Chapter 199 Can't Go Wrong
Sure enough, in Taiji Palace, the emperor also laughed after hearing Yuanxiao's words.
"Your master is in good health, this is a good thing."
He gave Chusi some Lantern Festival gifts and then let him go.
After coming out, Layue gently bumped Yuanxiao's shoulder and said, "Boy, how did you get such good fortune in your previous life? How could you have such good luck to follow a good master?"
Yuanxiao smiled, praised each other a few words, and left.
Yuanxiao thought that he had also enjoyed a good life when he was very young...
Later, I was almost tortured to death, and I had already accepted my fate.
What if he didn't recognize it? A eunuch is a eunuch in the palace, but outside, he is no longer a person.
Fortunately, I can follow my master and be a decent person, which is pretty good.
Look, I hope the master is well. Now she has nine concubines. It would be great if she gave birth to a prince and could rise to a high position in the future.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the days seem to pass by very quickly.
When Shen Chuliu came back to his senses, he had already put on his cotton coat.
She is becoming more and more lazy now. She has to force herself to go out for a walk every day. She no longer goes to the Imperial Garden, but just walks around her Cuiyunxuan. If the distance is not enough, she will just go around in circles.
Yao Baolin often accompanied him, and Rong Meiren also came often.
Su Baolin came less often now, and she said frankly that she slept with him more often now. Coming too often would easily attract attention.
Shen Chuliu said that this was good.
Having a good relationship doesn't necessarily mean you have to be in the same place.
"In our delivery room, the heated kang is ready, and the delivery maids are on standby at all times." Zi Rui counted, "With your position, you can invite your maternal relatives to come in when you give birth. Master, do you want to invite them? Tell me to tell them, although... they are your maternal relatives after all, and they will definitely not let you get into trouble."
Shen Chuliu thought for a long time and shook his head: "Forget it. My pregnancy is relatively safe this time, Your Majesty, just watch over it."
"Then we servants will keep a close eye on them." Zi Rui was very worried.
She had heard too many ways of doing things that could harm mothers and children.
Before she entered the palace, an old maid in the backyard, who was a former second wife's servant, taught her a little.
"Master, how about... asking your wet nurse to come in?" Zizhu said.
Shen Chuliu had several wet nurses, but only one stayed with her in the end.
After she entered the palace, she was sent out of the house.
Shen Chuliu thought for a moment and said, "The nanny has her own family now."
"Don't you only have one son? I remember she got married, and she doesn't have a husband." Zi Rui said, "You couldn't bring him in at first, but you can now."
"Forget it." Shen Chuliu shook her head: "Let her live out her days in peace."
"Then we servants should serve our master well." Zi Rui sighed.
"Okay, don't worry. I've always been in good health and nothing will happen to me. Are you worrying so much? Are you trying to scare me?" Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Rui hurriedly said she didn't dare.
Shen Chuliu touched her belly and walked slowly, thinking that she couldn't remember many things from her previous life, but she probably never gave birth to a child.
So when it comes to having children, I am still very vague.
However, she had seen so many things in her previous life that she just couldn't remember clearly what happened to her, but she still remembered a lot of other things.
Giving birth is dangerous, but as long as the fetus is in the right position, can't most people give birth naturally?
"Didn't Aunt Zhang say that my baby looks fine and is in the right position?"
"Yes, that's what Aunt Zhang said. Aunt Zhang is quite honest. She has basically never gone out since she entered our Cuiyunxuan." Zizhu said.
This is to avoid suspicion.
Generally speaking, once the health nurses went to a place, they would not move freely until the master's child was born.
During this period, they had to report wherever they went to prevent them from doing anything to their masters.
This Aunt Zhang is a good person. She doesn't talk much and doesn't gossip.
"Did we have the custom of keeping a health nanny last year?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Yes, the nanny serving the Second Prince is the one who served Concubine Feng last year. She was still in the mansion at that time. The nanny of the Queen came from Chaoguo, and is now staying with the Second Princess. If you want to keep her, you can." Zizhu said.
"Well, there's no rush now. Anyway, she has to take care of me until the end of the confinement period. I'll ask her then." Shen Chuliu said.
Zizhu and Zirui agreed.
A few days later, when I returned from a stroll, I saw that the snacks given by the emperor as a reward had been delivered.
Shen Chuliu took a look and found it to be indeed exquisite. He also felt hungry, so he went to wash his hands and eat something.
At this time, Miss Ying had already finished her confinement and was trying her best to win favor.
I don't know why he doesn't get along with Wen Xiaoyi. He always looks at her in a weird way.
Concubine Yi in Changle Palace hasn't been to Fengzao Palace for half a month.
She was so sick that she couldn't get up, coughed all day, and couldn't sleep well at night.
At this moment, he looked so haggard that he looked unrecognizable.
There are obvious dark circles under his eyes, and his hair is much dryer than before.
Even if it is good medicine, it will be ineffective if it cannot be absorbed.
It was only October, but she was already so cold that she needed a thick quilt. Even if she was choking and coughing, she needed a few braziers in the hall.
This year, the emperor, considering her poor health, rewarded her with enough silver charcoal to last her for several winters.
The amount of silver-thread charcoal is limited every year, and because more of it was given to Concubine Yi, naturally no silver-thread charcoal will be seen below the Nine Concubines this year.
Whether it is Ying Meiren who gave birth to a child or Lu Baolin, they can only use inferior silver frost carbon.
Everyone naturally hated Concubine Yi, but Concubine Yi looked terminally ill, and she was probably the first high-ranking concubine to die of illness since Emperor Qingyuan ascended the throne.
So no one dared to say anything.
The imperial physician told Qi Yixiu that if they could survive this winter, everything would be fine. If they couldn't, then that would be the end of this year.
The cause of Concubine Yi's illness was known from the beginning, so the Emperor was not surprised.
It's just a lot of rewards.
But if a person is no longer capable, no amount of rewards will be of any use.
Nowadays, Concubine Yi is rarely awake during the day and is usually drowsy, having problems eating and drinking.
Rarely gets up.
His body, which was not fat to begin with, is now as thin as a bag of bones.
The Changle Palace today is no longer as it used to be. Although Concubine Yi has never managed her palace in an orderly manner, it is at least not as messy as it is now.
On the fifteenth day, everyone paid their respects to the Empress Dowager. As for the previous matters, Empress Dowager Feng was very easy to talk to. With just a few words, she asked everyone to go to Empress Dowager Li.
In Ci'an Palace, Empress Dowager Li asked everyone and the children.
After asking Shen Chuliu who was pregnant, he finally remembered Concubine Yi.
"How is Concubine Yi? I haven't seen her since the first day of the new year. Is she seriously ill?"
"To answer your question, mother, Concubine Yi says she is unable to get up. The imperial physician is taking good care of her, and the emperor and I often ask people to give us rewards." The queen merely stated without adding her own opinion.
Queen Mother Li sighed, "Well, let's wait and see what happens. With the Queen watching over her, she can't go wrong."
