Chapter 251 Can't Think of a Chapter Title
Guiyuan looked at her master's face and coaxed him with a smile: "After all, Meng Baolin's previous incident was embarrassing, and Han Xiaoyi's pregnancy is also unstable. When the New Year comes, you will be in good health and the baby will be well. Once the emperor is happy, he will promote you. When you give birth to a child, you will be promoted again and become a beauty. Although you can't raise children by yourself, at least you can receive the emperor alone."
Yu Xiaoyi was coaxed into being happy, at least for now she had hope.
Isn't that what women in the palace do, pampered, and have children.
Being pampered is good, but without offspring, it’s all just illusion.
Just like the Concubine Yi who died of illness before, no matter how great the grace was, it was gone just like that.
Ever since he went to see the red leaves, the Sixth Prince has been eager to go out.
Every day he would insist on going out for a long time.
Shen Chuliu followed his lead: "If you feel cold, wear more clothes and go out for a walk. It's not good to keep yourself stuffy."
Babies raised in a sealed environment have poor resistance.
In particular, the more cautious you are, the more likely you are to get sick. It is good to get in touch with nature.
At least a lot of things like children's allergies can be avoided.
So far, no plants have been found to which he is allergic.
The wet nurses took turns taking the Sixth Prince out, sometimes it was Zi Rui and Zi Zhu who took the lead.
When his mother was not with him, he didn't go far, but just walked around Guanlan Pavilion.
The other concubines knew that this was the residence of Empress Jing Xiuyi, so they didn't dare to come here easily to commit suicide.
Even if they came, no one would dare to approach the Sixth Prince. If such a young child had any small problem, it would bring bad luck to others.
So Shen Chuliu was also very relieved.
Time passed quickly and Mid-Autumn Festival was soon here.
Because it was a temporary palace, there was no ceremony as usual. The banquet was only held at the Haiyan Palace at night. During the day, people were free to do their own things.
At noon, the emperor gave out dishes and moon cakes to people everywhere.
After Shen Chuliu ate, she slept for a while. When she woke up, everyone in the room was busy helping her with clothes.
No idea what they were going to do to amaze her, but she didn't resist and just let them do what they wanted.
The aesthetic tastes of these girls are very much in line with her taste, but she can just do the facial makeup herself in the end.
In the afternoon, everyone gathered in Haiyan Palace.
The emperor and empress entered the room at the same time, and everyone greeted them.
Because most of the women in the harem are still in the palace, Shen Chuliu sat closer to the front today.
Qi Yixiu saw her at first sight, he couldn't help but notice her, she was dressed so brightly.
She was wearing a concubine-colored skirt and a light pink gauze dress. On her bun was a pair of hairpins made of red gold and rubies. The tassels on the hairpins swayed, one on the left and one on the right.
Around her neck hung a red gold hollow Ruyi flower necklace. There was nothing hanging on it, but it was inlaid with tiny red rubies.
On her ears are Ruyi dragonfly earrings made of red gold filigree inlaid with pearls and rubies.
On her hands were two pairs of bracelets, one pair was made of pure gold and inlaid with rubies, and was obviously a set with the necklace.
There is also a pair of bracelets with mutton-fat white jade carved with Ruyi patterns. On the index finger of the left hand is a ring with red gold Ruyi patterns inlaid with tourmaline.
Qi Yixiu rarely saw people wearing a ring on this finger.
Today, the most valuable thing on her body is not the jewelry. The jewelry is also valuable, as it is all made of pure gold.
The clothes she was wearing were made of top-grade snow-brocade, which was much more valuable than Yunjin or Shujin.
The output of this cloth was only a few dozen pieces a year, so naturally it was all sent to the palace.
Because of their bright colors, they were not suitable for the emperor, so they were all given to concubines.
The two Empress Dowagers were old and the gifts were no longer suitable for them, so most of them were given to young concubines.
And this fabric has a characteristic that as long as it is not exposed to water, it can be kept for decades and still look new.
But once the clothes are made and started to be washed, they can only be washed five or eight times at most, then they are useless.
If you don't wash it carefully, it will be ruined after three times.
Therefore, it is also very luxurious.
Since Shen Chuliu entered the palace, she has obtained seven or eight pieces of clothing. She doesn't feel sorry for them at all. She will wear them when she can. What are she waiting for?
Seeing her dressed like this, Qi Yixiu thought that there were still a lot of them in his private storehouse, and he would reward her with a few more later.
After the clan members paid their respects, Shen Chuliu immediately saw Shen Biqing.
She was the concubine of Prince Wei's mansion, so naturally she was qualified to enter the palace.
However, seeing Shen Biqiong was not a big deal. The key point was that there was a little boy beside her.
This was quite shocking. The boy was about four or five years old and looked quite well behaved. But King Wei had no children...
Shen Chuliu was puzzled but he couldn't ask anyone at this time, so he could only wait and see.
Of course, she wasn't the only one who noticed this.
However, not long after the banquet started, Prince Wei himself came out with the child to thank the emperor for his grace.
"I have been childless for many years, but now I finally have an adopted one. I thank the emperor for his support." King Wei pulled the child to kneel down and said.
King Wei was over fifty years old, and had long been drained of his body by alcohol and sex. He looked skinny and thin, like a seriously ill person. His eyelids were swollen, his face was sallow, and his hair was so thin that he could not wear a hair crown.
Shen Chuliu thought that it was really miserable for men in this era to be bald, and they couldn’t even wear their hair in a bun.
It’s not like the Qing Dynasty, where if you were bald, you would just shave it and then make a fake whip and tie it to your hat.
"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. It's just a trivial matter. I can't bear to see your bloodline cut off." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
It’s not that Prince Wei didn’t work hard in the past, and the concubines in his mansion were also amazing.
In the early years, some people did give birth to sons, but they all died young.
It has been several years, and no one in his house has been able to get pregnant. Although the imperial physician said it in a tactful way, his meaning was clear, he probably couldn't make a woman pregnant anymore.
In this case, if we only have one child, our family line will be extinct.
There was no ancient person who didn't care about this.
So they chose a relatively distant branch of the royal family, at least the family name was Qi.
Since he has no parents, it's natural that he's suitable.
The princess has been bedridden for many years. Moreover, the prince has been absurd for many years. The princess gave a lot of advice in her early years, and the prince is fed up with it.
In addition, the princess's son and daughter both died, making her even more out of favor.
Who would be willing to let her raise the child now? Shen Biqiong was powerful. She had only been in the palace for a few years, and now the princess had no say. Now that she had a son, she would naturally raise him.
Not to mention this one, even the Princess Ruyi who married to Chao Kingdom before is so old now, doesn’t she also call her mother?
Therefore, the son adopted by the King of Wei officially belonged to the concubine Shen. It was directly recorded on the jade disc that he was Shen's son.
Fortunately, King Wei was not a man who followed rules, and it was not the first time that people accused him of favoring his concubine over his wife.
It’s just that no matter how powerful the concubines were in the past, they could only receive temporary favor and some things.
Unlike Shen Biqiong, who has already arranged the rest of her life.
