Chapter 281 The Right Day
After all, he is a child who can run, not the kind who can only lie down, so he is much easier to take care of.
Shen Chuliu thanked him, gave him a reward, and sent him out.
"Is Zhuang Baolin quite popular these days?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"I did serve her a few times, but Concubine Su is almost the same as her. I used to think that Concubine Su had fallen out of favor. But there are still lanterns during the New Year." Zi Rui said.
"She is so unique, is it okay for her to fall out of favor so easily?" Shen Chuliu smiled: "I am more concerned about the fact that Princess Junyi's two children have entered the palace."
"What was sent in today said that Jiang Zimi is the second prince's study partner, and Jiang Zilan is the eldest princess's study partner. It's strange, because the eldest princess definitely cannot like Jiang Zilan." Zirui frowned.
"It's her mother's fault for being unpopular." Shen Chuliu snorted.
This is the reality in the palace.
She dared to say that although they were both princes, the Sixth Prince had something that the Fifth Prince in Ruiqing Palace did not.
Similarly, what the Second Princess has from the Queen, the other princesses definitely don't have.
"Princess Junyi's return to the capital is so grand. Jiang Han has already joined the Ministry of Revenue. Although he is only an assistant minister, I'm afraid he will be able to hold such a small position in the future." Zizhu said.
"Jiang Han is a person the emperor can trust. He was supported by the emperor. The Beining Earl's Mansion used to be a declining family. Even if Jiang Han is capable, it is not easy for one person to support the family. Since the emperor became the crown prince, their family has started to improve. Now that he is back, it is naturally an honor." Shen Chuliu said.
"So it seems that Jiang Zilan might really marry the second prince?" Zi Rui said.
"That may not be the case, but Jiang Zilan is about the same age as the Second Prince. Is this what Princess Junyi is thinking? You know, when the Second Prince turns ten, you can consider establishing a Crown Prince." Shen Chuliu sneered, "But the princes below are still so young, the Emperor won't be in a hurry."
Jump as hard as you can. If you jump too hard, the Feng family will be in trouble sooner.
Now, the Feng family still needs it.
I don’t know about the future.
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us now. I wonder what Concubine Jin thinks." Shen Chuliu said.
"Empress Jin has received favors from Princess Junyi, so I'm afraid she won't think too much about it." Zizhu said.
"That will be hard for the eldest princess. After all, she is the princess of the royal family. If she suffers too much injustice in the future, I wonder if she will get angry." Shen Chuliu shook her head: "Let's not talk about them. I'm going to go see Yan'er."
That night, Zhuang Baolin slept with the emperor again.
In the harem, there were those who didn't care, those who were very angry, and those who shed tears silently.
After Shen Chuliu had dinner, she sat and played with Yao Baolin. Yao Baolin was sewing a small dress for the Sixth Prince.
She is deft and does a good job.
Shen Chuliu talked to her while eating snacks.
Hearing the people outside saying that the emperor had turned over Zhuang Baolin's name card again, Yao Baolin was surprised: "There was no movement before, and she was not there when I went to the palace. Now she is favored all of a sudden?"
"Before, there were so many people, and everyone had brought out all their treasures, so it was normal that the emperor didn't notice this one. After all, when the selection was made, she was invited to the palace because she was considered good. It's not surprising to be favored now. Among this batch of newcomers, many have made their mark, but not many can really gain a foothold. It's better for them to be quiet. For example, Concubine Yu gave birth to a princess quietly. Regardless of whether she is favored or not in the future, at least she has gained a foothold."
"That's true. It's actually very good to give birth to a princess. It won't make people jealous, and you'll have someone to rely on. Concubine Yu's father said that she is very useful now, and maybe she can be promoted in the future. Who knows, this princess will be able to support herself one day." Yao Baolin said enviously.
"It's best if we can support them ourselves. Now there are few people in Ruiqing Palace which is not a big deal, but if there are more in the future, I'm afraid they will be divided into different levels." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
Yao Baolin nodded sympathetically, isn't it?
Although they are not qualified to raise children, when there are more children in the future, there will always be people who will take advantage of others.
Even if none of them are qualified, there is still a difference in who is more favored.
"More. Shen Baolin went to Concubine Jin's place again today." Yao Baolin said, "Does the queen know?"
"Of course I know. It's up to her. As long as she doesn't cause trouble that harms the entire Shen family, she can do whatever she wants." Shen Chuliu sneered, "What's the point of clinging to Concubine Jin? Concubine Jin herself doesn't see the emperor for years."
"You're probably anxious too. Anyway, it's good that the queen knows." Yao Baolin said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Thank you for your concern. I don't care if others want to take the lead, as long as they don't harm me. But she is the only one I won't let take the lead. This is all an old grudge between us."
Shen Chuliu explained this because she was afraid that Yao Baolin would think that she wanted to stand out but Shen Chuliu would not allow her to do so.
Actually, no, she would have no objection if Yao Baolin could be favored.
But, this is also unlikely.
Yao Baolin agreed with a smile and understood what she meant.
It was the end of February, and it had been drizzling for the past month. When it finally cleared up for half a day, the servants in each palace were eager to dry things in the sun.
It's the same here with Shen Chuliu, but most of them are sunbathing at the back, not the front.
It was the baby who needed to be exposed to the sun. When Shen Chuliu came back from Fengzao Palace, she saw the wet nurse leading the Sixth Prince outside to expose themselves to the sun.
"You brought him out so early?"
The nurse explained hurriedly: "My Lord, although it is early, we are wearing thick clothes. We are afraid that it will rain again soon, and the Sixth Prince may feel uncomfortable if he doesn't get some sun."
"Okay, you guys take care of it." Shen Chuliu bent down: "Come."
The Sixth Prince was led over by his wet nurse, stumbling over.
He is dressed like a little penguin and wants to run very fast.
He hugged the child and said, "Call me mother."
"Gagagaga..." The Sixth Prince's words had to be blurred, and no one understood what he was saying.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Okay, let's dry them in the sun. Mom will change her clothes and dry them with you."
After basking in the sun for a short while, the emperor arrived.
This is rare.
Shen Chuliu hadn't seen him for more than a month.
After paying his respects, Qi Yixiu looked at the Sixth Prince running away and said with a smile, "This child is growing up so fast."
"He'll grow taller if he keeps going this way. This child won't be short in the future." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Your birthday is the day after tomorrow. I have already sent word that we will prepare it for you well." Qi Yixiu said as he sat down.
Shen Chuliu was surprised: "Just set up a table like in previous years."
"It's the same. You gave birth to the Sixth Prince, and he is the legitimate mistress of the Nine Concubines. Even if you find it troublesome in the future, you have to do it this year." Qi Yixiu said.
"Okay, but my birthday is on the first day of the lunar new year, which is a golden day. The Queen is waiting for me to pay her respects to her, and it would be disrespectful to ask her to come here." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Look at you, it's fine if you're like this on your own birthday, but you gave birth to a son who couldn't even have a normal birthday."
