Chapter 302: Envious
Shen Chuliu understood.
With such a big thing happening at home, it is natural that we have to meet in person.
After leaving Taiji Palace, Shen Chuliu said, "I'll ask someone to tell the old lady everything that happened that day."
Zizhu understood and said yes.
Not long after, Qu and Song entered Cuiyunxuan one after another.
After paying their respects, Shen Chuliu left only Zizhu and Zirui behind.
"Grandma and aunt, please sit down. No need to be polite. I just came back from Taiji Palace. I didn't go to Fengzao Palace to pay my respects early in the morning, but I just found out that you came to the palace. I wanted to pass on the message as well." Shen Chuliu smiled.
Seeing her like this, calm and unchanged, Qu felt a lot more relieved.
"That's good. We are so lucky that Your Majesty is fine. It was difficult for her to come out of the house some time ago, and I couldn't send any messages in. I am sorry that Your Majesty was worried." Qu said.
"What grandma said is true. We are all family. It was just that it happened suddenly. The situation in the Kingdom changed. Grandfather and my uncles happened to be in the northern border, so they were inevitably involved. Now everything is fine. But I still want to advise grandpa that although he was wronged this time, he is a subject after all, and it is right to suffer grievances. As a subject, it is an honor to die for the monarch."
Qu was stunned for a moment, but Song said quickly, "Your Majesty is right. I think so too. I should tell you exactly what I said when I send the letter to the Northern Frontier."
Shen Chuliu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, aunt."
"Zizhu, tell the old lady and the first lady what happened that day. Don't miss a single word."
As Shen Chuliu spoke, he picked up the tea.
Qu was startled, but Song showed no sign of expression.
Zizhu stepped forward, bowed, and described with a smile everything that happened on the day of the accident.
When Qu and Song heard this, their faces turned unhappy.
After Zizhu finished speaking, she went out with Zirui.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, with only three people from the Shen family left.
Shen Chuliu sighed, "I usually don't like to meddle in other people's business. But since Shen Baolin entered the palace, he was slandered by Han for the first time, and almost defiled the entire Shen family, causing all the women in the Shen family to become vicious women. This time, there was nothing wrong, but Shen Baolin was so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. During these times of house arrest, I followed the rules and dared not cross the line. My Sixth Prince was bullied when he went out. But Shen Baolin was different. He couldn't go out and he was not quiet for a day. He either tried to send a message out of the palace for help or tried to find Concubine Jin."
Shen Chuliu shook her head and said, "My aunt has not entered the palace today, so I don't know what will happen. The honor and disgrace of the palace depends on me, but as a daughter of the Shen family, she should know that we all prosper together and suffer together. If something really happens at home, I still have the prince, and maybe I can help a little. According to what Fifth Sister said, will it be useful to only save Third Uncle?"
Qu sighed for a while: "They are all good daughters taught by Liang!"
"After all, the Shen family is now at the center of controversy, so we shouldn't let people say that our daughter is forming a clique. Grandmother and aunt don't have to see her today, but we should ask Aunt to pass on a message to her. The palace is not like the mansion. If you make a mistake or say the wrong thing, you may be doomed forever."
"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely take this matter to heart." Song said hurriedly, "Her mother is also ill. When she gets better, you will have to ask her to pass on the message."
Song knew clearly that Jing Xiuyi was worried that Shen Baolin would delay the family. Of course, this was also a reason.
But Jing Xiuyi used this incident to slap the Shen family in the face.
Look, after carefully selecting and sending it in, this is the only one that can't even be pasted on the wall.
In fact, Song was also very disappointed. She didn't expect Shen Biyu to be so bad.
But in fact, Shen Biyu was just upset by the unhappiness of the past year. If she could calm down, it might not be like this now.
But that's how people are. If things keep going badly, it's hard to concentrate on doing anything or saying anything. The more things go wrong, the worse it gets. It's just a vicious cycle.
After seeing off Qu and Song, Shen Chuliu laughed, "This time I scared my family."
Qu has lost a lot of weight.
"They said that family members are not allowed to communicate with the outside world during these times." Zi Rui said.
"Yeah, two months is not that easy." Shen Chuliu stopped smiling.
I thought Qi Yixiu was just putting on an act, but that didn't mean he didn't really want to see if the Shen family would really do anything.
On the way back home, Qu was angry and scolded Shen Biyu for being ignorant.
Song said, "Old lady, don't feel bad. Fortunately, Shen Baolin is just Baolin. Madam Jing Xiuyi is an understanding person."
"You are right, Your Majesty is a wise person." Qu sighed, "If I had known this, I should not have asked Biyu to enter the palace."
"It's useless to say all this now. The queen is right to remind you. The Shen family must not harbor any resentment. We should write a letter to the Marquis as soon as we go back, asking him and the others to write a letter of thanks and return to the capital. It would be better if the words were sincere."
"Well, ask Qinghe to write it. It would be best if he could go to the palace to kowtow on behalf of the marquis. Although our family has suffered this injustice, we cannot help but thank the emperor for his reward." Qu sometimes thinks a lot, but she is not a short-sighted woman after all.
"Yes, and those who still support the Shen family during this time should also be thanked. But it's not good to make a big fuss about it. If you put it nicely, it's a thank you, but if you put it bluntly, it will be said to be forming a clique. Our marquis has military power, and he is most afraid of people saying this." Song said.
Song thought to herself that the empress was a person who saw things clearly. When she said that the palace was afraid that she would form a clique with Shen Baolin, she might be reminding the Shen family not to form a clique with the officials in the court.
"Just... ask Qingbo's wife to go. The gift belt is thick, but she doesn't have to meet the elders in the family. After receiving the gift, people will naturally understand." Qu said.
"Yes, then ask her to go when we get back." Song nodded with satisfaction.
In the palace, Shen Baolin was anxious when he learned that Qu and Song had entered the palace. He wanted to go and see them, but her house arrest had not been lifted.
When I heard that my mother didn't come, I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do.
Her maid Zhijin came to Cuiyunxuan. She only got one sentence, "pay your respects tomorrow morning, and Empress Jing Xiuyi will ask the Empress to release her from house arrest."
There is nothing else.
Shen Baolin was so anxious and angry that he could only cry.
This incident suppressed all her arrogance.
It seems like they have been powerful for more than ten years, but in an instant they have become two difficult people to achieve great things.
At lunch time, Shen Chuliu received four dishes as a reward from Qi Yixiu.
"I got a lot of things from being under house arrest. I guess I will get other rewards tomorrow." Shen Chuliu was in a very good mood.
As a result, before the next day, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived in the afternoon of the same day.
I brought a lot of things.
They were carrying seven or eight large boxes, as well as small boxes. As they walked along, the people in the harem were envious.
