Chapter 588 Caution
After paying respects, Song smiled and said, "This little garden is wonderful, small and exquisite, and it can be used as a place for relaxation when your majesty has nothing to do."
Shen Chuliu nodded and watched the maids serve tea and snacks.
"Is everything okay at home?"
Ever since Qu passed away, Song has been in charge of family affairs.
After Shen Qingling came back, she wanted to ask Li to learn some housekeeping skills from Lan and Zhu.
But Shen Qingling acted too quickly and moved out with his people.
Although Shen Qingling and Li often come back, they don't care about family matters.
Liang is now a widow and doesn't take care of things, at least she doesn't take on less of a share. Her son is his legal wife and her daughter-in-law is obedient, so she is too lazy to take care of anything.
Instead, he took the son and daughter left by the Shang family seriously and taught them well.
"Everything is fine. Your Majesty, don't worry. The master is in good health too." Song said.
"That's good. It's good for me too. I went to Songshan Palace some time ago and met my third brother. It's good to see him too." Shen Chuliu actually sees Shen Qingling the most nowadays.
"Ah, Qingling is a very capable child. It is good for him to be in the imperial court more often. If there is anything, he can communicate with the queen." Song smiled and praised: "Yunniang is also a very good child. She is filial to me and is efficient in doing things."
Yunniang was referring to Shen Qingling’s wife, Li.
Li blushed: "Aunt, please don't praise me in front of the queen. I feel embarrassed when you praise me."
"My sister-in-law is really good, how can I blame Madam for praising her?" Lan smiled.
Shen Chuliu just took a sip of the tea, thinking that everyone in the harem was fighting over a man.
There is indeed a lot of smoke of war among the women of the Shen family.
Unfortunately, Shen Qingling was such a smart man that he was too lazy to get his wife involved and just moved out.
No matter what, in her own house, Li is the master of the housekeeper.
After a few words of casual chat, Shen Chuliu had actually only mentioned it before, and there was no specific need to meet the Shen family.
It was Song who took the initiative to talk about some family matters.
What I’m talking about is that Shen Qingyun, the illegitimate son of the third house, is also going to get married.
"It is Lan's cousin who has been confirmed." Song explained.
This cousin was also born out of wedlock, but she was raised by the madam, as her own aunt passed away early.
"When the time comes, she will be registered with her stepmother and married into the family as a legitimate daughter. Qingyun will take the imperial examination. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is also a member of our Shen family. As long as she has an imperial examination, her future will not be difficult." Song said.
"That's great, of course. Now that it's decided, I'll have someone send my gift to you later. After all, you are the youngest brother of this generation." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
She was not close to Shen Qinghe and the others, let alone Shen Qingyun, whom she had never met? It was just a personal relationship, just a gift.
After seeing Song off, Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Aunt must feel very emotional that her daughter-in-law is not as good as the one from the third room."
The Song family has been smart and powerful all their lives, but unfortunately the Lan family is too weak.
He's not smart enough and thinks too much.
Although Li looks honest, she is actually a woman of her own accord, and is more like Song's daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, although Shen Qingling had no intention of breaking with the Shen family, he became estranged from the family after losing his father.
After Shen Qingling came back, the emperor has always liked this person.
He often walked before the emperor.
However, Shen Qinghe and Shen Qingyang's official positions up to now still prevent them from appearing in court to meet the emperor. This is the difference.
And Shen Changjing and Shen Zhong will eventually go there. At that time, the most powerful person in the Shen family will definitely be Shen Qingling.
This is probably the biggest feeling of Song and Shen Zhong.
At noon, news came that there was another happy event in the Second Prince's mansion.
The second prince's concubine Zhu is pregnant again.
The second prince's eldest son was born to this Zhu. Although he was taken away to be raised by the legitimate concubine, everyone still knew his origin.
"With this baby, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhu will be able to get promoted?" Chi Su said.
"Then it depends on the second prince. If he likes her, maybe Zhu will be one of his concubines." Shen Chuliu said.
After all, Zhu was also a girl from a good family.
"Alas, we have been married for more than two years, the wife has not given birth yet, and we already have two concubines. Although the first one was given to the wife, he is not a biological child after all." Chi Su shook her head.
"I don't believe that the second prince did this on purpose." Shen Chuliu murmured.
He felt that the Second Prince should want the child born by Li Qiu Shui, but if he didn't, that was fate.
Of course, the pregnancy of a concubine in a prince's mansion is not a big deal. Once everyone knows about it, it will be known, and there will be no reward.
Let’s talk about it after the baby is born.
Shen Chuliu would only listen to what was happening outside, as this kind of thing had nothing to do with her.
The Sixth Prince ran away after lunch. He was going to the training ground to practice martial arts in the afternoon, and he ran very actively.
Shen Chuliu shook his head and thought that this child was still biased towards one subject.
The Sixth Prince, who was not good at any subject, was also very tired after a round of archery.
But the most tired one was my friend Song Yunze.
Song Yunze's hands were shaking like sieves at this moment.
Shen Qingling shook his head: "Young Master Song, you don't have to come here from tomorrow. With your physique, you should study hard."
"Ah?" Song Yunze was at a loss.
"Hahaha, okay, you don't need to practice martial arts starting tomorrow. I really admire you, hahaha. It's been a few years, and you're getting weaker and weaker." The Sixth Prince laughed.
"Ah?" Song Yunze was even more confused.
"What? If you study hard, I am counting on you to pass the imperial examination." The Sixth Prince said with a smile.
"Really, you don't need to practice anymore?" Song Yunze came alive instantly. He really didn't like this, no matter what! "You have a poor physique and are a good student. You don't need to learn these things." Shen Qingling smiled and said, "But you can run in the training ground every other day to strengthen your body."
"Okay, thank you, General." Song Yunze was overjoyed.
He and He Feiyang always called Shen Qingling General, and since Shen Qingling couldn't correct him, they just ignored it.
The next day, Shen Chuliu learned about this and laughed for a long time: "Okay, one is civil and the other is martial, that's good, don't force other people's children."
The Sixth Prince smacked his lips: "All right."
Shen Chuliu touched his head with amusement and let him go.
When I returned to Ruiqing Palace, I saw Chu Gu standing up: "Master."
"Okay? It's only been a few days. Don't make it worse due to the hot weather. Just lie down for a month." said the Sixth Prince.
"I'm much better now, Your Highness, don't worry." Chu Gu smiled embarrassedly.
"Tsk, just lie down when I told you to. Come back in a month. If you don't obey, I will deduct your salary." The Sixth Prince glared.
"My salary is not paid by the Sixth Prince." Chu Gu was stupid.
The Sixth Prince had nothing to say.
He Feiyang laughed and pulled Chu Gu away: "Are you stupid? I told you to take a rest, so you should take a rest. Now that His Highness is not going out, you should take good care of your injuries."
Chu Gu had no choice but to go.
Mei Xiuyi has recently started to retreat to take care of her pregnancy. She is a very cautious person.
