Chapter 392: Inferiority
On this side, Mei Mei was having a great time beating people with sticks and giving them sweet dates.
Coincidentally, in Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu asked someone to set up the pot, and indeed, he and Yao Baolin ate together.
But what they didn’t expect was that the emperor would come when they were halfway through the meal.
Shen Chuliu was speechless. It was raining.
The emperor came in and blocked Yao Baolin who was about to leave.
Yao Baolin's heart was about to burst, and she hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty, I wish you the best of health."
"Get up, my beloved concubine. What are you eating? I'm here at the right time." Qi Yixiu waved casually to Yao Baolin, then walked up to Shen Chuliu and helped her up.
"The emperor didn't have dinner? We were already late." Shen Chuliu was surprised.
"I've been too busy, so I thought of coming to your place. It's not too late, right?" Qi Yixiu was really hungry, and everything smelled delicious.
"Since the emperor is here, we will naturally change the table." Shen Chuliu made a gesture to call someone.
"No need, just add some things. I see you have just started, so sit down and we can use it together." Qi Yixiu said.
Yao Baolin did not dare to take the initiative to suggest leaving, so he could only wait for the emperor and Shen Chuliu to sit down, and then he sat down too.
She hadn't dined with the emperor at such a close distance for many years, and she was very nervous.
But I didn't dare to show it too much.
Qi Yixiu didn't care. He treated Yao Baolin almost the same as Shen Chuliu's maid.
Soon, the kitchen delivered a lot of things, including additional side dishes and stir-fried dishes.
The atmosphere was not bad. After finally finishing their slightly late dinner, Yao Baolin still waited to pour tea for them all before leaving.
Qi Yixiu was now leaning back on the couch, relaxed. He saw a vase on the table beside him and asked, "Did I give you this vase when you entered the palace? Are you still using it?"
"This vase is made from an excellent imperial kiln. I don't know much about porcelain, but I think its texture is good. It's like jade. I like it."
Qi Yixiu laughed when he heard this. He wondered what this woman wanted to say.
He gave her so many good things, but she kept this one because it was of better quality?
But he didn't ask so clearly: "Tomorrow I will ask someone to look for it again. If there is any more like this, I will send it to you."
Shen Chuliu smiled and agreed.
She asked someone to cut a plate of Hami melon and put it on the table: "Your Majesty, would you like to have some of this? It's not as sweet as last year's."
"There has been plenty of rain this year, so it's naturally not too sweet. But it's not bad either." Qi Yixiu said after tasting a piece.
"I remember that you like this. A lot of it was offered as tribute this year, and I will save it for you later. It's not a good idea to keep too much here, so just put it in the ice storage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They will take care of it and make sure it won't freeze and can be kept for a long time." Qi Yixiu said.
"They gave it to me and put it in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What should I do if they don't give it to me?" Shen Chuliu bargained with the emperor.
"You are so stingy. If I say I will give it to you, who would dare not give it to you?" Qi Yixiu pinched her hand.
Shen Chuliu also smiled: "Then when the time comes, I will come to you with this little matter, please don't despise it."
Both of them laughed.
"Forget it, forget it. If you think it's too little, I'll ask someone to store some other fruits for you so that you can have more fruits to eat during the winter." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu was satisfied this time and thanked the emperor.
The emperor satisfied her, now it is her turn to satisfy the emperor.
So, she was soon taken into the inner room by the emperor.
As for Shen Chuliu, he was also thinking that the emperor was about to come, so his normal needs still had to be met.
As a result, the two cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.
The next morning, Shen Chuliu almost didn't get up again.
Really...
The weather is cold and it's time to sleep. I would want to stay in bed if there is nothing to do, let alone if the emperor comes and I have to toss and turn all night.
Fortunately I got up. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and it would be embarrassing if I didn’t get up.
I'm going to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.
Qi Yixiu was not attending court today, and he just wanted to go to the Queen Mother's place, so he had breakfast with Shen Chuliu and went to the Queen Mother's place first.
Shen Chuliu still has to go to the Queen.
Concubine Qian would feel uncomfortable if she didn't provoke Shen Chuliu. On the contrary, Concubine Qian Shu was now confronting the pregnant Li Zhaoyuan, and the two were engaged in a verbal battle.
However, no matter how much Concubine Qian provoked her, Shen Chuliu killed her with one sentence: "The Emperor went to see the Empress Dowager. Concubine Qian, are you wearing something a little too casual today?"
When these words were spoken, Concubine Qian was no longer thinking about clothes. She was a little afraid that Shen Chuliu would embarrass her in public, so she smiled, laughed it off and walked away.
As for other concubines, they paid more attention to their clothes. Some of them did not see the emperor on a daily basis, so they were very excited when they heard these words.
Shen Chuliu did not despise such people. After all, she could see the emperor and go to Taiji Palace when she had nothing to do, but most of the concubines did not dare to and could not do that.
Even if they dared, they would be stopped. Not everyone can go to Taiji Palace to find someone.
Shen Chuliu thought about it, picked up the tea, took a sip, and concealed his sigh.
"After all, it is Empress Jing Zhaoyi who knows all these things." Lady Mei said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu put down the tea bowl and looked at her. Shen Chuliu was a little curious at first. What was wrong with this beautiful lady Mei? She seemed very hostile to her.
However, after Shen Chuliu looked at her carefully, he seemed to understand a little.
Does this mean that kings do not meet each other?
Just like, Ning Zhaorong did not accept Concubine Yan because they had the same personality.
While Shen Chuliu didn't do anything, Mei Mei was not convinced, because she also wanted to be beautiful.
Indeed, Miss Rose's appearance is also suitable for wearing gold and silver. Not only does it not look tacky, but it also looks noble and beautiful.
Needless to say, Shen Chuliu liked it, and the emperor liked it too. He gave her countless gorgeous jewelry and fabrics all year round, so it was natural for her to live in luxury.
For example, today, she was wearing a long gown with silver, red and gold thread, and on her double-knife bun were the gold-brushed jewelry given by the emperor. But fearing that it would not look good enough, Zizhu gave her a few huge rubies set in pure gold.
There was also a pair of gold and gemstone tassels hanging in her hair, making her skin look whiter than snow and her eyebrows and features look delicate.
Coincidentally, Miss Mei was also wearing a warm orange-red jacket and skirt today, and her hair was also decorated with gold jewelry.
But compared to Shen Chuliu, he is much inferior.
No matter how free they were, the treatment of beauties was much worse than that of Zhaoyi.
After all, she didn't have such delicate brushed jewelry or such large ruby decorations.
Maybe her facial features are more profound because she has some Western Hu blood, but no matter what her facial features are, she needs to dress up in this harem.
The first time Shen Chuliu wore the same clothes as Yan Jieyu, it was purely an unintentional mistake. She herself didn't really like that kind of clothing.
In the past few months, most of the time, the beautiful lady Rose has been under so much pressure that she always feels dull and lacks luster.
But Shen Chuliu thought, is it because Mei Mei herself is inferior? In the palace, aren't there only two people who are elegant and simple? Aren't most people dressed in glittering costumes?
But she also knew that there was hatred in the harem for no reason.
