Chapter 513 Remember
"I originally thought that my life was ruined, but the emperor has been so kind. With such a marriage, even if I am disfigured, I can still live a good life." Li Qiu Shui's eyes were red.
"It's good that you think it through. This palace is not simple. Maybe I scared you this time. But you are going to be the second prince's legitimate wife. After all, you are the legal wife, which is different."
"Yes, my granddaughter understands everything. I will learn from you in everything."
"You don't have to learn from me. You have your own way of living. But don't learn from your aunt either. You are gentle, but you also have your own ideas. I know all this. Just take care of yourself in the future. Now that you are injured, you don't have to rush back. Just stay here with me. Going back will be too crowded and troublesome, which will not be conducive to your recovery. I won't comfort you. The scar on your forehead cannot be removed. It won't be a problem on your face."
Li Qiushui smiled and said, "I thought it couldn't be removed on my face either. My forehead is okay, at worst I can just put on some yellow flowers. Even though it's a little crooked, it's fun to have it crooked."
"That's right. It's best if you think positively." Empress Dowager Li really likes this junior.
Smart and patient, much better than Zhen Chongyi, alas.
When Shen Chuliu arrived at Taiji Palace, he was taken to the small garden.
She hasn't been here for a long time, probably more than a year.
When the emperor saw her coming, he waved, "Come."
"Your Majesty, are you drinking by candlelight at night?" Shen Chuliu greeted him with a smile.
"Sit down." Qi Yixiu pointed opposite.
Shen Chuliu sat down and looked at the six side dishes and a pot of wine on the table.
However, bowls, chopsticks and wine cups were prepared for her.
"I have nothing to do here. I just want to have a drink, my beloved." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu raised her eyebrows and said nothing, and a palace maid poured her wine.
She took a sip and said, "Oh, this wine is quite strong. Is the emperor asking to get drunk?"
I was drinking Bamboo Leaf Green, which is also a magical wine. Although the alcohol content is not high, it has a strong aftertaste.
"Is my alcohol tolerance so poor? I'm not bad, and I know you're not bad either. Come on." Qi Yixiu actually clinked his glass with hers.
Shen Chuliu found it funny and drank a glass with him.
The wine was really good, mellow and full of aftertaste. She took a few bites of the dish and then filled both the emperor's and her glasses.
"Drinking and singing, tsk, the emperor knows how to enjoy it." Shen Chuliu didn't even ask whether the emperor was in a bad mood.
She felt that it was impossible for the emperor to be in a bad mood because of the execution of An. He was probably just annoyed or annoyed by other things and personnel.
"Let's drink and sing. Why don't you sing a song, my beloved? Or dance for me under the moonlight?" Qi Yixiu looked at her with a smile.
Shen Chuliu snorted: "Am I a dancer?"
"Well, my beloved is not like that. I am born into a noble family, so I naturally disdain these things." Qi Yixiu smiled again.
"Your Majesty, please stop provoking me." Shen Chuliu drank a glass of wine. "What's the difference between my origin and mine? I am still a concubine in Your Majesty's eyes. But my origin as a concubine is naturally not low. The Shen family has raised me for more than ten years with great wealth and honor. I can't forget it after entering the palace. So when facing Li Zhaoyi and others, I don't want to be wronged."
"By the way, I beat her last time. The emperor hasn't blamed me yet." Shen Chuliu said.
"What did I say to you? Is this the first time you hit someone?" Qi Yixiu found what happened that day funny.
Those three slaps were given to this woman. I don’t know how long she had been holding it in.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Well, since the emperor is so kind to me, I will sing a song for him."
As she spoke, she picked up a pair of chopsticks and tapped the bowl in front of her gently: "When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the sky, but I don't know what year it is in the palace in heaven..."
Although she is not good at singing, she is not out of tune and her voice is nice.
It’s just not high, but low, and it seems to be singing into people’s hearts.
After singing a song slowly, Qi Yixiu poured her wine and said, "My beloved concubine, your singing voice is heavenly."
Shen Chuliu didn't respond, she just hummed casually.
The two of them drank another glass, and by then the pot of wine was gone.
The second pot was delivered, and someone changed the dishes.
It was a rare occasion for the two of them to chat so intently, and before long, they had finished three pots of wine.
A pot weighs more than six taels, which, according to modern calculations, is less than two kilograms.
Moreover, there was no bias between the two of them, basically one cup each.
If you want to say it's a lot, at most the emperor drank one or two more cups of wine before Shen Chuliu came. It's really not much.
The servants were all shocked. Concubine Jing's alcohol tolerance was truly amazing. The key point was that she didn't look drunk even after drinking until now.
Chusi gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing, it's getting late, you two should rest."
"So noisy." Qi Yixiu was dissatisfied: "When did you come to urge me?"
Chusi said with a bitter face: "You two have drunk a lot... Drinking too much is harmful to your health."
"No more drinking." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It's late autumn now, and it's hot during the day. Now is the perfect time for me to sit with the emperor. Put away the wine and food, and bring some tea."
Chusi hurriedly agreed and said, "That's good. Let's change the tea to help them sober up."
Qi Yixiu didn't say a word the whole time. He was certainly not drunk, but he was a little tipsy. He seldom allowed himself to drink too much, and certainly would never get drunk.
So even if Chusi didn't persuade him, he wouldn't drink anymore.
But surprisingly, Concubine Jing can drink a lot.
Both of them are the kind of people who don't show their faces when drinking. If you look at their appearance, you really can't tell anything.
But if you look closely, you can see that Shen Chuliu's almond-shaped eyes are filled with moisture, which makes her even more lovable.
When the tea came, Shen Chuliu lay on the stone table in a very ungraceful manner, with his chin resting on his arms.
Then she started singing again. This time, she sang a nursery rhyme, humming slowly, word by word: "Twinkle, twinkle little star, the sky is full of little stars..."
After she finished singing, Qi Yixiu smiled and stood up.
Shen Chuliu was too lazy to move, so he just tilted his head and looked at him.
Qi Yixiu walked very steadily and even picked up Shen Chuliu: "It seems that my beloved concubine is a little drunk."
"Yeah, the same." Shen Chuliu hooked his neck and yawned.
She had no other problems when she drank too much, except that she felt sleepy.
After being carried back, he was placed on the dragon bed before he could even wash up.
Qi Yixiu held her down, brushed a strand of hair off her cheek, looked at her beautiful face and eyes, and suddenly asked, "Everyone asks me if I remember their names, why don't you ask, my beloved concubine?"
"Everyone asks the emperor if he remembers their names because they know he doesn't. But they don't dare to believe that he really doesn't remember. I don't ask because I know he does, and I believe he does, so there's no need to ask."
Qi Yixiu gently stroked the corner of her eye with his thumb: "How dare you think I remember? Huh?"
