Chapter 233: Good Health
Ning Chongyi certainly wanted to show off his outstanding talent, but he was not stupid enough to say anything excessive at this time and place.
But she couldn't afford to offend Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu was slightly surprised to see eunuchs coming up with a stove, a kettle and tea sets.
"Sister Ning called you?"
If the masters hadn't said so, the eunuchs in high positions wouldn't have delivered it specially.
"No." Ning Chongyi was also surprised.
Zi Rui, who was behind Shen Chuliu, stepped forward to ask, and saw the eunuch said that it was the emperor's intention.
Shen Chuliu raised her eyebrows slightly. Is the emperor coming up too? Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Qi Yixiu and Chusi also came up slowly.
Shen Chuliu and Ning Chongyi stood up to greet them.
"Long live the emperor."
Qi Yixiu waved his hand: "My beloved concubines, please get up. It must have been tiring to come here. You two are quite energetic."
"Before the emperor came here, did he know that Ning Chongyi and I were there?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Qi Yixiu smiled: "Of course, I don't have to come here to see the scenery, but I really want to see the beauties."
Shen Chuliu chuckled: "That's great, Sister Ning just talked to me for a long time. She said that my virtue lies in my lack of talent. I was really shocked."
Ning Chongyi was worried. Qi Yixiu asked, "Oh? What's wrong with that? Why did it scare you?"
"There's nothing wrong with what you said, even though it's a prejudice of the ancients. But what I'm afraid of is, what if I only have virtue but no looks? How can the emperor see my virtue when he looks at me?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
It was like it was really a joke.
Qi Yixiu also laughed.
Ning Chongyi smiled reluctantly: "Sister, please don't tease me. I was just saying it casually."
"Oh no, no, who doesn't know that Ning Chongyi is a learned man?" Shen Chuliu saw that the eunuchs had boiled water and stood up with a smile: "I will make tea."
"It's rare that my beloved concubine is so diligent." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
He also didn't care about the verbal dispute between Ning Chongyi and Jing Xiuyi.
He just didn't believe that all the women in the harem could live in harmony.
Speaking of which, it's not surprising that Ning dislikes Shen.
Ning Chongyi is a person who likes quietness and elegance the most, and Pian Jing Xiuyi can always be surrounded by flowers.
Qi Yixiu watched Shen Chuliu making tea with her delicate hands and thought that it was not that this woman was not elegant, she was just too lazy most of the time, right?
"How did the two beloved concubines talk about those things?" Qi Yixiu was curious.
Shen Chuliu had just finished making tea, so she pushed it towards Qi Yixiu and said with a smile, "Sister Ning is making fun of me for not reading."
"Sister Jing, how could I dare to laugh at what you said? I was just asking casually. After all, I don't really know much about clothes and jewelry, so I started gossiping. I guess I made you unhappy." Ning Chongyi said hurriedly.
Qi Yixiu was aware of the hidden meaning in these words. He picked up the tea and drank it in a good mood.
"That's a lie. Since you've read a lot, how could you not understand? The fabrics of clothes and the jewels are all in the books. If you say that you've only read the sage books, then you should take the imperial examination, otherwise your talent will be wasted."
The openness of the Dayi Dynasty resulted in no strict restrictions on what books people could read.
Unless it is something extremely evil, women don't have to read only brainwashing books.
But it seems a bit... fake for women to only read books that can help them pass the imperial examinations.
After all, the Dayi Dynasty was open, but women still could not become officials or take the imperial examinations.
Then the only options are poetry and songs.
But if he only reads poetry and songs...if Ning Chongyi really dares to create such a personality for himself, he will collapse sooner or later.
"What's the saying? There's a golden house in books. I believe that everything in this world can be found in books." Shen Chuliu added with a smile.
"Sister, you're right. I haven't read enough books." Ning Chongyi smiled.
Next, Ning Chongyi changed his strategy.
She didn't talk about this with Shen Chuliu, and instead started chatting with Qi Yixiu.
They were all questions from the book, and she asked them seriously.
Shen Chuliu thought it was funny. This attempt to attack her was a good idea, but it was a pity...
When Qi Yixiu saw her smile, he responded to Ning Chongyi, but he grabbed one of her hands and patted it gently.
Shen Chuliu didn't feel anything after this slap, but Ning Chongyi suddenly felt that he couldn't continue speaking.
He finished speaking reluctantly and picked up the tea.
Shen Chuliu was amused. Was she such a superficial impression on Ning Chongyi? But Shen Chuliu always understood one thing: she didn't need to show off in front of these women.
As for whether she was really as empty-headed as a bushel, the emperor knew it well.
What’s more…
Even if it was really a rabble, so what? The emperor had so many women, did he still require all the women in the harem to be the same?
Shen Chuliu pulled his hand out and refilled the emperor's tea. He also refilled Ning Chongyi's tea.
Ning Chongyi stopped talking, and Shen Chuliu talked to the emperor about the surrounding scenery.
She didn't quote any classics, but just chatted for a while.
It was almost noon when Qi Yixiu stood up and said, "Let's go."
The two people agreed and went down the mountain with him. It was a bit hot when they went down the mountain, but it was very cool at the foot of the mountain.
After walking for a while and reaching the main road ahead, Shen Chuliu said, "Your Majesty, I will go back first. The Sixth Prince has been turning over more and more quickly these days. I thought that he was awake at this time, and I want to go and see him turn over."
Qi Yixiu saw that she was in high spirits and smiled: "Go ahead."
After Shen Chuliu left, Ning Chongyi returned to Haiyan Palace with Qi Yixiu.
After a busy period, we sat down to rest and wait for lunch.
Ning Chongyi thought for a moment and said, "I have always admired Sister Jing's character, but I am not of that kind."
Qi Yixiu looked at her and said, "Jing Xiuyi has that kind of temper. Just know it. Don't provoke her in the future. I can't afford to offend her."
Ning Chongyi: "Yes, Sister Jing isn't that scary."
Qi Yixiu smiled: "If you don't provoke her, it will be easy. If you provoke her...it's not like you haven't seen it before."
Ning Chongyi smiled and said nothing, but there was something in her heart that she wanted to ask the emperor directly.
Your Majesty, you said that you liked my peaceful personality, but now you don't recognize me? Ning Chongyi took a deep breath while drinking tea.
Shen Chuliu returned to Guanlan Pavilion, and Zi Rui said, "This Ning Chongyi is too much."
"Just call her what she wants if she's excessive. We're not pursuing that. Change my clothes quickly and watch the kid turn over." Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Rui laughed, and hurriedly helped her change clothes with Zhe Mei, and went to the next room to see the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince was indeed struggling to turn over, and he did not show much reaction when he saw his mother.
Nothing is more important than keeping fit!
Aren’t the express deliveries for Double Eleven arriving one after another? My hands were shaking as I received the express deliveries. I met the old lady’s shocked and unbelievable eyes… No, the old lady can explain, I am really not like this normally. I don’t receive 70 or 80 express deliveries a day. Please believe me…
