Chapter 531: You are talking nonsense
In Cuiyunxuan, the maids came in: "Master, the emperor is coming this way."
Li Zhaoyi became excited and stood up hurriedly: "Go and greet him quickly."
After that, he asked again: "How is this palace? How does it look?"
"The Queen is fine, everything is good." The girl said happily.
She hurriedly helped the people to the door and saw the emperor coming, but he did not enter the door and went to the next room.
Before Li Zhaoyi had time to pay her respects, her face turned pale and she slapped the maid who reported the news: "I told you not to talk nonsense!"
The girl knelt down, lowered her head and dared not speak. She was also anxious...
Cui Luan hurriedly said, "Master, don't be angry. When your confinement is over, the emperor will come naturally. It doesn't matter if you hit someone like this. If people knew about it, how much would they say? Besides, the people below also meant well."
Li Zhaoyi snorted: "Kneel down."
The little palace maid didn't dare to refute, so she answered yes and knelt inside the gate of Cuiyunxuan.
Next door, Shen Chuliu was greeting people outside the palace gate. Qi Yixiu had already come in through the main gate.
"Yan'er just went back." Shen Chuliu said as he greeted.
The emperor came over and helped her up: "It's cold outside, are you feeling better?"
"It's nothing. We can all go and pay our respects. It's just that it's cold and I don't feel like moving." Shen Chuliu said.
The emperor led her inside and felt the warmth. "What kind of incense are you burning here? It smells good."
"I dare not burn incense randomly. I use the fragrant dew given by the emperor and drip a few drops on the stove." The brazier she put here could not be just a pot of fire that would be so ugly.
There is a smoking cage made of brass and iron, with a rack inside. The charcoal basin is placed on top and it won't get burned and looks good.
Because smokeless silver carbon is used, and occasionally gold carbon is used, the outer shell of the hollow smoking cage is very clean.
If there is an emergency, you can hang clothes or something up there to dry.
Shen Chuliu dripped a few drops of rose dew on the outer shell. After being roasted by the fire, the whole room was filled with a faint warm rose fragrance, which was particularly interesting.
"My beloved concubine is always the best at tidying up." Qi Yixiu laughed at her.
"Your Majesty will definitely like it, but you have to keep it a secret. No one is allowed to learn my secret. Many people have tried to learn how to put on makeup from me before, and they have all won the heart of Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said deliberately.
"You, who imitated me like that?" Qi Yixiu laughed again: "What's wrong with you today? You didn't dress up properly?"
"What time is it now? Why are you still getting dressed? Mainly because I didn't know the Emperor was coming. If I had known, I would have dressed up nicely." Shen Chuliu sat down next to the emperor.
Qi Yixiu took the opportunity to hug her and said, "My beloved concubine is very beautiful even without makeup. My visit to see you is not in vain. I brought you something."
As he spoke, he waved to the side.
On the fourth day of the fourth month, a box was handed over: "Empress Jing, please take a look."
When the box was opened, there was a velvet mat inside with four small white jade bottles placed side by side on it. It looked very beautiful. The bottles were not big, about the size of a palm.
"What is this?" Shen Chuliu was curious and picked one up.
"Open it." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu opened it, but didn't see anything.
Qi Yixiu smiled, took the bottle, held her hand, and poured some light green powder on the back of her hand.
Then rub it slowly with your thumb.
Shen Chuliu was so surprised: "Pink? Isn't this too delicate?"
After all, it was ancient times, and the best and finest powder used in daily life was certainly not as good as that made by modern machines.
But this powder is too fine.
The smell is also fresh. There is the warm scent of roses in the hall, but this powder has a grass-like scent, light and fresh.
After rubbing it carefully, it actually has some luster. When looking at it in the sunlight, it even has a shimmering feeling.
"This was sent from the west. It is extremely rare. It is from the Moon Wolf Country. It is said to improve a woman's appearance." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "There are only a few of them. Why don't you thank me?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu quite liked it, mainly because the touch was really good.
"If you like it, I'll send someone to buy it." The main reason is that this is a new tribute. It didn't exist before, so there are not many of them.
The emperor only sent some to the empress and her daughter, as well as the eldest princess, and there were only six bottles left.
Four were given to Concubine Jing, one was given to Yan Xiurong, and one was given to Su Xiuyi.
Shen Chuliu didn't care who the other things were given to. She just smiled and asked someone to put them away.
Anyway, no matter what the reward was, the emperor would not see that kind of particularly strong shock from her. The emperor was used to it.
"There is one thing I should learn from the emperor. I am glad to make Yan'er smile today." Shen Chuliu waved her hand and asked someone to take the things away, saying, "He must be worried that I don't have enough charcoal. Even though I said there was enough, he insisted on running to the back to check."
Qi Yixiu was a little speechless, but he also understood it. In the past, he always doubted everything Empress Dowager Li said.
Especially when I just moved out.
But he knew that there would indeed be something missing in his mother's palace at that time.
But why would Yan'er have such an idea? There is no shortage here with Concubine Jing.
Besides, if anyone dared to treat Concubine Jing harshly, she would beat them up, wouldn't she? It was obvious that the Sixth Prince was worrying too much, but no matter how much he worried, it was all for his mother, which was a good thing.
"Yan'er feels sorry for you. You must be scared when you get sick this time," Qi Yixiu asked.
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu sighed: "I always feel that he is still a child. In the blink of an eye, the child knows how to care about adults."
The children in the palace are so pitiful, they have no childhood.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Why does the emperor look a little thinner to me?" Shen Chuliu looked at the emperor.
She herself had lost weight and she knew the reason. The emperor also seemed to have lost weight recently.
"I am exhausted from worrying about state affairs. I am also exhausted." Qi Yixiu said, and lay down on the soft couch in the outer room.
Anyway, it was already mid-afternoon and there was nothing to do, so the two of them just leaned over and talked.
Until dinner time.
Although Qi Yixiu often came during these times, he didn't do anything because Shen Chuliu was not feeling well.
Today is different.
Not long after dinner, Shen Chuliu was taken into the inner room by the emperor.
It was a fierce battle that lasted for several rounds.
After finishing, the emperor sniffed Shen Chuliu's neck and said, "The scent of roses really suits you."
"Hmm." Shen Chuliu responded weakly.
"It's bold, passionate and beautiful." Qi Yixiu pinched her waist.
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu still had no strength.
It was nothing, but when the emperor saw her lazy look, he felt... No, he had to do it again.
So as soon as Shen Chuliu came to his senses, he was suppressed again.
With eyes wide open, he really wanted to curse, "You are not young anymore, how can you be so capable!" The next morning, Shen Chuliu sat on the sedan chair and cursed, his waist and legs were sore, it was really too painful.
