Shen Chuliu was not very surprised by this.

She knew that it was impossible for the emperor to make her a second-rank concubine all of a sudden.

Among the nine concubines, Xiuyi is not low. She has now left many people behind, and in a few years, it will be impossible to rise to the throne.

At this time, she heard that Zirui had already been rewarded with everything that should have been rewarded, smiled and praised a few words, and then went to sleep again.

Knowing that the child is asleep well, he is not in a hurry to say goodbye.

Shen Chuliu was busy giving birth at this time, but after all, everyone was busy, she arranged it early in the morning, and nothing happened.

For a few days, the emperor didn't have time to come and see, so he only called the fourth junior high school every day to ask, and the poor fourth father-in-law really broke his leg these days.

Shen Chuliu was not stingy with rewards, but it also made the fourth father-in-law very happy.

Because the time is not right, it is exempt from washing three.

In the fourth year of junior high school, Qi Yixiu had time to come and see the two of them.

Shen Chuliu knew that the emperor was coming today, but he had time to take care of himself, during the confinement, he didn't have to make up, he just washed his face with warm water, and his hair was combed smoothly, fortunately it was cold.

Just change into clean and warm clothes and sit.

When Qi Yixiu came, everyone said goodbye.

When he entered the inner room, Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Say hello to the emperor, greet the emperor for the New Year, and congratulate the emperor." ”

Qi Yixiu smiled: "You will save trouble!" ”

This also does three things.

"How's your body?" Qi Yixiu sat on the side and looked at her, his face was acceptable, but he looked a little weak from overexertion.

It's in good spirits.

"The concubines are protected by the emperor's dragon energy, and it is not difficult to give birth, they have eaten well and slept well in the past few days, and they are also drinking the tonic of Imperial Doctor Zhao. It's not bad. However, Zirui said that the concubine's complexion was not as good as before, and it was normal to think about it, and this confinement was just to nourish the vitality. Ask the emperor to ask the concubines to be lazy and sit in the right confinement? ”

Qi Yixiu naturally didn't agree, in fact, the women in the palace, as long as they couldn't hold their bodies, were not willing to sit for so long in confinement.

I can't wait to go to bed early.

She cherishes her body.

"You go and bring the six princes to the emperor to say goodbye." Shen Chuliu said.

The Six Princes are next door, just go through the small door inside, and you don't have to go out. I'm not afraid of catching a cold.

After a while, the nurse brought the sleeping little prince to her.

In just a few days, the little one seems to have grown up a little.

"Look, the emperor eats a lot and sleeps calmly." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

Qi Yixiu turned the swaddling clothes a little and looked at the little prince's face, and couldn't see more for the time being, but the originator of this child's ears was like himself.

"Well, good. You have merit. Qi Yixiu looked at the nurse: "Good life to serve the little prince, if there is a bad pool, you don't have to live." ”

The nurse is busy, who dares to do it?

The six princes were taken away, and Qi Yixiu appeased Shen Chuliu for a while.

As usual, a lot of things were rewarded.

"The time is not right, forget the three washes of the six princes, and wait for the full moon ceremony, it will definitely be done well." Qi Yi cultivated.

"It's okay, the full moon ceremony is fine, the emperor just remembers, when you are one year old...... Ouch. I forgot, this child's birthday was just in time, and he couldn't have a good birthday. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Chuliu also wanted to laugh, just so coincidentally, he gave birth to the child on the thirtieth day of the lunar month.

The point is that sometimes there is no thirty, so isn't this child without a birthday?

Qi Yixiu also smiled: "When the time comes, it will pass a month in advance, and it will be changed to the first day of the lunar month." Or it is postponed and changed to the New Year. ”

He also didn't expect that this woman would be able to give birth at this time.

Thinking of this, Qi Yixiu thought of the words that her palace maid knelt in front of him on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Word by word, he put Shen Chuliu himself in, and he could feel her pride.

She clearly told him that I had a child, and the timing was not right, but I could arrange it, and the emperor didn't have to bother.

She was indeed very well arranged, and she was born in an orderly manner.

"You have been wronged." Qi Yixiu took her hand.

"The emperor feels that he has wronged his concubine, so the concubine simply asks for a favor." Shen Chuliu said.

Qi Yixiu thought in her heart, she probably had something outside.

She has been in the palace for a few years, but it is the first time that she has such a request.

"You say." Qi Yixiu listened to the request, and his first reaction was not disgust, yes, although he had always disliked these things.

But when he heard Shen Chuliu say, his first feeling was curiosity.

Her relationship with the Shen family can be seen when she is pregnant and has a child this time, and she refuses to ask the Shen family to come in to accompany her.

"The concubine's maternal grandfather's family said that they were going to enter Beijing this year, they only had an official position, no title, and the official position was not high, and they were not qualified to enter the palace. didn't hide it from the emperor, and the concubines never saw it once. ”

"That's right." Qi Yixiu laughed: "Concubine Ai just asks for such a little bit, what is not allowed for me?" ”

Pei Jiancheng is the assassin of Jizhou, and he can be regarded as a good official, and he has made a lot of political achievements over the years.

This time I returned to Beijing, and I also wanted to reuse it.

Pei Jiancheng was already in his fifties, and at the beginning, Qi Yixiu didn't pay attention to him at all, he was Jing Xiuyi's grandfather.

Or came to my mind later.

However, it doesn't matter, the Pei family is a pure minister and has the ability.

It's just a civil official, so Qi Yixiu didn't think about it so much, and still issued an order.

Now that I'm back for the time being, I'm in the household department, but I'm not in a hurry, what Qi Yixiu wants to do, not only that.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

Qi Yixiu stayed with her for a while before leaving.

In the imperial study, Qi Yixiu put down the fold in his hand: "What does Taifu think about this?" ”

Mrs. Lu was old and was given to sit.

This will be sincerely afraid: "The old minister also heard that there was such a time in the previous dynasty, and for a time it was clear and clear, but now the system of the three provinces can be changed all at once, I am afraid that there are many obstacles in the court." ”

"What's more, although this cabinet system is good, how can it be examined?"

"I have my own plans for this matter, but most of the old ministers at the time of the first emperor still don't know. I only hope that Taifu will take the lead, so that they will know and know. Qi Yixiu said with a smile: "I have also transferred a few capable and qualified ministers from all over the country, and this first batch of cabinet scholars, even if they have them." ”

"Yes, the old minister did everything for the emperor, did his best, and died." Mrs. Lu said busily.

"After talking about state affairs, I will also talk about family affairs." Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "I heard that there is still a granddaughter in the Taifu family who has not yet left the cabinet?" I don't know if Taifu has a favorite person? If so, I may decree marriage. Or this year's spring, after the palace tries, see if there is a suitable son among the top three. ”

"The old minister bows to the emperor!" Mrs. Lu said busily.

Naturally, there is.
