Chapter 322: Achievements
After the fifteenth day, the year is finally over.
The next step is to arrange the enthronement ceremony for everyone.
What the Queen meant was to choose three times. Since Concubine Shun is already a concubine, it is natural that she should have a separate time.
The nine concubines came at one time, and the people below them came at another time, so they did not come one by one.
The emperor had no objection, so everyone naturally agreed.
What Shen Chuliu was concerned about was that Shen Changjing finally returned to Beijing. The old man came back on the 16th and completely missed the entire Chinese New Year.
When he started attending court at the age of eighteen, Marquis Jing'an asked for retirement.
The reason was that he was old and lacked energy, and he did not dare to delay important military matters.
Of course the emperor did not allow it, but after some persuasion, he let the first wave pass.
That night, Qi Yixiu came to Cuiyunxuan. The last time he came was the birthday of the Sixth Prince a year ago, but he didn't stay the night because of something else.
Shen Chuliu greeted with a smile, knowing what was going on.
Qi Yixiu talked to her for a while, had dinner, and then mentioned Jing'an Hou.
"Marquis Jing'an is the backbone of the country and my arm. He is the person I trust most on the northern border defense line. He suddenly wants to retire. I think again, could it be that the incident last year caused the old marquis to be wronged and blame me?"
Shen Chuliu smiled angrily and handed the tea to the emperor: "Look at what the emperor said. Not to mention that the Shen family was fine last year, without any serious injuries, and even received so many rewards. Even if there is something, the grievance was not given by the emperor. Besides, even if it was given by the emperor, isn't it right?"
"The Shen family has been deeply favored by the emperor. When I was a child, my family had many things rewarded by the late emperor, all of which were placed in the incense hall. The emperor has given me even more rewards now. Which one is not treasured? The emperor said this, but I am thick-skinned and have followed the emperor for many years. I am not afraid. If the Shen family heard it, wouldn’t they be scared?"
"You still know that you are thick-skinned?" Qi Yixiu laughed.
"It's a good thing that the emperor trusts the Shen family and grandfather, but the more so, the more my grandfather is afraid to make mistakes. It is said that it is rare for a person to live to be seventy. Grandfather is over sixty, and although he has been in the army for many years, he looks strong and not old. But after all, he is old."
"In my humble opinion, the new emperor of Chao is different from the previous one. If there is any friction, grandpa will miss the opportunity due to his old age, which will harm Dayi. I am sure that if there is no movement in Chao, grandpa will definitely not retire now."
"My beloved concubine, what you said does make some sense." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is indeed well-informed."
"Look at what the emperor said. Although I am not talented, I was born in a family of generals. I have also heard some things since I was young." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Well, since my beloved concubine said so, it does make sense. I really can't bear to part with Marquis Jing'an!" Qi Yixiu sighed: "Having Marquis Jing'an in the Dayi Dynasty really makes me sleep peacefully."
"I will tell this to grandfather later. I'm afraid he will burst into tears when he hears it. The most precious thing is that the relationship between a monarch and his subject is harmonious." Shen Chuliu's eyes also turned red.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm not going to make you feel uncomfortable. I see that your outfit when you were fifteen was very good, and that collar was also beautiful. I'll ask someone to make you a few different ones later."
"It's good that Your Majesty rewards me, but what if other sisters also think it's good? Your Majesty will have to pay a large sum of money." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"You're so naughty. Can't I just give it to you? I won't give it to others." Qi Yixiu pinched her nose and was not stingy in trying to make her happy.
"Then your Majesty, please make a promise. I am counting on the good things you give me to show off." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Let them get angry later."
"What a success! Is Yan'er asleep?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"It's not so early. He is just playing by himself. Do you want to bring him to the emperor to see?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Qi Yixiu nodded, and soon the Sixth Prince arrived.
He did know someone: "Protect the Emperor."
After calling his father, he felt like something was missing. After a long while, Qi Yixiu no longer looked forward to it.
He suddenly said: "Protect the emperor!"
Qi Yixiu was amused by his son: "This child..."
"Why aren't you speaking clearly? When will you call me father properly?" Qi Yixiu pinched the little finger on the child's head.
Just as the Sixth Prince turned his head, Qi Yixiu pulled the red rope on Xiao Jiujiu off.
The Sixth Prince was fine, but the Emperor was stunned.
It's quite embarrassing.
Shen Chuliu chuckled: "It's okay, he has thick and smooth hair, so it falls out often." Who said there are no rubber bands in this era?
I can only use a rope. It's so small and I dare not use a hairpin, so it can only fall off like this eight hundred times a day.
However, this is the first time that it was torn off by my own father.
The Sixth Prince just shook his head and continued playing without caring.
Qi Yixiu put down the red rope with some discomfort.
The Sixth Prince ran back quickly because he didn't want to stay there.
Qi Yixiu looked at his chubby son and said, "Yan'er is always lively."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Yes, it's good to eat more and run more, and it would be best if you are in better shape and stronger."
Nowadays, most of the children in the palace are in good health. The third prince is also gradually getting better.
The eighth and ninth princes are both in good health.
Especially the ninth prince, who weighed seven kilograms. No wonder Zhen Chongyi had such a hard time giving birth to him.
That night, Qi Yixiu naturally would not leave. Shen Chuliu was bullied by him again and could not help but lie on the couch in anger: "Why is the emperor so..."
Qi Yixiu didn't ask her what she wanted to say, he just suppressed her first.
Qi Yixiu thought, I was going to ask you something. How come I am not tired of you now that you have given birth to a child? This woman is really... You can't stay away from her for long, and you feel itchy when you are away from her.
The next morning, Qi Yixiu actually apologized with a smile: "My beloved concubine, don't be angry. I will ask someone to make a necklace for you."
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Your Majesty is really, what happened on the couch, you still want to talk about it." Then she stood up and hugged the emperor's neck: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to give it to others. If there is still someone who has it, I can't show off."
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "Okay, I will satisfy you. But this afternoon, come to Taiji Palace to find me! I will serve you with writing materials."
Shen Chuliu...
"Yes..." I really am. Thank you. After all, there are many people who would like to have the opportunity to sleep with you.
When paying respects at Fengzao Palace, everyone looked at Shen Chuliu, who was dressed beautifully and brightly, and thought that this Concubine Jing was the first to sleep with the emperor this year.
On the fifth day, he went to Taiji Palace and stayed there for a day. On the eighteenth day, he slept with him again.
Shen Chuliu went in and first paid her respects to Concubine Kangde, Concubine Shun and Concubine Jin who had already arrived.
"Hello, Concubine Kangde, Hello, Concubine Jin, Hello, Concubine Shun."
"Get up." Concubine Kang De smiled and said, "Look, Jing Xiuyi knows how to dress up. No wonder the emperor likes it. I like it too."
Concubine Shun was busy praising her: "Yes, yes, sister Jing is beautiful and knows how to dress up. She is indeed charming."
Concubine Shun had a good impression of Shen Chuliu, and she herself was a weak and incompetent person, so naturally she would not say anything bad.
Good night (end of this chapter)
