Chapter 182 Promotion
"Madam, go first. We will take the flowers we picked earlier and go right away."
When the two arrived at the pavilion, Su He had not started weaving yet. She learned how to weave wreaths by chance when she was participating in club activities in college.
While Su He was making the garland, she was observing Hongshi and Caiping. There was nothing unusual about the two of them. The two little girls were also very clever and they learned it after just one try from Su He.
Su He put the first wreath she had woven on Xiao Zhuzhu's head, and Xiao Zhuzhu immediately fell to the ground from Cuiguo's arms.
The little person smiled with curved eyebrows and turned around in front of everyone, "Look, Zhuzhu is pretty~"
Hongshi was the most supportive. He squatted down and held little Zhuzhu in his arms, "Zhuzhu is the prettiest. Zhuzhu is the prettiest."
The little guy was amused and laughed non-stop.
Su He quickly made two more, one for Aqi's head and one for Lingling's head. The two little guys looked at each other and saw a bit of helplessness in each other's eyes.
"What are you looking at? This is how much your mother likes you. Wear it quickly. It will look so beautiful."
Hongshi held Zhuzhu in one hand and quickly scratched the noses of the two little ones with the other hand.
"Hongshi, do you think it looks good too?"
Su He looked at Hongshi with bright eyes and a face full of joy.
"Well, mother, I think it's very beautiful. Look how good it looks with my uncle and my brothers and sisters."
Su He chuckled, took out a wreath from the table behind him, and put it on Hongshi's head in the blink of an eye.
"Um~ Mom, my son is so old now. This is for coaxing children. He doesn't need to wear it anymore."
A baby voice came, "Nephew, don't pick it. This is your mother's love for you. Wear it quickly. It looks so beautiful."
Hongshi did not expect that the retribution in this life would come so quickly. He was really shooting himself in the foot.
After having their meal at Qingliang Terrace, they returned to the palace early.
In the carriage, Su He thought about asking about Cai Ping's matter clearly. Although it happened in the future, it was like a knife hanging over his head, which was really uncomfortable.
"Hongshi, what do you think of these two maids, Caiping and Cailan?"
When Hongshi heard his mother's question and combined it with the information he had gained from reading her mind, he knew what his mother was worried about.
"Mother, I'm telling you the truth. These two girls are indeed beautiful. If you don't tell me about their temperament, you can't tell that they are maids. If they change their clothes and dress up, they will probably be no worse than the ladies of aristocratic families, especially the girl named Cai Ping."
"Mother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. If it were me two years ago, I might have thought that girl was what my future wife would look like. But since I left the capital, whether I went to the northwest to fight or went out to sea to trade and exchange culture, my idea of what my future wife would look like has become increasingly vague."
"My son doesn't know who he will find to spend his life with, but he knows who he doesn't want to marry."
Su He was very satisfied with Hongshi's growth. "Okay, in that case, mother believes in your vision."
"Mother, Uncle Jiu and I have discussed it. We will set off in five days. We will go to the northwest first. We hope to make the first batch of winter clothes before winter comes this year, so that the soldiers at the border can have an easier time. After the northwest is arranged, Uncle Jiu and I will go to Jiangnan."
Yinzhen seemed to be sulking these days and still ate in Changchun Palace every day. After dinner, he either went to see Ying Guiren or An Chang.
Concubine Hua still doesn’t return to her Yikun Palace, and no one knows what she and Concubine Hua are doing in Changchun Palace?
Although the current Concubine Hua is different from before and can live in peace with her sisters in the harem, the deterrent power she had in her early years is still there.
These days, there is a lot of gossip in the harem, and the concubines who are usually on good terms with Su He and Nian Shilan will not come to disturb them.
A few days of peace and tranquility passed like this. After Hongshi left, Yinzhen announced the result of the previous rebellion in the court.
Longkodo was sentenced to death for colluding with and instigating the former crown prince Yinti to rebel. His three clans were exterminated, and the soldiers who participated in the rebellion and those who surrendered were reassigned to various armies.
Not only did Zhen Yuandao participate in the rebellion, he was also found to have ties with the forces of the previous dynasty, and his entire clan was directly exterminated.
Although Shen Zishan was bewitched, his intention to rebel was obvious. The emperor went to Cunjutang on purpose. Now that Shen Meizhuang's belly had grown bigger, the emperor had to take care of the heir in her belly.
"How are you recently? Is the child safe?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine."
"There are some things you should know."
Yinzhen directly handed a stack of papers to Shen Meizhuang.
"Your Majesty, I deserve death."
The paper contained correspondence between Shen Zishan, Longkodo and Zhen Yuandao.
Before, she thought that her father had no choice but to do so, or that given his cautious nature, even if he wanted to, he didn't have the courage to really get involved. However, those letters were so clear and detailed.
Yinzhen did not help Shen Meizhuang up, and Shen Meizhuang just knelt on the ground.
"Do you want to plead for your father?"
Shen Meizhuang shook her head, "Your Majesty, I want to know if my maternal grandfather's family can participate?"
"not at all."
Shen Meizhuang breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, can you allow my father and mother to divorce and let my mother return to her parents' home?"
"Is this the only request I will make? I will not ask for mercy for you, your father, and your brother?"
Shen Meizhuang looked up at the emperor, without a trace of extraneous emotion in her eyes.
“People always have to pay the price for what they do.”
"Well, you are worthy of being my concubine."
Yinzhen then reached out and pulled Shen Meizhuang up from the ground.
"Su Peisheng, inform the six palaces that Concubine Shen will be promoted to Concubine Shen. When you give birth to a baby boy, I will choose a title for you and hold the canonization ceremony together with the prince's full moon day."
"Princess Shen, I agree to your request."
"Master~"
Shen Meizhuang looked at the emperor's back as he left and shed two lines of tears.
"Master, I will go and get Doctor Wei."
"No need."
"My lady, are you really not going to care about the master and the young master?"
"Did they ever think about me and my children when they were committing treason?"
"The letter sounds nice. I don't even know whether my child is a boy or a girl. They are just satisfying their own desires under the pretext of doing it for me and my child. Even if I give birth to a boy, I'm afraid he will just be a puppet."
"The emperor didn't implicate my mother and me, and he spared my grandfather's family and my mother. I am already very satisfied. However, he still harmed my child in the end. Having such a treasonous grandfather, ah~"
