Chapter 666: Big Deal
This kid is as skinny as a chicken.
"However, there is a lot of pollen in spring. The Thirteenth Prince is not afraid of this, right?" Generally speaking, children born with deficiencies in the womb are prone to low immunity and allergies.
"That's okay, the Imperial Concubine knows a lot. However, our Thirteenth Prince needs to get more sun. This is what the imperial physician said. It just so happens that the Empress Dowager has been sick for the entire winter, and the sun isn't too strong in February and March, so it's a good time to get some sun. It's also good to go out for a walk." Nanny Hua said with a smile.
"Ma'am, what you said makes sense. It is indeed a good thing to walk more." Whether it is a child or an old person.
Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "I will be leaving soon. You young people can go shopping."
Having said that, he took the Thirteenth Prince away.
Shen Chuliu bowed and saw him off respectfully.
As they walked away, Empress Dowager Li said, "The way Concubine Jing dresses now makes her look younger."
"Yeah, what's new when things remain the same for ten years? Now she has changed her appearance." Nanny Hua smiled.
"No young concubine can match her scheming and tactics. There is a reason why the emperor has doted on her for twenty years," said Empress Dowager Li.
Nanny Hua agreed and felt emotional.
If Zhen Chongyi had half of this ability, it wouldn't have ended like this.
"By the way, have you passed on my words? No one in the palace is allowed to mention Mei Xiuyi. What happened?" said the Queen Mother.
"It was reported that he died of an acute illness. The Thirteenth Prince is still young. Won't Your Majesty find a mother for him?" asked Nanny Hua.
"Let's look for him later. Now that he is like this, without me, who will take care of him? It's strange to say, but since Mei Xiuyi passed away, this child has been getting much better." Empress Dowager Li said as she looked at the child who was being picked flowers in front of a bush by the nurse.
Madam Hua nodded: "In this world, there are people who bring bad luck to their parents, and there are also people who bring bad luck to their children. Mei Xiuyi is unlucky, so it's possible that she will bring bad luck to her children."
Empress Dowager Li was pleased to hear this: "Yes, now that she is gone, the child should be fine."
Shen Chuliu also had to talk about the Thirteenth Prince.
"It seems better than during the Chinese New Year?" Yao Chongyuan asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, he's too thin and can barely eat a few bites." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
"Yes, this is because the Empress Dowager has taken good care of him. She said that he would get better after he turned three years old. Now he is over two years old," said Yao Chongyuan.
Shen Chuliu nodded, thinking that this child might not grow tall in the future.
It was almost noon when Shen Chuliu was invited by the emperor. Yao Chongyuan was too lazy to go back, so she went to find Concubine Yang.
Lady Yang has a good temper and they all like her.
Yao Chongyuan simply went to have dinner with Concubine Yang.
Shen Chuliu arrived at Taiji Palace and met several ministers.
The ministers greeted them politely. Shen Chuliu smiled and said no need to formality and left.
After leaving the palace, the minister was a little confused: "Is this Concubine Jing? She looks younger than she did during the Chinese New Year."
"Are you in a good mood?"
Shen Chuliu didn't quite know what the two ministers were talking about. After they entered, Qi Yixiu praised her, "You look really good dressed like this."
"I am just lazy and haven't dressed up properly. You know, I will be meeting the Emperor today, so I can't be so plain." Shen Chuliu said.
"Simplicity has its own beauty. My beloved concubine is also very good like this." Qi Yixiu smiled: "People are more beautiful than flowers."
Her complexion is much better than before.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "If the emperor says it's beautiful, then it must be beautiful."
Both of them laughed.
When Shen Chuliu talked about meeting the Queen Mother and the Thirteenth Prince, Qi Yixiu nodded.
Seeing that he didn't seem very interested, Shen Chuliu didn't mention it anymore.
She had discovered that the emperor didn't like to hear about the Thirteenth Prince. He also asked the imperial physician to be diligent, but he didn't seem to like hearing it.
In fact, Shen Chuliu could understand this point. A child like this might not be able to be raised, and the emperor was just trying to escape.
"For your birthday this year, I mean, we should celebrate it in a big way." Qi Yixiu suddenly said.
"Don't do that?" Shen Chuliu was stunned and disagreed: "Not to mention the hard work for everyone, my body can't support it. Let's celebrate our birthday in a few years." Shen Chuliu waved his hands quickly.
Last winter, the prince's birthday was celebrated on a grand scale.
There is no need to have hers any bigger this spring.
"You are a royal concubine, you deserve to celebrate your birthday well." The emperor disagreed.
"Then let's do it a few years later. This year can be the same as the previous ones. We can set up a table in the palace." Shen Chuliu said.
"Even if you don't want to celebrate your birthday, you should think about Yan'er. You are Yan'er's biological mother. What will people outside think if I don't give you a good birthday?" Qi Yixiu frowned.
Shen Chuliu shut up. Any more words would be ungrateful, but she really didn't want to.
Why……
So, being in a high position and having power is troublesome.
The emperor said so too.
She, the prince's biological mother, couldn't even celebrate her birthday well. Maybe people would say that the emperor dislikes the concubine.
She knocked her head on Qi Yixiu's sleeve and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
"When the time comes, we'll put on the show and it'll be a lively day. Won't we have both internal and external appearances?" Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Okay."
"You look listless and others can't wait to see you. You don't even want it when I give it to you." Qi Yixiu pushed her away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Let me repay you. I will not go back today." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu sneered. How dare she say that? Others would ask for such a good thing, but she had it the other way around.
However, Concubine Jing really did not go back.
The concubines in the harem are used to it. Normally, concubines would not stay overnight in the Taiji Palace.
Because he had his own palace, only those of low status would be sent to the Taiji Palace to sleep with him.
Since she became a beauty, Concubine Jing often stayed overnight in Taiji Palace.
Therefore, even though she was already a noble concubine, she often stayed overnight in Taiji Palace.
However, now when she goes from Taiji Palace to Fengzao Palace to pay her respects, no one will dare to gossip about her.
Everyone is still jealous, but no one will be jealous of her anymore.
People are like this. When things are almost done, they become jealous.
When there is a huge gap between you and someone, you will no longer be jealous, but will only envy or look up to them.
Shen Chuliu’s birthday is a big celebration, so naturally we have to start preparing now.
At that time, all officials above the fifth rank would be required to enter the palace for the banquet, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not dare to be negligent.
Shen Chuliu also asked the Clothing Bureau to make a few sets of clothes.
In fact, she really has no shortage of clothes, but at times like this, she still needs to make new clothes.
The emperor even specially sent two boxes of pearls and broken gems for her to use to make clothes and shoes.
At the same time, the beauties who were going to enter the palace for selection were also getting ready.
On the first day of March, the beauties lined up to enter the palace and lived in the Qunfang Hall.
On the second day of March, it was Concubine Jing's birthday, and the banquet was held in the Peony Garden and Wutong Palace.
These two places are right next to each other, just enough for some people to fit on one side.
It is also convenient for staging a show, as it is right in the middle.
