Chapter 12 My Concubine's Family is Here
Li Cairen was stunned.
The others were also stunned.
Most of the concubines in the palace came from aristocratic families. Even if they were unhappy, they would never show it on the surface. At most, they would speak with hidden ulterior motives.
Yue Li was different. She revealed Li Cairen's thoughts and mocked her at the same time.
Shen Zhaoyi quickly smiled and said, "Li Cairen is confused. Why don't you apologize to Sister Yu?"
Li Cairen was embarrassed and couldn't help but clenched her fists. "I am a concubine of the same level as Concubine Yu. Why is Concubine Yu speaking so harshly?"
Yueli had a cold face and didn't even bother to look at her.
"Unpleasant?" She sneered, "Is my speech unpleasant? Is this the first day Li Cairen knows about it?"
"If you don't want to hear it, keep your mouth shut."
Li Cairen's face turned red with anger. She was only one level lower than Yue Li. Why did she talk to her like that?
Yue Li glanced at her with her chin raised, a faint smile on her lips: "Li Cairen, if you are dissatisfied with what I said, then go to the emperor and complain to me?"
She didn't know if she could get in, and she didn't know if she could come out intact after getting in.
After all, He Yanchen is a person who wants those he loves to live and those he hates to die. If Li Cairen dares to go, she will be seeking death.
"You!" Li Cairen slammed the table and stood up. "The Empress is in charge of the harem. Don't be so arrogant!"
Having said that, she didn't care how ugly the expressions of Shen Zhaoyi and others were, and she left angrily.
Most likely he went to complain to the Queen.
Yueli is not afraid of her.
She is the only one who knows how to complain. Later she will go to He Yanchen to complain.
"Concubine Li has a domineering personality. If she goes to see the Empress, I will explain everything to her." Concubine Shen seemed apologetic.
Meng Yunv muttered to herself, "Don't be angry, Lady Yu. No one in my family has entered the palace..."
Yueli glanced at her. Meng Yunv seemed a little afraid of her. She lowered her head quickly, looking silly.
"I'm sorry for spoiling Sister Shen's fun." Yue Li stood up and said goodbye, "I'm a little tired, so I won't disturb Sister Shen's fun anymore."
Shen Zhaoyi nodded slightly and called her maid to deliver Yueli.
Along the way, Lian Qiao didn't forget to help her continue to scold Li Cairen: "That Li Cairen is really mentally ill. She knew that there was no one at home, but she still said these hurtful words."
"Master is still too kind. He just scolded her. He should have beaten her like he did to Concubine Zheng last time."
Lianqiao was chattering away, and Yueli glanced at her sideways, then patted her head: "Little Lianqiao is so cute."
Lian Qiao's face suddenly turned red.
Back at the Jade Palace, the head eunuch, Xiao Lizi, said with a smile, "Master, Eunuch Ji has just sent over quite a few rewards."
Yueli was the only one living in Zhuoyu Palace, so all the rewards were placed in the yard, filling it up.
Yue Li casually opened a few boxes and took a look. The glittering gold, silver and jewelry almost blinded her eyes.
In an instant, all the anger she had just felt towards Li Cairen disappeared. Yue Li caressed the little cuties in the box, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"Put all these in the warehouse, and then find some things from the warehouse to give out as rewards," she ordered.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
In the bedroom, Yue Li had people put out some of the large items, such as jade bottles, screens, and porcelain.
She rolled around on the couch with the soft pillow in her arms, feeling extremely happy as she looked at the magnificent appearance of the palace.
Everything would betray her except the money in her hand.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, ladies of honor came to the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and the concubines in the harem also gathered early in Fengyang Palace, waiting to see their families.
Yueli is pretending to be sick again.
She asked the palace maid to ask for leave, and then went to Linde Hall herself.
He Yanchen had stopped writing a few days before New Year's Eve. At this moment, there was a chessboard in front of him and he was playing chess with himself.
"Why are you here?" Hearing the footsteps, he didn't even raise his head, picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard.
Yueli walked to his side, put her arms around his neck from behind, and leaned her whole body against his back: "Your Majesty, why are you playing chess alone?"
He Yanchen ignored her, so Yue Li had to entertain herself. Her soft breasts rubbed gently against his hard back. Soon, the man dropped the chess piece in his hand and pulled her into his arms.
"There will be a palace banquet tonight. I advise you to behave yourself."
Yueli blinked obediently: "Why am I so restless?"
"I was bored and worried that Your Majesty was also alone in the Linde Palace, so I wanted to come and keep Your Majesty company. Why is Your Majesty scolding me?"
She looked extremely aggrieved, but He Yanchen refused to take the bait. He asked, "Shouldn't you be in Fengyang Palace at this time?"
Yue Li felt only a little guilty, but she was also very confident: "There are so many people in Fengyang Palace, I don't want to join in the fun."
He Yanchen suddenly remembered that she had no family members in the palace, so she would be alone if she went there.
"Besides." Yueli raised her fair face and looked at him with curved eyebrows. "My family is here, why would I go to Fengyang Palace?"
Her voice was soft, with the tenderness unique to Jiangnan women, and also a hint of intimacy.
family.
He Yanchen had never felt this way before.
But now, she says he is her family.
Yueli didn't notice his emotional fluctuations. She just whispered sweetly in his ear, "Today is New Year's Eve. Has Your Majesty prepared any gifts for me?"
The man came back to his senses and concealed the slight fluctuation in his eyes. He patted the woman's buttocks and sneered, "What I sent someone to deliver a few days ago was air?"
Yueli hummed twice in embarrassment: "How can they be the same? How can something that all the concubines in the palace have be called a gift? I want something that they don't have."
"Look." She took out a belt from her bosom and handed it to him. "This is embroidered by me for Your Majesty. My hands were pricked with it."
As she said this, she showed him her fingers pitifully, and there were indeed a few small red spots on them.
He Yanchen glanced at the belt. Usually, the concubines would often embroider sachets and send them to the emperor. Most of them were embroidered with auspicious clouds and dragon patterns, but Yue Li embroidered a hunting falcon.
She said, "I feel that Your Majesty is like this falcon, destined to soar in the sky."
