Chapter 229: The Palace
Wen Xiaoyi hurriedly greeted: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor."
"Your Highness... Your Highness just remembered some things from the past." Wen Xiaoyi smiled and said, "It's embarrassing, so there's no need to tell His Majesty."
Qi Yixiu glanced at her and said, "My beloved concubine, if you don't want to talk, then don't talk. Then just walk with me."
Wen Xiaoyi quickly responded.
She is also good-looking and has a gentle personality. She also knows how to know what to say and what not to say.
So even though Qi Yixiu didn't dote on her, he still gave her face.
It was already evening when they met by chance. Naturally, Wen Xiaoyi followed the emperor to Taiji Palace, and she got to sleep with him at night as she wished.
In Cuiyunxuan, Zizhu said, "It is said that she was crying when the emperor met her."
"Well, whether you cry or laugh, it's a skill to be able to be seen by the emperor." Shen Chuliu tapped the table lightly: "The list of people accompanying us needs to be expanded."
"That's what I guessed. Maybe she saw that Meng Baolin could go, but she couldn't, so she did that." Zizhu said.
"She has been following Concubine Kangde for the past few years and has made no progress. She must be getting anxious."
"Yes, I don't know what will happen this time. I will be gone for several months."
"It all depends on each person's ability." Shen Chuliu got up and went to the child.
The next morning, Wen Xiaoyi went directly to Fengzao Palace from Taiji Palace. Sure enough, not long after, the Queen said that Wen Xiaoyi also wanted to go with her.
Ning Chongyi looked at Concubine Kangde with a half-smile: "I have always heard that the rules in Shoukang Palace are the strictest, and Concubine Kangde is the most disciplined in managing people."
Concubine Kang De acted as if she didn't understand the sarcasm: "Why can't Ning Chongyi manage his own people? If that's the case, I can help you."
Ning Chongyi was not annoyed: "How could that be? After all, I am a small person, it's very simple."
"Sister Ning, what you said is not quite right. The fact that there are so many people at Concubine Kangde's place is not the point. The point is that new people have arrived. Doesn't that mean we can't take care of the old ones?" Li Chongrong said with a smile.
"Sister Li is absolutely right." Ning Chongyi also smiled.
Concubine Kangde was the one who could sit still the most. She just smiled when she heard this and said, "My two sisters are really good at joking. Aren't the new and old people the same?"
"Then only you, Empress Kangde, knows." Ning Chongyi said, then picked up the tea, acting as if she had finished speaking.
Concubine Kangde did not respond to this either.
"Speaking of which, Empress Ning Chongyi's temper seems to be getting worse and worse. I heard that women become like this when they get older, but Ning Chongyi is not that old, right?" Zhang Baolin suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned. Where did this fool come from?
"Pfft..." Shen Chuliu laughed out loud: "Oh, newcomers nowadays really dare to say anything."
"Oh, if I hadn't looked carefully, I would have thought it was the imperial concubine who was speaking!" Ning Chongyi said angrily.
"The Imperial Concubine has passed away..." Shen Chuliu felt cold.
Everyone laughed.
Zhang Baolin's face flushed red: "I was just joking."
"Baolin is teasing Jiupin? You're so smart!" Chen Baolin rolled his eyes and thought to himself what a fool.
Zhang Baolin didn't dare to speak this time.
It was just a minor incident, and Ning Chongyi wasn't seriously affected.
Seeing that they would leave like this today, the Queen waved her hand and said, "We will leave the day after tomorrow. You don't need to come to pay your respects tomorrow. Just come early the next morning."
Everyone stood up, thanked the queen, and dispersed.
In Leshou Palace, Wen Xiaoyi stood in front of Concubine Kangde and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions for me? I will definitely take care of Sister Meng Baolin when I go."
"Wen Xiaoyi, you can naturally take care of Meng Baolin. I have nothing to worry about. If you need anything, just tell me." Concubine Kangde smiled kindly.
Wen Xiaoyi thanked him and returned to her side hall.
After waiting for a while, she didn't get any 'tonic', which was not surprising, so she went to buy jewelry with her servants.
In the main hall, Zhima asked, "Are you not delivering medicine today?"
"Even if we go to Qingliang Mountain, there will be times when we can't keep an eye on her. Just let her be." Concubine Kangde said.
"Your Majesty can send someone." Zhima said.
"That's too much. Besides, do you think she's a fool? There's no point in sending people. Now that I've supported Meng Baolin, it's normal for her to be anxious. Well, if she really wants to get pregnant, I can allow her to do so. As long as she gives birth to a princess."
If a prince was born...
It’s not easy to raise children.
Sesame said yes.
Not long after, Dou Su brought in the third prince.
When the Third Prince saw Concubine Kangde, he ran over and said, "Mother, mother!"
"Well, is Lian'er well behaved? Your mother will check your homework." Concubine Kangde held the child up by the buttocks.
"Good boy!" The third prince was happily picked up.
Concubine Kangde began to test her patiently. It was called homework, but it was just memorizing some simple things. She couldn't even pass the Thousand Character Classic.
In the side hall, the cleaning was almost done. Xing Ye helped Wen Xiaoyi wash up and poured tea for her: "Xiaoyi, why do I feel something strange over there?"
Over there, of course, is the main hall.
Wen Xiaoyi said: "She has always been scheming, so naturally she didn't show anything on her face. That's not her. I have no choice, I have to stay alive."
In fact, the reason why Liu was able to become a concubine was probably because the emperor needed someone to suppress Concubine Feng.
At least part of it was because of the prince who died young.
But Liu is indeed a scheming person, and Wen Xiaoyi is no less scheming in this respect.
But when they meet, status determines many things.
She has been cautious in the past few years, but to no avail, so she has no choice but to do something.
Soon it was time to set off.
Early in the morning, Shen Chuliu and others went to Fengzao Palace to pay their respects, and then came back to take the child to the carriage.
The child is too young, so we have to be careful. Shen Chuliu checked him personally and felt relieved.
Naturally, all four wet nurses followed. The carriage was spacious. In fact, the prince's carriage was much bigger than hers.
It can seat ten people. Now, with the children, there are only four wet nurses sitting on the cart. Yuanxiao sits on the shaft of the cart so that he can run errands when something happens.
The other little girls all sat in the back.
In Shen Chuliu's carriage were Shen Chuliu, Zirui and Zhemei.
The others who followed were behind.
She only left behind the jade clock, the golden lock, the broken red and new green, and Aunt Zhang.
However, those who stayed were rewarded with silver.
The carriage jolted for most of the day and arrived at the Qingliangshan Palace at dusk.
They entered the palace one after another according to their rank.
The entire palace is built on the mountain, and the scenery is very beautiful.
On the central axis, first is the Great Palace Gate, then the Ning'an Gate.
The emperor lived in the Haiyan Palace, and the empress lived in the Heqing Palace, which symbolizes peace and tranquility.
When she came out this time, Empress Dowager Feng said she would not come and stayed in the palace. So Empress Dowager Li did not come either.
So the residences belonging to the two Empress Dowagers were left empty.
Everyone was assigned accommodation according to their rank.
