was made angry again, and the emperor coaxed her patiently this time. However, he was more tired this time and fell asleep first.
Shen Chuliu turned over with a grin, cursing this dog emperor in his heart.
The Dog Emperor doesn't have any violent tendencies or perverted tricks, he's just too fierce sometimes.
He clearly had the appearance of a handsome young man, how could he transform after he went to bed? This is unscientific! With this suspicion, Shen Chuliu gradually fell asleep.
The next day, Fengzao Palace paid its respects.
Shen Chuliu was wearing the floral white skirt and light blood-red cape that Zi Rui had sent her early in the morning.
With the red gold hairpin, it is not very plain, but compared with usual, it is still much plainer.
After getting dressed, she went to Fengzao Palace. The emperor had gone to court, so she had to go back to have breakfast.
She arrived at Fengzao Palace not too early, but not too late either.
When the concubines in the palace saw her, they all smiled subtly.
Shen Chuliu should pay his respects when he should, and accept the greetings when he should, and he felt at ease.
Until Li Jieyu arrived: "Hey, Lady Jing is so plain today? This is not like you."
"Li Jie Yu'an." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you wear."
"Really? I thought it was because that old Princess Shun said something to you that you didn't dare to dress up." Li Jieyu laughed.
"I don't dress up for her to see, and I don't dress up for her to see either. It's none of my business. I'm just afraid that Li Jieyu will think that I can only be gorgeous, and that I won't look good in plain clothes. So I deliberately wear this kind of clothes for you to see." There was a hint of joking in Shen Chuliu's words.
Li Jieyu naturally knew when to stop.
She saw clearly what happened the day before, and to be honest, if it were her turn, she might not have done any better.
The emperor was not angry at all, which shows the status of Shen in his heart.
So why bother to make the fight ugly?
Soon, everyone arrived and the queen came out.
"Empress Kangde, how is the third prince?" asked the Queen.
The third prince has a cough problem and he has it again this winter.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's nothing serious. The imperial physician said that he has this problem and it's not a big deal. Every winter when the weather is dry, he will cough for a few days. It will get better as time goes by." Concubine Kangde said.
Shen Chuliu glanced at Miao Xiaoyi inadvertently, and found that although her face remained expressionless, her hands were still clenched.
After all, it's my own child, it's impossible not to care about him at all.
It would be fine if it wasn't there, but I can clearly hear it, and sometimes I can see it when the weather is fine, but I can't recognize it.
"That's good." The Queen nodded: "You have also made contributions. Although the Third Prince is also going to be sick, he has been very strong in the past year."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I should do." Concubine Kangde said.
"Speaking of which, Concubine Li should be giving birth at the end of February. It would be great if it's a son." Concubine Feng said.
Li Jieyu touched her belly and said, "This is not up to me, but a prince is good, and a princess is good. There is nothing wrong with giving birth to a little princess."
These words were naturally meant to flatter the queen.
"It's the same as that. If you are a prince, you can be promoted. If you are promoted further, you will be one of the nine concubines, and people can call you Her Majesty when you go out." Concubine Jin said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter whether you call her Your Majesty or not. No one in the palace, except the Empress, can be determined by calling her Your Majesty or not?" Li Jieyu smiled and asked back, "What do you think, Concubine Jin?"
She emphasized the word "Empress".
Everyone could hear the sarcasm.
But Concubine Jin couldn't be angry. If she got angry, wouldn't it prove that Concubine Li was right?
So she turned the gun around and asked, "Why does Miss Jing look so bad today? Have you been blaming yourself for not sleeping well these past few days?"
Shen Chuliu glanced at her and said, "I was tired from serving you last night."
It's just asking for trouble.
Concubine Jin was choked again, but she brought this upon herself.
"Hmph, who hasn't slept with the emperor before? Only you don't know the rules?" Concubine Jin tried to save face.
"I'm sitting still. It was Concubine Jin who asked me. Naturally, I have to tell her. But I'm wrong to tell her." Shen Chuliu sighed, "It's really hard to serve you, Concubine Jin."
"Empress Jin is always so unhappy every day. She has to find some fun." Li Jieyu said with a smile.
"Okay. There's nothing to do today, so let's go. Those of you who have children should take good care of them." The queen waved her hand.
Everyone stood up and left one by one.
Soon after leaving Fengzao Palace, the eunuchs from Changle Palace caught up with Su Yunu and said, "Hello, Yunu. Our queen wants to see you."
Su Yunu nodded and followed him to Changle Palace.
Outside the main hall of Changle Palace, Su Yu was waiting.
The north wind is biting and the weather started to change since midnight yesterday. It looks like it's going to snow again.
She and Cong Meng stood there, not urging anyone, and of course they had no right to urge anyone.
Just blown by the north wind.
Cong Meng gritted his teeth, hating the concubine in his heart. But there was nothing he could do.
Su Yunu was also very cold, but she didn't take it seriously and just let her thoughts drift away.
The same year her house was raided, she was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In fact, this was the result of the mediation of a good friend of her father. That person was also implicated and his whole family moved to another place to take up a post.
Before leaving, he asked someone to send her twenty taels of silver and a letter.
The letter said that she could only be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and eventually to the Imperial Palace. After all, she was a palace maid and just had to do some work, so she wouldn't fall too far.
She didn't understand at that time, so how could she bear it?
But a few years later, she heard that her father's concubines, and the daughters born to them... had all become prostitutes.
Or the lowest kind, trampled upon by people.
Only then did she understand what it meant to be unbearable.
The twenty taels of silver supported her through several cold winters. She often experienced such cold weather at that time. She could not get good food and had no food to eat.
So what does today’s cold weather mean?
Finally, I heard the palace door behind me open, and Hua Shan came out: "Please come in, Miss Su."
After painting the fan, he didn't become better, and now seemed even more mean.
No one explained to Su Yunv why Concubine Yi locked them, master and servant, outside for an hour.
They had obviously just returned from the Queen.
Su Yu Nu didn't ask either.
"Su Yu-nu has been acting very arrogant lately." Hua Shan snorted.
"Okay, Sister Huashan, call me master." Fuxiang said.
Hua Shan snorted before leaving.
Not long after, Concubine Yi came out and looked at Su Yunu, who was blushing: "Please sit down."
That's cold, and if you suddenly enter a hot place, your face will turn red.
