In the past, if he had seen Concubine Li Gui looking so pitiful, he would have gone to comfort her and bullied her bullies back.
She was dressed so softly and weakly today. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that Concubine Shi Li wanted to make peace with him.
If he had followed Li Guifei today, he would have stayed at Li Guifei's residence at night.
He knew that this favor also meant that Concubine Li would return to the public eye and have a name in the harem again.
But as soon as Emperor Xuanwu thought of Concubine Zhen, who was slapped by her and broke his knees, and later was thrown into the cold palace because of her, his dislike for Concubine Li was already stronger than his love for Concubine Li in the past.
In the past, Zhenbi treated him heartily and deeply, but he didn't notice it. He just felt that she should treat him like this.
Now that Concubine Zhen was angry and ignored him anymore, he felt empty and uncomfortable in his heart.
He is not interested in the beauties of the harem or the important affairs of the government.
He hasn't seen Zhenbi's people for almost two months.
Doesn't he know how big her belly is now? Is Xiaoliu good or not? Did he kick his mother-in-law? Wouldn't Xiao Liu be happy if he didn't have him to tell stories to Xiaoliu?
Zhenbi said last time that she would be very scared when the baby moved a lot when she was a month older.
What now?
It was approaching the end of the year, and the child was already over six months old. It was about to be seven months old. Doctor Yan said that looking at Concubine Zhen's pulse, there was a high probability that she was pregnant with a little prince.
Does it hurt when his Xiaoliu kicks someone?
Didn’t Zhenbi hide under the quilt alone in the middle of the night and cry?
She was so timid, she must have cried.
Emperor Xuanwu gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, raised his head to face the roof, leaned his neck on the back of the chair, and sat in a posture he had never known before. It took a long time to open his eyes.
The pair of eyes as deep as whirlpools looked at the door firmly, making up their minds and even clenching their fists.
The heavy snow has not stopped, and the dark weather makes people feel depressed for no reason.
Concubine Li, who once scolded Wang Dequan for being a eunuch and a slave, acting arbitrarily and favoring the harem, now Concubine Li would also smile like a flower in front of Wang Dequan.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Li Gui said to Xia He: "Please come in and have a seat with the prince. Make a cup of Biluochun, which was newly rewarded by the emperor this year, and ask the prince to have a taste."
"Thank you, Concubine Li, for your kindness. I appreciate it."
Wang Dequan waved his hand with a smile: "I will not drink the tea. I will go and have a few words with Empress Jiang Zhaoyi. There is no one around to serve the Emperor. I have to rush back to Chengqian Palace!"
With that said, he bowed and retreated.
Xia He flicked the handkerchief and rolled his eyes: "You are a stinky dog who relies on human power. Your Majesty invites him to tea because she thinks highly of him. He is really showing off his skills. It's true that when a tiger falls in peace and a dog bullies him, he will always fall behind." That day is in our hands.”
With that said, she was about to pull off Wang Dequan's cloak and throw it away. She pulled it twice but didn't move it. She looked up at Concubine Li in surprise: "Empress?"
Li Guibi's fingers grasped the cloak, and the veins were exposed, showing how hard she exerted herself.
Her eyes were red, and she tried not to let her tears fall. Anger and hatred filled her chest: "Xia He, today is different from the past. I am no longer the concubine Li who controlled the wind and rain. One word difference is like Tianqi. My grandfather is no longer here, and my father is counting on me to survive at home. I can no longer be as willful as before and must learn to bow to reality."
What happened to the pickled dog’s clothes?
One day she puts it on, and the other day she takes it off.
When Wang Dequan came out of Jiang Zhaoyi's main palace, he could still see Li Guifei standing at the door watching him.
He was neither proud nor arrogant. He only felt chilled all over, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
It can be seen that Concubine Li is really different from the Concubine Li from before.
The scary thing in the palace is not the arrogant and domineering people who do evil things on the surface, but the smiling tigers who are really ruthless and murderous.
Jiang Xinyue also heard about what happened at the gate of her palace, and Magpie and Shuangjiang were talking about it vividly!
"Concubine Li is so embarrassed this time. She will go to pay her respects to the Queen tomorrow. I don't know how people will laugh at her."
"Poor people must be hateful. She plotted against our mother-in-law back then, but now it's her turn and she's acting pitiful."
"But then again, the emperor has doted on Concubine Li for more than ten years, how can he not love her anymore? Women in this harem, especially those who have fallen from a high place like Concubine Li, if How can we live without the emperor's favor?"
Magpie is not pitying Concubine Li, she deserves the retribution for hurting her master like that.
She just expressed her feelings because of what happened to Concubine Li.
The concubine Li in the past is the concubine Li today, so who will the concubine Li be in the future?
"Hurry up and stop saying a few words."
Shuangjiang looked at Jiang Xinyue's dazed expression, and pulled the magpie out of the door: "Are you stupid? Our lady is pregnant and sensitive, so what you said to her is not to make her think wildly. Is that so? Doctor Yan has said that worrying too much in the third trimester of pregnancy is the most dangerous, as it is easy to give birth prematurely."
Magpie slapped his mouth: "I didn't mean it, I just felt that the emperor...the emperor was too..."
Too callous.
Will she do this to her mother-in-law one day?
"Then it's not your turn to speak."
Shuangjiang lectured her with a serious expression: "There are other spies in Hexi Palace. If your words reach the Emperor's ears, you will lose your head, and you may even bring trouble to the Empress. From now on, you will put a doorknob on your mouth. Don’t reveal everything.”
Not only was there the spy installed by the empress of other palaces, but there was also Aunt Li, who belonged to the emperor.
"mother……"
Aunt Xiang was about to comfort Concubine Zhen, who was silently sad, but she suddenly saw a bright light in her dull eyes: "Xiege, Shuangjiang, you go to the imperial dining room and tell the senior manager that I have to prepare today's lunch by myself... …Why?"
She looked around, her beautiful big eyes full of confusion: "Aunt Xiang, where are the Magpie and the others? It's strange. They were here just now. I just thought about cooking, but why are they gone?"
Aunt Xiang: My mother tongue is speechless.
I talked to Magpie and Shuangjiang here for a long time, thinking it made her sad, but in the end, I didn't hear a word. That pretty little head was thinking about how to make delicious food all day long.
Her eyes were dull just now, and her sad and sad expression was because she was thinking about the dishes.
I am sad and sad because the kitchen equipment of the Yan Dynasty was limited, and the hot pot made may not be as delicious as later generations.
But when autumn came, Jiang Xinyue had already asked the senior manager to make two copper pots, just thinking about making hot pot in winter.
Better than nothing!
