She didn't know how long she had waited, but just as she was pondering whether she should take the initiative, a message finally came from the door that Emperor Yong had arrived.
Then after the communication sound ended, Emperor Yong came to Li Guiren's house surrounded by a large group of people.
When Li Gui heard the sound of communication, he naturally stood up and went to greet him. When he arrived in front of Emperor Yong, Li Gui bowed respectfully.
"I send my regards to your majesty. May your majesty be blessed."
The attendant's candlelight and the lights not far away shone on Li Guiren's face. Although she had tried her best to dress up as usual, nothing could hide the fatigue in her eyes and the paleness on her face.
Fortunately, Lady Li is young now, and she is born with a good color, so her haggardness and paleness are just like a delicate flower falling on a branch in people's eyes, which for nothing makes people feel a little pity. .
It was December, approaching the end of the year, and the temperature was getting colder. When Emperor Yong saw her coming out, he quickly held her hand and said, "It's so cold outside, what are you doing outside?"
After being caught by Emperor Yong's hand, Li Guiren's beautiful eyes were only in front of Emperor Yong.
"I am an ominous person. I can't even protect my children. When I heard people say that I am an ominous person like me, Your Majesty will definitely be unhappy in the future. Your Majesty will definitely not love me anymore. In my heart, I Uncomfortable."
After saying this, the noble lady just took the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes again, which could be regarded as crying for once.
I have to admit that she does know how to make people feel pitiful.
Emperor Yong hugged Li Guiren and said softly, "How could I not care about you? You are my concubine. I didn't come over today just because I was busy with business, and you have to take good care of yourself."
Hearing Emperor Yong's words, Lady Li smiled a little, "Your Majesty said so."
The two then walked into the house while talking.
While going into the house, Li Guiren did not forget to apply eye drops to Concubine Qi.
She just whispered, "Your Majesty, did you just go to Sister Qi Concubine's house? Although Sister Qi Concubine doesn't like me, I thought that Sister Qi Concubine didn't do it on purpose, so I still invited you." Your Majesty, please don’t be too embarrassed with Concubine Qi, it’s nothing for my concubine to suffer this much.”
Hearing Li Guiren's words, Emperor Yong didn't know what he was thinking. He just whispered, "You are kind, so I will follow you and not punish her severely. I will only fine her one month's salary and let her reflect on it." That’s all, this can be regarded as accumulating some virtues for the dead little prince’s future life.”
What Li Guiren originally said was just to make retreat in order to arouse Emperor Yong's pity for her, and by the way, make Concubine Qi even more disliked by Emperor Yong.
However, she didn't expect that her behavior would not make Emperor Yong feel any pity for her.
On the contrary, Emperor Yong listened to her words and just followed her words.
Naturally, she didn't believe that Emperor Yong was really trying to save her child from death.
After all, before he came, she heard her spies coming from near the Winter Palace to inquire about information.
It was clear that when Emperor Yong left his palace, he went to settle accounts with the people of Dongzang Palace angrily.
Looking at Emperor Yong's momentum at that time, she thought she was safe this time, and Concubine Qi would definitely be dismounted by her.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yong left the Winter Palace without bringing anything out.
Not even a single cry came out of the palace.
Therefore, Concubine Qi was not punished at all.
She really didn't understand what methods Concubine Qi used to avoid being punished.
After all, Emperor Yong had no feelings for her.
And what she harmed was the emperor's life.
Just when Li Guiren was puzzled, another announcement came from the door.
"Concubine Qi is here."
Before Lady Li could say anything, Emperor Yong suddenly said, "Let her come in."
The person announcing at the door only responded with a yes.
In just a few moments, Concubine Qi led her maid into Li Guiren's room.
Li Guiren's room is not usually cramped, but today, Concubine Qi's people and Emperor Yong's people came together, and the room was completely crowded.
The size of the child has more than doubled.
Concubine Qi is still the same as before, she only looks worried, and Hibiscus next to her is carrying a food box for her.
It wasn't until she saw Li Guiren and Emperor Yong next to Li Guiren that she seemed to have come back to her senses.
At this time, Li Guiren finally saw Concubine Qi clearly. Concubine Qi looked like she had been punished at all.
Thinking that her plan had failed and that the Phoenix Seal was still in the hands of this incompetent woman, Li Gui couldn't help but feel like she was biting her teeth.
Concubine Qi only asked Emperor Yong for his blessing.
After Emperor Yong asked her to stand up, she only glanced at Emperor Yong quickly, and then her eyes turned to Li Guiren.
For some reason, Li Guiren not only saw fear and anxiety in her eyes, but also seemed to see some pity and sympathy for her.
She really hates this woman, but Emperor Yong is here. Even if she hates Concubine Qi, she can only make a smile and take the initiative to call out affectionately, "Sister, what kind of wind has brought you to me." "
Concubine Qi said nothing.
