"Your Majesty, this is the white fungus soup stewed in the small kitchen. Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, can drink it when he comes back later!"
Jinxiu brought the white fungus soup over, and seeing her beaming smile made her feel happy, as long as her master was happy.
"Don't be anxious. I'm afraid I have a lot of homework today. It's normal to come back late. What's more important is not to lose to the Queen's son!"
Li Fei put down her tea cup and couldn't help but laugh when she thought about what had happened in the past six months.
"Do you think it's funny or not? His Majesty brought back a woman from the people who looks similar to the Queen. Do you think this means the Queen was defeated by him?"
After saying that, I also felt funny. I couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle a few words. These things seemed ridiculous to outsiders. Have I been defeated by myself?
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. As long as Mrs. Qionghua doesn't look like the Queen, she might not be favored by His Majesty, let alone brought back to the palace. Now everyone has seen this, and it seems that this substitute has already Surpassing the Queen, after all, she is younger and cuter."
Jinxiu echoed, what she said is true, no one can see that the one that His Majesty likes most now is Mrs. Qionghua, even the Queen is cold to her.
"Being young and beautiful is a woman's greatest confidence. Did the queen think that this day would happen? She used to be somewhat proud in front of me. She thought she had gained His Majesty's sincerity. She thought they had no one else in their relationship as husband and wife for more than ten years. Replaceable.
But God has made such a big joke, and he can be compared to any woman, but not to himself when he was young! "
Concubine Li laughed and sighed at the same time. For a woman, old age and beauty are the biggest curse, even for the queen. She cannot compare with the younger and more beautiful Mrs. Qionghua.
"Mrs. Qionghua is only seventeen years old this year. She seems to be innocent and simple, even stupid and naive. With a temper like hers, how can she get so much tolerance from His Majesty? I thought she would pamper a few people. Forget it, I didn’t expect His Majesty to still like it so much after so long!”
Jinxiu was a little dissatisfied and felt unfair for her master. His Highness used to like the Queen the most, but now it is Mrs. Qionghua. When will it be their turn?
"If you like it, it's not a big deal. Your Majesty hasn't thought of me for a long time anyway. As long as the queen can feel the same pain this time, it will be a happy event!"
Concubine Li smiled disdainfully. Instead of seeing the queen being proud, she naturally hoped that she would feel the same pain of being alone in an empty room. Only in this way would it be fair!
"That's what the queen said."
Jinxiu nodded.
"Last time, Mrs. Qionghua was reprimanded by the Queen, and she felt aggrieved when she returned home? Your Majesty even went to complain to the Queen because of this matter. Since she has been so aggrieved, I naturally want to go and take a look!"
Li Fei smiled.
Qiong Hua has been staying at peace in his palace for several days. He was already suffocating after being ridiculed by Tao Yao last time, and His Majesty told him to calm down.
It was obvious that I had been wronged, but why did I only say these words to him? Why didn't I say it to the queen?
"What's wrong, ma'am? It's been several days, are you still angry?"
Cherry asked cautiously, wondering what was wrong with her master. He was dissatisfied with this and seemed to feel nothing was wrong.
"When I was living among the people, I couldn't imagine what life was like in the palace. But now that I have actually lived in the palace, I realize that it is nothing more than that! No one here except His Majesty likes me!
They all looked at me with such disdain and felt that I was not worthy of standing here, especially the Queen. She didn’t like me and looked down on me. How could I be happy? "
Qionghua bit her lip in grievance. She really felt extremely wronged. Isn't she His Majesty's favorite woman? Why do I still suffer so many grievances?
Normally, it's not like I don't know what the concubines are saying. They all say that she is pampered and arrogant, and that her little family is too angry to show off. But so what, haven't you won?
But it was really frustrating to be ostracized every day, not to mention the Queen taking the lead in looking down on me.
What are you dissatisfied with? Now that you have become the queen, do you still want to occupy your majesty's heart? How stingy!
"Madam, don't worry about this. Now you are the one who cares about His Majesty. They will naturally be jealous and will definitely say some mean words. If Madam minds, wouldn't it make them happy?"
Cherry comforted him and said that it was a very lucky thing to be sent to serve Mrs. Qionghua, because she was really loved by His Majesty, not just an ordinary person.
"Forget about the concubines, but I just can't understand the queen's attitude towards me. Why is the queen so petty? Why can't she tolerate me alone? She is very nice to other concubines, but she is so mean to me. not good?"
When it came to the most angry part, Qionghua pulled the handkerchief hard, feeling really aggrieved.
Cherry lowered her head, not daring to say anything else, because everyone could see why Mrs. Qionghua was so favored, and it was probably because of this that the queen would really mind.
In fact, the former empress was not like this at all. She was really generous and gentle, but it seemed to be different with Mrs. Qionghua. She seemed to really mind her presence.
