Chapter 182 I Wish
She smiled brightly at the mirror, like a seductive fairy concubine.
He held Zizhu's hand and went out, followed by Zhemei and Chisu.
The group went to Zhengyang Palace.
The state banquet would naturally be held in Zhengyang Palace.
"Master, is it okay for you not to sit and be chased away?" Zizhu asked.
"It's okay, just walk slowly." Shen Chuliu fanned himself with one hand and didn't need anyone to support him.
Although walking is a bit tiring, it is safe after all.
Being pregnant doesn't mean she can't walk. She is in good health.
When I was almost there, I met Miao Xiaoyi from Zilin Pavilion.
Miao Xiaoyi, wearing a pink jacket, stepped forward to greet: "Hello, Madam Jing Xiuyuan."
"No thanks, let's go." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Miao Xiaoyi has changed a lot now. She can no longer tolerate her superficial and frivolous past.
Now she is just a concubine in the deep palace, her life is neither too good nor too bad.
It seems like she has completely gotten used to life in the palace.
Shen Chuliu just felt that time was really powerful enough to put people in a place that could not be changed. After all, people would change with the environment.
"What does Miao Xiaoyi do every day now?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"I didn't know how to read in the past, but I'm learning. In my spare time, I do needlework. I wasn't very good at it before, and I relied on the servants to teach me." Miao Xiaoyi smiled and said, "I'm learning everything I didn't learn when I was a child."
"Are you still dancing? I remember that your dancing is very graceful." Shen Chuliu said.
"No. I haven't danced since I entered the palace. Dancing requires practice, and now I am no longer as good as I used to be." Miao Xiaoyi smiled.
Shen Chuliu was not with her; one could see how reluctant he was to leave on her face, but Miao Xiaoyi's bitter smile was very clear.
"Yes, the palace has its own way of survival." Shen Chuliu said this and stopped talking.
Two people entered Zhengyang Palace one after the other, one came to pay respects to Shen Chuliu, and the other wanted Shen Chuliu to pay respects as well.
After some hassle, everyone took their seats.
When everyone was gathered, the emperor, empress, two empress dowagers, crown prince and third prince entered the Zhengyang Palace together.
Everyone stood up again to pay their respects. All the nobles in the court came, and officials above the third rank also arrived.
Qi Yixiu waved his hand and said, "The Crown Prince and the Third Prince of Chaoguo have arrived today. They are honored guests of our Great Yi Dynasty. Please make sure to invite the two honored guests to drink a few more glasses of wine."
Everyone quickly responded.
Then sit down.
Because he was a distinguished guest, he sat very close to the front.
Concubine Feng Shu's second prince, Concubine Kang De's third prince, Concubine Jin's eldest princess, and the Queen's second princess were all there.
Ying Cairen, who was pregnant, naturally arrived as well.
Even Lu Baolin came, she was also one month old.
All the princes of the royal family came, but Princess Shun still claimed to be sick.
Several princesses who were getting married and their families also arrived.
The Zhengyang Palace was full of people sitting around it.
Soon, singing and dancing began, and the show started in a lively manner.
The meals were served one after another like flowing water.
The wine is good, but even though he is not allowed to drink until he is drunk, he is afraid that something might happen to the Crown Prince of Chao, so he will not really let him drink too much.
Shen Chuliu, a pregnant woman, naturally could not see any wine. What was in front of her were hot water and fruit water.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the Crown Prince of Chao stood up and said, "The reason I came here is naturally to establish ties between our two countries. Secondly, I am here to visit my sister and the little princess. My father, the Queen, has issued an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess Anyang of our Chao Kingdom, with a fiefdom."
The Queen stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Father. I thank you on behalf of Yu'er."
Qi Yu's nurse knelt down hurriedly and said, "The Second Princess kowtows to thank His Majesty the Emperor of Chaoguo."
"This is a blessing for Er." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
"This is all as we should, as a family. The third thing is that I want to marry a noble lady from the royal family of the Dayi Dynasty. Although I already have a Crown Princess, I don't have a concubine yet. I hope Your Majesty will approve it." The Crown Prince of Chaoguo was very humble.
I knew this before.
When the queen knew about it, Qi Yixiu also knew about it.
The queen never thought that she could get any news by hiding it from the emperor.
She was naturally proud of her status as a princess of the Chao Kingdom, but she also knew that she would live the rest of her life as the empress of the Dayi Dynasty.
She doesn’t put the cart before the horse.
"I really don't have a biological sister, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible. There are many girls in the royal family. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to marry me, I will naturally find a good one." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prince Chao said with a smile.
Among the royal family, those with daughters began to make plans.
Most of those who can come in are legitimate princesses, so they naturally don’t want to let their own daughters in.
But which family doesn’t have a few illegitimate children?
In this kind of situation, sending a daughter away would bring many benefits.
Shen Chuliu watched these things while eating slowly.
The people from the Shen family were always paying attention to her every move, after all, she was pregnant.
Fortunately, nothing happened and the state banquet passed in laughter and joy.
That day, Shen Chuliu was tired, mainly from walking.
Her legs were a little swollen at night, so Zengchun, the new lady, was very good at massage. He massaged her for a long time.
As expected, he felt better when he woke up the next day. When he went to pay his respects, he heard Concubine Jin talking about the arranged marriage.
"Speaking of which, Jing Xiuyuan is familiar, right? She is from Prince Wei's Palace."
Shen Chuliu's heart skipped a beat. Did Concubine Jin know about that? Concubine Jin didn't see anything and continued, "It's the one under your concubine's sister's name."
"My half-sister? Isn't she infertile?" Shen Chuliu was relieved.
"Don't you know? The Princess Ruyi, who was just canonized by the Emperor, is the child of your concubine sister." Concubine Jin said.
"Really? I haven't received any news yet." It's probably because the Shen family was afraid that she would be offended that they didn't say anything.
"Although my concubine's sister is a concubine, she is still young. I never thought that this would happen." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
I don’t know how many daughters the Prince of Wei has, but he has no sons.
There had been such incidents in the early years, but there were too many people in the backyard and they all died in the fight.
So, what's the matter with the adopted daughter of the third sister? She is quite resourceful.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu asked someone to go directly to Prince Wei's Mansion to tell her to come and see her.
Since you want to know, just announce it directly.
The next day, Prince Shen's concubine entered the palace.
She also brought with her the newly-conferred Princess Ruyi, but the princess was only seventeen years old, and Shen was only in her early twenties.
Even so, I still have to call you mother.
Outside Cuiyunxuan, Princess Ruyi laughed sarcastically, "We are both sisters, both concubines. My aunt is a noble lady, but my mother is still struggling in the quagmire. I wonder how she feels."
Naturally, she wouldn't like Shen, as her own mother was just a concubine and had died long ago.
But the entire Prince Wei's Mansion seemed like a disgusting quagmire. She didn't like anyone there and she really wanted to leave.
Meow, it's another shameless month.
