Chapter 443 Study Hard
Even though Zhuang Gengyi was a fool, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red and his neck became thick. For a while, he probably didn't dare to come.
When Nanny Zhang came back, Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Are you worried about not having anything to do? That's perfect. Since Nanny has nothing to do now, you can fill in the missing palace maids. Go to Yufu Palace to teach them first. When I move there, won't it be just in accordance with the rules? Let Nanny handle this matter."
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she was overjoyed and agreed immediately, full of enthusiasm.
The next day we went to select people.
It just so happened that they had dealt with an ignorant maid before, and they said all kinds of things, but for the young palace maids, they knew that they could not have any extra thoughts when serving Concubine Jing, otherwise they would die.
However, those who follow Concubine Jing are treated well, mainly because Concubine Jing is favored. Isn't it a blessing to follow a favored master?
So there are still many people who want to come.
Since Aunt Zhang was able to stay in Cuiyunxuan for so many years, she must be of good quality, and her vision in selecting people is excellent.
After the emperor resumed entering the harem, the atmosphere in the harem became lively, and naturally there were more frictions.
Shen Chuliu sat in Fengzao Palace to pay respects every day and listened to the noisy crowd.
On the fifteenth day, one must go to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay respects.
The ones who can go now are the same as before, and at least you have to be a beauty.
Think about it, Yao Baolin is really pitiful. He has been with the emperor for more than ten years, but he just never had this opportunity.
In Ci'an Palace, Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and asked everyone to stand up.
"During these times, the emperor was busy, and I was too lazy to call you here. Now everything is finally going smoothly."
The Queen stood up and said, "Your Majesty is right. Now we are finally on the right track."
"Well, sit down and answer." Empress Dowager Li waved her hand.
The Queen sat down, and the Queen Mother asked again: "How is Concubine Su?"
Su Jieyu had a miscarriage before, so she rested for ten days before going out.
"To answer the Empress Dowager, I am fine. It's just that the previous incident still has some impact on my health. It's also my fault." Concubine Su said.
Nowadays, if there is any problem with a child, it is the mother's problem.
"Well, let's not talk about the past. You should take good care of yourself this time, no matter whether you are a prince or a princess." said the queen mother.
Concubine Su thanked the Queen Mother and sat back.
The Queen Mother asked the princes and princesses the usual questions, and they all answered one by one.
In the past, this would have been the past.
But today, it was clear that the Queen Mother still had something to say.
"I heard that Concubine Jing is moving?"
Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "In reply to the Empress Dowager, we will not move this year. The date for next year has not been decided yet. Although I have received the benefits of the title of concubine, the canonization ceremony has not yet been held."
Shen Chuliu is saying that he is not yet legitimate, so he won't move.
The Queen Mother's words are also thought-provoking.
Hear?
The Emperor has been cleaning up the Yufu Palace for her with great fanfare for a long time, but the Empress Dowager only heard about it today?
"Well, you have always been a person who knows the rules." The Queen Mother nodded and said slowly: "The years have not been good, especially this year, with such a disaster. You are all concubines in the harem, and you should share the worries of the emperor."
Shen Chuliu didn't answer.
"Princess Jing was born into a distinguished family. I still remember how I envied her when Sister Pan was still alive. She had bright and beautiful clothes in all seasons. She had whatever was popular in the imperial city."
"Are you talking about my aunt, Empress Dowager?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Shen Changjing and Qu did have a daughter, but after she got married, she died while giving birth.
Her name was Shen Pan, but Shen Chuliu had never seen her before.
But since the Queen Mother said it so earnestly, she must be talking about that person.
"It's your aunt. I guess you haven't seen her. The eldest daughter of the Shen family was also a well-known figure in the capital back then." Empress Dowager Li said with a smile.
"I have never seen it, it's a pity." Shen Chuliu said.
"I know that your family has always had a lot of money, and you have been spoiled since childhood. You can't stand any grievances. Your status is also here, and now you are a second-rank concubine. It's just that the emperor allocated a lot of money for disaster relief due to the flood in the north this year. It's not that our palace is short of money. But we still have to keep a low profile."
"Oh, don't take it personally. I'm not blaming you. I'm just reminding you, for yourself and for the Sixth Prince." Queen Mother Li said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu also smiled and said, "Yes, I thank the Queen Mother for her advice."
Empress Dowager Li looked at Concubine Jing and sighed when she saw that she did not seem surprised at all.
A powerful woman may not necessarily live well in the harem, but the women who live well in the harem may all be powerful.
This Concubine Jing, Shen, is one of them.
They were making witty remarks to each other, who knew who was thinking what? But Concubine Jing was indeed very patient.
After coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, everyone dispersed.
Rong Jieyu and Shen Chuliu were walking together: "The Queen Mother's words are very meaningful."
Shen Chuliu smiled and didn't respond.
Rong Jieyu didn't ask any more questions. When they reached the intersection, they parted ways and Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan.
After Chi Su and the others helped her change her clothes, Shen Chuliu asked, "Tomorrow they will get married, let's ask Yuan Xiao to see them off."
"Well, I'll make preparations for the Lantern Festival now." Chi Su said.
Tomorrow is the chosen day, so we might as well put all the purple beads and purple stamens on the same day.
It just so happens that their birthdays don’t conflict.
Jimei served tea to Shen Chuliu: "Master, are you unhappy?"
"Hmm? Not really. The Queen Mother has her own selfish desires. The Queen Mother is much smarter than Zhen Chongyi." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"But the layout of the Yufu Palace is probably the emperor's idea. You didn't intend for it to be luxurious," Jimei said.
"It's the emperor's intention, but the emperor's intention can change. The emperor thinks well of me now and gives me everything, but what about the future?" Shen Chuliu said, chuckling: "Others are killing people, but the queen mother is destroying their hearts."
"Then...what should we do? How about replacing some of the things in Yu Fu Palace?" Ji Mei asked worriedly.
"No need. I've taken the blame. It's useless to do anything now." Shen Chuliu was not worried: "It's impossible for a disaster like this year to happen again."
As long as this disastrous year is over, the Dayi Dynasty will still be prosperous in the future.
The Queen Mother would not expect to defeat her just because of this incident.
The Queen Mother just wanted to spread the news that Concubine Jing was extravagant.
To put it bluntly, the Queen Mother has not taken any serious action to suppress it now.
The Ninth Prince is still young, and the current situation is unclear.
However, as a concubine who had a prince, she had it too easy, so the empress dowager just suppressed her.
"Hey, don't be so sad. Since Zhen Chongyi's favor is not won, it's normal for the Empress Dowager to have high hopes for the Ninth Prince." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Jimei agreed with a smile, thinking that her master was still stable.
She still needs to study hard.
