Chapter 257 Returning to the Palace
This scene made many people in the palace think about it.
However, Shen Chuliu never wasted good time, and he listened to operas and had meals leisurely.
Then he watched the moon with the emperor, and finally took the emperor back to Guanlan Pavilion.
The next morning, the emperor returned to Haiyan Palace, and Shen Chuliu went to the queen's bedroom to pay his respects.
If Li Chongrong didn't say anything, basically no one in the palace dared to say anything.
So even though everyone had something to say, they could only do nothing because their fighting power was not matched.
The Queen didn't care how favored Shen Chuliu was. After all, when Concubine Yi was still alive, she had seen the grand scene of serving the Queen in bed for twenty days a month and receiving rewards every day.
Now Shen Chuliu's favor is different from that of Concubine Yi. Although the time she has spent in the emperor's bedchamber is not as long, she has a son and a family background.
There may be threats, but the queen doesn't care about that.
She gave up the idea of having a child and believed in her own judgment. Jing Xiuyi was not a fool like Concubine Feng Shufei and would not think about things that she shouldn't think about.
So naturally it doesn’t matter whether she is favored or not.
If she is favored, she will be given some face, but she will never flatter the emperor just because he favors her.
If the emperor doesn't favor her, she will take back the face she has, and she will not humiliate her just because the emperor doesn't favor her.
Soon, it was time to return to the palace.
Shen Chuliu's things have been packed up and sent back in two trucks.
Most of them are specialties from the imperial palace, including food and entertainment, as well as gifts from the emperor. When the time comes to return, there will be nothing left to take with you.
Everything was almost ready, and at the early morning of the sixth day, they set out for the palace on time.
It was still dark when the Sixth Prince was taken out of his warm quilt and started crying.
The little prince who was disturbed also had a good temper, right? Shen Chuliu was also very sleepy and had no mood to eat.
When I heard the baby crying, I went over to see that the nanny had already dressed the child and wrapped him in a small blanket.
I'm coaxing her.
"Come, let mother take a look." Shen Chuliu stretched out her arms and hugged the Sixth Prince.
It didn't work at first. The Sixth Prince kept crying and closed his eyes because he was so sleepy.
Shen Chuliu buried his head in her arms: "Go to sleep, go to sleep, mother will hold you while you sleep, be good and don't cry."
Mainly because he was too sleepy, the Sixth Prince fell asleep sobbing soon after.
Shen Chuliu carried him directly into her own carriage, which was originally hers.
After getting on the carriage, she saw that the child was fast asleep and then put him in the quilt that had been prepared long ago. Zi Rui even warmed the quilt with a hot water bottle, fearing that the child would get cold. After all, it was September.
After the Sixth Prince was put down, he pouted and looked like he was about to cry. Shen Chuliu then lay down and hugged him, coaxing him softly: "Go to sleep, don't cry, your mother is here too."
"Master, if you are really sleepy, just take a nap." Zizhu whispered.
Shen Chuliu simply raised his head.
Zizhu quickly took off all the jewelry on her head and then lay down next to her son.
Once I covered myself with the thick quilt, the rocking of the carriage made me feel more comfortable and I soon fell into a deep sleep.
The road was relatively easy to travel, so it wasn't too bumpy. The mother and daughter didn't wake up until three hours later.
Shen Chuliu was fine, but the Sixth Prince hadn't slept like this in the past two months.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and then he peed his mother's clothes.
After a chaotic cleanup, even Qi Yixiu in front knew that the Sixth Prince had wet the bed...
After tidying up and feeding the hungry little prince, Shen Chuliu was in the mood to eat some snacks.
By the time everything was ready, a whole morning had passed.
The Sixth Prince is not going to make trouble this time when he returns like he did last time. He doesn't want to stay in the carriage. It's too uncomfortable, okay?
So they started making a fuss.
It wasn't just him, the Fourth Prince was also crying loudly.
The two brothers were both strong little guys, and they made the imperial entourage very noisy.
The cries came one after another.
Qi Yixiu also laughed when he heard this: "These two kids are quite energetic."
The emperor must be indifferent to the second prince, as the second prince was currently riding a horse following his father.
The Third Prince was not in good health, and Concubine Kangde was watching him closely, so the Emperor didn’t see him very often. The Fifth Prince was even more so, as he was kept in Ruiqing Palace, so he didn’t see him very often, and he didn’t take the initiative to visit him.
That is, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince, who were in good health and whose mothers were favored, and whom he had seen a lot.
So it’s naturally more realistic.
Perhaps at this stage, I feel most involved.
So when I hear them crying, I can only feel happy, because after all, fathers still hope that their sons are healthy.
Probably they were tired of crying at noon, and by the evening both children stopped crying and accepted their fate.
The one who is clinging to his wet nurse is the Fourth Prince, and the one who is playing with toys is the Sixth Prince.
Shen Chuliu collapsed in the carriage, "If you cry like this every day, I will be really worried to death."
"How could that be? Our Sixth Prince is not used to it. When he comes next year, he will be older, sensible and able to listen to us. He won't cry like this. The Sixth Prince doesn't cry like this usually." Zi Rui liked the Sixth Prince the most, so she was the best at making excuses for him.
While coaxing his master, he was also playing with toys with the little master.
Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes: "Go away, you guys just keep pampering me!"
Zi Rui laughed at her: "Look at you, the Sixth Prince is the child, why are you trying to snatch the child away?"
Shen Chuliu sighed, "Forget it, I don't want to bother with you guys anymore. Zizhu, isn't it almost time? It's time to get dressed."
After returning, I will pay my respects to the two Empress Dowagers.
"I just asked, it will take a while, please relax for a while, there is no rush." Zizhu said.
Fortunately, it was easier after the child stopped crying.
About half an hour later, Zizhu helped Shen Chuliu change her clothes and do her makeup.
Soon, the carriage slowed down and was about to enter the city.
It was already getting dark.
When the carriages finally entered the palace and Dayi Gate, they separated. The carriages of the emperor and the empress went straight into Zhengyang Gate, while the carriages of the concubines and the princes and princesses went into the palace from the left and right Xuanmen.
After entering, the carriage stopped and people were about to get off.
Shen Chuliu asked someone to carry the Sixth Prince back first, while he took people to the Empress Dowager's palace.
Upon seeing this, Li Chongrong also asked someone to take the fourth prince back.
Soon, the group went to the palace of Empress Dowager Feng. No matter what, the legitimate son was the eldest.
So every time he paid a visit, he would pay his respects to Empress Dowager Feng first and then Empress Dowager Li.
When Empress Dowager Feng left, the Emperor, Empress and Queen arrived earlier, and as expected, the Second Princess was not there either.
He brought the eldest princess and the second prince with him.
Everyone paid their respects and asked how they were. Empress Dowager Feng asked a few routine questions and then sent someone to go to Empress Dowager Li.
She has been smart all her life, so she naturally wouldn't do something that would deliberately drag out time. It's boring.
During these few months when the Emperor and others were not in the palace, the relationship between Empress Dowager Feng and Empress Dowager Li became harmonious again, as if the things that happened in the past had never happened.
Soon, everyone went to Empress Dowager Li.
