Liu Meiren just nodded and thanked: "Thank you, empress."
At least the empress didn't ask her to sacrifice herself, but could she really escape
Meng Li took a deep look at Liu Meiren and had nothing to explain for the time being, so he asked her to go ahead.
The deal with Liu Meiren was indeed necessary.
She is the only person who can influence the emperor in the future.
No one knew about their meeting. The emperor was now obsessed with Liu Meiren. Not long after Liu Meiren left Meng Li, he was called to accompany him.
A few days later, Qiaozhu combed Meng Li's hair early in the morning and said softly to Meng Li:
"Your Majesty, Liu promised to sleep with me last night."
Meng Li said lightly: "Then she still couldn't escape."
Then he smiled again: "Yes, all the women in the harem belong to the emperor, who can escape?"
Qiaozhu nodded and told Meng Li:
"Now it's time to choose an attendant."
"That would please the emperor very much." Meng Li said lightly.
Qiao Zhu didn't realize that this was the beginning of Liu Meiren's continuous promotion. She just thought it was normal. On weekdays, the emperor would upgrade people he liked when he came to see him.
Within the next month, Liu Meiren had been rapidly upgraded from a waiter to a talented person.
The speed was so fast that the concubines in the harem were stunned.
It also attracted the attention of the Queen Mother.
The emperor is asked not to favor only one person, but to spread the rain and dew equally, but for the emperor, these words go in one ear and out the other.
The Queen Mother felt that this could not continue. If things continued like this, the world would say that the emperor was ridiculous, obsessed with women, and had no rules. For the sake of the emperor's reputation, she asked Meng Li to see her.
Tell Meng Li that since you are a noble concubine, you also have the responsibility to persuade the emperor! Besides, you have to plan for yourself, and you can't just watch the emperor only focus on one person.
Meng Li said with a bitter look on his face:
"Mother, how can the emperor listen to my concubine now?"
The Queen Mother was a little anxious. The speed at which Liu Cairen was promoted was no longer in line with the rules, but the Emperor still insisted on going his own way. Eager to change the status quo, she couldn't help but said to Meng Li:
"You also have the right to be in charge of the harem. Since you can't persuade the emperor, you can also persuade the concubines."
Meng Li: "..."
What are these words
Does it mean that she should tell Liu Meiren, "Let go of the emperor and let me come?"
She remained silent, and the Queen Mother sighed slightly and said, "You should try your best!"
Meng Li bowed: "I understand."
The Queen Mother said angrily:
"I've known it all day long. You are still a noble concubine after all. You don't have any momentum or brains. You have to earn favor by yourself. You have done nothing all day long."
It's not that she didn't know that Concubine Dong Guifei had not thought about competing for favor during this period. If she wanted to, it would be good to send cakes on weekdays and show off in front of the emperor.
"You can't give up on yourself. Think about your son again. Have you seen him since he was born? Don't you even want to see him? You can only see him if you regain the emperor's favor." The Queen Mother glanced at Meng Li and felt that she was with him. She talked with difficulty.
How can one survive in the harem without fighting
Do you really think that you can sit back and relax as a royal concubine
Even becoming a queen is not guaranteed.
"That's what the Queen taught me." Meng Li didn't want to refute, so he just said this.
Seeing that Meng Li was calm as usual and not in a hurry to find a way to change the situation, the Queen Mother was particularly tired. She pursed her lips and was too lazy to speak or look. She waved her hand and said to Meng Li:
"You go down."
Meng Li: "Yes..."
After leaving the Queen Mother's Palace, he met Concubine Zheng on the way to the Queen Mother's Palace. Meng Li raised his eyebrows. The Queen Mother didn't like Concubine Zheng very much before. Did Concubine Zheng take the initiative to go this time or did the Queen Mother ask her to go
If the Queen Mother let her go, it would mean that the Queen Mother wanted Concubine Zheng to compete for her favor, so that the Emperor would not be so obsessed with Liu Meiren.
"I have met the noble concubine." This time, Concubine Zheng was not as arrogant as the last time she met Meng Li, and she always bowed.
Meng Li did not forget what happened last time, and asked with a smile:
"How's it going? Concubine Zheng's waist doesn't hurt today?"
Concubine Zheng's face stiffened, and then she forced out a forced smile and said, "My Majesty, please stop teasing me. It's Liu Cairen who's suffering from backache now."
Meng Li nodded and said, "I don't care whether other people's back hurts or not. I care about your body the most. As long as your back doesn't hurt, I'll be fine."
"Ha..." Concubine Zheng's smile became even more ugly.
The veil in my hand is about to break.
"If the empress is fine, I will go ahead. The Queen Mother is still waiting for me to go and say hello," she said.
Meng Li hummed: "Go ahead."
Concubine Zheng bowed and passed by Meng Li. Meng Li smiled. A few days ago, he was proud that he was going to be promoted to a noble concubine. Now the emperor is so focused on Liu Meiren that he can't even remember her promotion to a noble concubine. matter
But now that Liu Meiren was favored, Meng Li felt that it was time to let her do something.
Fortunately, this Liu Meiren has desires. Even leaving the palace is a desire. Once a person has a desire, he must pay something for it. For example, now, Liu Meiren has to help him achieve his goal, and then he can help Liu Meiren. achieve her goal.
The next day, Meng Li asked someone to notify Liu Meiren to come to his palace, and asked her to come in an honest manner.
Liu Meiren also came obediently. I haven't seen Liu Meiren for a few days. She is more beautiful than before.
It has an indescribable charm and becomes even more charming.
"How are you these days?" Meng Li asked calmly.
Liu Meiren smiled bitterly: "How could the empress not know about my condition?"
"There is concern." Meng Li did not deny it.
Liu Meiren lowered her head: "Presumably the empress called me here not just to reminisce about old times. If there is something you ask me to do, I will naturally do it."
"You are quite a cheerful person." Meng Li said.
Liu Meiren: "I was born in a humble background. If I don't behave more cheerfully, I'm afraid I will kill myself."
Meng Li smiled, with a hint of sadness on his brows, and sighed:
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just miss the prince. I haven't seen him since he was born."
She covered her heart again and said: "Whenever I think about this, my heart aches. The emperor is ruthless and I have no control over it."
"It hurts..." Liu Meiren murmured.
"Mother, you are suffering too." She sympathized with Meng Li, a woman who had given birth to a child without ever seeing her, what kind of torture it was.
Therefore, Liu Meiren felt more and more that the emperor was ruthless. After all, she was his woman and she had no fault. How could he be willing to treat her like this
If you treat the imperial concubine like this today, you will definitely be worse off than the imperial concubine once your love for him is gone. The imperial concubine has a good family background and can stand firm in the palace without favor, and everything she does is based on the emperor's favor. Once he takes back this favor, the consequences...
The deep palace is terrifying, and Liu Meiren has a deep fear at this time, and a heart eager to escape from the palace.
