Chapter 546: Competing
The two of them responded quickly.
They don't hold high positions, but they know about this matter.
But I couldn’t see the second prince’s memorial, I could only hear about it.
"It seems that the emperor is not satisfied." Shen Changjing smiled.
"Father and I have similar opinions." Shen Zhong also stroked his beard and smiled: "If you are really satisfied, you shouldn't have kept silent."
"Well, although the Second Prince was sent to the southwest, accompanied by people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, there must be some people from the Emperor's place who went there. Years ago, because the Marquis of Jinchang repeatedly asked for military pay, the Emperor postponed it several times. Now, it seems that the suppression of bandits has been going on for a year, and there is still no effect. The Emperor is fed up."
"The Feng family is now on the edge. I think the emperor is giving face to Concubine Qian Shu and her son." Shen Qinghe said.
"Brother is right. The second prince went to the southwest this time because the emperor wanted to see his abilities. Now it seems that the second prince did not appreciate the emperor's painstaking efforts." Shen Qingyang said.
"Well, our family's situation is different, so we have to keep a low profile on everything." Shen Changjing drank his tea slowly.
The three generations talked for a long time, and then the two grandchildren left first.
Shen Changjing's health has not been as good as before since Shen Yi's death.
Nowadays, I feel particularly tired.
I'm already in my seventies, so naturally my condition is getting worse.
"Father, in your opinion, what are the chances of victory for the Sixth Prince?" Shen Zhong asked.
"Until the dust settles, most of it is fake. If His Majesty is afraid of the Shen family, it will not be a good thing for His Highness the Sixth Prince."
The main reason is that it is a peaceful and prosperous era. It doesn't matter which prince the emperor appoints as the heir, since they are all born out of wedlock anyway.
"Well, that's true. It's good for the children in the family to take the path of civil servants. But Qingling is still in the army... When my third brother was alive, he loved this son the most. So I thought, in a few months, I will find a way to transfer him. After all, the northern border is too far away and it's not easy to take care of him."
"Yeah." Shen Changjing sighed: "Your second brother passed away early, leaving behind only a little girl. Your third brother did have a few children, but only two of them were legitimate. Your daughter is already in such a state. Qingling can't be in trouble again."
"Don't worry, father. I'm already on the move." Shen Zhong said.
Shen Changjing responded and stood up.
Shen Zhong hurried over to support him.
"Boss, I am old now. The Shen family will depend on you from now on. I have watched your two sons for many years. Qinghe is too gentle and conservative, and Qingyang is from a limited family. Qingling is a capable child. Don't refuse to use him just because he is not your son."
"Father, what are you talking about? How could your son be so careless as to ignore the overall situation?" Shen Zhong sighed, "Don't worry, father. Let Qing Ling move to another place first. After a few years, we will find a way to get him back to the imperial city. The third brother also thought so when he was alive. In the future, your son will be old and retire. The Shen family will still rely on the younger generation."
Shen Changjing nodded and said nothing.
Shen Chuliu, who was far away in the palace, didn't know about this, but she had heard that the second prince was about to return to Beijing.
He didn't care much about it. After the rain finally stopped, he hurried to pay his respects to the Queen.
Everyone came to Heqing Palace.
Ever since she was scolded by Shen Chuliu last time, Li Zhaoyi felt less worried, but the habit of rolling her eyes whenever she looked at Shen Chuliu returned.
Since her miscarriage, Concubine Li has paid close attention to her diet and has lost a lot of weight now. Although she is not as thin as when she first entered the palace, she has lost a lot of weight.
But maybe because I've been fat in recent years, I look older now that I've suddenly lost weight.
At least the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are very obvious.
Today's skin care products can't cover this up, so she hasn't been very happy recently.
So, when Shen Chuliu arrived, Concubine Li was competing with Li Zhaoyi.
Li Zhaoyi didn't dare to provoke her at first, but she was stupid and spoke without thinking. In a few words, she hurriedly said this.
How could Concubine Li hold back? Even though she wasn't as venomous as Shen Chuliu, she was also good at scolding people when she was young. How could Concubine Li hold back?
So, when Shen Chuliu just arrived, he saw Li Zhaoyi's face was red and her neck was thick. If she could smoke, she would smoke.
"Hey, what's going on?" Shen Chuliu asked knowingly.
"Now that Sister Jingfei is here, what else can we do? Our Li Zhaoyi is so powerful now. You might think she is in charge under the Queen." Concubine Li glared at Li Zhaoyi fiercely.
"It's no wonder that Concubine Li is angry. Concubine Li has a long tongue." Yan Xiurong also said something which was rare.
"You! You are just bullying me! Who do you think you are? Your position is not even higher than mine!" Li Zhaoyi finally found someone to talk to.
"You are here to pay respects to the Empress, but you are shouting so loudly. Is this really how high your status is?" Shen Chuliu smiled faintly, "The truth does not lie in the loudness of the voice. It seems that Li Zhaoyi does not understand this."
"Of course I am not as knowledgeable as Concubine Jing." Li Zhaoyi said this and stopped talking.
Shen Chuliu looked at her with disdain. This person who was so warlike but had no fighting ability at all was really weird.
The queen came out and was too lazy to mention the matter.
Just asking in daily life.
When asked about it, Concubine Xue smiled and said, "The Sixth Princess has a rash. The doctor said it's because of the dampness. This girl is also strange. She didn't cry or make a fuss. The nurse saw it."
"This child is very tough." The queen smiled and said, "I'm glad he's fine. Children are prone to rashes when they are young. But speaking of toughness."
The Queen looked at Shen Chuliu and asked, "Is Yan'er too naughty? Has he recovered from the fall from the horse? Why did I see him on the mountain with some kids yesterday afternoon?"
Since they were in the palace, they were naturally very close to the mountain and could be seen at any time.
"I didn't know about this brat..." Shen Chuliu was really troubled: "His injuries are much better now, thank you for your concern, madam."
"This child has been naughty since he was young." The queen also laughed.
"Being naughty is a good thing. Boys should be more naughty and lively." Lady Yao interrupted with a smile.
"Sister Yao is right. I heard that the Sixth Prince has never been a crybaby since he was young. It is naturally a good thing that he likes to run and jump now." Concubine Xue also laughed.
"Hey, the fourth prince is no better than the sixth prince. When it comes to being gentle and quiet, it has to be the third prince." Concubine Li said with a smile.
Li Zhaoyi was about to suppress her urge to laugh, but she didn't dare.
So, this time when we talked about children, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
After the meeting, Shen Chuliu returned to Guanlan Pavilion and asked someone to call the Sixth Prince.
After a while, Shen Chuliu came and asked directly: "Did you go up the mountain yesterday?"
"Ah... just... take a walk." The Sixth Prince laughed.
"Let your mother see it, otherwise I wouldn't know. I won't stop you from going. But tell me, where did you go?" Shen Chuliu poked him.
"I have nothing to do, so I took a walk. Hey, don't stare. Come on, let's go dig mushrooms!" The rain stopped yesterday afternoon.
I couldn't sleep again last night. I'm afraid I'm going to become an immortal. Oh, the weather has changed. Please keep warm.
