Concubine Li knew that the Thirteenth Prince was going to the Shen family, and she refused.
The Thirteenth Prince was anxious: "Mother, I want to go."
"no."
The Thirteenth Prince begged, "Mother, I will not reveal my true identity. I will go see her and come back soon."
Concubine Li wanted to refuse, but seeing his firm attitude and sincere pleading eyes, Concubine Li couldn't bear it and could only ask the emperor for a favor and test the emperor's intentions.
If the emperor really likes the Shen family and this marriage, he would not refuse.

As for her, it's even less like that.
Concubine Li knew that she was the most selfish person. In order to avoid being buried with her son in the future, she had to keep her son in her hands. Even if he became a despised fool and was despised by those high-ranking concubines, she wanted to keep her son by her side.
I'm not afraid that my son will suffer if he follows another woman.
Concubine Li knew that following her would bring hardship.

How could she give away the only son she had given birth to at great pains?
