Chapter 179 Addition of People
The Queen waved her hands in satisfaction: "Jin Fei was like this before. It will be fine after a while."
Concubine Jin smiled and said, "That's right, Sister Jing is much better now. It took me more than four months to recover."
Sure enough, after Shen Chuliu was promoted, Concubine Jin's attitude became very good.
Concubine Feng couldn't bear to watch this, and snorted coldly: "Didn't Concubine Jin pay respects to you for a month at that time?"
Concubine Jin didn't say anything.
Since it wasn't a question for Shen Chuliu, she didn't say anything.
The Queen didn't care, so what was the point of Concubine Feng's comment? "Look, Jing Xiuyuan looks much better. That's good. The sisters are all in good health. The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are both healthy children." Concubine Kangde said with a smile.
The Queen smiled approvingly.
Concubine Yi looked at the ruddy Shen Chuliu with mixed feelings in her heart: "Jing Xiuyuan has been in the palace for three years, right? In three years, she became Xiuyuan, which is really a meteoric rise. The same is true for Li Chongrong, who became Chongrong in two years, which is even faster."
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Yi." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Although I am a Xiuyuan, I am not as good as you, Concubine Yi. You were a second-rank Concubine Yi as soon as you entered the palace."
Speaking of which, Concubine Yi's family background was very high when she was first granted a title.
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "My health is not as good as before, so it is difficult for me to serve the emperor. It is good for you to share my worries."
This was a harsh remark. He actually regarded them as insignificant people.
Shen Chuliu has never suffered any loss, so she would never hold back: "The Concubine Yi is not in good health now, and I am indeed not thoughtful enough. I am a concubine, and it is natural for me to serve the emperor. If we are to share worries, it is for the Empress."
Concubine Yi paused: "Of course it is so. I spoke out of turn. Please forgive me, Queen."
The Queen waved her hand and said, "The Concubine Yi is ill, and I will understand."
"Sister Jing, do you have a good appetite? I think I could eat anything back then." Li Chongrong asked with a smile.
She wanted to retaliate, but Jing Xiuyuan's pregnancy was revealed at that time.
"I'm feeling better now. My body is not as good as Li Chongrong's." Shen Chuliu said.
She realized that Li Chongrong had gained a lot of weight in the past few months. This was normal. Being fat after giving birth was nothing.
It's not an exaggeration.
But she was so favored before, but now she seems to be a little less favored? Did the emperor dislike her fatness? Or was there another reason? Shen Chuliu dealt with everyone while observing them.
Now that Ning Chongyi and Su Baolin are in favor, these two people are much more glamorous.
It's fine for Yingcairen to be pregnant.
Lu Baolin is still in confinement, but even if she comes, she will be the most embarrassing one.
After the greetings were over, Shen Chuliu stood up and left with everyone else.
This time, the ones ahead of her were the first-rank Consort Feng Shufei, Consort Kangde, the second-rank Consort Yifei, Consort Jin, and Consort Song Zhaoyi.
Everyone else was behind her.
Oh, by the way, the nine concubines can ride in the sedan chair.
But Shen Chuliu will not take risks now.
She held Jimei's hand and went to Taiji Palace with Zhemei and Chisu.
The Emperor will not be attending court today, and I just asked someone to inquire, and there are no ministers in the palace.
So, when people in Taiji Palace heard that Jing Xiuyuan had arrived, they did not dare to delay and hurried in to report.
Qi Yixiu dropped what he was doing and went to see her.
"Why are you here?" Qi Yixiu took her hand and exempted her from greeting.
It was too hot, and she was pregnant, so she was very hot. So she wore a light green skirt, simple and refreshing.
She also had a neat bun on her head, fixed with a gold hairpin, and didn't wear many jewelry.
But it looks softer.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you." Shen Chuliu said.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yixiu asked her to sit down.
"Didn't I vomit badly some time ago? I couldn't take care of many things. My Cuiyunxuan is short-staffed and needs to have more people. I have selected a few myself and ask for Your Majesty's approval." Shen Chuliu looked at the emperor eagerly.
Qi Yixiu thought, this woman is really bold and careful.
There is nothing I dare not do, but I always know to be careful when dealing with people around me.
"Just go to the Queen for this matter. Will the Queen not allow it?" Qi Yixiu looked at her.
"Your Majesty, it would not look good if I directly asked for so many people. I beg Your Majesty to consider it. After all, I am pregnant. If I bring in people with ulterior motives, wouldn't that be bad?" Shen Chuliu said.
"Are you still commanding me?" Qi Yixiu glared.
"Your Majesty, please, I cannot bear to see someone around me do something stupid." Shen Chuliu stood up and Qi Yixiu pulled his hand: "Your Majesty, please help me this time."
Qi Yixiu pulled her over and held her in his arms: "Why are you so troublesome?"
"Your Majesty, please don't say that, Your Majesty..." Shen Chuliu acted coquettishly.
She had been vomiting for a month and had lost a lot of weight. She felt lighter when I held her.
It really makes people feel pity.
This is not a big deal.
"Okay, I won't care about you if you make trouble again." Qi Yixiu said.
That's what happened.
Shen Chuliu thanked him, hugged his neck and asked, "Have I disturbed the emperor by coming here rashly?"
"What do you think?" Qi Yixiu looked down at her.
The little concubine's eyebrows are well drawn and look extremely delicate.
"Then how about I take care of the writing? It's not hard. The nanny also said that I can't fall asleep all the time." There is a health nanny to take care of it.
I've only been here a few days.
"Since you want to move, just move. Just tell me if you're tired." Qi Yixiu did have some things to do, so he took her to the imperial study.
Just like before, Shen Chuliu took off her jewelry, washed her hands, and started grinding ink.
This is indeed not a tiring task, as it only takes a while for her to use it for a long time.
The whole morning passed like this.
It was not convenient to go back in the middle of the day, so after lunch I took a nap in the Taiji Palace.
I went back in the afternoon when it got cooler.
Of course, before leaving, Jimei had already told Chusi everyone they had chosen.
On that day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs summoned back a group of slaves and maids in the harem who had no important work to do.
On the second day, people were asked to select people from various places.
All the masters who are promoted to higher positions need to add people to their palaces.
A few had already been added to Ning Chongyi's place, but Li Chongrong's place was not enough.
Concubine Rong also had one new concubine. Other palaces also had new concubines.
Of course, the people Shen Chuliu wanted had already been arranged and would not be chosen from anywhere else.
When she was brought here, she saw seven or eight palace maids and four or five eunuchs standing in a line.
Since Shen Chuliu didn’t know him, he just called Zizhu Xuan.
Zizhu picked out the people they liked, and Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Then let's pick them. Thank you, eunuch. Let's see the rewards during the Lantern Festival."
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were extremely polite: "Oh, your Majesty, you are not right. It is a blessing for us servants to serve you. They are also blessed."
After thanking Shen Chuliu, he took the reward money and left.
Awooooooooo
