After returning home, Prime Minister Li went to Madam Li's yard with a smile on his face to look for her.
Seeing his smiling face, Mrs. Li asked in surprise.
"The Emperor has granted you leave, Master? You look so happy."
Recently they have been very worried about Li Jia's divorce, and the master has also lost a lot of weight.
"No," Prime Minister Li sat down on the chair, took a sip of tea and then explained with a smile, "The emperor asked you to bring Xi'er to the palace to see Concubine Li tomorrow."
Madam Li didn't understand at first, but after seeing the Prime Minister so happy, she finally understood and said in disbelief, "Could it be that Concubine Li has some idea?"
"Since the emperor said so, he must have his own intentions."
Prime Minister Li patted his wife's hand and said, "I'm sorry you've been wronged by Li Jia's matter. I'll talk to Xi'er about entering the palace."
......
In the palace.
The emperor dealt with the prime minister's matter and had no intention of sending Yu Yiluo back. He stood up and looked at Eunuch Cao.
"Go to the Xianfei Palace."
Eunuch Cao followed him, feeling puzzled.
Why bring the little princess to the virtuous concubine's palace?
The virtuous concubine's bedroom was not too far from the imperial study, and it only took a short walk to get there.
"Your Majesty, how about I help you hold the little princess?"
The emperor didn't even look at Eunuch Cao. "Do you think I'm old? There's no need."
Eunuch Cao withdrew his hand with a smile.
"How could that be? Your Majesty, you are still as graceful as ever. You haven't even gotten tired after holding the little princess for such a long time, and you're still holding her with one hand. If it were me, my hands would have been limp long ago."
[Eunuch Cao is just flattering me. It turns out the tyrant was holding me with one hand. I was wondering why it wasn't as comfortable as being held by my mother. I don't know why he came to the place of this old green tea concubine, the virtuous concubine.]
The emperor listened to Yu Yiluo's thoughts and supported her head with another hand.
The palace servant guarding the palace gate saw the emperor coming from afar and hurried in to report.
The virtuous concubine was leaning on the beauty couch with her eyes closed. Upon hearing this, she suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, straightened her clothes, and stood at the door to greet him.
"Your Majesty, why did the Emperor come here so suddenly?"
Haitang was supporting her beside her, feeling a little worried.
The virtuous concubine was also a little uneasy, but since she hadn't seen the emperor yet, she couldn't guess the emperor's intention in coming.
While thinking, he saw the emperor walking towards him holding Yu Yiluo.
"Your Highness." Concubine Xian bowed and saluted.
"Get up!" The emperor walked past her and went inside on his own.
It was already cold outside, but when I entered the virtuous concubine's room, I felt warm.
"It's warm in this palace, Concubine Xian."
He said it casually as if it were a casual conversation, but Concubine Xian was alarmed, thinking that the emperor was here to accuse her!
"Someone, bring tea."
She maintained her smile and sat on the chair opposite the emperor.
Yu Yiluo complained in her heart.
[What kind of tea are you serving? Aren't you just a green tea tea? Tyrants fall for that.]
"I was afraid of the cold, so I burned the charcoal. I feel very sorry that my sister, Concubine Li, was harassed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These dogs really deserve to die. However, it was also my fault. I beg the emperor to punish me."
The emperor waved his hand and said softly, "You have just taken over the harem, so some negligence is inevitable. I don't blame you."
Unexpectedly, he said that, and for a moment, Concubine Xian didn't know how to respond.
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. This actually makes me feel even more guilty."
[Ugh, you're acting so hypocritical. I'm about to spit out the milk I just drank.]
The emperor even glanced at Yu Yiluo after hearing this. Seeing that she hadn't vomited milk, he continued, "My winter clothes haven't been made yet. They should have been delivered to me by this time of year."
It turns out that the emperor came for this matter. From this point of view, the emperor should not know that Eunuch Wang is his man, otherwise how could he let it go so easily.
The tense heart relaxed, and the expression on Concubine Xian's face became more sincere when she spoke.
"I am truly negligent in this matter. I will ask the embroidery workshop to make the emperor's winter clothes as soon as possible."
The emperor had no intention of staying any longer and stood up. "Remember to keep a close eye on me and make sure nothing goes wrong. I trust you by letting you take charge of the harem."
[If you continue to trust me, you'll lose your life. Why do you still trust me? ]
Yu Yiluo curled her lips, wanting to remind the tyrant but unable to open her mouth.
"I understand. I respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor."
The virtuous concubine bowed and stood up straight only after watching the emperor's figure gradually disappear.
He sent someone to the embroidery workshop to ask how the emperor's winter clothes were progressing.
......
After leaving the Concubine Xian's palace, the emperor's face turned cold.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to the imperial study?" Eunuch Cao asked in a low voice.
The emperor paused and said, "Let's go to Concubine Li's palace for dinner."
Eunuch Cao was a little embarrassed and reminded, "Your Majesty, you haven't turned over the cards for a long time."
"Why, I handle government affairs every day, do you think I'm not annoying enough?"
When he went to court, he was annoyed by those old guys, and when he returned to the palace, he was annoyed by the women in the harem.
He was almost growing up in the imperial study when Eunuch Cao reminded him in his ear again.
"But……"
Before Eunuch Cao could finish his words, the Emperor ruthlessly interrupted him, "Don't say anything, if you mention it again, I will punish you by making you clean the toilet for the whole night."
After saying this, he strode forward. Eunuch Cao quickly followed, and it took him a long time to utter a word.
"The ministers all come to this slave, and I can do nothing about it."
Those adults asked him to convey the message since they couldn't see the emperor, but he didn't want to do that in the first place.
The emperor glanced at him and asked, "Do you listen to me or those old guys?"
"I am the emperor's servant, and I will not say it again."
Besides, you have to really wash the toilet. The emperor is not joking.
[The tyrant hates turning over cards so much, no wonder the virtuous concubine couldn't stand the loneliness and cheated on him.]
