Chapter 110 Madam, please spare me!
Madam Li froze for a moment, then pushed Li Hui away.
"Where did you learn such crooked ways! Stay away from me!"
Li Hui said, "Woman, aren't you doing all this just to get my attention?
Congratulations, you succeeded."
With that, Li Hui stepped forward, picked up Madam Li, and headed towards the bed.
Madam Li, meanwhile, thrashed wildly in his arms, like an old sow about to be slaughtered for the New Year.
"Let me go! Where did you learn such lewd words!"
Li Hui smiled.
"Madam, just give in to me."
..."Madam, please spare me!"
"I still have to be on duty this afternoon, and I really can't handle staying up all night!"
Madam Li snorted.
"You're already giving up? How will you take concubines then? Will you marry them only to leave them in an empty room?"
"No more, no more, is that enough?"
Li Hui pulled the covers over his head and immediately fell asleep.
Lord Shen's method was indeed good; it didn't take long to win over Madam Li, but it was a bit hard on the waist.
Li Hui only managed to open his eyes when it was time for his afternoon duty, reluctantly getting dressed, holding his waist with his left hand and the wall with his right, staggering out the door.
Watching Li Hui's retreating figure, Madam Li found it amusing.
"What 'greatest master'? He still had to lean on the wall to leave!"
...Shen Yulou, having nothing to do, was at the Imperial Heirs Residence, looking after Princess Naxing's child.
Princess Naxing was about to finish her confinement month, but her recovery from the caesarean section was slow, and she still had difficulty walking.
After all, with the current technology, even with a top master like Shen Yulou personally performing the surgery, it was hard to achieve the level of modern medicine.
Shen Yulou and Tao Hong took turns holding the child; the child was very easy to care for, neither crying nor fussing, much easier to handle than the other Imperial Heirs.
"Tao Hong, has Eunuch Chen come to see me recently?"
Tao Hong shook her head, smiling as she spoke.
"After Eunuch Chen went back, I heard he vomited for three days straight and couldn't eat anything.
Later, he lay in bed, claiming to be ill, and requested three months of leave from the Emperor. He probably won't be back for a while."
Shen Yulou was taken aback, not expecting Eunuch Chen to be so fragile; he had only eaten a bit of feces, yet he even stopped going to work.
Just as the two were chatting, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Lord Shen?"
Hearing the voice, Shen Yulou quickly walked out.
Seeing Consort Su standing outside the door, Shen Yulou said with some surprise.
"Her Highness Consort Su has arrived; why did no one announce it?"
Consort Su smiled, "I don't have any Palace Maid to serve me right now. I'm about to go home to visit my Parents, and before I left, I found some dried mushrooms in my box.
Consort Wan gave these to me last time. I'll keep half to take home to my Parents, and these are for you."
Sincerity was written all over Consort Su's eyes.
Although she was very beautiful, she held little sway in the palace and had no status whatsoever. She wanted to thank Shen Yulou but had no present worthy of giving.
This half-portion of mushrooms was the best thing she could offer.
Shen Yulou accepted the mushrooms and smiled at Consort Su.
"Thank you, Your Highness. These mushrooms are very good; some can be used as medicine.
However, Your Highness must remember that if you cook them to eat, they must be boiled for at least two quarters of an hour before eating, otherwise, they are prone to poisoning!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Shen. I understand."
Consort Su arrived at the Imperial Household Department, and a Palace Maid and a eunuch walked out.
Neither of them seemed to care much for Her Highness Consort Su, and their bows were very perfunctory.
"My name is Chen Qiang, and her name is Green. The two of us will accompany Your Highness on your family visit. The Imperial Household Department's carriages are insufficient, so please walk, Your Highness."
It was naturally impossible for the Imperial Household Department to lack carriages; it was just that these Servants judged people by their status.
If it were another consort, the treatment would definitely be different from now.
Consort Su didn't mind; having the opportunity to visit her family was already very good.
If it weren't for Shen Yulou's help this time, Her Majesty the Empress would not have granted her these three days off.
So Consort Su was grateful to Shen Yulou from the bottom of her heart.
In the entire imperial palace, he was the only good person she had encountered.
After leaving the palace, Consort Su was very happy, having not seen her Parents for a long time.
After becoming a Consort, she hadn't secured any benefits for her Parents.
Moreover, her elder brother hadn't been rescued, which made Consort Su feel a bit guilty.
Among other things, Graduate Zhang hadn't secured any official position for so many years, and their entire family blamed Consort Su for this.
After Graduate Zhang passed the Successful Candidate examination, he was also in high spirits.
However, after failing to pass the imperial examination for many consecutive years, Graduate Zhang became somewhat disheartened.
Nevertheless, a Successful Candidate could also apply for an official appointment, and Graduate Zhang's demands were not high; he just wanted to be an official.
But official appointments for Successful Candidate required waiting in line; he would only be chosen if there was an opening.
So many years had passed, and there was no news at all.
Graduate Zhang would curse Consort Su as useless every day at home, saying that after becoming a Consort, she couldn't even arrange an official position for him.
At this time, Graduate Zhang had just been kicked out of the Winery by Shen Yulou's father.
Graduate Zhang grumbled, "A Winery that doesn't sell liquor is just sick!"
Graduate Zhang staggered home, and as he reached his doorstep, he saw Consort Su.
Graduate Zhang rubbed his eyes, stunned for a moment.
"You wretched girl, why are you back?"
Eunuch Chen, standing nearby, coughed and said.
"Graduate Zhang, this is Her Highness Consort Su."
Graduate Zhang, fueled by alcohol, snorted.
"What Her Highness Consort Su? Do you look like a Consort in this state? Which Consort visits her family looking as destitute as you?"
Chen Qiang pursed his lips, thinking that this Successful Candidate, reeking of alcohol and disheveled, no wonder he had never held an official position.
He and Palace Maid Green turned their heads away; since no one was watching, he couldn't be bothered to interfere.
If it were another Consort, visiting family wouldn't be so unceremonious.
Consort Su said, "Father, why are you drinking so much?"
"Less nonsense, did you bring back any valuables this time?"
Consort Su handed over the parcel, "Father, let's talk inside."
The group returned home, and Graduate Zhang eagerly opened the parcel, frowning when he saw the jewelry inside.
"Is this all the money? What's this enough for?"
Consort Su asked, "Father, did you go to the gambling den? How could you go to such a place!"
She had heard others say that gambling dens were places that devoured people without spitting out their bones; no amount of money was enough there.
Graduate Zhang slapped Consort Su across the face.
"You stinky girl, after a few days in the palace, you dare to lecture your father?"
Consort Su covered her face, her expression somewhat grim.
Madam Zhang Liu walked out and said.
"It's hard enough for our daughter to come back once, why are you hitting her!"
Madam Zhang Liu pulled Consort Su into the inner room, and the mother and daughter talked for a while.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qiang and Green said.
"Green, let's not stay here; it's upsetting to watch. There's a tavern next door; I'll treat you to a drink."
Green also looked disgusted, "Let's go."
After they left, six burly men arrived at the Zhang family, kicking open the main door.
"Old Zhang, pay back the money quickly
