My Dear, She is Always Unmotivated

Chapter 17: Pinch the soft persimmon

Cuiyunxuan is indeed a good place. It is next to the Imperial Garden on one side and there is a small osmanthus tree on the other side.

Last year in the golden autumn, it was fragrant for a full month.

 It's close. Shen Chuliu harvested a lot of osmanthus flowers last year.

"That's true. Although our place is remote, it is exquisite and nice. Living in a remote place also saves worries. I heard that Zilin Pavilion has been quite noisy these days." Zi Rui said.

 “Cao Cairen still doesn’t give up?” Shen Chuliu said amusedly: “Why bother? No matter how much trouble there is, it will only make things worse. She may not know that it was not Wei Changyi’s fault that her child was gone.”

"What Baolin said is true, but she may not be able to let it go once she sees it clearly. She can't afford to offend others, so that's all she can do. When she was pregnant, she still refused to deal with Li Jieyu, but now she doesn't dare to do it anymore. "Zizhu shook her head.

“Persimmons are specially made soft?” Shen Chuliu shook his head: “It’s strange that she was demoted even though she had no children.”

"Forget it, it's getting hot now. I'll lean over for a while and let's walk in the imperial garden in the evening." Shen Chuliu said.

The girl responded and waited on her in the outer room.

There is a lot of trouble in the imperial garden. This is really true.

Shen Chuliu took the girl to the part of the imperial garden where the lotus flowers were blooming best, and saw a few people in the pavilion.

 She is already here, there is no need to avoid it.

As he stepped forward, he saw two servants, Li Jieyu from Ning Cai, standing outside the pavilion. There was also a less conspicuous one. Shen Chuliu remembered that it belonged to Zhang Yunu.

 Enter the pavilion, Shen Chuliu greeted the two concubines, and Zhang Yunu greeted her.

"Where did Shen Baolin come from?" Ning Caieren asked to show his dignity.

"I just came out of Cuiyunxuan. I thought the heat would be unbearable, so I came to see the lotus flowers. I didn't expect Jieyu and Cairen to be here too." Shen Chuliu said.

"Shen Baolin is also unlucky. He stayed in bed once and got mixed up. It's really..." Li Jieyu shook her head.

"This is impossible, after all, the second prince is important." Shen Chuliu didn't feel embarrassed, so he answered very calmly.

Ning Cairen smiled: "Shen Baolin is a smart person. Sister Li, please don't treat her as a fool."

"Who do I dare to think is stupid? I'm so stupid that I don't even dare to show my face." Li Jieyu laughed.

Shen Chuliu also laughed: "My sisters are laughing at me."

“Speaking of which, Shen Baolin doesn’t know, we will soon have two more sisters.” Ning Cai said humanely.

“But the two girls we met on the Queen Mother’s birthday that day?” Shen Chuliu asked.

"Exactly. One is Chen, the second daughter of the official minister, and the other is Wu, the sixth daughter of the Duke of Qi. Speaking of it, the Duke of Qi's mansion is similar to your family. They are all meritorious ministers." Ning Cai said humanely.

 In fact, the Duke of Qi has meritorious services, but now he only has a title. But the Shen family has a title and someone to lead the army.

But he is the Duke of the country, and he is a loyal minister of the late emperor Nahuizi. Their family is just marquis.

 But when it comes to real power, it is naturally the Shen family.

However, the Chen family should not be underestimated. The Minister of Personnel was only promoted after the current emperor ascended the throne.

"Then these two girls will be in high positions after entering the palace, right?" Shen Chuliu looked like he didn't quite understand.

“Look at yourself, you are just a Baolin, where can they go?” Ning Cairen just said that the emperor was stingy.

However, Qi Yixiu was really stingy about the status of the women in the harem.

 Maybe it’s because Chuliu, who is usually plain and simple, gives people a pretty good impression. Therefore, although Ning Cairen's words were rarely provocative, he wanted to get Shen Chuliu to confront the newcomer.

 But he didn’t embarrass her.

 Presumably family background is also one aspect. That night, Shen Chuliu was turned over again. This is normal. He was disturbed by Feng Shufei last night, so there is no problem in making up for it today.

In the Tai Chi Palace, after the clouds and rain passed, Qi Yixiu pinched Shen Chuliu's face: "I didn't tell you to lie down last night, why did you go back?"

"I'm not used to it. Taiji Palace is too big. I feel a little scared when the emperor is not here. So I went back." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.

Qi Yixiu smiled. He expected to hear her say something about the rules.

 After all, a Baolin who was left alone on the dragon couch could not be considered in compliance with the rules.

 But her answer made Qi Yixiu a little strange.

 “What did you do during the day?” It was still early and Qi Yixiu was not sleepy, so he chatted with the concubine.

"I got up a little late in the morning, received the reward from Concubine Shu, and then lay down for a while. In the afternoon, I went to the Royal Garden. I happened to meet Sister Li, Sister Ning, and Sister Zhang, and we talked for a while. "

“Oh? What did you say?” Qi Yixiu asked casually.

“Well, the emperor is sleepy.” Shen Chuliu stretched out his tender white hand and patted Qi Yixiu’s shoulder.

Qi Yixiu couldn't help but laugh: "Have you learned how to talk about things right and left? Huh? Tell me, what can't you ask me to hear?"

"No...it's just that there is a new sister coming to the palace. What should I say?" Shen Chuliu muttered: "Congratulations to the emperor, I feel really uncomfortable. No congratulations, it seems that I don't understand the rules and sense."

“Hahaha, so you don’t know what to say?” Qi Yixiu laughed.

"Your Majesty... don't laugh at me, why don't you let me go? I won't be on the emperor's dragon bed tomorrow, so why don't you just obediently congratulate me?" Shen Chuliu said coquettishly.

 “Okay, okay, listen to my beloved concubine.” Qi Yixiu has seen countless kinds of coquettish and idiotic people.

Of course I know that Mr. Shen also behaves like a spoiled child, but in this way, he has to say that he is quite obedient.

“It’s been more than a year since my beloved concubine entered the palace.” Qi Yixiu suddenly said.

“Well, it’s been more than a year.” Shen Chuliu muttered sleepily.

Seeing her like this, Qi Yixiu hooked her chin: "You want to sleep now? I haven't agreed yet."

 Speaking, the hood came down.

 Warm fragrance and warm jade, how can you eat it once?

Recently, I didn't say hello in the morning, so Shen Chuliu was left in Taiji Palace to have breakfast in the morning.

 This is considered an honor. Qi Yixiu didn't like leaving his concubines to have breakfast in Taiji Palace.

Since he was not going to court today, Qi Yixiu had a leisurely breakfast with Shen Chuliu, and then asked someone to send her out.

The people in Taiji Palace looked at him, wondering if the young master was about to get up? I have slept with him three or four times in the past month.

 This is different from before. In the past, it was good to go to bed once every three or four months.

He was sent back and rewarded the eunuchs, but Shen Chuliu didn't think it was anything. Of course she has to work hard to win favor.

 This is good right now, not too much, rising steadily.

Some people think she is getting better, and a new man is about to enter the palace. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

Within a few days, Qi Yixiu issued an edict to confer the title of Baolin on the Chen family and the Wu family, and live together in Qingyin Pavilion.

 At the same time, an order was also issued to elevate the positions of Lu Baolin and Shen Baolin to Xiaoyi.

 An Yunu became An Baolin. According to this look, after she gave birth to the child, she would also be Xiaoyi.
