Chapter 640 Which girl
Who dares to be rude? This girl might be the future mother of the crown prince.
That is actually more honorable than the queen.
Just look at the current Empress Dowager Li and you will know.
Shen Chuliu waved her hands: "Oh, today really opened my eyes. Looking at these young girls and young men, I realized that I am getting old."
"Look at what your Majesty is saying. If someone who doesn't know you looks at your Majesty, although I dare not say you are 28 years old, you are at least 20 years old. How can you dare say you are old?" A family member of an official said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu followed with a smile: "Hey, I'm really happy when you say that. People always want others to say they are young."
Everyone laughed when she made this joke.
Soon, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother arrived, and everyone paid their respects again.
The emperor also arrived early and told everyone not to be polite, as it was just a flower-viewing banquet and he had come only because he had nothing to do.
In fact, everyone below knew that this was not a case of having nothing to do. The emperor attached great importance to this and came here specially.
It also implies that the girls in the family must behave well.
Naturally, the girls who were interested in this carefully showed off their strengths.
Not all girls want to enter the palace, but if she is the Crown Princess, they will still flock to her.
Shen Chuliu looked at these girls, and then at a little girl not far away who was wearing a sky blue skirt. She was about twelve or thirteen years old, had a pretty smile, and had a good-looking, dignified and elegant appearance.
But she didn't know him.
"Whose girl is that?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Zhemei and the others couldn't answer at the moment and could only ask in private.
"No wonder I didn't know. This is the third daughter of the Cui family in Chizhou. She came to the imperial city to visit relatives and happened to come in when this happened." Zhemei told what she had inquired.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Is it the Cui family?"
She knew the Cui family, which was considered a noble family. In fact, the emperors of recent generations had also suppressed the noble families, but some of them were still very powerful.
The Cui family is one of them.
After several generations of ups and downs, although it is not as powerful as before, it still has a very high status.
The main reason is that the Cui family produces many literati, but they are not the kind of practical people like the Pei family.
But he is best at writing historical records and other things.
Even now the etiquette officer in the imperial palace is from the Cui family.
"He looks like a dignified and sophisticated child." Shen Chuliu said.
Several people who picked plum blossoms responded.
When she observed, she naturally observed a lot.
This also includes Princess Reed.
Of course, Princess Reed has been very anxious recently, extremely anxious.
I was so anxious that my mouth was full of blisters.
The main thing is that the emperor said that he would go to worship Mount Tai next year, but he didn't say who he would bring with him.
There is no need to say much about the weight of this Mount Tai.
But the emperor has been to Yufu Palace quite often recently.
Since she couldn't wait for the emperor here, she naturally had a bad feeling in her heart, although she didn't mind fighting for her child.
But how could she dare to do that, with the example of Zhen Chongyi? If her two children won, it would be fine, but what if they lost? Moreover, even if she schemed against Concubine Jingxian, what about the Sixth Prince? Could she still scheme against both of them?
So she didn't dare to move her hand.
The Queen is holding a banquet today, and she knows why. She is now hoping to choose a suitable person for the Fourth Prince.
What if the emperor hasn’t made up his mind yet?
If the Fourth Prince's marriage is chosen well, it might be useful.
But she either looked down upon or dared not get involved with these things in the imperial city. It just so happened that the legitimate daughter of the Cui family caught her attention.
In fact, she wanted Pei's legitimate daughter more, but unfortunately...
She was afraid that Shen Chuliu liked it more, so she had no intention of snatching it away.
At the same time, the queen also had a good impression of the Cui family's eldest daughter, but she had no son, so she naturally didn't care about this.
The Queen Mother didn't want to get involved anymore. It was better not to get involved in such matters.
The girls also had to perform some talents, but the atmosphere was very good, as if they were competing with each other rather than being watched.
But this is not the topic. After a while, the queen waved her hand and told the children to go and play by themselves.
The emperor then left.
The princes, princesses and a group of children played by the Luming Lake.
Everyone actually knew what was going on, so they just looked at it openly.
A pretty girl came over to talk to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan didn't know her, but she was quite easy to talk to.
After the girl walked away, he asked, "Yulou, who's this?"
Yu Lou mentioned a name, and Qi Yan sneered: "He's not very good at being an official, but he's good at currying favor."
Yulou smiled.
Not long after, a little palace maid came up to the Fourth Prince and whispered a few words in his ear.
Qi Yan watched for a while and saw the Fourth Prince going towards the Cui family's eldest daughter.
He gave a wicked smile and followed.
As soon as the Fourth Prince stood in front of Cui, he saw Qi Yan coming.
I felt terrible all of a sudden, but I still had to smile.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince and Your Highness the Sixth Prince." Cui... Cui Min bowed.
"No need to be so polite. I have come in to pay my respects quite a few times today. Now that we are touring the garden, we should pay our respects every time we meet someone." The Fourth Prince said with a smile.
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness the Fourth Prince." Cui Min smiled.
The Sixth Prince always looked at Cui Min with a smile, which was quite generous.
"I wonder if this is Miss Cui's first time back in the imperial city?" asked the Fourth Prince.
"Your Highness, this is not my first time. My mother married far away in Chizhou, and my maternal grandparents live in the imperial city. So I only come here once every two years. But this is my first time entering the palace." Cui Min said.
"This is your first time in the palace, but you seem quite calm." The Sixth Prince said with a smile.
"The Emperor and His Majesty are both kind people. I am not afraid of them. However, due to the majesty of the royal family, I dare not say a wrong word." Cui Min said again.
The Fourth Prince wanted to show his goodwill, but he was a prince after all, so he wouldn't do anything too much.
Qi Yan found it boring just by looking at it, so he said something and left.
Cui Min was also a smart person. She knew that it was not good to be alone with the Fourth Prince for a long time, not because of his reputation.
In fact, if she had been favored by the Fourth Prince, not only would her reputation not be damaged, but it would also be beneficial to her marriage in the future.
It shows that she is outstanding, which is why the prince of the royal family noticed her.
But she didn't want to get involved in royal affairs, so she tried to avoid it.
The Fourth Prince saw it, and he became colder and walked away.
What happened here naturally could not be hidden from the Queen and others.
Is this interesting to Princess Reed?
But it's useless. Even if the emperor doesn't like it, the marriages of the princes cannot be decided by the women in the harem alone.
What's more, Concubine Li De has fallen into a low position. No matter what, she can't let the Fourth Prince lose face.
In the end, Shen Chuliu was unable to sustain the entire flower-viewing banquet.
I couldn't sit still at noon.
Not daring to delay, he quickly stood up and told the Empress Dowager.
As it happened, the Queen Mother couldn't hold on any longer.
So the two of them just left the scene together.
Shen Chuliu returned to Yufu Palace, changed clothes, washed up, and lay down.
Although lunch hadn't been served yet, her waist was already sore: "I'll lie down for a while, let's have lunch later."
