"My Lord, I have taken good care of your chickens, ducks and fish."
"No one died. All are in perfect health."
"Well, very good. I will go and take a look after returning to the palace later." Si Muqiao said in a good mood.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at Li Zhaoyi's Zhaohua Palace.
"Your servant greets Lady Si." The eunuch at the door immediately bowed when he saw Si Muqiao appear.
"No need to be polite. Is Li Zhaoyi here?"
"To answer Lady Sima, the Empress Zhaoyi is here. Please wait a moment. I will call someone to take you in."
Soon, a palace maid came out and led Si Muqiao to the main hall where Li Zhaoyi lived.
"My lady, Lady Sima is here."
"What? Sister Si is here? Come in."
As she said this, Li Zhaoyi, who was lying lazily on the chaise longue, sat up.
While asking the palace maid beside her to help her put on her shoes, she put the book in her hand on the table next to her.
"Sister Li, how are you these days? Sister Si is here to pay her respects to you!" Si Muqiao bowed to Li Zhaoyi.
"You're welcome, come and sit down."
After Li Zhaoyi asked her to sit down, she instructed the palace maids around her to serve her tea and water.
"I heard from your people that you would come to see me after the cold palace is unsealed, so I have been waiting."
"I never thought that Sister Si would finally come."
"You've been out for so long, are you hurt?"
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Li. I'm not sick or injured. Everything is fine." Si Muqiao replied with a smile.
"If I hadn't asked a few questions before and went to take a look myself, I wouldn't have known that Sister Si was taken out of the palace by His Majesty."
"I'm sorry, Sister Li, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it was His Majesty who didn't allow me to do so."
"I know. I don't blame you. It's all His Majesty's fault. It would have been fine for him to leave the palace incognito, but why did he bring you with him?"
"Sister Si, please tell me quickly, did you encounter any danger when you went out this time?"
"Okay, then I'll just chat with my sister."
In the following time, Li Zhaoyi dismissed the serving palace maids and eunuchs and listened to Si Muqiao talking about leaving the palace.
Even Tang Yuan and Li Zhaoyi's personal maids retreated to a place not far away.
Si Muqiao spoke for nearly an hour.
There have been so many things that happened to me since I left the palace.
She just selectively told Li Zhaoyi some of the things she mentioned.
As a result, after hearing this, Li Zhaoyi's face was filled with indignation and fear.
"Sister Si, you are smart and lucky, otherwise... you wouldn't be able to return safely."
"Your Majesty is really something, how could he do that!"
"It's bad enough that you've wasted all your hard work, but you're also being asked to risk your life alone in the epidemic area to save people."
"He...he is really unreasonable!" Li Zhaoyi couldn't help but frowned slightly and complained about Murong Qingli several times.
I have to say that Li Zhaoyi is really beautiful.
Even with his frown on his face, he looked very vivid.
It is not an exaggeration to call her a fairy sister.
"Actually, he's not that bad. He does have a lot of flaws, but from what I've seen, he really cares about the people."
"Also, it was only because he went there personally that peace was restored to Guozhou."
Si Muqiao's words were quite serious and pertinent.
As a result, Li Zhaoyi's brows furrowed even more.
"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, it is his responsibility to care for the people."
"He deserves praise for personally going to Guozhou and relieving the disaster in Guozhou."
"But he is not a good man worthy of entrusting your life to."
"Is this how he takes care of you, his sister, all the way here?"
"Even an outsider like me feels that Sister Si has suffered a lot this time, but he didn't say anything?"
"Even after all this, Sister Si, you're still speaking well of him."
"You know, there is no true love among the royal family. Don't be fooled by His Majesty's appearance and lose your heart."
"Listen to my sister's advice. When living in the harem, the first thing is to protect yourself, and the second is to guard your heart."
"Don't get emotional with His Majesty, or your future days will be very difficult."
After hearing Li Zhaoyi's earnest words to her, Si Muqiao naturally nodded repeatedly.
So many TV shows and novels about palace fighting illustrate one truth.
Your Majesty has always been heartless.
There can be thousands of women in the harem, and Your Majesty can love one after another.
Anyway, the world is so big, any woman the emperor values can enter the palace.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhaoyi was so clear-headed.
How rare!
No wonder, she had never heard of Li Zhaoyi doing anything to get close to His Majesty.
She was like an outsider who was detached from the world and seldom left Zhaohua Palace unless necessary.
He always hid in Zhaohua Palace to read books, play chess, and occasionally play the piano.
"Thank you Sister Li for the reminder. I will pay attention to it." Si Muqiao said solemnly.
"Well, just don't blame your sister for being too talkative." Li Zhaoyi said.
"No, Sister Li really loves me and treats me as a sister, so she told me so much. I know."
"By the way, Sister Li, I brought you a few gifts this time. Do you like them?"
After saying that, Simuqiao handed the handwritten poems, chess scores and piano scores she brought with her to Li Zhaoyi.
Li Zhaoyi took it with a little curiosity and opened it to have a look.
As soon as I saw it, I was fascinated.
I saw the following poem written on the first page.
"Fisherman's Song: Reeds in Autumn."
"Author: Li Xun."
"In the autumn when the reeds bloom, at night in Xiaoxiang, the beautiful scenery of Juzhou is like a painting on a screen. In the green smoke and under the bright moon, the small boat has just stopped fishing."
"Water is my hometown, tents are my homes, fish soup and rice are my regular meals. My cups are full of wine, my shelves are filled with books, and I don't care about fame or wealth."
Li Zhaoyi couldn't help but read it aloud.
Then, she was seen with a look of ecstasy on her face.
"In the autumn moon over Xiaoxiang, a small boat is about to return from fishing. It is like a poem, a painting, a dream, and a fantasy. What a good poem! It is really a good poem!"
Unable to conceal her excitement, she turned to the second page.
The second page is Bai Juyi's question to Liu Nineteen.
The poem is just four lines long, with only twenty words. It has no profound meaning and no fancy words, but the words are filled with cheerful and warm tones.
There is also a warm and warm friendship.
It was the song of green ants, new wine, and red clay stove.
It’s going to snow in the evening, can I have a drink?
After reading this poem, Li Zhaoyi was immersed in it again.
Her beautiful face, as cold and as beautiful as a fairy, was now filled with rich emotions, and there were ripples in her dark eyes.
Si Muqiao was stunned by what he saw.
Wow, so beautiful!
Li Zhaoyi is really beautiful!
It's really worth it to be friends with such a beautiful woman.
Li Zhaoyi didn't know that Si Muqiao, who was sitting in front of her, was coveting her beauty.
She was still deeply immersed in this beautiful poem and couldn't extricate herself.
"Sister Li?"
It was only when Si Muqiao called her at the right time that she came back to her senses.
