Chapter 544: Fright and Tenderness
On the fourth day of the New Year, it seemed that the emperor's face became more and more expressionless as he read the secret letters from the southwest in recent days.
It's not that the emperor is no longer angry, it's just that he's waiting to settle the score.
But the news that came back publicly was very different from what was in the secret letter... This is interesting.
On the fourth day of the fourth month, I was thinking about waiting for the Second Prince to return to the capital. Wow, it will be lively.
No one in the harem knew this. Li Zhaoyi still thought she was powerful, and Concubine Qian Shu was also proud.
As the weather got hotter, Qi Yixiu directly ordered everyone to go to Qingliang Mountain to escape the heat.
And the list was released without even consulting the Queen.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Jing, Concubine Li, Zhaoyi Li, Xiuyi Su, Xiurong Yan, Jieyu Lin, Jieyu Zhuang, Concubine Xue, Concubine Yao, Xu Baolin, and Yu-nu Yang.
And all the princes and princesses.
Of course, the newly born Seventh Princess couldn't go because she was too young. In addition, even the one-year-old Sixth Princess went.
They set off as soon as they said they would. On the twelfth day, the carriages had already left the imperial city.
There were quite a few people going this time, such as the princes' study companions.
There are also a few people in the royal family, coming and going, so there are quite a lot of people.
Shen Chuliu lay comfortably in the carriage, listening to Zengchun reading.
Zengchun’s voice was nice, so Shen Chuliu didn’t want to watch it anymore, so he asked her to read.
Lady Yao is with Shen Chuliu at the moment. The reason she can come is naturally because of Shen Chuliu.
Otherwise, don't even think about it.
The princes were required to ride horses. The Sixth Prince was too busy to ride in the carriage, so naturally he did not want to get in.
The emperor rewarded the older princes with good horses, and the Sixth Prince was having a great time.
It was still a bit chilly when I went to Qingliang Mountain at this time.
Shen Chuliu still lives in Guanlan Pavilion.
Lady Yao lives in the Wanghai Pavilion nearby.
Shen Chuliu had just changed her clothes and was about to take a nap when she saw Yin Hu rushing in with a change of expression, "Master, Master! The Sixth Prince fell off his horse."
Shen Chuliu's heart was beating hard: "Where is it, what's going on?"
"On the hillside outside the palace, I don't know what happened to him. I only know that I fell off my horse and came here to report. Someone has already gone to call the imperial physician." Yinhu said.
Shen Chuliu didn't bother to ask any more questions and ran out in a hurry. He didn't even bother to chase her because she was too slow.
Just run there.
After running all the way past Wangjing Pavilion, my hair was already a mess.
Turning the corner, they saw a group of people coming, led by the Sixth Prince.
Looks okay.
Shen Chuliu's heart fell back into her stomach and she felt dizzy. Before the Sixth Prince could run over, Shen Chuliu fainted in Zhemei's arms.
Everyone was startled, and when Shen Chuliu opened his eyes again, he found himself in Haiyan Palace.
"The queen is awake." The imperial physician said softly.
Shen Chuliu opened her eyes wide and saw the emperor looking at her with a stern face: "How could you faint on the palace road?"
"Where is Yan'er?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Mother, I'm here, I... Ouch..." The Sixth Prince got up very fast, and now he was rubbing his buttocks and thighs, grimacing in pain: "I'm fine, why are you so anxious, I just fell down."
Shen Chuliu was really angry and amused: "I heard you fell off the horse, shouldn't I be anxious? You bastard."
"I was wrong, I was wrong." The Sixth Prince limped over and apologized with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am impolite." Shen Chuliu finally answered the emperor.
Qi Yixiu was so angry that he laughed. No concubine dared to regard the child as more important than himself in front of him.
It should be said that no concubine in any dynasty would dare to do this! However, if he cared about this, it would be too outrageous.
"I'm glad that you're okay, my dear. You're already tired from the long journey, and you were just anxious for a moment. It's no problem." Qi Yixiu said this with a bit of coldness.
"Is the emperor disgusted by the fact that I have occupied the dragon bed?" Shen Chuliu asked the emperor.
Qi Yixiu reached out and tapped her forehead: "Lie down properly."
"Yan'er, why don't you go and apply the medicine? It will hurt more if you wait any longer." Qi Yixiu said.
"Yes, I'll take my leave then." The Sixth Prince smiled apologetically, "Father, please don't be angry."
Qi Yixiu was amused by his son: "Go ahead."
The Sixth Prince looked at Shen Chuliu again, but before he could say anything, Shen Chuliu glared at him and said, "Get lost!"
"Hehe, then my son will leave now. I will accompany you for lunch tomorrow at noon." The Sixth Prince limped away, holding his buttocks.
Breathe in as you walk.
Half of it was from the fall, and half of it was from the pain he got when he fell.
"An accident happened just after arriving at the palace. Is the emperor really angry? How could I not be anxious when I heard that the child fell?" Shen Chuliu pulled the corner of the emperor's clothes.
The emperor sat down beside the couch and said, "You just ran like a mad woman. When I left, Yan'er was so scared that her face turned pale."
Qi Yixiu was naturally in a hurry because he heard that the Sixth Prince had fallen off his horse. The Queen was also shocked when she encountered this incident on the way.
The emperor said so, but at this moment, he did not feel disgusted.
I just recalled a lot of things from my childhood.
He reached out and tidied Shen Chuliu's messy hair: "You and Yan'er are very close, this is good."
"Isn't it wrong if we are not close to each other?" Shen Chuliu sighed, "In fact, I also know what the emperor means. Yan'er and I are childish in our relationship. But it's good this way, isn't it?"
Children in the palace may not have real friends when they are young.
She wanted the child to feel like he had a friend.
"That's great. You're a good teacher." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Yan'er is also sensible."
"If you praise me again, I'm going to cry." Shen Chuliu sat up: "I'm fine. I was just anxious just now."
She just felt a little weak, but everything else was fine.
"Well, it's almost dark, so there's no need to go back today." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu agreed, and asked someone to go back and get clothes. She changed into clothes before having dinner with the emperor.
At night, the weather was slightly cool and Shen Chuliu slept soundly next to the emperor.
The emperor did not fall asleep for a while.
When he was a child, he often encountered schemes from the Yang family mother and son...
There are also sudden situations like what happened to Yan'er today. At that time, did your mother ever act as recklessly as Concubine Jing?
And that year, Yan Er almost drowned and Concubine Jing went crazy...
But my mother never did that to Concubine Yang.
In fact, Qi Yixiu knew in his heart that the situation was different and the circumstances back then did not allow it.
I've only seen Concubine Jing protect her son at all costs, and I know people always have to be compared.
No matter how clear your mind is, you can't help but feel some emotions.
Qi Yixiu turned his head and looked at the woman who was sleeping soundly with her head resting on his chin. This woman...
She is calculating, has a bad temper, and is cunning, but she is an excellent mother.
That's why she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to raise Yan'er well, so she refused to have another child, right?
The four words "a mother is strong" are fully reflected in her.
Qi Yixiu reached out, rubbed her face gently, and then closed his eyes.
Never mind. He has many children. If this woman doesn’t want to have one, then that’s fine. If Yan’er can be raised well, that would be a blessing.
Shen Chuliu slept so soundly that she didn't notice much of this. When she woke up the next morning, the emperor was gone.
