Chapter 457 Teaching
"I just went to the main courtyard, and I heard that the eldest girl and the Sixth Prince had a good time today." Shen Qinghe said while lying on the couch.
Zuo sneered and ignored him.
"What are you laughing at? If you have something to say, just say it!"
"What? I told you long ago that you'd better give up on this idea, but you don't believe it? The girl is not my daughter." Zuo rolled her eyes.
She was favored, but also sober, and had no irreconcilable conflicts with his first wife, Lan.
Even if she wanted to raise a child, she would wait until Lan gave birth.
A little bit of dirtiness is inevitable, but we can still live in harmony.
This is also the reason why the Song family could tolerate her. To put it bluntly, if Zuo Shi had not been born with a bad birth, she would have been more suitable to be Shen Qinghe's legal wife.
She is much smarter than Lan and much more clear-headed.
"You have the same idea as my wife." Shen Qinghe smiled but did not move.
"Madam saw it clearly, but grandma didn't." Zuo shook her head.
"Isn't that what you said? The girl is not yours, and she is not your wife's either." Shen Qinghe smiled and pulled her into his arms: "Grandma is unwilling, so tell her to do whatever she wants. She doesn't have much courage, what if it works?"
"If you are not afraid that your girl's conversation with the Sixth Prince will get out and delay future marriage, then what does it matter? You are the girl's biological father, and I am just her concubine." Zuo really didn't care.
Shen Qinghe laughed, thinking that this woman was very direct in her speech.
After a busy day, Shen Chuliu returned to Cuiyunxuan in the evening and took a rest outside after dinner.
Huang Li came in and told her what happened in the side hall during the day, but there was nothing special about it.
"Well, you did a good job." Shen Chuliu smiled.
After Zizhu and Zirui left, everyone took a step forward, and naturally Baiyan and Huangli also took a step forward.
There were also Suihong and Xinlv who came before. Although they were second-class, they could still come in and serve. They just couldn't get close.
After Huang Li left, Chi Su said, "Shen Gengyi is no longer the same as before."
"If you don't grow up, you will die." Shen Chuliu smiled faintly.
"Yes, it was said that Zhen Chongyi was not feeling well, so they called the imperial physician." Jimei said.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Why bother?"
"She is also not convinced." Nanny Zhang said with a smile.
Nanny Zhang didn't often visit Shen Chuliu before, but after this winter, Shen Chuliu began to pay attention to her.
She is often in the house now.
After all, someone like Nanny Zhang will stay in the palace for her entire life, so it is safe to use her.
"If you are unwilling, you should be honest." Shen Chuliu said: "In the past, I probably overestimated her."
"After all, it has never been exposed to wind and rain." said Nanny Zhang.
"However, although Zhen Chongyi is like this, the Queen Mother is a powerful person."
"Of course. If I underestimate the Empress Dowager, that's my fault." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Just wait and see. There will be trouble in the palace in the future. Yan Xiurong has little experience and has not given birth yet. Her family only has a title, which is higher than Zhen Chongyi. There will be fights in the future."
"Although it is difficult for Wen Chongrong to be promoted because of the Eighth Prince's affairs, she is an old man after all." Shen Chuliu smiled and said nothing more.
But Nanny Zhang and others knew that Wen Chongrong was not a truly kind person.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We still have guests to entertain tomorrow. I've been sleep deprived lately, so I'll go to bed early. You guys should go to bed too. Those who are on duty tomorrow should go back quickly. Those who are not on duty can delay for a while."
Having said that, Shen Chuliu stood up.
The ones on duty tonight were Zhemei and Zengchun. They waited on her and then went to rest.
When Nanny Zhang returned, Huang Li asked, "Isn't it inappropriate for Empress Zhen Chongyi to call the imperial physician?"
During the first month of the lunar year, everyone avoids this.
"Whether it's suitable or not depends on how you think about it. If you say it's not suitable, then she can't be promoted this time, which is also a grievance, and it's okay for people to hear it. After all, there is the empress dowager behind her. But if you say it's suitable, it means that the emperor has wronged her. Women in the harem can't just say they're wronged. If you're wronged, you have to show it beautifully, otherwise won't the emperor despise you?"
Huang Li nodded, thinking that what the nanny said was very true.
The next morning, just as I had gotten myself ready, the Pei family entered the palace.
Zheng, Lin, and Ye's eldest daughter almost lost their child last year.
Mrs. Ye was about to give birth and couldn't come in.
After greeting and sitting down, Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I still don't know what my cousin's daughter's name is."
The little girl stepped forward timidly: "Your Majesty, my name is Pei Jun."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "My cousin is named Pei Ji and his cousin is named Pei Yue, which is taken from the phrase 'bright wind and clear moon'. Now it's my niece's generation. Should we have the gentleman's demeanor or the gentleman's manners?"
Zheng smiled and said, "We also think this name is too strong. Why don't you give her a name? She is still young now, and her name has not been recorded in the family tree. It's not too late to change it."
Shen Chuliu looked at the eager little girl and smiled: "Jun is also very good, no need to change it. However, I can give you a nickname. Let's call it Chao Chao. Chao Chao in morning and evening. May you be full of vitality, just like the morning sun."
"Yes, Chaochao thanks your Majesty. Chaochao likes it very much." The little girl said hurriedly.
Shen Chuliu rubbed her hair: "Go and sit down."
Zheng and Lin hurriedly thanked her.
The emperor did not reward the guests with food today, but this is the right thing to do. If he did so again, Shen Chuliu would be left in turmoil.
After seeing off the Pei family members in the evening, Shen Chuliu also rewarded Pei Jun as usual.
On the way back in the carriage, Pei Jun sat together with his grandmother Lin.
"Jun'er, do you like the name the Queen gave you?" Lin asked.
"Yes, I like it. Grandma, the queen is so beautiful." Pei Jun said.
"Yes, Your Majesty is pretty. From now on, your family will call you Chaochao. This is Your Majesty's kindness and it should not be wasted." Lin touched her hair.
Pei Jun agreed with a smile.
The next day, in Zheng's room, Lin said, "Mother-in-law, I plan to hire a maid from the palace to teach Jun'er... the etiquette of court."
Zheng thought about it and shook her head: "This is not good."
"But what the Madam meant..." Lin paused: "Don't you need to prepare?"
"No, don't forget that we are only the Empress's maternal family. Although the Empress is willing, she won't ask us to do anything. Chao Chao's teaching is just like that of ordinary girls."
Seeing that Lin was a little confused, Zheng sighed, "The queen won't care about these things. If she likes this child, as long as he behaves well and is sensible, it's fine. Shouldn't the etiquette of the palace be learned after entering the palace?"
Ye understood first. She supported her belly and stood up: "What the old lady means is... we don't need to cultivate deliberately, as long as the normal rules and etiquette are correct?"
"That's right. This way, it will be good for the child in the future. Things in the palace change rapidly. Since the queen didn't say anything, she didn't want to cut off her retreat. You don't have to tell the child about this, lest she think too much."
Awooooooooo
