Chapter 572 Meeting
She is much older than Concubine Li, but unfortunately there is no way, she has to call her sister.
"Don't be polite, we are all the same. The twelfth prince is also pitiful. It will be your blessing if you take good care of him." Concubine Li said this with sincerity.
Unfortunately, there's just something wrong.
Concubine Ning just smiled and responded without saying anything.
The Queen had nothing to say, so everyone left early. Of course, the Queen kept Concubine Ning because she had to make arrangements for the child.
Shen Chuliu originally wanted to go see the emperor in the afternoon, but now he had nothing to do, so he strolled to the Taiji Palace.
When the emperor heard that Shen Chuliu was coming, he laughed, "Did she know that I just came out of court? She was invited to have dinner with me."
Shen Chuliu laughed when he heard this and said, "Then eat some more."
So she washed her hands first and had breakfast with the emperor.
It was true that she had eaten a meal, but she was not that full. After consuming for a while, she felt that she could still eat a little more, so she ate a lot again.
"Is the emperor very busy this morning?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Well, you need to meet someone. Your grandfather is here too. Do you want to meet him too?"
"The emperor has serious business to attend to, why should I see him?" Shen Chuliu shook his head.
"It's okay. What Lord Pei said is simple. Come and see me when you've finished. I don't have time to accompany you in the morning. You can go around by yourself. We'll have lunch together at noon, and I'll accompany you to visit the garden in the afternoon." The emperor said and waved his hand and left.
Shen Chuliu raised an eyebrow. What's wrong with the tone of voice that was used to coax a child?
But okay, since the emperor had said so, she couldn't refuse him, right? So she asked someone to set up refreshments in the small garden outside the Taiji Palace and waited for Pei Jiancheng.
It wasn't too fast. It took more than an hour before Pei Jiancheng was brought over.
He thought Shen Chuliu had something important to ask him, so after greeting him, he asked, "Is there anything, Madam?"
"It's nothing, grandpa, please sit down and talk." Shen Chuliu smiled and poured him tea personally.
"It's just that I came from Fengzao Palace and asked casually. The emperor said he wanted to see you and said we haven't seen each other in private for a long time, so he asked me to wait. There's nothing wrong."
"Oh, so that's the case. It's the emperor's great grace." Pei Jiancheng bowed towards the emperor's study.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "How is everything at home? I met my grandmother during the New Year holidays, but there were many people around, so I didn't ask in detail."
"Everything is fine, everything is fine at home. I am just worried about the queen." Pei Jiancheng smiled: "But seeing that the queen is fine today, I feel relieved."
"Fortunately, the previous incident did not involve the Queen." Pei Jiancheng said.
If the Shen family submitted a memorial to curse others, then the Pei family was even simpler, they just ignored it.
Not standing on either side.
Although they have granddaughters in the palace, they are not granddaughters after all, so they have always played the role of serious and loyal ministers.
The Shen family can be considered as in-laws in any case.
"The weather is still cold and it's not raining. Grandpa is old and goes out before dawn every day. Please make sure to wear more clothes." Shen Chuliu said.
"I heard that outsiders are more particular, and they have to wait outside the palace early to come in. Grandfather sits in the carriage while waiting. We don't lack charcoal in our house."
"Oh, don't worry, Your Majesty. I, an old man, still value you very much. You don't have to worry about me. It's not easy for Your Majesty in the palace, but I can't do anything about it. Fortunately, I'm here, so I can be of use." Pei Jiancheng suddenly felt jealous.
Although he is a junior, I have not seen him since I was a child, and I have seen him less in the past few years since I came back.
We moved around, but I can't say we were that close.
But at this time, I kept chattering about some family matters, just like when my daughter was still alive when she was a child, I was always worried about them.
There is always a shadow of my daughter in this child.
"It's not easy in the palace, but I'm used to it. It's been like this for years. It's just that the princes are getting older, so disputes are inevitable. They are all princes, regardless of their status. It all depends on their fate."
Shen Chuliu smiled again: "Grandfather, don't worry about me, we just let it go. The emperor is very kind and has been very good to the Pei family, the Shen family, and me."
"That's right. Things will be even better after Deputy Commander Shen returns to Beijing. After all, the emperor has been very kind to the Shen family. Your Majesty should devote herself to serving the emperor." Pei Jiancheng said with a smile.
What he meant was that he thought the emperor had become suspicious of the Shen family and had asked all the Shen family members to come back.
But unexpectedly, although he came back, Shen Qingling was given a more important position.
It is said that there is also a Yu Chan above, but so what? What is the reputation of the Shen family? As long as Shen Qingling is not a stupid person, he can gain a foothold in the Imperial City Division.
Therefore, the emperor’s favor to the Shen family can be said to be as heavy as a mountain.
At times like this, Concubine Jing naturally had to be careful not to be ostentatious or overdo it.
"Grandpa is right." Shen Chuliu said that he understood.
The grandparents and grandchildren stayed together for a while and then dispersed. Pei Jiancheng still had a lot of things to do.
At noon, Shen Chuliu accompanied the emperor for dinner and took a nap here.
In the afternoon, the two went to Luming Lake.
The magnolias are in full bloom now. Although the weather is still a little cold, it creates a unique atmosphere.
"The second son's wedding is scheduled for July. I'm afraid it won't be possible to go out to escape the summer heat this year." The emperor said with some regret.
"Then let's do it next year." Shen Chuliu didn't care.
The prince's wedding is naturally no small matter, and it is the first in this dynasty, so the emperor must be present.
Although the emperor would definitely not go to the second prince's house, it would not sound good if the emperor was not in the imperial city.
Could it be that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the second prince? That's why he definitely didn't go out.
"The construction of the third son's mansion has also begun. But our Yan'er is still young. When he grows up, let him choose the place himself." The emperor said with a smile.
"It's too early to talk about the future now. Why is the Second Prince moving?" The Second Prince's mansion was rebuilt from the mansion of an official of the previous dynasty.
Because he hasn't been crowned king yet, the scale is not very large.
However, if I become king in the future, expansion will not be difficult.
Just looking at Qi Yixiu's attitude, it won't be blocked for the time being.
The two people were strolling by the lake, but because the emperor had ordered people to clear the way, they didn't meet anyone by chance.
Finally, the emperor didn't want to leave anymore, so he went to Yufu Palace with Shen Chuliu.
It was Yao Chongyuan who was moving, and she was a little blocked on the way, which made Yao Chongyuan very embarrassed.
The emperor didn't care too much.
Yao Chongyuan hurriedly served tea to the emperor and Shen Chuliu, then left tactfully.
"I begged the Empress to ask her to move to Cuiyunxuan. She didn't want to leave, but she is the Empress Consort after all." Shen Chuliu explained.
"Well, since you live close to each other, you can keep each other company. You have helped her a lot over the years, and she should be grateful." The emperor said lightly.
To put it bluntly, after he listened to Shen Chuliu's advice to promote Yao's family, he almost forgot about what happened back then.
But to be honest, if Yao had not been following Concubine Jing for many years, the emperor would definitely not have remembered her.
