Jun Shihuai was afraid that others would notice his abnormality, so he quickly poured himself a glass of wine and used the drink to cover it up.
Although rabbit meat is delicious, it is a bit greasy. Jun Li was full after eating the rabbit leg. Seeing that Wen Yu was still planning to make food for herself, Jun Li said to her, "Don't bother, just eat."
Wen Yu didn't dare to eat it: "Princess, I'll just serve you."
Jun Li pretended to be angry: "Why, am I the kind of person who treats maids harshly?"
This sentence left Wen Yu speechless, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Zhen Ye is not here, and Qin Lian is not here either. After reaching a deal with Qin Lian, Jun Li rarely cares about Zhen Ye. No matter how she will deal with these two people in the future, at least she will not take any action for now.
......
New Year's Eve soon arrived. It snowed on that day and the entire palace was covered with snow. Red lanterns were hung everywhere from morning to night.
New Year's Eve is the only day of the year when the emperor and his ministers are not required to attend the morning court. The royal family, like ordinary people, has the custom of eating New Year's Eve dinner. However, there are innumerable concubines in the entire harem, so some concubines of lower ranks are not even qualified to come.
Jun Li wore a pomegranate-embellished silk brocade dress to suit the occasion. The pomegranate color was very bright, and it looked like a ball of fire on her, making her look bright and charming. She also pinned a pomegranate flower made of blood jade on her temples. The tip of the flower was brighter than the petals, and the color seemed to be dripping. Her black hair fell on both sides, making her look particularly charming and seductive.
As soon as she came in, she attracted a lot of attention. When the queen saw that the concubines and princesses were looking at Jun Li with envy, her vanity was satisfied. She immediately signaled with her eyes to the palace servants who were serving beside her. The palace servants received the instructions and led Jun Li to sit next to the queen. Now everyone's attention was not only on Jun Li, but also on the queen.
Some concubines looked at their daughters and couldn't help comparing them with Junli. If they also gave birth to a daughter as beautiful and charming as Junli, maybe the emperor would like her, and they would also be honored as mothers because of their sons. Look at the empress, who has been in the emperor's favor for so many years even though she only has a princess.
The emperor was a little happy when there were more people. Jun Li looked around, and was a little dazzled by the people in the hall. When she saw Concubine Yi next to Jun Shihuai, her gaze lingered for a moment.
The original owner still had memories about Concubine Yi. It was said that Concubine Yi was jealous. There was no woman in the palace who was not jealous, but no one dared to express it directly. Only Concubine Yi disobeyed the emperor in public because of her jealousy. The emperor was furious and drove Concubine Yi to a remote courtyard and confined her to house arrest. Since then, no one has seen Concubine Yi again.
Although Jun Li didn't know what Concubine Yi looked like, when she saw her sitting next to Jun Shihuai, she was sure that the person who looked like a girl was Concubine Yi. The concubines all had their hair combed like a noble lady, but Concubine Yi was the only one who had her hair down and combed like a girl, with red cheeks, looking like a girl.
How could Concubine Yi be released without the emperor's order?
It seems that Jun Shihuai's status in front of the emperor is still pretty good now, and those princes and princesses no longer dare to look at him with that murderous look.
The emperor also noticed Yipin. Perhaps he had feelings for her, so when he saw Yipin's appearance, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he just heard the emperor say, "Xianyu."
