Chapter 61 The Rich and Beautiful Woman
"I am a vulgar person, and I have always only known the rich and beautiful women in the world. I will definitely not be able to understand the ethereal aura of you, Concubine Ning, who is otherworldly." Shen Chuliu smiled.
Concubine Yi also considers herself noble and virtuous, but she is different from Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning was probably the most elegant and noble person in the palace.
So, when Shen Chuliu said this, everyone smiled.
"Lady Jing is indeed a good speaker! But she should not forget her identity." Concubine Ning said hatefully.
"How could I forget? You keep calling me Lady Jing, so I know my identity. But you, Concubine Ning, are you prone to forgetting? In the palace, there are nine people for the titles of Concubine, Lady, and Talent. Why do I feel that Concubine Ning has forgotten?"
Shen Chuliu was mocking her for thinking of herself as a big shot because she was one grade higher.
"Lady Jing is now more eloquent than before. Now that her position has risen, she has naturally become bolder." Concubine Jin started stirring up trouble again.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "My great-grandmother lived to be one hundred and eight."
Concubine Jin was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"When she was alive, she never meddlesome other people's business." Shen Chuliu said coldly.
Everyone burst out laughing and Concubine Yi almost choked on her tea.
Concubine Jin's face flushed immediately: "Lady Jing, you are too bold."
"Empress Jin, please exercise some restraint. This is Fengzao Palace." Shen Chuliu continued in a cold tone.
Concubine Jin was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only glare at Shen Chuliu hatefully.
When the queen came out, Concubine Jin's face turned red, but she could only bear it.
The queen said a few words as if she knew nothing, and then asked everyone to disperse.
The Empress Dowager has issued an edict that the Empress does not need to pay respects to the Queen before giving birth, and can wait until she is out of confinement.
Originally, Concubine Feng said she would take everyone with her, but Empress Dowager Feng sent a message saying that it was not necessary.
So during this period of time, no one needs to go to the Empress Dowager's palace.
In recent days, Lu Xiaoyi has been diligent and has been serving in Fengzao Palace every day.
She has nothing to gain now, so naturally she dares not to be careless.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Lu Xiaoyi also stayed to serve.
Concubine Jin glared at Shen Chuliu and left.
Ning Jieyu said calmly: "Lady Jing should be more restrained, otherwise the saying that those who climb high will fall hard will be true."
"If Sister Ning were to give me some advice as a sister, I would not listen. If Concubine Ning were to give me a lecture, I would say that I am not good enough as a Concubine. Why don't you try to climb up in the future?" Shen Chuliu paused when she said this: "Oh, you can't go up. You have to stay firmly in this position of Concubine. After all, if you climb high, you will fall hard."
After saying that, he took Chi Su's hand and walked away.
We are the same people, why are we pretending to be so high and mighty? Concubine Ning was furious, but she was never one to compete with others like this, so she could only hold on to her maid's hand and walk away.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Zirui became worried after hearing what Chisu said: "Then you must have offended Concubine Ning today."
"I have always felt that Concubine Ning is more powerful than Yi Chongyuan."
"I'm already a beauty, and you're not allowing me to be pampered and become spoiled?" Shen Chuliu smiled.
Being pampered and rewarded like this, how can you remain calm?
That's so amazing.
She can't do it, she is so weak.
Wouldn't it be great if the emperor saw me as weak, and if the concubines in the harem saw me as weak too?
"Don't worry, Sister Zirui. Look at that beautiful lady, hasn't she always been like this? It's nothing unusual. Our master just pokes people occasionally." Zizhu said.
Shen Chuliu stretched out his hands and asked Jimei and Chisu to help him take off his coat.
"You guys, don't worry about these things. Get your things in order. The New Year is over, and we should buy some new things. Make some account books. Keep track of where things came from and went from, as well as the interpersonal relationships. Also, remember to give gifts to the servants."
"Yes, but if you don't move out, do we still need to add more people?" Zizhu said.
"It's not necessary for now. But, when I can receive you in the future, you guys will have to be smart. Yao Baolin is an honest person, she won't do anything. We have fewer people here, which is an advantage after all." Shen Chuliu said.
"Yes." Zizhu responded.
Sure enough, starting from the next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent things here one after another, and the furnishings and furniture needed to be replaced.
There were many things of all sizes that had been replaced inside. She was just a beauty and couldn't live in the main hall, but the side hall also had to be tidied up.
Not only that, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs meant to transplant a few more trees when the weather gets warmer sometime later.
Shen Chuliu remembered it all.
The rewards that should be given have been given.
Next came the rewards and gifts from the concubines.
At the same time, the beauty Li was also very lively.
Because Shen Chuliu was the emperor's slept companion before the fifteenth, after the fifteenth, the emperor went to Concubine Yi's palace first, and Concubine Yi was the emperor's slept companion for three consecutive days.
When it was finally Li Xiaoyi's turn, it was already the end of the month.
But the queen's baby did not arrive until February.
She was born on the last night of the first lunar month.
The birth happened very quickly. By the time the emperor arrived at Fengzao Palace, the second princess had already been born.
The emperor liked her very much and immediately gave her the name Qi Yu.
The Queen knew that her daughter was a little disappointed, but not that disappointed.
However, everyone in the palace was delighted when they heard that the queen had given birth to a girl.
Especially Concubine Feng.
It would be great if the queen gave birth to a daughter.
Even if the queen has the chance to give birth to a prince in the future, her second prince should have grown up by then.
Because the queen gave birth too quickly, Shen Chuliu and others were sent back by the emperor's order before they even arrived.
They had no choice but to go back to their own places.
"It all depends on Yi Chongyuan's pregnancy." Shen Chuliu said as he took off his coat again.
"It will take several more months. I heard that her pregnancy is very unstable and she always has stomach pain." Zizhu said.
"That's a sure thing. She was too low-key in this pregnancy. The emperor didn't reward her or promote her. I don't know whether he despises her or protects her." Shen Chuliu took off the jewelry on her hair herself.
As she spoke, she pondered, suspecting that this was both disdain and protection.
Because Yi Chongyuan is like this, no one wants to harm her.
In Fengzao Palace, after the emperor left, the queen looked at the chubby, rosy-cheeked baby in the cradle and smiled: "Our little princess will surely be pretty in the future."
"Yes, she is a legitimate princess. When the news is passed back to the court, it will be a great joyous event." Emei said.
"Yes, the legitimate little princess of Dayi, the little princess of Chaoguo. My little baby is the most noble girl." said the queen.
"In another year or two, if you give birth to another little prince, everything will be complete." Emei said.
"Let it be." The queen said indifferently.
She was born in the palace, and her brother died in the harem fighting. After seeing so much, how could she not be afraid? So she gave birth to a daughter, disappointed, but not disappointed. A daughter, at least, can grow up safely.
