No one cared about Xian Xian'er's thoughts. Jiang Li's little hand was held by Gu Qingchen all the way. Wherever the two of them passed, they attracted the attention of the palace people.
In just one hour, the news that Prince Jingling favored the princess alone spread throughout the palace.
"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother."
The two of them saluted together, and the Queen Mother waved directly at Jiang Li, "Li'er, come here quickly. It's been a while since we last met. I miss you so much."
Ever since Jiang Li regularly sent people to deliver pills to replenish her qi and blood, the empress dowager now feels comfortable everywhere.
In addition, she never thought that her youngest son, this stubborn donkey, would agree to get married in this life. Now that she has Jiang Li, her last worry is gone. No wonder even the nanny said that she looks a lot younger today.
It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to get along with, not to mention that the person in front of you is not an ordinary mother-in-law.
"Mother..."
Seeing that the Queen Mother's attitude towards her had not changed at all, and was even becoming closer, Jiang Li also wanted to get closer to her.
The little girl spoke softly and looked even more petite and delicate standing next to her youngest son. The empress dowager liked her more and more and quickly sent someone to give Jiang Li the reward that had been prepared in advance.
Seeing Jiang Li's money-loving smile, Gu Qingchen actually felt a moment of peace and tranquility in this palace.
"Hahahahahahaha, it seems I came at the right time."
Just as the three were about to have breakfast, a hearty laugh was heard outside the hall.
The eldest brother is like his father. Originally, Jiang Li should have gone to the imperial study with Gu Qingchen to meet the emperor after paying homage to the empress dowager.
Unexpectedly, the emperor came straight over after finishing his work.
"We are all family, no need to be so polite, get up quickly."
It was Jiang Li's first time meeting the emperor. Since he was given so many good things as a reward after his last marriage, she had the impression that the emperor should be around forty or fifty years old.
Unexpectedly, after getting up from the ground, I looked up and saw a handsome uncle.
As expected of Gu Qingchen’s biological brother, the emperor’s facial features are exceptionally three-dimensional, with distinct contours. His sharp eyes show that he is a natural born superior, noble and majestic.
Unfortunately, nine out of ten emperors suffered from severe headaches, with signs of knitting between their brows. Jiang Li's subconscious occupational disease almost prevented him from stepping forward to treat the emperor.
It was the first time that the emperor saw someone who dared to stare at him like this, and it was a woman. He was immediately amazed in his heart. Sure enough, the woman who could handle Gu Qingchen was not an ordinary person.
"Sister-in-law, you are looking at me like this, but do you have something to say?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Jiang Li didn't hide anything anymore. "In reply to the emperor, I know a little bit about medicine. I saw your expression and knew that you are troubled by a headache. If you are free later, I can take a look at you."
The Queen Mother nodded quickly upon hearing this, "I know Li'er's medical skills, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look. If she can truly help the Emperor relieve his worries, then the Emperor will reward her handsomely."
Gu Qingchen has always known that Jiang Li hates trouble the most.
However, since she was with him, she treated both the Queen Mother and Xiaojiu as if they were her own family.
Looking at the woman with a sweet smile, Gu Qingchen's heart was filled with joy.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Concubine Yue requests an audience."
It was rare for the family to have a happy breakfast together. When the empress dowager heard the report from the palace maid, she frowned slightly.
This Yue Guifei is the daughter of Prime Minister Qin, and she is always favored by the Emperor. Therefore, the Queen Mother did not want to show it too obviously. She smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect it to be so lively here. Let her come in."
The first time I heard the name of Concubine Yue was from Xiaojiu. At that time, the reason why Xiaojiu targeted her was because of Concubine Yue.
Jiang Li naturally didn't have a good impression of her. Even though she knew that Concubine Yue was targeting her to stand up for the Qin family, it still made people unhappy.
However, she was able to be promoted to the position of imperial concubine in the harem within three years of entering the palace. Even with the support of the Qin family, it is not difficult to see that Imperial Concubine Yue has some means. Not despising any enemy is Jiang Li's principle of doing things.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and Prince Jingling."
As expected of a woman who could capture the emperor's heart, Concubine Yue had an extremely bright appearance, with graceful eyebrows, slightly raised eyes, red lips and pearly teeth, and a face like a lotus. She wore an orange palace dress, which made her look even more graceful and charming.
"My beloved concubine, why are you here at this hour?" The emperor raised his hand to wake her up. After saying this, he glanced at the waiting palace servants and said, "Come here, give Concubine Yue a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Yue was a wise woman, never overtly abusing her power, which was why the Emperor loved her so much. She had come here today precisely to see who Jiang Li, the woman her brother had mentioned so much in his letters, was, and who had caused such unrest in the Qin residence, was.
He glanced at Jiang Li calmly, and the two of them happened to look at each other.
In tacit understanding, they both looked away.
There is nothing special about her, she is just more beautiful than the rumors, that's all. It seems that Prince Jingling's pampering of his wife is just a curse of being in the land of beauties. Tsk, how superficial he is, thought Concubine Yue.
As for the fact that the Ninth Princess did not make things difficult for Jiang Li as she had intended, it was probably because of Prince Jingling.
She never takes seriously women who rely on their looks to bind men.
The smile on Concubine Yue's face grew more pronounced. She looked at the Emperor and said softly, "Your Majesty, my father sent someone to find a piece of excellent ginseng and asked someone to bring it to me. I was worried that if I kept it myself, it would be wasted, so I thought of giving it to the Empress Dowager to help her recover."
After saying this, she waved to the maid behind her, stood up, took the brocade box and handed it to the nanny beside the empress dowager.
Upon opening the brocade box, a medicinal fragrance filled the air. A ginseng of this size and well-preserved must be worth a fortune. The Emperor couldn't help but nod and said, "My beloved concubine, you are so thoughtful. I am very pleased today. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
