boudoir

Chapter 326
Liuli watched the queen go away, then sat down slowly leaning against the railing.

There was hearty laughter from the Zichen Palace on the other side of the lake. On the terrace by the lake, there was a bright yellow figure sitting on the ground, surrounded by many civil servants and generals.

Not far from here, the wives of various families are visiting the garden, admiring flowers, tasting tea and wine, how graceful and leisurely they look.If it wasn't for praying for Yunhao, or for thinking of such tricks as knocking down the screen and injuring Liuli, as Duan Wenhui, he would surely be able to live as leisurely and calmly as them in the future.It's a pity that at the moment, he has become the queen's pawn by himself, and he wants to come to her to do this act of flying moths to the flame.

The queen thinks that she has done a perfect job, and no one can refuse to send someone to the palace in her name, not even Qi Yunhao—not as his wife or concubine, but to help Liuli, saying that she is The maid is also available, saying that she is a female imperial envoy sent by the queen. In short, people who come out of the palace have the status of female officials bestowed by the queen. What reason can you find to refuse?
Ever since Liuli knew that the queen had taken Duan Wenhui into the palace, she had thought of this, because apart from this, the queen had no other reason to do this.The only possibility for her to do this is to put Duan Wenhui into the palace as a female official, and put it next to Qi Yunhao. In this way, outsiders have no idea that the person sent in is the ruined Duan Wenhui. If it really comes in the future, Qi Yunhao will be needed When choosing between her and Liuli, when she was to be made the first wife or something, Duan Wenhui's reputation would not be a reason for the palace to abandon her.

The empress's favor to Duan Wenhui and the Zhongyonghou's residence is not insignificant.So, why don't the whole family of Zhongyonghou's mansion and Duan Wenhui not work for her and the prince?

After sitting silently for a while, the sun rose unknowingly. She glanced in the direction of Zichen Hall, and the laughter on the terrace subsided a little. Some people stood up and looked at it, vaguely like they were reciting poems.The bright yellow figure was still sitting on the ground, but he hadn't moved for a long time, obviously not as good as before.

Liuli stood up with a flick of her skirt, and walked down the steps slowly.

If she guessed right, the Holy Majesty would have to find a place to rest for a while after the meal before going out to visit the garden with his courtiers.

She suddenly changed her mind and didn't want to go back so early.

The luncheon was held in the Zhaohua Hall, and the ten princesses accompanied the queen to sit at the head, accepting birthday greetings from all parties.The wine specially provided by the Western Regions was indeed mellow and attractive. After Liuli tried it with a silver needle quietly, she took two sips before putting it in the glass.

Soon, she left.All the women who came here today were high-ranking wives, and the queen didn't pay much attention to her, so when she came out, she didn't see much.

It was very quiet outside the hall at the moment.Standing under the shade of the tree, Liuli saw the bright yellow figure in the Zichen Palace get on the soft chariot, so she followed forward, called a maid, and asked, "Where is the Holy One going?" The maid didn't know her, but she knew she was coming today. Those who can't afford to offend are all people, so he said: "The Holy Majesty is going to Yongfu Palace to rest."

Liuli nodded, rewarded her with broken silver coins, pretended to be sightseeing, and walked towards Yongfu Palace on foot.

The bright yellow sedan chair entered the Yongfu Palace, the Holy One stepped out, and walked into the palace with the support of the eunuch.

When Liuli reached the gate of the palace, she hesitated again.The emperor does not summon his wife alone, this is a palace rule, if she is notified directly, the Holy Majesty may not see her either.But the queen blatantly put Duan Wenhui in her house, and blatantly helped Duan Wenhui to become her opponent. If she didn't do something for herself, wouldn't she be too aggrieved?
Just as he was hesitating, a person came over from the other end, and said with a snort, "Isn't this the general's wife? Why are you here?"

Liuli looked up, and it was Concubine An who asked aloud, and the beautiful woman she held was actually Concubine Luo.

"The courtier's wife has seen the imperial concubine and concubine An." Liu Li stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"You don't need to be too polite." Concubine Luo helped her up with her own hands, looked her over and said with a smile: "I have heard Zhao'er say how smart and beautiful Yun Hao's wife is, and I have never had a chance to meet her. Look, it really is only when such a person stands beside our great general that it can be called a perfect match."

Liu Li blushed after being praised by Concubine Luo, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Qing is just joking, Your Majesty also believes it."

Concubine Luo and Concubine An looked at each other and smiled, then said: "Yes, what are you doing here under the sun?"

Liuli paused, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't speak.Concubine Luo sized her up, pondered for a while, then turned her head and said to Concubine An: "Sister, go in first. I think Madam may have something to say here, so I will come in later." Concubine An nodded and rushed Liuli nodded and went in.

Concubine Luo glanced at the side hall of Yongfu Palace, led Liuli up the steps to enter, then looked at her, and said softly: "I also heard from Zhao'er about the quarrel between your son and Yun Hao. Zhao'er, this child Your generals have come back to make up for the trouble you caused. Not only did you smash Prince Qing’s mansion to pieces, but he also took off the soles of Zhao’er’s shoes. Tell me the truth, are you begging His Majesty when you are here today? What are you punishing Yun Hao for?"

