Chapter 448 Reasoning
The Sixth Prince would stumble sometimes, but most of the time he would answer quickly.
Basically, he studied hard.
He was only seven years old and loved to play, so Qi Yixiu did not teach him very strictly.
The same goes for the other princes. He doesn't force his children to become successful now.
Since the students did well in their studies, he smiled and praised them a few words, and naturally gave them rewards.
A seven-year-old child wouldn't want anything expensive, just some small gadgets.
The princes were also rewarded with pens, ink, paper and inkstone, which were naturally of the best quality.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu smiled and said nothing when she learned that her son had received a reward.
She doesn't care, but the people in the harem may not.
Many people are unhappy about the Sixth Prince being favored, but there is no point in being unhappy. Now no one dares to reach out to Ruiqing Palace, as that would be courting death.
The incident caused by the Meng family before was big enough to force the emperor to guard the Ruiqing Palace as closely as a bucket.
Now, if the princes make the slightest mistake again, none of the servants in Ruiqing Palace will survive and their families will also be implicated.
The servants were fine, but the guards would never dare to take the risk. They were all from good families to be guards in the palace.
Who doesn’t have several family members implicated?
Besides, the Sixth Prince is still young after all, so it is still difficult to frame him.
Shen Chuliu wasn't too worried and just listened.
In Yichun Pavilion, Li Zhaoyuan waved her hand and asked the nanny who was giving her a massage to leave.
After she gave birth to the eleventh prince, her belly had not yet shrunk, and now her figure was somewhat unattractive.
But it doesn’t matter, everything will be fine.
There are many capable people in the palace, but when she gave birth to the fourth prince, she was young and of low rank, so she did not know about this in time.
It is a little late to remedy the situation now, but we can still recover some of it.
It was only later that she found out why she was not loved as much as before after she gave birth to the Fourth Prince. Although it was too late to understand now, she could at least still struggle.
If she had had a sensible old maid by her side, this wouldn't have happened and she wouldn't have wasted her good time.
Fortunately, she was pregnant. She was the only concubine in the palace who gave birth to two princes.
"Master." Yutao called out when she saw her in a daze.
"Yeah." Li Zhaoyuan turned around: "Nothing, I was just thinking about something. What do you think, does our fourth prince have a good chance of winning?"
Yu Tao was stunned, and whispered hurriedly: "From my perspective, he is the eldest. You still have the eleventh prince!"
"The Lu family behind the Fifth Brother is not very successful now, but after all, its influence is still there. The nobles in the world will inevitably remember Master Lu. Moreover, although Concubine Shun's family is not very good, they are also officials. After all, they have a good background in the harem. It may not be that there is no chance. On the contrary, because the Lu family only has a name but no power, it can be said that the chance is greater."
"Old Six, there's no need to talk about it. People like Concubine Jing are determined to help her son move up."
"Old Nine is the closest relative of the Queen Mother, needless to say, she will definitely support him. These guys are all strong rivals." Li Zhaoyuan sighed softly: "I can't beat four hands with two fists."
"Master, the Second Prince and the Tenth Prince..." Yu Tao said in a low voice.
"The second prince's maternal grandfather's family is like this, so he can't get promoted. As for the tenth prince, he may be good, but his mother is not. I am thinking too early now. I don't know how many princes there will be in the harem in the future. The current Concubine Yan, the Beauty Mei, oh yes, and the pregnant Concubine Su, they are all powerful figures."
Neither the master nor the servant mentioned the third prince.
Even though Concubine Kangde was powerful, it was a pity that given the Third Prince's background, it was impossible for her to have that status.
The Emperor has kept Concubine Miao until now, which may be a reminder to Concubine Kangde.
Although Concubine Kangde had a high position, unfortunately she had no one in her natal family.
"Master, don't think too much. The next time you are promoted, you might even be promoted to a concubine," said Yutao.
Li Zhaoyuan sighed: "You don't understand. Of course I am happy when I get promoted, but it's also good and bad."
"Why do you say that, master? Promotion is naturally a good thing." Yu Tao was puzzled.
"It's a good thing, but it's lonely at the top. Look at Concubine Jing. She has been favored by the emperor for many years, but she refuses to have another child. There are really few fools in the harem."
Yu Tao was thoughtful, and finally could only comfort: "Master, don't worry, the emperor has seen how you have been doing over the years."
Li Zhaoyuan smiled. How have you been these years? In order to live a good life, she had to go against Feng.
In order to live a good life in the future, do I have to go against Concubine Jing? Anyway, once you enter the harem, you will never be able to live an easy life.
"Master, the emperor turned over...turned over the name card of Concubine Jing." Bitao came in and said.
Li Zhaoyuan hummed: "I understand. Prepare dinner and bring the eleventh prince here."
Bitao responded and went out.
"Master, please don't feel bad." Yu Tao advised.
"Why should I feel sad? When it comes to pampering, I'm not as good as her. There's nothing to be sad about." Li Zhaoyuan waved her hand and stopped talking.
At a certain point, the amount of pampering is not that important.
Even if she is not favored now, she has two sons, so they will always have a place in the future promotion.
In Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu was surprised to see the emperor, but today he came to her place.
Think about it, although Concubine Yan was favored, she rarely had the opportunity to sleep with the emperor in succession.
"What are you thinking about? You're staring at me in a daze." Qi Yixiu took her inside.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It's nice to see the emperor."
Qi Yixiu ignored her.
It's not good-looking or anything like that, but after hearing it too much, it becomes just like that.
"Pour me your good tea."
"There's nothing good about it. I'm sorry to trouble the emperor." Shen Chuliu smiled and waved his hand to ask someone to pour tea.
Qi Yixiu's phoenix eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything glanced at her and said, "I see, are you feeling a little resentful?"
Shen Chuliu was surprised: "Why did the emperor put the blame on me for no reason? Why are you so resentful? I am not a female ghost."
"Nonsense, what about gods and ghosts. Come here." Qi Yixiu laughed.
Shen Chuliu walked over and asked: "What resentment do you have?"
Qi Yixiu pulled her into his arms and asked her to sit on his lap: "Yan'er, go at noon. Is that what you want?"
"Of course. The emperor presented the dishes, and I went there with great fanfare. Yan'er was going back to Ruiqing Palace anyway, so I came to express my gratitude." Shen Chuliu said.
"I tested his books, and I even got this kid to extort some good stuff."
"How can the emperor and the prince, father and son, be arguing with each other? How dare a little kid do such a thing? The emperor is the emperor, and he loves his son yet comes to complain to me." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "He has such a small temper, but now he can reason with me. He learned it from you."
"Your Majesty's words make me even more confused. Why don't you just reason with me?" Shen Chuliu wanted to get up, but the emperor held her back.
Awooooooooo (End of this chapter)
