Chapter 437: Winning People's Hearts
Second Prince, you are overthinking. Is it that easy to win people's hearts?
Our Sixth Prince has been through a good life since he was a child. This snack is more like giving it to the Eighth Prince.
As the atmosphere in the former dynasty became tense, the harem became depressed.
After all, the emperor had no time to enter the harem, and secondly, he was in a bad mood, so no one dared to bump into him.
In this way, Shen Chuliu's visit attracted a lot of attention.
When paying respects the next day, Concubine Qian Shu sneered, "The emperor is busy now, with so many important events in the past, and some people don't know the importance of it. They are trying to win favor at this time. They are really ignorant."
Shen Chuliu sneered and drank his tea lazily, not even bothering to pay attention to her.
Qian Xiuyi quickly replied, "What Concubine Qian Shu said is true. After all, the emperor has no intention of coming to the harem at this time. It's fine if he doesn't come, but it won't look good if he rushes to go."
"Oh, how did Empress Qian Xiuyi know that they were in a hurry? As far as I know, it was the fourth day of the lunar new year that the eunuch invited Empress Jingfei to go." Mei Mei smiled and said, "Why does Empress Qian Xiuyi sound jealous?"
"Isn't it just jealousy? If it was Qian Xiuyi who was invited yesterday, wouldn't you have said that?" Li Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "Hey, Qian Xiuyi, why are you saying that?"
Maybe Li Zhaoyuan was taken too well after giving birth this time, so she gained some weight.
But his complexion is as good as ever.
"Qian Xiuyi has had this problem for a long time. But Concubine Qian Shu is interesting. She is blind to something that even Lady Mei knows." Shen Chuliu was not polite.
"Concubine Jing! Please be more polite when you speak!" Concubine Qian Shu said angrily.
"Look at what you have done. Why do you want to criticize me? If you do, I will not be polite. Who told me that I am a concubine now? Although I am one level lower than you, you can't beat me or punish me. Unless you do it yourself."
Shen Chuliu is so angry that he is about to die.
This is the truth.
Although there is a difference between the first-rank and second-rank concubines, it is not possible to say that a first-rank concubine can punish a second-rank concubine.
What's more, Concubine Jing is enjoying great favor now, while Concubine Qianshu has long been on the decline.
As soon as the Queen came out, she said, "Concubine Jing worked hard yesterday. The Emperor is so tired, and I am very worried. It is a good thing that Concubine Jing can let the Emperor have a good rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking highly of me. The Emperor woke up yesterday and drank the soup that Your Majesty sent him. Although he didn't say it directly, he looked happy. The Emperor has indeed worked hard." Shen Chuliu said, "After all, Your Majesty and the Emperor have a deep love for each other."
The two of them praised each other and they were truly in harmony.
The group of people below were very upset, but they didn't know what to say.
The queen is really weird. With so many concubines, she doesn't seem to like any of them. But she is nice to Concubine Jing.
When everyone left Fengzao Palace, Mei Mei smiled and said, "The jewelry worn by Concubine Jing today is really exquisite. It suits the occasion very well."
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Really? You have a good eye. I'll go back first."
Mei Mei smiled and said, "Goodbye, Your Majesty."
After a while, when they were far away, Yao Baolin said, "This beautiful lady Mei is quite interesting. She was provoking the queen before, but now she is being polite."
"Judging the situation, it's a good sign. But I noticed that Lady Su looked good." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "You called her the wrong name. It's Concubine Su."
"Concubine Su is also interesting. She is not close to anyone in the harem. She was good friends with you in the early years, but now she doesn't care. She just occasionally goes out with Concubine Rong." Yao Baolin shook his head.
"That's because she has the ability to get by without relying on anyone. But now in the harem, Concubine Qianshu has lost her power, Concubine Kangde is not on the same path. Concubine Qian has also fallen. Concubine Jin is useless. Concubine Shun doesn't dare to do anything reckless. Just wait and see, slowly, a new pattern will be established. Look, Lady Mei is showing her affection to me."
Yao Baolin nodded: "But I think this position of the fourth rank... one of them is the Shufei and the other is the Defei, it is not easy for anyone to jump over and become the Xianfei. People from outside cannot do that either."
"Who knows? The princes are grown up and have their own ideas. In a few years, the third, fourth, fifth and sixth princes will all be ten years old. Even if the ten-year-old selection of the crown prince is meaningless now, it is only a matter of time. The court officials will not watch the Great Yi Dynasty without a crown prince. Now is not the time of the late emperor."
It was easy to bet back then, as there were only a few princes.
Now it depends on the emperor's attitude. The prince is still there.
At that time, the harem would not be like it is now.
Concubine Qian Shu has little chance of winning, but she will not give up.
There are plenty of capable people in the harem.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan and changing her clothes, Yuanxiao came in and said, "Master, word came from outside that the young lady of the Pei family is seriously ill and is not looking well."
"Why did it suddenly become like this? Why didn't you call a doctor?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
This should be referring to Pei Ji's eldest daughter.
The child is one year younger than the Sixth Prince.
"I did invite him before, but it was probably of no use. Now there is such a big event in the court. It is said that Lord Pei has not returned home for seven or eight days and is in the cabinet every day. Young Lord Pei is also in the Hanlin Academy and stays there all the time. There are only female family members at home." Yuanxiao said.
"Are you sending me this message hoping that I will change the imperial physician?" Shen Chuliu understood.
Otherwise why would he come to pass on the message.
"From what I see, that's what he means. I guess there's nothing we can do about it."
"Then go ahead. Go to the Imperial Medical Bureau, tell them about her condition, and ask the most useful doctor to come." Shen Chuliu said.
Yuanxiao agreed.
After sending the imperial physician out of the palace, Yuan Xiao came back and explained to Shen Chuliu: "From what I heard, the young lady probably has lung disease because she was greedy for coolness. It's just that she was delayed before."
"Can it be cured?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"What Imperial Doctor Zhao means is that there is a way, but we need to look at the details. Even if the disease is cured, we still have to take good care of ourselves, otherwise it will easily relapse." Yuanxiao explained.
Shen Chuliu nodded. That’s right. Lung disease is indeed more likely to leave a root of disease.
"Just save your life first."
At the Pei family's home, the women in the backyard were waiting anxiously. Finally, the imperial physician arrived and they brought him in impatiently.
At least this time, out of respect for Concubine Jing, the imperial physician did not just go through the motions. After taking the patient's pulse, he immediately prescribed medicine.
"Don't worry. Although this disease is serious, there is a way to treat it. Just take the medicine and endure for a day or two and you will be fine. Miss, you are blessed with great fortune."
After hearing this, Ye heaved a sigh of relief and fainted.
He hurriedly helped her lie down again. The imperial physician took a look and said with a smile, "Young Madam is pregnant. It will take less than three months. You need to be careful."
Zheng and Lin didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy for a moment, and hurriedly rewarded the imperial physician with a large amount of silver.
After sending it out, Zheng sighed: "Fortunately, I can still beg the queen, otherwise, what are we women going to do at this time!"
"Yes, yes, fortunately, we still have the queen." Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
