Chapter 675
The manager hurriedly agreed.
For such a small matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can just act first and report later.
Sure enough, Qi Yan had no objection to this and just followed his lead.
The Queen just said that since they were going to live in the Eastern Palace, she would arrange for a few people to go there later.
The Queen's attitude towards the Eighth Prince is acceptance, but she does not pay too much attention to him.
After all, she is not my own child, and she is already so old, so it is impossible to be intimate with her.
However, the Queen took over all matters concerning the Eighth Prince. At least she would be in charge of the training of the servants.
Shen Chuliu had no objection. His son just needed a friend. It was no big deal.
However, after the emperor granted marriage to Pei Jun and He Feiyang, Shen Chuliu put some thought into arranging Pei Jun's dowry.
In fact, in terms of family affection, she and Pei Jun are not really close. Pei Jun is her cousin's child, which is not really that close.
But the same is true for the Shen family. Shen Chuliu's parents only gave birth to her, and her mother died when she was only eighteen years old.
Her father was older, but died in his twenties.
For her, among all the relatives, if her grandparents are not close to her, then there is nothing worth being close to.
The Pei family has a good family tradition, but to be honest, Pei Jiancheng is actually colder than Shen Changjing.
Zheng was sentimental, but when they first met, Shen Chuliu was already twenty years old. She knew in her heart that he was a relative, but she couldn't get close to him after all.
Therefore, she was willing to help Pei Jun, firstly because the child was really to her liking.
Secondly, after all, she had thought about making this child the legitimate wife of Qi Yan. Since she had thought about it, she had to give this child a happy ending.
With her, the prince's biological mother, taking care of things, Pei Jun will have a better life in the He family in the future.
As the weather got hotter day by day, Shen Chuliu gradually changed into thinner clothes.
Yufu Palace is still the best place in the palace. Every place must be carefully served.
The Changle Palace, which was once bustling, was completely closed after being renovated.
Shen Chuliu worked for several days and personally counted out a batch of things and asked someone to send them to the Pei family to add to Chaochao's dowry.
I was also tired, so I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
I met Concubine Yan strolling with her two children.
Concubine Yan's son and daughter are now both nine months old.
They all look good when they are raw.
Concubine Yan stepped forward and said, "Greetings to Concubine Jing. Long live the Queen."
"Forget it." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
Then came the two wet nurses, who came to pay their respects on behalf of the two children. Shen Chuliu also waved her hand to indicate that it was unnecessary.
She walked a few steps closer and took a look: "The Ninth Princess and the Fourteenth Prince are both very beautiful, white as snow, and very cute."
This is the truth.
These two children don't look alike, but they are definitely born from the same birth.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Concubine Yan said.
"Your Majesty looks well, I guess you are in good health these days?"
Everyone in the palace knew that Shen Chuliu was injured, so it was not surprising to hear this.
Shen Chuliu nodded.
"Concubine Yan doesn't come out very often nowadays, right?" Shen Chuliu didn't leave and just sat here.
This is a pavilion. After all, Concubine Yan was afraid that the two children would get sunburned.
"The child is young, and if he comes out too much, there will be a lot of trouble. So he usually doesn't come out." Concubine Yan also sat down.
"Concubine Yan is the one who knows how to avoid quietness. I remember when you first entered the palace, I thought that she was a very quiet person. I only remember that she was pure and innocent, with a stunning appearance. You see, after you entered the palace, Concubine Ning fell out of favor. It has been eight years now, right?" Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
Concubine Yan knew that there was something else she had to say, and at this point, she could only respond.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. Living in this harem, no matter how pure, noble and aloof you are, you will have to change. How could someone who really doesn't care about how he lives his life and is only obsessed with poetry and books come in in the first place?" Concubine Yan smiled bitterly.
"You are right." Shen Chuliu smiled and gently waved her round fan. "Back then, Concubine Yi was aloof and arrogant from the beginning, different from everyone else. No one in the palace was as noble as her. But one day, she fell out of favor, and had to push forward a Su family."
"At that time, I thought that this Concubine Yi was not really noble."
"Then it was Ning. Everyone said she was imitating Concubine Yi and pretending to be noble. I also thought so at one point. The emperor also thought so. So, when you, who were truly noble, came, Ning fell out of favor."
Shen Chuliu smiled again, as if with a hint of amusement: "Nowadays, the Ning family still likes those things of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and still has some worldliness, but it also has a more mundane air. It can be seen that in this world, if people want to be noble and proud, they must first have a full stomach. Otherwise, no matter what kind of person, they will have to bow their heads to the hunger and cold in this reality."
"What the Imperial Concubine said makes a lot of sense." Concubine Yan also smiled.
"I am naturally different before and after entering the palace. What I couldn't understand in the past, I now understand. Although I am sometimes arrogant, I also understand that not everyone can afford to offend me."
"It is rare in the harem to find someone like the Imperial Concubine, who lives a half-clean life but can stand in a high position. It is rare nowadays. It was also rare in many dynasties before. After all, I am not as good as the Imperial Concubine. Therefore, I have never provoked the Imperial Concubine." Concubine Yan said.
"Look at what you said. I'm not clean either. Who hasn't done something bad?" Shen Chuliu laughed, "It's just that if you do something bad, you must bear the consequences. But if you can't be caught for the rest of your life, that's also a skill. Okay, I've rested enough, let's go shopping."
Having said that, he stood up.
Concubine Yan did not try to keep her and sent her off respectfully.
These two were certainly not in the mood for gossip.
It’s nothing more than that Shen Chuliu told Concubine Yan, I know you are not the kind of person who doesn’t care about anything.
And Concubine Yan was honest in what she said. She had done bad things but she had never dared to plot against Shen Chuliu.
That's enough.
Shen Chuliu is not a messenger of justice.
As she said, who in the harem hasn't done something bad?
As for herself, didn’t she also plot against Concubine Yi back then?
Although Concubine Yan was not clean, she gave birth to a pair of children for the emperor, so it was obvious that the emperor did not care about the past anymore.
After all, Concubine Yi was not important enough, so she couldn't blame others.
There is never any justice in the harem.
Thinking back to the time when Shen Chuliu was assassinated several times, wasn't it the same back then with no results? Wasn't it the same confusion? At that time, the emperor had not yet planned to take action against the Feng family, so Shen Chuliu could only endure it.
In fact, the truth is the same. At that time, Shen Chuliu did not carry such a heavy weight.
When the emperor dealt with Li Xiang harshly, it was because the importance of Shen Chuliu and her son was heavy enough.
It's just a matter of a few years in the east and a few years in the west.
I was not depressed then, and I am not proud now.
Since he had never attacked her, why should she care so much? (End of this chapter)
