Duan Li thought of this and quickened his pace towards Yilan Palace.
In the Yilan Palace, Ling Wanying looked at the rewards in the palace. She moved lightly with her lotus steps, stroking the huge pearls and precious Shu brocade with her slender and soft fingers. Aunt Li was behind her, looking at the treasures and the white and delicate catkins. She was inseparable for a moment. Which one is more beautiful?
She had thought that Concubine Lan would be favored, but she did not expect that she would be so favored, even three points more favored than Concubine Rou.
Ling Wanying was a little happy. She told the palace attendants beside her: "Your Majesty treats me so well. He not only stays with me every day, but also personally selects gifts for me."
Looking at Lan Bin, who was as happy as the warm spring sun, Aunt Li stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty treated Concubine Rou well yesterday, and treats you well today. He may not treat others well tomorrow. Flowers bloom in the emperor's house." In the competition for beauty, no one can say for sure whether your Majesty will abandon the orchid and fall in love with the burning peach blossom."
Hearing Aunt Li's words, Ling Wanying seemed to have lost all her life. The light in her eyes, as bright as the falling stars at night, disappeared, and the original joyful expression was completely covered up. She said in a low voice: "Yes, His Majesty has so many concubines, I am not as good as all of you." My sister’s beauty is not as good as that of Sister Li’s talent, nor is it as beautiful as Sister Shu Fei’s. I am so inconspicuous, I’m afraid I will be forgotten by Your Majesty in a few days.”
After speaking, the long black eyelashes slowly drooped, casting little shadows on the white and tender skin. Aunt Li looked at it and felt that her words were too much. She also thought that she could live happily every day, so why bother about what has not happened? What about troubles?
He took a step forward and said distressedly: "But your Majesty has deep affection for the empress at this time, and your majesty treats the empress differently. Your Majesty, you have been named concubine for the first time, and you are the only one with the title of palace master in the palace. In the past few months, Come, your majesty spends time with your concubine every day and neglects the other concubines. This shows that your majesty is particularly partial to your concubine. How can he be the same as other favored concubines?"
"Does Your Majesty have a particular preference for me?" Ling Wanying seemed to believe Aunt Li's words. She looked at Aunt Li with innocent and dependent eyes like a young deer. Seeing Aunt Li nod, she finally smiled.
The innocent empress believed her lie, which made Aunt Li uneasy. Men have been so unlucky in ancient times that even down-and-out scholars would dream of rich families, fairies and mountain spirits in the article, trying to embrace her from left to right, let alone the one who has the world. What about the emperor?
After all, not all emperors are like the last emperor of the previous dynasty and the first emperor of this dynasty. They are willing to win the same person and stay together forever.
But after thinking about it, Aunt Li still couldn't bear to break Ling Wanying's sweet dream. She only hoped that the dream would last longer and His Majesty would be gentler when he left, and not let the weak and kind-hearted Lan Bin fall into the same trap as Su Meiren and An Xuanshi. situation.
"Your Majesty is so beautiful and delicate, and she is full of affection for Your Majesty. His Majesty is very happy when he sees your Majesty. How could he be attracted by other flowers?" Su Jin stepped forward to coax.
Aunt Li looked at her and saw that the empress had a simple temper, so she was able to smile happily after being coaxed by her and Qingye.
Qingsu didn't say anything. Although His Majesty stayed at Yilan Hall every day in the past few months, and even though His Majesty was unwell, he did not leave and stayed with her tenderly, but she just felt that Her Majesty was wronged.
In addition to the empress, your majesty has many beauties, but the empress is the only one who is your majesty. When she goes to the queen's palace every month to pay her respects, the concubines speak harshly to the empress, and only concubines protect her.
Even though she was bullied, the empress thought that His Majesty was tired and did not want to cause His Majesty any worries, so she never complained. Feeling distressed, Qingsu could not help but feel angry at the Emperor who was the culprit.
"Ever since I was rescued by Your Majesty in the forest, I have been praying to the gods and Buddhas every day to give me the opportunity to be with Your Majesty forever. Now that I have been able to be closer to Your Majesty, I think that I am the only one beside him, and he only thinks of me. It can be seen that, I also have greed.
