602, eventful
Xu Shu clearly saw murderous intent in the eyes of the eldest prince, and the queen was still adding fuel to the fire, which would inevitably force the eldest prince to a desperate situation.
When the queen sat down, Madam Yuan took out the pair of warm jade wine glasses sent by the father-in-law Xing'an whom she carried with her and poured a glass of fruit wine for the queen. The fruit wine was also brewed by the emperor specifically instructed people to make it for the queen. Even the wine pot that served the wine was different from others.
When Meiren Li saw this, she shouted, "Is this cup of Empress the warm jade wine glass?"
Madam Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Li has such a good eye! The Empress uses a warm jade wine glass!"
Meiren Li smiled and said, "It must be given to the Empress by the Emperor! Last night, I heard the emperor ask Eunuch Xing to find the warm jade wine glass. I thought I was afraid that the Empress would hurt her body after drinking cold wine. The Emperor really loved the Empress!"
Meiren Li praised the queen and did not forget to hold herself! Last night she heard the emperor's order, wasn't she just telling everyone in disguise that the emperor was resting with her last night? In front of so many foreign women, she didn't feel so sexy. After all, she was from a small family, but she couldn't stand it!
After hearing this, the concubines were inevitably dissatisfied with her. They couldn't afford to offend the queen when she was pregnant, but a small beauty became arrogant when she was favored. She couldn't take the opportunity to kill her majesty?
The arrogant Concubine Li couldn't stand Li Meiren's rampant behavior and snorted, "The Empress is kind and kind, but Meiren Li can't forget the rules because of this? The emperor's sage is also something that we concubines can eavesdrop on?"
Meiren Li was stunned and said, "Empress Li, it was not because of the concubine's eavesdropping, but because of the concubine's incident. Besides, this is not an important matter. Why did the concubine forget the rules?"
Because the emperor and the Empress Dowager decided that Concubine Li and others should assist in the Six Palaces, the emperor felt that Concubine Li and others should be focused on the common affairs of the Six Palaces and had no time to take care of anything else, so he rarely went to Concubine Li's palace. Concubine Li was hating this, but she was said to Meiren in front of all the female relatives, as if she was mocking her for being unpopular, Concubine Li grabbed her and refused to let go.
"Today you just eavesdropped on such a small thing! Who knows what you will eavesdrop on the next day! Even if you really hear Meiren Li accidentally, it should be rotten in your stomach, instead of just spreading it out like this! If there is a big matter in the court that Meiren Li heard about one day, wouldn't it be known to everyone? Wouldn't this be a mess of the court's principles?"
"..." Li Meiren was so angry that she clearly didn't mean that. She was about to tell the difference, but suddenly she saw the queen shook her head slightly and gently lifted her chin to the emperor. Li Meiren understood and immediately knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, I am rude. I shouldn't have been so rude. I shouldn't have been eavesdropped on what the emperor ordered Eunuch Xing, and I shouldn't have said it casually! I know the crime, so I ask the emperor to punish me!"
"Get up!" The emperor waved his hand and signaled Meiren to get up. Meiren Li glanced at the queen and stood up obediently.
"I told Xing Anben not to avoid you, why are you guilty? Besides, I am not the uneasy person who will take the important matters of the court to the harem to say, Concubine Li is too worried!" It was just a trivial matter, but Concubine Li held on her and couldn't help but lose her demeanor. The emperor was dissatisfied with Concubine Li's calculatingness. In addition, in the harem, everyone knew that Concubine Li was recommended by the queen. Concubine Li was quite inconsistent with the fact that Concubine Li was a person recommended by the queen. Concubine Li was quite intimidated to challenge the queen's authority, so she directly hit Concubine Li regardless of the presence of all the court officials and female relatives.
Concubine Li stood up with a blushing face and apologized, "I am wronged, please punish the emperor!"
The emperor didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Li and ignored Concubine Li. Concubine Li became more and more unable to come to Taiwan.
Seeing that the emperor was trying to give Concubine Li a shameless person, Concubine Shu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Concubine Li, it has been more than a day or two for you to enter the palace. Why are you still so ignorant of the importance of speaking? Could it be that in Concubine Li's heart, the Emperor is such a person who is not a sensible person?"
Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui, Concubine Li, the three of them cooperated with the Six Palaces. Concubine Shu thought she was the biological mother of the eldest prince and was older than the other two concubines, so she should be the leader. But Concubine Hui and Concubine Li didn't think so. They were born in aristocratic families, and they were much better than Concubine Shu. Although Concubine Shu gave birth to the eldest prince and favored for more than ten years, they still looked down on Concubine Shu, who was born into a singer who was favored by her lowly skills in singing. Moreover, if the emperor and the Empress Dowager wanted to be the leader, they would specifically explain it. Since there was no explanation, the three of them were on an equal footing position. Concubine Shu wanted to be the general leader, but Concubine Hui and Concubine Li refused. In the past month, there were a lot of dirty things between the three. Seeing Concubine Li being scolded at this moment, Concubine Shu was willing to miss such an opportunity and immediately criticized him.
It was not a big deal, but it was enough for Concubine Li to learn a lesson. No one said anything about this matter, but at this time, Concubine Shu raised the matter that was already about to be settled because of her own personal selfishness.
After hearing Concubine Shu's words, the emperor was stunned and became a little displeased: It's a big deal!
Besides, when it comes to true, Concubine Li's words are at most an allusion, but Concubine Shu said it directly, which is more offensive than Concubine Li's words.
The Empress Dowager was about to speak for Concubine Li, but she didn't expect that Concubine Shu had already said that first, so she had to swallow the words of pleading again and glanced at Concubine Shu with a little reproach!
Even Concubine Li thought that this matter had passed, but Concubine Shu grabbed her and refused to let go, so she couldn't help but be secretly annoyed.
Concubine Shu stared at the expressions of everyone in a daze, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing. However, in front of so many people, she really couldn't afford to lose this face. She thought to herself that the emperor's heart was better than Concubine Li. Even if it was not for her and for the eldest prince, the emperor wanted to keep her face. So she made up her heart and blurted out, "Concubine Li's words are rude, which will damage the dragon's power! Please punish the emperor to warn the concubines in the harem!"
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu was so resolute and the emperor showed impatience. In front of the women outside, Concubine Shu was the one who didn’t know the importance of the matter!
At this time, the queen suddenly said lightly, "Concubine Shu is so serious!" She turned to the emperor and said, "Emperor, Concubine Li is a concubine at a young age. She has to spend more worries in everything, and she also wants to set an example for concubines with other status! She is the first time to assist in the Six Palaces, so it is inevitable that she is a bit harsh. Although she is a bit overcorrect, her original intention is good. The emperor will spare Concubine Li this time!"
Although the emperor deliberately beat Concubine Li, he had no intention of deposing her. Seeing that the queen gave her a step, he immediately followed her down, "Since the queen has pleaded for Concubine Li, that's all this!"
The Empress Dowager also spoke, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how can you let go of the beautiful scenery!"
The queen smiled and said, "What the Queen Mother said is that with good times and beautiful scenery and fine wine, how can you lack a beautiful woman!"
