On the other side is Mingde Hall.
Concubine Li was sitting on a chair, with her head slightly lowered, doing needlework meticulously.
The nanny advised: "Madam, you have been busy for a long time. It is time to rest, otherwise your eyes will be tired."
"Her Majesty, haven't your eyes been sore and painful lately?"
"It's okay." Lipin didn't even raise her head. "I'm a little thirsty. Go and bring me a cup of tea."
The nanny looked at her and turned away helplessly. She quickly knelt down and saluted in surprise, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jinde is coming, but no one informed him. This must be Emperor Jinde's intention.
At this time, Lipin quickly put down the things in her hands, stood up and saluted, "I am sorry for not coming to greet you from afar, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
He looked humble and submissive, no longer as harsh and timid as before.
Emperor Jinde said slowly, "No need for formalities."
Soon he noticed the embroidery on Lipin's desk, "What are you doing?"
Lipin spoke softly, "I was thinking about the anniversary of Princess Shengde's death at the end of winter, so I prepared an embroidered screen with a hundred blessings and a thousand words on it in advance. I plan to offer it to Princess Shengde on that day as a token of my gratitude."
She smiled helplessly: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do in Mingde Palace recently."
They were all under house arrest, so naturally there was nothing to do and nowhere to go. They could only be trapped in the Mingde Palace, and even meeting Emperor Jinde became a luxury.
Everyone in the palace laughed at her for falling out of favor and said that His Majesty would never set foot in Mingde Hall again.
Little did I know that His Majesty would come today.
This was probably an opportunity given to her by God.
Suddenly, Emperor Jinde held her hand and asked, "Why are you injured so badly?"
I saw that there were many needle marks on Li Bin's ten fingers, which looked painful.
Lipin retracted her hand and said, "I have thick skin and flesh, it's nothing serious."
The nanny couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the Queen has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha every day these days, and she has been embroidering day and night. Her eyes are about to be damaged."
Lipin warned her with her eyes, "Don't talk too much."
Emperor Jinde seemed moved and said softly, "Lipin is thoughtful."
"This is what I should do." Concubine Li's eyes were red.
"That year, Your Majesty and I went to Nan Lian Temple to pray and admire the plum blossoms. I prayed beneath the plum tree, praying that we could grow old together. I will come to fulfill my wish one day."
"It's a pity that I failed your majesty's kindness and failed to teach Yongjia well. I also made a big mistake myself."
"What qualifications do I have to stay by your Majesty's side?"
"The night before yesterday, I dreamt of Heng'er. Heng'er said he missed his mother. I almost wanted to go and keep poor Heng'er company...but I couldn't bear to leave Yongjia, and even more so, Your Majesty."
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Jinde, and the tears in her eyes fell silently like beads falling from a broken string.
Concubine Li is already very pretty, and she looks even more pitiful when she cries.
Emperor Jinde patted her shoulder and said, "Don't cry."
…
The second day.
Concubine Li was released from house arrest and her position was restored.
She returned to the position of concubine in a short time, and for a time, the entire palace was talking about it.
The masters of each palace were shocked and angry. Before they could properly control Concubine Li, she actually turned the tables!
After hearing this, the Queen simply nodded and smiled generously, "That's good. We've been sisters for many years, so it's better than meeting someone new who you're not familiar with."
But the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The Queen was very curious about what methods Concubine Li had used.
Only Lipin, now Lifei, knew that Princess Shengde was extraordinary in His Majesty's mind.
Because one night many years ago, she heard His Majesty mumbling in a nightmare.
--"elder sister."
Anguo Marquis Mansion, study.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Qingyao leaned lazily against the back of her chair, put down the book in her hand, and commented indifferently, "Concubine Li is quite formidable."
Being able to sit as one of the four concubines just by having a princess as his own, he is certainly not an ordinary person.
He Zheng said in a very calm voice, "Being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."
Jiang Qingyao held her chin with one hand and looked at him.
He Zheng said patiently, "You think you are the one setting up the game, but in reality you are just a player in the game, a chess piece."
"The chess player is not sentimental, perhaps it is just that the old ones are more convenient to use."
Rather than saying that this was the result of Concubine Li's scheme, it would be better to say that it was done intentionally by His Majesty.
Jiang Qingyao: “…”
She exhaled and muttered softly, "You people in high positions are really cunning."
"Still unfeeling."
How heartless the emperor is! And so are those in higher positions.
He Zheng: “…”
"I am different from your Majesty."
Something was surging in He Zheng's eyes.
Maybe everything was no different before, but after meeting her, everything became very different.
Meeting He Zheng's increasingly deep gaze, Jiang Qingyao subconsciously leaned back.
He Zheng stroked her head with his bony palm, "I'm looking forward to it."
Jiang Qingyao was confused, but she continued, "What are you looking forward to?"
"The day when the remaining poison is cleared."
Every word struck her heart.
Jiang Qingyao was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.
In broad daylight, the dignified Marquis of Anguo is being too reckless!
…
After leaving the study, Jiang Qingyao stopped when she heard a sound coming from not far away while passing by the rockery.
Through the gaps in the rockery, you can see the scene over there.
Qin Yurong accidentally fell into the arms of He Shuliang, the second master of the He family, revealing the shyness of a young girl.
"Ah, Second Uncle, I'm sorry I bumped into you. Rong'er didn't mean to do that."
She asked timidly, "Second Uncle won't blame Rong'er, right?"
The second master looked at her slightly red eyes and innocent expression, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.
