Chapter 44: No Way
"Thank you for the hard work on my wrist. I'm fine." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"Naughty." Qi Yixiu looked at her: "Why is your wrist so precious?"
"The emperor's is the most precious. I am not as precious as the emperor." Shen Chuliu smiled and pulled Qi Yixiu's hand: "I will rub the most precious wrist in the world. Although it is definitely not very comfortable, it is my intention after all. I hope this most precious wrist can feel it too, and don't feel any pain."
Qi Yixiu was amused by her: "You have such a big mouth! How can you be so good at talking?"
"That is my ability, and I refuse to tell the emperor." Shen Chuliu acted coquettishly.
Qi Yixiu laughed and hugged her: "Okay, I won't ask about your ability to make a living. You've worked hard today, what reward do you want?"
"What can I want?" Shen Chuliu asked while hugging Qi Yixiu's neck.
"Then it depends on you, my dear."
"Then I can't think of anything else. The emperor doesn't even give it properly. He is bullying me." Shen Chuliu pouted.
With her outfit today, she looks like a cute and adorable young girl.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. I've also thought about your title, I'll give it to you during the New Year. How about I give you some jewelry now so you can dress up well?" Qi Yixiu pinched her nose.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. I will dress up nicely for you." Shen Chuliu said, and kissed Qi Yixiu on the face: "Your Majesty is very handsome."
After saying that, he got off the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to wash your hands."
Obviously shy, Qi Yixiu shook his head and said nothing. He took her hand and left the study to wash up.
Shen Chuliu has been thinking, can't this person really be given the title of "Yue"? But if the emperor wants to give it to him, he can't refuse it. Forget it, whatever.
In the evening, Qi Yixiu met with the ministers for a while, and Shen Chuliu washed himself first.
While waiting for the emperor to come back, she boldly hugged him.
Qi Yixiu was obviously in a good mood, and was naturally happy to see the little concubine with smooth long hair and wearing a snow-white inner garment.
When he rolled onto the bed, he praised her skin as white as cream.
One night, naturally, I was extremely satisfied.
Qi Yixiu went to court early in the morning. Shen Chuliu packed up, had a simple breakfast at Taiji Palace, and then went to Fengzao Palace, which was neither too late nor too early.
The Queen hadn't arrived yet, but Concubine Jin had already started again.
Probably because of what Empress Dowager Feng said before, Concubine Feng was not absent today.
It’s considered early.
"Talented Lady Shen, you came quite late today. The Taiji Palace is not far from the Fengzao Palace. It shows that you are not diligent." Concubine Jin said sourly.
Shen Chuliu said calmly, "When Li Xiaoyi slept with her, Concubine Jin found fault with her. The day before yesterday, when Lu Xiaoyi slept with her, Concubine Jin also disliked Lu Xiaoyi. I still remember that when other sisters slept with her, Concubine Jin also had some sour words. I know that Concubine Jin just can't stand seeing her sisters doing well. If you don't know, you might think that Concubine Jin is afraid of having more heirs in the palace."
"Puff, ouch ouch!" Yi Chongyuan almost spit out her tea: "It's always been said that Li Xiaoyi is quick-witted and unforgiving. Today I finally know that Shen Cairen also has a lot of things to say. Sister Jinfei, you are the same."
"Sister Jinfei always talks more than anything else." Concubine Yi said lightly.
Concubine Jin's face turned red with anger when she said this.
If she refused to acknowledge it, it was because she couldn't bear to see other people doing well. Then she had to acknowledge it because she was afraid that there would be another heir in the palace! God pity her, how could she have the courage to do that? Just as she was about to refute, the queen came out.
Concubine Jin was so angry that she glared at Shen Chuliu several times.
The Queen naturally knew about these things, but she didn't care. She never cared about such trivial matters when she was in a good mood.
In other words, I will only intervene when she is upset.
So after leaving Fengzao Palace, Concubine Jin walked over to Shen Chuliu and said, "Talented Lady Shen committed insubordination, shouldn't she be punished?"
"That also requires asking the Empress. Perhaps Concubine Yi and Concubine Song Zhaoyi are in charge of the palace affairs now, and they should be asked about the punishment. Is Concubine Jin going to punish me in front of Fengzao Palace?" Shen Chuliu said indifferently.
"So what if I punish you?" Concubine Jin was furious.
"Then I would like to ask your Majesty, as you are a second-rank concubine, is it against the palace rules if I am jealous, mean and talkative? How can you be in charge of whether I am late or not? Please show some respect."
Shen Chuliu left after she finished speaking, and Concubine Jin behind her was so angry that she called out "Shen", but she turned a deaf ear to her.
Concubine Yi came over holding the hand of the maid and looked around for a long time: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace. Madam Concubine Jin, I also advise you to be more respectful. You have some idea of how you got the position of concubine. Which of those concubines can you afford to offend?"
After saying that, she also took the maid's hand and walked away.
Concubine Jin was stunned for a long time and said, "I can't afford to offend anyone."
Not long after Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan, he heard that Concubine Jin had asked the imperial physician for help, saying that she was angry.
Zi Rui was shocked: "Cai Ren, is she saying that you pissed her off?... Why didn't she say anything when Li Xiaoyi contradicted her every day before?"
"Maybe, Li Xiaoyi was so angry that she almost exploded. I was so angry today that I exploded directly. Well, what are you afraid of." Shen Chuliu said nonchalantly: "Go ahead and make a fuss. I'm not the one who is embarrassed."
You need to change a queen who is petty, or an emperor who attaches great importance to rules, or a queen mother who likes to meddle in other people's business.
That Shen Chuliu is really worth being scared of.
But now, the queen doesn't care about all this, she just treats it all as a monkey show.
The Queen Mother was even more indifferent. She didn't even care about a miscarriage, let alone a quarrel.
As for the emperor, no wonder Concubine Jin has only just become a concubine. She definitely does not understand the emperor.
A concubine of the second rank quarreled with a talented lady and ended up getting angry herself?
Is it embarrassing? As expected, Qi Yixiu sent a message in the afternoon, saying that since Concubine Jin was ill, she should rest for three months. The green card was withdrawn first.
Although Concubine Jin might not get a turn to sleep with the emperor for four months now, not getting a turn and not being allowed to sleep with the emperor are two different things.
It was like a slap in the face, and Concubine Jin's waist pain and leg soreness were gone, and she felt better all over.
I was still angry, and my breath was completely shattered.
Concubine Jin became a laughing stock in the palace.
But the fact that Concubine Shen was favored really attracted the attention of the harem.
Now, Shen Cairen and Li Xiaoyi seem to have suppressed everyone.
At this time, naturally, people in the harem had many ideas.
However, Li Xiaoyi was the one who slept with the emperor the most, and Shen Cairen could not compare with her in this respect.
Shen Chuliu herself was not too worried. You should hide when you need to, but once you come out, you will inevitably have to make plans.
When enemies come, we will fight them with our generals; when water comes, we will block it with earth.
However, before the plan came into effect, something happened to someone.
Cao, who had just regained her status as a beauty, failed.
In the middle of the night, Shen Chuliu was woken up.
"Talented lady, Concubine Cao from Changqiuxuan is no longer useful." Zizhu said.
A few days ago, they were still saying that they wondered whether Concubine Cao would change her previous residence after her restoration to the throne.
That won't work.
