Chapter 555: So-called Distant Relatives
Of course Shen Chuliu was not in a hurry to watch, because she was taken away by the emperor again.
The emperor hasn't been to the backyard for more than twenty days, which is very unreasonable.
The next day, I had to pay my respects early in the morning and didn't have time to read it.
In Fengzao Palace, as soon as I entered, I saw Concubine Zhuang bullying Concubine Li. This has become a daily routine.
As arrogant as Li was before, he is as cowardly now. It is really unbearable to watch.
Everyone greeted Shen Chuliu, and Shen Chuliu just raised his hand and sat down.
Because of the previous rumors, Concubine Jin was depressed. Although Concubine Li took the blame, she felt guilty. So she didn't have the energy to find trouble with Shen Chuliu.
The whole thing shrank like a quail.
As for Concubine Qian Shu, since the Second Prince did not do a good job, she naturally did not hold her head high as before. She and Concubine Jin were just a pair of quails.
The more Concubine Li watched, the funnier it became. She was just waiting for Shen Chuliu to come and share her joy.
Concubine Shun has had no presence for thousands of years, and Concubine Li doesn't talk to her in a close manner.
"Sister Jing, have you heard? The emperor has arranged a marriage for General Feng's eldest daughter. The mansion owner is the eldest son of Duke Anyang. Duke Anyang is a royal family member and has kept a low profile for many years. Moreover, there is a rule in the mansion that a man cannot take a concubine unless he is childless by the age of 40. And he comes from a good family. The young master said that he wants to take the imperial examination, which shows that he has a promising future. This is a proper marriage." Concubine Li said with a smile.
"Really? This is a good thing. I wonder if the Queen will send a gift to Anyang Mansion. If so, we can take one." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"It must be a gift. I'll ask someone to prepare it later." Concubine Li smiled and said, "Ah, this person is afraid of comparison. Look at what General Feng's family is like now."
"Empress Li is right. Thinking back to Concubine Qian... Hey. You really don't know the difference until you compare them. Once you compare them, there is nothing to say." Mei Chongyuan laughed.
Concubine Qian lowered her head.
"General Feng is indeed a capable man, but he was almost buried in the Ministry of War over the years. Now he is a military general who has entered the cabinet and is leading the troops himself. It can be seen that he is a powerful figure. But I heard that General Feng Zijing is actually a distant relative of Concubine Qianshu's family?" Zhen Chongyi asked with a smile.
"A distant relative." Concubine Qian Shu said indifferently.
"Then your information is not very reliable, Zhen Chongyi. Distant relatives are distant relatives, but when your Feng family was powerful, no one recognized General Feng Zijing." Yan Xiurong also said calmly: "Now, Concubine Qian Shu's branch is also a distant relative of General Feng Zijing's family, a side branch."
Everyone laughed.
That’s right. The Feng family has arrived, but they have never interacted with them before, so it doesn’t make sense to call them distant relatives.
Concubine Qian Shu snorted, "Hasn't Yan Xiurong always been very noble? Why are you so humble now? What's wrong? Your best friend gave birth to a princess and got promoted, so you can't sit still? That's right, you've been favored for a few years, why don't you see any movement in your belly?"
"Isn't it a good thing for me to be silent? If I give birth to an incompetent child, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?" Yan Xiurong said lightly.
As it turned out, Concubine Qian Shu couldn't accept or not accept this.
This is a satire on the Second Prince's incompetence, but if she accepts it, wouldn't that be an admission?
"You are so sharp-tongued. I hope you can always be so capable." Concubine Qian Shu snorted.
Yan Xiurong didn't reply.
"Come to think of it, after Concubine Lin is born, she might be promoted." Ning Zhaorong suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned.
Promotion.
The Nine Concubines of Jin.
There are now two positions above the Nine Concubines. One is Zhaoyi, the head of the Nine Concubines, and the other is Zhaoyuan, who is in the Zhao position.
If Lin Jieyu, who had just entered the palace, had jumped to these two positions...
How many people would be unwilling to accept that.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "When I first entered the palace, all the upper positions were vacant. Now it's different. It's hard to get promoted."
"Sister Jing is right. Now the four positions of concubines are full. There is still room for the four concubines of the first rank, but two of the nine concubines are left at the front. Oh, I'm really scared. What if the fire of fighting and quarreling gets to me?" Concubine Li understood the meaning of the conversation by hearing the music and continued.
"Look at what you said. You are at least the Li Fei, a concubine of the second rank. Who dares to provoke you? If I really provoke you, I will do what I have to do. I am a person who sometimes does not care about the severity of my actions. If you want to harm me, unless you do it without anyone knowing, otherwise you can wait for death." Shen Chuliu sneered.
She drew upturned eyebrows and eyes today, so when she looked around, there was a natural sense of majesty in her.
Everyone suddenly realized that this was not what they were talking about. Concubine Jing and Concubine Li were telling everyone that you can fight, but don't cause trouble for them.
Tsk, considering the methods Concubine Jing has used over the years, everyone really needs to think more about it.
When the queen came out, she still acted as if she knew nothing. She said what she needed to say, then waved her hand and told everyone to disperse.

Shen Chuliu returned to Yufu Palace and finally had time to look at the things the emperor had people bring in yesterday.
After moving the things in and opening them, there were more than a dozen boxes of various sizes inside.
When you open it, you will find both sets of jewelry and single pieces.
Everything is new and dazzling.
There are eight step-shaking ornaments alone.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Your Majesty is bleeding this time, right?"
"Master, what you said is true. You usually have enough of these, but now you have more. The emperor also said that these are worth wearing on you." Chi Su flattered the emperor.
Shen Chuliu just smiled and asked people to put the things away. She never lacked these things.
But for women, jewelry is always a rarity.
"The cabinet at the back is full. Should we select some items that the master doesn't use often and send them to the warehouse at the back?" Zhemei said.
"This...it's hard to say which one the master still needs." Jimei was also worried.
"I wanted to tell you something. It's not just the jewelry. The same goes for the clothes in the closet. Those things can't be put in the warehouse. There's no room for them." Zengchun was also very worried.
The four older girls were at a loss as to what to do.
Nanny Zhang thought for a moment and clapped her hands, "Isn't there an empty room in the east hall? Let's clean it up and put it there for the master's clothes and jewelry. It's not a storehouse, just put it there. When the master wants to get dressed in the morning, she can go over and choose, or ask us."
"Well, this is a good idea. We can open the door between the east hall and the main hall. It's just a short corridor anyway." Chi Su said.
He did it right away and quickly asked someone to start making the jewelry.
Shen Chuliu woke up from her nap and saw that it was Suihong and Xinlu who were serving her. She was curious: "What were they doing?"
"My Lord, they are cleaning up the east side hall, saying that they are going to build a room for you to store your clothes and jewelry. Now your dressing table and the front cabinet are full, and the wardrobe can't hold any more. There are many things you still need that cannot be placed in the storeroom."
