Chapter 8: Fresh for a Few Days
Lu Baolin and others came forward and were about to persuade her, but they saw Shen Chuliu slap Miao Xiaoyi in the face with lightning speed.
"Xiao Yi, that's not enough. Wait until you at least reach the level of a beauty before you tell me these things. Before that, it's best to stay away. Do you think I have a good temper?" After saying that, Shen Chuliu turned and left.
Miao Xiaoyi was so stunned by the slap that she even forgot to call for help.
Lu Baolin and others were also stunned and hurriedly followed.
After they walked away, Lu Baolin said, "This... is she Xiaoyi..."
"We're not going to see An Yu Nu, let's go."
Seeing her like this, everyone dared not say anything. There were many fights among the women in the harem, but it was rare to see someone hitting someone.
All I can say is that she is the daughter of a general.
There was only one person named An Yu living in Fenghua Pavilion now. When she saw everyone coming, she hurriedly asked people to greet them.
She has been pregnant for just over a month now, so she shouldn't tell anyone about it, but she, a mere imperial physician, was unwilling to keep it a secret.
So as soon as it was released, it exploded immediately.
However, Concubine Cao did not hide the fact that she was pregnant for the previous two months.
An Yunv looked nice, and after seeing her everyone went their separate ways.
The news that Shen Chuliu beat Miao Xiaoyi naturally spread immediately, including what Shen Chuliu said in Fengzao Palace, which made people know that she disliked Miao Xiaoyi very much.
That is, who can like her?
But if others were to speak in a roundabout way, Shen Chuliu would be very straightforward by just hitting people in the face.
In Cuiyunxuan, Zirui sighed: "Why are you so impulsive! She is Xiaoyi after all, how can you hit her?"
"Aren't you looking forward to my improvement? Isn't this the chance?" Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Stop talking. Hurry up and get me something to drink. It's so hot and I'm thirsty after talking so much. Come and help me change my clothes."
Zi Rui sighed and left. She knew that her young lady had something in mind, but she couldn't help but worry.
Zizhu brought other maids to help Shen Chuliu change clothes. Soon, she changed into a light and comfortable light blue skirt. Because they were in the house, they didn't need to wear outer clothes.
She was of low rank, so she didn't need ice. But the room wasn't very hot, so she just fanned herself and covered herself with a blanket at night. After all, this was a house that had been there for years.
Just couldn't stand going out.
"Baolin, your feet are sore, do you want to soak for a while?" Zizhu was the most well-behaved and always called Baolin.
In fact, once you get close, there’s no need to be so polite.
"Well, let's go to the bar." Shen Chuliu said.
Soon, the little girls brought hot water. Although it was a bit hot for soaking feet in the summer, it was still comfortable.
"Sister Zirui went to the kitchen." Zizhu explained while serving Shen Chuliu.
"Zizhu, how far do you think Miao Xiaoyi can go?" Shen Chuliu asked.
Zizhu paused for a moment, then continued: "Baolin is very clear-headed. Now is the chance."
"I was right about you. This is indeed an opportunity." Shen Chuliu smiled and said nothing more.
As for Miao Xiaoyi, it’s not right to say that she is not important.
How can you say it's not important? Who is the Deer King? When the previous emperor was still alive, he didn't appoint a crown prince early. Qi Yixiu, born to Empress Dowager Li, was not favored.
The most favored one is the Sixth Prince, born to Concubine Yang, followed by the Deer King. The third prince of the previous emperor. The current fifth prince has been in an awkward situation for several years.
Until the Sixth Prince rode his horse in the street, but he got off the horse and fell to his death.
At this point, Concubine Yang had no hope, and the third prince’s biological mother was not very powerful.
This made the late emperor determined to appoint a crown prince.
The late emperor gradually died young due to the grief over the passing of the sixth prince. Now it is the fourth year of the emperor's reign.
It can be said that Miao Xiaoyi came at the perfect time.
After one year in the palace, Shen Chuliu didn't know the emperor very well, but she definitely knew that he was not a good person.
What is Miao Xiaoyi? Not even a chess piece.
To say that she is a toy is not valuable at all. Even if the Dayi Dynasty did not attach so much importance to family background, it would not allow a dancer to ascend to a high position again.
Therefore, Miao Xiaoyi was involved with the Deer King of the previous dynasty.
As for the harem, she had only one result, which was to shock the harem with her tragic failure.
So the more proud she is now, the more miserable she will be in the future.
As for Shen Chuliu, if he attacked someone who was higher than him, people would only say he was ignorant.
But since Baolin hit Xiaoyi, it can't really be said to be an insubordination.
If she dares to fight, she will take the blame. Zi Rui was anxious, and she knew that it was her turn to step forward.
A year has passed, and we have seen enough, right? Miao Xiaoyi is the chicken that the emperor killed to scare the monkeys, but isn't she also a stone for her to climb up?
It's so suitable, why not do it? If the emperor can blame her for this, then she will be blind for the whole year. If that's the case, she should stop struggling as soon as possible and live out her days in Baolin's position.
Sure enough, at dusk, the emperor rewarded Miao Xiaoyi with a hairpin and said that his beloved concubine had been wronged.
But the person went to Concubine Yi's palace.
Everyone also thought that Concubine Yi was the most favored, and Miao Xiaoyi was just a newcomer who was just keeping the emperor entertained for a few days.
As for Shen Baolin who beat Miao Xiaoyi, he didn't punish her or say anything, just like Concubine Cao before.
You can understand that this is a silent condemnation, but you can also understand that it is not something to be taken seriously and that's it.
After all, you were beaten once and you were beaten twice. The emperor said that you were wronged, but he didn't intend to do anything for you. Maybe you are not that important.
That night, Shen Chuliu slept soundly as usual, with no sign of being unable to sleep at all.
Good morning, everyone is here.
Because An Yu Nu was pregnant, she missed the visit for one day.
Concubine Yi arrived neither early nor late, and she was as cold and aloof as ever.
Miao Xiaoyi, who was beaten yesterday, has become less arrogant.
In Fengzao Palace, there is always someone who likes to talk, and the first one is He Xiuyi.
"Oh, why do I look at Miao Xiaoyi's face... Maybe I'm seeing things? Is it swollen?"
Of course not, but I couldn't help but feel ridiculed by her.
"Empress Xiuyi must have made a mistake. I am fine." Miao Xiaoyi lowered her head.
"Since everything is fine, you must abide by the rules in the future. You have come all the way from Shu, and I don't want to blame you. But you have to know your limits." It was rare for the queen to teach the young concubine a lesson directly.
"Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions." Miao Xiaoyi said hurriedly.
"Well, since Concubine Cao and Lady An are both pregnant and both are less than three months pregnant, you don't have to pay respects for now. Come back after you are pregnant. I have already discussed with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. If your babies are born safely, both boys and girls can be promoted. I was very angry when you didn't give birth to them before. This time, if anyone stretches his hand too far, don't blame me for chopping off that hand."
Everyone bowed and said, "We will follow the Queen's order."
It seems that you still like me writing ancient Chinese.
