She moved her lips and said in a warning tone.
Yuzhu nodded and replied, "Yes, Madam."
Fuling raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Xia secretly.
When the Empress Dowager heard the Emperor's news, her expression did not change at all.
"Poria cocos?"
Li Xia noticed Fuling's eyes and called her softly.
Yuzhu didn't know what happened between her and Dongfang Xunyi.
She is not the type to gossip about such things.
"Yes, I understand." Fuling lowered her eyes and bowed in reply.
"Okay, I'm a little tired. I'm going to lie down for a while. You two don't have to wait for me for lunch later. I'll eat after I wake up."
Li Xia covered her mouth and yawned. She got up a little early today and felt a little sleepy.
———
General's Mansion.
Chen Dexuan brought a young woman into the mansion. He went straight to Chen and explained his intentions.
Upon hearing this, Chen lowered her eyes. She said nothing, but clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves.
"Ms. Chen, what do you think?" Chen Dexuan looked at her and asked.
"I will follow the master's arrangements."
Chen gritted her teeth, unclenched her fists, and pretended to be virtuous.
I will tolerate Chen Dexuan for a while longer.
When she has arranged everything for Yier, she will let him know the consequences of letting her down.
"I know that Madam is virtuous and not like that jealous woman."
Seeing that Chen didn't dare to say anything, Chen Dexuan unscrupulously hugged the woman he brought back in his arms in front of her.
"Master~" The woman lay in Chen Dexuan's arms, looked at Chen provocatively, and said delicately: "Master, I'm afraid my sister will be unhappy."
She deliberately put on an appearance of weakness that would make people feel sorry for her.
But at an angle where Chen Dexuan couldn't see, he deliberately raised his eyebrows at Chen.
She's just an old woman whose looks have faded. What's there to be so arrogant about?
She waited and saw.
I will definitely make her defeated.
"My dear, don't worry. With me here, no one in the general's mansion will dare to make you angry."
Chen Dexuan held the woman's face and pecked her lightly on the cheek.
The two of them flirted as if no one was around.
It’s as if Chen doesn’t exist.
It took a long time.
Chen Dexuan seemed to react belatedly.
"Ahem... Madam, please go down first." He cleared his throat, looking a little unnatural.
Anyway.
Chen was still his wife and gave birth to a son for him.
I still need to give her some face.
"Yes, sir, I will withdraw first."
Chen bowed and spoke in a faint voice.
When she turned and walked out of the main room, the laughter behind her did not subside in the slightest.
Chen raised her chin and narrowed her eyes.
Just enjoy your life.
That night.
Chen wrote a secret letter to her good friend Mudan. The content of the letter was a bunch of incomprehensible symbols, which was a secret language between the two of them.
Three days later.
The news that Chen Dexuan was going to take a concubine reached the palace.
Even the remote Cikang Temple heard the news.
It is said that the scale of his taking in a concubine was comparable to that of a wealthy family marrying a wife, and the degree of extravagance caused the people to talk about it.
When Chen Dexuan married Chen as his second wife, it was during the mourning period for Li Wanwan, so the wedding had to be kept simple.
And this time, he gave the concubine enough face.
When Li Xia learned the news, the letter that Chen had asked the palace maid to deliver happened to fall into her hands.
There wasn't much in the letter.
The main point is that although Li Xia is now the queen mother of a country, she is still the married daughter of a general after all.
The joy of my father taking a concubine.
As a daughter, it is my duty to return home.
When Li Xia saw the contents of the letter, she knew that it would not be so easy for Chen to ask her to go back.
Yuzhu saw Li Xia frowning slightly, so she asked, "Madam, what did Madam Chen say?"
"Nothing, she just told me that my father was going to take a concubine and asked me to go back and take a look."
Li Xia told Yuzhu what was written in the letter.
certainly.
Only she could see the hidden meaning behind Chen's words.
"If the Empress Dowager doesn't want to go, I will go and refuse her, and I will say that the Empress Dowager is ill and cannot come."
Yuzhu thought Lixia frowned because she didn't want to go back to the general's mansion.
Li Xia raised her hand and waved, "No need. My father is taking a concubine, and it would be against the rules if I didn't show up."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
She was also a little curious, what kind of woman could have such great magical powers?
She actually let Chen Dexuan do this for her.
Li Xia looked down on him as a Phoenix Man, but his identity as the original owner's father could not be changed.
"Yuzhu, go tell Xiaoluzi, who is beside the emperor, that I want to leave the palace."
Yuzhu blinked, "Why doesn't the Empress Dowager explain it directly to the Emperor?"
"Xiao Luzi is the eunuch who serves the emperor closely. It's the same thing to talk to him."
Li Xia felt a little guilty. She looked away and looked out the window with an uncertain gaze.
It's not the right time yet.
She couldn't explain too much to Yuzhu.
———
Imperial study.
"Your Majesty, just now the maidservant beside the Empress Dowager came to me and said that the Empress Dowager would be out of the palace for two days."
Xiao Luzi knocked on the palace door, and after getting Dongfang Xunyi's consent, he pushed the door open and walked in.
He relayed to the emperor what Yuzhu had said to him.
