Chapter Forty-Eight: The Belt
"Then thank you Xi'er." Yue Li smiled and took the belt and carefully placed it on the table.
The smile on Yue Li's face was impeccable, so that Concubine Xi couldn't find the slightest flaw. She held the fragrant tea handed over by Pan Xiang and blew the hot air on it.
The words that came out of Concubine Xi's mouth seemed to Yue Li to be like a knife, and Yue Li's brain hurt. "Then since His Royal Highness seems to be fine, the concubine is relieved. The concubine took her leave first. ”
Yue Li wished that she would leave quickly, this woman came to be a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, but since she gave her belt, she also had to return the gift.
"Jinshi, go and get a new hookah for my mother." Yue Li couldn't think of anything to give.
Hookah? When Concubine Xi heard this, her pupils constricted. Shisha yarn is extremely precious, and it takes the best weaver five years to weave a horse, and it is said that it is as light and soft as smoke in the hand, and a piece of cloth is no heavier than a small tea bowl. She asked the old emperor before, but the emperor denied that he didn't have hookah, and it turned out that he had given it all to his beloved daughter, this old immortal.
Concubine Xi secretly scolded the emperor in her heart, but her face was still smiling like a flower, with a hint of envy.
"Yes, this is the hookah yarn that my father gave me a few days ago, and the sulphur moon is clumsy, so I can't stain the eyes of the concubine, so I will show my heart with this hookah!" Yue Li said it easily, in fact, her flesh hurts badly, this hookah yarn father gave her a total of two horses, and she has to give it to Xi Guifei again, it is really a tyrannical thing.
Concubine Xi gritted her teeth, endured the outpouring of jealousy, and wore the mask of hypocrisy on her face: "Then thank you princess, I have wanted this hookah for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity, and this can be regarded as the fulfillment of my dream." ”
The two of them blew each other for a long time on the surface, and they both politely wanted to hold each other up to the sky, but they scolded each other dozens of times in their hearts. In the end, the two of them also felt that it was boring to be so vain, so Concubine Xi took Xi'er to say goodbye.
"Your Highness, I see that you are doing well here, so I will take my leave first. I have time to see Your Majesty, he has been so busy lately that he is dizzy, and he will be happy to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Yue Li agreed: "Niangniang has a heart." After saying goodbye twice, the woman was finally willing to leave.
After Concubine Xi's mother and son left, Yue Li let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the belt.
It is made of fine cyan material, embroidered with complex patterns with white thread, and decorated with a few East Pearls that look full and round, which looks very elegant.
Yue Li remembered the news that she had sent out to find winter before, and recently Concubine Xi had found a lot of herbs, Yue Li put her belt in front of her nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of herbs.
Yue Li threw the belt aside and looked at Pan Xiang: "Pan Xiang go find a trusted imperial doctor, let me find out what medicinal herbs this belt has been soaked in?" ”
It's no wonder that Yue Li is a frightened bird, it's very strange that this belt has been soaked in medicinal herbs, if it's harmless, just put it there, if it's harmful, then wouldn't it have escaped, and I don't have the strength to fight back now, so I can only endure it.
Regardless of whether Concubine Xi said it or not, Yue Li still had to go to see the emperor, otherwise the relationship between father and daughter would be weakened. Yue Li asked Panxiang to collect her belt, and took Wen Xue and Panxiang's freshly made chicken fir mushrooms, and went to the imperial study.
"Meet my father. Yue Li and Wen Xue saluted, took the chicken fir mushroom out of the food box, and prepared to give it to the emperor to taste.
The emperor was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and when he saw his daughter coming, he was naturally very happy. "You're here?" Smelling the aroma, the Emperor felt his stomach start to get hungry again.
"Father, you haven't come to see your daughter for a long time, and your daughter knows that you are busy, so she came to see you, and look at this is Pan Xiang's newly researched food, I'll bring it over to you to taste."
The emperor smelled the fragrance in the air and was very moved. Her daughter knows filial piety, and she suddenly opens up these days.
"After all, my daughter will be out of the palace after the year, if I don't see you now, then there will be fewer opportunities to see you in the future."
The emperor's mood fell, and his face was not very good-looking: "Father doesn't want you to leave the palace, but the hundred officials have already begun to participate in you because of this matter, if you don't let you out of the palace again, you will become the target of everyone." ”
He remembered that the woman he loved the most had lost his most precious life in the political struggle, leaving only the daughter of Sulphur Moon to himself, and he would definitely not repeat the same mistake this time!
Yue Li looked at the tears in her father's eyes, yes, if she doesn't leave the mansion again, sooner or later the emperor will find out that she is not her daughter.
The emperor swallowed the food brought to him by his daughter, which was obviously delicious, but his mouth was full of bitterness.
It had been three days since Ye Qin woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his stepmother's anxious face in front of him: "Ye Qin, you finally woke up, and your father was about to die of worry after sleeping for three whole days." “
Ye Qin sat up with difficulty, and the maid fed him a glass of water.
"Why don't you take care of yourself? Your father is such a son as you, what if something happens to your father? Mrs. Ye blamed Ye Qin for not cherishing herself at all, and as she spoke, she was about to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Ye Qin had just woken up, his brain was still chaotic, and he had a headache to death when Mrs. Ye made such a noise. "You go out first, I just woke up and my mind is still a little confused, and I can't listen to what you say."
Mrs. Ye was most afraid of this stepson, and as soon as Ye Qin said this, she had no choice but to go out with tears in her eyes.
Now that Ye Qin has woken up, now is a good opportunity for Bai Yiyan. Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye sent a confidant to find Bai Yiyan.
The first thing Ye Qin thought of when he woke up was Yue Li, but because he had been lying down for a long time, his legs were weak now, and he had to rest for at least half a day before he could get out of bed.
"Go, take my token and bring me a message to Jing'an Palace."
Ye Qin instructed his scholar: "Tell Your Highness, I'm awake." ”
The scholar had stayed by Ye Qin's side for so long, and he didn't know about the things between Princess Suoyue and his own adult, so he nodded clearly, covered his mouth and went out with a smile.
Ye Qin collapsed on the bed and rubbed his head, which was still a little dull and painful, and he didn't know how Yue Li was doing during the days when he didn't wake up.
When Ye Qin woke up, Mrs. Ye told Bai Yiyan for the first time, Bai Yiyan had never died to Ye Qin, even if half of his life was lost by Yue Li, he still didn't give up.
After Bai Yiyan cleaned up, she hurriedly came over with ready-made stewed chicken soup.
"Brother Qin, you can be regarded as awake." Bai Yiyan sat on the edge of the bed, frowning and worried, "Do you know that I'm worried about you, you must take care of your body in the future!" ”
How could Ye Qin not know that it was his stepmother who reported the news, he frowned, and his tone was very unfriendly: "Miss Bai, am I familiar with you?" ”
Bai Yiyan didn't seem to hear it, and took out a bowl of chicken soup from the food box she had brought over, "Look, this is the chicken soup I stewed with my own hands, and there are a lot of tonic herbs in it." Brother Qin, you just woke up, and your body must be weak. ”
