Chapter 256 I don’t know how
She naturally knew about Lu Baolin in the palace.
It was rare for someone to give birth to a prince and still end up like that. Even a talented person with a poor background couldn't do that.
Fang Xiaoyi didn't dare to refute anything and left angrily.
In fact, I didn't know exactly who the emperor was waiting for, but I knew it when I saw Shen Chuliu.
It's just a momentary verbal pleasure.
Shen Chuliu entered Qianfan Tower and looked up to see Qi Yixiu sitting and drinking tea.
While still downstairs, she bowed and greeted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Qi Yixiu raised his hand: "Come up."
Shen Chuliu slowly supported Zizhu's hand and went upstairs.
"When I saw it, I thought it was a gold ingot that came in. It is really golden." Qi Yixiu looked at it carefully. Although the dress was gorgeous, she could match it very well.
Saying that she was a gold ingot was obviously a joke.
"That's nothing. When I first entered the palace, the emperor was willing to wear such gorgeous robes and crowns during the New Year. The emperor's face looked even more heroic and handsome from the perspective of the crown."
"The upper part is black, the lower part is purple, and the twelve-chapter pattern has the heaven, earth, sun, moon, stars, and mountains all on it. Once I saw it, I could never forget it. Now, what I am wearing is nothing more than a few butterflies. Why did the emperor laugh at me? I dressed up happily to show the emperor, but it is not enough to be bullied on the road, the emperor wants to bully me, I will not tolerate it!"
Shen Chuliu stamped his feet and snorted.
Qi Yixiu is simply amazing.
He liked the fact that this woman could talk.
Obviously, he came here to complain and show off, but he started by praising him as if he were the best in the world.
If you change someone who has no self-control, then you will be given everything.
"Okay, okay, I shouldn't laugh at you. But you deserve to be beaten. I just don't believe that anyone among these people in this palace dares to bully you." Qi Yixiu thought to himself, it's a good thing that you don't bully others on your own initiative.
"Look at how protective the emperor is. I actually praised you in vain." Shen Chuliu snorted.
"Okay, okay, let me hear it. Who is so brave as to bully you?" Qi Yixiu laughed and pulled her to sit in his arms: "Tell me if I can help you. If they are too powerful, I am afraid I will have to retreat."
"Hmph, I don't care. Fang Xiaoyi disgusts me and I'm unhappy." Shen Chuliu turned her head away from Qi Yixiu.
"You, you really hold a grudge." Qi Yixiu laughed out loud.
"It's the fourth day of the New Year. Has Fang Xiaoyi been here?" He was sitting upstairs with a wide view, but he didn't notice.
"In reply to the emperor's words, that's right. I said the emperor said that no one is allowed to come in casually, so Fang Xiaoyi left." Chusi bowed.
"Well, pass on the message that Fang Xiaoyi offended a high-ranking official and was punished to write the palace rules ten times. Is that okay? This will make people say that I am extremely partial." Qi Yixiu squeezed Shen Chuliu's hand.
"What delicious food has the emperor arranged?" Shen Chuliu instantly changed the subject.
"I asked someone to arrange a play. Wouldn't you like it? How about listening to the play under the moon?" Seeing that she changed the subject, Qi Yixiu didn't continue.
Just pinched her cheek.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Since it has been arranged, what should we sing? I don't want to hear any songs about loyalty to the country or foolish filial piety."
"It's up to you, just sing whatever you want." Qi Yixiu was in a good mood.
"Then... why not start now? There's no need to go on stage. Just ask a few people to sing The West Chamber?" Shen Chuliu looked at Qi Yixiu.
"The West Chamber is good, but isn't it too sad?" Qi Yixiu asked, patting her on the back.
"It's just a play. It's fine as long as it's pleasant to listen to. Whether it's sad or not is not that important."
"Okay, pass it on." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Soon, tea and snacks were served, and the actors also arrived one after another.
Soon, the sound of opera singing and melodious background music could be heard from Qianfan Building.
The concubine closest to here is Zhen Meiren in Baihua Pavilion.
As she listened to the melodious opera, she became curious: "Where is the opera being performed?"
Qiu Yi and Qiu Yu actually knew everything, but they didn't tell her because they were afraid that she would be upset.
Now that the beauty has asked, I have no choice but to tell her.
"My lord, it was Qianfanlou who said that the Emperor invited Empress Jing Xiuyi to watch a play. Maybe the message was passed on." Qiu Yi said carefully.
"Does the emperor really like watching plays so much? I didn't know that." Lady Zhen stroked the teacup in her hand and said, "Jing Xiuyi is so lucky."
"Master, don't worry about it. This is just temporary. After all, she has a prince." Qiu Yi whispered, "This is just in the temporary palace. She is a little more indulgent. When she returns to the palace, won't it be the same?"
"Yes, at that time, the Queen Mother would not allow such decadent music." Qiuyu said.
"It was my aunt who suggested this opera. My aunt also loves watching operas." Lady Zhen said indifferently.
Qiu Yu knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he mumbled, "Yes."
"I guess she will be the one sleeping in the palace today." Lady Zhen snorted and said nothing more.
Naturally, she was not convinced. Jing Xiuyi had children and a good family background, and she herself was also a powerful person.
How could she accept that the beautiful Ke Ying could also walk ahead of her?
"Let's go back to the palace soon." Lady Zhen said softly after a while.
When she entered the palace, she felt that she did not need to rely on her aunt to be favored.
But during these few months in the palace, she began to doubt herself again and again.
For several months, she has only had sex with him a few times.
She wanted to get pregnant before the newlyweds did, but she failed to do so.
Qiu Yi and Qiu Yi didn't dare to speak, they just stood by.
Another person who heard the singing was Meng Baolin in Fuhua Pavilion.
She continued to lie there. On the fifteenth she struggled to get up for a day, but the next day she lay down again.
Fang Xiaoyi hasn't come back yet, and she is the only master in Fuhua Pavilion at this moment.
She lay on the soft couch in front of the window, listening to the sounds coming from Qianfan Building.
'Instantly, the cups and plates were in a mess, the carriage went east, the horse went west, the two were hesitant, the sunset was over the green mountains. I wonder where he stayed today...'
"The emperor would actually listen to such a play." Meng Baolin said softly, supporting his head.
"It must be what Empress Jing Xiuyi wants to hear. Why would the Emperor listen to such a play?" Qi'er said.
"If she wants to listen, the emperor will listen, but it's better if the emperor likes to listen." Meng Baolin closed his eyes again: "It's nice to listen to. When we were still at home, we didn't need to listen to operas like The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion. After entering the palace, we heard it."
"You are in much better health now. When you return to the palace, there will naturally be opera performances in the palace. We have an opera troupe this year, and there will be opera performances during the New Year. You can listen to them to your heart's content then." Qi'er pulled the blanket for her.
Meng Baolin smiled but still didn't open his eyes.
Listen or not, she is lucky to have recovered her health, what else can she do?
"I'm about to go back to the palace. Of those who followed me out, few have made it big. I'm useless, Zhang Baolin is dead. The other newcomers can't make it big either. After I return to the palace, it's still the same as it should be. But Yu Xiaoyi is pregnant, I don't know what to do when she goes back."
