Eunuch Cao picked up the debris on the ground and said, "Let's go, but next time Your Majesty, please choose something less valuable. It's such a pity."
The emperor chuckled. If Luo'er were here, she would probably think the same.
Tian Lan stood aside without daring to make a sound. When she saw the emperor looking at her, she quickly lowered her head.
"You go down first. You can go see Concubine Shu in two days. I think she has a lot to ask you."
"yes."
Tian Lan felt as if she had been pardoned. That idiot Concubine Chen actually wanted to compete with her for who would be in Qingxin Palace. If they were not in the same boat, and she was not worried that Concubine Chen would do something bad and cause her to lose her life, she would not want to be in Qingxin Palace.
The emperor has temporarily spared her life, and she must take this opportunity to take revenge on Concubine Shu for plotting to get her into the palace.
"What's the current situation in the harem?"
Eunuch Cao pointed to the memorials on the table and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of the court officials first. Look at the number of memorials. I can hardly stop them."
"If you can't stop him, don't you still have the Prime Minister?" The Emperor flipped through the memorial. "The Prime Minister is no fool. He will help you."
…
The emperor was ill and did not attend the morning court, and only allowed Tian Lan to serve him, which caused dissatisfaction among many concubines in the harem.
Feeling dissatisfied but unable to see the emperor, these people had no choice but to go see Concubine Shu.
Knowing that Concubine Shu liked to stay with Concubine Xian, and now that the emperor was sick again, they would definitely gather together, so all the concubines came to Concubine Xian's Zuihua Palace.
Yu Yiluo was fiddling with her gift on the ground when she heard footsteps.
【Tsk, Aunt Shufei has something to do. 】
[I was worried that my mother would be upset when she heard this, but I didn't expect her to be so smart and actually know what my father was planning.]
Yu Yiluo's heart was at peace when an anxious voice was heard outside.
"We would like to see the Empress Shufei."
Before Hua Rui could say anything, Concubine Shu raised her voice and said, "Hua Rui, let someone in."
The door opened and concubines dressed in various palace costumes came in.
What caught the eye was Empress Xian and three others sitting around a round wooden table, on which were placed fruits and snacks. There was a red-hot charcoal fire beside them, and they looked extremely comfortable.
After everyone who came in bowed, Concubine Shu said calmly, "Is it because of the Emperor's matter that you ladies came to see me?"
Several people looked at each other, and one of them said in a somewhat indignant tone: "Since the Concubine Shu knew, why did she still let Tian Lan serve the Emperor so closely?"
"The Emperor clearly wanted to punish Tian Lan, but now it has turned out like this. Doesn't your Highness find it strange?"
Questions came one after another. Concubine Shu held the hot tea and waited for them to finish speaking before saying with a half-smile:
"So what do you sisters want me to do? Kill Tian Lan? The emperor is just sick, and I would never do anything to disobey him."
The people who asked the questions were speechless. After a moment of silence, another person spoke.
"The Emperor is ill. As his concubines, we should be his attendants. But the Concubine Shu knows about it but remains indifferent."
"Are you accusing me of not caring about the Emperor?"
Concubine Shu put down her tea and slowly peeled grapes. "I'm worried that the Emperor's emotional instability might hurt his beautiful sisters. Since you want to attend to him, I'll make arrangements for you now."
"I dare not blame the Concubine Shu."
Concubine Xian and the others had already discussed it. Since the emperor wanted to pretend to be sick, they might as well help him.
It would also help dispel the old woman's suspicion.
Concubine Shu divided them into groups of two, each taking care of the sick for one day, and only then did she succeed in getting rid of them all.
"It seems that the emperor intends to get rid of Concubine Shu this time."
Concubine De placed the peeled grapes on a plate, which was almost full. Several people peeled them specially for Yu Yiluo.
"She must have understood that the Emperor would not forgive her if she failed this time, so she took the initiative."
[Of course, once Concubine Shu's suspicions are dispelled, she will reveal her true colors.]
Yu Yiluo stood up, walked to the table and stood on tiptoe to get the small plate, but the table was too high and she couldn't reach it.
【Why are your arms so short?】
Empress Xian held back her laughter. Seeing that she was so angry, she raised her hand and handed the peeled grapes to her, then hugged her and sat her on the chair.
Yu Yiluo listened to several people chatting while enjoying their service.
After sitting for a while, Yu Yiluo could no longer sit still, so she got up from the chair and handed the fox fur cloak made for her by Concubine Xian to Hua Rui.
"Luo'er wants to go out?"
Concubine Xian stood up, walked over, squatted down, and fastened the belt of her cloak. She raised her hand and rubbed her head. "You even knew to wear something thicker so as not to worry mother. Luo'er is really good."
Yu Yiluo was praised, raised her chin and smiled with her eyebrows curved.
[There's no fun in the palace now. Let's go out and see what fun there is. I can also try out my mount.]
She was accompanied by secret guards, and Concubine Xian didn't want to restrict her too much, so she said lovingly, "Go and play."
When Luo'er couldn't walk yet, she wanted to leave the palace all the time. Now that she can walk, even if the emperor wants to take her with him, it depends on whether she is willing.
Yu Yiluo raised her hand and waved to Concubine Xian, then turned and left Zuihua Palace.
After leaving Zuihua Palace, Yu Yiluo went directly to the place where the brown bear was imprisoned.
The two men guarding the brown bear saw Yu Yiluo coming, recognized her, and hurriedly bowed to her.
Yu Yiluo glanced at the two of them, walked forward and pushed the door open, and said in a baby voice.
"Open."
"Little Princess, this is not right."
She looked at the two of them with a stern face. The red cloak made her look even more lovely. The white fur collar wrapped around her delicate little face, making her as soft as a dumpling.
But the two guards in front of her could see an irrefutable aura on her face.
"Open."
Yu Yiluo repeated it again.
The two men couldn't persuade her, so they took out the key and opened the door.
The door opened and Yu Yiluo entered. Inside was a row of iron cells, but they were used to hold animals.
When the brown bear in the iron cage saw Yu Yiluo, he raised his paw happily, as if greeting her.
Yu Yiluo approached her and raised her hand to touch it, but one of the guards was so scared that he quickly grabbed her hand.
"Little Princess, this bear is dangerous. Can I take you back to the palace?"
Yu Yiluo shook her head, "Open... open."
"this……"
When the two were in a dilemma, they heard footsteps.
"Your Highness, please come in."
[The Crown Prince is here.]
Yu Yiluo turned and looked at the door. The prince was wearing a moon-white gold-woven brocade robe and a cloak of the same color on the outside.
"Luo'er," the prince looked at Yu Yiluo in surprise, and squatted down to her eye level, "What are you doing here?"
He had come with Lord Su to see what was happening with the brown bear that Li Kingdom had sent as a tribute, but he didn't expect to meet Luo'er.
Yu Yiluo opened her arms and hugged the prince's neck, burying her little face in his neck.
The prince patted her back and said softly, "Luo'er, please get up first. My brother just came in from outside and is very cold. Don't let Luo'er catch a cold."
[The Crown Prince is so sweet, wow, why doesn't such a sweet person have an official partner? You idiot author, don't you feel guilty?]
