C146 Request for Reward
Shen Qi signaled Zi Zhu to help common mama up, then smiled and asked, "Has common mama been well all along?"
The common mama squinted his eyes with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, esteemed wangfei. I am fine."
Shen Qi smiled and nodded, then asked, "The Queen Mother's Phoenix Body is always healthy?"
"The empress dowager is doing well because she's always worried about the wangfei and the princess." The common mama laughed.
Shen Qi nodded with a smile. She would believe that she was worried about Duke Xian and the princess, but was he worried about her? Stop joking! The empress dowager would thank the heavens if she didn't find trouble with her. Would she miss her? Scolding her in secret wasn't too bad.
When the empress dowager heard the voice, she could no longer sit still, so when King Duanren and Shen Qi entered, she waved her hands without even waiting for them to bow. "Quick, let This Dowager see the princess."
Shen Qi helped her gather her hands, asking her to pay respects to the empress dowager. When the empress dowager first saw the extremely excited person's curiosity, she couldn't wait any longer and immediately wanted to hug him.
Shen Qi handed it over to help him adjust her posture, "Be careful Imperial Mother, she's heavy."
The empress dowager carelessly waved her hand. "This Dowager isn't so old that I can't even hold my granddaughter in my arms." It indicated to Shen Qi not to disturb their intimate relationship.
Fortunately, she did not want to be born in the beginning, and the Empress Dowager held her in her arms and did not cry, but the Empress Dowager was overjoyed. This child was almost exactly the same as Jingze when she was a child, but he was even more obedient and pleasing than Jingze.
Shen Qi also saw that even though the empress dowager was still dressed in luxurious clothing today, there was not a single piece of jewelry on her body. Not to mention her nails, even her clothes were made of soft fabric.
The empress dowager hugged the meat of her heart at first. When she first saw her like this, she stretched out her hand and placed her dessert next to the empress dowager's mouth. The child was also generous and felt like sharing what she liked with others.
The empress dowager didn't know that she would do this whenever she saw someone, thinking that the first part was because she liked her, which made her even happier. "Grandmother's obedient grandson knows how to love Grandmother."
After being kissed at first, she giggled, revealing two small teeth that made her look even cuter. The empress dowager felt her heart soften as she watched. This child really was a cause for celebration.
Everyone turned to look at the door, and after a short while, the emperor dressed in dragon robes walked in, and with a huff and puff, he kneeled on the ground. Shen Qi and Duke Xiang also came forward to pay their respects, which the emperor waved with a smile on his face, "Everyone is free of formalities."
Her Majesty looked at him with a mocking smile. "Why have you come to This Dowager's place? The moment you arrived here, I don't even know where to put my restrained hands. "
His Majesty smiled and said, "Wasn't it because Zhen wanted to see Zhen's niece!?" It's not easy to see one side. "
The empress dowager smiled at Chu Yu. "Quick, quick, pay respects to your imperial uncle and let him reward you."
As if responding to the empress dowager's words, he spoke to the emperor, who immediately found it difficult to sit still. His hands began to itch, wanting to hug this little girl who resembled Jing Ze's tender body as a child.
"Reward, take whatever you want." His words were full of boldness.
As a result, at the beginning, she stared at the jade pendant on his waist without blinking, and from time to time, she would raise her head and smile at the emperor, causing Shen Qi to want to cover her face, this was the typical expression of her when she wanted something.
Usually, when she was like this, there wouldn't be many people who would reject her request. She would just have to test them out, and so she remembered this move. She was really going to turn it into a consummate move.
The emperor had simply fallen in love with her cute little appearance. This girl was truly intelligent! She knew how to move other people's hearts, making it impossible for them to reject her request.
Therefore, he took off the jade pendant on his body and passed it over. Shen Qi saw that it was a bit outrageous and wanted to go over to stop her, but Duke Xian stopped her, and when she looked towards the Prince, Duke Xian just shook his head, "It's alright, royal brother likes her."
This was because he could see that although the jade pendant on the emperor's body was of excellent quality, it was only an ordinary jade pendant. It had nothing to do with his identity.
Alright, since the Prince has already said it, Shen Qi will not care about it anymore, and at the beginning, she just did not care about it anymore. After receiving the jade, he smiled happily, then turned to the Emperor and gave him a big smile.
When Her Majesty saw her like this, she couldn't help but laugh. "This girl is very smart, just like Jing Ze when he was young."
The Emperor was also willing to cooperate with her as he smiled and nodded in agreement. At the scene, only Shen Qi and Duke Xiang had no say, and Duke Xian did not know what he looked like when he was his age, and it was impossible for Shen Qi to know what he looked like when he was young.
A loud noise broke the peaceful atmosphere in the Tzu Ning Palace, causing the empress dowager to frown. Today was not a day of greeting, so it was obvious who these people were after.
His gaze towards the emperor then turned somewhat subtle. The emperor was also speechless, but when he saw the empress dowager look at him with slight dissatisfaction in her eyes, he felt exceptionally innocent. He didn't want to be like this either.
Yes, it was the concubines of the palace who entered with the empress to pay their respects to the empress dowager.
At this time, Shen Qi was fine, but it wasn't so good for King Duanren to be here. Thus, he nodded towards Shen Qi and said to the empress dowager, "Imperial Mother, this son will take a step or two off first."
