Chapter 223 In vain
The newcomers are all trying their best.
Those who have not slept with the emperor are anxious to do so, and those who have slept with the emperor are anxious to get pregnant.
Maybe hard work pays off.
On the fifth day of this month, the Dragon Boat Festival, it was revealed that two concubines were pregnant at the same time.
One is Su Baolin and the other is Han Baolin.
Su Baolin was fine, as she had served the emperor for a long time. But Han Baolin's pregnancy so quickly was totally unexpected.
Qi Yixiu was happy: "Su Baolin has been promoted to Xiaoyi, so take good care of the baby. Han Baolin's pregnancy is not stable yet, so don't neglect it."
The two men thanked the emperor.
The queen and the queen dowagers also gave gifts and said words of encouragement.
Su Baolin is two months old, but Han Baolin is only a little over a month old, so they are both still not very stable.
In the evening, Zengchun gave Shen Chuliu a massage.
Zizhu and a few others were talking on the side.
"I wonder where Su Xiaoyi's baby will end up." Zi Rui pondered, "Will she be brought here?"
"You're overthinking." Shen Chuliu said in a low voice.
"Then... the only one who can be supported now is Song Zhaoyi?" Zi Rui said again: "Oh, and Ning Chongyi."
Shen Chuliu nodded, thinking it was too early to talk about this now.
Although she didn't hope that the child would be bad, was it so easy to raise a child in the palace? When a new person entered the palace, it was a time of endless struggle, and it was unknown whether Su Xiaoyi could give birth to the child.
After the baby was born, he might also be sent to Ruiqing Palace.
That's good, so as to avoid recognizing someone else as his mother, which would be bad in the future.
"Speaking of which, the young master of the Pei family, although he did not get the top spot in the palace examination, he still ranked very well. Now he has entered the Hanlin Academy." Zizhu said.
"Well, I haven't met my grandfather since he returned to Beijing. Speaking of which, I have already asked the emperor for help. I will go and tell him tomorrow so that I can meet my grandmother and aunt properly." Shen Chuliu said.
"Well, I will go and pass the message tomorrow. Everyone is in the capital now. If I pass the message tomorrow, I will be able to see you the day after tomorrow." Zizhu said.
Shen Chuliu agreed and fell asleep while being massaged by Zengchun.
On the second day, after reporting to the Emperor and Empress, someone left the palace to pass on the message to the Pei family.
The Pei family’s mansion is new and it took several months to clean it up.
Of course, Shen Chuliu gave a batch of rewards during this period.
At this moment, the old lady Zheng of the Pei family and her daughter-in-law Lin were sitting in the main hall.
"I feel guilty towards the Empress. When her mother passed away, your father-in-law and I were heartbroken. She just left like that, leaving her all alone in the Shen family. I just thought that the Shen family was a big family, and there were so many things left by her mother, so this child wouldn't have to suffer..."
"The Queen will understand you and Father-in-law. Isn't it the same now? You haven't even met each other, but you are still thinking about each other. It shows that blood ties cannot be faked." Lin said.
"Hey, you don't know, I feel even more guilty now. I never thought about that child helping the family. But now that the child is the favored Jing Xiuyi, I am willing to see him. Isn't this..."
Who can say that this is not snobbish? "The queen knows it in her heart, mother-in-law, don't think so, it will hurt the feelings of relatives." Lin advised: "The Shen family sent their fifth daughter to prison again, which shows that... the queen is also suffering in her heart. But she has nowhere to express it. Although she is a generation apart, being a grandmother is always different."
Zheng wiped her tears and said, "Oh, it would be great if my daughter was still alive."
Lin sighed. She had seen the elder sister-in-law before. She was really gentle and capable. Everything was done properly, inside and outside. What a pity.
On the seventh day, Pei and Lin entered the palace.
Zizhu was waiting at the palace gate. After paying her respects, she took the two of them to the Queen's palace first.
The Queen did not meet him, but just offered him a cup of tea and said that he should go to Cuiyunxuan.
This is not surprising.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu heard that someone had arrived and went out to greet him.
It was the first time she met her grandmother and aunt.
The gray-haired old lady in front was supported by Lin, and her eyes and eyebrows vaguely resembled Shen Chuliu.
From a distance, Zheng's hands were shaking and her eyes were red.
Shen Chuliu originally thought that she would not be touched, but at this moment, her eyes were red: "Grandma, aunt."
"Greetings to Empress Jing Xiuyi." Zheng and Lin said hurriedly.
Shen Chuliu stepped forward and helped the two people up: "Let's go in and talk."
Sitting down in the main hall, Zheng looked at Shen Chuliu and tears came down.
Shen Chuliu also wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.
"It's my fault...it's my fault..." Zheng couldn't control herself.
Even though Shen Chuliu doesn't look that similar to her mother, the thing in her bones can't be changed.
"Grandma, don't cry, I'm fine." Shen Chuliu wiped her tears with a smile.
Zizhu Zirui hurriedly served tea and snacks, coaxing and persuading her.
Zheng didn't dare to lose her composure in the palace, so she wiped her tears and asked with a smile, "How is your Majesty? How is the Sixth Prince?"
"Everything is fine. Come, bring the child here." Shen Chuliu said.
Without further ado, the Sixth Prince was brought in.
Zheng was so fond of him that she hugged him and said, "What a lucky child."
Lin also smiled apologetically: "Yes, he looks like a blessed person."
"I was thinking about my grandparents and their family who had just returned to the capital, and was afraid that they might not be able to settle down, so I didn't rush to see them. Is everything settled at home now?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Zheng returned the child to the nurse reluctantly: "Thank you for your concern, my lady. Everything is fine. The things my lady gave me are all very useful."
"That's good." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Grandma, I heard that you like Meishan tea, so I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some. I don't usually drink this, but you can drink it today and take it back and drink it slowly later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Zheng was deeply moved.
"I seldom see my family members. After all, we are in the palace... I seldom see them, and I feel a little sad about it. Grandmother, please don't mind it." Shen Chuliu smiled and said that.
Even in the future, she wouldn't see the old lady often.
If she gets into trouble one day, the Shen family will bear the consequences. As for the Pei family, they didn't get to the top because of her.
Just have less contact.
Zheng naturally understood and thought that the queen was very thoughtful.
We chatted for the whole morning and didn't have any meal, but Shen Chuliu still gave us a lot of rewards.
When he heard that a marriage was going to be arranged for his cousin, he gave him some rewards.
Finally, Yuanxiao was sent to the palace gate.
After leaving the palace and getting in the car, Zheng finally let out a sigh of relief: "What do you think?"
"I'm afraid my mother-in-law will be upset if I tell you this. Your Majesty looks a bit different from my sister, but her personalities are exactly the same!"
Her elder sister-in-law who passed away earlier had the same personality: smart, decisive and restrained.
"Not 100%. She takes half from her father and half from her mother. You don't know her father, but I remember him. He was also a very capable man. He knew what he was doing best."
"What a pity. If her parents were both alive, even if only one of them was left... she wouldn't have to enter the palace. Her talent is wasted."
