Chapter 342: Don’t care at all
She asked her sixth sister to bring the woman into the mansion. Only after she came in could she be controlled, tortured, and… make her sad.
So when I wanted to enter the palace back then, did my fourth sister think the same way?
She never stopped the Shen family from sending her in.
But when I came in, I knew she didn't want to do it at all.
So all these years, I have been like the concubine who is about to be taken back to the Liu family.
After entering the palace, I endured hardships and suffered, but could not get out.
And the Emperor doesn't care at all...
At this moment, she felt a genuine fear. The Concubine Jing in front of her was smiling, thoughtful and polite.
She did not have the slightest air of bullying, yet people around her felt that she was indeed a royal concubine and they dared not treat her with disrespect.
Just like when she was in the palace, she was never polite to other concubines, but it seemed as if that was what she should do.
She should laugh and be angry...
I was too stupid, too foolish. I was naive at the beginning, but now it is too late to regret.
Zhijin gently pulled her: "Baolin?"
Shen Biyu suddenly realized: "Ah, it's okay. Let's go."
Jing Zhaoyi was about to leave in front.
Because there is no such taboo between men and women, Shen Chuliu just walked to the front. Although there is no such taboo between men and women, she is the emperor's concubine, so this is a taboo.
Of course, there was a banquet in the backyard today, and she was the main seatholder.
Even the Qu family couldn't surpass her, but Shen Chuliu was smart and naturally wouldn't take advantage of this.
When he came back from the front, he let Qu sit at the top of the table.
After Jing'an Hou retired, he came back and had a lot of contact with the Pei family. Now that he is celebrating his birthday, people from the Pei family have also come.
Here in the backyard are Shen Chuliu's aunt and cousin.
Everybody joked a little and praised him, and they were quite happy.
Shen Biyu was somewhat absent-minded throughout the whole process.
In the afternoon, Jing'an Hou finally had time to go into the backyard and met Jing Zhaoyi in Rongxi Hall of Qu's family.
"How is your Majesty doing in the palace now? How is the Sixth Prince?"
"It's fine for me and the Sixth Prince. We should move into Ruiqing Palace next year," Shen Chuliu said.
"Have you taken care of Ruiqing Palace? Although you are the Zhaoyi, you have to worry more when you live away from home." Marquis Jing'an had been thinking about this matter for a long time.
It is difficult to raise children in the palace. Although the Sixth Prince has been doing well so far, we cannot say that he will always be so.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I have arranged everything, and there are many people living there. Ruiqing Palace is close to Taiji Palace, so the emperor will know if there is any movement. The fourth prince also moved there this year." Shen Chuliu explained.
Jing'an Hou nodded: "That's good. It's not easy in the palace after all. It's also the blessing and ability of the queen."
Qu also said, "Yes, it has not been easy for the queen these years, and there is not much help from the family. Previously, when the maid of the Pei family got married, your aunt and I hurriedly packed up part of your mother's dowry and sent it to her to congratulate her. There are also some jewelry and other things, which are all kept. If you give birth to a princess in the future, and the family has additional things, they will naturally be given to you."
Perhaps it was because Jing'an Hou had more time after returning, and he was in the mood to think about many things in the mansion.
In the past few years, in addition to making friends with the Pei family, he also rebuilt the tombs of Shen Chuliu's parents.
Now the dowry issue must have been his idea.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "These matters are decided by the family."
"Your Majesty and Baolin have had a hard time too. You should take the banknotes I have prepared here. Even though it's not much, it's a token of my appreciation. The palace is not a place where you don't need money. There will be a lot of rewards in a year. Most of what the emperor gives are things, not silver. If you take the silver, you won't be embarrassed when it comes time to spend it." said Marquis Jing'an.
As she spoke, Qu took out two small boxes and handed them to the two of them.
"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for you to stay at home too long. Although the time has not come yet, it is better for you to go back early." Jing'an Hou said.
Concubines have a certain time limit for returning home. It's fine if they don't exceed that time. However, if they go back early, it seems that they don't value their parents' home as much as the palace.
Know the rules.
"Okay, then I'll go back first. We're all in the capital, so even if it's hard for me to come out, you can go in, it's not a big deal." Shen Chuliu smiled and stood up: "But I really can't stay any longer, so as not to make the people in the palace talk too much."
As he spoke, he was about to set off.
She really had no attachment, it was just a matter of face.
Qu also instructed a few maids and asked them to give gifts. Zizhu and Zirui each received a pair of red gold bracelets.
Then he was sent out. The carriage was already prepared. When Shen Chuliu got on the carriage, the Shen family and the guests were there to see him off respectfully.
She smiled and waved her hand: "Thank you for troubling everyone. You can continue to drink as usual. I will go back soon and ask someone to bring a few jars of good wine."
Everyone hurriedly thanked him, and Shen Chuliu then sat down and let down the curtain.
Shen Baolin got into the car at the back and just looked at Liang deeply for a while without saying anything.
The carriage wobbled back to the palace. Shen Baolin asked after a long while, "Is Fourth Sister really that powerful?"
Zhijin wanted to coax her and persuade her, but she had never seen her own Baolin look like this, as if he had no intention of fighting at all...
"Baolin, don't think too much, things will get better..."
Shen Baolin didn't speak for a long time, but buried her head in Zhijin's arms. She wanted to think carefully about how to live in the future.
She is still young, will she endure this for the rest of her life? After returning to the palace, Shen Chuliu asked Yuanxiao to go out and deliver wine.
She went to Fengzao Palace, and of course, Shen Baolin went there too.
It’s the rule to tell the mistress when you come back.
The queen didn't see it, she just said she knew and told him to go back and rest.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Shen Baolin followed behind without saying a word. Shen Chuliu didn't care either, and they just walked all the way until Shen Chuliu arrived first and then went back.
In Cuiyunxuan, the Sixth Prince was desperately looking for his mother.
Normally, his mother would be home when he went out to play for a while, so how come she disappeared?
The little guy didn't cry, he just made a fuss, looking for it loudly, and when he couldn't find it, he screamed loudly.
Everyone in the pavilion was very worried about the commotion. Yao Baolin was there the whole time, but unfortunately he couldn't persuade them to stop.
After finally waiting for Shen Chuliu, Jimei was so anxious that she almost cried: "Master is back. If you keep calling like this, the Sixth Prince's throat will be damaged..."
Shen Chuliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Qi Yan, what's your name?"
"Mother! Where have you been?" The Sixth Prince became angry instantly, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, just as arrogant as his name.
"Come on, tell me, why are you angry?" Shen Chuliu pulled his son to sit down.
The Sixth Prince was a little confused when he was pulled away: "Where is my mother?"
"What about you? Where did you go?" Shen Chuliu asked back.
"The garden." The Sixth Prince answered in confusion.
"What are you doing in the garden? Are you playing?" Shen Chuliu asked again.
The Sixth Prince nodded.
"Then you are not allowed to go there anymore. You are not allowed to play anymore." Shen Chuliu said with a stern face.
