"Ah, why did she come? Well, let's get it ready quickly."
The virtuous concubine sighed, and immediately changed her clothes and put on her makeup with the help of the palace maids. She also had new cakes and tea served.
Just when she was busy, Su Lili was forced to accept the new plot. While biting her fingers, she couldn't help looking out the window.
According to the original novel of Siming Xingjun, Concubine Hui Li Huilan and Queen Yuyao were a pair of good sisters who could talk about anything before entering the palace.
But unfortunately, they were both selected to enter the deep palace, and their status were very different.
Li Huilan also had complaints, so she became increasingly distant from Yuyao. Yuyao was walking on thin ice in her high position, and the rift between her best sister made her even more heartbroken.
In the original novel, Li Huilan was devastated after the loss of her daughter and soon fell seriously ill. Yu Yao did not hesitate to make a special trip to the cold palace to visit her and brought many good things.
It is said that true friendship is tested in times of adversity. Li Huilan finally accepted her good sister again, but due to her serious illness, she passed away on a moonlit night.
Yu Yao cried so much that she was in tears and was depressed all day long. In addition, she was infected with the disease and died a few days later, following Li Huilan.
[Touching, so touching, the Queen is such a good person...]
...
...
Su Lili sat on a small stool and wiped the sparkling tears from the corners of her eyes. As soon as the queen entered the room, she saw the baby's dejected look.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and long life."
Before the Queen could take a closer look, she was blocked by Concubine Xian, and then she gave a standard bow.
"Huilan, there is no need to be so polite in front of me."
The queen raised her hand to help, but Concubine Xian quickly dodged her move, and her outstretched arm froze in place.
It was a bit awkward, but the queen was not annoyed. She sat down and picked up a dessert to eat.
The sweet and soft taste makes your eyes brighten suddenly.
"Wow, it's delicious. It tastes exactly like the bakery in Beijing!"
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. If you really like this cake, you can bring some back to your Fengyi Palace."
The virtuous concubine stood there with her head lowered, unconsciously revealing a bit of alienation.
Su Lili quietly poked her head out and carefully observed the young queen in front of her. She saw that her facial features were soft and delicate, and her skin was whiter than winter snow.
Her black hair was tied into a complicated bun and dotted with golden hairpins. She was wearing a bright red embroidered long skirt, but she did not give people a sense of majesty. Instead, she looked a bit naive.
[Wow, the Queen is so beautiful and cute, just like a big sister! ]
The queen was busy eating cakes and pastries when she suddenly heard the baby's praise and nearly choked to death on the cake crumbs in her mouth.
When I looked up, I met a pair of big round eyes, and excitement immediately flashed in their eyes.
Could it be that what I heard was actually her inner voice? It was so magical!
"This must be the little princess, right? She's so cute, just like the little boy under the seat of Guanyin!"
"By the way, can you hug her? Just for a moment!"
The virtuous concubine's eyelids twitched, and she immediately wanted to refuse, but Su Lili crawled in front of the queen using her hands and feet and opened her chubby little arms.
"Li Li, hurry back to your mother, or you might offend the queen and get punished!"
[No, the Queen looks beautiful and kind, she won't hurt me, I want a hug from the Queen! ]
Convinced that it was the little baby's voice, the queen immediately and carefully held her in her arms. Feeling the warm and soft touch in her arms, she was reluctant to let go for a moment.
[mua, I love the Queen so much! ]
Su Lili gave the Queen a big kiss on the cheek. Her bold little look scared Concubine Xian to the point of losing her soul.
My goodness, you are kissing the queen! If you are not careful and cause her wrath, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Haha, what an interesting little princess, so soft and cute, I really like her!"
The queen was teasing the little one in her arms and making jokes, but unexpectedly Su Lili hugged her finger, put it in her mouth, and even bit it gently.
The palace servants around were frightened by Su Lili's boldness and kept silent.
The virtuous concubine felt dizzy in front of her eyes. Su Lili was the most daring person to dare to bite the queen with her teeth.
[Awoo, mother is so kind! You and mother are both so gentle, you will definitely become the best sisters! ]
"Haha, yes, we are good sisters!"
The Queen kissed her soft little face and loved her very much. In front of her, the virtuous concubine couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Someone once told her that Yuyao looked innocent and kind, but in fact she was a ruthless and cruel character, and she became the queen through bloody and despicable means.
If you want to live well in the harem, you must stay away from terrible scheming bitches like Yu Yao, otherwise you deserve to be plotted against and betrayed.
Therefore, she had always suspected that Yu Yao was pretending and was a villain at heart, but when she saw this scene, her old prejudices began to waver.
The little girl is the most innocent and can best sense who is truly good to her. The fact that she is so close to Yuyao this time also shows that she trusts Yuyao from the bottom of her heart.
Could it be that I have really wronged my best sister over the years?
【well! 】
Just when I was thinking about a lot of things, I suddenly heard the little baby sigh.
[Unfortunately, someone deliberately sowed discord between the mother and the queen, and reaped the benefits. The mother did not reconcile with the queen until her death, and in the end they died together, what a tragedy! ]
[And the person who sowed discord eventually replaced the Queen Mother as the new Queen, until the Great Yong Kingdom was completely destroyed...]
After she finished speaking, Concubine Xian raised her eyes and looked at the Queen. She thought about it carefully and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Su Lili's predictive ability has long been proven, and her suspicion of Yu Yao was indeed instigated by others.
At the time, she just listened to some idle gossip, but it had been influencing her subtly without her realizing it, and eventually became a deep-rooted obsession in her heart.
It is not too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost. Fortunately, Su Lili was there to save her sisterhood which was almost broken.
"My Queen, I'm sorry. I was just provoked by the slander of the little people and had a misunderstanding."
The virtuous concubine stood up and bowed earnestly to the queen, her voice slightly choked with sobs.
"Oh, Sister Xianfei, please get up quickly. I never meant to blame you!"
The Queen gently supported Concubine Xian's arm and helped her sit in the chair. She said with a smile, "In the deep palace, it is not easy to have a companion who knows you well. I really cherish this friendship and I am very happy to be able to go back to the past."
[Great! My mother and the queen finally reconciled. We just need to work together to investigate and the real culprit who sowed discord will be caught! ]
In the Queen's arms, Su Lili flapped her short legs excitedly, looking full of energy.
