Chapter 313: Support
Overall, the flower viewing was still lively.
The main reason is that Xue Baolin is very supportive.
As for Shen Chuliu, she naturally knew how to please the emperor, so there would naturally be no dull moment.
Qi Yixiu was indeed happy, and when the party finally ended, Shen Chuliu left without any regrets.
After all, Xue Baolin was accompanying him today, so it was her job to sleep with him, and there was no need for her to join in the fun.
The emperor was naturally satisfied with this understanding, and Xue Baolin was extremely grateful.
Ning Chongyi is not the kind of person who can liven up the atmosphere. She is more suited to being quiet, so sometimes she seems to have no presence in the crowd.
As for Concubine Ying, she fell out of favor after giving birth to a child. When she was in the palace, she briefly attracted the emperor's interest because of her dancing, but unfortunately it was too short and she has not slept with the emperor for a long time.
However, Jing Xiuyi left so quickly that no one felt comfortable staying any longer.
In Cuiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuliu looked at the pot of chrysanthemums that he had 'robbed' and laughed: "Put it outside. Ning Chongyi said that these flowers should be viewed under the moon, right? Let's view them under the moon."
Zizhu smiled and asked people to set up the place.
"This must have made Empress Ning Chongyi very angry." Zhemei said.
"What can I do? I am a petty person." Shen Chuliu laughed: "She has to come here to make me jealous, so don't blame me for taking action."
"But Xue Baolin is a sensible and understanding man, much more understanding than Zhuang Gengyi." Zhemei said.
"Forget about Zhuang Gengyi, but look at the beautiful Ying now. She has really gone backwards." Shen Chuliu shook her head.
"I heard that Lady Ying rarely visits the Third Princess now." Chi Su curled her lips: "She herself doesn't care, how can the Third Princess get close to her in the future?"
"Are you disgusted by the fact that she's a princess?" Shen Chuliu was surprised. "For a woman in the palace, even if she gives birth to a princess, it's a blessing. There will be more and more people in the palace in the future, and it will be difficult for her to have another child."
"Who knows? Really, what mother wouldn't love her child? Look at Concubine Miao. She was so worried when something happened to the Third Prince."
"Speaking of Miao Cairen, how did King Lu deal with Rui Ji in the end?" Shen Chuliu suddenly asked.
"It is said that Rui Ji died of illness and was buried outside the city. Who knows how she died?" Chi Su sighed softly, "She is also very pitiful. She thought that she could live a rich and prosperous life by coming to the capital, but she forced Mu Niang to come. She was about to get married. She had already escaped from slavery, but was forced to come. The Deer King took advantage of his power and beat her fiancé. He was too strong and died. Even so, they also brought Mu Niang with them. How can she not hate him?"
"This doesn't make sense." Shen Chuliu frowned. "Hate, isn't it enough to just kill Rui Ji? Must she kill the Deer King? Since she has the medicine, why can't she find an opportunity along the way? Must she enter the palace?"
"Yes, I also thought that there were some other inside stories in this matter. But now that the person is dead, it is hard to say." Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu tapped the table lightly, thinking, if this medicine is really for the Third Prince, it's easier to say, but what if it's for the Emperor? So this Mu Niang is really an ordinary servant? No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.
Shen Chuliu shook his head and didn't think about it any further, nor did he say it out loud.
That night, it was Xue Baolin who indeed slept with the emperor.
Xue Baolin is indeed smart. When serving the emperor, although he is not extremely cautious, he is very well-behaved.
When Qi Yixiu was talking to her, when mentioning the daytime, Xue Baolin only said good things about people, for example, Empress Jing Xiuyi knew how to dress up and was more beautiful than flowers.
For example, Empress Ning Chongyi was very knowledgeable about poetry and literature, and it was very pleasant to talk to her.
It is also said that Miss Ying is quick-witted and forthright.
No matter what, people who always say good things about others will not be annoying.
The next morning, when I woke up, I heard in Fengzao Palace that the emperor was going north for half a month.
But unexpectedly, he did not bring anyone with him, only servants to serve him.
Shen Chuliu smiled at that time and glanced at Ning Chongyi.
Ning Chongyi lowered her head and drank tea, feeling extremely embarrassed.
When they returned to Cuiyunxuan, Miss Rong came and smiled at Shen Chuliu.
"Oh, I thought Ning Chongyi wanted to go, now it's good. It's embarrassing."
"So you knew it too?" Shen Chuliu laughed.
"Of course I know." Lady Rong stopped smiling, drank her tea and said, "I came here today to talk..."
"It's been a while since it happened. Lady Su was too embarrassed to ask me to ask the queen what had irritated her." Lady Rong smiled again, "I just asked in vain. The queen is a very clear-headed person. Since the queen has distanced herself from her, she must have her own reasons. As for me, I will naturally follow the steps of the queen."
"Since you asked, I won't hide it from you." Shen Chuliu leaned back: "If you want to know why, I can't tell you. Since she had a miscarriage last year, she seemed to have become distant. Why is she distant? I can't tell you right now. You know Su Cairen's background."
"She is different from us. I'm not saying that I can't be good to her, but... she is not only good to me."
"When the queen said that, I knew it, but... if that's the case, the queen doesn't have to stay away from her. She is not as favored as before. It seems to be because of the miscarriage. The queen is a smart person. The more she feels about it, the more she should stay away from her. Speaking of which, Su Cairen is also a very thoughtful person. She has the same temperament as Concubine Kangde and Lady Wen."
"You are right." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I also heard what you said."
Indeed, if you offend someone who is very scheming, she may hit you at any time.
"It's good that your Majesty understands. I always hope that your Majesty will be well. There is one more thing. I am afraid that by the end of this year, everyone will be promoted. If Concubine Zhen gives birth to a prince, I don't know what position she will be in. And Ning Chongyi, I think the emperor will still promote her. If she gets ahead of you, your Majesty..."
"It's hard to say about this kind of thing. One is from the Qiandi Palace, and the other is the emperor's cousin. Even if they are in front of me, there is nothing I can do." Shen Chuliu shook his head: "You also missed Concubine Wen, this one will also be one of the nine concubines."
"Yes, and her too. Sigh..." Concubine Rong sighed, "Speaking of which, who doesn't want to be promoted? But when I think about all the troubles in the harem, I think it's not bad to be a beauty for the rest of my life. Or I can wait until I'm old before being promoted."
"You've been a beauty for many years, maybe it's a good thing that you can make some moves this year." Shen Chuliu also sighed: "I also think this palace is troublesome, but I have a son, how dare I slack off?"
Now there is really no way back.
