Li Qian was so happy that she didn't sleep well all night when she learned that Concubine Li had let her into the palace.
She always wanted to thank Concubine Li properly, but because she couldn't enter the palace at any time, she put it down.
The next day, at dawn, Li Qian got up and asked her maid to dress herself up. After that, she picked out many things and took them to the palace for Concubine Li and the little princess.
Before getting on the carriage, Mrs. Li gave some more instructions before letting Li Qian get on the carriage.
Go to the palace gate, and the palace servants will lead Li Qian and her maid to Concubine Li's palace.
"Empress, Miss Li is here." Hua Rui came in to announce.
Concubine Li put down the painting sent by the emperor and asked Huarui to invite Li Qian in.
Before she could salute, Concubine Li smiled and said, "Miss Li, you're welcome. Sit down!"
Li Qian felt a lot changed this time, not just in appearance, but in the confidence that radiated from the inside out.
This is Yu Yiluo's most intuitive feeling.
"Thank you, empress."
[Sure enough, people will become confident when they find their life goals. Li Qian is living well at first glance. 】
"I heard that good things are about to happen between Miss Li and the Cai family. Seeing that Miss Li looks so good, I think it is really good things are about to happen."
In fact, if she hadn't heard her daughter's voice, she might not have helped Prime Minister Li.
After all, this is related to the happiness of a woman's life and cannot be determined based on a few words.
When it came to marriage, Li Qian showed shame on her face and nodded.
Then he suddenly became serious again.
"Mother, what happened last time was actually not a story, but..."
Li Fei interrupted her with a smile, "Marriage means the rest of a woman's life, so it's always right to be cautious."
"Thank you, Madam," Li Qian smiled sincerely, "Because of your words, I made the right decision. The Cai family treats me very well."
Her mother gave her a jewelry shop and asked her to learn to take care of it. Mrs. Cai knew that if she didn't understand this, she would ask.
At first she felt quite embarrassed, but after going there once, she found that Mrs. Cai was not just talking in a casual way, but really taught her patiently, and she learned a lot.
I also met Cai Ze when I went there. He was gentle and polite. He didn't look down on women who were in public like other scholars. Instead, he encouraged her.
"That being the case, I am relieved."
The two chatted casually some more. Li Qian remembered the gifts she had brought and asked the maid at the door to bring them over.
Yu Yiluo's eyes lit up when she saw the box, and she rolled around to see what it was.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusha, I want to know what's inside, and whether it's also a gift for me. 】
Li Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she went to pick her up as she rolled on the bed.
"Empress, this is a gift brought by my daughter to you and the little princess."
Li Qian opened the box as she spoke, "They are all new styles from my jewelry shop. I hope your Majesty likes them."
She knew that these things were rare in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the nobles who had seen all kinds of strange things in the palace, they were not worth mentioning.
"Miss Li sent these, doesn't the shop intend to make a profit?" Li Fei had no intention of accepting them.
It's not that I look down upon her, but I don't want Li Qian to lose money.
Li Qian pursed her lips and said, "Empress, I will definitely make money back, so just accept it!"
[Yes, money is earned, not saved. Mom, just accept it. 】
Concubine Li did not refuse any more, but picked up an exquisite Bu Yao and held it up to Yu Yiluo's eyes.
"Luo'er, do you like the gift from Miss Li?"
Yu Yiluo smiled with her mouth open and raised her hand to grab it.
Li Fei was worried about scratching her hand, so she put the jewelry into the box without letting her catch it.
"Thank you, Miss Li. Luo'er likes it very much."
Adhering to the principle that her things should not be taken for nothing, Li Fei asked the name of her shop.
There are the most women in the palace. If others see her wearing it, they can tell Li Qian's shop to let them buy it.
"It's called Pinzhen Pavilion."
Li Fei smiled and nodded, "What a good name."
[Mother is planning to advertise to Li Qian, and she also asked for the name of the shop. But based on my mother's appearance, if she wears these jewelry to walk around the harem, the sales of Li Qian's shop will not go up at all? 】
"Your Majesty," Hua Rui came over with snacks and looked at the paintings on the table, "Do you want me to put the paintings on the table away?"
[I almost forgot about this. Mother, show the painting to Miss Li quickly and ask her if she knows this person. 】
Yu Yiluo, who was attracted by the jewelry, thought of the business and wanted to stand up and grab the painting to show to Li Qian.
The painting was sent over by the tyrant later by Eunuch Cao. When he came over, he only wanted to have a meal and completely forgot about the painting.
"No, just bring the painting over."
Hua Rui took the painting and handed it to Li Fei.
Li Qian glanced curiously, and by chance, she could clearly see Granny Chang in the painting, and her expression changed.
How could Concubine Li have a portrait of Mrs. Zhang?
Yu Yiluo kept observing Li Qian, taking in her changes and feeling excited in her heart.
[Li Qian’s expression changed when she saw the painting, she must have seen Granny Chang. 】
"Miss Li," Concubine Li called out to her who was distracted, "What's wrong, do you know the person in the painting?"
Li Qian pursed her lips and did not speak immediately.
Knowing that she had concerns, Li Fei explained specifically.
"She is not a treacherous person. Miss Li doesn't have to worry about anything happening to her."
After hearing this, Li Qian told what she knew.
"She was originally Mrs. Cai's nanny. Mrs. Cai was busy recently, so she gave her to me and asked her to give me some advice."
[No wonder the tyrant’s people didn’t see Granny Chang, she was by Li Qian’s side. 】
Li Qian was curious about how Concubine Li had paintings of people close to Mrs. Cai, but she was afraid of violating some taboo, so she could only bear not to ask.
"This person was originally from the palace. Miss Li went back and told her that the emperor was looking for her."
...
Li Qian returned to the house and saw that she looked worried. Mrs. Li stepped forward and asked softly.
"Qian'er, what's wrong? I came back from a trip to the palace looking very worried."
Concubine Li is gentle and kind, so she will not embarrass Qian'er.
"Mom, I'm fine."
"It's okay," Mrs. Li felt relieved, thinking of the mother-in-law beside Mrs. Cai, and said with a smile: "The mother-in-law that Mrs. Cai asked to give you guidance is a good one. Looking at her grandeur, I don't know if she thought she was from the palace." noble man."
Just as he was talking, Grandma Chang, who had changed her name to Mrs. Zhang, knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"I still have something to do, so I'll go and get busy first. You guys can chat slowly."
Mrs. Zhang nodded towards Mrs. Li and said to Li Qian: "Miss Li, do you have anything to do with me?"
Li Qian retracted her thoughts. Even her mother felt that Mrs. Zhang looked like someone from the palace, but how could someone from the palace be in the Cai family?
There were so many questions in her mind.
"Mr. Zhang, I went to the palace today to see Concubine Li. I saw your portrait, so I told you about your stay at the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Mrs. Zhang's original smile dropped when she heard this, and she stared straight at Li Qian with a cold look that Li Qian had never seen before.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Li Qian sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Zhang, Concubine Li is not a bad person. She asked me to tell you that the emperor is looking for you."
