Chapter 642 Pretending to be Sick
"Why don't you lean on the couch and rest for a while, and then eat on the couch? Your stomach really can't stand being hungry." Chi Su said.
Shen Chuliu sighed: "Well, then you get ready, I'll lie down for a while."
Shen Chuliu said helplessly.
Shen Chuliu didn't get up for a long time, but was eventually helped to sit up and eat.
In the afternoon, I felt very weak, so I called Doctor Zhao to see me. He just said that I was just tired and it was nothing serious.
Just rest for two people.
No matter how much I don't want to admit it, I know that I am now a porcelain doll.
Shen Chuliu didn't expect the emperor to come today, so she was quite surprised when she saw the emperor.
The emperor looked at her and smiled: "Are you feeling unwell again?"
"Yes, I am not in good health now." Shen Chuliu smiled bitterly.
"What are you talking about? Just take care of yourself if you are sick. You will get better slowly." Qi Yixiu sat down and asked, "Which girl did you take a fancy to today?"
"I think the girl from the Cui family is pretty good, but Yan'er is still undecided." Shen Chuliu said.
"Well, that's a good child, but she's still a little short of being the Crown Princess." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu just looked at the emperor in silence.
The emperor turned around and saw her eyes, shook his head, and reached out to touch her face: "Next year, I will issue an edict to make Yan'er the crown prince."
"Has the emperor decided?" Shen Chuliu's heart was actually very calm at this moment...
"Yan'er is good." Qi Yixiu thought, having several princes is good, but if he doesn't decide on a crown prince quickly, there will be countless fights.
not good.
He doesn't want his children to fight to the death.
It’s better to decide it early so that there won’t be so many troubles in the future.
“In terms of family background, the Pei family’s children are qualified enough. But it’s not easy to be a Crown Princess, and it’s even harder to be a Queen.” Qi Yixiu said.
"Then let Your Majesty choose." Shen Chuliu said.
"I haven't decided yet, but if you think Cui is a good woman, she can be the prince's concubine."
"She is a legitimate daughter, I'm afraid she won't be willing." Shen Chuliu smiled.
"The Crown Prince's Consort, she looks down on her? Haha, just a Cui." Qi Yixiu said disdainfully.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Okay, I said it wrong."
Shen Chuliu slept for the whole afternoon and felt a little stronger, so he ate a little more for dinner than he did at noon.
The emperor stayed overnight again.
The next day, the Sixth Prince was called to the Taiji Palace.
"Father is going to choose a suitable person for you. According to you, whose daughter do you want?"
"Ah? Isn't it too early?" The Sixth Prince was at a loss.
"The girl from the Pei family is favored by your mother. She has good character and a high family background. Although the Shen family doesn't have anyone of the right age right now, there's no rush. There will be one in a few years. Cui's status is not high enough to be your legal wife. If Rongning is interested in you, she can only be your concubine. She can't be your legal wife."
"Ah?" The Sixth Prince was even more confused.
"There are many outstanding ladies among the ministers in the court, and I will listen to your opinion." Qi Yixiu said.
"Your Majesty...your son...how can I be so free in such a matter as marriage?" The Sixth Prince was completely at a loss.
He had thought about it a long time ago that the position of the legitimate wife must be decided by his father himself.
He has no problem with that.
"Of course it's not up to you, but I will listen to your opinion. If you really don't like it, I won't force you." Qi Yixiu said.
The Sixth Prince scratched his head: "But I don't know either."
"You, just like your mother said, you haven't figured it out yet." Qi Yixiu laughed: "Then go back and figure it out slowly, there's no rush. Study hard, I'll test you anytime."
"Yes, father. I'll take my leave then." The Sixth Prince said with a chuckle.
When I returned to Hongwen Hall, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince just came over to study.
He asked, "Did the emperor summon you? Sixth brother is really favored and he summons you often." The fourth prince said jokingly.
He actually wanted to know why his father asked his sixth brother to do something.
But you can't ask this question.
"Haha, Fourth Brother, I can't say that it's a good thing that the Emperor is looking for me." The Sixth Prince deliberately smiled and patted the Fourth Prince on the shoulder twice: "Go, go, go. Studying is more important."
The fourth prince smiled, but his smile looked stiff no matter how he looked at it.
In the past few months, the sixth brother has become more and more favored, and the emperor often even speaks to him without any airs.
He is also very comfortable...
The Sixth Prince was extremely anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he could not do anything.
The Ninth Prince, who had been ill for a long time, finally appeared in Hongwen Hall.
He has completely lost interest in studying now. Although he is smart, he doesn't like reading...
In the past, his mother had given him all kinds of advice and instructions, but now that his mother was gone, what else was there for him to work hard for? He could no longer be the crown prince.
In his heart, he hated the Sixth Prince, Concubine Jingxian, the Queen, and the Emperor.
He even hated Empress Dowager Li.
They joined forces and killed his mother.
So after recovering from his illness, the Ninth Prince was no longer the scheming and arrogant prince of the past.
Now he has become gloomy and quiet, making people feel uncomfortable just looking at him.
No one was close to him.
The Sixth Prince was also angry when he saw him. If it wasn't for his mother's suicide, how could his mother be so sick?
He still hates it in his heart.
I know it has nothing to do with the Ninth Prince, but forget about getting along with him. We will never get along well in this life.
The princes all understood that the princes who knew they had no chance, such as the Tenth Prince, played with the Sixth Prince without any burden, and naturally with a sense of trying to please him.
The third prince also received Liu's message, and he had no choice but to abandon the reluctance in his heart.
As an older brother, he can't cling to his younger brother, but after letting go of those obsessions, he feels that the world has become wider.
It doesn’t matter who will be the crown prince in the future.
The most anxious ones were the second prince and the fourth prince.
The fifth prince is better.
When winter came that year, Shen Chuliu was completely unable to go out.
She caught a cold when she was caught cold, but luckily she didn't have a fever this time.
This scared everyone in the room, and the emperor directly ordered her not to go out.
The Queen also sent word that there was no need to pay respects recently.
So Shen Chuliu began to hibernate with peace of mind.
There is nothing lonely about it. She has been painting a lot recently. She paints for a while every day, so she doesn't feel tired.
Many Miss Yang came and chattered, so she wasn't lonely.
The emperor still came every now and then, sometimes to exercise, and sometimes just to talk and eat with her.
Life is very comfortable.
This winter, no one has emerged as a rising star.
There are still only a few who are favored.
Princess Reed tried her best but failed to support Maybelline.
However, after He Yu Nu served the emperor several times, she was promoted from a royal maid to a Xiaoyi and moved to Bailu Pavilion.
However, even though she was promoted, the emperor did not favor her much.
It's just slightly better than the others.
After all, this is the first one to be promoted.
The emperor asked Shen Chuliu to play chess again. Shen Chuliu's head was as big as a bucket, so he had to pretend to be sick and said he was not feeling well.
Qi Yixiu frowned and called the imperial physician.
