Chapter 244 I have a heart
A young Hanlin whispered that everyone knew that they should not talk about concubines casually, so they spoke carefully.
Pei Ji said softly: "My aunt is the biological mother of Madam Jing Xiuyi. Because she passed away early and the Pei family has been exiled in recent years, not many people in the capital know about her."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and hurried back to their residence with him.
After all, it’s not a good idea to stay outside Haiyan Palace for too long.
It was only after returning to the master that I saw the pair of fine white jade pendants. They had only been cut into the shape of jade pendants and had not yet been carved.
This must have been asked for them to carve the patterns themselves.
Pei Ji thought, the queen did have a good intention after all.
Shen Chuliu had lunch with Qi Yixiu. Qi Yixiu was a little tired, so he called a eunuch to massage his shoulders.
Shen Chuliu was taking a nap here. This was his first time staying here since coming to the palace.
By the time Qi Yixiu finished the massage, Shen Chuliu had already fallen asleep.
Qi Yixiu looked at him with a smile and fell asleep too.
In the afternoon, Shen Chuliu got up, and the emperor was still asleep, so he walked out of Haiyan Palace and walked around the back.
There are a lot of bougainvilleas planted here, all of them are pink and white, very beautiful.
Shen Chuliu looked at it for a while and then picked one to wear.
When she returned, Qi Yixiu had also gotten up.
"My beloved concubine has been out for a while, and you are so cruel to destroy the flowers?" Qi Yixiu said after he had just changed his clothes.
"Did Your Majesty sleep well this night? Have you had trouble sleeping at night these days?" Shen Chuliu poured him tea.
"Well, I've been thinking a lot these days, and now it's over. Is Pei Ji in the Hanlin Academy your cousin?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"That's right. Just now I asked someone to send him a pair of jade pendants. Doesn't this mean he is getting married?" Shen Chuliu explained.
Qi Yixiu nodded: "This Pei Ji is very knowledgeable about literature and history."
"I heard that during these years of studying, he refused to get married or have anyone in his room. He only wanted to achieve success and fame. Now he has finally achieved his wish."
In fact, there was another reason why Pei Ji was unwilling to marry. Since he was going to move his whole family to the imperial city, he didn't want to marry someone who lived too far away. According to what Zheng said, Pei Ji felt that it would be difficult for the girl to meet her parents if they were too far away from each other.
This is a very humane statement, but I don't know whether it is true or not.
Shen Chuliu naturally stayed in Haiyan Palace. He came so early in the morning, so it would be inappropriate to call him back.
At night, everyone went to rest.
Yu Xiaoyi drank some porridge as her appetite was not very good.
"Xiaoyi, ask the imperial physician to take a look. I'm worried that you are pregnant." Guiyuan said worriedly.
"Silly girl, if you are really pregnant, can you tell anyone? Isn't Meng Baolin's previous experience scary enough?" She shook her head: "Let's wait and see. We'll talk about it in a few days. Even if you are sure that you are pregnant, I can't tell anyone before three months."
"Yes, then we servants will be careful." Guiyuan responded.
Speaking of Meng Baolin, who wouldn't be afraid? That man is already useless.
The Meng Baolin they were talking about is now unable to move freely and can only solve some problems every day.
The rest of the time I feel drowsy and have no strength at all.
She couldn't sleep at the moment, so she leaned on the pillow and talked with the servants.
After the initial shock and despair, I have now recovered a little, and I know that my body is now useless.
The imperial physician didn't say whether she could have children in the future, but with her body like this...how could she dare? Qi'er served her a bowl of hot ginger soup.
Now she is left, but she has lost a lot of blood and feels cold all the time.
"How do you feel, Baolin? If it doesn't work, I'll give you a hot water bottle?" Qi'er asked.
"No need. It's still summer after all. If you keep doing this, how are you going to survive the winter?" Meng Baolin said weakly.
"By that time, you will be well and naturally won't be afraid of the cold anymore." Qi'er said with a smile.
Meng Baolin touched his belly and said, "It's a pity that I was harmed by that bitch, otherwise how could I have come to this point?"
"Don't think about it, Baolin. That person is gone. When you recover, you can return to the palace and start all over again."
Meng Baolin stopped talking about this and just asked, "Who is sleeping with me today?"
She had asked every day for the past half month, and every day she said that the emperor rested alone in Haiyan Palace.
But today was different: "Go back to Baolin, today it was Empress Jing Xiuyi. She said she went to serve the pens and ink in the morning and stayed for a day."
"After all, he is favored." Meng Baolin felt sad. After her miscarriage, the emperor never came to see her once.
Although it is also a reward, can it be the same?
Without the hope of having an heir and the emperor refusing to come, she really didn't know what to do.
"Baolin, don't think too much. Your health is the most important thing." Guiyuan said hurriedly.
Meng Baolin sighed and lay down.
No matter how much you think about it, she almost lost her life and now she can only be taken care of.
Before returning to the palace, it would be good to be able to go out safely.
The next morning, because it was close, Shen Chuliu was the first to go to Heqing Palace.
The palace maids in Heqing Palace served her and praised her for coming early.
"Haiyan Palace is close." Shen Chuliu responded directly.
Soon, other people also arrived one after another. Since the queen didn't come and the others were of lower status than her, she was too lazy to get up.
The absence of two people didn't seem to matter much.
However, Su Cairen has recovered and now comes to pay her respects every day, unlike before when she only came when there was something important.
After the queen came out, everyone paid their respects in turn.
The Queen did say something: "Earlier, the Empress Dowager Li said she wanted to watch a play, so she asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange a group of people. Now they are all trained. One group is in the palace, and another group came here. They arrived today. I mean, let them rest for a day and then perform the next day. What do you think?"
"Oh, this is good. I'm just bored." Li Chongrong was happy. She loved watching plays.
It’s just because the previous emperor didn’t like it, so there is no opera in the palace.
No one mentioned this after the emperor ascended the throne, until Empress Dowager Li did this.
"Well, the theater managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite capable. They said there are thousands of plays to choose from. We can arrange them when the time comes and have a good day of singing." The queen was obviously also interested.
Everyone was quite happy, and Shen Chuliu was also interested in the opera in the imperial city of Dayi Dynasty.
Some of them are similar to Yue Opera and are quite charming.
After everyone dispersed, arrangements were made.
After all, watching a play is a chance to get close to the emperor. So, wouldn't they have to compete with each other for beauty? Besides, it's a whole day, so wouldn't they have to change clothes at least once? And jewelry once? Of course, those who can come to the palace must have something good to show.
Ancient women lacked spiritual world, so it was normal for them to have such excitement in their pastimes.
Shen Chuliu followed the crowd. With Zizhu and the others to arrange things for her, she just went to play with the child without any concern.
Qi Yixiu was invited by the Queen, so naturally he agreed. It would be comfortable to come to the palace.
So on June 25th, everything was arranged in the theater.
