Chapter 164 Step on Her
To put it bluntly, Concubine Yi did not do anything bad, but her favor in the past overwhelmed the entire palace. Isn't that an original sin?
So even though nothing has been done, everyone wants to take a step on it now.
Ning Jieyu obviously has the same temperament, but people always say that she is imitating Yi Fei. But in fact, Ning Jieyu is truly noble. How can she not annoy Yi Fei?
You couldn't afford to offend her in the past, but why don't you step on her now?
Concubine Feng has a high status, but she has not been favored as much as Concubine Yi for many years. How can she not hate her?
Needless to say, Concubine Jin has always been humble, but now she is proud of herself. Why doesn't she go back?
Concubine Yi was not a talkative person to begin with. Now it seemed that everyone was targeting her, so how could she have anything to say? She was so angry that her face turned red and white.
"Okay, that's enough for today." The queen had seen enough and stood up.
Everyone stood up, and Concubine Yi even swayed a few times, supported by her painted fan.
Everyone took their leave and left Fengzao Palace. Concubine Yi looked at everyone with anger, but she was still speechless. She could only hold on to the hand holding the painted fan and was about to go to the carriage.
"Empress Yi, you don't have any manners to follow now? Is it that I and Concubine De are not worthy of your bowing?" Concubine Feng said indifferently.
Concubine Kangde held the maid's hand and just stood there, with no intention of helping Concubine Yi to rescue her.
Who wouldn't want to see Concubine Yi make a fool of herself?
People are like this. In the past, when Concubine Yi was high and mighty, everyone had to smile at her.
Now that she is down and out, she won't be like this anymore.
We must also take back all the smiling faces from the past.
Even though Concubine Yi was very angry, rules are rules.
So she turned around and said, "I'll take my leave."
Concubine Kangde smiled and said, "Look at Concubine Yi's face, why is it so ugly? Go back quickly."
She had had enough of the joke, so she asked Concubine Yi to go back.
Concubine Feng snorted coldly: "Pretending."
Concubine Yi no longer had the energy to speak, so she got on the sedan chair and followed behind. Fortunately, they did not have to go the same way, and soon they separated.
Finally, there was no one else on the palace road, and Concubine Yi couldn't help but cough.
A heart-wrenching cough.
"Master, are you okay? Let's go quickly and call the imperial physician." Huashan said anxiously.
"Don't shout!" Yi Fei panted, "Go back."
What did she want to say by calling the imperial physician? Wouldn't it make people talk about her more? On the other side, after Shen Chuliu and Yao Baolin returned, Yao Baolin said, "She is really... just stop talking, but she still wants to talk."
"It's fair to say that there are many people who hate her. What do we count for?" Shen Chuliu said.
Yao Baolin laughed: "Who said it wasn't?"
If one wants to stay in the palace without being bullied, he must have an heir.
Otherwise, the favor will always change. How can you support it without children?
Look at Concubine Kangde today. In the past, she was just Concubine Liu who was out of favor and had lost her son.
Concubine Yi fell ill that day, and although she did not call the imperial physician, she was unable to get up the next day.
The New Year was approaching, and on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the court was held. That is, Concubine Zhao slept with the emperor once, and Concubine Jing slept with the emperor once.
However, after the court was restored, on the night of the 27th day, the emperor went to Concubine Zhao again.
This is something that we cannot help but pay attention to.
Lady Zhao is really trying to make the iron tree bloom.
Shen Chuliu didn't pay much attention to it, she was waiting for the New Year.
There is no 30th this year, the 29th is New Year's Eve. Before the New Year, the Shen family sent in 5,000 taels of silver.
Although it seems that her family subsidizes her every year, in fact, with her as a favored master, the family naturally has more than just a little income.
Everywhere is good, whether it is five thousand taels or eight thousand taels, it is not much.
During the new year, Shen Chuliu naturally had to take care of things everywhere.
But in fact, she had a lot of silver in her hands, not only the money her family gave her every year, but also the money she brought when she entered the palace.
And the twenty thousand taels that the Pei family sent a few days ago.
In addition, there are the rewards from the emperor and her share of silver, so she will definitely not be short of money now.
The Pei family is not in the capital, but far away in Jizhou.
After marrying their eldest daughter to the Shen family, the Pei family moved to Jizhou to take up their new posts, and they were away for twenty years.
Pei's ancestors were merchants, but they were already scholars a hundred years ago, and later served as officials, so the family was quite wealthy.
This is also the reason why Pei came into the family with a lot of dowry.
In the past, when Shen Chuliu was at home, she would also receive letters from her maternal grandfather or uncle. Knowing that she had no worries about food and clothing, she felt at ease.
Although she had never met him before, she knew from the words he wrote that he was not completely indifferent to her.
So on the eve of entering the palace, he asked someone to send her 12,000 taels of silver.
Send it again this year.
The Pei family has no girls of the right age, so Shen Chuliu can rest assured about this.
It’s not that she thought too much, but she had never met the Pei family, so she wasn’t that close to them.
Shen Chuliu thought about it, called all her people over, and rewarded them one by one.
He also asked Yuanxiao to take some silver to the kitchen to reward the people he often took care of.
He also asked Zizhu to go to the clothing bureau to give a few tips and take back the clothes that were sent last.
The staff of the Service Bureau were very grateful: "Why did you bother to come here, young lady? Aren't we going to send it tomorrow?"
"I'm just passing by. You don't have to be polite, maids. I'll take it." Zizhu said with a smile.
After she left, the others divided the money: "He is really generous in doing things."
"Yes, hey, maybe she will be a concubine this year."
“Maybe…”
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, I took out the clothes and checked them. There was no problem with them, so I hung them up one by one, waiting to wear them during the New Year.
During those days, I had no time to wash clothes and couldn’t do so.
Therefore, they had to have enough clothes to wear. If the concubines in the palace who were not favored did not have enough clothes, they would be even more afraid of getting them dirty.
Zirui and Zizhu simply cleaned an empty room and hung clothes there.
There are more than ten sets of clothes hanging at a time, so the clothes won’t be wrinkled and it will be faster to change them if you need to.
Influenced by the New Year atmosphere these days, people who have nothing to do also feel a little busy.
Fortunately, it’s only a day or two, and after a while of chaos, the New Year is here.
When New Year's Eve comes, I'm as busy as a top.
I got up early in the morning to worship my ancestors in the Taimiao, then paid my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Queen. After going through all the circles and returning to Cuiyunxuan, I was so tired that I didn't want to say a word.
At the state banquet on the first day of the new year, everyone was dressed beautifully and solemnly.
Shen Chuliu was wearing a red skirt with a gold-rimmed plum blossom embroidered on her chest and dark patterns embroidered with very fine gold threads on the hem. You couldn't see it when you were not moving, but you could see the faint golden patterns when you were walking.
On the double-knife bun, there are red crystals inlaid with gold, which look like blooming plum blossoms.
There are also red plum silk flowers made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which are so lifelike that they look like real plum blossoms at first glance.
On her ears were red plum blossom earrings, hung with very fine gold threads and embellished with pearls.
The narrow and long willow-shaped eyebrows are not as gentle as usual, but rather have a sense of height and pride.
The eyeliner slightly outlines her eyes, lengthening her almond-shaped eyes.
Use red rouge to smudge the end of the eye to make it look a little pink.
Now he painted another small red plum blossom, but it was half-opened.
Yi Fei: You...you guys...you guys...
