Chapter 250 is quite fresh.
"How about Your Majesty not choosing the play but just listening to what I choose?" Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu nodded: "Of course."
When he first heard that Shen Chuliu was bringing the Sixth Prince to see the red leaves, he didn't plan to come.
But then he heard that Shen Chuliu had also invited a few actors, and he became interested.
He knew that Shen Chuliu liked beautiful clothes and jewelry, so he rewarded her from time to time.
She wants exquisite food and respectable servants. In short, she is the kind of noble lady raised in an aristocratic family.
Qi Yixiu had no feelings for such a woman, but Shen was different from other noble ladies in that she was not rigid.
Everything he says and does is to his liking, and he is very capable and will not suffer any loss.
And she could always make him feel that she was right even if she hit someone.
As for her talent, even though she never talked about poetry or books on her own initiative, one could tell from her words and actions that she was a woman of outstanding talent.
To put it bluntly, Qi Yixiu very much agrees with this.
To put it in modern terms, knowledge is like underwear. You cannot be without it, but you cannot prove that you have it to everyone you meet.
Shen Chuliu never shows off, but he never makes people feel boring either. That's the reason.
What's more, she gave birth to a prince.
He is also of noble birth.
Qi Yixiu couldn't help but pamper such a woman. Moreover, he was always gentle to his concubines, no matter what he did on the surface.
When you pamper someone, you will naturally be tolerant.
Know what she likes, and give her that. There is nothing to regret.
The emperor's private treasury is almost overflowing.
However, it was the first time that the emperor knew that Shen Chuliu also liked watching plays.
After listening to several pieces with her, the emperor gradually began to understand.
A whole morning passed just like that.
At noon, Shen Chuliu asked the actors to take a rest. The nearest pavilion was about quarter of an hour's walk away.
He also paid for the meal himself and asked the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for them, and continued to perform opera in the afternoon.
"I have prepared lunch early in the morning. Will Your Majesty eat with me?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Okay, okay, my beloved, I'll let you make all the arrangements today." Qi Yixiu said indifferently.
Soon, the meals were served in a continuous stream.
Fortunately, this pavilion is big enough.
He lowered the bamboo curtain that had been prepared in the morning in a corner and placed the Sixth Prince's stroller there. He was called to lie down in it as he was about to fall asleep.
Shen Chuliu watched as Nanny Wei rocked the child to sleep.
Also put up the gauze tent on the swing so there is no need to worry about mosquitoes or the like.
Qi Yixiu saw that Shen Chuliu had made all the arrangements and knew that the child would not be blown by the wind.
Although it is cooler now, it is noon now and you will not catch a cold.
Soon the meal was served, and the first thing Qi Yixiu saw was a plate of spicy crabs.
There are also fish, shrimp and other things, which are fresh.
Looking at the meal, Qi Yixiu smiled again: "I know now that you are here to hide from everyone and enjoy yourself. There are really a lot of arrangements."
Shen Chuliu smiled and only picked up food for Qi Yixiu.
In Qi Yixiu's eyes, it was good for the concubines to enjoy themselves. He also felt good watching them.
Live your own life and don’t spend all day thinking about vying for favor.
This is how Qi Yixiu viewed Shen Chuliu. After all, among those who had served in the harem for many years, he roughly knew who liked to fight.
As for Shen Chuliu, she usually doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but if someone provokes her, she will skin the person alive if she doesn't beat him to death.
It is also because she is so powerful that few people dare to provoke her.
Soon, lunch was over and we sat down to drink tea.
Someone brought some honeydew melon.
After Shen Chuliu suffered from eating too much watermelon before, Zi Rui stopped allowing her to eat it.
You can only change to honeydew melon.
Shen Chuliu and Qi Yixiu were chatting and eating melons. After a while, the Sixth Prince woke up.
The actors also returned on time.
Shen Chuliu picked up his son personally.
The little prince, who had just woken up, lay drowsily in his mother's arms, looking at Qi Yixiu obediently and cutely.
For more than ten minutes, I was too lazy to move.
But it only lasted about ten minutes, and then he started to act rogue.
Shen Chuliu gave him a kiss, touched his neck and found it was dry, then left him to the wet nurse.
Let him feed or play.
There was a longer opera in the afternoon, which lasted for an hour and a half.
Finally, she put away the pipa and said with a smile, "Excellent! Reward them. They have all worked hard today. Tell the kitchen to reward them with a table of food tonight as well."
"Yeah." Chusi agreed.
Several people knelt down hurriedly: "We bow to thank the emperor, bow to thank Empress Jing Xiuyi, and bow to thank the Sixth Prince."
Qi Yixiu smiled: "I haven't even mentioned the reward yet, and you're already thanking me? Then I can't help but reward you. Come, give each of you two taels of gold."
When everyone heard this, they expressed their gratitude.
Empress Jing Xiuyi has already rewarded five taels of silver to each person. The emperor's reward is indeed shocking.
In fact, five taels is quite a lot. After all, this is not a stage performance, it is very relaxed.
There are still two good meals.
On the way back, when passing by not far from Haiyan Palace, Qi Yixiu did not stop and went straight to Guanlan Pavilion.
Although the Sixth Prince had played for a whole day, he was still full of energy after taking a nap.
When I got back, I ate one third of an egg and then continued playing.
The emperor did not say anything about feeding eggs to children.
I don’t know if it’s because I don’t understand and don’t give blind instructions, or if I don’t care.
But Shen Chuliu didn't care about this. It was just as well that the emperor didn't say anything.
If I tell her, she will have to explain, which will be troublesome.
By the time the Sixth Prince returned to his room to play, everyone had already helped Qi Yixiu and Shen Chuliu change their clothes.
In the palace, everyone was extremely envious, but no one dared to come here and steal the opportunity.
That night, the emperor naturally stayed here.
Yu Xiaoyi finished her dinner and walked to help digest the food. She couldn't help but feel envious when she heard these words.
"Although it's true that encounters in the palace are not coincidental, but Empress Jing Xiuyi has gone so far, and His Majesty is still going."
"Yes, so, Empress Jing Xiuyi is really favored. I heard that Empress Li Chongrong was more favored in the past, but after the child was born, she was not as favored. Some people say it is because of her family. It can be seen that the Shen family has always been loyal. Marquis Jing'an also controls a large army." Guiyuan said.
"It's Jing Xiuyi's own ability. There are many people with better family backgrounds, but none of them are so powerful. I don't ask for anything else. I just want to raise this child well and give birth to him first. If he is a prince, maybe I will be lucky enough to gain a foothold. I just hope that this child will not be raised by anyone else, even if it is placed in Ruiqing Palace."
Yu Xiaoyi touched her belly and said, "I hope I can climb up to the ninth concubine one day."
"Don't worry, you will definitely be promoted after the birth of this baby. And there have been examples of promotions during the Chinese New Year in previous years. By the time of the Chinese New Year, your baby will be stable."
