Chapter 624 Family Dinner
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "How is there a saying? Being too clever and calculating may end up costing your life?" Shen Chuliu was no longer sure where this saying came from.
Perhaps it was something she gained from her so-called vague past life.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
She thought that Mei Xiuyi's mistake required countless mistakes to cover it up, and the more she covered it up, the more wrong it became.
Back and forth, it's only going to get worse.
"People, if you want to do bad things, you have to be very strong. Otherwise, this will happen."
I'm afraid Mei Xiuyi didn't just harm Concubine Yi.
At least Sun Gengyi's death was unclear.
The Queen Mother called the Queen to Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother has been unwell these days, so she doesn't need anyone to take care of her, but the Queen still comes to see her every day.
In fact, the Queen would have come today even if she wasn't invited.
"Are you feeling better today, mother? I'm just coming over," said the queen.
"I'm not in the way." The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked her to sit down: "What's wrong with Mei Xiuyi? She has been causing chaos for the past two months."
Empress Dowager Li frowned. She was not a fool and could see that Mei Xiuyi was not a clean person.
"It's also my fault. I didn't manage the harem well." said the queen.
"It's not your fault. You don't know what's wrong with her." said Empress Dowager Li.
"All of these things are related to her, but there is no evidence. Now she is injured, and I have no choice but to ask her to move out first."
"Pass on my imperial decree, asking the Seventh Princess and the Thirteenth Prince to move to Ruiqing Palace first. Since Mei Xiuyi is ill, she should take good care of herself. I think she will be too frightened to take care of the children." said the Empress Dowager Li.
"Yes, but the Thirteenth Prince is still young, and in poor health..." The Queen also had to make things clear.
To put it bluntly, if we move to Ruiqing Palace, what will we do if the child is gone? "The child is very weak." Empress Dowager Li thought for a while and said, "How about this, bring him here to me and raise him for a few months. I can't hurt him."
The queen agreed.
The Queen Mother issued an order, and Mei Xiuyi naturally could not resist. She was shrouded in great fear, but she had no choice but to agree.
She didn't dare to disobey the order.
Soon, the seventh princess was sent to Ruiqing Palace, and the thirteenth prince was taken to Ci'an Palace.
Naturally, there is a place for the Thirteenth Prince to live in Ci'an Palace, and he is kept by the Empress Dowager. Telling others that this is even a compliment to the Thirteenth Prince.
Mei Xiuyi also moved out of Changle Palace. It seemed that she had completely fallen out of favor overnight.
She is still a cultivator, but she can't even raise a child.
The people in the harem now laughed at her just as they had been suppressed by her before.
Concubine Yi was so laughing that she burst into tears in the Yihe Palace.
Mei Xiuyi's wounds kept coming back and it was hard to heal. The weather was getting hot...
At the end of June, when the emperor brought the princes back to the capital, Mei Xiuyi's wound had just healed.
The wound area is now as large as half of the forehead.
It will be smaller in the future, but it will still be difficult to cover up.
She had her hair tied up in a bun that covered half of her forehead, but it was too revealing.
When everyone came to greet the emperor, she didn't dare to look up.
The emperor naturally already knew what was happening in the palace during this time.
He didn't say anything, but just took the princes, the queen, and concubines above the rank of beauties to pay a visit to the empress dowager.
When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard."
The emperor lifted his robe and knelt down: "Greetings, mother."
"What are you doing? Get up, all of you." The empress dowager supported the emperor and waved her hand to ask the princes to stand up.
"You must have had a hard time along the way. You all got tanned." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Several princes hurriedly said that it was okay and flattered the empress dowager.
After sitting down for a while, the Queen Mother said, "It's good to go out for a walk. Although you are tanned, you look stronger."
"Yes, these guys are not honest." The emperor laughed.
"Boys who are too honest are useless." Empress Dowager Li looked at them one by one and was also very happy.
They are all my own blood.
"Is mother's body completely recovered?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Okay, the Queen comes every day, and they visit me often, so I will get better soon." said Empress Dowager Li.
They refer to the concubines.
"It's all my duty." The emperor smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
"It's not hard. I am willing to honor my mother." The queen said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about these polite words and ask someone to prepare a banquet. It has been a long time since we had a family banquet together. The emperor has worked hard. Let's eat and drink well."
Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and asked someone to make arrangements.
Soon, a banquet was set up at the Queen Mother's place.
It was evening, and we finished eating around midnight, so it was the right time.
At the family dinner, Qi Yixiu was in a good mood.
Of course, after everyone sat down, Qi Yixiu quickly started talking to Shen Chuliu.
"The virtuous concubine is radiant today."
"Your Majesty has said this. When you come back, I will naturally dress up well." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
"My beloved concubine is dressed very well. I noticed it at first sight." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
"These colors suit Concubine Jingxian very well. Today, she is still short of a yellow flower." The Queen thought for a moment and said, "It would be even better if she could stick a flower or draw something between her eyebrows."
Shen Chuliu wore a double-knife bun today, a set of red gold jewelry, and an orange-red jacket and skirt.
Raised eyebrows, red lips and white teeth.
"I am anxious. Next time you must dress up well and not let your sisters outdo you." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
Zhen Chongyi suddenly said, "Your Highness Jingxianfei is naturally beautiful, but the young concubines are afraid of you. If you dress up again, what will they do?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in these words.
But, from her point of view, it's not right at all.
Zhen Chongyi has been in this position for more than ten years.
She had no personal relationship with Shen Chuliu, so Shen Chuliu naturally ignored her after she joked like that.
Just smiled perfunctorily.
There was an awkward silence in the hall.
But after all, there was the Queen Mother, so someone tried to smooth things over.
Concubine Ning said, "I don't envy anything else. The pendant on Concubine Jingxian's necklace must be newly made. Who made it? I'll ask someone to make it later."
"He is a man who just came into the Jinggong Workshop from outside. You can go look for him later." Shen Chuliu said politely.
Soon, things became lively again.
The princes also started laughing.
The only outsider present was Rong Ning, who was sitting with the second and third prince's wives.
Li spoke to the Third Prince's wife and also to Rong Ning without any embarrassment.
The eldest princess was not in good spirits, and the emperor saw it and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"In reply to your Majesty, I just didn't sleep well these days. It's no big deal." The eldest princess said hurriedly.
Qi Yixiu went to see the prince consort, who looked unhappy.
The eldest prince consort stood up quickly and said, "It is my fault that I did not take good care of the eldest princess."
"How long has it been like this?" asked the Queen.
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment: "My mother, it has been a month."
