Chapter 275 Going to Taiji Palace
She changed her clothes, washed her face, and dressed up.
After making sure there was no trace of the pot smell on him, he stood up and said, "Let's go to Taiji Palace."
Of course I have inquired, and the emperor did not meet anyone in the afternoon.
It wasn't long before they arrived at Taiji Palace, where someone had already gone in to report.
It was still snowing, and it was not good to ask her to stand in the snow, so naturally she was invited to wait in the side hall.
Qi Yixiu was busy with work, but was a little surprised to see Shen Chuliu coming.
"What happened? The Sixth Prince's birthday is coming soon. Is there anything missing?" Qi Yixiu asked Chusi.
Chu Si smiled and said, "I don't think so. It seems that Empress Xiuyi has dressed up properly. She seems to be here to see Your Majesty."
"Tsk." Qi Yixiu laughed: "Since you are so thoughtful to come, it would be inappropriate for me not to see you in the snow. Please let you in."
Shen Chuliu came not long after: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
"Get up and answer. Jing Xiuyi, is there something you want to talk to me about?" Qi Yixiu looked at her sternly.
"I miss the emperor and come here specially to visit him." Shen Chuliu didn't say any nonsense like "I'm disturbing you."
What if the emperor says yes? How embarrassing? Qi Yixiu put down his pen: "Jing Xiuyi is quite free?"
"I have been busy with arrangements for the Sixth Prince's birthday and the New Year. Although I have some things to do, they cannot take up all my time. Now the New Year is coming, is the Emperor busy?"
"Of course I am busy. If Jing Xiuyi has nothing to do..."
"Your Majesty! I was wrong." Shen Chuliu came over and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me. Isn't it okay for me to accept the punishment?"
The dog emperor has a bad temper, and his beloved concubine doesn't even bark at him?
Isn’t it tiring to say one more word?
"That's strange. What did Jing Xiuyi do wrong?" Qi Yixiu turned his head to look at her.
"It is my fault that the emperor is unhappy." Shen Chuliu said in a loud voice.
Qi Yixiu felt like laughing.
He wasn't too angry, but he also wanted to let Shen Chuliu know that she couldn't do whatever she wanted in the harem.
"Now that my beloved concubine knows she is wrong, have you thought of any way to confess your guilt?" Qi Yixiu looked at her.
"It's snowing today. Would you like me to accompany His Majesty to appreciate the snow and plum blossoms and confess my crime?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"It's so cold, I don't like going out." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
"How about I serve the emperor with writing materials and tea? If that doesn't work, how about being a maid for a day to serve the emperor's daily life?"
"Anyway, you won't lose anything, right?" Qi Yixiu patted her hand heavily.
Shen Chuliu's hands were slapped until they turned red, but she just pouted and didn't scream.
"Do you really know you are wrong?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I really won't dare to do this again in the future. Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
Qi Yixiu snorted and pulled her into his arms: "Since you are sensible, I will forgive you this time. If you do it again..."
"No, no. The emperor is so handsome." Shen Chuliu hurriedly flattered him.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "What a smooth talker."
"Your Majesty, you are the same. You may be angry, but why don't you give me tea?" Shen Chuliu said angrily.
"Did you hear me? Why don't you hurry up? Are you going to ask Empress Xiuyi to destroy the Taiji Palace?" Qi Yixiu looked at Chusi.
Smile on the fourth day of the New Year. No need to urge, in fact, someone has already gone to make tea.
They were just worried that the emperor might get angry, so they went up slowly.
After drinking tea, Qi Yixiu asked, "I have been busy these days, how is the Sixth Prince?"
"He can eat, sleep and play, but he's very noisy. He just had steamed rice cakes in the morning. He started crying again when the meal was about to be served at noon. He had a small bowl of noodles and eggs. He also had a meal of milk cakes in the afternoon. He is not allowed to eat these at night." Shen Chuliu counted on his fingers.
"He can eat well." Qi Yixiu was also shocked: "But is this child eating too much? Have you asked the imperial physician to check it out?"
"I have checked. Imperial Doctor Zhao, Imperial Doctor Zhang, and several imperial doctors who specialize in pediatrics have consulted each other and they all said it is normal. Some children just have a big appetite when they are young."
"I have actually managed to control his appetite. He can eat two small bowls of noodles like that."
"Good boy." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Shen Chuliu was speechless. If she had known this would happen, she would have just asked the emperor to come.
But think about it, I guess I can't get through by inviting her.
Not long after, the two returned to Cuiyunxuan.
The Sixth Prince had just woken up when he saw his unfamiliar father. He kept moaning for a long time and then went to the bathroom.
As expected, he wanted to eat shortly after waking up, so I fed him two small pieces of soft milk cake.
I was afraid that he would get angry, so I gave him a lot of water every day.
Qi Yixiu was in a good mood seeing him being able to eat, drink and toss around.
Among the current children, the healthiest are the fifth prince and the sixth prince.
The fourth prince born to Li Chongrong was also healthy, but he did not eat or drink as well as these two.
Although the fifth prince was raised in Ruiqing Palace, he was very strong.
The Sixth Prince cannot go out today. He is making a lot of noise. Soon Shen Chuliu can't stand it anymore and asks someone to carry him to his own place.
"If it goes on like this all day, it will be really tiring when the kid runs away." Shen Chuliu felt a headache.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Boys should be like this. This reminds me of Princess Qinghua's family. When she was still alive, my cousins were still young and would occasionally go to her house and make a fuss like this. The older ones would make a fuss, the younger ones would cry, and there would be no peace all day long."
"Speaking of Princess Qinghua, is Princess Junyi and her family going back to Beijing for the New Year this year?" Shen Chuliu asked.
This Princess Junyi was the eldest daughter of Princess Qinghua. After marrying into the Jiang family, she followed her husband in office.
"She will be back soon. When my aunt was alive, she loved her the most. She has been away from Beijing for ten years." Qi Yixiu had the best relationship with the late princess.
But Princess Qinghua did not have a good ending in the end.
What was told to the public was that a fire occurred when they were living in the villa, and the family was killed except for a married daughter and a youngest son.
Now the youngest son has inherited the title of the previous prince consort and is known as Lord Yun.
The eldest daughter is a princess who has been married far away and has not returned to Beijing for ten years.
I think when I return to Beijing this year, I will be a prominent figure.
Shen Chuliu personally went to invite the emperor to Cuiyunxuan, and everyone in the harem was gritting their teeth.
Everyone was dissatisfied. How could the emperor come just because they invited him? Although everyone said that she must have used the prince to win his favor, it was also a skill.
It’s amazing to be able to do it.
What else can people do except envy?
Qi Yixiu has arrived, and it is already this late, so naturally he won’t leave.
But he had indeed witnessed the Sixth Prince's fuss. He was really energetic.
Probably because I eat too much.
The next morning, Shen Chuliu went to Fengzao Palace to pay his respects, and the emperor returned to court.
In Fengzao Palace, the Queen indeed talked about Princess Junyi.
"Come to think of it, I have never met this princess before." The queen said with a smile.