Liu Li really didn't know about this level, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister's wife is not here for this matter. But the general is also true, how can you be so rude to Prince Qing?"

Concubine Luo Gui smiled and said: "It's good that you two are fine, they have been fighting like this since childhood, they are better than brothers." She smiled and looked at her slightly, waiting for her to finish.

Liuli pondered for a while, and felt that it was a perfect opportunity to use Concubine Luo to meet the Holy Majesty.Concubine Luo and the Empress are natural enemies, and now that Qi Yunhao and Lu Zhao are in the same party, Concubine Luo will naturally become the only force that can contend with the Empress. In fact, regardless of whether they meet today or not, based on the current and future situation, With Qi Yunhao firmly supporting Lu Zhao, Concubine Luo Gui also had to help her, just now when she suddenly met her, she didn't think about it for a while, but now that she thinks about it, she feels relieved.

He also said: "The general and Prince Qing have been close friends since childhood, and being promoted and cared for by the empress and the prince is really a blessing that we have cultivated in several generations. The family does not speak two languages, and it is considered a honor to meet the empress here. It’s God who helped me. To tell you the truth, the empress told me just now that there is no one around our general to serve me, so I want to send someone to the mansion to help me with the housework and serve the general by the way. The servants don’t know the empress Do you dare to accept this kindness, so I come to ask the Holy Majesty."

"Send someone over to the house? Is it Duan Wenhui?" Concubine Luo Gui's face suddenly became serious.

Liuli said: "She didn't say who it was, she only said that she would send her to the house. But judging from all the signs, it should be Duan Wenhui."

Luo Guifei pondered and said: "The empress has secretly placed Duan Wenhui in Kunqing Palace as a female official for some time. If you send her to the palace as a female official, it will be able to deceive people and make it impossible for you to refuse. Duan Wenhui has reached this point. The means will definitely be exhaustive. You are in the open and she is in the dark, so it is hard to guard against."

"Your Majesty is wise." Liu Li nodded, "It is because I feel that it is difficult for me to fight against the Queen with my own strength, so I have the courage to come to see the Holy Majesty."

Concubine Luo looked at her and said, "If you didn't meet Ben Gong just now, what are you going to do?"

Liuli said: "I'm going to be honest with the Holy Master about the current situation, and then explain the consequences of the queen's actions to the Holy Master. I guess the Holy Master will at least interfere if he can't stop Duan Wenhui from passing the house?"

"No," Concubine Luo shook her head and said, "Your Majesty won't. The empress has laid the groundwork very well, and it seems that she can't catch any mistakes in doing so. If it is so easy for the Holy Majesty to grab his tail, she will not protect that stupid prince. It's today. You can't say that enough,—come with me."

Concubine Luo slapped her lips towards the main hall, and she was the first to step over the threshold.

Liuli then followed, and when they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Haitang and Huang Momo were blocked, leaving her and Luo Guifei alone to enter.

On the wide jade wall, a bright yellow figure lay halfway on the rocking chair, Anpin was playing the qin beside her, the sound of the qin was like silk winding around the beams in the hall.

Concubine Luo Guifei signaled Liuli to stand under the curtain, she walked to the side of the Holy Majesty, and tucked the slightly open skirt for him.The Holy Majesty did not open his eyes, but stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said slowly: "I am hot, but you have covered me with your clothes again." Concubine Luo sighed slightly, and said, "You always follow me." He's so willful like a child, and he doesn't know what his body is, if he catches a cold, won't he suffer again?"

The Holy Majesty hummed, and as expected, he let her straighten the clothes like a child.Concubine Luo smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, turned her head and walked to Concubine An and said something, and then Concubine An went down.Concubine Luo returned to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty had already opened his eyes, and said, "I heard Concubine An say that you met Hao'er's daughter-in-law just now, what happened to her?"

Concubine Luo Gui glanced at Liuli Station, then turned her head and said, "Hao'er's daughter-in-law is suffering, so don't mention it."

"What's the matter, you said it!" The Holy Majesty seemed a little anxious, and lost his temper.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you!" Concubine Luo Gui hurriedly comforted her, and then said helplessly: "When it comes to Hao'er, you are always so impatient, and it's a good thing that I can stand you. Bit, why don’t I hate you to death?”

The Holy Majesty smiled, with a hint of flattery: "I know you are good, so I have been pointing at you for decades? Why bother to mention her again?"

"How can we do it without mentioning her?" Concubine Luo Guifei flicked the silk, and sat on the ground casually, hugging her knees and said: "Sanlang, do you know that Duan Wenhui from Zhongyonghou's Mansion failed to hurt the child last time, Hao'er can't wait Killing her, but the queen secretly took Duan Wenhui by her side as a female official, and now she plans to send her back to Hao'er as a female official. Isn't this intentional to cause trouble for others?"

The Holy Majesty frowned, "What is she thinking?"
