Chapter 663 Rumors
"My dad has wrinkles." Qi Yan said in a low voice.
"That's called the accumulation of years. Go away, little brat." Shen Chuliu patted her.
Qi Yan was so happy that he fell on the couch hahaha.
"By the way, mother, I heard two things. It was said that the concubine that my second brother favored in the backyard killed the child of another concubine. I didn't want to find out about this. I heard it from the maids." Qi Yan said.
"Hmm? Tsk." Shen Chuliu, who had just washed his face, came over and said, "Luckily your second brother is a prince. If he were an emperor..."
Shen Chuliu didn't say it, but if he became an emperor, he would probably be the same as the previous emperor.
The harem was in chaos and many children died.
"Yeah, actually, second sister-in-law is such a nice and smart person. I think second sister-in-law looks down on second brother. If she wanted to clean it up, second brother's backyard wouldn't be so messy." Qi Yan said.
Shen Chuliu looked at him in surprise: "Not bad, kid, you are quite good at judging people."
Qi Yan rolled his eyes at his mother and said, "Is that really the case?"
"Yes, Li is smart, what a pity." Shen Chuliu said.
"Third brother and his wife are still doing well."
After thinking about the Third Prince's wife, Shen Chuliu did not express his opinion, mainly because he did not understand.
But it seems that the Third Prince is the type who does not like to fight with the world. He is a little timid and gentle. Such a couple will not be bad as long as they live a peaceful life.
It is impossible to just think about achieving something.
"The Empress Dowager is not in good health. You must remember to visit her often." Shen Chuliu was afraid that the child would not like to go because he was not close to her.
Being close or not is one thing, going or not is another.
Although the child had suffered some suffering when he was young due to Empress Dowager Li's partiality, in the final analysis, Empress Dowager Li did not do anything to him.
"Yeah, I know. Mom, please don't go out too much. I'm here. It's easy for you to catch a cold in winter." Qi Yan said while eating snacks.
His stomach is now a bottomless pit.
Three meals a day are essential, and you should also have some snacks in the morning and afternoon.
If Shen Chuliu hadn't said that midnight snacks were not good, he would have wanted to get up in the middle of the night to eat one.
Growing boys are really hungry anytime and anywhere.
That is why snacks are now served in the Hongwen Hall in the morning.
This group of teenagers can eat a lot.
The pastry chef in the imperial kitchen is the busiest.
In just a short while, Qi Yan kept eating and finished several plates of snacks.
Even so, he won't eat less during the meal.
Shen Chuliu didn't care about him anymore and now she gave him a cup of milk every day for him to drink at night.
Qi Yan always disliked it, saying that it was for girls to drink, but with Shen Chuliu's words, he dared not refuse to drink it.
Shen Chuliu also urged the kitchen to tell him to eat more fish and shrimp, which can supplement calcium.
Otherwise he will not grow taller and will not have enough calcium.
But the child did not waste the food. He grew a lot in half a year and is now half a head taller than Shen Chuliu.
With his current growth rate, he will definitely be able to catch up with his father.
Qi Yixiu is about 1.8687 meters tall.
This kid definitely won't lose.
The main reason is that the men in the Shen family are not short.
Qi Yan finished his snacks, washed his hands contentedly, and asked, "Are you not going to serve the meal yet?"
Shen Chuliu...
Yes, I understand that you need food to grow, but you just finished four plates of food!
However, Qi Yan looked at his mother innocently, just like a little kid waiting to eat.
"Serve the meal." Shen Chuliu had no choice but to wave his hand.
When eating, Qi Yan was still very fast, but he also maintained etiquette.
Shen Chuliu has a small appetite, so he didn't eat much and started drinking soup.
Qi Yan ate three bowls of rice and two fried cakes, not to mention the other dishes.
At least half a chicken was dry.
There were also two small bowls of soup.
It was not until he drank the soup that he finally showed signs of satisfaction.
Shen Chuliu looked at him deeply and said, "My son, you are lucky to be a prince. If you were born in a poor family, you would have eaten up all the family wealth."
Qi Yan didn't say until he washed his hands and wiped his mouth: "That can't be possible. If I was born in a poor family, I would not have enough to eat since I was a child, and I would not have this appetite."
"Mom, let me tell you, I'm not the one who eats the most. My fifth brother eats the most."
Shen Chuliu nodded speechlessly and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense."
After lunch, the hardworking Crown Prince went back to work. Shen Chuliu had nothing to do again, so he simply went to sleep.
It’s never too much. It’s comfortable to lie down when you can’t sleep.
It was not long before the Chinese New Year, but Empress Dowager Li was still ill for a while, and the same was true for the Thirteenth Prince.
The situation in the harem was also tense.
It was almost the end of the year and the emperor had no time to go to the harem.
At this critical juncture, a palace maid who had just left Changle Palace suddenly brought out a piece of news.
She said that she actually secretly saw how Sun Gengyi died.
The Changle Palace is now under renovation, and those palace maids and eunuchs who could not follow Mei Xiuyi have temporarily left.
This is one of them.
She described in vivid detail that Sun Gengyi was forced to drink alcohol to death.
"It's a big jar, even a grown man can't hold it. Sun Gengyi doesn't usually drink."
This girl is so silly. Someone reminded her of it before, but she didn't say it. Now that she has broken up with that person, she has lost control of her mouth.
Man does it, God is watching, after all, it’s just one life.
These words reached the ears of the Queen, who took the maid to Fengzao Palace and said, "You know how serious this matter is. If you are talking nonsense, you will die. Your family members will not be spared either."
The maid was so scared that she trembled and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am not talking nonsense. I saw it. I really saw it. Also, Sun Gengyi and Zhenzhu did not quarrel. Not at all. Sun Gengyi dared not offend the people of Majesty Mei Xiuyi. It is impossible for her to quarrel."
Zhenzhu was the palace maid who committed suicide after Sun Gengyi's death.
The queen took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, you should just do your work here first and don't go out. We can talk about these things later."
The maid hurriedly thanked the queen and left happily.
Being able to serve in Fengzao Palace is naturally a good thing!
"Go to Taiji Palace." The queen stood up.
After the maids helped her change her clothes, they took her to the Taiji Palace.
The emperor nodded after hearing her intention and said, "That's good. The New Year is coming soon. Let's talk about it after the New Year."
In fact, the emperor knew in his heart that Mei Xiuyi was definitely not wronged.
"Before, we let this matter go for the sake of the Seventh Princess and the Thirteenth Prince. But now, from what this girl said, I'm afraid there are many precedents. Concubine Yi and Mei Xiuyi are already sworn enemies. Concubine Yi's miscarriage must have something to do with Mei Xiuyi." The Queen analyzed: "This Mei Xiuyi is so capable, I don't know what else she has done."
The emperor hummed and said, "No matter what, we'll investigate it after the New Year. My mother is ill in the palace and can't stand the trouble. Let's keep it under control for now."
The queen agreed and went back to prepare.
First, suppress the rumors so that people will think the matter is over.
