Chapter 522 What are your intentions? !
Bu Shengyan had to stop and said, "Dad, I don't want to marry that idiot King Ying! I want to ask the Emperor to take back his decision!"
Marquis Dingyuan said with a cold face, leaning on a cane.
"The imperial edict has already been delivered to our house. Do you think that just a few words from you can make the emperor change his mind?"
Bu Shengyan said stubbornly: "I have to give it a try!"
"Nonsense! Even if you really beg the emperor, he won't change his mind. He will think that you have objections to his arrangement. The final result will only make you more embarrassed!"
Bu Shengyan pursed her lips, her eyes red: "I don't want to get married."
Marquis Dingyuan pretended not to hear her and spoke in a deep voice.
"From today on, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Stay at home."
He turned away and limped away on his crutches.
Bu Shengyan stamped her feet in anger: "Dad! I don't want to get married!"
Marquis Dingyuan did not look back, and his figure soon disappeared around the corner.
…
In Qingge Palace.
Yao Zhaoxun was eating melon seeds while sharing the gossip she had collected recently.
"I heard that the Emperor granted a marriage between the King of Ying and the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan. I never thought that these two people would be able to get together."
Although Xiao Xixi had already calculated that King Ying and Bu Shengyan were destined to be husband and wife, she did not expect that fate would come so quickly.
She asked curiously, "Did the King of England accept it?"
Based on her understanding of the King of England, he hated Bu Shengyan so much that he would definitely be extremely resistant to this marriage.
Yao Zhaoxun: "I heard that the King of England is not very satisfied, but what can we do? The Emperor has already issued an edict to grant the marriage, so this matter is set in stone. He has to agree even if he doesn't want to."
Xiao Xixi thought, maybe without knowing the King of England, Bu Shengyan would definitely not agree.
If the two of them really get married, the family will be in turmoil.
Thinking of this, she was actually a little bit looking forward to it.
Yao Zhaoxun's eyes rolled and he came over and asked gossipingly.
"The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. I heard that this year's birthday banquet will be a grand one. What gift are you going to give her?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Yao Zhaoxun: "I heard that Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai have been asking people to find good things recently. They must be planning to prepare a generous gift for the Queen Mother. Sister, hurry up and don't let others steal the limelight."
Xiao Xixi: "Let's talk about it later."
Anyway, she was just a concubine, not the Crown Princess. Even if she sent a gift, it would be drowned out by so many other gifts, and the Queen Mother would not take it to heart at all.
She would just need to give a gift similar to others.
Yao Zhaoxun changed the subject and talked about something else.
"Ever since Concubine Li was punished by the Queen, she has been staying in the Golden Wind Palace. It has been a month and she has not come out yet. Could something have happened to her?"
Among the four concubines in the Eastern Palace, Concubine Li is the most ostentatious. Even if she has nothing to do on weekdays, she will find something to do. What's more, the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. For such an important event, she should definitely come out to show her presence.
But now she was staying in the Golden Wind Palace, not going out of the main door or the second door, and making no sound at all. It was really strange.
Xiao Xixi also felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
Yao Zhaoxun urged, "Why don't we go see Concubine Li?"
Xiao Xixi thought about it. Concubine Li owed her so much money but never paid it back. She should indeed remind her to prevent Concubine Li from not paying back the debt.
She agreed to Yao Zhaoxun's proposal.
The two of them took a sedan chair to the Golden Wind Palace.
The one who came out to greet them was Su Mei.
Sumei asked them to sit down and served them tea and snacks.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Where is Concubine Li? Why hasn't she come out?"
Su Mei looked particularly embarrassed: "She hasn't been feeling well lately, so it's inconvenient for her to see guests."
Xiao Xixi: "Since you are not feeling well, then ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."
Su Mei hurriedly said, "No, it's not a big problem."
Yao Zhaoxun used her keen sense as a professional spectator to detect that Su Mei's reaction was strange. She immediately frowned and reprimanded her harshly.
"You are so bold! The concubine was ill, but you kept it a secret and refused to hire a doctor for her. What are your intentions?!"
Su Mei was so frightened that she fell to her knees and trembled as she said, "I am innocent!"
Xiao Xixi stood up: "Where is Concubine Li? Take me to see her."
Su Mei was unwilling at first, but Yao Zhaoxun was still staring at her fiercely, as if he was going to punish her if she didn't obey. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she didn't dare to refuse.
She gritted her teeth and led the way, while Xiao Xixi and Yao Zhaoxun followed behind.
The three of them came to the bedroom door.
Su Mei knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao and Yao Zhaoxun are here to see you."
Concubine Li's voice came from inside the house.
"Let them in."
Su Mei pushed open the door, turned sideways, and respectfully invited Concubine Xiao and Yao Zhaoxun into the room.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Concubine Li lying on the couch.
The moment they saw Concubine Li, they couldn't help but gasp!
Concubine Li was originally a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and charming appearance.
But now, her oval face has turned into a big round face, her slender waist has turned into a bucket waist, and even her ten slender jade fingers have turned into chubby fat paws.
Xiao Xixi and Yao Zhaoxun couldn't believe that the fat woman in front of them was actually Concubine Li!
Su Mei had obviously anticipated their reaction and explained in a low voice.
"Concubine Li has been staying in the house for the past month. She has not gone anywhere. She eats and sleeps all day long. Her appetite is getting bigger and bigger every day. She has become what you see now."
This is why she didn't want Concubine Xiao and Yao Zhaoxun to meet Concubine Li. Concubine Li was too fat now, and she was afraid that others would laugh at her.
Xiao Xixi spoke with difficulty: "Concubine Li, what has stimulated you?"
Concubine Li sat up a little straighter and picked up the snack box beside her.
As she ate, she said, "Didn't you say that if you are in a bad mood, you should eat more and turn your anger into appetite. I think your idea is very good. I am very happy now and not sad at all."
Xiao Xixi didn't expect that this was actually her fault.
She asked tentatively, "Do you know how fat you are now?"
Concubine Li swallowed the snack in her mouth and said, "I am a little fatter, but it's okay."
Xiao Xixi looked around and didn't see any dressing mirror in the room. There was only a small glass mirror on the dressing table.
Such a small mirror can only reflect the face, not the whole body.
Xiao Xixi said to Su Mei.
"Go get a big dressing mirror."
"Yes."
Soon Sumei asked two young eunuchs to bring a dressing mirror.
Following Concubine Xiao's instructions, they placed the dressing mirror in front of Concubine Li.
Concubine Li didn't take it seriously at first, until she accidentally caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, then she suddenly froze.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
She, she has become this fat!
Concubine Li: It is so happy to be a salted fish who only eats and waits to die!
