Chapter 375: Appreciating Flowers
After being crowned, he did not immediately sleep with the emperor.
After all, they have just entered the palace, even if it is a temporary palace, so they need some time to adapt.
So you can sleep with him only after three days.
Qi Yixiu is not an impatient person, so he is naturally not in a hurry.
Shen Chuliu, who was criticized by Zi Rui for not making progress, invited the emperor to appreciate the flowers.
It is a good time now when all the flowers are in full bloom.
After Qi Yixiu dealt with the matter in the capital, he was free for the time being, so he did not hesitate to spend some time strolling around with Shen Chuliu.
The palace has beautiful scenery and you can enjoy the view everywhere.
Shen Chuliu called in the actors again, listened to the play of talented men and beautiful women, set out fruits and snacks, and brewed some good tea.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Can this be called walking around?"
"I'm just lazy. Wouldn't it be nice for Your Majesty to sit down?" Shen Chuliu poured tea for Qi Yixiu.
She was brewing Kung Fu tea today, taking one sip at a time, slowly brewing it.
Zizhu just watched the stove and boiled water at any time.
Qi Yixiu didn't comment. He took a sip, put the teacup down, and tapped the table lightly.
It means another drink.
Shen Chuliu smiled at him and poured another glass.
She was wearing a light green jacket and skirt today, with a snow-white bodice embroidered with small apricot flowers.
She didn't wear a belt, so her waist wasn't visible, but Qi Yixiu knew that she had a slender and beautiful waist.
She combed her hair into a simple snake bun and paired it with a hairpin made of red gold and white jade.
Her almond eyes were slightly raised and her eyebrows were lengthened.
No matter how you look at it, it's a pretty homely outfit.
However, her eyes and eyebrows are still lively, and they don't lose their color even though her clothes are not too bright.
Qi Yixiu suddenly remembered a saying: Heavy makeup and light makeup are always suitable. It is indeed suitable.
This woman can make a huge fuss, or she can be as quiet as water.
The two of them listened to the opera, drank tea, and stayed quiet for a long time.
Until the fourth day of the New Year.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Qian, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Lu are outside asking for an audience."
Qi Yixiu put down the teacup in his hand and asked: "Why are they together?"
"Maybe it's because Huayun Pavilion and Fuyun Pavilion are close to each other?" Chusi said.
"Since you want to see him, just call him over." Qi Yixiu said indifferently, not looking very happy.
The fourth day of the New Year sighed and called three people over.
After a while, three people came in.
Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "Hello, Concubine Qian."
Concubine Qian waved her hand and paid her respects to the emperor.
Then Concubine Yu and Concubine Lu came to pay their respects to Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu observed for a while and found that Lady Lu was a little cautious and seemed reluctant to come over.
This is reasonable. After all, she is not yet old enough to serve the emperor in bed. It is not a good thing for her to show up in a hurry at this time.
Concubine Yu was also eager to distance herself from the matter: "I am sorry for disturbing the Emperor and Concubine Zhaoyi's pleasure. I really didn't know the Emperor was here."
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "My beloved concubine, you are too polite. Since you don't know, it must be fate."
Shen Chuliu smiled and asked, "Concubine Yu lives with Concubine Lu, why is she living with Concubine Qian?"
Concubine Yu seemed to be waiting for this sentence: "Replying to Empress Zhaoyi, I was originally strolling with Concubine Lu. Later, I met Concubine Qian and learned that the Emperor and Empress Zhaoyi were here, so I came to pay my respects."
They were almost saying that it was Concubine Qian who inquired about the emperor's whereabouts and it had nothing to do with them.
"So that's how it is." Shen Chuliu smiled gently.
"Jing Zhaoyi, what do you mean?" Concubine Qian snorted, "Since I learned that the emperor is here, I naturally came to pay my respects."
Shen Chuliu smiled and continued to make tea: "Look at what your majesty said, what can I mean? But it's useless to ask."
Qi Yixiu took the tea and drank another cup: "The tea is weak."
"If the tea is too weak, it's worse than water. Don't drink it." Shen Chuliu stopped.
"It's almost noon. I would like to invite Your Majesty to tea. Should Your Majesty invite me to dinner?" Shen Chuliu looked at the emperor with a smile.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Yeah, that's fair."
"Zhaoyi Jing is really good at calculating. She even wants the emperor to invite her to dinner?" Concubine Qian was not convinced that she was left out.
Shen Chuliu smiled and ignored her.
Qi Yixiu said, "My beloved concubines have paid their respects, so please go back first. Jing Zhaoyi is stingy, and since she asked me to invite her, she will definitely not bring anyone else."
Concubine Qian was so embarrassed that she had to stand up and said, "Yes, we will leave first."
Concubine Yu and Concubine Lu were very happy and hurriedly took their leave and followed Concubine Qian away.
After walking a long way, they arrived at the place where the three of them were going to part ways. Concubine Qian looked at Concubine Yu and said, "What do you mean? You got the benefit, but you still want to distance yourself from it?"
"Your Highness Concubine Qian is overthinking. I am just afraid of Concubine Jing. I told you everything when you asked me this question. How could I have any other intentions? I am not favored and I don't have any ability. Your Highness, please don't think too much."
Concubine Qian looked her up and down and snorted coldly: "I don't think you dare."
After saying that, he left.
Concubine Yu and Concubine Lu respectfully saw her off and went to the other side.
"Sister?" Lady Lu called softly.
"It's okay. We didn't mean to disturb the emperor." Concubine Yu smiled.
She had never been a strong-willed person since she entered the palace. Although she had followed Fang Cairen and taken action a few times before, she knew that she could not do anything, so she just kept to herself.
After giving birth to the princess, she became even quieter.
There are too many powerful people in the palace. She is not afraid of dying, so how can she dare to commit suicide? "Thank you for your advice, sister." Lady Lu smiled.
"It's not a question of whether I should give you any advice or not, but I just don't want to cause any trouble. In this harem, I just want to live a peaceful life."
"Sister, you're right. I think so too," said Lady Lu.
Lady Yu didn't say anything. She wouldn't believe Lady Lu now. We'll see what happens in the future.
Shen Chuliu and the emperor set the meal here. When the Sixth Prince went home at noon and didn't see his mother, he ate an extra bowl of rice in anger.
Shen Chuliu didn't stay with the emperor all day, she came back by herself in the afternoon.
The emperor did not turn over the card that night and rested in the Haiyan Palace.
The next day, someone from the Shen family came to deliver some gifts, all of which were some promising people in the farm.
The main purpose was to kowtow to Shen Chuliu and convey a message.
"Everything is fine at home. The old lady, the first lady, and the third lady all greet the queen." The old woman kowtowed.
The one who is qualified to kowtow to the Empress is not an ordinary woman. This is Song's dowry.
"Stand up and talk." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
The old woman hurriedly stood up and talked about the family affairs, emphasizing that the two children in the third room were both fine.
Shen Chuliu nodded after hearing this: "That's good. Finally, a big thing has passed. Since the two children are raised under the name of Aunt San, it is also a good thing. Zizhu, choose two things for the two children."
Zizhu agreed and went to look for it.
The old woman hurriedly thanked him.
"Tell the Madam that everything is fine here too. What happens to the Shen family in the future depends on the Master."
The old woman understood and quickly replied yes, thinking that there was a huge difference between the fourth and fifth girls.
