Li Fei's hand that was originally holding the flower holder tilted her head slightly after hearing Lian Yan's words, raised her other slender hand, and covered the blooming peony with both hands.
Lian Yan lowered her eyelids and did not dare to express her anger. Just when she thought that Concubine Li was going to ravage the peonies in her hands until they were broken, Concubine Li suddenly said: "The emperor is very elegant. He was in the pavilion in the middle of the lake full of lotus flowers." Have a meal with her."
Although Lian Yan couldn't hear the joy or anger in her tone, she guessed in her heart that she was unhappy anyway. Lian Yan didn't know how to respond to her emotion, so she had to lower her head and ask dutifully: "What else do you want, my lady?" Have you passed?"
"No need, walk a little longer and go to the Octagonal Pavilion next to the rockery."
Lian Yan saw her skirt spinning and her steps easy, obviously she had already taken steps. He quickly turned around and told the palace maid to go to the Bajiao Pavilion to prepare. Behind him, Concubine Li's instructions came again: "Send melon and fruit snacks to the Lake Pavilion."
Lian Yan agreed and gave the instructions. Only then did he catch up with Concubine Li.
Li Fei was still strolling leisurely playing with the peony in her hand. Lian Yan was surprised to find that the peony was still the same one just now. She was one step behind and followed behind and said slowly: "Your Majesty, this servant originally prepared meals for one person. There must be no shortage of this at the Emperor's side. Why do we have to send it over?"
Concubine Li was putting the peony under her nose, smelling the fragrance carefully. After a while, she opened her eyes and said casually: "You must let the emperor know that I have been here."
Lian Yan frowned in confusion: "Then your Majesty, just go there directly. Your Majesty will definitely not let your Majesty stay outside the pavilion."
Concubine Li was walking along the path among the flowers, her smile was lazy and elegant.
The delicate facial features are revealed on the creamy jade face, and the water-colored eyes are clear but bright, with a touch of coldness, seeming to be able to see through everything: "Since the emperor has such a good mood today, why do I need to clean it up?" caught his interest."
Lian Yan remained silent, thinking in her mind that in the past, you often spoiled the new beauties in the palace, but today it is unusual.
Concubine Li seemed to have noticed the confusion in her heart, and looked back with a smile, and said: "This time is different from the past. Concubine Lian is not a new beauty. Although she has never been favored in these years, she has never been left out. Your Majesty, today I have chosen this auspicious time, and I obviously have something to say. If I pass by, it will not only be a disappointment, but if the emperor has brewed these emotions, he may not be able to say them out."
Lian Yan looked in the direction of Huxin Pavilion and felt sad for Li Fei: "Wouldn't it be better if I couldn't tell her."
Li Fei shook her head slightly: "Even if I don't say this today, I will say it in the future."
Lian Yan's eyes lit up: "So your Majesty sent someone to bring some snacks and fruits to tell the Emperor that you were here and then left thoughtfully?"
Concubine Li was silent and raised her eyes to look at the Octagonal Pavilion not far away. In this harem, it is certainly a favor to have the emperor by her side, but if she can have the emperor by her side and still remember you in her heart, that would be the best thing. The least easy.
At the moment, she seems to have taken a step back. If the emperor accepts this sentiment, what she will say in the future will do twice the result with half the effort.
However, I wonder what the Emperor will say to Concubine Lian after spending so much time today
"Lian Yan, let Zhu'er carefully explore the Yaohua Palace to see if she can find out the conversation between the emperor and Concubine Lian." Concubine Li ordered Lian Yan.
Lian Yan responded yes, and Li Fei thought about it and added: "Don't force it if you can't find it, don't expose your identity."
Lian Yan stepped forward with a smile: "I know this. The pavilion has been prepared. Your Majesty, you have walked this way. Please go in and rest and have some food."
The corners of Li Fei's mouth curled into a slight arc, and her cherry-like mouth was as thin as a wing, floating on a delicate and flawless smile. Her gorgeous face was full of charm, and she allowed Lian Yan to help her into the pavilion.
Lian Yan looked at You Lian's back after she sat down, feeling sad in her heart.
There are so many good-looking women in this world, but there are not many who are good-looking and smart, and know how to advance and retreat, and have general knowledge. Her master happens to be that rare one...
While Concubine Li was dining in the Octagonal Pavilion, Xiao Yanjun rushed all the way back to Prince Yu's Mansion. When he entered the mansion, he didn't find any sign of Si Nan, so he called Nie Hongyang and asked, "Where is the man from Sinan?"
"Si Nan said he went to apologize to the young Marquis... He hasn't come back yet." Nie Hongyang saluted. He knew that Xiao Yanjun had always been at odds with the young Marquis, so he stumbled a bit in his reply.
Sure enough, Xiao Yanjun frowned and smashed an inkstone on the case: "As my attendant, he went to apologize to the young marquis. Is he even slapping me in the face?"
Nie Hongyang heard a "clang" sound and stepped aside without any trace to avoid being splashed by the scattered ink.
"Your Majesty, Si Nan will definitely not do this for no reason. We will ask him carefully when he comes back. You can calm down first." After speaking, Nie Hongyang took a few steps forward and handed over the tea.
Xiao Yanjun thought for a while, took the tea, and dusted off the foam: "What happened this afternoon?"
"Your Majesty, this subordinate doesn't know." A vein on Nie Hongyang's forehead jumped. Seeing Xiao Yanjun's expression suddenly darkening, he quickly continued: "When my subordinate received Si Nan's signal and rushed over with his men, Just see you, see you..."
Xiao Yanjun placed the teacup on the table with a 'snap' sound, and scolded angrily: "What did you see? You said that you were hesitating to go down and get the tea?"
Nie Hongyang immediately explained clearly what he saw in the afternoon: "When my subordinates arrived, they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess and Cha Gan beating Si Nan. In fact, she was not beating Sinan, but Miss Shi who was being protected in Si Nan's arms. The princess was beating Before Miss Shi could reach it, Chagan's fists and kicks and the princess's whip fell on Si Nan."
Xiao Yanjun frowned: "Did the princess really hit you?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. If my subordinates hadn't rushed to pull him away, Si Nan would have been lying down for a while even if he wasn't seriously injured." Nie Hongyang lowered his head and curled his lips without leaving a trace.
It's no wonder that Xiao Yanjun asked this question. It's been almost half a month since Aodenge Rile came to the house. He usually talks to the prince in a gentle and gentle voice.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes in the afternoon, he wouldn't have believed it. She turned out to be so tough.
Xiao Yanjun put his hands behind his back, and the candlelight dimmed a layer of orange light on his crescent-white robe. A look of solemnity appeared on his shocked eyebrows. If he didn't believe it when Shi Fuqiu said it, Now he had to believe what Nie Hongyang said.
"I will go to Mengyouxuan to have a look. When Si Nan comes back, ask him to come to me as soon as possible."
