Chapter 346 Chrysanthemum
Shen Chuliu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Well, this palace has locked me up like a fool, and I don't understand as well as you do."
When he stood up, the Sixth Prince came running over. He still remembered what happened last night, so he hurriedly kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed and looked outside.
I don’t know what I saw. I was alone. I was surprised and astonished. It was so lively.
When breakfast was served, Yao Baolin also came: "Did your Majesty sleep well last night? I really heard a lot of wind and rain all night."
"Okay, no matter what wind or rain comes, the house is solid, what should I be afraid of?" Shen Chuliu said.
"Your Majesty is able to hold her ground after all." Yao Baolin praised, and then touched the head of the Sixth Prince who had just come down from the ground.
Only then did he say a few polite words and come over to have his meal.
The Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior is very busy today.
The two Empress Dowagers, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Ruiqing Palace, needless to say, they all rushed to serve them.
The rest can only be arranged according to who is favored and who has a higher position, otherwise it will be too busy.
In Cuiyunxuan, of course, she dared not neglect it. Yao Baolin was just lucky, if she had to rely on herself, she didn't know how many days she would have to wait.
They waited until almost noon, and the people in the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were terrified. They apologized to Shen Chuliu in fear.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get busy. Can you finish it today?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, all you need to do here is replace the floor lamps and lanterns with new ones, and replace some of the miscellaneous items. As for Yao Baolin, that's the window, that's easy, it will be done in a moment." The eunuch smiled apologetically.
"Then go ahead. Do a good job and I'll definitely reward you." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
The rain outside hasn't stopped yet, but it's very light now, and the sky is overcast without any sunshine.
It makes people very uncomfortable.
The people in the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau worked very quickly and finished everything in less than two hours.
As expected, Shen Chuliu rewarded them, and the people in the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau also treated them according to their needs, so they were naturally diligent when they were in Cuiyunxuan.
Cut off the branches and flowers that were blown away to make the tree look quite attractive.
Only then did he go to receive the reward.
The yard looked brand new now. Although there were still traces of broken branches and crooked flowers, it was nothing special after all.
"The wind comes in gusts. It won't be so windy today." Zizhu said.
The Sixth Prince had just been following those people from the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau, watching them curiously.
The young eunuchs in the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau were almost unable to work because of the staring. However, the Sixth Prince was not staring at them, he was mainly curious.
Shen Chuliu didn't care and just asked the wet nurse to follow.
Now that the fun was over, he wanted to go out, but it was raining, so Shen Chuliu disagreed.
After playing for a while, I went back to take a belated nap.
"Master, it is said that Concubine Xin had a frightened pregnancy yesterday. The imperial physician has been called and the emperor has also gone." Jimei said.
"She is just timid." Chi Su snorted.
"Don't worry about her." Shen Chuliu waved her hand: "It's much colder now than last night. You can ask the Sixth Prince to add more clothes and blankets so he doesn't catch a cold. But don't overdo it either, or you'll get sick if you get too hot."
"Hey, don't worry, master." Zi Rui went over to take a look personally.
"I went to the kitchen earlier and saw that there was a lot of trouble there, so they were rushing to prepare lunch. I'm afraid that many places won't be able to eat on time today."
"This is when the benefits of being favored come into play." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
"When I went there before, Yi Chongyuan's people were standing behind me. When I left, they were still queuing. Even Su Meiren's people who came later stood in the front." Jimei said.
Yi Chongyuan has been like an invisible person in the past few years. Ever since she gave birth to that child and failed to raise him, she has not served the emperor. Although she still has a rank among the nine concubines, it is the lowest one.
Life was obviously not going well.
Shen Chuliu said, "This is not surprising. The emperor has been on the throne for so many years now. Even if she came from the palace, she has experienced so many bad things. The emperor gave her this concubine as a concubine, which is the last good thing. The emperor will also take care of whether she lives a good life. Although our emperor does not value women, there are always more and more people in the harem. In a few years, if a few more come in, who knows what will happen then?"
"No matter what, my master, you are the Zhaoyi and you have the Sixth Prince, so you will be safe. In the past few years, no matter who is favored, you are still safe, right?" Jimei said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu sighed and said no more.
Who knows what will happen in the future?
After this day, the weather became colder day by day. According to the weather in the imperial city, although it was October, it was not particularly cold yet. It would have to be November at the latest. However, this year it was obviously early.
The Ministry of the Interior had to prepare charcoal for the winter. Every place would receive an extra month's allowance this year.
Shen Chuliu naturally didn't have to worry about these little things, as what was necessary would naturally be there.
When the weather gets cold, the kitchen makes more soups, and Shen Chuliu and her son are well taken care of.
However, three days later, when paying respects in the morning, Yi Chongyuan went directly to the Queen Mother for help.
"I know that I am of low status and don't talk much, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too much. I have begged for help several times, but no one has come yet. I just need a floor lamp and a piece of window paper, and some small things, which are hard to find."
Yi Chongyuan was really angry.
The Queen frowned: "Go, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask what's going on! Apart from Yi Chongyuan, is there anything else that hasn't been settled?"
After hearing this, several people stepped forward, including Chen Xiaoyi, the man just now, Shen Baolin, Feng Yunv and Zhuang Gengyi.
These are people who have been out of favor for thousands of years and have no backing.
The Queen's expression became even uglier. "Tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs that if things don't work out today, I will personally tell the Emperor that the person in charge of the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau should be replaced."
The queen naturally knew that the servants flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, so she only set a deadline and did not punish them. I think it will be done in one day. If you are in a hurry, it will be done in half a day.
But if we talk about changing people, we will offend people, and it is unnecessary.
Even if you change people, it will be the same in the future.
Everyone thanked the Queen, but Yi Chongyuan did not dare to hope that the Emperor would punish the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
She felt sad for herself, but what else could she do?
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Rong Jieyu came forward and asked, "Your Majesty, have you packed everything?"
"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern. How are you doing?"
"My case was nothing serious. It was all healed yesterday, although it was a little late. In the Imperial Garden, there are chrysanthemums that were moved in yesterday evening. Your Majesty, would you like to take a look at them?"
"Okay, these chrysanthemums that have not been blown by the wind and rain must be worth seeing. Let's go now."
So the three of them went to the Imperial Garden, and sure enough, there were quite a few chrysanthemums there.
However, although the other damaged flowers and trees around had been cleaned up, they still looked horrible.
The three of them strolled around for a while, and Concubine Rong said, "Empress Xin has kept the emperor for two days. She said before that she would not be as good as before, but now she is still the same."
