Chapter 565 Too Late
There is no need to mention Concubine Li, it is useless.
However, after the emperor ignored the father and son for seven or eight days, he issued an order to remove Li Pei and his eldest son and second son from their official positions.
It means staying in Beijing for observation. It means that if you have nothing to do in a few years, you can still have an official position.
But everyone knows that this is just hanging high.
However, the Li family still retained a title, the Marquis, which means he is not an ordinary person.
Because of this, Lady Li was angry again, but she had no other choice.
When the Li family returned to the imperial city in the twelfth lunar month, Lady Li found out that her aunt had also died of illness and was buried in Liangcheng in the southwest.
As a result, Lady Li was so angry that she fell ill and did not even show up for the New Year.
Of course, this is a matter for the future. Right now, the palace is busy celebrating the New Year.
No one cared about these things. Shen Chuliu was not feeling well, so he didn't go out.
Lady Yao comes to accompany me every day.
Rong Xiuyuan would come occasionally. After she was promoted to the ninth concubine, she came less often. She also took the initiative to explain to Shen Chuliu that it was not because she had no conscience, but that she came so often now that people were looking at her sideways.
It’s better not to come.
But my heart is with the Empress.
Shen Chuliu said everything was fine.
Shen Chuliu didn't expect anything from Rong Xiuyuan, but it was not bad that she had this idea.
So Shen Chuliu was particularly quiet during this period of time when he was recuperating.
The main reason was that the emperor was extremely busy, as the campaign to suppress bandits in the southwest was finally coming to an end.
In addition, it was the end of the year and the court was busy, so the emperor had not entered the harem for more than a month.
Shen Chuliu thought that this life would continue until next year.
As a result, when she woke up in the afternoon one day, she saw the emperor lying in front of her.
Are you shocked? She looked at Chi Su with her eyes. Your master is sleeping like a pig now? You didn't even react? But she was sleeping on the big couch in the outer room, so it was normal that she didn't feel it.
As soon as she stood up, the emperor opened his eyes: "Not sleeping anymore? Are you feeling better?"
"It's nothing, just a cough." Shen Chuliu said as he felt his throat itchy and coughed a few times.
The emperor nodded and said, "From what I hear from you, you are almost well. You should rest for a few more days and don't catch a cold again."
After Shen Chuliu thanked the emperor, he subconsciously said that the emperor had lost weight recently.
Anyway, this statement is a panacea.
The emperor is obviously not fat, he has just lost weight.
I'm not afraid of saying something wrong. I care about you.
Qi Yixiu also hummed, not wanting to get up: "I'm afraid my brain must be dry these days."
Shen Chuliu laughed out loud: "Your Majesty, please don't complain. The emperor is the emperor, and he deserves to work hard."
Shen Chuliu asked someone to serve her pear soup. Although she had been coughing due to wind recently, she had a strong internal heat, so she had been drinking pear soup to reduce the heat.
There are some wolfberries in this soup, which is really delicious.
The emperor thought the drink was delicious and ordered another bowl.
"I haven't come to see you for some time, but you feel comfortable."
"Are you still comfortable when you are sick? Besides, I have the emperor with me, so I am naturally comfortable. Do you think I should suffer?" Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu didn't argue with her. He felt much more comfortable after his sleep today.
My whole body feels loose. I have been lacking sleep during this period.
When he first came, he saw Concubine Jing sleeping soundly on the couch, and he immediately felt sleepy. Now that he was awake, he felt really comfortable.
The emperor didn't play chess today. He really didn't want to use his brain.
Shen Chuliu called Xinlu over and found a book to read.
Qi Yixiu finally praised her: "You have a good voice, girl."
"If the emperor likes her, I will give her to you?" Of course, when she said this, Xinlu had already gone out.
There were only Jimei and Zhemei in the palace. These two people were tight-lipped.
"Am I so impatient? Your girl, just use it yourself." Qi Yixiu tapped her forehead.
Qi Yixiu doesn’t have many concubines in his harem, and he himself is not a lustful person.
Although there were concubines who were born as palace maids, Su was promoted by Concubine Yi, and her background was different.
Apart from this, Qi Yixiu did not want palace maids.
Sun Gengyi is an example.
Of course, Xinlu didn’t know about this in the end, otherwise it would have been disheartening.
Qi Yixiu didn't stay overnight, but stayed here all afternoon and left before dinner.
Shen Chuliu stayed there for a few more days. During this time, the emperor came again and this time he stayed overnight, which made the concubines in the harem jealous.
On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Chuliu had just gotten up to pay respects when she saw Yuanxiao come in: "Master, Concubine Lin has started."
Shen Chuliu responded and then walked slowly.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, someone came to tell me to go directly to Concubine Lin.
Shen Chuliu set off to Lin Jieyu's Shuyuxuan. As soon as she entered, she greeted the queen and didn't have time to ask how she was.
Then someone rushed over to hug her: "Empress, Xu Baolin has started."
"What a coincidence." Concubine Jin said.
"Don't make a fuss. Call the imperial physician and the delivery nanny over." The queen sat steadily and said, "Concubine Qian Shu, you go to Xu Baolin's place to watch. You guys can go too."
Concubine Qian Shu agreed. She didn't really want to go, but she was the most senior after the Queen and was a little vain.
Finally, it was Concubine Qian Shu, Ning Zhaorong and Su Xiuyi who went.
On Concubine Lin's side, everything had already been arranged.
The emperor was still busy as he had an early morning court session today, so he didn't come until mid-morning.
Concubine Lin started giving birth around noon.
Everyone had lunch here, waiting for Concubine Lin to be born.
At three quarters past three in the afternoon, Concubine Lin finally gave birth.
But at this time the emperor was no longer here, and there were still a lot of ministers who wanted to see him.
The eighth princess was born, and both mother and daughter are safe.
Everyone was tired, but Xu Baolin hadn't given birth yet.
Everyone waited for this side to be settled, and then the emperor's oral order came, rewarding the mother and daughter, but did not mention the promotion. Only then did everyone feel at ease and went to Xu Baolin.
In Qingyin Pavilion, Xu Baolin's situation was not very good. She and Concubine Lin started having sex at almost the same time, but both have not been able to give birth yet.
So, just when the Queen and others arrived, they saw the nanny in the delivery room screaming that blood was seen.
Everyone's expression changed.
There was a chaos and the delivery room was in even greater disorder. The current situation was that Xu Baolin would not have the strength to give birth if she continued like this.
So the maid came out and begged the queen: "Queen, please give us some advice. If we continue like this... I'm afraid... everyone, big or small..."
This is to ask, should we save the big one or the small one?
"Go, ask the Emperor right away," said the Queen.
The nanny said anxiously, "Madam, it's too late. Even if we run this fast, it will take us 25 minutes. It's really too late."
The queen bit her lip. It was too late to ask the emperor, and it was even too late to ask the empress dowager.
"Do your best to hold them and their child." The Queen looked at the Nanny and said, "If there are any difficulties, the heir is the most important."
The nanny bowed her head to the ground and ran back in a hurry.
