Chapter 530 Who did you follow?
"I don't care about the affairs of the harem, but Li Zhaoyi's character does not make her worthy of being a Zhaoyi." Empress Dowager Li suddenly spoke lightly.
Li Zhaoyi was shocked: "Please calm down, Queen Mother. I dare not say anything."
Queen Mother Li snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your father still doing meritorious service for Dayi, I would have severely punished you today. Now, considering that you know your mistakes, you should reflect on them. You should know what the rules are for concubines."
"Yes, thank you Queen Dowager for your teachings. I will definitely follow your instructions in the future." Li Zhaoyi bowed her head.
Empress Dowager Li was too lazy to pay attention to her.
With this interruption, what Shen Chuliu said just now made sense, and Empress Dowager Li didn't need to say too much.
The crowd soon dispersed.
After leaving Ci'an Palace, Li Zhaoyi hid from Shen Chuliu.
But someone told her not to hide.
Concubine Jin gloated: "Li Zhaoyi was so confident just now, I really want to know what you said."
"Nothing." Li Zhaoyi snorted, "It's just gossip."
"Tsk, it seems that three slaps are not enough. It didn't make Concubine Li Zhaoyi remember it." Concubine Zhuang smiled with her hands covering her lips.
"What did you say?" Li Zhaoyi was angry: "You are just a little concubine! How dare you speak like that?"
"Li Zhaoyi, you will reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for a month. You will be fined one year's monthly salary." The Queen got up and looked at Li Zhaoyi as if she were an ant.
"Empress..." Li Zhaoyi felt aggrieved.
"Go back to the palace." The queen said indifferently, not bothering to pay attention to her.
"I originally thought that you and your sister should be about the same. I really overestimated your abilities. I also overestimated your family's education." Shen Chuliu sneered.
Li Zhaoyi held her breath, not daring to refute, and just said: "Of course, we can't compare to the Shen family."
"Of course you can't compare to me. If a fool like you came out of my Shen family, I'm afraid he would have been strangled to death long ago." Shen Chuliu snorted coldly and followed the queen.
Li Zhaoyi was resentful, but she still left.
As for the Queen Mother, Zhen Chongyi smiled and said, "This Li Zhaoyi is not smart."
"It's just because her father has some merits, but that's all. By the way, the emperor is going to send someone to the southwest after the New Year. I don't know who will go." Empress Dowager Li paused and said, "Don't count on the Li family."
"Yes." Zhen Chongyi thought, in fact, it's not that no one can go to the Li family, it's just...
After she was restored to health, she calmed down a lot and thought clearly about many of her past mistakes.
The Li family really couldn't be too high-profile. Moreover, there was now the marriage between Li Qiushui and the second prince.
This time, Empress Dowager Li was satisfied with her calmness and also said a few words of encouragement.
Compared with the Second Prince and the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince is naturally closer to her. Empress Dowager Li has always been like this.
Zhen Chongyi also figured it out.
In Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu changed her clothes, and Aunt Zhang said, "Master, please don't get angry. It's not worth it."
She went with him today.
Afraid that Shen Chuliu would be angry because of Li Zhaoyi.
"It's really not worth it." Shen Chuliu laughed: "Right now, I'm not the one who should be angry." It's probably the emperor.
It's so embarrassing. Although the Qian family was arrogant in the past, they were not so stupid.
Li Zhaoyi is really brainless.
If her father hadn't been fighting the bandits, she would have lost her position as the Zhaoyi. But then again, if her father hadn't been fighting the bandits, she wouldn't have gotten the position of Zhaoyi in the first place.
"Don't worry about her, it won't last long. But why is Concubine Zhuang not getting along with her?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Hey, it's because Li Zhaoyi is too ostentatious. After Concubine Zhuang had sex with her, Li Zhaoyi always spoke to her in a sarcastic tone. Didn't she take the opportunity to say it back?" said Nanny Zhang.
Shen Chuliu shook his head: "Well, then it will be retribution in this life."
"So many things have happened this year, and by the New Year, there should be a few people who will be promoted and have good luck." Shen Chuliu said.
"Then... Master... can you also go a step further?" asked Aunt Zhang carefully.
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "No, I don't want to either. If I get promoted, what will Concubine Li say? After all, she has two princes. Besides, what's the difference between a concubine and a first-rank concubine? It's lonely at the top. Right now, who dares to do anything to me?"
"The master sees things clearly." Nanny Zhang said with a smile.
Indeed, there is not much difference between advancing to the next level now and now, but there are more risks involved.
Although the Sixth Prince is this old, he is still not fully grown. It is better to keep quiet for a few years until the Sixth Prince is a little older. Among the four concubines of this rank, let Concubine Qian Shu be the only one in charge.
It's rare that the Queen can sit still.
"Let's not talk about this. I have a good appetite today. Ask the kitchen to prepare well. We will have a hotpot at noon. Send it to me when Yan'er comes back." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Nanny Zhang said yes and left.
Li Zhaoyi got furious when she got home, throwing things and hitting people.
The people who served her didn't dare to say anything, but they were extremely annoyed in their hearts.
Li Zhaoyi was so angry that she dared not say anything bad about Concubine Jing anymore, but she dared to say anything bad about Concubine Zhuang.
Now that she is under house arrest again, she naturally cannot come out within a month, and the emperor will not come now either.
In fact, the emperor hasn't come since she had her miscarriage and has become indifferent to her.
They were just separated by a wall, but she hated that Concubine Jing was favored.
In the evening, the emperor went to Fengzao Palace and naturally brought up this matter.
When the Queen mentioned Li Zhaoyi, she wasn't very angry, just annoyed.
The emperor was resolute, but they all knew that because of General Li, they couldn't really do anything to Li Zhaoyi at this time.
But this person can be said to have become... a completely annoying person in the eyes of the emperor, empress, and even the empress dowager.
After two days of drizzling, the weather turned cold and a wind blew up. It was November in the imperial city and it was finally winter.
Shen Chuliu has already placed several braziers here, making the room warm inside and out.
Li Zhaoyi, who was separated by a wall, encountered difficulties for the first time since entering the palace.
There is no more charcoal.
She was Zhaoyi, of a high rank, and should have used better charcoal. Unfortunately, she was out of power now, and there was not enough silver charcoal this year, so naturally, it would not be her turn as the Zhaoyi who had lost her power and was under house arrest.
But this is also because the people below treat people differently based on their status.
Shen Chuliu has so much that it will never run out and will never be lacking.
However, the Sixth Prince was afraid that his mother was missing something, so he checked it again.
Shen Chuliu was amused and comforted by this: "I am your mother, after all, a favored Consort Jing. Is your father so stingy with my expenses?"
The Sixth Prince ignored it and felt relieved only after he had checked it himself.
This time, the matter of the poisonous scorpion still made him very concerned, so he had to go and see his mother.
Shen Chuliu poked his forehead: "Who do you say you take after?"
The Sixth Prince was poked and shook his head: "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Go hungry." Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes at him, but still waved her hand: "Serve the meal earlier."
The Sixth Prince chuckled and thought to himself, I will definitely follow your advice, but I can’t say it, or I’ll get beaten.
