Chapter 300: Admiring
the Lotus Shen Chuliu was in Cuiyunxuan, so she was not isolated from the news.
You can hear the latest gossip every day.
She was worried at first, but after several days of people writing letters demanding punishment for the Shen family, she was no longer anxious.
If the emperor really wants to deal with the Shen family, why do we have to wait like this?
It was not until someone started mentioning Shen Chuliu in Cuiyunxuan and the Sixth Prince that Qi Yixiu finally responded.
The court immediately scolded the censor named Liu severely.
This is really the first time. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has always been known for being polite and easy to talk to. Even when he abolished the three provinces and restarted the cabinet, he was like boiling a frog in warm water.
Such angry cursing really frightened all the ministers.
"Send an order to the Deer King immediately! Tell him to return to the capital! I want to ask him, the Shen family is a veteran of several dynasties, with great military achievements, but he is calling for war and killing without knowing right or wrong! The Sixth Prince is my prince! How can you say that he can be demoted to a commoner?"
Censor Liu was also excited for the moment, and now he regretted not falling down after talking so much.
Of course not. No matter what happened, the Sixth Prince was still a prince. How could he say that he should be demoted to a commoner?
But it was not easy to go back on my words now, so I could only keep silent.
The news that the emperor had reprimanded the censors in the court spread quickly, and no one in the harem dared to have any uneasy thoughts.
Now, except for that naive fool, everyone else has realized that there is something fishy going on with the Shen family.
The Deer King had already set out, and news came from the northern border that the crown prince of the state of Chao had suddenly passed away. The court was in chaos.
The Crown Prince of Chao is not only the Crown Prince of Chao, but also the younger brother of the Empress of Dayi Dynasty, and the husband of Princess Ruyi of Dayi Dynasty.
Now it's suddenly gone.
Less than three days after this news reached Beijing, word came that the emperor of Chaoguo had passed away and the third prince Shangguan Hang had ascended the throne.
At the same time, Princess Ruyi, the former Crown Prince's concubine Qi Jiayi, was canonized as Consort Qi by the new Emperor of Chao.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu laughed when he heard the news: "This is really a sudden change. Qi Jiayi is really a powerful and beautiful woman."
The Chao Kingdom is similar to the Dayi Dynasty, only slightly more open than this side, that is, it does not prohibit women from remarrying or something like that.
But generally speaking, emperors would not remarry.
So Qi Jiayi is not an ordinary person.
In this case, I am afraid that there is another story behind the death of the Crown Prince and the Emperor of Chao.
In the following days, the court sent letters one after another, first clarifying the situation for Marquis Jing'an, saying that it was a conspiracy planned by the former crown prince for his own selfish desires, and that Marquis Jing'an was truly aggrieved.
He also sent a letter to the Queen, and conferred the title of Princess Yijing on her in the court. He also sent many gifts to the Queen and the Second Princess.
This can be regarded as a clear statement of his determination to maintain good relations between Chao State and Dayi Dynasty.
Qi Yixiu naturally sent people to celebrate and sent gifts as soon as possible, and in return he promoted Princess Ruyi's title to Princess Ruyi.
As the truth of the matter came to light, the Deer King also entered the imperial city.
The Shen family was completely cleared of their grievances, and Qi Yixiu gave a lot of rewards to the Northern Frontier and the Shen family.
The house arrest in Cuiyunxuan was naturally lifted.
Shen Chuliu felt quite regretful. It would have been so comfortable not having to get up early to pay respects during the confinement period.
It was already the end of June, and one thing had taken nearly two months to complete.
Shen Chuliu immediately took people to Fengzao Palace, firstly to pay respects and secondly to express greetings.
The Queen's promotion was a happy event, but the Queen's father's death was also a mourning event.
Shen Chuliu was wearing a light green waist-length skirt with a ribbon around her slender waist, and she walked with light lotus steps.
In Fengzao Palace, she greeted with dignity: "Your Highness, Queen, be well received."
"Why are you so polite now?" The queen was not allowed to wear mourning for her natal family, so she just wore plain clothes.
"I have been confined for the past two months, and it is all thanks to Your Majesty for taking care of the Sixth Prince. How can I not thank you? Now that I am out, the first thing I came to see is you." Shen Chuliu sat down: "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Health is the most important thing. I also have to congratulate Your Majesty."
A princess and a princess queen are not the same thing.
If the queen is not the queen, but just married someone in the court, then if she has the title of the eldest princess, it would be a great thing.
"I know everything. Thank you for your concern."
Shen Chuliu smiled and changed the subject. If he really wanted to reminisce about the emperor of Chaoguo with the queen, that would be nonsense.
The Queen would not have any genuine admiration for the Emperor.
There were many princesses who could come to the Great Yi Dynasty to marry, but only one queen was chosen. At that time, Qi Yixiu was just a prince who was not very favored.
Shen Chuliu sat for a while, drank a cup of tea with the queen, and then left.
When I went back, I was not in a hurry and went into the Imperial Garden.
"Master, the Queen's status is more honorable now, right?" Zi Rui asked.
"Yes, she is the eldest princess after all." Shen Chuliu said.
"But now the Emperor of Chao is the Empress' brother. Will he be willing to send his daughter to her in the future?"
"No. Chaoguo is not weak, there is no need to send it. The Queen is already the Queen now, who could be more noble? But in the future, when the Dayi Dynasty decides on the Crown Prince, maybe it will happen." Shen Chuliu said.
Zi Rui nodded: "Ah, it's not easy for the Queen either. Her father is the best in the court, but her brother is not as good after all."
Shen Chuliu laughed: "The Queen is a powerful person, don't think too much, okay, let's stop talking, let's go enjoy the flowers. I've been holding it in for a long time, it's good to take a walk."
"Master, you and Sister Zirui go first. I will go back and ask people to prepare. The lotus flowers on Luming Lake are blooming beautifully. Let's go take a boat ride?" Jimei said.
Shen Chuliu thought about it and thought: "Okay, we'll wait for you here, go ahead."
Jimei left with a smile.
Shen Chuliu and Zi Rui went to Fubi Pavilion and sat down to enjoy the breeze. It was a rare breeze today.
But Shen Chuliu was holding a fan.
He shook his head gently and smiled, "Fortunately I know what's going on. It's just that I've been locked up like this for two months. If I didn't know, wouldn't it be like living a year?"
Zi Rui smiled and said, "Master, you are not worried, but we servants are worried."
"I really have to thank Zhuang Gengyi, otherwise there would be so many swords and knives hidden in this harem." Shen Chuliu said.
"Then the master should bully her less when he sees her next time." Zi Rui smiled.
"You, you, did you learn this from me?"
As the master and servant were talking, they saw someone coming here.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the eldest princess and Jiang Zilan.
As she approached, the eldest princess hurried forward to greet her: "Hello, Queen Jing."
Jiang Zilan also bowed: "Hello, Madam Jing Xiuyi."
"Well, no need to be so polite. Where are you going?" Shen Chuliu raised his hand.
The eldest princess was about to speak when Jiang Zilan interrupted her and said, "I see the weather is very good and the lotus flowers are in full bloom, so I want to go and enjoy the flowers."
