Chapter 26 Thoughts of All Parties
"Sister misunderstood me. I really shouldn't have said those words just now. It caused so much misunderstanding. It was just a moment of desperation." Lu Xiaoyi said anxiously.
"I've been in the palace for more than a year, and I'm actually a fool." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I'm used to not looking down on others."
After saying that, he took Zi Rui's hand and walked away, without giving Lu Xiaoyi any face.
A hypocrite is always more terrifying than a real villain.
She would rather fight with Li Baolin openly like this.
"Chu Liu." Yao Baolin came forward: "Are you okay?"
"It's all good if the emperor promotes me. Let's go back." Shen Chuliu didn't want to say more.
Yao Baolin was afraid that Shen Chuliu would doubt him, so he said, "Today's plot is very simple. I guess the people behind it didn't intend to drag you down. I guess someone is taking the blame."
Shen Chuliu smiled and deliberately didn't respond.
The two of them returned to Cuiyunxuan.
When she left, she was still Xiaoyi, but when she came back she became a talented person, which is considered progress.
Although a sixth-rank talent is nothing, it is still a step forward by being close to a beauty.
"I was so scared." Zi Rui patted her chest as she returned to her room.
Zizhu, Jimei, and Chisu all came over. It was Zirui who told the story again.
The three girls all had expressions of fear on their faces.
"What is Li Bao Lin An's intention! She actually instigated the emperor to search the palace! Sooner or later, she will be searched!" Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Okay, I'll remember what you said."
Chi Su lowered his head in embarrassment: "I was in a hurry at the moment."
"No need to say that. You should check our place carefully. Li Baolin's words were probably just to embarrass me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted. But we still have to take a look, just in case someone really put something unclean here." Shen Chuliu said.
The four maids couldn't sit still, so only Jimei was left to serve, while the rest went to search.
I worked on this for the whole morning, but didn't gain much.
I also tactfully reminded Yao Baolin that she had also searched her place.
Cuiyunxuan doesn't have a main seat now, but the search has been almost complete.
It seems that Li Baolin really just wants to embarrass Shen Chuliu.
"Go serve the food." Shen Chuliu was also hungry from all the work, so he said, "I've been promoted. Although I haven't officially issued an order yet, I guess the kitchen will have to serve me more food."
Zizhu smiled and said yes, then went to the kitchen.
In Fuyang Palace, Chanjuan said while hanging her legs for Concubine Feng: "Your Majesty, please don't think too much. We didn't intend to call that Concubine Shen anyway."
"It doesn't matter. She's a talented lady now! No matter what, shouldn't she be a beauty or a concubine?" Concubine Feng snorted.
"Your Highness! Even if she is a beauty, a concubine, or even a Zhaoyi, so what? You have the Second Prince, and she is the Consort Shu, one of the four concubines. She is also the niece of Empress Dowager Feng. Who are you? How can you bother with her?"
Chanjuan was smart and very good at serving Concubine Feng. There was nothing she couldn't listen to.
This is also the reason why Chanjuan got the upper hand even though Jinxiu was the one brought from home.
"Your Majesty, think about it. Apart from the Empress, only you and Concubine Yi are in high positions in the palace. Although Concubine Yi is also a concubine, how does this second-rank concubine compare to the first-rank one? She has a poor family background and no children. She is favored now, but what about the future?"
"You two are the only ones in high positions. This may seem good at first glance, but it won't be a good thing in the long run."
"How is it not a good thing?" Concubine Feng was unhappy again.
"Your Highness, think about it. You are the mother of the Second Prince. In the harem of the Dayi Dynasty, even the Empress may not be that honorable. You are truly honorable and respectable. Aren't the people below jealous?"
"As it is today, if something happens in the palace, you can't escape it. There are only two people in the position of the Nine Concubines. One is not smart, and the other has a bad temper. Concubine Yi dare not confront you. This is a good thing, but the second prince is not grown up yet."
Who dares to say that the three-year-old Second Prince will grow up?
Chan Juan didn't say anything. She just said, "No matter who comes up, they can't share your benefits. No matter what, the Second Prince will always be the one taking the front seat."
"The Queen is pregnant. If she gives birth to a legitimate son..." Concubine Feng gritted her teeth.
"Your Highness, Master! Think about it, the Queen has been childless for so many years, how could it be so easy for her to suddenly have one? Even if she did, even if it was a legitimate son, wouldn't it be extremely difficult for her, a princess of a court country, to help her son become the Crown Prince?"
"Besides, why bother with those two? Just give birth, no matter how many children you have, they will all be behind our Second Prince. Just let them go and ask the concubines below to come up. If something happens to the Queen, there will be many people who can't explain it."
There's no need to do anything, just ask people to keep an eye on Fuyang Palace.
"Okay, I know you are loyal to me." Concubine Feng sighed, "Just wait, I will mention it during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are a few who can be promoted."
"Since Your Majesty has said so, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, and even die for you." Chanjuan smiled and rubbed Concubine Feng's legs.
Concubine Feng patted her and said, "You don't have to do these things. Just remind me in front of me. As long as I and the Second Prince are fine, you're fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll go and show you some desserts. It's not too hot today, so you'll want to have something sweet." Chanjuan said.
Concubine Feng nodded and told her to leave.
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen vomited again and listened to Emei talking about what happened in the morning in a listless manner.
"Lu Xiaoyi is too anxious." Emei said finally.
"The emperor seems to like Li Baolin very much now." The queen said lightly.
"From what I see, the Emperor has indeed remembered Lady Shen," Peilan said.
"Of course. Don't you know the emperor's temper? He doesn't like women who are too stupid and weak. Among the newcomers, Lu Xiaoyi is smart and thoughtful. Shen Cairen is bold and dares to argue. Li Baolin looks anxious, but she may not be really anxious. They all have their own means." The queen sneered: "I am not anxious. Anyway, I am the queen no matter what. Let's see if Feng Su is anxious!"
"Today's incident was caused by that person. But I don't know who he wants to plot against. According to this servant, your Majesty doesn't need to worry. Anyway, they don't dare to plot against you at this time. An Baolin won't believe some rumors. The rumors have been stopped by the emperor's order and cannot be spread. You just need to take care of your baby. Your belly is the most important thing."
The queen touched her belly which was motionless. "Send someone to An Baolin to deliver some things and tell her that I am not interested in her child. All the children in the harem must call me mother."
"Yes." Peilan and Emei responded and arranged for someone to go.
