Chapter 554 Value for money
Aunt Zhang pondered again. There is also a folk saying that says that the previous generation's feng shui has been completely taken away. Maybe Lord Shen Zhong was too powerful in his generation and took away all the feng shui of his sons?
But no matter what you think about, life still has to go on.
You have to be more careful after returning to the palace, because the waters are deep inside.
Yuanxiao and a few maids have already gone through the entire Yufu Palace several times. They don't ask for anything else, just to make sure nothing goes wrong.
As more and more memorials were received from the court denouncing Li Pei and his son, the Li father and son, who were far away in the southwest, were also very uneasy.
At the same time, Feng Zijing's suppression of bandits was very successful.
Seeing that there was no response to the memorial requesting the removal of his title, Li Pei and his son did not dare to submit another memorial requesting the removal of his official title.
They are really afraid. What if the emperor is right?
He has been running a business for many years, and he really cannot stop being an official.
But no matter what he said in the memorial, the emperor would not reply. He just thought that the emperor's mind was indeed unpredictable, but due to a moment of negligence, he was treated like this by the emperor.
At this time, Li Pei and his son had already forgotten about their repeated requests for military pay.
In the imperial city, Qi Yixiu would naturally not touch the father and son for now, but after the bandit suppression was completely cleaned up, he would investigate them thoroughly.
The saying that there is no harm without comparison is also appropriate here.
When comparing how Feng Zijing used military pay with Li Pei and his son, the difference is huge.
The previous dynasty was in turmoil, and the harem was also very uneasy.
Shen Chuliu and Lady Yao were strolling around Luming Lake. It was too hot and they didn't want to stay indoors, so they came here early in the morning and planned to go back in the evening.
There aren't many people here anyway.
"Have you heard, Your Majesty? The Ninth Prince fell ill again yesterday." Concubine Yao shook her head slightly.
"What's wrong now? Wasn't the previous problem solved?" Previously, because of the incense, the Ninth Prince had nightmares all the time. Later, the cause was found, and the imperial doctors prescribed the right medicine, and he got much better, at least he no longer had nightmares.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the Ninth Prince's body... is probably still badly damaged. Although that matter has been resolved, he has suffered a lot in the past few years. In addition, Zhen Chongyi dotes on him too much. It is said that he is still drinking milk now, and even after changing wet nurses several times, he still can't stop." said Concubine Yao.
"Is this... too much?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
According to the current trend, no one drinks milk for so many years.
At most, he is only three years old.
Her son Yan'er only drank it until he was two years old, and then he no longer liked to drink it.
"More than that. It is said that the Ninth Prince needs a wet nurse or a maid to accompany him to sleep, otherwise he will not sleep." Lady Yao said.
"The Empress Dowager doesn't care either?" Shen Chuliu was surprised.
"I'm afraid the Empress Dowager isn't very clear about these matters. Even though I'm of their family bloodline, she doesn't keep such a close eye on me." Lady Yao said.
"That's true. He is not as good as the Tenth Prince. Although the Tenth Prince is still young, when I met him some time ago, I thought he was sensible, well-behaved and intelligent. He is totally unlike Qian." Shen Chuliu said.
"It's true. The Tenth Prince is not in good health, but he looks better now and looks presentable." Lady Yao sighed, "It's a pity that his mother is not well."
"Whether it's good or not, Qian has been very honest in the past few years. Just like Miao Meiren, she knows what's good and what's bad after she's suffered."
"Speaking of Concubine Miao, she does have occasional contact with the third prince now and then. But from what I see, the higher-ups don't care about it?" Concubine Yao said.
"How can we take care of this? The people are alive, and Miao Mei has been well-behaved over the years. It's not good to not let others see this as it is human ethics. They, mother and son, are both restrained, so it's fine. The third prince has an extremely gentle temperament, which is rare." Shen Chuliu said.
As the two were talking, it was already time for lunch. Shen Chuliu had already asked someone to tell the Sixth Prince to eat by himself today.
So she and Concubine Yao set up lunch in the pavilion beside Luming Lake.
The wind here is blowing, which is quite comfortable.
In the afternoon, the two of them took a short nap on the soft chairs in the pavilion.
After such a carefree day, the emperor was attracted to the Yufu Palace at night.
"I heard that my beloved concubine had a good time all day. If it weren't for so many letters, I would have wanted to go." The emperor said with a smile.
"That's it. I felt comfortable today. I had been thinking of feeling comfortable every now and then, but then your Majesty came. Someone has to learn from me this time." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The emperor was amused and said, "Then you can enjoy yourself in your own palace. I will ask someone to bring you more fruits."
Qi Yixiu leaned on the soft couch in the outer room, looking at Shen Chuliu's outfit.
She was wearing a simple light green skirt.
Her hair was tied in a bun with a hairpin inserted diagonally, and on it were large pearls.
There were a few small pearl flowers, and her face had obviously been washed, without a trace of makeup.
Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Shen Chuliu came without knowing where she was and was pulled into Qi Yixiu's arms. Maybe it was because of the rough movement, or her hair was too slippery after washing yesterday, so her hairpin was pulled off.
It fell to the ground, and I don’t know if it was because of poor quality or what, but the pure gold thing actually broke.
Too crispy...
Shen Chuliu was speechless: "Your Majesty?"
"Well, I'll compensate you." Qi Yixiu smiled and held her in his arms.
Shen Chuliu's hair became messy, and she simply took off all the jewelry she had and threw them aside: "I thought I had done something wrong."
"How could that be? My beloved is really so honest, right?" Qi Yixiu said this with a joking smile.
In his mind, this woman is perfect in every way and it is impossible for her to be honest.
"Well, the emperor is handsome, and whatever he says is right." Shen Chuliu simply lay down.
Qi Yixiu laughed again, and then looked at her: "My beloved concubine, over the years, your favorite is still the ruqun, and it is this kind of chest-length one?"
He thought for a moment and said, "I still remember a time when my beloved concubine wore a light pink skirt with a butterfly embroidered on the chest. Its wings fluttered as if it was about to fly. My beloved concubine also painted the corners of her eyes to look like they were about to fly."
I don’t know how many years ago this happened, I only think of it occasionally. In fact, if you ask me when it happened, Qi Yixiu would not be able to remember.
After all, that was when Yan'er was very young.
"The emperor is still very young. It's terrible for him to start reminiscing about the past now." Shen Chuliu laughed.
"I don't remember the past." Qi Yixiu smiled and moved to hold her down: "It's not bad now."
"Ouch, my waist is broken!" Shen Chuliu was pressed down and was about to fall on the hairpin she had just taken off.
I don't know what it was, it broke into pieces with a bang...
Qi Yixiu looked at the pair of jewelry that had no shape to tell, and couldn't help laughing: "It's my fault, I'll compensate you for it."
Shen Chuliu sighed: "Your Majesty, is he only concerned about the jewelry?"
She sighed and went into the inner room, and sure enough, her waist was rubbed red by the jewelry.
Soon, the meal was served.
Just after finishing dinner, I saw Chusi coming with his men, carrying a large box.
"All these are compensation to my beloved concubine. My beloved concubine has these, and they are worth their weight in gold."
