When Di Zisu saw Consort Li shed tears, she didn't think much of it.
Because Li Cai Ren often acted this way, she didn't realize it was Hua Rong's fault.
She said cautiously, "Mother Li, that lady wasn't as fierce as before, and she looked so beautiful."
Children always have a particularly sharp eye.
Her focus is different from that of adults.
After taking back the embroidery she had just given the young eunuch, Consort Li patted Di Zisu's head.
"Your Highness is right. Consort Mei is a beautiful and kind person. Please remember to greet her when you see her in the future."
"Mmm!" Di Zisu nodded; she simply thought Hua Rong was beautiful.
After walking a distance, Hua Rong said to Liu Yiyi, "Go and investigate what happened to this Consort Li before she entered the palace. Remember, don't let anyone else know. Especially the one in the Hall of Diligent Governance."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi's eyes darkened.
She always knew that Hua Rong understood that she was cultivating her own power in the palace.
Seeing that Hua Rong didn't stop her, and also wanting to become Hua Rong's right-hand woman, she didn't stop at all.
Now that Hua Rong is saying this, it seems she wants to test her power.
After all, it wouldn't be easy to deceive the one in the Hall of Diligent Governance.
Moreover, what secrets could this timid and submissive Lady Li possibly have?
However, since Hua Rong said that, she must have her reasons.
Hua Rong was certain that she hadn't misread the situation; this Di Zisu was indeed the Dragon Girl.
However, the bloodline in her body is different from that of Emperor Chengqian and Consort Li!
This was somewhat puzzling. She had originally thought that Di Zisu was either Li Cairen's child with someone else, or that Bu Mie was not Emperor Chengqian's offspring.
As it turns out, this Di Zisu was neither the daughter of Consort Li nor the daughter of Emperor Chengqian.
So whose daughter is she?
Hua Rong was genuinely curious.
If she weren't afraid of attracting the attention of the hidden Dragon King, she could have gone back in time to see what Di Zisu's background was.
I always felt that as a dragon girl, her reincarnation must have been quite remarkable.
Perhaps those two Buddhas in the Nine Heavens secretly granted her a cheat code.
However, once such a thing is done, it is very difficult to leave any trace.
Emperor Chengqian simply didn't care about Di Zisu and Consort Li.
Otherwise, Li Cairen and Di Zisu would be nothing more than a handful of dust now.
After strolling around for a while, Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi prepared to return to Cangmei Palace.
To be honest, the two of them felt uneasy and itchy all over if they didn't smoke Di Bu Mie today.
But I never expected things to turn out so turbulent today.
On their way back, they encountered Consort Xian and Consort Dong.
The virtuous concubine sat in a pavilion drinking tea, with a stove burning around her, looking very comfortable.
Outside the pavilion in front of her, Consort Dong knelt, dressed in thin clothes.
She had only one personal maidservant kneeling beside her.
In this freezing weather, I'm afraid that Lady Dong won't be able to walk for long after she starts kneeling.
In a more serious case, he might be crippled.
Even if you're lucky, the weather might change and become windy and rainy, and you'll still have leg problems.
"This Consort Xian really has nothing better to do than be the next Consort Mei?"
Hua Rong felt frustrated, while Liu Yiyi beside her sneered.
"This Consort Xian really thinks she can do whatever she wants just because her father is the former prime minister. Dong Zhenzhen just said a few nice things to me, and she can't stand it! What's the big deal? We're all consorts, and we all have sons."
Hua Rong laughed when she heard Liu Yiyi's words.
He stepped down from the sedan chair, reached out and helped Liu Yiyi down, saying, "What are you saying? Let's go, let's get her."
Liu Yiyi: ⊙▽⊙
What to do? I suddenly find Consort Mei so adorable.
what to do?
what to do?
I was already a fan, is this the start of me becoming a die-hard fan?
Liu Yiyi blushed slightly as she grasped Hua Rong's hand.
After quietly touching her face, she followed Hua Rong slowly toward the pavilion.
Consort Xian saw Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi from afar, but she considered herself one of the four consorts, whose status was strictly higher than Hua Rong's, so she pretended not to see Hua Rong.
Although everyone in the palace knows that in the Emperor's heart, Hua Rong will always be number one, even surpassing the Empress.
"Sister, you must be very busy. You didn't even come out to greet your two younger sisters? But I can understand why you're busy. After all, you don't have to serve the Emperor, so you have to find more things to do."
After Hua Rong went inside, she sat directly opposite Consort Xian.
Then he poured himself a cup of tea and also poured one for Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
When Consort Xian saw their posture, she became somewhat displeased.
What's there to be proud of? It's just being favored.
Doesn't she know what kind of person the Emperor is?
It's only because of their family background that they received a bit more pampering.
Do you really think it's love? How naive!
“Sister Mei, what are you saying? It’s snowing, so I couldn’t see clearly and didn’t look outside. But now that I see you, Sister Mei, I’m so happy that I haven’t said anything. Please don’t misunderstand, Sister Mei.”
Consort Xian had no intention of giving Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi a kind look.
But she's not the first time she's suffered from being ignored.
Once upon a time, when a concubine was favored by the emperor, he went to fight against her, but in the end, the emperor still sided with that concubine.
She will wait, until Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi have both lost power.
Then that will be the time for her to make her move!
Thinking about this made her feel much better.
Because she suddenly remembered that concubine from the past, who had now been turned into a human pig by her.
I put it under the bed and take it out to admire it every day.
Consort Xian was certain that anyone who opposed her would come to a bad end.
"On such a snowy day, Consort Xian actually said she couldn't see clearly? Then you must be getting old. Perhaps you could go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine? After all, the scenery is so beautiful, it would be a pity if you couldn't see it."
Liu Yiyi's words are particularly poignant.
Consort Xian hates it when people say she's old!
Although she was indeed nearing the end of her life compared to the delicate flowers in the palace.
But as a woman, I don't like to hear the word "old".
"Sister Liu is in the prime of her life, and she lives with Sister Mei. Naturally, she gets to see the Emperor often, which is something my elder sister can't compare to."
Consort Xian truly lives up to her reputation as a cunning old fox in the palace. Her words suggest that if Hua Rong and Liu Yiyi were constantly vying for Emperor Chengqian's favor, they would likely turn against each other.
They said that Liu Yiyi was in her prime, and that she could only see Emperor Chengqian by living in the Cangmei Palace.
Hehe, these two sentences are enough to show how ruthless Consort Xian is.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. Neither Hua Rong nor Liu Yiyi cared about the favor of that old, aging Emperor Chengqian.
All they ever wanted was power. As for that old geezer, whoever wanted him in the harem could have him!
