Chapter 437 Happy Days
"Order Su Quanye to investigate this matter as well."
The Ministry of Punishment could interrogate palace maids involved in the snake plague at will, but the Ministry of Punishment would not dare to do anything to the emperor's women without the permission of their superiors.
Especially since Concubine Liang was one of the four concubines.
With Nangong Xuanyu's order, Su Quanye can do whatever he wants.
Li Changde replied "yes" and asked Xiao Huizi to go to the Ministry of Punishment to pass on the message.
At this time, the eunuch from the Jingshifang came with trays of green cards. Seeing that His Majesty looked bad, he quickly cast a look for help at Li Changde.
Only Eunuch Li can fully understand your majesty's intentions.
Knowing that His Majesty was worried and probably had no intention of flipping the cards, Li Changde still lowered his tone and asked as usual: "Your Majesty, are we going to flip the cards tonight, or..."
Nangong Xuanyu waved his hand impatiently.
He now feels upset when he sees the women in the harem, and only Nian Nian can bring him peace of mind.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor would definitely set out for Zhongcui Palace.
But thinking that Nian Nian was still in confinement and the imperial physician had told her to rest more, the emperor couldn't bear to disturb her.
Receiving Li Changde's eye signal, the eunuch holding the green card retreated quietly.
I don't know how many ladies and mistresses will be disappointed tonight...
……
Zhongcui Palace.
After breakfast, Shen Zhinian lay on the bed holding the Fourth Prince, teasing him gently, with a gentle look in her eyes.
It’s a pity that the Fourth Prince didn’t give her any face and fell asleep again.
Shen Zhinian already knew that all babies under one month old were like this, and they could never get enough sleep no matter how much they slept all day.
She handed the fourth prince to the wet nurse and let him lie back in the cradle to rest.
Fuqiu walked in from outside, handed a booklet to Shen Zhinian, and said with a smile: "My queen, after you gave birth to the fourth prince, the storehouse was almost full of rewards from His Majesty alone..."
"I have been organizing it for such a long time, but I am not finished yet. This is the first booklet, please take a look first."
Shen Zhinian took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Fuqiu: "I can trust you to do the job."
Fuqiu is more motivated!
With the queen's words, she will definitely manage the warehouse in an orderly manner!
At this time, Handan said, "My lady, Concubine Sun is here."
"Please."
When Shen Zhinian was giving birth, Concubine Sun also stayed outside the delivery room the whole time, praying to God non-stop, hoping that both mother and child would be safe!
In the end, Shen Zhinian gave birth to the fourth prince safely, and Concubine Sun cried with joy!
She had come to the main hall to visit yesterday morning, but Shen Zhinian hadn't woken up yet. Later, Nangong Xuanyu was here again, so she didn't come in to disturb him.
At this moment, it was the first time the two met after Shen Zhinian gave birth.
Concubine Sun signaled Zhu'er to hand the gift in her hand to Fuqiu, and then bowed deeply to Shen Zhinian: "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
"Congratulations to Her Majesty on giving birth to the Fourth Prince safely and becoming the head of the Four Concubines!"
Shen Zhinian couldn't help laughing, and quickly asked Handan to help Concubine Sun up: "No need to be polite."
Concubine Sun said with a smile: "Sister, you don't let me be polite because you don't treat me as an outsider. But as a younger sister, I must not forget the etiquette."
No matter how good the relationship between sisters is, there must be hierarchy. This is the way to survive in the harem.
Shen Zhinian originally planned to ask Concubine Sun to come to the main hall from time to time to accompany her and play music for her after the birth. She was in a good mood, so the heir grew better in the womb.
Using this as a reason, she requested the emperor to promote her from a commoner to a noble lady.
The reason for the promotion of a low-ranking concubine was reasonable. Even if someone in the harem complained about it, it would not cause any waves.
However, she had already been promoted to noble lady on the day of the palace coup. The next rank above noble lady is concubine.
Shen Zhinian understood that Concubine Sun was not pregnant, and this reason was not enough to promote her to the position of the head of the palace.
No one in the harem will be convinced, and the emperor will not agree even more.
So Shen Zhinian didn't mention it, but just said: "Fuqiu, pick some of His Majesty's rewards and take them back to Sister Sun."
"Yes!"
Concubine Sun said quickly, "Sister Xianfei, this is impossible! I am here to visit you, how can I eat and take things at the same time?"
Shen Zhinian said in a gentle voice: "My pregnancy would have been much less fun without you to entertain me. You have done a great service, so this small gift is nothing."
"Besides, I can't go out during the whole month of confinement. If you don't come over and play some songs for me from time to time, I will be bored to death, right?"
"Or is it that Sister Sun has become estranged from me and is unwilling to play music for me in the future?"
Concubine Sun waved her hand quickly and said with a smile, "I am willing! I would be disrespectful to refuse these gifts."
She looked outside and saw that no one had come in, so she lowered her voice and said, "Sister Xianfei, to be honest, every time I compose a new song, you are the first one to listen to it. Even His Majesty has to wait behind you!"
"Didn't Your Majesty give me a mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood five-string pipa and music score last time? I have practiced it well and will come over to play it for my sister this afternoon!"
The five-string pipa had long been lost in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Shen Zhinian had never heard of it in his past or present life. His interest was really piqued: "Okay."
Let’s put aside the intrigues outside.
While recuperating in Zhongcui Palace, the wet nurse and nanny took good care of the Fourth Prince.
Shen Zhinian didn't have to feed, change diapers, or take care of the baby. She only had to hold the soft and fragrant Fourth Prince and enjoy the mother-child relationship.
There was also the beautiful and charming sister Sun with a sweet singing voice, who would play new songs for her in the soft Wu dialect from time to time.
Days like this are so wonderful!
Although Shen Zhinian likes power and wealth, it is rare for him to enjoy such a peaceful and beautiful day, which has its own unique flavor.
Only by adjusting your state can you work better towards your goal!
Concubine Sun was squatting beside the cradle, looking at the Fourth Prince, her eyes sparkling: "Sister Xianfei, I never knew before that a newborn baby was so small..."
"This is too cute!"
Ahhh! I really want to steal it and raise it!
Ahem... this idea is a bit dangerous, stop it now!
Shen Zhinian said gently: "You will have your own children in the future."
"can you?"
Concubine Sun touched her belly and seemed to have accepted her fate. She sighed and said, "I have been your Majesty's concubine since I came to the palace. There has been no good news for so many years. I have long given up hope."
"If this concubine is really so blessed, our Zhongcui Palace will be bustling in the future!"
Nanny Lin smiled gently, "Some people are destined to have children early, and some come late. The imperial physician said that Miss Sun is in good health, so it is only a matter of time before she becomes pregnant."
Sun Changzai smiled sweetly: "Then I'll take advantage of your good words, Madam!"
Her children and her sister, Concubine Xian’s children, will surely love each other and be united against foreign enemies!
