Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Could it be that she is going to be crowned as a concubine? ...
Li Shuyao worked all night and finally finished making the purse with great effort.
When it was handed to Nanny Yan, she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. She lay on the quilt, mumbling, "Send it, send it to the Palace of Heavenly Purity..."
Nanny Yan took the purse with some amusement, put it into her sleeve, and tugged at the quilt under Li Shuyao. Seeing that she couldn't move it, she reluctantly pulled another quilt over her. After extinguishing the candle in the room, she carefully left the bedroom.
The next morning, just after daybreak, Nanny Yan ordered the fastest eunuch in Changchun Palace to take the purse that Li Shuyao had embroidered with great difficulty and wait outside the Qianqing Palace, and make sure to hand the purse to him as soon as the emperor left the court.
When Li Shuyao woke up, it was already noon.
Her sleepy mind had no memory of last night. It was not until she finished her breakfast that she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have made a purse last night to apologize to the emperor.
But... where did it go?
Could it be that he accidentally fell under the bed while sleeping?
Li Shuyao calmly sent everyone out and searched the hall fearfully for a long time, but couldn't find the purse she had embroidered last night.
...That's strange.
She clearly remembered that she made a purse.
It can't be just a dream, right?
She was thinking about this matter until the afternoon.
Even little Yinzhen could see it. His mother must have a big secret in her heart, otherwise why would she be so worried that she even refused to eat the snacks brought by Nanny Yan?
Suddenly, I didn’t want to play with the toys anymore, and I didn’t want to play with my brother anymore.
Like a triangular rice ball, he sat there for a while with his legs crossed.
Then, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and walked towards his mother. He put his face close to Li Shuyao's cheek and asked in a soft baby voice, "Mother, why are you unhappy?"
Li Shuyao was startled, and subconsciously raised her hands to protect him, nestling him in her arms. After hugging him, she said, "Mother is not unhappy."
Yinzhen: "Mother, you are lying. Her eyebrows are curled together, which means she is unhappy."
Li Shuyao wanted to defend herself: "Mother is not unhappy, and her eyebrows are not curled together..."
Before she could finish, little Yinzhen raised his hand and pointed directly at the glass cup on the table with great momentum, "Then why doesn't mother even drink milk tea?"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuyao looked up and saw that a few plates of snacks and a cup of milk tea with a faint jasmine scent had appeared on the table next to her.
Li Shuyao: “?”
She continued to argue stubbornly: "Mother didn't drink it because she wanted to save the milk tea for Yinzhen."
Are you kidding? How could she tell a two-year-old kid about the secrets between her and the emperor?
I'm afraid that even if she tells it, the little guy won't be able to understand, and he might even be jealous of his own father, and ask her why she only makes purses for his father and not for him. Isn't he her favorite little guy?
Li Shuyao would never make herself unhappy.
However, when Yinzhen mentioned this, she suddenly had some inspiration.
So he tightened his grip on the baby and lowered his voice to ask the little baby in his arms, "Yinzhen, can you do me a favor?"
Yinzhen looked at her with suspicion, obviously not believing what she had said before.
Li Shuyao was in no mood to explain to him. Without waiting for him to answer, she half-hugged him and pushed him to the ground, put on his shoes, and led him towards her bedroom.
When they got to the palace, she pushed little Yinzhen, who was only two years old and only as tall as her knees, to the bed and said, "Yinzhen, can you please do me a favor and crawl under the bed to see if there is anything there?"
After hearing this, Yinzhen's pair of black round eyes widened to their maximum size and pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"
Li Shuyao nodded, pushed him towards the bed again, and said concisely, "Yes."
Yinzhen was still a little reluctant to believe it, and the short, fat finger he pointed at himself trembled slightly, "Me?"
"right!"
Yinzhen: "Me?"
"I'm a prince, and my mother wants me to crawl under the bed?"
Li Shuyao was puzzled. Yinzhen was only two years old, but he already knew how noble a baby he was.
It can be said that he is worthy of being a child from the royal family.
When she was two years old...
Forget it, she could hardly remember what she was like when she was two years old.
Li Shuyao pursed her lips lightly, squatted down, and tried to stuff the three-headed little ball on the ground under the bed.
She stopped talking, but used her actions to tell Yinzhen that, yes, that's right, even if he was a royal family, a prince, he had to listen to his mother when he was young. If she told him to crawl under the bed, he had to crawl under the bed.
No negotiation!
Little Yinzhen could only clench his fists in frustration. As he was not as strong as others, his mother stuffed him under the dark bed, leaving only his feet held by Li Shuyao's hands.
As Li Shuyao stuffed the bottle in, she asked him, "Is there anything inside?"
Yinzhen's baby voice came slowly, "...No."
"Take a closer look."
Little Yinzhen held his breath, his little voice sounding very depressed, "It's too dark, I can't see clearly."
Li Shuyao was a little troubled. This was not modern society and there was no flashlight. She couldn't just light a candle and put it under the bed, right?
If something catches fire, wouldn’t the baby she gave birth to with great difficulty be in danger?
After thinking for a while, Li Shuyao said, "Why don't you touch it with your hand?"
Little Yinzhen: "..."
He could only obediently use his two chubby hands to feel around under the bed, but he couldn't touch anything except the smooth and cold floor tiles.
There was no other way, Li Shuyao could only lift his feet and pull him out from under the bed.
The first time he saw the light, Yinzhen ran to the floor-standing bronze mirror in the corner, touched his head, nose, chin, chest, looked at his hands, and then patted his clothes, from the collar to the hem, tucked the hem into his belt, and patted the light yellow shorts he was wearing underneath.
Li Shuyao found it a little funny.
When did Yinzhen become so obsessed with mysophobia?
