Nanny Zhang frowned. The palace was full of people who changed their attitudes according to the situation. When they saw that the emperor did not come to the empress's palace, they began to feel embarrassed.
It is also possible that it was instructed by the Empress Consort Xian.
"Hua Rui, go down and rest first!"
Concubine Li looked at her swollen face and said softly.
Hua Rui retreated, and Aunt Zhang asked, "My Lady, what should we do?"
Concubine Li curled her lips. If she kept silent, these people would think she was easy to bully.
It’s okay for her to be wronged, but her precious daughter can’t.
"Mammy, go and invite the Emperor over and tell him I'm asking him to come and discuss what to do with the little princess's full moon banquet."
Yu Yiluo sucked her little hands, her heart leaping with joy.
[My beautiful mother is getting all worked up? She must be feeling sorry for me. It's true that mothers are the best in the world!]
When Concubine Li heard the sound, she went to pick up Yu Yiluo and touched her head.
"Don't worry, Luo'er, mother won't let you suffer any injustice."
In the past, she was alone and didn't care. She just closed the palace door and lived her own life. Now she has Luo'er, and the emperor treats Luo'er very differently. Others will definitely not let her live in peace.
......
Nanny Zhang walked through the long palace corridor to the imperial study, explained her purpose to the guards at the door, and asked them to come in and report.
One of them nodded, turned around and went in to report.
"Your Majesty, the maid from Concubine Li's palace requests an audience."
The emperor threw the memorial in his hand onto the long table, put his hands on the armrest of the chair, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What's the matter?"
Concubine Li was a non-competitive person. Other concubines would come to the imperial study from time to time to bring soup and snacks.
This was the first time she had asked someone to come over on her own initiative.
"To discuss the little princess's full moon banquet with you."
The emperor nodded and said, "I understand. I will go there later."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cao turned around and got a thicker piece of clothing for the emperor to wear.
I felt a little puzzled.
The emperor is really strange. He wanted to tie the little princess to his side before, but he refused to see the little princess for half a month, but he still sent the gifts.
I can't guess what he's thinking.
"Let's go to Concubine Li's palace."
The emperor put on his clothes and walked out.
On the way, I heard the voices of a group of palace maids and eunuchs talking.
"You know, I thought the little princess was favored before, but after just a few days, she's out of favor again. The emperor hasn't visited her for a long time."
"She's just a princess. It's been anticipated that even princes might not always be favored by the emperor."
"I used to envy those who worked in Concubine Li's palace, but now I'm a little glad I didn't go. I heard that the maidservants around her were..."
"Do you have the right to gossip about the master's affairs?" Eunuch Cao scolded several palace maids and eunuchs, interrupting them.
When several people heard the sound, they turned around and saw the emperor and eunuch Cao. They quickly knelt on the ground, almost scared to death.
The emperor glanced at them calmly and said, "Eunuch Cao, handle this according to the rules."
......
When he arrived at the door of Concubine Li's bedroom, the emperor gathered his outer robe, stopped the palace maid who was about to go in to report with his eyes, and walked in.
Concubine Li was teasing Yu Yiluo. When she heard Nanny Zhang's greeting, she raised her eyes, looked over, and stood up with a smile.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor stepped forward and helped her sit up at the round wooden table. Yu Yiluo's inner voice, lying on the bed, began to explode in his ears.
[Ahhh, you big pig's hoof, let go of my beautiful mother, why are you still holding her, you shameless bastard.]
Concubine Li subconsciously wanted to take her hand back, but the emperor held it tightly, with the intention of angering the little girl.
"Your Majesty, I will go and bring Luo'er here."
Concubine Li, who had freed her hand, turned around, picked up the little one on the bed, and told Aunt Zhang to make tea.
The emperor looked around Concubine Li's bedroom and saw no one else except the nanny who served her personally.
Thinking of the discussions of the palace maids and eunuchs, he couldn't help but ask.
"Concubine Li, where are the palace maids serving you?"
Furong was dealt with some time ago, and he originally wanted to send someone to Concubine Li, but was rejected by Concubine Li.
Concubine Li frowned and said, "She feels a little uncomfortable, let her go to rest."
[The maidservant was beaten, and the blow was not gentle. The harem is now under the control of Consort Xian. I don't believe this matter has nothing to do with Consort Xian.]
The emperor frowned slightly. After hearing Luo Luo's thoughts, he really wanted to take back Concubine Xian's right to manage the harem, but Concubine Xian had done nothing wrong at the moment, so it would be inappropriate for him to take back her rights for no reason.
On the one hand, he was also worried about alerting the enemy. Deng Feng was in charge of all the imperial guards in the capital. If he acted rashly against Concubine Xian, this person would be furious and attack him.
Nanny Zhang came in and poured tea for the two of them, then followed Concubine Li's instructions.
"Mammy, go light the charcoal. It's a little cold."
The nanny understood and turned around to light the charcoal.
"I am weak and Luo'er is still young. There is a lotus pond next to the bedroom, and the wind is quite cold. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Concubine Li picked up the tea and took a sip.
The emperor knew that babies and people who had given birth were afraid of the cold, so he didn't say anything. He raised his hand to pick up the tea, and then he felt a burst of thick smoke spreading, and the bedroom was instantly filled with smoke.
"Cough cough——" Nanny Zhang stood up while coughing.
"What kind of charcoal is this?" the emperor ordered in a deep voice, "burn it quickly to prevent Luo Luo from inhaling it."
Not to mention the children, even he, an adult, was almost choked to death.
After the charcoal was extinguished, the smoke in the bedroom gradually dissipated.
"Is there no charcoal in the palace? Why use this kind of charcoal?"
This kind of charcoal is obviously of low quality, and ordinary people find it too choking.
Yu Yiluo raised her eyelids.
[Of course there's charcoal in the palace. This is all part of a palace intrigue. Concubine Xian must be deliberately trying to embarrass Mother and humiliate the charcoal. Without her permission, how could anyone from the Imperial Household Department dare to hit Mother's personal maid?]
"Maybe winter hasn't arrived yet. Someone nearby went to collect it, and this is what the Ministry of Internal Affairs said."
Concubine Li paused and continued, "I used the remaining charcoal from last year, but I forgot that winter hasn't arrived yet."
The emperor's face became increasingly grim, and Concubine Xian couldn't wait to take action as soon as she took over the harem.
He knew better than anyone whether there was charcoal or not. These were just excuses to fool Concubine Li and to make things difficult for her.
"Eunuch Cao, go call the head steward of the Imperial Household Department, and also call whoever brought the charcoal to Concubine Li's palace."
Having achieved her goal, Concubine Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"Don't worry, I want to see who is so bold."
The emperor comforted Concubine Li, hugged Yu Yiluo, and pinched her chubby face before he felt a little relieved.
"By the way, I will have someone organize Luo Luo's full moon banquet, and make it grand."
Didn't these people say that the little princess had fallen out of favor? But he insisted on holding a grand ceremony to give the little girl face. Otherwise, Concubine Li looked so weak and vulnerable that anyone could step on her.
Eunuch Cao left and came back quickly, followed by two eunuchs when he came in.
One is older and the other is slightly younger.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
