What Bian Cheng said made her feel uncomfortable was just that he didn't favor her.
It's really hard for people who care about him and love him not to be favored by him, but Meng Li doesn't need this.
The right to control the harem is still in her hands. Who said she is the only noble concubine
But Bian Cheng was really interesting. The next day, news came from the Queen Mother that he intended to make Concubine Zheng a noble concubine.
However, the Queen Mother stopped the emperor, saying that Concubine Zheng was not qualified enough. If Concubine Zheng had to be canonized as a noble concubine, the current Concubine Dong should be canonized as a queen.
According to the rules, this is indeed the case, but the emperor is unwilling to return the queen
He now wishes he could take her away from her position as a noble concubine.
She refused the Queen Mother's request and insisted on canonizing Concubine Zheng as a noble concubine. The Queen Mother kept saying that it was against the rules, and the two sides were in a stalemate over this matter.
Meng Li knew that Bian Cheng wanted to replace her current position by raising another noble concubine.
Will that work
She got up and stretched her muscles. She had spent some quiet days these days. She lay in bed all day to recuperate and didn't go out much. It was time to go out and do some exercise.
After releasing her mental power to find Liu Meiren's location, she asked Qiaozhu to accompany her there.
When they arrived at the place, Liu Meiren immediately saw Meng Li. She and her maid retreated to the roadside and saluted Meng Li.
Generally speaking, a person with a lower status does not need to speak when meeting a noble concubine. He only needs to salute beside her until she passes by.
She lowered her head, and Meng Li couldn't see clearly her extremely beautiful face. He stopped and said to her:
"Raise your head and let me see."
When Liu Meiren heard this, she raised her head generously and looked at Meng Li at eye level. Meng Li looked at her carefully and said with emotion:
"There is such a beauty in the palace, why don't I know?"
"Back to your Majesty, I have just entered the palace not long ago." Liu Meiren responded to her in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Meng Li nodded and said, "Well, I'm bored today. I want to find someone to chat with. Are you willing?"
"I am short-sighted, born in a humble way, and have poor conversation skills. I am afraid that it will disturb the imperial concubine's interest. Please ask the imperial concubine to find someone else." The imperial concubine wanted to talk to her, but Liu Meiren did not show any flattery. Her expression was still very calm, and there was no sadness or joy in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Looking at your beautiful face will make me feel better."
"Let's go, don't refuse anymore." After Meng Li finished speaking, he took the first step and walked in front. When he met a pavilion, Meng Li walked in and sat down. Liu Meiren followed and stood there. beside.
"Sit down." Meng Li pointed to his side.
"I dare not sit with the imperial concubine." She stood still.
Meng Li smiled: "It doesn't matter, you can sit down."
"This is also allowed by this palace."
"Thank you, empress." She bowed to Meng Li and sat down.
Meng Li looked at the scenery outside the pavilion. In the plot, Liu Meiren always had a cold and indifferent temperament, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with her. She never bullied others after being favored, and she could not be regarded as having any grudge against her client.
What the emperor does to the client is the emperor himself, but he can make use of this Liu Meiren.
As long as Liu Meiren appears in the emperor's sight, the emperor will no longer think about making Concubine Zheng a noble concubine. Then all he will think about is Liu Meiren.
But it will take some time for him to raise this Liu Meiren.
"Are you agreeing now?" After a brief silence, Meng Li asked.
Liu Meiren nodded. Her clothes and hair accessories were all in accordance with the agreed rules, and others could see it at a glance.
Meng Li waved to the palace maids beside him, and they retreated. Meng Li then stared at Liu Meiren's face and said:
"Now that you've entered this palace wall, have you ever thought about taking a chance on yourself?"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to think about it. I just want to spend the rest of my life peacefully in the palace." She immediately lowered her head and said.
She thought Meng Li was afraid of her beauty and was testing her.
Meng Li said softly: "Don't panic, I am sincere. If you don't fight, wouldn't this beautiful face be wasted?"
"This is a gift from my parents. It was definitely not what I wanted. Please forgive me." Liu Meiren stood up and bowed to Meng Li again.
Meng Li shook his head helplessly and said:
"Where did you want to go?"
"I just think that the emperor must like you."
"No... Empress..." Liu Meiren frowned, her whole body filled with rejection.
This surprised Meng Li. After all, he had already entered the palace, and most women wanted to get holy grace. Sometimes without holy grace, they didn't even know how they died.
But Liu Meiren's repulsion was obviously not right.
"Please let me go, I don't want to..." She knelt down and in the middle of her words, it was hard to say.
Meng Li added: "Are you unwilling to serve the Emperor?"
"Yes." Liu Meiren plucked up the courage to say.
Meng Li said softly, "But you have already entered the palace, and you will never be able to get out in this life."
"Yes, there is no hope." Liu Meiren murmured.
Meng Li sighed. Since Liu Meiren was so repulsive at the moment, she would put the plan aside for now.
Anyway, the emperor will encounter her sooner or later, and he will take possession of her sooner or later. She should come to him by then.
"Since I don't want to, I won't force it. However, there is no need to tell outsiders what happened today. After all, if others don't have your beautiful face, I won't like you either." Meng Li said.
"Yes, thank you, Madam." Liu Meiren said gratefully.
As long as the imperial concubine does not force her to give her to the emperor, she also knows that the imperial concubine means to let her compete for favor. It is normal for empresses like these to find others when they are unable to do what they want.
But she didn't want to become the concubine's pawn.
Meng Li left and took a walk around the palace. He also met many concubines. No one was particularly favored now. Naturally, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the noble concubine. Concubine Zheng, on the other hand, felt that she wanted to become a noble concubine and be equal to Meng Li. Yes, when I met Meng Li, his attitude was a bit arrogant.
Although she doesn't have the title of imperial concubine yet, the emperor has told her that she will be in charge of the affairs of the harem in the future. Meng Li looked at her with a bit of disdain.
It's really ridiculous that a prince can live in such a miserable state.
He refused to get off the sedan, so he sat on the sedan and greeted Meng Li.
It seemed like a chance encounter, but Meng Li felt that the other party deliberately took a detour to meet her. She asked, "Concubine Zheng, why did you break the rules?"
Concubine Zheng frowned and pretended to be distressed:
"My Lady, you don't know something. Your Majesty was in my palace last night. When I woke up this morning, my waist seemed to be broken. Now it is really inconvenient to get off the sedan chair to salute you."
"And the emperor also said that he is considerate of my pain in the back, so that I don't have to bow when I see people."
