Chapter 75 Different
Shen Chuliu smiled.
She thought that there were still differences between her and Li Meiren.
It’s hard to explain, but there is a big difference.
"I have some news here. I wonder if Lady Jing is interested?" Lady Li picked a beautiful flower and walked up to the pavilion with Shen Chuliu.
Someone will serve tea.
"If you tell me, then I'll naturally be interested. If you want me to exchange it, then I have nothing." Shen Chuliu said.
"Haha, I've always said that there are many smart people in this palace, but Lady Jing is uniquely smart." Lady Li laughed.
"Thank you for your appreciation, sister. I feel the same way." Shen Chuliu said.
"Sister, you don't have to be so polite. I won't pretend. If I say that we hit it off right away like real sisters, that would be a lie. If you don't believe it, I don't believe it either." Lady Li said again.
Maybe because Shen Chuliu called her "sister", she followed suit and called her "sister".
"You don't need to exchange anything for what I said, sister. You know I just entered the palace, and my family is hoping for the best for me." Lady Li said this with a hint of sarcasm.
"Empress Yi has been favored for many years, but she has been infertile for a long time. This year, she is said to have obtained a lot of good medicine from outside. This time, going back to Qingliang Mountain will be an opportunity."
Shen Chuliu understood. She slowly stood up and leaned against the railing in the pavilion: "As for pregnancy, it's not like a single medicine can help, right? Concubine Yi has been unable to get pregnant for many years, so it's obvious that she has taken a lot of medicine. What kind of magical medicine prescription can work now?"
"Sister, you don't have to trick me. I've asked someone to find out. Drinking this medicine will definitely make you pregnant. But it's very harmful to the mother. But no matter what, it won't be good news if Concubine Yi gets pregnant with a prince." said Lady Li.
"If that's the case, sister, tell me. Can I stop you? You and I are both just beauties." Shen Chuliu said.
"Sister, you know what's going on. I don't expect you to stop me. I'm not willing to be a beauty forever. You and I don't have a prince, so we can live in harmony. If I give birth to a son in the future, I'll have to think more and make more plans. This is nothing I can't say."
Shen Chuliu smiled sincerely this time: "I understand your reminder."
"The Emperor has arrived."
At this time, the singing of the fourth day of the New Year was heard.
In fact, Qi Yixiu came here because he heard that Lady Jing and Lady Li were here.
Today, neither Lady Jing nor Lady Li had any intention of meeting the emperor by chance.
But sometimes the favored people are also lucky, because someone will remind the emperor eagerly.
"It is my blessing to meet my two beloved concubines in such a beautiful scenery." Qi Yixiu came up to the pavilion and helped the two people up.
"Your Majesty, today is truly a blessing for you. I just praised Lady Li for her beauty, and it just so happens that I am beautiful too. Your Majesty is enjoying both the flowers and the people, so you have made a profit," said Shen Chuliu.
"My beloved concubine, the way you talk makes me feel like I'm going to lose money every time I hear you say that. You said I've made so much money, so what should I reward you with?" Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu was wearing a goose yellow skirt. When she came out in the morning, she also had a thin cloak on, which was now in Chi Su's hand.
She wore red gold jewelry on her lily bun, and probably because the weather had warmed up, she changed her wrist to a white jade bracelet.
The beautiful lady wore a pink coat and skirt, and also pure gold jewelry.
It is true that both of them are more beautiful than flowers.
"It's fine that Your Majesty is partial to me behind my back, but he does it in front of me too. I won't accept it." Li Mei was furious.
"Oh, I shouldn't have come. This is really going to bleed. On the fourth day of the New Year, go and ask them if there is any suitable fabric for them. It's warm now. Give them some and ask them to make clothes."
The two men thanked Qi Yixiu.
"Your Majesty, I know you are a great painter. The flowers are in full bloom today, you must paint them." Lady Li smiled and said, "I still remember what Sister Jing said, that the flowers that bloom are different every year."
"I finally come here to relax, and you still want me to paint? It's really annoying." Qi Yixiu shook his head.
But since his woman asked for it and he was in the mood, it would be fine for him to paint a picture.
"Bring something and paint here."
"I think Your Majesty should prepare two pairs as soon as possible, otherwise it would be bad if we two don't get along because of one of your paintings." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "Both of them are powerful, I can't afford to offend them. I will give each of you a small painting."
As they spoke, the eunuchs quickly went to fetch the tools for painting. Since it was colored ink, Shen Chuliu didn't need to grind the ink.
After finishing two peony paintings in the morning, Qi Yixiu felt a little tired.
Shen Chuliu suggested having dinner here.
He didn't mind and asked the imperial kitchen to send it here.
Who in the harem doesn't know that the emperor went to the Peony Pavilion to be with Concubine Jing and Concubine Li?
Anyway, no matter whether it was a coincidence or not, people in the palace would think it was intentional.
Shen Chuliu didn't care.
After lunch, Qi Yixiu was about to go back, and Shen Chuliu and Li Meiren also went their separate ways.
When they returned to Cuiyunxuan, Zirui and the others came up to greet them: "We thought you had gone somewhere else, but the people in the Imperial Garden said that you were with Lady Li and the Emperor."
"Can it be lost? If something happened, you wouldn't have to wait." Someone had already rushed forward to report the news.
Yuanxiao and Zizhu found a place to hang the painting.
"Master, are you going to sleep with me tonight?" Zi Rui asked.
"I don't think so." Shen Chuliu said, "Although the emperor raising concubines is like raising Gu, it won't be so obvious."
If he asked one of them to sleep with him today, wouldn't that be asking them to fight? The emperor certainly didn't care about the fighting in the harem, but he didn't encourage it either.
Zi Rui nodded, not quite understanding.
"I was just worried that Lady Li's appointment with you was not for good reason. Just like the last time with Yi Chongyuan." Zi Rui thought of everything just now.
They even thought about whether Lady Li was pregnant and wanted to harm their master.
"No, we are in a mutually beneficial relationship now. When I am here, she is safe, and when she is here, I am safe too. It's not that time yet."
What's the point of two beauties harming each other?
It’s hard to say which one climbed up.
Shen Chuliu himself didn't dare to say that he would never harm anyone.
"But the news I got today is quite interesting. You go and invite Yao Baolin over." Shen Chuliu said.
Soon, Yao Baolin arrived.
Shen Chuliu told Yao Baolin, Zirui and Zizhu about Concubine Yi.
Yao Baolin was stunned: "She started taking medicine when she was in the mansion, and she hasn't given up yet."
"Miss Li, do you want me to help stop them? I don't want to stop them." Shen Chuliu said.
"In my opinion, Miss Li doesn't expect you to stop her. But whether you stop her or not, she won't lose anything." Yao Baolin thought for a while before saying.
This is easy to understand, and Shen Chuliu laughed when he heard it.
