Aunt Liu calmed herself down and soothed her, "Don't panic, my lady. If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops, and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth!"
She immediately called out to Xiaoye who was about to send Li Shushu to Xinzheku.
Let Li Shushu accompany them to Zhongcui Palace first and deal with the Imperial Concubine first.
After all, it was Li Shushu who actually served the emperor these days. They were afraid that if the imperial concubine had a question and couldn't answer it, it would be better for Li Shushu to help.
On the way there, Nanny Liu did not forget to warn Li Shushu with her eyes: Be honest, if you dare to do anything bad, I will show you how to punish you when you get back!
Li Shushu rolled her eyes in her heart. These two were probably being too cautious. How could the Imperial Concubine possibly know about the private matters between her and the Emperor?
However, since she had the opportunity to meet the legendary imperial concubine in advance, she would not miss it.
After all, if she wants to gain a position in this palace in the future, she may face many powerful rivals besides Li Xiaodie!
In her previous life, she had never seen this imperial concubine, but only heard of her name.
I heard that this imperial concubine's surname is Yan and her name is Yuyan. She is the only legitimate sister of General Yan, who guards the country. Relying on her brother's relationship, she was promoted to a high position as soon as she entered the palace.
She was once one of the few concubines who conceived a prince for the emperor, but unfortunately, she miscarried before the baby was three months old.
In order to make up for her, the emperor and empress dowager at that time promoted her directly to the position of imperial concubine. Because she had been pregnant before, which proved that she was fertile, they had high hopes that she would become pregnant again and doted on her for a while.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Since then, there has been no movement in her belly.
Gradually, as the emperor's heart grew colder, fewer people came.
However, because of the loss of her child and her high position, the imperial concubine's heart gradually became twisted.
In short, he is moody and the only one in charge in this harem.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor knew some of this, but considering her brother's contributions to the previous dynasty, and the fact that nothing major had happened in the harem under her management in the past two years, they just turned a blind eye.
In the scorching heat, Li Xiaodie's current status meant she couldn't afford a sedan chair. By the time they reached Zhongcui Palace, they were already sweating profusely.
Li Xiaodie felt even more uncomfortable because she had acne on her body and had to wear a veil.
But now was not the time to focus on this, so they quickly reported to Zhongcui Palace.
In Zhongcui Palace, Imperial Noble Consort Yan Yuyan was leaning on the imperial concubine couch, squinting her eyes and carefully examining her long, red nails.
When someone came to pay his respects, he didn't even bother to greet them, and didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
There were four palace maids, two of them were massaging her shoulders and legs respectively, and the other two were serving her with fans on her left and right. After a while, she narrowed her eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
Li Xiaodie was half-squatting, and seeing no response from above for a long time, she mustered up the courage to stand up straight.
At this moment, Xiao Huan, the personal maidservant beside the Imperial Noble Consort, noticed and said, "How dare you! The Imperial Noble Consort didn't ask you to get up, yet you dared to get up on your own? Kneel down!"
Li Xiaodie was so frightened that her whole body shuddered. At this moment, she didn't care whether the one giving the order was the Imperial Concubine or the servant beside her. She lowered her head and knelt down with a thud.
Aunt Liu felt sorry for her mistress and was about to speak: "Your Highness the Imperial Concubine..."
But Yan Yuyan stood up nonchalantly, took the hand of the maid next to her, and went to the bedroom in the back. She yawned as she walked, "Ah, I may have gotten up too early today. I feel a little sleepy now. I need to go back to sleep..."
No matter how anxious Madam Liu was, she knew that the Imperial Noble Consort was trying to torture her young mistress on purpose, so she didn't dare to disobey and could only endure it.
After all, my young lady has served the emperor in bed three times in the past few days, but has not taken the initiative to pay her respects to the imperial concubine. I'm afraid the imperial concubine must be very angry.
Yan Yuyan took everyone away so brazenly. Except for a palace maid left to guard the hall, only Li Xiaodie was left kneeling in the hall in an orderly manner.
Yan Yuyan slept for quite a long time this time. An hour had passed and she still hadn't come out.
Li Xiaodie stayed in the closet all night last night and probably didn't get much sleep. In addition, the closet was small and she curled up inside without being able to stretch her arms and legs. She must have been extremely tired.
In the morning, she was so angry that she was pulled out of the closet as soon as the Emperor left. Before she could even stand, she was busy tidying up Li Shushu who was sleeping soundly on the bed until the Imperial Concubine sent someone to call her back.
Haven’t you had breakfast yet?
Li Xiaodie, who was kneeling in the hall at this moment, felt dizzy, her knees were swollen and numb, and she was about to fall.
Nanny Liu stood aside, wiping her sweat anxiously: What should I do? What should I do?
Li Shushu was also waiting numbly on the side, but she was happy to have some free time.
Although she was a little tired last night, she still felt sore in her crotch and her legs were a little weak, but as long as she could see Li Xiaodie unhappy, she felt happy and even a lot of fatigue was relieved.
Nanny Liu repeatedly ran to the palace maids guarding the hall and asked, "Can you help me see if the Imperial Noble Consort has woken up?"
The servant girl, however, seemed to have received the order long ago: "How dare you! Who dares to disturb the Imperial Noble Consort's sweet dream?"
About an hour and a half passed, and it was obvious that Li Xiaodie could not hold on any longer. She had fallen to the side several times. Fortunately, the thoughtful Madam Liu was there to help her every time.
The next time Madam Liu went to ask the maid for instructions, the maid, perhaps feeling that time was almost up, glanced at the ground arrogantly and said, "Wait..."
