Chapter 619: The Self-Torture Scheme
The emperor has never been one to suffer hardships.
As expected, the emperor had no intention of visiting Mei Xiuyi.
This matter is entirely left to the Queen to deal with.
Since it is an accident, treat it as an accident.
Concubine Yi was of a lower rank, so naturally she would be punished for offending someone of a higher rank, but the punishment was only a painless three months' salary.
Mei Xiuyi injured her forehead, it wasn't serious but she would be injured for about a month.
"If you're in a hurry, you'll make mistakes. She walked too fast." In Jiyunxuan, Yeon So-won was feeding the fish.
She picked up the fish food between her white jade fingers and dropped them into the fish tank one by one.
Looking at the fish below scrambling for food, he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Master is right. Mei Xiuyi is anxious. The emperor has seen everything she has done during this period. I'm afraid he already has an idea in his mind." Mu Yu said.
"So, what's the point of walking in front?" Yeon So Won smiled.
I simply threw all the fish food in my hand into the pot, and now all the fish were fed.
"Since she is willing to put in such effort, let's help her. Since she doesn't want the appearance anymore, it's unnecessary."
"Yes." Mu Yu responded and went out.
Mu He stepped forward and helped her wash her hands: "Mei Xiuyi is no longer possible. In the future, no one will compete with you."
What she was talking about was naturally the young concubines.
Yan Zhaoyuan touched her belly, her face calm, "I don't know what will happen in the future, at least, I don't want to live in Cheng'an Temple."
If the concubines in the harem have no children and there is no special decree, they will have to go to Cheng'an Temple in the future.
It’s called retirement care, but who doesn’t know the pain involved?
So she could only go up. The higher she climbed, the more stable she would be.
When she was not pregnant before, she was thinking about how to get pregnant. Now that she is pregnant, she also wants to think about how to give birth.
In the future, maybe you will ask for other things. Isn't this how human desires expand step by step?
"I knew from the beginning that she was more ambitious than me. We entered the palace at the same time, and she regarded me as her enemy." Yeon So-won stopped talking.
But Mu He knew clearly that what she wanted to say was, why don't I do it myself first.
Indeed, she was successful.
Such an incident seemed like a big deal, but it passed by silently.
The emperor didn't seem to care at all.
Mei Xiuyi herself was also extremely disappointed.
The emperor spent obviously more time on state affairs, and he really began to seriously decide on the candidate for crown prince.
So, when he went on a northern tour this year, he took the princes with him again.
He left in the second half of April and would not be back until June or July.
Before leaving, Shen Chuliu had dinner with the Sixth Prince and did not tell him anything.
The Sixth Prince said to himself, "Mother, don't worry about me. I know I'm going to be more honest now."
"Well, go ahead and take care of yourself." Shen Chuliu patted his head.
The Sixth Prince hugged his mother tightly and then ran out.
He will set off early tomorrow morning and his mother won't need to see him off.
At nightfall the emperor arrived.
Shen Chuliu was surprised for a moment.
This time the emperor went out without any concubines, which showed that he was concentrating on observing the abilities of the princes.
This time he didn't go to the Queen, but came here...
Well, there is no rule that you have to visit the Queen the day before you leave, so it would be fine if you come on the first day after you come back.
After serving the emperor dinner, Shen Chuliu said that the Sixth Prince would leave tomorrow without her seeing him off.
"Yan'er is grown up now, so it's better not to send him off." Qi Yixiu said, "You don't have to worry. I'm with you this time. It will be difficult for him to get into trouble."
"I'm not worried. Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself when you go out. Don't just be busy." Shen Chuliu poured him tea.
Qi Yixiu watched her busying around and smiled: "Of course I know."
Shen Chuliu saw that he seemed to have nothing to say when he spoke, so she handed the tea to him without asking any questions.
I just sat on the other side and drank tea.
After taking a few sips, the emperor said, "The prince can be appointed as the crown prince after he turns ten. Now, these few are all thirteen."
Shen Chuliu hummed: "The emperor wants to appoint a crown prince. This concubine knows."
"Well, that's good to know." Qi Yixiu said this again and changed the subject.
"I won't take you out this time, but I'll take you next year if you want to go."
Shen Chuliu nodded: "There will be more opportunities in the future."
Qi Yixiu looked at her deeply for a few times, smiled, and said nothing. The two of them just drank tea quietly.
At night, the emperor did nothing but hold her in his arms and sleep.
When the emperor woke up in the morning, he saw her kneeling on the couch arranging his clothes, and said, "I will be back in a while."
"Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself outside. If you don't bring anyone with you, just ask Chusi and the others to do their best."
"Yeah." Qi Yixiu just lowered his head to look at her soft hair and said nothing in the end.
When he went out, the emperor wondered, is Yan'er suitable to be the crown prince?
He was not sure about this, but one thing was certain.
He really liked the kid.
During these months, the boy's insights into all the copied documents and papers he had sent to him satisfied him.
Although, many times it is childish and taken for granted, that is the youthful spirit.
However, he was also thirteen years old.
I have to say, this kid is even more capable than when he was thirteen years old.
Qi Yixiu objectively and rationally distanced himself from the situation to analyze the child.
He thought that his thirteen years old could not be compared with Yan'er's.
Because he had a difficult life since childhood, he was repeatedly assassinated, his father did not like him, and his mother could not protect him.
But Yan'er is different.
Although he had been victimized, it was not that terrible after all.
Qi Yixiu thought that he had loved Qi Yan since childhood.
And Yan'er's mother was even more powerful and always protected him.
She was never a mother who asked him to endure everything, such as when Yan'er fell into the water when he was six years old.
His mother was definitely not the kind of mother who would cry and wait for sympathy when her child suffered. Instead, she took action to avenge him.
Tell this emperor where her bottom line is.
He also told Yan'er how good her mother was to him.
Therefore, Yan'er grew up unrestrained, proud and confident.
But at the same time, he knows how to be humble and learn.
What's even more adorable is that he never obeyed everything just because he was the emperor. He would ask if he didn't understand, and explain if he didn't understand.
When he did something wrong, he would never admit it outwardly but feel unconvinced inwardly. Instead, if he felt unconvinced, he would speak out and ask for an answer.
Yaner, you’re really good.
Qi Yixiu knocked lightly on the imperial sedan chair without saying a word.
Chusi couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking. The emperor showed no intention of stopping, so he could only pretend not to see it.
How could Chusi know that what the emperor was thinking about was the future of the Dayi Dynasty.
Which prince can become the crown prince is really a big deal.
Perhaps, it directly affected the future direction of the Dayi Dynasty.
As an emperor, he dared not take such a major event lightly.
