Chapter 168: Heart to Heart
Yao Baolin doesn't count as they have lived together since the beginning.
This beautiful lady could have kept herself out of trouble.
Now it has been mixed in.
Shen Chuliu changed into a beige skirt and combed her hair up, fixing it with a plain silver hollow Ruyi flower hairpin.
"The Emperor must have said bad things about me to Concubine Rong." Shen Chuliu walked over and pouted.
"I can't say anything to you?" Qi Yixiu looked at her.
When Shen dressed up carefully, she was undoubtedly beautiful, but now even when she was dressed casually, she still made his eyes light up.
"The emperor is praising Concubine Jing." Concubine Rong said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu smiled and sat down: "Then I will make tea for His Majesty."
"You, you never forgive me once you open your mouth." Qi Yixiu looked at her.
Shen Chuliu just smiled sweetly and didn't respond.
Miss Rong was perceptive and after sitting for a while she stood up and said goodbye.
After she left, Qi Yixiu reached out and pulled Shen Chuliu into his arms: "Are you not jealous now?"
"The Emperor is too bad." Shen Chuliu snorted, "I'm afraid he is here to chase after Concubine Rong? It's so cold."
"When you find a new love, you forget the old one." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu clapped her hands and said, "Who is the old friend? You have a lot of twisted ideas. How do I know she is coming?"
"I am an old friend. When I entered the palace, the emperor did not go to Concubine Rong." Shen Chuliu hooked her arms around Qi Yixiu's neck.
"I thought you and her really had a deep sisterly love, but it turns out you were just acting?" Qi Yixiu deliberately frowned.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Your Majesty, do you really think that I believe you think so?"
"You said the emperor is bad, and he is indeed bad!"
"You speak without restraint." Qi Yixiu glared at her.
"I have a good relationship with her, and she does have a good temper. But that doesn't mean I'm happy when she serves the emperor. I even want to hide the emperor. If someone tells the emperor in the future that I'm happy with the sisters serving him, that's absolutely a lie. The sisters consider their face and don't fight, which is a sign of affection and righteousness." Shen Chuliu snorted coldly.
Qi Yixiu was really speechless.
"Okay, what time is it? Should we serve the meal?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Is Your Majesty leaving today? If not, please serve the meal. If not, I will not give Your Majesty any food." Shen Chuliu said.
Why would Qi Yixiu leave?
"Since you have allowed me to stay like this, I have to give face to you, a concubine. Why don't you serve the meal?" Qi Yixiu said.
"Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry? I just gave the order and it will be ready soon. They are all delicious." Shen Chuliu let go of her hand and poured more tea for Qi Yixiu: "Your Majesty, please drink tea. During the New Year, people drink a lot of alcohol. Let's drink soup today."
The meal was served soon and Qi Yixiu was very satisfied. Indeed, there was too much greasy food during the New Year.
A light and comfortable meal is best.
So, they had a very pleasant lunch. In the afternoon, Qi Yixiu played chess with Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu's chess skills are naturally not very good, and Qi Yixiu just wants to relax, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad.
After spending the whole afternoon, we naturally stayed here in the evening.
This was also the first concubine to serve the emperor in bed after the New Year.
The Queen naturally does not count, as she began to serve the emperor on the fifteenth day of her marriage.
There were so many people in the harem who were envious, jealous and resentful, but there was nothing they could do.
At least on the surface, no one dared to intercept.
In Changle Palace, Concubine Yi has not gotten up since the day she almost fainted.
Now the whole house smells like medicine. She has a cough that has not healed. And because of the cough, she can't sleep well in the middle of the night.
It went on and on, and just when things were getting better, it suddenly rained and it became cold again.
The side room cannot be too hot, otherwise it will be too dry, which is bad for her lungs.
So for the time being, you can only adjust your condition slowly and pay close attention to your diet.
Concubine Yi had just taken the medicine, her face was sallow, she leaned against the pillow and asked, "Is the Emperor still in Taiji Palace today?"
"The emperor went to Cuiyunxuan." Chenxiang did not say that the emperor had gone there in the morning, so as not to make his master even more unhappy.
Concubine Yi did not show any displeasure, but just nodded: "Not surprising."
In previous years, she was the first one to sleep with him.
That's not possible nowadays.
"Sooner or later, she will have to ask people to call her Her Majesty," said Concubine Yi.
"Master, why bother thinking about these things? The most important thing is to take good care of your health. You will be fine when the weather gets warmer. Then everything will be fine again." Chenxiang said.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Pour me another glass of water. I'll drink it and go to sleep."
Chenxiang agreed and went.
After drinking the water, lying down and closing her eyes, Concubine Yi just felt cold.
But because of her cough, she couldn't let the temperature get too high, so she had to endure it.
The hot water bottle was scalding, but she was still cold due to her weak body.
I endured it and gradually fell asleep.
In the dream, it was when she first entered the mansion, and the man said to her, "We are in perfect harmony with each other."
It doesn’t work now?
Concubine Yi opened her eyes in the middle of the night and looked at the dark ceiling of the tent.
She wondered, now is it that Concubine Jing and the emperor have reached a rapport? Concubine Yi was deeply traumatized during this New Year.
But it was not entirely because of Concubine Jing. What she cared more about was what the emperor said to Ning Chongyi.
He said...
He said that he never gave Ning a title because he thought her surname was very good.
Concubine Yi felt cold all over. All those years, she was always proud that she was the only one with the title. So this is what happened?
The emperor regarded the word "Ning" as Ning's title and felt that she was worthy of this word.
For many years, people have said that Ning learned from Concubine Yi.
But can we still say that now?
Ning has always been like that. Does the emperor like Ning more? Yes, the two of them have similar personalities, but the emperor dotes on himself and also always dotes on Ning.
Why is this?
Concubine Yi started coughing, and Chenxiang outside called her master. Concubine Yi closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Chenxiang came to see her, pulled the quilt over her and went out again.
Concubine Yi opened her eyes again and looked at everything in the darkness blankly.
She no longer knew who to hate.
I can only say that I am not doing my best.
Shen Chuliu slept very well that night. It was cold, and it was quite comfortable to have the emperor next to her.
However, Concubine Yi did not sleep well. She fell asleep when it was almost dawn.
But he soon woke up coughing again, and his complexion looked much worse than yesterday.
I couldn't even get up to greet him.
Shen Chuliu, the emperor is going to hold an early court on the 18th day of the first lunar month.
Shen Chuliu had to go to the Queen to pay her respects, which was just like punching in for work, and her annual leave was over.
"Master, please have your meal first. There's still time." Zi Rui said.
"Okay, ask Zizhu and Zhemei to have something to eat as well, and then we'll go pay our respects together later." Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Rui nodded: "I have already gone to eat. The kitchen has sent some bird's nest porridge, please have some."
Concubines of lower ranks did not receive this benefit, which shows that this was a tribute from the kitchen.
Shen Chuliu drank some porridge and ate some side dishes. He wasn’t hungry after getting up so early.
When it was done, the servants brought a pearl-red dress.
The bra embroidered with forsythia flowers is paired with a long skirt. The outer part is a small jacket with a front opening. The collar and cuffs are all embroidered with forsythia flowers.
