Concubine Xian asked a few more questions, but Concubine Li evaded the main point and could not get any useful words out of her.
"I came here today to ask for a favor."
Since she couldn't get anything out of it, Concubine Xian stopped asking.
"Sister, please speak."
"My sister knows that the Third Prince is a cause for concern," Xianfei sighed. "The Emperor has asked me to choose a wife for him, but I'm not very familiar with the noble ladies in the capital, so I'd like to ask my sister to help me choose one."
Concubine Li was surprised in her heart but did not show it on her face.
Before he could say no, he heard his daughter's inner voice.
[Mother, please agree to her promise. I'm so curious about what kind of wife she will help the Third Prince choose. Please, please, please agree to her promise.]
"Okay, I will go when the time comes." Concubine Li agreed helplessly.
[Oh yeah, Mom and I really are in tune with each other, that's awesome.]
Concubine Li agreed so readily that Concubine Xian was stunned. She told Concubine Li the time, stood up and left.
The two of them left Concubine Li's palace, and Concubine Xian's grip on the handkerchief gradually tightened.
Concubine Li was even more uneasy because she couldn't get anything out of her.
......
After Concubine Xian left, Nanny Zhang came forward.
"Is this Concubine Xian trying to trick the Empress?"
Concubine Li chuckled lightly and did not answer. She handed Yu Yiluo to Aunt Zhang and said, "Hold Luo'er while I draw a picture for her."
She spread out the rice paper, ground the ink, and picked up the brush to start painting seriously.
[Wow, this picture is so beautiful, beautiful women painting is too pleasing to the eyes! ]
Concubine Li almost dropped the pen in her hand, so she calmed herself down, ignored the little guy's occasional thoughts, and continued painting.
Not long after, she put down her pen and held up the rice paper in front of Yu Yiluo.
"Luo'er, take a look. Do you like it?"
She was vivid and lifelike in the painting, and an exquisite baby jumped out of the paper, allowing her to see her own appearance clearly for the first time.
[I love it, mom, you're so amazing. You drew it right on my heart. I'm so pretty. With my looks, I'm sure I'll be a troublemaker when I grow up!]
"The little princess is the most beautiful child I have ever seen, and your majesty is also very good at painting."
Nanny Zhang smiled and praised both of them.
......
Yu Yiluo drinks breast milk. She actually doesn’t like the taste of breast milk, but she can’t refuse it out of baby instinct.
Concubine Li always fed her before eating.
When Yu Yiluo's eyes returned to normal, Nanny Zhang advised Concubine Li to find a wet nurse to feed Yu Yiluo, but Concubine Li refused.
"Luo Luo, the Emperor is here to see you."
Yu Yiluo was held by Nanny Zhang, and her scalp tingled when she heard this.
Every time the tyrant said this, he was planning to take her out and force her to work and watch him handle state affairs.
[Didn't you come here this morning? Why are you here again? The tyrant must be trying to take me away again.]
The emperor almost stumbled when he stepped over the threshold. Hadn't he praised him this morning? Why was he looking down on him now?
But he was used to being looked down upon, so he pretended not to hear.
"I will take Luo Luo to the imperial study. Concubine Li, please continue with your meal."
The emperor simply carried Yu Yiluo away without staying for a moment.
"Actually, it's good that the emperor is taking the little princess with him. Your Majesty, you can relax a little." Nanny Zhang smiled and served her food, speaking softly.
When Yu Yiluo was carried out, she saw the big words "Imperial Study" and had only one thought in her mind.
She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.
[Hey, why is the Prime Minister here too? He looks so haggard, with dark circles under his eyes almost reaching his chin. Did he have an argument with the Prime Minister's wife and get kicked out?]
emperor:"……"
He took a closer look at the Prime Minister and found that he was indeed not in good spirits, but he had not noticed it just now.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with me?"
The Prime Minister adjusted his court robes and asked with some confusion.
He had been there for quite a while and thought the emperor would let him in, but the emperor came out directly and said that he had to go pick up the little princess first, and then he left past him.
Now she was staring at him for no apparent reason, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Come in!"
The emperor withdrew his gaze and walked in.
"What's wrong with the emperor?"
He lowered his voice and asked Eunuch Cao.
Eunuch Cao spread his hands and said, "You'll get used to it."
It wasn't normal for the Emperor to be with the little princess, but he was used to it.
"Prime Minister, do you have something important to discuss with me?"
Sitting on the chair, the emperor asked calmly.
"I would like to ask the emperor for a few days' leave."
The mess left by Li Jia, the rebellious daughter, has not been resolved yet, and the lady is so worried that she can't sleep well.
After all, they were the ones who broke the contract first, so they can't blame the Cai family.
"Take leave?" The emperor was a little surprised, thinking of his daughter. "Could it be that your daughter's marriage has not been cancelled yet?"
Prime Minister Li hesitated for a moment and nodded.
[The Cai family had already informed their friends and family that their son would be getting married this year. Seeing that the divorce date was getting closer and the bride was gone, they definitely wouldn't agree to cancel the engagement.]
Yu Yiluo subconsciously wanted to tell the Prime Minister to marry his other daughter to him, but all that came out was "wawawa".
The emperor had an idea in his mind. This matter was caused by the third prince, so he decided to help the prime minister!
Retracting his thoughts, he said, "This matter is caused by the Third Prince anyway. What did the other party say? I will help you with some advice."
"No, what advice can you offer? Kill the entire Cai family or force them to cancel the engagement? That's a bad idea. The Cai family is still quite useful."
Yu Yiluo was also stunned. Why don’t you discuss state affairs in the imperial study, but discuss matters in the harem here?
"Ah?" The prime minister didn't react for a moment. He looked up at the emperor, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"The emperor said he would help you with some advice." Eunuch Cao reminded.
Prime Minister Li hurriedly explained the whole story.
Yu Yiluo wanted to hold her forehead, but her hands were wrapped and she couldn't lift them.
[I'm impressed, truly impressed. One dares to offer advice, and the other dares to believe it.]
The emperor cleared his throat and said, "The Cai family wants a wife. Don't you have a daughter? Wouldn't it be nice to give her to them?"
Prime Minister Li showed a bitter expression, "It's not that easy, otherwise this old minister wouldn't be so distressed."
With Li Jia, the ungrateful person, in the past, how could Madam Li dare to send another daughter there? The daughter wasn't her own, and if she didn't go willingly, it would have the opposite effect.
The emperor knocked on the long table with one hand, thinking that there were still so many twists and turns.
"I heard that your wife's embroidery is very good. Why don't you ask your wife to come to the palace to meet Concubine Li? She wants to embroider a hat for the little princess."
[Wow, the tyrant still knows how to mobilize people. Asking the beautiful mother for help, this matter will definitely be successful. The prime minister in the book did exactly this, but unfortunately he failed to convince his daughter. The matter was resolved, but his daughter severed ties with them.]
Prime Minister Li understood the emperor's intention, and the gloom on his face disappeared instantly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will have my wife bring my daughter to the palace to see Concubine Li tomorrow."
