Chapter 667: Settled
This is just right. Shen Chuliu is worried that the emperor will get excited and directly arrange for Taiji Palace or something.
Then it's over.
The queen is still alive and well, so we should give her some basic respect.
It happened to be the imperial concubine's birthday, so the concubines could also come and attend, which was a chance for them to see the world.
But after all, there are about two hundred people, so not all of them can come. Only some of them can come.
Today is very lively, and the Shen family and the Pei family are naturally here.
All the qualified people in the court entered the palace, and among the royal family, as long as they had no problems, no one dared not to come.
Among them, there were quite a few who looked down on Shen Chuliu in the past, but unfortunately they no longer dare to do so now.
After all, Shen Chuliu was not well yet and could not drink a drop of alcohol, so when others toasted her, she could only drink rose water.
Still hot...
The emperor's birthday gift this year was much more plain.
A whole set of jewelry was given directly.
Oh, pure gold.
Red gold silk inlaid with rubies, it sounds like that, but in this case, the silk is hard to come by.
Secondly, you have never seen such exquisite craftsmanship.
The patterns on it are lifelike, and the petals that are pulled out are all movable.
This is a flower crown, as well as a pair of hairpins, a pair of hairpins, earrings, and a pair of silk bracelets inlaid with gemstones.
The most valuable item is a necklace.
Shen Chuliu fell in love with the ruby inlaid in the middle at first sight.
Nowadays, rubies are not cut, so they are very rare.
Because it cannot be used if there is even a slight crack, you can only choose smooth polishing.
To polish it to the point where it can transmit light and reflect light, the material must be good first.
The piece on the necklace was the size of a walnut, glowing like red wine refracted by sunlight, and there were no cracks on it.
The surrounding is decorated with a circle of white crystal stones, which is a rare craftsmanship. They are all hooked with gold wire and will not fall off.
There are tassels made of broken rubies below.
The whole necklace is very delicate and gorgeous.
As expected, Shen Chuliu fell in love with him at first sight.
Qi Yixiu smiled and put it on her personally, and also replaced the two hairpins on her head.
Shen Chuliu thanked him, thinking that this year's "plain and simple" attitude might make people hate her.
The ladies who could come here were all very envious.
To be honest, although the Queen is the Queen, she has no children. Concubine Jing is the real winner in life in the eyes of young girls today.
That day, the party lasted until late at night. Shen Chuliu didn't drink a sip of wine, but the emperor drank a lot.
Even the prince drank too much...
Returning to Yufu Palace, there was naturally a lot of trouble.
Shen Chuliu was so annoyed that she lost her temper. She had to make the emperor happy.
So the greeting the next morning had to be cancelled.
Fortunately, the beauties had to slowly get familiar with the palace after entering it, and they were not officially examined until the sixth day.
What's more, the selection of concubines in the Dayi Dynasty was lenient and the review was not very strict.
On the sixth day, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, and the nine concubines and above were all qualified to watch.
Half of them were decided in one day, and the other half left the palace and got married.
In the evening, the emperor came to Yufu Palace again and asked directly: "My beloved concubine, what do you think of Ye?"
Shen Chuliu looked at the emperor for a few times and thought to himself, okay, I know you are satisfied with Ye.
It just so happens that Qi Yan didn’t say anything bad, which means he is satisfied with it.
"good."
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "You seem reluctant. I also asked Yan'er, and he agreed."
"I'm not reluctant, it just doesn't seem real. Yan'er is getting engaged. It's happening so fast." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu smiled again: "As for Cui, I want her to be Yan'er's concubine."
"That's fine, but the Cui family's status is not low either. Will this cause dissatisfaction in the Cui family?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"Of course not." Qi Yixiu smiled: "However, Yan'er is still young, so it's just a decision. I'll just listen to you and ask someone to come into the mansion next year. After the New Year, give him two Chenghui first."
"Well, we all obey the emperor." Shen Chuliu said.
"Do you have a choice for the girl from the Pei family? According to my opinion, it is not appropriate to ask her to be Yan'er's concubine. The three generations of the Pei family have been capable officials, so there is no need for their daughter to enter the palace."
Entering the palace was actually a bit boring.
"I'll ask later. If there's a family I like, the emperor will grant the marriage." Shen Chuliu said.
Naturally, Shen Jun also entered the palace for the selection.
After these were agreed upon, the emperor issued an edict about ten days later, and Ye officially received the imperial edict to marry the prince. The wedding would take place in the East Palace next year.
The imperial edict entered the Qunfang Palace, and Ye was not too surprised. Amid the envious or jealous looks of others, she took the edict and expressed her gratitude.
The second one is that Cui will be bestowed with the title of Consort Liang by the Crown Prince, and the wedding will also take place next year, right after the Crown Princess.
Cui was slightly disappointed, but not too disappointed. She accepted the order and thanked the emperor.
There were also two more ladies, Liu and Meng, who were specially granted the title of Crown Prince Chenghui and entered the Eastern Palace a year later.
The two girls were happy. Since they were not from high-class families, they naturally did not have to dream of becoming the Crown Princess or the Concubine Yang.
It is great to have a successor.
So naturally happy.
Today I am the prince's concubine, and tomorrow I will be a concubine in the palace. Seeing the grand celebration of Concubine Jing's birthday, who wouldn't dream of having that day too?
The imperial edict also granted the marriage of Concubine Li De's family, the daughter of Duke Qi of Qi, to the Fourth Prince's wife. The marriage will also be held next year.
There were also two concubines, Liu and Xu, who entered the mansion after the new year.
He also granted Han, the eldest daughter of the governor of Dianzhou, to be the fifth prince's consort.
The two concubines were Li and He.
Next up, there are arranged marriages among the royal family. Among the princes, the Eighth Prince is not yet of age.
After the imperial edicts were passed on, half of the girls in the Qunfang Palace left.
Pei Jun never received his imperial edict, and he felt a little upset but also a little relieved.
If she wasn't the crown prince, she wouldn't be so eager to join the royal family.
Among the remaining concubines, four remained in the harem.
They were all given the title of Baolin.
The rest of them left the palace and got married.
However, the net worth of this batch of people who are getting married is better than that of the previous batch.
Shen Chuliu asked someone to call Pei Jun to Yufu Palace, leaving only Zhemei behind.
"Aunt, do you have anything to say to me?" Pei Jun asked.
"Well, I'm sorry for you. You've been waiting for nothing these years." Shen Chuliu said.
"How could that be? It's my blessing that my aunt likes me. It's just... we're not destined to be together." Pei Jun said embarrassedly.
"It was my aunt who didn't insist." Shen Chuliu pulled her to sit down: "If my aunt had insisted, the position of Crown Princess would be yours today, but my aunt feels that you are not someone who only cares about power. My aunt likes you, so I hope you can live a better life."
Pei Jun nodded, but asked: "Isn't it good to be the Crown Princess?"
"Okay, but the Crown Princess will become the Queen. How about being the Queen?" Shen Chuliu asked back.
Pei Jun shook his head for a long time.
"Your personality is best for a queen. You are calm and generous. But that's good for others, not for you." Shen Chuliu sighed.
Then he thought, Qi Yan had no feelings for Pei Jun at all. Even if it was because she was a daughter of the Pei family, what would be wrong with marrying her and treating her well for the rest of his life?
