"Your Majesty, the seventh princess is angry and is making trouble in the house! The servants can't stop it. Can you go over and have a look?" The nun in front of the seventh princess came to Concubine Li in a panic.
"What's wrong with her? Didn't the imperial doctor say she needs to rest? What's the fuss about?" Li Fei asked.
"I heard that you didn't punish Ma Cairen and the others much, so the Seventh Princess became angry." The nanny said with a bitter face, "That's right, the Seventh Princess has suffered such a great injustice, and she is just waiting for you to make the decision for her! "
"No matter how great the grievance she suffered, can it be as great as the grievance I suffered? Am I still unable to do this?" Li Fei lowered her face and said, "The same goes for those of you who serve. Don't stir up trouble in front of her in the future. Yangzi, she might be better."
The mama didn't know why Concubine Li suddenly changed her temper. In the past, she was the most disgusted with Ma Cairen and the others, so she had to do something to embarrass them to feel better.
What's more, this time they are in charge.
Of course, Li Fei couldn't explain it to her, so she just said, "Let's go, I'll go over and take a look at her."
After saying that, he got up and went to the seventh princess's house in the backyard.
Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground and shattering.
The messenger hurriedly went in to report, "Empress Li Fei has arrived."
Although the seventh princess stopped beating things, she was still choking and sat there with a twisted face, refusing to greet her mother.
Concubine Li Shiran walked in, and the people serving the seventh princess knelt on the ground.
Li Fei said: "What are you making a fuss about? Do you still think your injury is not severe enough?"
"I don't want to get hurt. Why don't anyone give me justice?" The seventh princess said with tears streaming down her face again.
"What kind of justice do you want? In the end, if the trouble comes to the queen, it's not like everyone has a fifty-fifty share." Li Fei walked up and asked, staring at her daughter's face.
The seventh princess didn't wipe her tears, and let them fall down, saying, "I'm already hurt like this, why do I just punish a palace maid? And only let her kneel for two hours?
Why don't that mute and her bastard come to apologize to me face to face? I don't know when my mother-in-law became so bodhisattva-hearted. "
"It's all my fault for pampering you. Now that I think about it, it's my fault." Concubine Li did not scold her daughter. Instead, she sat down and took the seventh princess's hand and said, "Think about what our mother and daughter did before. Isn’t that too hateful? When we are down, I don’t know how many people will be hurt. Let me ask you, do you want to live like that again?”
When the seventh princess heard this, she couldn't help but think of the living conditions of the two of them after her mother was demoted. She couldn't help but shuddered and said, "I don't want to think about it anymore."
Although her status as a princess remains unchanged, because of her mother, many people have made her feel unhappy, both covertly and overtly.
"Yeah, people say it's a painful lesson. I used to have the same fiery temper as you, and I never wanted to rub sand in my eyes. If anyone offends me, I will definitely pay him back twice as much, so that I feel happy.
This life is pleasant. Is there ever a time when the mountains are high and the water is low? It's always good to have some escape routes. "
"But I am not willing to accept it." The seventh princess was not as thunderous as before, but her anger was still not calmed down, and she choked, "Why do you want us to be generous? This time they are obviously wrong."
Concubine Li wanted to persuade her again, but she saw the palace servants coming in in a panic to report that the emperor was here.
Concubine Li quickly ordered people to collect the broken porcelain pieces in the room, and then told the seventh princess to lie down quickly, while she went outside to greet the holy driver.
"The state affairs are so busy, why did your Majesty come here?" Li Fei asked softly.
"I heard that the Seventh Princess was injured by a fall, so I came here to have a look. What happened?" The Emperor held Concubine Li's hand and asked as he walked inside.
"Who is talking too much? How did it reach His Majesty's ears? It's not a big deal. I told them not to disturb anyone." Li Fei said.
"What are these words? How can you blame people for talking too much? How can a father not feel distressed when his child is injured? I heard that the trouble was with the Tenth Princess and the others?" asked the emperor.
"It's just a joke between sisters, it's nothing serious. Besides, she is the older sister, so she should be more humble and accommodating to the younger ones." Concubine Li changed from her normal behavior and did not speak ill of Ma Cairen and the others in front of the emperor, but instead defended them everywhere.
This surprised the emperor. He looked at her and said, "Why are you so sensible and tolerant now?"
Concubine Li lowered her head slightly, blushed and said, "Before, I was a concubine who was arrogant and ignorant. After some experiences, I regretted it.
Although I am not doing a good job now, I still have the heart to understand the difficulties faced by His Majesty and the Queen. If things can be kept small, they will never become big. This is all the result of His Majesty's influence. "
"I'm very relieved that you have such a big heart. It's best that Qi Yatou is fine. You must ask the imperial doctor to check her pulse more often. Whatever medicine you want to use, use the best, don't be stingy."
The emperor said and walked in. When the seventh princess heard that the emperor was here, she was only 30% sick, so she pretended to be very uncomfortable.
He greeted the emperor in a weak voice and struggled to get up.
"That's all, what kind of courtesy is there at this time? Just lie down! What do you think now?" The emperor said and walked closer to look at her.
"I'm worried about my father. My daughter feels dizzy and weak. The imperial doctor said she needs to rest for a while." The seventh princess said with tears in her eyes. "And my daughter doesn't dare to close her eyes. Once she closes her eyes, she feels like she keeps falling and she can't breathe." gas."
"You are frightened," the emperor said, patting her hand lovingly, "take some soothing medicine while you recover, and you will slowly get better."
"Father, am I going to die soon?" the seventh princess said as tears fell in clusters.
"Nonsense, how can a child die so easily? You will live to be a hundred years old." The emperor said.
"But the imperial doctor also said that if my wound gets water, it won't be good." The seventh princess said, "Father, I'm so scared. Can you stay here with me?"
"Your Majesty has state affairs to attend to, so it's okay to have your mother and concubine here to accompany you. You should be more sensible." Concubine Li stopped at the side.
The seventh princess stopped talking and just looked at the emperor eagerly.
The emperor was always partial to their mother and daughter, but now seeing that Concubine Li was particularly sensible and the seventh princess was really pitiful, he said: "Okay, okay, my father will be here with you these days. Don't be afraid of my good child, you It will get better soon.”
"As long as my father is with me, I am not afraid of anything." The seventh princess's tears were not dry yet, but she was already smiling.
Then the emperor rewarded him with many things.
Then the queen heard about it and sent people to bring things to comfort her.
At this moment, the Seventh Princess tasted the sweetness of taking a step back.
The next day, the emperor went to court.
Li Fei gently touched her daughter's forehead and said, "Good boy, we, mother and daughter, will be biting dogs in the future. A biting dog will easily stop barking.
Instead of bickering over corners, it’s better to take a long-term approach and catch the big fish. "