But now I have figured it out. Even if His Majesty has flowers that he likes more, I will not complain. Being able to come to His Majesty is already a blessing from the gods and Buddhas. I can't ask for too much.
As long as His Majesty is happy and as long as I can still see Your Majesty, I will be content. "
Aunt Li was shocked when she heard Ling Wanying's confession. She held back the sigh and thought to herself, what a pitiful person. Although His Majesty is sentimental, he is also ruthless. Empress Lan is so infatuated that she is afraid that It's about being let down.
Duan Li was also shocked. He knew that Ling Wanying was in love with him, but he didn't expect that she would be so in love with him that she would take his joy as joy and his sorrow as sorrow.
Duan Li thought that he looked down on a woman who put all her emotions in the hands of one person, but when she really experienced it, she realized that it was fortunate that she was in love with me, otherwise, he might be jealous.
Duan Li was startled by the thoughts that came to his mind. He walked into the palace and faced Ling Wanying's surprised look, feeling unusually satisfied.
Su Jin withdrew from the palace as usual, but this time, she actually spoke to Manager Cui who was beside Duan Li.
When he learned from General Manager Cui that the emperor had set up an organization that only obeyed him, and that Beizhen Fusi, with Qi Zhongjing, the eldest son of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, as the commander, his eyes flashed. It was not Ling Wanying who was trying to sow discord between the emperor and the queen mother this time.
In the house, Duan Li hugged the beauty and saw the book on the beauty's table, which was the story of "Zheng Burke and Duan Yu Yan" in "Zuo Zhuan". His expression moved slightly, and he asked amidst the fragrance of lotus flowers in the room: "What if it's Ying?" In the future, Ying'er will have two children, one always by her side and the other sent outside the palace. Will Ying'er dislike the eldest son outside the palace because of the younger one who is always around?"
Duan Li's original intention was to know if there is no fairness because people's hearts are biased?
Although the queen mother never said anything about asking her to make Anyang the emperor's concubine, the things she asked Anyang to learn were already beyond what an ordinary boudoir girl could learn.
After the death of his father, the Queen Mother was left with Long Yin Guards, and the military talisman was also in the hands of the Queen Mother. Even the Supervisor of Ceremonies, after Zhang Qi's death, became the Queen Mother's Yitang.
Zhang Qizhi's death has not yet been discovered, so Duan Li's recent actions have become more serious. Fortunately, his cousin supports him.
Duan Li was a little disappointed when he couldn't hear Ling Wanying's answer for a long time. He thought that the beauty in his arms had become pure. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt the coldness on the back of his hands. When he raised the beauty's face, he realized that Ling Wanying had shed tears at some point.
The crystal clear tears were like broken pearls, each one distinct, sliding down from Ling Wanying's delicate skin. The beauty was crying, which was heartbreaking.
What's even more heartbreaking is that the beauty looked at him aggrievedly, her voice weak and broken, "Does Your Majesty want to send my concubine's child outside the palace?"
Duan Li's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes looking at Ling Wanying became more and more serious, "What if?"
"I don't know, but I'm probably very sad. When I was in the countryside, my heart ached every time I was separated from my mother. No mother can send her children away from her." Ling Wanying's eyes were blank, and she looked at Duan trustingly. Li said: "But if Your Majesty does this, there must be your Majesty's reasons. I believe in Your Majesty."
Duan Li should have scolded Ling Wanying for sending her son away in order to please her husband. What was the difference between this and his mother-in-law.
But it was him who was the husband, which made Duan Li unable to speak anymore. Seeing Ling Wanying's tears kept flowing, Duan Li said softly: "Why can't I stop crying?"
"I don't know, but when I think that I will have a child with Your Majesty, but have to be separated from that child, my tears won't obey."
Ling Wanying's childish words made Duan Li laugh. He kissed her and found that Ling Wanying's tears for him were sweet.
But Duan Li, who kissed away the beauty's tears, didn't see her so-called fragile beauty who was obsessed with him. He couldn't see the corner, his eyes were full of disgust and impatience.
