Chapter 256: Concubine Yi comes to add trouble
"Brother Eleven is sick?" Lu Pheasant couldn't help but repeat what the fourth princess said.
While counting the time in my mind.
No, historically speaking, Brother Eleven died of illness in July next year. How come it was more than a year earlier?
Or perhaps, this was not the time when Brother Eleven lost his life, but just another illness before his death.
"Why didn't you hear the news that Yikun Palace summoned the imperial doctor?"
The fourth princess lowered her voice: "Ms. Yi Fei is afraid that outsiders will think that Brother Eleven is getting sick because he is at the bottom of the selection test for Haha Beads. She cannot let go."
"This is not the tolerance a prince should have. That's why I dare not summon the imperial doctor too early."
"Besides, it's common for the eleventh brother to get sick. He's just taking the usual pills, so he'll be fine for the time being."
Lu Pheasant: "..."
I’ve heard of people hiding illnesses and avoiding medical treatment, but I’ve never heard of such a reason for not seeing a doctor out of fear of embarrassment.
It seems that the emperor's punishment of eleven days for embroidery is still useful, at least now he knows how to avoid being embarrassed.
The beautiful face of the fourth princess was full of worry: "It's just that the enmity between Yikun Palace and Yonghe Palace is getting deeper and deeper now. Brother Eleven will put almost all the faults on your heads."
"I don't know if Concubine Yi will come today. I'm afraid she will ruin your birthday party."
"I want to remind you to be careful."
Lu Pheasant was confused: "Isn't that the case? No matter what, Concubine Yi is the elder in the palace. Would she choose not to deal with me at this time?"
What she didn't say was that wouldn't it be better to choose another time later?
The expression on the fourth princess's face became very strange: "Ms. Yi Fei always only likes direct confrontation and disdains those secretive skills."
When Lu Fei thought about it, it fit the image of Concubine Yi who was favored when she entered the palace and rarely suffered any injustice.
"So, in order to cover up the fact that Brother Eleven is ill, I am afraid that Concubine Yi will definitely come over."
"And she will definitely do something weird, so that Empress Dowager De will think that she has vented her anger by coming here today, and she will not go against Yonghe Palace because of it in the future."
"This is also the...tacit understanding they have formed over the years."
This tacit understanding is also...something.
Lu Pheasant said sincerely: "Thank you to the fourth princess for informing me today."
The fourth princess's face softened a little: "Today is your birthday. Even Khan Ama wants to reward you, how dare I not come?"
The maid behind her handed over a small sachet: "This is a new pattern I have recently embroidered. See if Sifujin likes it?"
"Your craftsmanship has always been excellent. Thank you for taking the trouble."
The fourth princess looked around: "I have to go back. Happy birthday."
"You are the birthday girl today, don't let everyone find you."
Lu Pheasant looked at the shrinking figure of the future heroine.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Fourth Princess, your other world will come soon.
"Sifujin, why are you standing here?" Someone called her after him.
It was little Tong Jia who always had good eyes: "But you were a little frightened when you saw so many people?"
"It doesn't matter, I will accompany you to find Concubine De. This will save her a hard time."
Lu Pheasant was about to say no to this chameleon in the harem.
Fourth Brother's voice was as cold as spring water: "Don't bother Concubine Tong. I will escort Fujin."
Tong Jiashi chuckled: "If everyone didn't say that you, a young couple, are in love, I would be really troubled."
The fourth elder brother supported Fujin, and the couple entered Baoxia under the watchful eyes of everyone, and walked through the crowd to the presence of Empress Dowager De.
As the birthday girl, Lu Pheasant is also a junior, so she has to accompany anyone who speaks.
Moreover, more than half of the people did not sincerely wish her birthday, and the things they gave her were unsatisfactory.
Without "extra income", Lu Pheasant's life is boring.
Concubine De saw that Sifujin was tired of coping and said softly: "Sifujin is a little drunk. Yinzhen will help her inside to rest."
The young couple had a tacit understanding and quickly ran away.
After entering the Nuan Pavilion, they both sat on the four gentlemen's beauty couch carved with red sandalwood. The fourth prince approached her and said, "If Enie really saw Fujin's appearance last night, he must find another excuse."
It's rare for her to get drunk once, so she can't handle it, right?
Lu Fei glanced at the little beloved with beautiful eyes, leaning on the small square table with bare hands, pretending to be asleep.
Brother Si smiled again and closed his eyes to rest.
In a daze, he heard a sharp sound coming from outside: "Empress De Fei is very interested. Your nephew may be in which prison he is still being tried. It's a good idea for you to be busy celebrating Sifujin's birthday."
"They say people's hearts are biased, but now I have to believe it."
Lu Pheasant opened his eyes quietly.
It's Concubine Yi.
The fourth princess really had no plans left, and she really came.
Her appearance is still gorgeous and her words are still harsh.
The couple quickly went out to help Concubine De.
Concubine Yi immediately turned around and said, "Hey, the young couple are willing to come out of the Nuan Pavilion. There is no birthday party where the birthday star is hiding, and I am also open-minded."
Lu Pheasant lowered his head, feeling aggrieved: "Since Concubine Yi knows that it is the junior's birthday party, it doesn't seem like she is here to add to the excitement."
"Excuse me for being frank, but Concubine Yi seems to be here to cause trouble." The concubine Wang, who was standing next to her with a frightening belly, immediately answered.
Anyway, she is pregnant now, so if she can tell the truth before unloading the goods, Concubine Yi will not dare to do anything to her.
Concubine Hui's eyes glanced contemptuously at Concubine Wang's undisguised big belly, and she helped: "Concubine Wang pays more attention to Si Fujin's birthday than others, and she insists on coming here even with such a big belly."
The concubine Wang was not afraid at all: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Hui. The imperial doctor said that I am about to give birth, so I need to move around more to facilitate the birth."
"I had no intention of coming over originally. I didn't agree to the invitation, so I thought that Yonghe Palace was quite close, so I came over."
"I don't know if I'm not here. It seems that not many people are serious about celebrating Sifujin's birthday today."
Concubine Rong ate potato salad and said in a curious tone: "That's right. Concubine Hui, you can't eat potatoes and sweet potatoes. Wouldn't it be a shame to come to Yonghe Palace for the birthday banquet?"
As soon as Concubine Hui opened her mouth, who knew she would be ready?
Concubine Rong only knows how to eat, and she doesn't even look at her to see if the emperor will even look at her if she eats again!
She shouldn't pay any attention to it and let Concubine Yi make trouble on her own.
Seeing the "lively" scenes of the concubines with different expressions and different thoughts, even Lu Zhi, who didn't mind having too many melons, also missed the simple warmth of Yonghe Palace at this time last year.
Concubine Yi was even more unhappy, but she had never been happy when she came to Yonghe Palace, so she had to continue singing the opera.
"Si Fujin, you know, among these juniors, I treat you very well. I even want Wu Ge to be the son of the eleventh brother."
"Who knows, I am not destined to be your mother-in-law, and your brother is not destined to be your eleventh brother either."
"I forgot for a moment. Your brother didn't choose the Fourteenth Brother after all. Does he really care about the false accusations made by Concubine De's nephew?"
"Although that is the son of Concubine De's biological sister, I believe that Concubine De will not treat you badly. Just relax!"
As soon as these words came out, Wuya Mayanzhu, the mother of Aqi's mother who was attending the banquet, turned pale.
Even the well-educated Concubine De couldn't help but change her expression.
