Coincidentally, as soon as Xue Hengzhao and the others left Yuzao Palace, the emperor's chariot arrived.
Concubine Li Yingying stepped forward to see the driver. The emperor put his arms around her slender waist and said, "My dear concubine, do you want to have a late night snack? Today I sent many specialties from your hometown in Qingzhou, but I was so busy during the day that I forgot to come here. I just remembered it later, so don’t blame me.”
"How dare I compare myself to state affairs? Your Majesty remembered it just right." Concubine Li said with a smile, "It would be interesting if I could have a drink with His Majesty under the lamp! It would be great if I could have the king's peanuts. This thing is perfect for drinking."
"I'm afraid there are some," the emperor said, ordering people to bring all the things up, and then added, "There are also a few black-headed sheep. They will be slaughtered tomorrow and tomorrow. Ask them to make mutton soup for you to drink!"
Li Fei said: "The black-headed sheep in Qingzhou are best eaten in the dog days of summer. It is better to keep them for a while and wait until June when they are ready to be eaten."
The emperor said: "You can do whatever you say, it's all up to you."
All the food and wine were ready. Concubine Li personally held a jade cup and asked the emperor to drink. She said, "I see that your Majesty's complexion is getting better and better now. He actually looks younger than in previous years."
The emperor chuckled after hearing this and said, "Do you feel the same way? Recently, I feel more and more light and healthy, but my beard and hair are still half white, which is not as good as expected."
Concubine Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will be in the immortal class in the future, so naturally he will not be satisfied with the health of mortals."
The emperor said: "Now that I have a capable person like Qingque by my side, I don't have to worry about the future."
Concubine Li gave the emperor another dish, and the emperor asked her to try it herself.
Li Fei peeled a peanut for herself and put it in her mouth. As soon as she swallowed it, she couldn't help laughing.
The emperor said: "Is this peanut so delicious? It actually made you laugh."
Li Fei shook her head and said, "No, I remembered an interesting thing that happened when I came in, so I couldn't help laughing."
"Oh? What's the interesting story? Let me hear it and be happy." The emperor wanted to kill time with Concubine Li by chatting over wine, so when Concubine Li mentioned the interesting story, he also wanted to hear it.
"The words were a bit long. I didn't know it at first. I just watched the people below secretly talking about it, so I called them over to explain it clearly. They were still coy and didn't say anything at first.
Later, when I asked him harshly, he said that he didn't know where the rumor came from. It is said that the emperor's eldest grandson has special powers. He can not only know good and bad luck, but also predict blessings and disasters. What's more, the stars in the sky descend to earth to save the emperor and become an immortal. "
Concubine Li couldn't help but smile again when she said this, and continued: "That's fine, I think it was because someone praised the emperor's grandson for his spirituality in the Tian'en Palace.
But I don't know what fool said that the emperor's eldest grandson could soar through the clouds and turn stones into gold. When sleeping, it has to be tied to the cradle with a rope, otherwise it will fly to nowhere. With just a stretch of your little hand, whatever you touch can turn into gold. Ouch, the spread is really endless. "
The emperor had frowned slightly when he heard it before, but when Concubine Li said it, the emperor couldn't help but raised his head and laughed, and said: "What kind of nonsense is this made up by an idiot? If he touches anything with his hands, he can Turned into gold. That old man and his wife, together with me...everyone who hugged him, didn't they all turn into gold?"
Li Fei also laughed and said: "This is really dew without seeds, gossip without traces. I have never heard of such stories since ancient times. I told them not to follow along and make noise. They all say that rumors only stop at the wise. Do you think so too?" It’s probably impossible to think about it.”
"They are indeed stupid, but there are indeed few smart and enlightened people in this world. Even I am not enlightened enough, otherwise why would I still be wandering around in the world." The emperor said that he felt a little sad later.
"There is no one smarter than an emperor. There is no one in this world who is smarter and more enlightened than you, Your Majesty. But everything has its destiny." Concubine Li comforted her with clever words, "If Your Majesty really has no talent, how could Taoist Qingque come to you?" Where is your side?
I heard that Taoist Master Qingque had already said that your majesty’s destiny has not yet come, so you have to wait patiently. "
"My beloved concubine understands me," the emperor was deeply pleased, "but it would be best to put an end to the absurd remarks about the emperor's grandson just now as soon as possible. I will talk to the queen later and ask her to send someone to control her."
"I heard that the queen came in and violated the rules, so she probably didn't care about such trivial matters." Li Fei said lightly, "But I estimate that Concubine Fu is having a hard time these days! She has always been the most cautious. Now that such a statement is coming out, she can't explain it one by one, so she can only be secretly worried."
"Concubine Fu is an honest person and has always been cautious." The emperor had long thought that Concubine Fu was someone who did not cause trouble, but he was a little surprised by Concubine Li's words just now. "Why, are you actually talking to her now?"
Of course, the emperor remembered why Concubine Li was demoted. Regarding this matter, it was already rare that she did not add insult to injury. Instead, she wanted to speak justice for Concubine Fu.
"Oh, I'm not talking to her. I'm not that generous. But having said that, justice is always in people's hearts.
When I falsely accused her, I was also bewitched by the villain. And I only thought about His Majesty, so I pretended to make a fuss. Concubine Li threw herself into the emperor's arms and acted coquettishly, "Later, I learned from the painful experience. When I dreamed about it at midnight, how could I not regret it?"
However, I have been spoiled by Your Majesty. If I were asked to apologize to her in a humble manner, I would not be able to do it. "
"You are a sharp-tongued person who has nothing to do but is reckless." The emperor said as he scraped Concubine Li's nose lovingly, "You can be considered a wise man! Concubine Fu is not a narrow-minded person, even if you After being demoted, did she not cause any trouble for you?"
"That's true. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have said what I just said." Li Fei said and twisted her neck lovingly.
"Why is the queen always feeling unwell lately? I went to her palace yesterday and saw that she looked fine." The emperor said casually, "There are frequent troubles in the harem, so we should not take it lightly."
Concubine Li could tell that the emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with the queen in his words.
So he pretended to be unintentional and said, "I'm probably worried about the prince. I heard that the prince's headache has not healed yet. Moreover, what happened at the Queen's birthday banquet that day has not yet been clarified, and the Queen is also very worried."
The emperor then stopped talking and just drank and ate.
Later, Concubine Li personally served and washed her.
Concubine Li took advantage of the opportunity to tell the people in front of her: "Eunuch Zhang Ze will be keeping watch outside for a while. You must be more considerate and don't overwork Eunuch Zhang."
Everyone in front of Li Fei knew that she had intended to win over Zhang Ze, so they all agreed. (End of chapter)
