Chapter 447: Fighting for Rights
Concubine Jin was completely silent.
She is always like this, talkative, but also timid.
Qian Xiuyi was extremely angry, but she could only remain silent.
Concubine Yan smiled and said, "It's just some writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. Your Majesty thinks that I am bored. As a woman, who doesn't like fancy clothes and beautiful accessories?"
She didn't mean to offend Shen Chuliu by saying this, but Concubine Jin and Qian Xiuyi looked upon her in a less favorable light.
Shen Chuliu smiled, this Concubine Yan was indeed not a fool.
Lady Mei also laughed: "Sister Yan is different. Let me tell you, she likes beautiful clothes and jewelry, how great is that? It's a pity that after dressing up for a long time, I'm still not even a bit as good as Concubine Jing. I can't even imitate her."
Shen Chuliu looked at her with a smile, and she really admired her in her heart.
These two are really smart in their own ways.
Previously, Miss Mei learned how to dress herself, but unfortunately it seemed to have little effect.
Now I dare to talk about this openly.
To put it bluntly, if it was really exposed, what could she do? She was just a concubine who imitated your dressing style, what was the big deal? When the queen came out, everyone looked like they were having a good chat and their faces were pretty good.
The queen sat down, and after everyone paid their respects, she said, "Su Jieyu is not feeling well, and has not come these days. Chen Xiaoyi and Shen Gengyi are also ill, and Feng Yu Nu is not feeling well, so she has not come either. The weather has been bad these days, and it has been unpredictable, so you should all pay attention. If anyone is feeling unwell, ask the Imperial Medical Bureau to come and take a look."
Everyone thanked the queen and agreed.
They said that several people were missing early in the morning, and it turned out that they were all sick.
That's true. Someone like Feng Yunv, who has had no sense of existence for thousands of years, would not dare not come to pay his respects unless he was sick.
The weather has not been very good in recent days, with changes from hot to cold.
As usual, everyone chatted about their daily gossip and left Fengzao Palace.
"Master, I asked around and learned that Shen Gengyi caught a cold, but it wasn't serious. But Feng Yunv's illness is a bit more serious this time, and she's coughing a lot." Zhemei said.
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu nodded, said nothing, and left with Yao Baolin.
After returning, Yao Baolin said, "It's not easy for her either."
This is talking about Feng Yu'nu.
"When she first came in, in my opinion, she wanted to consolidate the emperor's favor for Concubine Qian Shu, but unfortunately Concubine Qian Shu thought highly of herself and refused to let her take the lead. She suppressed her severely, and the emperor didn't like Feng Yu Nu either. Look, after all these years, she is still a Yu Nu."
"There are also advantages. She is just a side branch of the Feng family. At least, over the years, the Feng family's main branch and side branches have experienced several turmoil and many people have died. But her father and brothers are safe and sound. If she was not a concubine but had another position, her father and brothers might have been involved." Shen Chuliu said.
"Your Majesty is right. In this respect, her low status does have its advantages. In fact, over the years, after Concubine Qian Shu stopped caring about her, people in the palace didn't bully her much." She had such a low sense of presence. Shen Chuliu and this Feng Yunv were from the same class, and she didn't even remember Feng Yunv having slept with her.
"By the way, Concubine Su's pregnancy is unstable. She has to ask for leave every now and then." Yao Baolin was puzzled.
"I guess so. It's been more than six months now, right? We'll have to wait and see. I don't know how it will turn out."
The two of them said a few more words to each other and then went back.
In Taiji Palace, the emperor was free. When he heard that Concubine Su had asked for leave again, he nodded and said nothing.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "What did the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau say?"
"In reply to the emperor, the imperial physician said that Concubine Su is weak and the baby is unstable, so she needs to be carefully cared for." Chu Si said.
"Well, is there anything else?" the emperor asked again.
Chusi thought for a moment and said, "There was nothing major going on. It was just that when we were paying our respects this morning, Concubine Jin and Concubine Jing, Qian Xiuyi, had an argument. That's nothing. It happens every day."
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Give her two dishes at noon and ask the imperial kitchen to make what she likes."
Chu Si was stunned for a moment, then he sighed: "I know."
"Got it? If you make a mistake and get beaten, I won't stop you." Qi Yixiu said.
Chu Si hurriedly smiled and said, "How could that be possible? Although I don't know what dishes Concubine Jing likes, the kitchen certainly knows."
Qi Yixiu just smiled, waved his hand and continued to work.
Chusi thought that the emperor was being overly suspicious. It sounded like he was going to give the gift to Concubine Jing. Could it be someone else? At noon, when the Sixth Prince and Shen Chuliu had just sat down to eat, they saw Laba and the people from the imperial kitchen coming in and bringing two dishes.
One dish is squirrel fish and the other is emerald shrimp.
Shen Chuliu smiled and thanked him, but was stopped by Laba: "The Emperor has told you to have a good meal with His Majesty and the Sixth Prince. No need to be so polite."
Shen Chuliu sat down with a smile, and cleverly stuffed some silver into Laba's pocket and sent it out.
The Sixth Prince looked at the dish and smiled: "My father gave it to me."
"Well, it's given by my father. Eat it." Shen Chuliu touched the child's head.
The Sixth Prince began to eat happily.
The mother and daughter actually have similar tastes. Shen Chuliu is more of an omnivore, and except for a few things that she doesn't like, she likes most things.
She especially likes fresh river and seafood, such as fish, shrimp and crab. As long as they are fresh and tender, she loves them.
The Sixth Prince is much the same.
So, the mother and daughter joined forces and ate up both dishes.
Before returning to Ruiqing Palace, the Sixth Prince went to Taiji Palace.
Qi Yixiu met him.
"Father, your Majesty, your son thanks you for the reward."
"Get up." Qi Yixiu waved his hand. "You came just in time. How have your studies been these days? Your teacher said that you have been slacking off in your studies recently. I didn't ask in detail, are you the one who is lazy?"
"No!" The Sixth Prince was shocked! The teacher is still complaining?
But he wasn't lazy: "It definitely wasn't me! I wasn't lazy!"
Qi Yixiu looked at his wide-open eyes, which were somewhat similar to his mother's almond-shaped eyes, but now he felt that they were gradually becoming like his own, perhaps because they had not yet taken shape.
"If it's not, then it's not. Why are you saying it so loudly?" Qi Yixiu laughed.
The Sixth Prince pouted: "Father has wronged me."
"Okay, that's father's fault. I'm going to reward you with something. What do you want? But don't be impatient. Since you said you didn't slack off, I'll test your homework first. If you pass, you'll be rewarded. If you fail, you'll be punished." Qi Yixiu said deliberately.
"Father is unreasonable!" The Sixth Prince was angry.
"Why are you being unreasonable?" Qi Yixiu was curious.
"It is one thing for the Emperor to test my homework, and it is another thing for the Emperor to wrongly accuse his son. They cannot be confused! I will also receive a reward if I fail the homework. It is the reward given by the Emperor because he wrongly accused me! If I pass the exam, I will receive two rewards!" The Sixth Prince loudly fought for his rights.
Qi Yixiu smiled, pretending to be serious: "Although I am young, I have a big heart. Okay, you are right. Then I will go first. If I can't pass the homework..."
The Sixth Prince was fearless: "Of course!"
Qi Yixiu took him to the imperial study and began to test him.
He didn't deliberately make things difficult for his children, and the questions he asked were all things that the teacher had taught him.
