Chapter 205: Dare not gain weight
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen heard that the Emperor went to Cuiyunxuan. She didn't say anything at the time, but she certainly wouldn't be happy.
Concubine Yi is no longer useful now. If Jing Xiuyi is the second Concubine Yi, she will be difficult to deal with.
However, the emperor arrived in just half an hour.
The Queen didn't think Jing Xiuyi was that good, but she also understood that at least now, Jing Xiuyi was still sensible, so the Queen was quite satisfied.
Everywhere is keeping an eye on the concubine. The next time we see her will be on the fifth day.
Basically, next time we should decide which ones will enter the palace.
In Changle Palace, Concubine Yi drank the medicine and sat on the couch listening to Fuxiang's responses.
"The Fang family and the Yu family will definitely come in, as well as the Li family and the Shen family. I'm afraid they will all come in. I think the emperor won't just want people from wealthy and powerful families. The others are probably from humble backgrounds." Fuxiang said carefully.
"Why don't you talk about Han?" Hua Shan snorted, "That woman looks a bit like our master. The emperor even asked for her name."
"Han?" Concubine Yi paused: "Similar to me?"
Fuxiang and Chenxiang looked at each other and both thought that Huashan was really stupid.
The master is so sick, why is he talking about this? "That's right, she looks 50% like you. The emperor specifically asked for her name. Her background is ordinary, and her family is a fifth or sixth rank official. Her name is Han Qiuqiu, what a name, it exudes a sense of foxy charm." Huashan snorted.
"Five percent similar to me?" This is what Concubine Yi cares about.
"They are just slightly similar in facial features, but their expressions and demeanor are very different." Fuxiang said hurriedly.
"Do you think this Han will stay?" asked Concubine Yi.
Fuxiang didn't dare to say anything. Huashan curled her lips and said, "Of course, I will definitely stay. Humph, the emperor even asked for my name."
Concubine Yi looked at her for a few seconds and waved her hand: "I'm tired, you guys go."
After coming out, Fuxiang sighed: "Sister Huashan, why do you have to say all this..."
"If I don't tell you, the master won't know? If someone else hears about it in the future, you won't blame us for not telling you?" Hua Shan glared, "If we don't tell you clearly now, the master will blame us in the future, and you will bear the consequences?"
After saying this, Hua Shan walked away.
Fuxiang and Chenxiang stood there without saying a word.
After a long while, Chen Xiang whispered, "She followed us from the mansion. Although she was not brought by the master from her mother's home, she is older than the ones we followed. Now she is only thinking about whether the master will blame her? She doesn't even care about the master's health."
"It's not like I just found out." Fuxiang sneered, "Last winter, Anxiang from the laundry department passed away, and we even sent some money to help with her funeral arrangements. But she didn't care."
"Yes, they came in from the mansion together..." Chenxiang shook his head.
Speaking of this, not only Huashan didn't ask, but Yifei also didn't ask.
Maybe he doesn't know, maybe... maybe he just doesn't want to get involved.
But no matter what, there is really no human touch in this Changle Palace.
"Sister Fuxiang, you say... our master is ill... what should we do then..." Chenxiang is younger and has many worries in his heart.
Fuxiang sighed and shook her head: "Don't say anything, just leave it to fate."
The imperial physician refused to say whether Concubine Yi would be well, but how could the people serving her not know? If her master was not well, what could they do? They would just wait to be assigned to serve elsewhere.
Inside the inner room, Concubine Yi was still in the same posture as before, but she had pulled the quilt up a lot.
She felt extremely cold, her whole body and bones were cold.
It was already March and everyone else had put on spring clothes, but she still wanted a thick padded jacket and a cotton undershirt.
She wondered, did the emperor really want to ask Han to enter the palace? Similar to her? But she wasn't dead yet...
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel..." Concubine Yi said, slowly lying down and curling up herself.
On the second day of the New Year, the emperor issued an edict early in the morning, granting marriages to more than a dozen people.
In the evening, Qi Yixiu arrived at Cuiyunxuan.
Shen Chuliu had been waiting for a long time. She had changed into a red skirt. She had given birth to a child, and I don't know about other changes, but her waist has recovered now. It has been two months. Aunt Zhang is indeed a capable person.
It's worth keeping her.
There is more fat on my face, but it doesn’t matter, I will lose weight in the summer.
The chest is a little longer, and it looks even better when worn with a skirt.
She had a double knife-shaped bun on her head, and wore a gold-thread and ruby hairpin that Qi Yixiu had someone send her a few days ago, along with a small accessory made of red gold and ruby.
There aren't many pieces of jewelry, but they are noble and eye-catching enough.
The ruby beads on her ears were strung with gold threads, swaying around her snow-white neck.
The collar was not too high, revealing her well-shaped neck, a small patch of beautiful skin, and her collarbone.
Qi Yixiu looked over and felt that her figure was just right.
She smiled and bowed: "Long live the emperor."
"No need to be polite, my beloved. I haven't dressed like this for a long time. As expected, you are still so beautiful." Qi Yixiu looked her up and down.
As Shen Chuliu walked, the goose yellow tassels on the tips of her embroidered shoes swayed and the gold thread on the hem of her skirt sparkled.
Qi Yixiu was so excited that he held her hand and asked, "Where is the Sixth Prince?"
"Waiting for the emperor." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The two of them entered the main hall, and the wet nurse came in carrying the sixth prince.
The child happened to be awake.
"Put it down." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
The wet nurse placed the child on the couch. The two-month-old Sixth Prince could not control his limbs well.
He would not bark or even look at people even though he moved a little.
But children are just cute. Even if they just wriggle a few times like insects, it makes people feel happy.
Qi Yixiu was surprised for a while, then he noticed that the Sixth Prince was uncomfortable.
He started to move his head. The nurse knew that he wanted to eat and sleep, but she didn't dare to say it.
Shen Chuliu looked at her and said, "You are the prince's wet nurse. Everything in the future will naturally be based on the prince. This is my first time giving birth, so I naturally don't know much. The emperor is concerned about major state affairs, so he naturally doesn't know these details. The prince needs to sleep and eat. If you see it, you should tell me."
The nurse knelt down hurriedly: "I understand, the Sixth Prince wants to eat something and then go to sleep..."
"Since that's the case, just take him away. Take good care of him." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Naturally, she would not breastfeed herself.
Qi Yixiu didn't know what he felt when he heard her call herself "this queen".
"My beloved concubine is full of vigor now."
"Why is Your Majesty making fun of me? What kind of momentum do I have? Isn't it all given by Your Majesty? I have the confidence only when you support me." Shen Chuliu pinched Qi Yixiu's finger: "I miss Your Majesty."
Qi Yixiu had flirted with her so much that she didn't want to wait until dark.
But he still held back and just held her in his arms: "Why didn't you gain weight after giving birth to the child?"
"Maybe you are afraid that the emperor will not be able to hold me anymore, so you dare not gain weight?"