"What is sister talking about?"
Hearing the voice coming from outside, Qionghua quickly shut up and said nothing more. Listening to the voice, he knew it was Li Fei, the only one willing to be nice to her.
"Why are sisters Li Fei here today?"
Qiong Hua quickly stood up to greet her. After all, among so many concubines, only Concubine Li was willing to talk to him and give him a good look.
"Before I came in just now, I heard my sister complaining. What happened to her? Your Majesty loves you so much. Who else dares to bully you?"
Li Fei held Qiong Hua's hand that was about to salute, and they sat down together, with Tao Tao pouring tea beside her.
"I didn't expect that it made my sister laugh. I just said a few words to myself. Except for my sister who was willing to say a few words to me, none of the other concubines wanted to pay attention to me."
Qiong Hua shook his head helplessly. It was impossible to see His Majesty all the time in the palace, and no one except His Majesty could say these words. As time went by, it naturally became boring.
Concubine Shu, in particular, looked down upon herself when she was close to the queen. She often made sarcastic remarks, which was really annoying!
"It's okay, but it's really pitiful to see my sister alone in the palace. The situation in the harem is like this. The big tree attracts the wind, and my sister is being pampered now, isn't she becoming a thorn in their side?"
Li Fei smiled and patted Qiong Hua's hand and comforted her softly. Seeing the other person's fair and tender face, she was really moved.
Sure enough, she is a young girl. People of their age are really incomparable. Even if she is smeared with thick makeup, her face still has the traces of time.
Especially this young girl doesn't know how to hide her emotions. She shows her emotions directly on her face. When she's happy, she smiles. When she's unhappy, she lowers her head and bites her lips in aggrieved manner.
Although he is stupid sometimes, he is also stupid, cute and childish. No wonder His Majesty likes him more and more, and she even likes him more than the Queen.
"It turns out that the people in the harem are so scary, but I feel that all this is clearly the queen's intention. She doesn't like me, so how dare those concubines get close to me!"
Qionghua bit her lip, blaming the queen both inside and outside her words.
In fact, the queen minded her existence, so how could she not mind the queen?
Their faces are 70% similar, but the queen is old, and she can't hide the tiredness in her eyes. She is almost thirty years old, how can she compare with her?
"My sister is young and ignorant. You can't talk nonsense in this palace. Even if you know clearly what is going on in your heart, you can only hide the words in your heart and cannot say them out. Do you understand?"
Li Fei seemed to be frightened, and quickly tried to dissuade her in a low voice, but she seemed to agree with this sentence.
"Sister Li Fei is still kind to me and willing to talk to me so much. I think Sister Li Fei is the only good person in the palace!"
So I dare not say such words again, but Qionghua is still unconvinced after all. Who wants to suffer so many grievances for no reason?
"Okay, okay, sister, don't think about these things anymore. It will be the Queen's birthday in a month. Have you thought about what kind of gift you will give her then?"
Li Fei raised her eyebrows and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"No matter how good I prepare something, the queen won't look at it. She doesn't like me in the first place, so how can she like what I prepare?"
Qionghua was extremely irritated, why were there so many rules in the palace, but the queen was the biggest, and she could only listen to her in everything, even if she wanted to say a few words in private.
"Sister, you are wrong. Regardless of whether the Queen likes it or not, our concubines still need to prepare the things we should do and the gifts we should prepare carefully. Otherwise, the Queen will blame you, and then it will be It’s a troublesome thing, does my sister really want to make the situation like this?”
Li Fei sighed and persuaded her kindly. When she saw Qiong Hua's frown getting deeper and deeper, she couldn't help but smile.
What a stupid little girl. She can feel truly angry and happy just by saying a few words.
This is the advantage and disadvantage of being young.
"Sister Li Fei is right, but I thought wrongly. If the Queen blames me for this matter, then I can only admit that I am unlucky. But sister just reminded me that I still need to do what I should do well. I made it, but I don’t know what the Queen would like, and I’m such a mess that I can’t even think of anything.”
Qionghua was irritated and helpless. It was really a torture to prepare a birthday gift for someone who was so annoying. What's more, he had no idea at all and didn't know what to prepare.
That's the queen. What good things have I never seen before? She still lacks these gifts of her own, but it's not good if she doesn't do it. Even if she just pretends, it's good.
"I looked at the sapphire bracelet on your dressing table and it seems to be very good. Looking at the texture, I can tell that it is high-quality jade, so it can be considered as good."
As Li Fei spoke, she glanced in the direction of the dressing table. When she came here, she accidentally saw this bracelet, a sapphire bracelet, and remembered that it had appeared on another person's hand many years ago.
If she presented this sapphire bracelet on her birthday, wouldn't it remind her of the bracelet from back then? Memories of the past would come flooding back to her. I wonder if she could still be happy?
