Chapter 176: Standing on the
Right Side With Shen Chuliu's pregnancy and promotion, the situation in the palace changed again.
In the past three years, the palace has also begun to take sides.
Or to put it more euphemistically, stand together.
Rong Meiren and Su Baolin came to visit as soon as possible. By coming here at this time, they were clearly telling the outside world that they were standing here.
Su Baolin would be fine, but Rong Meiren was really brave to make such a choice.
Of course, people outside thought that she was reaping the benefits.
After all, since the day of plum blossom viewing last year, the emperor has come to her residence twice this year.
Compared with those who are favored, this little bit of favor is not enough, but compared with her past self, it is a huge change.
Shen Chuliu sat leaning against the pillow: "You guys will do the work."
"The weather is good now, neither too cold nor too hot. Isn't it just right for me to come and see the queen? Are you feeling well?" asked Lady Rong.
"What's the use of calling her 'Queen' or not? I'm not used to that." Shen Chuliu laughed.
"Then sister, I dare not refuse." said Lady Rong.
"Yes, Sister Jing can't refuse." Su Baolin said.
"Okay, I won't refuse. There's really no need for you to come like this. I'm just a Xiuyuan, how can I protect you?" Shen Chuliu sighed.
At first, I really didn't expect this.
"That's not the case. We are standing together, and we are at least helping each other. Why would I just ask you to protect me?" Su Baolin said with a smile: "You know me, being favored or not is not the most important thing. As for Sister Rong, she is a quiet person, and she just wants to have an easy life."
Shen Chuliu smiled and said he understood.
After seeing them off, Shen Chuliu got up and went out.
"Master, you don't have to be nervous. Now, Chen Baolin has gone to Li Chongrong again. He is really shameless, and it's fortunate that Li Chongrong accepts it. I heard that Feng Yunv also has the same intention." Zizhu said.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. I just feel that this palace is weird. On the contrary, Concubine Feng has no one around. Concubine Ying absolutely refuses to be with her now." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
This is all thanks to the emperor, who has made the harem into what it is today.
It's obvious that they are asking them to compete with each other.
However, it doesn't matter if it is like this. After all, it is not what she thought at the beginning, asking her to step forward and be cannon fodder.
"Master, the kitchen has sent some snacks. Take a look." Yuanxiao came in from the door and opened the food box.
"Well, bring it in." Shen Chuliu said.
She is under house arrest now, and the farthest she can go is to sit in the yard.
"Come to think of it, there aren't many people coming to pay respects nowadays." Shen Chuliu smiled as she ate some snacks, "Feng Shufei is under house arrest, I am under house arrest, Lu Baolin is about to give birth and can't go, Li Chongrong is in confinement after childbirth, and Yi Chongyuan is sick. That's the five of us."
"Even Yingcai couldn't go this morning." Zizhu said.
"That's six, and there aren't many people left. It's time for the talent show." Shen Chuliu said.
The talent show will be held in March of next year, and Shen Biyu will be joining us then.
Shen Chuliu smiled gently. Why else would one say that fate is so wonderful?
She didn't do anything intentional, but she hurried to sit in the seat of the Ninth Concubine before Shen Biyu came in.
In this case, it is impossible for Shen Biyu to hold a high position.
For example, if Concubine Feng became Concubine Shu, the girl from another branch of her family would always be a concubine of the imperial family.
The Shen family couldn't understand and wanted their daughter to come in and waste time, so why should she stop them?
She's not that kind.
"Next year, the girl from the Li family will come in." Zizhu was still worried about the girl Li Xiang from the Li family.
"Yes, I'm afraid his position once he comes in won't be low." Zi Rui was also worried.
"She is the most beautiful lady, and her promotion depends on her ability." Zhe Mei said with a smile, "Besides, even if she is more beautiful, we just don't make enemies with her."
"I'm afraid that even if we don't make enemies, others will dislike us." Zi Rui sighed.
"How could that be? The Li family is not stupid. We have the Shen family behind us. What's more, the master is about to give birth, and it must be a prince." Zhemei said.
"Why are you in such a hurry? When Miss Li comes in, she must confront Concubine Feng first. Aren't the nieces of the two Empress Dowagers the same as the black-eyed chickens that are fought first?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Master is absolutely right."
The master and servant were chatting, and Shen Chuliu was in a very good mood.
Although I fainted that day, it was actually not a serious matter. It was just because I was extremely angry at the time.
She is in good health and the fetus is stable.
Plus I took a few pills of Shang Yan Ding Kun Dan before, which was quite beneficial.
I didn’t know I was pregnant when I took it, but it was fine in the early stages.
Now she has created a very good environment for the child. She is in good health, so the fetus is very stable.
Shen Chuliu gently touched her belly. It still didn't seem real, but she was already looking forward to this little thing that hadn't been born yet and was still a tiny baby.
"It would be nice to give birth to a prince, or a princess. Look how beautiful the second princess is." She is worthy of being the princess born by the queen.
He is only a little bit old, but he is very graceful.
She looks like the queen.
"That's right. In comparison, the eldest princess is very cowardly." Zi Rui said.
"Concubine Jin is a concubine after all, but she raised the princess to be so weak. Alas." Zizhu also sighed.
"Fortunately it's a princess." If a prince was raised like this, Qi Yixiu would have placed the child in Ruiqing Palace long ago.
"Yes." Zizhu replied.
After having snacks, I didn’t want to sleep, so I walked around in the yard. Cuiyunxuan is quite big, so there are still some things worth seeing.
Compared to the ease here with Shen Chuliu, Lu Baolin was almost pissed off.
A lot of things were smashed. Yuanxiao and his friends were also very cunning and only smashed the good things.
Some were rewards from the emperor, and some came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But no one replaced what was broken, and the only things that could be replaced were some tea sets and other necessary items.
The rest was put on hold.
The emperor not only didn't do anything to Jing Xiuyuan, but also promoted her. Now that she is Baolin, anything she says is redundant.
Even if she is still pregnant, she is pregnant.
How could a child of Xiu Yuan not be more noble than her?
Lu Baolin was so angry that she almost died. But at this time, Empress Dowager Feng ignored her.
What made her most nervous was the two little palace maids who were taken away. After several rounds of torture, they were no longer recognizable as human beings.
A group of gossipers were also arrested in the palace, and all of them were severely punished.
This time it was the Queen who did it. When everyone was paying their respects in the morning, the Queen said in person: "I will not do anything about the harem fighting and framing. But I will never forgive you for this one crime, the crime of defiling the palace. If anyone really does this, I advise you to commit suicide. Otherwise, don't expect to have an easy life if you fall into my hands. I will never tolerate those who spread rumors. You'd better give up this idea. I don't like to hear these disgusting things." The Queen frowned, with disdain and disgust in her eyes.
Lu Baolin: ...Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!
Shen Chuliu: It’s been seven months. If you can’t have an abortion, I’ll beat you to death.
Emperor: My beloved concubine, you...
The baby in Chu Liu's belly: You didn't expect it, did you? You don't even know when this baby will appear! (End of this chapter)
