Chapter 172: Promotion is Fast Enough
"I have also seen the late emperor reward Min Zhaoyi in the past. At that time, this thing was very rare, and Min Zhaoyi only got two pills. This medicine can only be produced in a few pills every year. Those kinds of medicines are really rare. And they can't be stored for too long, so they are top-grade goodies."
After all, Zhemei knows pharmacology, and this is considered her specialty, so she talks incessantly.
Shen Chuliu listened and smiled: "That's great, it seems the emperor is generous."
"Master, I guess that you came into contact with musk last year, which is just right for regulating your body." Zhemei said.
Shen Chuliu nodded and said, "Every year at this time, the precious medicinal materials sent from the north and south to the palace arrive. I am not in a hurry. You can ask around in the next few days to see if anyone else has this medicine besides me."
"Don't worry, master. We will go and find out in a moment." Zi Rui said.
Shen Chuliu looked at the pill and wondered what this meant. Qi Yixiu wouldn't just give her some harmful medicine.
So, was this precious thing really sent to her to help her recuperate?
Of course, she knew that she was the one who spent the most time in the emperor's bedchamber now, and after Concubine Li became pregnant, she could not share the burden.
Others can't suppress her, so she is the second Yifei? Speaking of Yifei, she said: "According to you, Yifei can't use this medicine?"
Zhe Mei shook her head: "I have inquired about it. Concubine Yi has a problem with the heat in her five internal organs. Her liver qi is stagnant and her lung qi is restless. If she takes this medicine, I am afraid it will... hasten her death."
Shen Chuliu nodded and understood. This can be eaten by normal people, people with severe coldness can eat it, but people with excessive heat cannot eat it?
"That's not right. Wasn't Concubine Yi unable to get pregnant in the past because of uterine cold?" Shen Chuliu was puzzled.
"Yes, Concubine Yi has a cold uterus, but that's the reason why she's in poor health now. She has a cold uterus, but her five internal organs are also full of heat. If not for this, the imperial physician would have to cure her in a short time." Zhemei said.
"Wow, this is really amazing." This was in ancient times, when people could make their bodies like this.
"In fact, Concubine Yi's health was not very good in the past, but I thought that if she didn't insist on having a baby, she would probably be fine." Zi Rui said in a low voice.
Shen Chuliu nodded. Yes, forcing pregnancy would only harm others and yourself.
Since it was Shen Chuliu's birthday, the emperor had given her gifts, so the empress ordered a table to be set up.
At noon, Rong Meiren and Su Baolin came together.
Yao Baolin happened to come over, and everyone had dinner together.
The emperor also rewarded Shen Chuliu with four dishes, so that he could have a good birthday.
After lunch, a few people sat down and talked, preparing to play mahjong for a while.
After getting ready, Shen Chuliu said, "I won't let you down. Do you have enough money?"
"Don't worry, if it's not enough, I'll go back and get it. It's close." Yao Baolin said.
"It's the same for us. If it's not enough, ask someone to go back and get it. I guarantee you'll win happily. Birthday boy, don't lose." said Miss Rong.
As he spoke, he set up the card table. Today was a very good day, so he set it up outside.
Shen Chuliu's luck was average at the beginning, but Yao Baolin had good luck.
In the end, Shen Chuliu turned the tables. She and Yao Baolin defeated Rong Meiren and Su Baolin completely.
When everyone stopped, Shen Chuliu still felt that he had not yet had enough.
"This has become a place where people are eaten. You will lose money if you come here." Lady Rong said with a smile.
"That's right. Next time, don't bring too much silver with you. If you lose, it's fine. Otherwise, you'll be hurt." Su Baolin also laughed.
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, then went back.
Yao Baolin was left to talk to Shen Chuliu: "The emperor will definitely come tomorrow, so don't think too much about it. After all, today is the first day of the new year."
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It should be."
She didn't care. If the emperor didn't come on ordinary days, it would be a shame. But it was the first day of the new year, and that was the Empress's day. Wouldn't it be good if he didn't come? She didn't need the emperor to add to her beauty. She had already got a lot of good things today.
The jewelry on the tree branch was taken down and sorted out. There were exactly two sets, but they were both different and very exquisite.
Just happened to wear it recently.
That night, the emperor really stayed in the queen's palace.
Early in the morning, before the concubines came to pay their respects, they heard that Concubine Li was about to give birth.
Qi Yixiu had to attend the court early in the morning, so naturally he couldn't go. The Queen directly notified everyone to go to Concubine Li's place.
Everyone hurried over. In Qingyin Pavilion, the midwife had already arrived and was busy delivering the baby.
The situation inside is pretty good. Li Jieyu is now full-term.
But the first child was difficult to give birth to, so two hours had actually passed since the onset of the disease.
Everyone waited, and waited for the whole morning.
Qi Yixiu arrived after noon, which was just in time as there were many things to do in the court.
After he came, he asked and found out that Li Jieyu had not given birth yet, but he was relieved that everything was fine.
Sit down and wait.
Everyone hadn't had lunch yet, and some hadn't even had breakfast, so they were all very hungry.
The emperor said, "Let's go back and have dinner first."
The queen refused: "Wait a little longer, it won't take too long."
Since the Queen had said so, the others did not dare to leave even though they were dissatisfied. To be honest, they also wanted to see what Concubine Li was like.
To put it bluntly, how many people are hoping that something bad will happen to her.
But there was also an unexpected incident here, and Concubine Yi couldn't hold on any longer.
Qi Yixiu looked at her pale face and waved his hand: "Concubine Yi, please go back first."
Concubine Yi stood up and thanked the emperor, but she did not dare to stay. If she fainted again, it would be troublesome.
Although she was getting better, she couldn't stand the torment.
It was not until three quarters after 3 p.m. that a loud noise was heard in the house.
The midwife's voice was heard giving orders to Li Jieyu, and soon after, Li Jieyu's crying voice was heard.
About a quarter of an hour later, the people outside also began to sound nervous.
Then finally the baby's cry was heard, followed by the midwives' congratulations.
It sounds good.
After a while, the midwife came out to congratulate: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Concubine Li has given birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe."
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Okay! There are rewards! Everyone will get rewards. Concubine Li will be promoted to Li Chongrong immediately and will be granted the residence of Yichun Pavilion. She will move in after the Fourth Prince is one month old."
"I congratulate the emperor on the birth of another prince." said the queen with a smile.
Everyone also hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Empress. Congratulations to Li Chongrong."
Qi Yixiu waved his hand: "We are all exhausted today, go back, I and the Queen will stay for a while."
Everyone thanked him and went their separate ways.
"I'm starving." After leaving Qingyin Pavilion, Shen Chuliu pressed his stomach.
"I'm already hungry and I drank a lot of tea. I have to go back quickly." She felt her hands shaking now.
Isn't this hypoglycemia? The servants didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly waited for her to go back.
Pick up the meal as soon as you enter the door.
No one has eaten today, so the food is waiting in the kitchen and will be brought back soon.
Shen Chuliu saw that there was a dessert, so she took a few bites and recovered. She quickly started eating.
"Li Chongrong was promoted very quickly." Yao Baolin had just finished his meal and came over to sit and talk.
