Chapter 377 Persuasion
"Jiang Zilan was your study partner. It's normal for you to be sad about her death. But you are a princess and she is just the daughter of a minister. Aren't you going too far?" Shen Chuliu looked at the eldest princess who had a unhappy expression on her face.
"You know, in the palace, some mothers are honored because of their sons, and some sons are honored because of their mothers. Is Concubine Jin the concubine because of the emperor's favor or because of her family background? Or is it because she was the first to give birth to a healthy princess for the emperor?"
"The princess is still young, so she must have made mistakes. The emperor is the ruler of the world, but he is also the princess's biological father. As a father, he can naturally tolerate the princess's mistakes. However, the princess has always been like this. The emperor can't bear to let the princess go, but what about Concubine Jin? You know, if a mother in the palace makes a mistake, her children may be implicated. But what if her children make a mistake?"
Shen Chuliu finished her words and stood up and said, "Princess, take good care of yourself. The weather is getting warmer, so you will get better faster, right?"
"Thank you, Mother Jing, for your advice. I understand." The eldest princess said hurriedly, "Send Mother Jing away."
Shen Chuliu turned around and smiled at her again: "Then I'll leave."
After leaving Liufang Pavilion, Zizhu said, "Master has reminded the eldest princess, so she should be able to figure it out, right?"
"It's good if you figure it out. If you don't, there's nothing I can do. I'm just a passerby, and I've done my best." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "To be honest, I think she still has a bit of temper. If she still doesn't know how to take action, I won't care."
But he didn't expect that this move would directly send Jiang Zilan on her way.
Of course, it was also because Princess Junyi was involved in the Shen family's affairs and attempted to disrupt the court.
It was also because Princess Junyi was picky among the princes.
Otherwise, Jiang Zilan would not have died.
But the eldest princess doesn’t know these things, and there’s no need for her to know them.
The emperor was warning Princess Junyi, but he still really needed Jiang Han, so he just let Jiang Zilan die like this.
If this happened in any other minister's family, the entire family would be executed.
"Princess." Jasmine came in and helped the eldest princess sit up.
"Don't worry about me. I got it. Bring today's medicine here. I will drink it all." said the eldest princess.
Even if she is not that smart, she is not stupid, and she took Jing Zhaoyi's words to heart.
Now that things have come to this, it would be fine if the emperor was a little angry. But if she continued to be ill, the emperor would inevitably vent his anger on her mother after returning to the palace, and that would be more trouble than it would be.
Jasmine was so happy that she immediately agreed.
Shen Chuliu asked Yuanxiao to report to the Queen and then ignored the matter.
The Sixth Prince came back at noon, and as soon as he entered he started chirping, "The bird that Fifth Brother caught doesn't eat rice, but Mother and I want some too."
"What do you want? A bird that doesn't eat rice? If you don't eat, you will starve to death." Shen Chuliu pinched his chubby face.
After the last time he fell into the water, he was frightened and fell ill, and lost a lot of weight. But with good food and drink, he recovered in just a few months.
The Sixth Prince shook his head vigorously and shook off his mother's hand: "I want it!"
"If you don't give it to me, won't that kill the bird?" Shen Chuliu pinched again, using both hands at the same time.
"Yes!" the Sixth Prince said loudly without shaking his head.
"No." Shen Chuliu rubbed his face and hair.
The Sixth Prince got angry, snorted, turned around and ran away.
It just happened to bump into Zhemei who was just walking over.
Zhe Mei hurriedly pulled him back: "You didn't bump into me, did you? It was my carelessness."
The Sixth Prince was very angry. He raised his head, snorted loudly, and ran out.
"Master, what happened?" Zhemei was surprised.
"She's still making a fuss, ignore her. Call Yu Lou over." Shen Chuliu said.
Yu Lou came over, and Shen Chuliu only asked briefly and found out that the Fifth Prince had picked up a wounded sparrow.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "You can't tame a sparrow, just let it make a fuss and forget about it. If it really makes a fuss, pick an oriole or something and keep it. Just keep it and don't let it catch it."
We cannot allow children to be spoiled into the state of killing lives at will, even if they are birds.
However, the Sixth Prince was careless. After making a fuss for half a day, he ate his meal and woke up from his sleep, and he didn't care about anything anymore.
As for the birds on the Fifth Prince's side, he had long since asked his servants to take care of them, and he himself no longer cared about them.
Shen Chuliu was planning to have some fun with the Sixth Prince, but she didn't expect that when they met the next day, he didn't even mention anything...
This is really...
Angry Shen Chuliu pinched the child's face again.
The child was pinched so hard that he became silly and ignored her angrily.
Here, the mother and daughter were having a lively battle of wits and courage, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
The fact that Concubine Yan had been in the emperor's bedchamber for three consecutive days was enough to show the emperor's satisfaction with her.
On the fifth day, it was Concubine Mei who served him in bed, followed by Concubine Lu.
At this point, all three of them have found a clear path.
In the palace, it was already the end of May and the weather was really hot.
Shen Chuliu has just received clothes sent from the palace. These are new summer clothes made by the Clothing Bureau.
There are exactly twelve sets, covering everything inside and outside.
Because she was going to come to the palace this year, the Queen distributed the fabrics to various places before the summer.
All of them had been sent to the Service Bureau before Shen Chuliu left the palace.
This is the second batch received.
"Oh, your embroidery skills have improved again." Shen Chuliu smiled as she looked at the snow-white skirt embroidered with emerald green bamboo leaves.
She seldom wears such plain clothes, but the material itself is smooth and textured, so it’s not that plain.
"Okay, wear this outfit when you pay your respects tomorrow." Shen Chuliu pointed casually.
No one said anything, the dress looked very beautiful.
But I didn’t expect that the next day, I would wear the same clothes…
It would be difficult for Shen Chuliu to match this outfit with pure gold jewelry, so she paired it with white jade and tortoise shell jewelry.
Tortoise shell is precious, even more precious than gold, so although this outfit is a bit plain, it is not simple at all.
When I arrived at Heqing Palace, before I even sat down, I saw Concubine Yan coming.
Shen Chuliu was about to vomit blood. Concubine Yan was also wearing a plain white dress. It was fine if it was just plain white, but it was actually bamboo leaves! Everyone's eyes immediately became interesting. Concubine Qian laughed: "Oh, Concubine Jing never wears such plain clothes. What's wrong with her now? She is wearing the same clothes as Concubine Yan."
It's almost like saying that Shen Chuliu can't sit still because Miss Yan has been favored recently.
Shen Chuliu cursed the people in the clothing department in her heart. But she remained calm on the surface: "What a coincidence, I don't wear white for a thousand years, but I bumped into Miss Yan."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. Although I also have such clothes, the material is far inferior to yours. If there is any collision, it is my fault." Lady Yan was very polite.
"Ning Zhaorong has always liked plain white in the palace, and it's rare for me to wear it." Shen Chuliu smiled: "But I have to ask the Clothing Bureau."
"Oh, it's not a big deal that the clothes were hit. Why do you have to ask the Clothing Bureau? Don't the Clothing Bureau listen to you when they make clothes?" Concubine Qian said with a smile.
