Chapter 7: Mother is so awesome today, Mother is awesome, our crisis is over
However, Concubine Qing did not take the two princes seriously because their biological mothers were palace maids. She acted as if she did not see the group of people and led her people into Qiu Shui Ju first, even glancing at the two princes.
Seeing this, the two princes suddenly dared not go in.
Empress Li wants to talk to her best sister and probably doesn't want to be disturbed.
They should wait until Concubine Qing comes out before going in.
"Sister? Sister is here to see you!"
Before Qing Fei even entered, she was already calling out to people with a smile on her face. Her voice was so friendly.
People who don’t know would really think that she and Concubine Li are best sisters.
Concubine Li led Jiujiu to the door to welcome the guests. When she saw Concubine Qing, she said calmly, "Since you are here, please come in and sit down."
Concubine Qing was a little surprised. Concubine Li hadn't seen her for a long time. Shouldn't she be very excited to see her again today? Shouldn't she come forward and hug her tightly, telling her what she had been thinking about all these years?
Why do I feel that her attitude towards me today is a little cold?
Concubine Qing walked into the room with an uneasy feeling and sat down. After drinking a sip of tea, she said, "Sister, you are finally out of the cold palace. I am happy for you."
“You’re welcome.”
"And the eighteenth prince has grown so big already." Concubine Qing smiled and stretched out her hand towards Jiujiu, "Can you hold him?"
Jiujiu was unwilling. She turned around and faced her butt towards Qingfei, not wanting to even look at Qingfei.
[I don't want to be such a troublemaker. 】
【Mother, please send her away quickly. 】
Concubine Li patted Jiujiu's head soothingly: "The child is shy, forget it!"
“…Alright.”
"Someone, serve tea!"
After the tea was served, Qing Fei sipped her tea while looking around Qiu Shui Ju, and then said enviously: "Sister, your new home is really gorgeous, unlike my sister's Qing Cui Xuan, which is simple, shabby, and leaky."
In the past, as soon as Concubine Qing finished saying this, Concubine Li would have quickly invited Concubine Qing to live with her.
But at this moment, Concubine Li smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help repair it? It's useless to tell your younger sister that I can't repair it."
“……” Qing Fei choked.
How was this different from what she expected?
Why didn't Concubine Li invite her to live in Qiu Shui?
Concubine Qing coughed twice and said, "Sister, I have no children. Those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are just trying to get something for nothing. They are always bullying me. How can they help you repair the house?"
"Is that so?" Concubine Li said, "But your dress looks really good, is it made of Shu brocade? If the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs really treat you badly, how can you wear such good material? You are joking."
"I……"
Qing Fei was choked again and was speechless.
Finally, she thought about it and said, "Sister actually has selfish motives. Qiushuiju is very big, and it is inevitable that my sister will be lonely if she lives alone. How about sister move in with my sister? So that I can take care of her?"
Haha, Jiujiu’s prediction turned out to be correct.
Qing Fei wants her life!
Concubine Li smiled, but her heart was chilled. "Look at what you said, sister. I have lived in the cold palace for so many years, but you never felt sorry for me because I was lonely, let alone took care of me? Now that my life is better and I have a good place to live, sister suddenly started to feel sorry for me. I wonder if you have other intentions?"
Qing Fei was a little flustered when her heart was touched, but it only lasted for a short while. She said, "How can that be true? Sister is my best sister. We have known each other since childhood. The world can witness my sincerity towards you. Why do you say that?"
“…”
Princess Li just smiled and said nothing.
Concubine Qing was very upset when she saw Concubine Li's stubborn look.
Why did Concubine Li suddenly start to be on guard against her?
She was a little unwilling, pretending to be very angry, stood up, shook her sleeves fiercely and said: "Sister, don't you want me to move in with you? Is that why you say this to me?"
“It’s really chilling.”
"You can just tell me directly if your sister hates me. Why do you have to beat around the bush?"
Concubine Qing said as she walked towards the door, looking disappointed and ready to leave. In fact, she was deliberately acting angry so that Concubine Li would panic and try to keep her, and she could then naturally bring up the matter of staying in Qiu Shui Ju.
By then, she will definitely be able to stay in Qiu Shui Ju.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li did not stop him and said, "Come here, send the guest away."
Qing Fei: “…………”
Did she backfire? Not only did she not get what she wanted, but she also left Qiushuiju.
It was not convenient for her to go back and talk to Concubine Li about staying in Qiu Shui Ju.
Qing Fei almost fainted from anger.
Jiujiu was so happy when she saw her mother arguing with Concubine Qing and stopping her from moving into Qiu Shui Residence.
[Ahhh, mother is so awesome today, mother is so great, our crisis is resolved, mother please continue to be like this in the future. ]
【Jiujiu loves her mother to death.】
Jiujiu held Concubine Li's face and kissed her on both sides.
Nanny Gui came to report: "Your Majesty, the Tenth and Eleventh Princes are here too, but they are wandering outside at the moment and seem to be afraid to come in."
[Tenth Brother and Eleventh Brother? ]
[In the book, these two people have always been good friends with my brother Thirteen. After Thirteen got into trouble, they also helped to save people, but they didn't tell anyone. I also saw it at the end of the book. In order to save Thirteen, they didn't marry or have children, and finally lost their lives.]
[But mother doesn’t know, and mother has never liked them. ]
[The reason they didn't dare to come in at this moment was because they were worried that their mother would be angry if she saw them.]
"Mother." Jiujiu stretched out her little hand, pulled Li Fei's sleeve, and said softly, "Can you let them in? They are all the best people to my brother."
When Concubine Li heard what Jiujiu had just said, she was also shocked. She didn't expect that the Tenth and Eleventh Brothers would sacrifice their lives to save her Thirteenth Brother.
She had some prejudice against these two people, thinking that their biological mothers were disliked by the emperor, and they were born as palace maids, and they always hung out with the Thirteenth Prince. But no matter how big the prejudice was, it seemed insignificant in front of such a deep and sincere friendship.
Concubine Li nodded heavily, "Okay, mother, please invite them in right away."
"Then mother is not allowed to be mean to them?" Jiujiu said, with sadness written all over her fair and tender face.
After being banished to the cold palace, Concubine Li experienced the fickleness of human nature and understood the value of sincerity. She said, "Don't worry, mother will treat them well."
After Concubine Li finished speaking, she took Jiujiu out of the door and went to greet the Tenth and Eleventh Princes in person.
When the two princes saw Concubine Li, they didn't dare to look at her. They both lowered their heads and pinched their lapels with their hands, looking very uneasy and nervous.
They were afraid of being ridiculed and scolded by Concubine Li, so they handed the gifts in their hands to the nanny next to them and prepared to leave.
But before leaving, they still said, "Empress Li, congratulations on leaving the cold palace. This is just a small gift. It's not a token of respect, but please accept it."
"Don't worry about Thirteenth Brother. We will find a way."
After saying that, he was about to leave, and he looked very scared.
