Chapter 272 No Disdain
But how can such a good thing happen just because you want it? Before this, of course, whoever goes further and climbs higher will be the winner.
The one from the old family is just an aunt, so whether it is Jing Xiuyi or Shen Baolin, they are both nieces.
She is able to treat everyone equally and look at things rationally.
Liang has lost his sense of proportion now.
"Liang, your sister-in-law is right. The Shen family should be the priority in everything! It's okay that Biyu is ignorant, but you don't understand either?" Qu frowned.
"Madam, Biyu is having a hard time now, don't you care?" Liang secretly hated Song for being a fence-sitter. Didn't she agree to Biyu entering the palace in the first place? "No matter how Madam, you are just an outsider. How can you manage the affairs of the palace? Why don't you send a letter to Biyu and ask her to be patient and take His Majesty's wishes into consideration. The Marquis and the masters are all working hard outside. If we women are a drag at home, how can the Marquis and the masters cope with the decades of military service?" Song frowned.
This was a heavy statement, and Qu nodded: "The elders are sensible, it is indeed true."
Liang gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, it would be good for the old lady to... meet with Madam Jing Xiuyi. The way she is acting now does not necessarily mean much good to the Shen family."
"You are getting more and more unreasonable. Without the Shen family, Empress Jing Xiuyi would be nothing but a mirror-like lake and a moon in the water. She also grew up in the mansion and entered the palace at the age of sixteen. Does your sister-in-law think she is a fool?"
As for whether they are close or not, does it still matter?
You guys are so insistent on sending Biyu in, so I can't be angry? "Okay, your sister-in-law is right, I won't ignore Biyu. Of course, she has to pass the card to the palace. You go back first, I still have something to talk to your sister-in-law." Qu waved her hand.
Liang had no choice but to go.
After she left, Qu sighed, "The third family has become more and more impetuous in recent years."
"It's also my third brother. The one in office is really capable. The old lady probably doesn't know about it yet, but she said she is pregnant." Song said.
The third son of the Shen family, Shen Yi, has concubines just like the eldest son, Shen Zhong, but Song and Liang do things differently.
Here, the people who serve Shen Zhong all year round are arranged by the Song family. Generally, they are concubines who take turns to serve him every one or half a year.
But Liang refused to allow her concubines to serve her.
So Shen Yi took another concubine in anger. However, she was far away from him and he didn't bring her back. Naturally, Liang had no right to interfere.
Now Shen Yi favors the concubine more and more, so Liang is embarrassed now. Fortunately, her son is also there.
"They are all troublesome things. Never mind them. As for the matter in the palace, it is Jing Xiuyi who does not allow Biyu to take the lead." Although Qu said this to Liang, she knew the situation in her mind.
Song smiled and said, "It would be good if only one of them could come forward. If both of them do, wouldn't that attract attention? Then those people in the court who are not on good terms with the Shen family will start to talk nonsense again."
Qu nodded. She was ill and looked a little weak, so she waved her hand and said, "That's it. I guess I won't be able to see Madam Jing Xiuyi before the New Year. I'll go and ask for an audience after the New Year."
Song nodded, helped her drink the medicine and then left.
Qu sighed but there was nothing she could do. She could only wait and see when she met Jing Xiuyi after the New Year.
Shen Baolin in the palace waited for several days, and then she received a message from home asking her to be patient, cheer up and prepare for the New Year, and everything could be discussed after the New Year.
Shen Baolin was really angry and had been feeling upset for the past few days.
There is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and she can't bear it anymore.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu has nothing to worry about.
She was playing with the Sixth Prince.
When Yuanxiao came back, he was holding a box.
"Master, I have brought the things. Please take a look. If you are not satisfied, you can still make changes. There is still time."
As he spoke, he handed over the small rosewood box.
Shen Chuliu didn't take it, so she asked him where he put it and Zi Rui opened it.
Inside was a set of gold ornaments.
For children, there are a pair of anklets, a pair of bracelets, and a necklace.
Shen Chuliu picked up the necklace and saw the pattern on it representing longevity and nine rubies. These were all gifts from the emperor in the past.
There is another line of words inside the necklace: See the light of the sun, and enjoy eternal joy.
The patterns on the bracelets and anklets are the same as the necklace, but there is nothing inlaid on them.
There are also words on the inside. The bracelet is engraved with "longevity" and the anklet is engraved with "a smooth life".
"It's well done. No need to change it." Shen Chuliu placed the collar in front of the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince tried to grab it, but it was solid and he couldn't lift it, so he just played with it.
"Isn't this too heavy? Will it be uncomfortable to wear?" Zi Rui said as she picked it up.
"I definitely don't wear it, I just made it for him. I wouldn't be sad if something like this got bumped while he was wearing it." Gold, if the child got bumped accidentally it would be so painful.
"That's fine. It will be the same if you put it on the bedside. We can put it up when our Sixth Prince turns one."
"When the Fourth Prince had his birthday, the Emperor awarded him a top-quality jade pendant. The Fifth Prince had a gold necklace. I don't know what our Sixth Prince has now." Zizhu said.
"Anything is fine. This is the gift from his parents on his first birthday. For his first birthday, everything should be kept well. In the future, this set I gave him and the ones his father gave him as a reward should be placed together and placed beside his bed." Shen Chuliu touched his son's forehead.
The Sixth Prince had already twisted his body to grab the things in the box.
He actually managed to pull out a small bracelet, but it was made of pure gold and was very heavy, so Zizhu held it up on one side, fearing that he would not be able to lift it and it would fall and hit him.
The Sixth Prince didn't want to play with it anymore after a while, so I wiped his hands and took him away to eat.
"Master, the Seventh Prince called the imperial physician again this morning." Zizhu said, "The Emperor has issued an oral order, saying that no earth-shattering things are allowed in the future. This would ruin the Seventh Prince's fortune. He only told him to call the imperial physician when there is something wrong."
"If he survives this winter, he might get better." Shen Chuliu said, "It's only been half a month since he was born, and it's already so bad. It's really bad."
"Who says it's not true? It's true that Han Xiaoyi is too exhausted." Zizhu said.
Shen Chuliu nodded. As a mother, she is naturally most worried about her children.
"Master, the freshly made snacks from the kitchen have been delivered." Yinhu said from outside.
"Bring it in. It's a reward for them. It's thoughtful of you." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Soon, four kinds of dim sum were brought in, all of which were Shen Chuliu's favorites.
Just looking at the kitchen still serving like this, we know that Jing Xiuyi's position is unshakable, and she is busy before the New Year. It is also possible that the emperor does not enter the harem.
Naturally, no one felt that Shen Chuliu had fallen out of favor at this moment.
The main thing is that the emperor embarrassed Shen Baolin in public, and it was clear that he was biased towards Jing Xiuyi.
Shen Chuliu was eating snacks in a very good mood and asked someone to send one of the plates to Yao Baolin. It was still hot when it was delivered.
Yao Baolin thanked the visitor and did not despise him.
