Chapter 237 The Queen is Good
He looked obedient and cute, and now he was looking up at Qi Yixiu.
He couldn't say it was bad, what was this? It was just a small matter.
"Chusi, did you hear that? Why don't you go quickly?" Qi Yixiu said as he picked up the tea again.
Su Cairen suddenly smiled and said, "Amitabha, let's not talk about anything else, but thank the emperor for saving the peacock's life."
Qi Yixiu laughed, the queen laughed too, and everyone naturally laughed along.
Lady Zhen had a smile on her face, but she clenched her palms.
It seemed that it was Jing Xiuyi who spoke to Zhang Baolin for her, but didn't this also show that she was far inferior to Jing Xiuyi?
Isn’t this Jing Xiuyi’s charity?
If it were someone else, it would be fine, but how could Lady Zhen accept it? The Queen spoke up at this moment: "When I was still in the imperial court, there were very few peacocks in the palace. The climate was not suitable and they could not be raised well. There were a few cranes at that time. Although they were well fed in the palace, they still flew away every spring. But they would always come back in the end. When I came to the Great Yi Dynasty, it was said that the largest one was already fifty years old."
"That is truly a blessed crane. I heard that this crane is like a human being and lives longer than humans." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes, it is said that he can live to eighty years old." The queen said with a smile.
"That's better than others. It's rare for a person to live to seventy, and even fewer to live to eighty," Qi Yixiu said.
"We are just mortals. The Emperor and the Empress are blessed with a dragon and a phoenix, so they may live forever." Shen Chuliu said, and he laughed.
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "You have such a big mouth."
The queen smiled to give face, and everyone followed suit.
The second prince spoke after a while: "Father, I want to go down and see the peacock."
"Well, go ahead and take someone with you." Qi Yixiu waved his hand: "The eldest princess and the second princess should also go and take a look. Be careful and don't get hurt."
The two princesses also thanked the emperor.
The eldest princess was very sensible and held the second princess's hand.
Shen Chuliu accidentally saw the cautiousness in the eldest princess' eyes. This child really has no sense of existence.
She is not as talkative as her mother.
After going downstairs, the second prince glared at the eldest princess with disdain.
The eldest princess paused, not daring to go over, and just waited for the second prince to leave first.
The third princess was still ignorant and naturally didn't understand these things. She was being led by her elder sister, so she was not in a hurry.
The second princess's nurse looked uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "Come here, second princess. Look how big this peacock is. The second princess and the eldest princess are both wearing red clothes today. If you walk around a few more times, the peacock will spread its tail. That will be beautiful."
The second princess nodded and ran away excitedly.
The second prince didn’t dare to say anything about this, although he knew that the princess was just a princess. So what if she was born to the queen?
But his mother was not here, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
I don’t know if it was because of the bright clothes of the two princesses, but after a while, a peacock really spread its tail.
As soon as one opened its petals, the rest of the male peacocks could not hold back and all of them opened their petals at once, competing with each other for beauty.
The people upstairs exclaimed in amazement. These ten or so peacocks spreading their feathers were really beautiful.
In particular, after spreading their tails, the peacocks begin to compete with each other, becoming bigger and more colorful.
The second princess jumped up and down with joy: "Mother, mother, mother, look!"
The Queen waved her hand gently and said, "Look for yourself, my mother can see it."
The second princess jumped up and down, and then pulled the eldest princess: "Sister, look."
"Yes, I saw it." The eldest princess smiled shyly.
It took a long time for the peacocks to retract their tail feathers, probably because they were tired.
It's time for lunch.
Qi Yixiu came here to have fun today, so naturally a banquet was set up here.
Sure enough, there were pheasants and crabs too.
There is not only crab meat soup, but also spicy fried crabs.
This crab is very small, only slightly larger than the belly of a thumb. It is crispy and very delicious.
Shen Chuliu's shrimp and the Queen's fish were both served on the table.
Three children ate at the same table. Naturally, they didn’t eat crabs, which are cold foods, and the children are still young.
But there are both fish and shrimp.
After lunch, the table was cleared and served with tea and fruit.
There are a lot of fruits in this season, such as watermelons, and it is the first time to eat lychees. And bayberries are not out of season yet.
There are many bayberry and lychee trees around the imperial city. The bayberries served now are all quite big, and the lychees are not big, but very bright red.
It can be seen that it is a good variety.
Shen Chuliu ate a bayberry and almost died of sourness, so he closed his eyes for a while.
Su Cairen happened to see this and said softly, "It seems that my sister can't eat these bayberries. We should make them into dried bayberries, so they won't be so sour."
"It's okay, this one is just particularly sour." Shen Chuliu said after recovering.
The emperor looked at her and smiled: "Is there anything you can't do?"
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please stop laughing at me. I am incapable of doing anything. It is all thanks to your tolerance, Your Majesty and the Empress."
The queen was in a good mood and gave face: "That's a good thing to say. Give her a few more pieces of watermelon."
The melons this year are really good. Shen Chuliu thanked the queen and enjoyed them with peace of mind.
While eating, Meng Baolin suddenly started to dry heave.
Everyone was stunned, and then they thought of something.
"What's going on?" The queen was originally happy, but suddenly she felt a little annoyed. She didn't care who was pregnant.
"I don't know...I..." Meng Baolin was a little nervous and a little expectant.
"Forget it, let's ask the imperial physician to come." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
The fourth day of the New Year is busy.
Although everyone was still sitting, they all became quiet.
Li Chongrong smiled and started chatting and laughing as usual.
Gradually, everyone started talking again.
Soon, the imperial physician arrived and took Meng Baolin's pulse.
After taking the pulse, it turned out that she was pregnant.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, Meng Baolin is pregnant now, and it's been one month." The imperial physician said with a smile.
Qi Yixiu also smiled: "Very good, reward."
The imperial physician left with satisfaction.
Of course Meng Baolin was extremely happy.
Qi Yixiu said: "Since you are pregnant, go back and rest. Be careful about everything."
Meng Baolin originally thought that she could also be promoted, but she couldn't. He couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he didn't dare to show it.
After seeing Meng Baolin off, everyone gradually lost interest.
After sitting for a while, Qi Yixiu stood up and said let's go.
Everyone naturally agreed, except the second princess, who tugged at the queen's clothes and said, "Mother, I want to see more..."
The queen pinched her cheek and said, "Then ask Aunt Emei to accompany you."
"Yeah." The second princess nodded vigorously, and the bag on her head swayed.
"If the eldest princess wants to watch it, she has to wait a while. The second prince must go back to study." The queen said again.
"Yes, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger sister." The eldest princess said hurriedly.
"Thank you for your concern, mother. My son is going to study." The second prince also said hurriedly.
Shen Chuliu wanted to laugh just by looking at it. The queen is the best. No matter whose child it is, don’t they all have to call her mother? (End of this chapter)
