Chapter 30 Worthy of a Pet
Among the four girls, Zi Rui, who was brought by her family, was the only one who was prone to acting on impulse. But she was very good at controlling herself.
Only in front of her.
She doesn't mind. She needs smart and capable people, and she needs close people even more.
Besides, after she is officially canonized, there should be eunuchs.
There will be more people in the future, but how many of them can be close friends?
Zi Rui and Zi Zhu brought the jewelry over: "Talent, please take a look."
Shen Chuliu took a look and said, "Very good. Go ask Yao Baolin if he needs anything."
Zizhu said, "I will go right away."
It's just an attitude. Since the other person has clearly expressed that he wants to be nice to you, it's not good to refuse.
At least we have been together for more than a year, so I can tell her character. I can't say she is a very good person, but compared to Lu Xiaoyi who always calls me sister, she is still trustworthy.
Of course, it was just icing on the cake. In this palace, Shen Chuliu never expected anyone to help her in times of need.
It rained in the morning on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill, and this is true.
By noon, the rain stopped and the weather became colder.
Shen Chuliu was not afraid of the cold: "Is it time to change the quilt at night?"
"My lady, we have prepared it, but I think it won't be a problem to put a blanket on you at night." Zi Rui knew best that she couldn't stand being too hot.
"Go and invite Yao Baolin to have lunch together. After all, there will be a banquet in the evening and you may not be able to eat enough." Shen Chuliu said.
Jimei went to invite Yao Baolin over.
The kitchen sent over a lot of delicious dishes, and the two of them ordered some other dishes, which they enjoyed very well.
The servants simply set up a table and celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the afternoon, Shen Chuliu rewarded his four personal maids with money, as well as several servants in Cuiyunxuan.
When the time was almost up, she changed into a goose yellow floral dress and went out with Yao Baolin.
In the rear hall of Zhengyang Palace, all the concubines had arrived. Because of the bad weather, although the rain had stopped, the sky was still not clear.
It might rain again soon, so everyone was a little anxious on the road, fearing that the rain would ruin their makeup and make them look ugly.
Although this is not a state banquet, it is almost the same. Making a fool of oneself is not as simple as being laughed at.
Every move is a big deal.
Naturally, everyone would joke with each other and compare each other's clothes and jewelry.
Seeing that you are not as good as me, I feel relieved. This is normal.
It was almost time, so they all went to the hall in front.
Sit down according to your rank.
In front of Shen Chuliu are Ning Cairen and Zhao Cairen, behind her is Lu Xiaoyi, and in the back are Baolin, with Li Baolin in the lead.
She has a title, and it's as she should be.
Soon, the Queen, the two Empress Dowagers and the Emperor all arrived, and the ministers and their families were the first to arrive.
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Qi Yixiu waved his hand: "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no need for you to be so polite."
Everyone thanked him and sat down with the help of their maids.
After they sat down, the royal family members came to congratulate them, knowing that the queen was pregnant. It was always a good thing for the queen mother to be pregnant.
The last Deer King has returned to his fiefdom, and the princes today are all cousins of the present generation, so they don’t have so many cunning ideas.
The emperor and the empress thanked their relatives. The emperor drank some wine, while the empress just took a sip of water.
Everyone wished the two Empress Dowagers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and then singing and dancing began.
Qi Yixiu was talking and drinking with his ministers and was having a great time.
Regardless of whether he only appears kind on the surface, at least he is not someone who would scare people just by looking at him.
The female members of the family complimented the Queen and the Queen Mother, talking about their clothes and jewelry, and it was quite lively.
When it was almost time, the Queen took the opportunity to speak: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a good luck for the sisters who came out of the palace. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow it?"
Qi Yixiu hurriedly helped the queen sit down: "The queen is magnanimous, they are blessed. The queen herself asked, how can I not allow it? Today is a good day. There should be some good things."
Qi Yixiu looked at the concubines who were all as beautiful as flowers and said, "It's time for them to be promoted."
"Pass on my command." he said.
On the fourth day of the New Year, he hurried over to listen to the imperial edict.
"He Xiuyi was promoted to the rank of Second Rank Consort, and given the title: Jin. She was granted the right to live in Taiping Palace."
"Song Xiurong was promoted to the head of the nine concubines, the position of Zhaoyi."
"Li Jieyu was promoted to Chongyuan and given the title: Yi."
"Lady Liu was promoted to Chongyi and given the title Kang."
"Talented Lady Zhao was promoted to Lady Zhao, and Talented Lady Ning was promoted to Concubine Ning. Li Baolin was promoted to Li Xiaoyi."
The concubines who arrived at dawn hurriedly stood up to express their gratitude, and were naturally filled with joy.
Especially those who have been promoted several levels in a row.
Those who were not named, such as Concubine Feng, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Cao, all looked unhappy.
However, Concubine Feng knew that she had no chance of promotion this time, and the next promotion would be to Imperial Concubine.
Cao Cairen was demoted because of her fault, so naturally she was not included in the list.
But Concubine Yi was embarrassed.
She has always been the most favored, but now both her position and title are no longer unique to her.
Even more, if she couldn't get promoted this time, she would have to think more. Did she do something wrong? "And Shen's talent position is also handled together. I can't think of a good title for the time being, I'll give it to you next time I get promoted."
Shen Chuliu cursed in her heart, isn't this just provoking hatred? But she still smiled and stood up: "I thank the emperor for his kindness, long live the emperor."
She was wearing a goose yellow floral dress, had her hair in a fairy bun, and was adorned with gold and ruby jewellery, making her look like a little fairy.
After a long time, Qi Yixiu finally saw the black spot that he had been thinking about for a long time.
Normally this woman doesn't dress like this, but today she looks completely different from usual.
It's so addictive.
However, since the occasion was not right, Shen Chuliu was also very dignified and serious.
Although concubines don't need to be dignified, it does depend on the occasion, and they have to act dignified.
Even if the emperor doesn't like you to act politely, you still have to act politely.
If you flirt with the emperor at this time, not to mention how others will look at you, even the emperor himself will regret it after he has worn off.
So, when Shen Chuliu returned to her seat, she raised her head, looking like a real noble lady.
When the ladies below saw this, they only praised the good upbringing of Marquis Jing'an.
The wife of Marquis Jing'an was so flattered that her face was beaming.
She thought, even though Chu Liu didn't want to enter the palace at first, doesn't it look pretty good now?
In just over a year, you will be considered a talented person. If you are lucky enough to have a child, you will be able to move up to a higher level.
Her own granddaughter knew that Chu Liu was a resourceful person.
Once she has established herself, she can send Biyu in after a few years. It's not necessary for one to listen to the other. The two sisters can support each other. Who knows, in the future, Jing'an Marquis Mansion may be able to move to a higher level.
Qi Yixiu didn't know all this. He just thought that Shen Chuliu's walking posture was very beautiful, and it seemed that she was trying to save face for him.
His concubines should be so proud and beautiful.
No wonder he now feels that Shen can be pampered a little bit, she is indeed worthy of being pampered.
