Chapter 647 Birthday
"Go and prepare lunch. I have been eating light meals recently. Today my third sister is here, so let me have some good food." Shen Chuliu said.
Shen Biqiong agreed with a smile.
Not long after, the Sixth Prince also came back, and he also called her aunt affectionately.
This made Shen Chuliu laugh.
This generation is a mess.
Prince Wei is the brother of the late emperor, and Qi Chuan is logically the emperor's cousin. According to Qi Yixiu's way of calling, the Sixth Prince is called Shen Biqiong, whose ancestor is his grandmother.
Even Shen Chuliu should call her aunt.
But she was too lazy to call her that, so she just called her Third Sister, so the Sixth Prince also called her Third Aunt.
After lunch and seeing the guests off, Shen Chuliu felt tired.
In the evening, she asked someone to invite the emperor.
The emperor hadn't been to the backyard for more than ten days, and had only asked Concubine Xue to sleep with him once.
When the emperor arrived, he asked, "Is dinner ready?"
Are you hungry? Shen Chuliu asked people to serve the meal quickly.
She had to personally help the emperor wash his hands, and the emperor would not allow her to move.
So I can only wait.
The emperor came out after washing: "What's the matter?"
"...Your Majesty's question has left me speechless. Of course, there is something going on, but it's not extremely urgent. Don't I miss you? You didn't allow me to go to Taiji Palace, and you didn't come. You asked you to come and still asked me this. It shows that I am old and ugly now, right?" Shen Chuliu spoke in rapid succession.
Qi Yixiu was stunned for a few seconds.
He was just asking casually.
If you really don't want to come, then don't come.
"My beloved concubine, are you feeling suffocated in your own palace? Come, drink some tea to calm yourself down, or you will choke yourself." Qi Yixiu teased.
Shen Chuliu chuckled and took a big sip of tea from the emperor's hand.
Alas, in her current condition, she can’t even be given tea.
Qi Yixiu knew that she was greedy, but he didn't care and let her drink half a cup.
Soon the meal was served and this minor issue was forgotten.
After eating, Shen Chuliu talked about this matter.
Qi Yixiu was also shocked: "Is this really the first time Qi Chuan and Xie have met?"
…
Shen Chuliu: Okay, this is really something that can easily be misunderstood.
"It should be. Xie has been married to the Yu family for several years. Naturally, she can't just meet a prince casually, right?" Shen Chuliu said.
That’s true.
"If that's the case, I'll issue an edict next year." Qi Yixiu didn't care.
After getting the accurate information, Qi Chuan sent someone to the Xie family to pass on the message the next day.
The Xie family was stunned.
What's going on? Master Xie looked at his daughter and said, "You and Prince Wei...really didn't know each other before?"
Xie: ...I am so wronged! The Prince's Mansion is not what it used to be. It is clean now and Prince has only two concubines.
She is young and promising, and the emperor also values her. This is an excellent marriage.
The Xie family had no reason to disagree, but Xie herself was a little nervous. After all, he was a prince, and he really had no grudges? Besides, she had a child, and although he was in the Qi family, he was still her sweetheart.
So, he simply wrote a letter himself and sent it to Prince Wei's palace, specifically mentioning this.
Qi Chuan wrote back personally, saying something like, "You'll naturally have to bring the child with you when you get married. Don't worry, if you don't want, the child will still have the surname Yu."
Of course, you can change it if you want.
This made Xie feel relieved.
But the next day she thought of another problem. She was one year older than King Wei...
This is such a headache.
So as they exchanged letters, the young couple really showed their affection for each other.
In the winter of the following year, Xie entered the Prince's Palace and was married to the palace in a grand manner, carried by eight people. Naturally, her son was also brought in and grew up in the Prince's Palace since he was a child.
However, Yu Chan still told everyone he met that the Xie family was good and that they were just not destined to be together.
Of course, this is a later story, so let’s not talk about it here.
Shen Chuliu continued to recuperate, as the Queen's birthday was approaching, which was the Laba Festival.
Since the palace celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Queen’s Spring and Autumn Festival should also be celebrated.
Preparations started early in the morning, and Shen Chuliu also asked people to prepare gifts.
When the day came, Fengzao Palace held a banquet with many people. The Queen Mother also showed up early to show respect.
It seems that the Queen Mother became much calmer after giving up those unrealistic things.
The second princess got married after the New Year. Now she is very reluctant to leave the queen and is busy running around without any rest.
There was no discrimination between men and women, and all the qualified ministers came to Fengzao Palace. Among them naturally was the second princess's future father-in-law and husband.
Han Yue said to his father, General Han: "Dad, look, isn't the second princess cute?"
General Han had seen it before, but he didn't dare to look closely. Now he looked closely and nodded slightly: "Different from your mother."
"They are different, but both are good. My son likes them." Han Yue said.
General Han thought vaguely that it would be great if his mother were still alive.
"That's good, let's live a good life from now on."
The second princess also saw Han Yue and winked at him.
Many people saw it and said that Han Yue was really good-looking and that was why the princess liked him so much.
Han Yue smiled back and touched the hairpin on his head with his hand.
That is a hairpin with a white jade auspicious cloud pattern, given by the second princess.
The second princess covered her mouth and went to the back embarrassedly.
General Han glared at him and said, "You useless guy, why did you ask the princess to give you something?"
"Hey, she is a princess. No matter how much I give her, it won't be as rich as her, right? Even if the princess gives me something, why shouldn't I accept it? Father, you can't look at it like that. The princess is of noble birth, we should acknowledge her. Even if she gave me a white jade hairpin, I gave her a wooden hairpin. You can't think too much about it." Han Yue said with a smile.
You have to admit that your wife is better than you.
There's nothing shameful about it.
What's the point of saving face?
Living a good life is the right thing to do.
"I will take the imperial examinations well and do something in the future, which will bring honor to the princess. These things don't count." Han Yue said with a smile.
General Han was speechless and snorted.
When the emperor arrived, everyone stood up and paid their respects.
The emperor waved his hand.
As soon as he arrived, he presented the empress with a set of gilded fans and a screen. The scene on the screen was peach blossoms, embroidered on both sides by the best embroiderer.
The frame is made of the finest huanghuali wood, the four corners are inlaid with gold, and the frame is embellished with white jade.
It is really exquisite and gorgeous, and it is mainly the embroidery and craftsmanship that are priceless.
The queen really liked it and immediately ordered it to be placed in the main hall.
Everyone also praised the emperor and the empress for their deep love.
The banquet began and it was very lively.
Everyone toasted, and Shen Chuliu, as the first concubine, naturally had to toast.
But she could only use water instead of wine.
She said auspicious words and presented the prepared gifts, which was a complete set of twelve porcelain paintings.
It is the scenery of Jiangnan, changing with the four seasons.
Three pictures for one season, very realistic.
The queen liked it very much too, and smiled as she asked someone to take it to her inner room.
The people who came after also gave good things.
The Queen accepted with a smile and politeness the rare pearls, gorgeous jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings, and even some strange things from overseas.