The empress dowager nodded, knowing that it would be inconvenient for the prince to stay at this time. "Go rest first, we'll have lunch at the palace."
King Xian nodded. "This son understands." He then cupped his fists towards the emperor. "Royal brother, your servant brother will take his leave first." After getting permission, he quickly left.
Seeing King Xian leave the empress dowager made her expression turn even more unsightly. These people just couldn't let people live in peace for even a moment.
He was afraid that it would scare Yue Shuang, so he handed Yue Yu over to Shen Qi, "Sit by my side, don't scare my good granddaughter."
Shen Qi took his daughter and said respectfully, "Yes, thank you mother."
Only then did the empress dowager allow the common mama's Empress Xuan and the others to enter.
Then, the empress led her concubines in and paid her respects to the empress dowager and the emperor. Finally, she looked at the Queen's Consort and princess by the empress dowager's side. This princess, who caused the imperial concubines to be jealous and envious, was currently looking at them innocently.
Within the imperial harem, not to mention the treatment of a princess, even the title of 'Changning' was enough to make people jealous. Moreover, she had three counties' land and all three counties were rich and fertile.
At this time, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration at her good fate. Her fate was truly better than the princess' in the palace.
Although the empress dowager was dissatisfied, she didn't express it. She raised a hand to excuse them from saluting before giving them a seat. "Why does the empress want to come to This Dowager's place today?"
When the empress heard the empress dowager's words, she could tell that she was dissatisfied with them. She got up and smiled as she replied, "When chenqie heard that Queen's Consort had brought Princess Changning into the palace to pay her respects to you, wasn't it because her little sisters were very curious about Princess Changning? They wanted to see the princess' true appearance and begged chenqie to bring them here."
This was also the reason why she suddenly came to Tzu Ning Palace today. It wasn't because she wanted to come, but because her concubines were begging for her to come, making it difficult for her to reject them.
Every single word that came out from the imperial harem would cause Shen Qi to feel tired. She had no idea how the emperor had endured the kindness of these beauties.
The empress dowager neither agreed nor disagreed with the empress's words. They both came from the palace, so no one could hide their intentions from them. When she heard the empress mention Princess Changning, she smiled at her and said, "This is Changning, take a look at her as well." His tone was full of joy.
The empress had long seen this milk baby. When Shen Qi wanted to carry her and stand up to greet her, she pulled him back, "Queen's Consort doesn't need to be so courteous. She then looked at Chu Feng and smiled, "Changning, can I hug you?" She doesn't even use me now. She uses me.
At first, she wasn't afraid of anyone, but now she felt a little uncomfortable. The scent of incense coming from the concubines was too strong, making her feel uncomfortable. However, she still gave the empress some face when she reached out to hug her.
The empress's smile immediately became much more genuine. She knew that she had to see the princess today, so she didn't wear a fake fingernails. The empress's incense was lighter, but at first she could endure it.
As soon as the Queen hugged her, the other imperial concubines, led by Yan Wan, could no longer sit still and wanted to surround her to see what was going on. But at the start, they really could not take it anymore, they immediately started to struggle when they got close to her, looking at Shen Qi who was about to leave.
The empress thought that she was afraid of the young, and handed the person over to Shen Qi with a smile. "Changning is a little afraid of the young.
At the beginning, when she was in Shen Qi's embrace, she buried her head in's, the smell of her mother's body was good, but this action of hers made people agree with the empress's words of fear, which Shen Qi smiled and did not explain.
You can't possibly say that my daughter despises you, right? That Dora's Hatred!
Shen Fei looked at Shen Qi's blissful face. Even though she gave birth to a girl, she couldn't get even the slightest bit of complaint from Shen Qi. Instead, she was even more spoiled than some of the princes in the palace.
Because her son was born prematurely, the Fifth Prince's body was always weak. In the past two years, even the slightest movement in the wind and grass would make him sick, and even if it was in the hot weather, she wouldn't dare to neglect him. She was worried for her son, Shen Fei, and felt that she had aged a lot over the past year.
Then, what about Shen Qi? Her face was healthy and rosy, which could not be compared with rouge. Her daughter was healthy and lively, looking full of vigor.
Could it be that he was destined to be unable to obtain anything good? She couldn't accept it in her heart, but so what?
At this moment, she had to force a smile. "Princess Changning looks healthy with just one glance. How is she like the Fifth Prince? He doesn't even dare to covet cold weather like this."
had said that he would not forget to show the Fifth Prince his existence even when it was just the beginning. What could Shen Qi say?
The Emperor creased his eyebrows. It wasn't the first time that the Shen Fei was acting like this for the Fifth Prince's sake. Everywhere they went, they would mention something about him.
And at this time, if one knew that he felt sorry for his son, he wouldn't know that he was cursing someone else.
When Yan Wan heard her words, her eyes couldn't help but flash as she subconsciously protected her stomach. It had to be said that even if the Shen Fei was born prematurely, Yan Wan's innocence could still be considered the culprit.
Her actions naturally did not escape the eyes of the other concubines. Lifei's eyes flashed, and Hui Ying, who was by her side, covered her mouth and asked in concern: "Is Wan-fei feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Why are you holding your stomach and not saying anything? "
Her words succeeded in drawing everyone's attention to Yan Wan, and when Shen Qi heard the two words "Wan-fei", he also sighed in his heart.
