My Dear, She is Always Unmotivated

Chapter 581 The so-called gift

 When he arrived at Miao Jieyu's place, he was also polite.

 Everyone gave her the things they had prepared. When the time came, the third prince came to pick her up.

Everyone joked a few more words about how good their relationship was and then left the palace.

 In Fuyang Palace, the second prince also brought in the second prince's concubine and his eldest son.

The eldest son was born to the concubine Zhu, but he was raised in front of the second prince's concubine. This can be regarded as respect for the princess.

Concubine Qianshu teased the child for a while, then asked Mrs. Li to take the child for a walk in the garden.

Ms. Li didn't hesitate. Knowing that mother and son had something to say, she took the child and left.

"You've also seen Rong Ning. I'm not sure what your father is thinking. I don't know who he wants to give it to." Concubine Qian Shu sighed: "This is the queen's niece."

 She herself is the queen's niece and knows the importance of this.

After all, it was very difficult for the Queen to face Feng when she was still in Qidian.

"Rong Ning is still young, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." The second prince smiled: "It will be five or six years anyway. By then, the fourth, fifth and sixth may all be married."

"It's hard to say. If you want to marry Rong Ning, a year or two late is nothing. Concubine Jing and the queen have always been good, maybe they will give it to the sixth one." Concubine Qianshu was very anxious.

“A few days ago, some of them went to Fengzao Palace for a visit. Bah, the visit was fake, but the flattery was real, right?”

"Concubine, don't be anxious." The second prince smiled: "Rong Ning is a new arrival, so she must be homesick. Well, why don't concubine invite her to have a meal later. Give her something. When summer comes, let's call her Li. You can hold a banquet at the house and invite the princesses. Li has a good temper, so it would be good to ask her to enlighten her more."

Concubine Qianshu was stunned for a moment and then understood.

  She hesitated: "This Rong Ning... is a princess after all..."

  She and the second prince were mother and son after all, and they still understood each other. What she meant was that she was a princess after all, so she wouldn't want to be a concubine, right?

"Although she is a princess, her mother is also a princess, so she does not have much money. Besides, the child is homesick every time. She is happy and she is willing. So what else is there to say?" The second prince said with a smile: "Besides, father is more at ease with her as a side concubine than as a principal concubine."

Mother and son looked at each other and smiled, and it was settled.

 After returning home, Mr. Li only agreed to what he said and had no other opinions.

 The second prince returned to the front yard.

Li Qiushui's girl was furious: "Master, what is this? He..."

"He thinks that people will agree?" Li Qiushui smiled: "It's just a delusion."

"Then why did you agree? How do people think of you?" The girl's eyes were red with anger.

"Isn't it the same whether I agree or not? Husband and wife are one body. But I just do what I should do and don't do what I shouldn't do."

The girl said angrily: "This must be what Concubine Qianshu means! It's really... it's really..."

Li Qiushui didn't say anything. She knew what the girl meant was that Concubine Qianshu was stupid.

She thought, do you think the second prince is not stupid? Concubine Qian Shu was stupid enough to understand that the second prince was not only stupid, he also thought he was smart.

Soon, Concubine Qianshu hosted a banquet for Princess Rongning.

 Invited by the elders, Rong Ning had no choice but to go.

In the Jade Palace, Shen Chuliu laughed after hearing this: "I'm afraid the princess will get tired of the banquet these days."

 “We don’t care?” Chisu asked.

"No, your master, I am independent." To put it bluntly, Shen Chuliu didn't like this princess either.

　　It’s not that I don’t like the person, it’s that I don’t care about the status of this princess at all.

 The emperor came in the evening, and Shen Chuliu was pruning flowers in the yard.

When he saw the emperor coming, he threw the scissors aside and said, "Blessings, Your Majesty."

“Let’s get up, what’s the new game?” Qi Yixiu looked at the roses that were blooming, and there were more than a dozen pots of various sizes.

 There are various varieties. "Aren't they nice? I saw that the flowers were blooming well in the Royal Garden, so I asked someone to bring me many of them. These flowers are nice and bloom all year round when the temperature is suitable. I'm going to plant them all over the yard and move them in when the weather gets cold. Leave it inside if it’s not cold.”

"Well, okay. But you can plant some roses on the wall, tie some roses with ropes, and climb all over the wall. Wouldn't it look good when they are fully bloomed?" Qi Yi said.

“It’s good, but it’s also ugly when it’s bare in winter.” Shen Chuliu disliked it.

 “Picky.” The emperor smiled: “Hang up curtains in winter.”

Shen Chu Liuxiao bent down and waved his hand to ask someone to prepare.

 It's just right, I'll transplant it now and you can see the flowers this year.

 Two people entered the room. Shen Chuliu washed his hands and poured tea for the emperor.

“Isn’t the Emperor very busy recently? Why is it so early today?”

“The envoy of the imperial court has left, so I have nothing to do.” The emperor sat down and served the tea ceremony.

“I’m going to Songshan, do you want to go?” Qi Yixiu asked.

 Songshan has a palace and a hunting ground, mainly not far away.

"Your Majesty asked me this. I'm afraid that this year I only want to take care of the young concubines and not the concubines?" Shen Chuliu smiled.

“Tsk, why are you asking if I don’t take you with me?” The emperor glanced at her.

"The emperor is willing to take you, so of course I will go." Shen Chuliu smiled and stood next to the emperor: "When will you go?"

“I’ll go after your birthday.” Qi Yixiu hugged her: “Have you lost weight?”

"Huh?" Shen Chuliu was stunned for a moment: "No?"

 Qi Yixiu pushed her to stand up, and then took a closer look.

She usually likes to wear loose skirts, even if they are waist-length, they are not too tight.

 Today I rarely wear a waist-cinching Liuxian skirt. The main reason is that the cut of this dress also shows off my waist.

Qi Genxiu looked at it for a long time and laughed: "This dress is well made."

 In the harem, apart from imitation, everyone actually has their own meaning in dressing up.

Just like Li Fei, she has deliberately controlled herself in the past few years and naturally is not that fat, but she does not dare to wear such clothes.

Shen Chuliu didn't like these clothes before, so he didn't pay much attention to them. At first glance, wearing them like this made him look a lot thinner.

Shen Chuliu paused and sat down in a daze.

“What do you want for your birthday this year?” Qi Yixiu asked.

"Why do you suddenly ask me about my concubine? Everything the emperor gives is good, and I like it all." Shen Chuliu said.

 The emperor smiled: "Yeah, okay. I thought of it, but the birthday ceremony needs to be stepped up."

Shen Chuliu didn't care at all, he just thanked the emperor.

Unexpectedly, she heard banging sounds early the next morning.

 “What is this doing?”

"Back to the master, the emperor asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stay outside. They are all surrounded and can't see what is going on inside." Chi Su explained: "It's right between our Yufu Palace and Cuiyunxuan. I don't know what is going on. "

Shen Chuliu raised his eyebrows, subconsciously thinking that this was related to the gift the emperor mentioned, but if he couldn't see it, he could only wait patiently.

 It’s really a little unexpected.

Hurry up, this project is also in a hurry, so on the first day of March, the craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that they would open a door in Yufu Palace.

Oh, the flowers are blooming outside, but I am still locked up. It's too awful.
