Thinking back, Li Zhiwei was originally supposed to marry the heir of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion, but later, Xu Qingshi took her back to the Prince of An's mansion.
Could it be that the person in Li Zhiwei's heart is actually the heir of the Marquis of Ru'an?
However, thinking about it, the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion has long since been destroyed.
All of this was because of Li Zhiwei.
Just as Consort Lan was about to say something more, she saw the Empress walking towards them from not far away.
Consort Lan quickly suppressed the fierce look on her face and adopted a gentle and dignified demeanor, bowing to the Empress.
"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects."
"Your Majesty, this humble woman/daughter greets Your Majesty the Empress." Lin Ziyi quickly pulled Li Zhiwei along and gave her a deep bow.
However, Li Zhiwei had actually met the Empress before, so she didn't feel the same embarrassment she had when she first met Consort Lan.
Instead, he generously bowed deeply to the Empress.
"No need for formalities," the Empress said gently.
"How did Miss Li get these injuries on her face?" The Empress looked at Li Zhiwei with a loving expression, but was shocked to see that Li Zhiwei had some bruises on her face.
Consort Lan was only thinking about how to ridicule Li Zhiwei and hadn't paid attention to this detail at all. After hearing the Empress's words, she also looked at Li Zhiwei.
Seeing the marks on Li Zhiwei's face, Consort Lan felt annoyed. Why hadn't she noticed?
The Empress had a very good impression of Li Zhiwei. After all, what woman could have the courage to donate her dowry so readily?
The Emperor told her that Li Zhiwei's things had helped many ordinary people.
As the Empress, she should naturally be grateful to Li Zhiwei.
Now, it turns out that Li Zhiwei is injured.
The Empress was immediately displeased. Who was this person who dared to bully even the future Princess Consort of An?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My injury is nothing serious." Li Zhiwei felt somewhat uneasy, knowing that her injury must not look very good.
If she weren't afraid that not coming would be disobeying the emperor's will, she actually wouldn't want to enter the palace today.
However, since she had come, Li Zhiwei was actually prepared to be ridiculed.
Just now, Li Zhiwei thought that Consort Lan would bring up the injury on her face when she looked at her. But she didn't expect that although Consort Lan's words were barbed, she seemed to not see the injury on her face at all.
This made her doubt whether she was actually injured.
"How could you be alright? Such a pretty little face, injured like this, wouldn't Prince An be heartbroken to see it?" the Empress teased.
"Your Majesty, Sister Li's injury was sustained while protecting the young prince," Lin Ziyi said, following the Empress's words.
After all, the Prince of Zhennan's mansion has not yet been punished.
"Qing Shi was the heir of the Prince An's mansion. Who was so blind as to bully even a child?" The Empress asked with a frown. After all, it was not only a slap in the face to the Prince An's mansion, but also to the Emperor. Who did not know that the Prince An was the Emperor's confidant?
"They are from the Prince of Zhennan's mansion," Lin Ziyi quickly complained to the Empress.
He told the Empress everything, which could be considered revenge for his sister.
After Lin Ziyi finished complaining, she felt much better.
"Outrageous!" The Empress was furious upon hearing this. It seemed that she could not stay in the Prince of Zhennan's mansion any longer.
"What has made my Empress so angry?" A figure in bright yellow walked over from the side of the Imperial Garden. Seeing the Empress's anger, the figure assumed that one of his concubines had angered her again.