Instead, Emperor Yong said, "I asked her to come over in person to apologize to you."
Hearing this, Li Guiren didn't feel anything was wrong. She just whispered, "I can't bear my sister's apology. Besides, this is my own carelessness. How can I blame my sister?" @
Seeing that Li Guiren pretended to take her responsibility, Concubine Qi quickly said, "I still have to apologize to my sister. It was also my negligence. I also ask my sister to forgive me for my carelessness."
Hearing Concubine Qi's words, Li Guiren, who was best at pretending to be well-behaved, just smiled and said, "What did my sister say?"
Concubine Qi did not answer. She only took a rosewood food box from Hibiscus's hand, and then she raised the food box to Li Guiren with some embarrassment, "I know that my sister is injured. I made these pastries myself. Please sister, please forgive me."
While speaking, Concubine Qi had already opened the food box in her hand, and then the pastry was exposed from the food box.
I have to admit that Concubine Qi's pastry making skills are very good. The lotus, carp, rabbit and radish in the box are all so lifelike that it makes people happy to see them.
After all, this beautiful lady was not very old. When she saw these things, she felt unhappy in her heart. She just smiled and said, "What a beautiful rabbit."
As she spoke, she took out the rabbit from the food box.
Seeing Lady Li take out the rabbit cake, Emperor Yong just smiled and responded, "Of course this rabbit is beautiful. Concubine Qi's hands are famous for her skill."
When Emperor Yong praised Concubine Qi, Li Gui felt a little uncomfortable, but she still pretended to be innocent and said, "It seems that His Majesty liked my sister's skillful hands back then, right?"
Emperor Yong had no intention of refuting her question, "Yes, the things she makes are more than just beautiful. You should try it."
After listening to Emperor Yong's words, Li Guiren took a small sip. She originally only planned to take a small sip, but when she actually put the thing into her mouth, she was unwilling to stop.
Unknowingly, she actually took the whole rabbit cake into her mouth.
I have to admit that Concubine Qi's craftsmanship is really skillful. Now it seems that although Emperor Yong doesn't like Concubine Qi very much, the two of them are not without feelings. If not, how could Concubine Qi have a fourth prince.
Now Emperor Yong doesn't want to see her, maybe it's because she's old and has lost her beauty, and the fourth prince is really unworthy of the Sacred Heart.
Thinking of the fourth prince, a mocking smile appeared on Li Guiren's lips.
Then she raised her white lotus-like smile and said, "Sister Qi Fei's hands are indeed very skillful. Your Highness must have inherited her skills."
Hearing Guiren Li's words, Concubine Qi's face instantly turned pale, and she glanced at Emperor Yong cautiously.
Sure enough, after Emperor Yong heard these words, he lost his old love for Concubine Qi.
He just waved to Concubine Qi with a cold face and said, "You go down first. Li Guiren has accepted your apology."
Concubine Qi didn't have much to say, so she just said yes.
However, Lady Li suddenly turned around and said to Emperor Yong, "Your Majesty, the cakes made by my sister are really delicious. Can I also ask my sister to make cakes for me in the future?"
Hearing Guiren Li's words, Emperor Yong's face only showed a smile that looked like a funny little bird. "What do you want me to do? You should ask Concubine Qi directly."
After hearing this, Li Guiren raised her delicate face and said with a smile, "Sister Qi Fei, can you make cakes for me in the future?"
As soon as he said this, it was obvious that he was insulting.
After all, even if Concubine Qi is not a queen, she is still a high-ranking concubine. This noble lady is many levels lower than her, but now she wants a high-ranking concubine to give her cakes. Doesn't this mean that all the rules have been broken?
However, Concubine Qi was not worried about this. She only glanced at Emperor Yong cautiously. Emperor Yong still had no instructions, but she knew that Emperor Yong wanted her to do this.
She really couldn't understand why Emperor Yong used such methods against Lady Li since he indulged her so much.
The pastry was filled with medicinal powder that Emperor Yong had previously asked the chamberlain to give.
After Li Guiren ate this pastry, she was afraid that she would never have a child again.
A beloved concubine without children is like a rootless flower.
From now on, her fate can only be in the hands of others. Emperor Yong is not dead. If she doesn't commit suicide, Emperor Yong may still be able to keep her in a golden cage. But what happens after Emperor Yong is gone? What can she rely on?
When she thought of this, she felt more sympathy for Lady Li. She knew what Emperor Yong meant, so in order to make Emperor Yong happy with the canary in his palm, Concubine Qi only whispered: "Sister, if you like , I will just come and deliver cakes to my sister every three days from now on, but although these cakes are good, they are easy to get angry, so my sister should still eat them in moderation."
Hearing what she said, Li Guiren immediately smiled with crooked eyebrows. She was very satisfied.
Although she didn't get the Phoenix Seal, she had the upper hand over Concubine Qi in this matter.
