Chapter 7 Slap in the face
As a result, many people no longer cared about Miao Xiaoyi.
"This An Yu-nu has only received the emperor once in eight hundred years, and now she is pregnant? This is really strange." Zizhu was surprised.
Shen Chuliu smiled: "Okay."
"Ah? Baolin, what did you say?" Zizhu was puzzled.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said that he couldn’t lead these kids astray.
"Nothing, since she's pregnant, should we go check it out?"
"Yes, Concubine Cao is pregnant, so it is inconvenient for us to go. After all, An Yu Nu came into the palace with you, so we should still go and see her. Let's go and see her tomorrow, and the servants will prepare some things. Food is absolutely not allowed, how about a pair of earrings as a gift?" Zizhu said.
Zi Rui nodded: "Okay, I'll find a nice-looking and not too expensive pair." It's not that she's stingy, it's just that it's too expensive, and An Yunu can't wear it.
Shen Chuliu lay on the couch thinking about these things.
She was unwilling to enter the palace before. With a modern soul, how could she be willing?
But things in this world are not something you can be free of just because you don’t want them to be.
The three branches of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion are all military generals.
The old marquis even saved the late emperor's life in the past.
Shen Chuliu's father, the second master of the Shen family, died in battle in the northern border. When the news came back, Ye, who was about to give birth, was shocked and gave birth to Shen Chuliu at the risk of her life. Not long after, she died due to excessive longing and severe injuries from childbirth.
The second house has only one child, Shen Chuliu.
It's not true to say that she lived a miserable life. There was no shortage of food in the mansion, and her grandmother was still kind to her.
But this is good, and it is divided into several grades.
She has three older cousins, two of whom are married, and two younger sisters, one is the legitimate daughter of the third wife, and the other is the illegitimate daughter of the third wife.
Being born out of wedlock was naturally nothing, but she was asked to enter the palace during one of Emperor Qingyuan's general elections. This was definitely not what her grandmother said about her being valued.
Although she was born in the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, she was just an orphan without a father or a mother. How could she be valued by the family? Her entry into the palace was nothing more than paving the way for her cousin.
She had also clearly expressed her unwillingness, but her grandmother, who had been kind to her since she was a child, had clearly defined a path for her: If she did not agree, she would become the concubine of the King.
Prince Wei was the youngest brother of the late emperor. He had always been a frivolous person. In order to make him behave himself, the late emperor gave him the title of Wei, hoping that he would behave himself.
This prince is almost forty years old, and he probably has nearly a hundred concubines in his mansion.
This was the escape route her good grandmother gave her.
She couldn't be said to be close to her family. She came here with memories of her past life and lost her parents at birth, so she couldn't be close to others.
But they were still treated as relatives. But because she was unwilling to enter the palace, everyone in the family changed their attitude.
In addition, all the property of the second house was controlled by her grandmother, so she understood it at that time.
What about the second wife's only child? It's true that she is the only child, but she was lucky to be a girl and could grow up. If it was a son, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.
With this thought, she decided to enter the palace. After all, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an. Her father was a hero who died in battle. Anyway, a woman at this time would have many difficulties in marrying anyone, so she might as well give it a try.
As for that family of unlucky relatives, haha.
She had given it her all anyway, and everyone was doing their own thing. If she failed, don't blame her for having her family confiscated and her clan exterminated. After all, she didn't want to enter the palace.
After thinking about many things, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when paying respects to Fengzao Palace, he mentioned that An Yu Nu was pregnant.
"The emperor actually kept Miao Xiaoyi last night? The emperor is not particular about trivial matters, and Miao Xiaoyi is too naive. After all, An Yunv is pregnant, so the emperor should at least be asked to go and see her." He Xiuyi said.
"How dare I influence the emperor's mind?" Miao Xiaoyi retorted.
"Oh, Sister Xiuyi may not know yet, the emperor asked Miao Xiaoyi to live in the side pavilion of Zilin Pavilion. That is a very good place in the palace, and it is very close to Taiji Palace." Concubine Li said with a smile.
The reason why she mentioned this place was because He Xiuyi wanted to live there when she first entered the palace, but failed.
Ning Cairen suddenly said: "The emperor really dotes on Miao Xiaoyi."
Everyone looked at each other and talked about Miao Xiaoyi.
Originally Shen Chuliu was enjoying the show, but the bad-mouthed He Xiuyi couldn't stand her being so leisurely, so she said, "Shen Baolin was so glorious when he entered the palace, he was the first person in this class. How come after a year, he is not as good as a newcomer? Miao Xiaoyi dances well, why don't Shen Baolin learn from her? At least the emperor can know that you have ability."
"He Xiuyi is so unreasonable! What kind of girl from a good family can be so shameless to flirt with someone? Even if I danced one day, it was just for my own amusement. I can't do it in front of so many people. Although Empress Xiuyi always speaks without thinking, she should at least not insult me like this. Don't you see, what's Miao Xiaoyi's name and what's mine?"
Everyone was stunned by Shen Chuliu's words at first, but it was the first time they saw her so powerful.
Then someone thought about Miao Xiaoyi's name, and then someone burst out laughing.
Wei Wanyi, it's for toys...
One laughed, and the others also understood.
Then everyone in Fengzao Palace started laughing, even the Ice Queen who was sitting at the top smiled.
Li Jieyu laughed the most: "Oh, Shen Baolin is also a mischievous person. It's true that we can't compare with this name. It's the only one in the palace."
Miao Xiaoyi didn't understand what everyone was laughing at, but she could feel embarrassed and glared at Shen Chuliu hatefully.
Shen Chuliu felt no pain or itch.
After the greetings were over, several Baolins and Yu Nu went to see An Yu Nu.
No one wanted to call Miao Xiaoyi. People above her were of higher rank, so naturally they would not condescend to see her, unless they had a purpose or were well connected.
Not far from Fengzao Palace, I saw Miao Xiaoyi standing there, with the palace maids serving her in front of her.
She looked at Shen Chuliu coldly: "Shen Baolin, I am at least a seventh-rank concubine appointed by the emperor himself, how dare you be so disrespectful to me?"
When Shen Chuliu saw this situation, he was happy.
It's just that he has a frown and a cold look. Shen Chuliu has a pair of almond-shaped eyes, which look best when they are misty.
When he glared at her this moment, his aura was much stronger than Miao Xiaoyi's.
Even though her grandmother wasn't very kind to her, she did learn from her grandmother through words and deeds.
"I respect you? What are you dreaming about? If the emperor hadn't made you a little Yi, I wouldn't even bother to look at you."
Zi Rui was shocked, but she would not do anything to stop her master now, as that would not look good.
"You! You are committing treason!" Miao Xiaoyi said angrily.
Shen Chuliu sneered and walked over in a few steps: "What can you do to me?"
"No matter what I say, I am higher in rank than you. You... don't force me! Jixiang, slap me in the face!"
The maid Jixiang didn't dare and remained motionless for a while.
