Chapter 388 Difficulties
Shen Chuliu’s temper was known to the emperor.
Qi Yixiu didn't think there was anything inappropriate because she replaced the things given to Concubine Yan.
Anyway, they are all his women, and he dotes on both of them. It doesn't matter which one he dotes on more or less.
What's more, Shen Chuliu has served him for many years and has a high status and children, so naturally he is different.
If Ning Zhaorong represents the only person who is still favored among those who came from the Qiandi Palace, then Shen Chuliu represents the one who is still favored among the first group of people after the emperor entered the palace.
And Li Zhaoyuan is another group.
Relatively speaking, these three people are considered to be the most stable among the elderly.
Especially Jing Zhaoyi.
How many people are waiting to be favored while also hoping that the newcomers can defeat these old ones.
In other words, since people themselves have no chance of being favored, they naturally don't want to see others living well.
But that night, the emperor went to Cuiyunxuan again.
Shen Chuliu didn't expect the emperor to come, and when she came out to greet him, she wasn't dressed very fancy.
Qi Yixiu was in a good mood when he saw her. He held her hand and asked, "My beloved, have you had your meal yet?"
"No, the emperor doesn't have any either? Let's use that one. Zizhu, go and ask someone to talk to the kitchen and add the things the emperor likes." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is thinking about me."
"Look at what the emperor said. The sisters in the harem are all thinking about you."
"Why do I sound sour when you say this?" Qi Yixiu pinched her hand.
"Then how about serving some dumplings to the emperor, with some aged vinegar?" Shen Chuliu didn't respond, but just smiled.
Qi Yixiu shook his head and said nothing more.
Soon, the meal was served, and Qi Yixiu picked up some food for Shen Chuliu in a good mood.
The two of them had a very enjoyable meal together.
After dinner, he did not rush to rest, but went to the yard to wait for the Epiphyllum to bloom. The gardener had just said that some of the Epiphyllums in Shen Chuliu's garden would bloom tonight.
"Your Majesty has come at a good time." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu embraced her and said, "If I hadn't come here myself, would you have invited me to appreciate the flowers?"
"Your Majesty is so unreasonable. Why do you blame me? What if I go and delay Your Majesty's important business?" Shen Chuliu snorted and punched the emperor's chest with affection.
The emperor was not annoyed by this, "In the past, when I was busy in Taiji Palace, didn't my beloved concubine come when she had something to do? Now you are so obedient? This is not like you."
"The Emperor also said that he had something to do. The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, but he is also my husband. If I have something to do, I will naturally go to the Emperor. But how dare I do something like just admiring the flowers? Besides, it would be fine if the Emperor is in Taiji Palace, but what if he is not? I would be embarrassed to let the newcomers laugh at me."
Shen Chuliu hummed, looking dissatisfied but holding back.
This means that if Qi Yixiu is in someone else's palace, she will go and call him? It would be embarrassing.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "You are such a talker. When did I not allow you to look for me? Anyway, it's my fault. I have neglected you all this time. Concubine Yan..."
Shen Chuliu suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Qi Yixiu's mouth: "Your Majesty is so unreasonable! You know that your Majesty dotes on her, but you still come to me and say that. You despise your Majesty!"
Qi Yixiu smiled and took her hand down, kissing her on the lips: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Shen Chuliu snorted and turned her head to withdraw her hand, her cheeks flushed: "The emperor is not wrong."
Qi Yixiu loved her little look and hugged her as usual: "Today I will listen to everything my beloved concubine says. First, I will accompany you to appreciate the flowers, and then..." He whispered a few words in her ear that only she could hear. Shen Chuliu blushed completely this time.
He dodged backwards and said, "Your Majesty! How can your Majesty be so evil!"
Qi Yixiu felt better and suddenly picked her up: "I've thought about it, let's enjoy the flowers tomorrow. Today I want to enjoy the beauty."
Shen Chuliu struggled for a few times and was almost thrown down. She was so scared that she quickly hugged Qi Yixiu, thinking, this dog emperor! Then she was carried back to the inner room.
Naturally, it was not mentioned in the red wave.
At the entrance of the side pavilion, Yao Baolin came out and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden to see the Epiphyllum."
Baoyu followed her, holding a lantern.
When they reached the main gate, the lantern was taken by a young eunuch who said, "Your servant is here to serve Yao Baolin."
The three of them went to the Imperial Garden together.
They didn't go to places where there were too many people. There were many night-blooming cereus planted in the imperial garden, so Yao Baolin chose a quiet place to sit.
The young eunuch holding the lantern did not come over. He just hung up the lantern and stood far away.
Baoyu asked, "Baolin, are you unhappy?"
"Not really, I just feel a little emotional." Yao Baolin smiled and looked at the lantern: "Look, this lantern, the queen thought it was beautiful, so she asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make eight of them. It is indeed beautiful."
"Baolin, Empress Jing Zhaoyi... is also very good to us." Baoyu said.
"You don't have to remind me. Do I have any other ideas? I'm so old. I'm just feeling emotional. There are so many people coming and going in this palace. Concubine Jing Zhaoyi is really amazing."
Baoyu squatted down to accompany her: "This servant has been unable to see through the majesty for all these years."
"If you can't see through it, then don't see through it. It's okay to know nothing at all."
After saying this, Yao Baolin fell silent, and Baoyu didn't dare to speak either.
Yao Baolin thought, she was still jealous.
The emperor is her man. When she entered the palace, she liked him very much.
That's why she couldn't wait to show off in front of the emperor and wanted the emperor to favor her.
It’s a pity that she didn’t do it well.
Cuiyunxuan was an evergreen place in the palace, and she benefited from it and often saw the emperor.
But in reality, she didn't dare to see the emperor and usually hid.
And the emperor couldn't even remember her.
She took a deep breath and stood up: "Let's go and enjoy the flowers."
There is no point in thinking too much. Hasn't it been like this for so many years? In Cuiyunxuan, after the two people had gone through so much trouble, they both felt hungry.
I didn't want to let myself down, so even though it was already late, I got up and asked the kitchen to bring me some midnight snacks.
Shen Chuliu was tired and hungry. He wondered if he had low blood sugar. His hands were shaking from hunger.
"Master, are you okay?" Zi Rui was very scared.
"It's okay. Just ask the imperial physician to check it out tomorrow. I guess it's because you feel dizzy when you're hungry. It's not a big problem. Just don't starve yourself." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu looked at her and said, "Ask Doctor Zhao to see her tomorrow morning."
"It will be the same after we come back from paying our respects. I check your pulse regularly, so there will be nothing wrong." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu just nodded and said nothing more.
After eating and drinking, I lay down again, thinking I would fall asleep...
As a result, the emperor said he was not full.
Shen Chuliu struggled for several times, and finally succumbed to the emperor's power. Forget it, can we still get a divorce? Let's just make do with it.
This made it extremely difficult to get up the next day.
