Chapter 0494 - Asking for Money
The sequelae of the emperor's too much interest was that Shen Chuliu delayed going to the queen to ask for peace.
However, she has been doing well for many years, and she doesn't care if she doesn't go to the queen occasionally.
In the middle of the morning, someone from Taiji Palace came to invite, saying that the emperor invited Concubine Jing to go to Taiji Palace for dinner.
Shen Chuliu looked at the big sun outside, and thought to himself that the prince himself was too lazy to move around to ask her to go.
She didn't refuse, so she changed her clothes and went out.
There are still people in Taiji Palace, it is Zhuang Jieyu and Lin Jieyu. This time, two newcomers.
is not as outstanding as Li Zhaoyi, but don't be favored by the following few.
It's the new favorite.
When they saw Shen Chuliu, they were all busy getting up to salute: "Concubine Jing Niangniang." ”
Zhuang Jieyu is gentle, Lin is dignified, and they are both excellent years.
Shen Chuliu shouted: "The emperor is blessed." ”
"Come, play a game of chess with me." Qi Yixiu beckoned.
"Why don't you go down with your two sisters?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"I know you're a good chess player, come on." Qi Yixiu said with a smile: "Go and cut the watermelon soaked in the well water for Concubine Jing." ”
"Hey." The fourth year of junior high school should be answered.
The two Jieyu couldn't help but be envious, they didn't care so much when they came to the emperor.
also specially chilled watermelon for Concubine Jing.
It was still early before lunch, and Shen Chuliu simply patiently played chess with the emperor.
Eating cold watermelon is also very interesting.
Shen Chuliu is not outstanding in chess, but he is not bad, but he can walk in the hands of the emperor for more than an hour.
Qi Yixiu was really satisfied, although he won in the end, he still felt that Shen Chuliu was a better chess player.
It's good that a woman's vision and overall view are so powerful.
"Concubine Ai is really lazy every day." Qi Yi cultivated.
Shen Chuliu smiled, not trying to tell what he meant.
After eating the watermelon, she went to clean her hands first, and when she came back. Lunch is already here.
Shen Chuliu naturally sat in front of the emperor unceremoniously, using a round table, but there was nothing up or down.
The two Jieyu didn't dare to sit down, but the emperor waved his hand: "Sit down, the concubines don't have to be polite." ”
Two thanksgiving before he sat down.
The meal is naturally based on the emperor, but since Concubine Jing is here, the imperial dining room will also consider Concubine Jing's taste, so Shen Chuliu also eats very happily.
However, although the two Jieyu are new favorites, they have a low status after all, so at this time, they will naturally not be considered.
Especially when dining with the emperor, they can't let go of it, so they are careful.
In this comparison, Concubine Jing was very calm.
After lunch, the two Jieyu were a little uncomfortable, and in the summer, I don't know if the emperor wants to take a nap, what should they do?
If there is only one person, you can wait for the emperor to take a nap, but this ......
Zhuang Jieyu looked at Shen Chuliu carefully, thinking that Concubine Jing was probably going to stay......
Sure enough, the emperor said, "You two should go back first, and I will see you when I have time." ”
The two Jieyu were not reluctant to give up at this time, it was more embarrassing to stay, and they hurriedly quit.
Shen Chuliu is funny, what is this a picture?
The emperor in order to show that he cares about them? But these two are on a hot day, isn't it hot to go back at this time?
"Aifei is tired, right? Sleep for a while and wait for the pen and ink in the afternoon. "Qi Yi cultivated.
Shen Chuliu raised his eyebrows: "Okay." ”
It's been a long time since I've been serving pen and ink.
Come to think of it, it seems that the emperor will not ask other concubines to serve pen and ink now?
When she woke up from a nap, Shen Chuliu woke up much later than the emperor, and the emperor didn't call her when he got up.
Not to mention whether he loves it or not, after all, he has been getting along for many years, and Shen Chuliu loves to sleep. The emperor does not necessarily give this benefit.
Shen Chuliu got up and drank some herbal tea first, and then went to serve the emperor's pen and ink.
Not long after entering, the emperor frowned and threw a fold in his hand on the table.
Shen Chuliu saw it without looking at it, it was the southwest urging food and wages, it was Jin Changhou, that is, General Li's excerpt.
Shen Chuliu thought to himself, if he remembered correctly, since he had decided to suppress the bandits, the emperor had already ordered someone to send two rounds of food and salary to the southwest.
How many soldiers and horses are there in the Southwest? 170,000 yuan, every time the food and salary are sufficient, the Dayi Dynasty is not short of food and silver.
But a few years ago, when the meeting almost fought with the DPRK, Northern Xinjiang did not ask for food and salary like this.
The strength of the troops in the north is more than three times that of the southwest.
It's more expensive to suppress bandits, but it's not so expensive, right?
Moreover, so far, there has been no effect, but it has been asking for money one after another? Tsk, no wonder the emperor didn't approve this fold.
Presumably, this is also something that the cabinet can't call the shots, right?
Shen Chuliu's face remained unchanged, and the inkstone was full, so she sat down and ate fruit.
Quietly watched the emperor approve the fold and read the secret letter, and in the end, the fold really didn't move.
It seems that it means to press. I just don't know how long to press.
That night, Shen Chuliu naturally stayed here.
I went to Fengzao Palace early the next morning, but I was earlier than everyone else.
Everyone arrived one after another, and most of them had to ask Shen Chuliu for peace.
Yi Jieyu, who was full of Xiao Yuezi, also arrived, she looked at her face and looked good, listening to the ruddy one, it seemed that Xiao Yuezi was sitting well.
Xue Cairen's spirit is also good, and he is also rich when he looks at it, and the fetus is very stable.
She is now almost six months pregnant, and she is so stable.
Everyone sat down and gossiped, after all, there were not many people who dared to talk about Shen Chuliu directly.
As of yesterday, those two Jieyu could laugh at it, and everyone spared no effort.
Fortunately, Lin Jieyu and Zhuang Jieyu can still sit still.
Shen Chuliu also suddenly thought that a few people who entered the palace this time didn't give any titles?
Shen Chuliu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Zhaoyi.
Li Zhaoyi also happened to look over, and when she saw Shen Chuliu looking at her, she was startled, and she turned her head with a smile.
Everyone wanted to laugh when they saw it, and they were scared after only a few days of entering the palace?
Shen Chuliu raised his eyebrows slightly, this is too easy to scare, right? Looks like it's pretended, right?
But no matter what, according to her father's current method......
Well, maybe in the end, people can make meritorious contributions?
When the queen came out, everyone said goodbye.
As soon as the queen said a few words, Concubine Li suddenly covered her mouth and got up and went outside.
Everyone was shocked, and the queen frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
No one could answer, and after a while, Concubine Li came in with the girl's hand, and frowned when she came in: "Li Zhaoyi, what kind of smell do you have?" What kind of incense? ”
Her face was not good-looking, not like she was pretending: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine suddenly smelled the fragrance on Li Zhaoyi's body, and she was very sick to her stomach." ”
Li Zhaoyi was very aggrieved: "It's the incense rewarded by the emperor, and the concubines are useless." ”
Concubine Li frowned and didn't speak.
The queen said, "Since you are not feeling well, go back and call the imperial doctor to take a look." ”
"Yes, the mother forgives the sin, it is the concubine who has lost her temper for a while." Concubine Li is also a concubine with a good check-in attitude, so the queen is also more tolerant.
"It's okay, it's okay, just disperse." She said as she held Emei's hand and got up.
Everyone had no choice but to retreat.
