Chapter 304 Unconvinced
In Fengzao Palace, Shen Baolin also came out without Shen Chuliu going to say anything.
Of course, the two people from the Shen family are the focus today, especially Jing Xiuyi.
Shen Baolin is no longer a threat in this state now.
Compared to the triumphant Empress Jing Xiuyi, Shen Baolin obviously had a very difficult time in the past two months.
She has lost a lot of weight now, and even though she is wearing makeup, her face doesn't look good.
As for Empress Jing Xiuyi, she didn't gain weight or lose weight, and her face was still as rosy as a rose and her expression was full of life.
She had her hair combed into a double-knife bun and wore a white brocade dress that reached her chest and reached the ground. The jewelry on her head was a rare set of silver jewelry, but it was inlaid with the finest green cat's eye stones.
The tail of the eye is clearly outlined with an outward arc, slightly upturned.
His almond-shaped eyes were stretched long and narrow, full of charm and danger.
The eyebrows are tall and long.
The small black dot under the eye, although playful, also makes people feel that it is not easy to mess with.
On her wrists, faintly visible through her clothes, was a pair of jadeite with extremely fine water content, icy and transparent, which made her beautiful wrists look even better.
She came in with a smile on her face, bowed and greeted Concubine Feng and Concubine Song.
Concubine Feng snorted, "Jing Xiuyi is indeed a favored concubine. She is wearing all good stuff. I'm afraid she has taken out all the clothes she can wear to show off her appearance."
"Look at what you said, Concubine Feng. Why don't you just say that you think my dress is good-looking? What's so good about it that you're so jealous? Is it that you don't have this dress? Or is it that you're missing this jewelry?" Shen Chuliu smiled, her attitude was unusually nice.
But when asked this question, could Concubine Feng still say that she really didn't have many pieces of snow-cut brocade or bracelets with such good water head? "Of course I don't lack them! But I'm not like you, wearing them so ostentatiously." So she could only be stubborn.
"Isn't that good? If I show off like this, Concubine Feng can just complain to the Emperor and the Empress. I like these beautiful clothes and jewelry so much, I think the Emperor will be very unhappy." Shen Chuliu was still smiling.
Yesterday the emperor gifted me seven or eight large boxes. Unless you were blind, deaf or stupid, you should have known about them.
In other words, if the emperor is willing to give it to me, why shouldn't I use it? Who will benefit from keeping it?
These words made Concubine Feng extremely angry. Wasn't it just that she lacked favor?
But he didn't dare to do anything, he just said bitterly: "I hope you can always dress like this!"
"Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said again.
Concubine Feng couldn't argue with her and was too lazy to say anything more.
Soon, everyone arrived. Shen Chuliu paid her respects to Concubine Kangde and Concubine Jin, and everyone took their seats in turn.
Concubine Jin looked at Jing Xiuyi, then at Shen Baolin, and asked hesitantly, "How is Shen Baolin? I can't ask anyone to visit you at this time."
Shen Baolin stood up and said, "Thank you, Empress Jin. I am fine."
"That's fine. Hey, how can your Qingzhi Pavilion compare to Cuiyunxuan? If you were there, I wouldn't have to worry about you." Concubine Jin deliberately glanced at Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu acted as if he couldn't hear anything, what an idiot.
Shen Baolin smiled awkwardly: "You are joking, Madam."
"Are you joking? I heard that someone came to your house yesterday? Did your mother come?" Concubine Jin asked knowingly.
Shen Baolin shook his head: "I haven't seen my mother yet."
"Hey? This is where you're wrong, Jing Xiuyi..."
Shen Chuliu put the tea bowl on the table with a little more force, and it made a click. Then she looked at Concubine Jin with a half-smile: "Madam, please continue, my hand slipped."
Concubine Jin...
Concubine Jin couldn't continue, and after a while she said, "It's nothing, I just thought you sisters were wronged. Jing Xiuyi, you are of a high position after all, but poor Shen Baolin is just a Baolin, and the people below don't know how to flatter the superior and look down on the inferior."
"What's wrong, Shen Baolin? Have you been bullied?" Shen Chuliu looked at Shen Baolin.
Shen Baolin is not really stupid. This is Fengzao Palace. Even if she is ignorant, she can't say that, right?
"I think it's Concubine Jin who is worried about me. I'm just worried about family matters these days. Who would dare to bully me?" Shen Baolin said hurriedly.
"I told you, the Queen Mother has been in charge of the harem for many years and has always been fair. Although we have been under house arrest for some time, it is just house arrest, not sent to the cold palace. How dare she treat us harshly and bully us?" Shen Chuliu raised her eyebrows.
"Besides, what does Concubine Jin mean by grievance? Could it be that she is blaming the Emperor? We dare not do that. The Emperor's grace is so great that he has cleared the grievances of our Shen family. Even if the confinement lasts a little longer, we are grateful. How can there be grievance?"
"That's right." Shen Baolin later realized that she had said the wrong thing that day. How could she dare to complain now?
"Then I'm worried too much." Concubine Jin smiled awkwardly.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "How could that be? Concubine Jin is a person who hates evil and loves to fight for the weak. Naturally, she is a good person."
It's just that the emperor's grace is great at the beginning, but later on he is jealous of evil and stands up for the weak. The evil is caused by the emperor, and the weak is also caused by the emperor...
It was not known whether Concubine Jin could not hear or did not dare to answer, so she just smiled and went to drink tea.
Concubine Kangde sat there like an old monk in meditation, just thinking to herself, Concubine Jin is really useless.
By the time the queen arrived, the war had apparently stopped.
Concubine Feng stopped talking, Concubine Jin also rested, and Concubine Kangde never took advantage of others with words.
As for others, if Li Chongrong and Ning Chongyi didn't speak up, no one would dare to mess with Shen Chuliu.
To be honest, now we can really say that he is the best.
The queen spoke to everyone with a normal expression, and when she had said all that needed to be said, she told everyone to leave.
She must be in a bad mood. Although she is not too sad for her father, the loss of a loved one is not something she can get over quickly.
Everyone dispersed. It was hot and Shen Chuliu just wanted to go back to sleep today.
It’s all the dog emperor’s fault. She didn’t get enough sleep.
Everything was normal in Cuiyunxuan, but in Qingzhige, Chen Baolin had a sullen face since he came back.
After a while, she couldn't hold it in any longer and stood in the corridor to curse: "Someone is bullying you! We are the same people, they are all nine concubines, and you are still a Baolin! Bah! Baolin what! What kind of Baolin are you? Which Baolin are you from? The Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't know how to give you a share of the profits! You are so shameless to accept it! If you have the ability, learn from them! Who are you pretending to be pitiful all day long!"
Chen Baolin has always had a bad temper. She just couldn't stand what Concubine Jin said early in the morning. Didn't she say that she bullied Shen Baolin?
Shen Baolin's shy look! What does that mean?
She just won't accept it!
Shen Baolin sat in the room without saying a word, just silently shedding tears.
At this moment, she didn't dare to make a fuss. What good would it do?
"Zhijin, why are the roads in the palace so difficult to walk on..." Shen Baolin asked softly.
Zhijin also wanted to cry, but she just comforted him: "Don't worry, Baolin, this is just the beginning, it will be fine in the future."
