"Okay, okay, hahaha!"

"I never imagined that there would be such a courageous person in my harem!"

"Guards, bestow thirty bolts of brocade upon Wu Zetian!"

Wu Meiniang did not notice anything amiss upon hearing this. Not only did she not realize that the Emperor was angry, she happily stepped forward to express her gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your generous gift!"

After bestowing gifts upon Wu Meiniang, Li Shimin silently blacklisted her in his mind. He liked beautiful women, but such a ruthless woman was not among his preferred types.

"Li Jue, did I hit him too lightly?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue immediately cried out in pain.

"It hurts..."

"Imperial Physician, I need to go back to recover..."

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician hurriedly ordered someone to drag Li Jue back. Li Shimin followed, but after only a few steps, he whispered something to Zhang Anan beside him.

"Summon Xu Hui to accompany you!"

As Wu Meiniang and the others were seeing the Emperor off, they suddenly saw Zhang Anan turn around. They all looked at Wu Meiniang at the same time and chuckled softly.

"Consort Wu, it seems His Majesty has summoned you to accompany him!"

Wu Meiniang thought so too. After all, the Emperor had just bestowed gifts upon her, and she was currently in the Emperor's favor. The Emperor would surely summon her to accompany him.

However, Zhang Anan's words shattered her beautiful dream.

"Your Majesty summons Xu Hui to accompany you!"

"ah?"

When Zhang Anan said this, not only Xu Hui was stunned, but the other concubines were also stunned. Wu Meiniang was so surprised that she could fit an egg in her mouth.

How could this be? Why would His Majesty call her?

Wu Meiniang gave Xu Hui a meaningful look, unable to understand how this girl had attracted His Majesty when she hadn't done anything.

Only Xu Hui herself knew that the Emperor summoned her to accompany him simply because of his eldest grandson.

After all, among this group of people, he was the only one who had seen and taken care of the eldest grandson in Sanglin Village!

"I'm sorry, sisters, His Majesty has summoned me, and I must depart first..."

Go!

"Don't keep His Majesty waiting..."

Wu Meiniang watched Xu Hui leave in a hurry, her teeth itching with hatred.

Why didn't His Majesty summon me? Could it be because of what the eldest grandson said?

Yes!

Which emperor liked a ruthless woman?

Wu Meiniang grew angrier the more she thought about it, silently cursing Li Jue's retreating figure.

Li Jue!

I have no grudge against you, why did you try to harm me!
