Of course, one person suddenly slid off his seat and knelt properly on the ground, his voice clear and anxious.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. We beg you to forgive her this time, considering that Consort Xian and Your Majesty are sisters!"
Pear white? ???
The speaker was none other than Lady Li, who was enjoying her snacks in Linghu Lan Palace.
Linghu Lan couldn't help but facepalm: Letting you into the palace was absolutely the worst decision I've ever made. You are definitely a spy sent by the enemy.
Yue Qingyin shuddered, lowered her head, but a cold smile appeared on her lips.
idiot!
Sister, this is the concubine you love and protect. Watch how she makes you proud!
Linghu Lan remained silent.
What can I do to save you, my little darling!
Lady Li panicked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I just feel that the punishment is too severe. I'm worried that Consort Xian's hands will be too sore after copying the scriptures a hundred times."
Perhaps sensing the strange atmosphere around her, Li Shunu lowered her voice.
Linghu Lan thought for a moment and then smiled, “Miss Li, I have a question for you. Answer me honestly.”
"Yes! Your Majesty, I am listening carefully. Please speak, Your Majesty."
"You were personally selected by me to be a concubine in the palace. Since you have pleaded with me, I cannot ignore you. However, a palace cannot stand without its rules. Therefore, I will let you choose for yourself. I can spare Consort Yuexian's punishment, but from now on you will never be allowed to eat any of my palace's pastries again. Are you willing?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Empress was extremely fond of this little concubine, as she had given her such an easy question.
Do we even need to choose a question? Of course, we don't want any snacks!
"ah?"
Li Bai's eyes widened, her mouth gaped open, and her face suddenly became contorted with anger, almost to the point of wanting to fight.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty"
Su Niaoyue sighed silently, her gaze towards Li Bai filled with pity.
Because they were all newly arrived ladies-in-waiting, they shared a sense of camaraderie and thought they could look after each other in the palace. Yue Qingyin also held a high rank, so these newly arrived ladies-in-waiting were all close to her.
Therefore, she never dreamed that Yue Qingyin would frame her.
It seems that Li Bai is much like herself back then; at this moment, she will definitely choose not to eat snacks and instead rescue Yue Qingyin.
Little did they know that this action would offend the Empress.
She felt a surge of anxiety and coughed lightly twice.
Li Bai glanced at her, looking completely bewildered.
Linghu Lan found it extremely amusing to look at her conflicted face.
"What? Is it hard to choose?"
Su Niaoyue coughed twice more.
Linghu Lan laughed and said, "It seems that Consort Su is so angry with that scoundrel that she's gotten quite agitated. We should take some turtle jelly back with us later to help her cool down!"
Su Niaoyue blushed and stammered, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness!"
Li Bai, unfamiliar with such social niceties, closed her eyes and said firmly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty chooses what to eat!"
“”
The entire hall was completely silent!
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they had misheard!
Which food did she choose?
Su Niaoyu: "I'm overthinking it!"
Linghu Lan: ""
All right
You win! You've proven yourself a foodie with your life, and I'm very pleased!
Yue Qingyin:
Her expression quickly turned cold.
idiot!
Li Bai felt a little apologetic, and she stammered, "Your Highness, I'm so sorry, but the pastries in the Empress's palace are just too delicious, even better than those made in the Imperial Kitchen."
Yue Qingyin:
Shut up and stop talking!
