Chapter 536 Partiality
It’s just that her position is not high, and no one makes the decision for her. Now she can only swallow this matter.
The imperial physician who misread the pulse naturally went home to eat his own food. It was a good thing that he was not punished.
But he felt very wronged before leaving: "Although I am young, it is not the first day I have been a royal physician. Her pulse is..."
"Well, now I've only lost my official position. If you continue to talk about it, you'll lose your life. Don't you want to leave your whole family?" Imperial Physician Zuo frowned, "Why don't you leave quickly?"
The young doctor said angrily: "Then I'll take my leave. Master Zuo, take care."
Forget it. Working in the Imperial Hospital is good and respectable, but you still risk your life.
It would be better to go back to my hometown and become a doctor.
You will still be respected without having to worry too much.
The emperor came to Yufu Palace.
After Shen Chuliu welcomed him, he personally poured tea for the emperor.
The emperor handed the memorial in his hand to Shen Chuliu: "Your grandfather's memorial."
Shen Chuliu knew everything in her mind, so she took it and read it. "Ah. Grandfather and his family were also very miserable. They had several children, but now they only have my aunt."
"Your Shen family has worked hard and made great contributions. Although your aunt is not as good as your grandfather, she is also a meritorious official." Qi Yixiu said.
"The emperor is so annoying." Shen Chuliu threw the memorial aside.
"Why do I make my beloved concubine dislike me again?" Qi Yixiu laughed.
"Your Majesty is so annoying. These are important matters in the court. Whether to return or not is up to Your Majesty. How can I control it?" Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes at the emperor: "I guess Your Majesty is testing me again."
Qi Yixiu smiled: "What are you testing my beloved concubine for? Huh?"
"How would I know? The emperor is very cunning." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu laughed and pinched her face: "You are the one with a sharp tongue."
"Go and eat your lunch by yourself. I won't take care of you." Shen Chuliu turned her head.
"How can I be hungry if you don't care about me?" Qi Yixiu leaned back on the couch comfortably: "But your uncle is also old, it's good for him to return to Beijing."
Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes.
The emperor saw it, but didn't say anything, just looked at her with a teasing look.
At noon, the Sixth Prince came back, and the father and son started talking together.
Qi Yixiu had not tested the knowledge of the princes during these times, so he would naturally ask them now that he caught them.
The Sixth Prince was not afraid either.
Firstly, he is smart and studies hard, and secondly, he is naturally brave. He loves to shout but not cry since he was a child.
Of course I wouldn't be scared if I were asked to test my knowledge by my father. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
My mother is right. If I know everything, what’s the point of reading books?
So, the father and son ended this conversation very happily.
Qi Yixiu couldn't help but admire his son's courage.
Although he would not intentionally be cruel to the children, the other princes always felt uneasy when they saw him.
As a human being, you cannot be biased, and this applies to your wives, concubines, or children.
Qi Yixiu had to admit that he was still partial to this son.
He has been healthy since birth and has grown up like a calf, which makes him very satisfied.
Now it seems that he is quite courageous, smart, and quick-witted. I am very satisfied with him.
Of course, heirs and concubines are different after all. Qi Yixiu was not only partial to the Sixth Prince.
But the Sixth Prince Qi Yan is very important in his heart.
After the afternoon, the father and son left together.
Qi Yixiu quickly issued an edict to approve Marquis Jing'an's request, and directly issued an edict to change Marquis Jing'an's title to Duke Jing'an.
Shen Zhong was promoted to the first-rank Grand Secretary of Wuhua Pavilion and concurrently served as the Minister of War.
The former Minister of War was transferred out of Beijing.
In this way, the Shen family changed its way of existence in the army.
Of course, the Minister of War cannot lead troops at will. Although he seems to be in control of the Ministry of War, he is after all under the emperor's nose.
As for Shen Qingling, he is still young. Unless he spends 30 years in the army, it is impossible for him to have the same status as his father and grandfather.
However, the title of Grand Secretary of Wuhua Pavilion is not just a title, it also means that one is in the cabinet. It is not as good as the Wenhua Pavilion for civil officials, but it is also the ultimate highest affiliation for military officers.
What's more, the Shen family was upgraded from Marquis to Duke.
Even if Lord Jing'an passed away in the future, the Shen family would still be demoted to marquis.
They are honorable within three generations.
What's more, Concubine Jing is in great favor and has a Sixth Prince.
At first, some people in the court thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Shen family. He took the opportunity to ask Shen Zhong to come back because he didn't trust the Shen family.
But gradually, everyone came to their senses.
Yes, the Shen family no longer leads the troops, but they are still important officials this time.
It seems that the Shen family has given up a lot, but in fact they have gained more.
Haven't you seen that from ancient times to the present, generals who can't fight have had a bad ending? Now that Shen Zhong has returned to Beijing, that is the best destination.
Of course, there are also people who are hard to see through, such as Li Zhaoyi.
However, she was still under house arrest and could only laugh at Shen Chuliu in Cuiyunxuan.
When Shen Yi's coffin was returned to the capital, Shen Chuliu did not go. Instead, the Sixth Prince went with two study companions to present a piece of paper.
Shen Zhong has to hand over the military power before he can come back, so he may not be able to make it before the New Year.
Shen Yi's funeral was also a grand affair. Three days later, Shen Chuliu sent someone to pick up Shen Gengyi and bring him back to the palace.
This matter is over for now.
Mrs. Qu recovered a lot because her eldest son was coming back. Mrs. Liang also survived.
At this point, the military affairs that Shen Chuliu was most worried about came to an end.
At this point, it was already the middle of November, and the weather was getting colder day by day.
Unfortunately, there has been a lot of rain this year, and all that rained was ice.
It was quite uncomfortable to pay respects. Shen Chuliu sat on the sedan chair, wearing thick clothes and holding a small hand warmer in his arms.
This small hand warmer was bought by the Sixth Prince and given to her.
Before she could say anything, she heard Zhuang Jieyu's voice: "You have the nerve, what's the matter? Isn't it the time when you were pregnant?"
Zhou Baolin hesitated: "It was the imperial physician who diagnosed my pulse wrong...it was not my fault."
She has been bullied a lot by Concubine Zhuang recently, but Concubine Zhuang would not bully her in front of many people.
But Zhou Baolin felt that he had embarrassed himself before and didn't dare to say anything.
Shen Chuliu pretended not to see it, but when two people saw her, they hurriedly greeted her.
After Concubine Zhuang sent Shen Chuliu away, she said, "I have to go and pay my respects now. I won't bother with you. Humph."
Zhou Baolin was almost mad with anger.
But since the last incident, the emperor never asked her to sleep with him again.
In Fengzao Palace, everyone sat down. Concubine Li finally appeared.
She didn't look very good and had lost some weight, but overall she was in good spirits.
"Is Concubine Li feeling better?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, sister. I haven't expressed my condolences to you about your family matters. But it's a good thing that General Shen has returned to Beijing." Concubine Li said.
"Thank you." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It's cold outside, it's important to take good care of yourself. I see you've lost a lot of weight."
Concubine Li smiled bitterly: "After all, I am unlucky."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Shen Chuliu waved his hand, not wanting to hurt Concubine Li's feelings.