Moreover, Nanny Yan would have someone clean her bedroom three or four times a day, even the floor tiles under the bed would be cleaned once a day.
After all, the emperor came to Changchun Palace quite often, so Nanny Yan and the palace maids in Changchun Palace dared not be careless.
Li Shuyao walked over and poked little Yinzhen on the head twice with a helpless expression, "Stingy guy, drink cold water."
Yinzhen stuck out his tongue at her in dissatisfaction and made a face, "How could my mother be so annoying!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuyao puffed up her face angrily, "Say that again?"
Before he could finish his words, a plump figure quickly rolled past him. He was obviously a chubby child, but who knew where he got the strength and quick reaction from. Before Li Shuyao could bend down to catch him, he had already run out of the bedroom and slipped into the outer room to continue playing with his two younger brothers.
…
It was not until the evening that Li Shuyao learned from Nanny Yan where the purse had gone.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
Fortunately, it was not lost, but was sent to the Qianqing Palace by Nanny Yan.
The action was silent, but it allowed little Yinzhen to instantly decipher the source of his mother's absent-mindedness and abnormal reactions throughout the afternoon.
Oh well, it turns out that Mother asked him to crawl under the bed because she couldn’t find the purse she made for Khan Ama!
He is a prince, but...
snort!
He was so angry.
This time, no matter what, my mother has to apologize to him a hundred times before he will forgive her...
Yinzhen was still making useless oaths in his heart, while on the other side, Li Shuyao, who had let go of the heavy stone in her heart, finally felt relieved.
She pushed the little girl next to her aside and said irresponsibly, "Yinzhen, you sleep with Yinqi tonight. Mother is going to the Yikun Palace to talk to your mother Yi. She won't be back if it's too late. Please take good care of Yinqi..."
As he spoke, the voice gradually faded away.
The abandoned little Yinzhen still maintained the posture of being pushed away with disgust, his two dark eyes full of disbelief.
Why...why did his mother just abandon him after using him?
*
It turns out that apologizing with a wallet is still very effective.
That night, the sign on the other side of the Qianqing Palace turned over was that of the Chengqian Palace. Instead of coming to Li Shuyao, she went to the Yikun Palace and talked with Qingyao for a long time. She stayed in the Yikun Palace that night.
The next day, the emperor flipped over the sign of the Yanx Palace and went to Huipin's place.
It was not until the third day that it was Li Shuyao's turn to go to Changchun Palace.
Just when everyone thought that the emperor would go to Yiku Palace or Zhongcui Palace on the fourth night, the emperor, contrary to his usual behavior, stayed in Changchun Palace for three consecutive days.
Li Shuyao was exhausted.
After finally sending this great god away, the next day when paying respects to Concubine Tong, Concubine Hesheli, with red eyes, mocked her several times with a smile on her face but a hidden knife in her heart.
Li Shuyao was described as a vixen who brought disaster to the country and the people, and she seduced the emperor to such an extent that he even forgot the most basic rules.
Before Li Shuyao could react to the meaning of her words, Concubine Tong and Qingyao and others quickly turned cold.
Li Shuyao didn't even need to show up herself. Concubine Tong alone suppressed the unwilling concubine Hesheli and made her happy to be confined for three days and read the palace rules twenty times.
Perhaps the disturbance that occurred during the visit was heard by someone in the Qianqing Palace. Li Shuyao had just returned to Changchun Palace, while on the other hand, the emperor extended the three-day confinement of Concubine Hesheli to half a month.
Li Shuyao was still a little puzzled. Although Concubine Hesheli was a bit arrogant and had a bad temper, she was the Crown Prince's biological aunt after all. Even for the Crown Prince's sake, the Emperor should not be so ruthless to Concubine Hesheli.
In the end, it was the well-informed Qingyao who cleared her up: "When she went to the grasslands, she used some shameful tactics to win the emperor's favor. The emperor found out and was furious. If he hadn't considered the reputation of Hesheli and the prince, he would have executed her long ago."
"But she still refuses to repent..."
Qingyao "tsk tsk" twice and didn't continue.
Li Shuyao understood, "Oh, no wonder, she glared at me several times when we were welcoming the emperor at the palace gate that day."
Qingyao sneered out loud, "I saw it too, otherwise why would I go and ask about what happened on the grassland?"
Li Shuyao moved closer and wanted to chat with her about some gossip, but suddenly a young eunuch came running in from outside, his whole body filled with joy.
As soon as he entered the small room, he kowtowed several times to Li Shuyao and Qingyao. The sound made Li Shuyao's forehead hurt.
He seemed oblivious, as if the head on his neck was made of iron. "Congratulations, Lady Ling, and Lady Yi!"
"Please both ladies go outside to receive the imperial edict. It is Eunuch Liang from the Palace of Heavenly Purity who has come personally!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he banged his head to the ground a few times.
Li Shuyao and Qingyao both showed puzzled expressions at the same time, without waiting to speak.
Outside, footsteps could be heard one after another, as if something big was happening. It was noisy, clamorous, and chaotic. Countless people were talking at the same time, mixed with a few cries.
Nanny Yan had already run outside to find out what was going on when the young eunuch came in to kowtow.
She quickly ran back with a smile on her face and a breeze on her body.
Without saying anything, he came over to put shoes on Li Shuyao and Qingyao.
When the two were pushed outside, a large group of people were already kneeling in the yard. Some were from Changchun Palace, and some had rushed over from the neighboring Yiku Palace. Everyone looked overjoyed.
Liang Jiugong was holding a tray with two bright yellow imperial edicts on it. He stood out among the crowd like a crane among chickens.
He smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesties. Please accept my order."
Li Shuyao and Qingyao looked at each other, their hearts beating rapidly, as if they had realized something.
No, it can’t be, she is going to be made a concubine, right?
