33. Jealousy

"Li'er, there is no one else here, no need to be polite."

"Concubine, thank you to the emperor." Xia Li slowly walked to Feng Moyu's side and said softly, "The emperor's face is not good these days, but don't hurt the dragon body because of the war in the previous dynasty." ”

"I know it in my heart, but I'm afraid that Li'er will not be as comfortable as she is when she returns to the palace." Feng Moyu pulled Xia Li to sit beside her, stroked her flat lower abdomen with her big hand, and said with a smile.

Xia Li smiled softly and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the concubines, there are many powerful subordinates around the concubines, and they are the same everywhere." ”

"Today, I am a little displeased with Yun Zhaoyi, Li'er?" Feng Moyu asked.

Xia Li shook his head gently, looked at Feng Moyu's eyes, and said, "The emperor cares about the people, cares about the previous dynasty, and is a benevolent monarch. ”

Feng Moyu looked at Xia Li approvingly, took her little hand, patted it, and sighed for a while, saying, "I have this confidant, this life is enough!"

Xia Li's little face flashed crimson, and her eyes drooped shyly, "The emperor doesn't want to laugh at his concubines." ”

"Li'er, Li'er, only you are the most heartfelt!" Feng Moyu was moved again.

Just after noon the next day, Feng Moyu ordered to drive back to the palace, the carriage Xia Li was sitting in was specially modified, covered with layers of soft cushions, windows in all directions, not only will it not be bumpy or stuffy, but there are gusts of cold wind blowing, Feng Moyu even instructed the Internal Affairs Office to send some ice cubes to Xia Li every half an hour to dispel heat, so the treatment makes people blush.

It was supposed to be a three-day journey, but he returned to the palace in two days, Xia Li returned to his Flowing Water Palace, I don't know why, I had an ominous premonition in my heart, I always felt that my palace was a little different from normal days, Xia Li, who returned to the palace, really saw Wei Wuxian in his own courtyard, the two looked at each other, and Wei Wuxian had a relieved expression on his face, which made Xia Li feel comforted.

At night, the palace lights were lit in the palace, and the palace doors were closed early, Feng Moyu passed the word, saying that he would summon a few important ministers overnight tonight, and he would not come to Xia Li's Flowing Water Palace, so Xia Li also closed the palace door early, leaned against the window, and waited for the moment when the guards changed shifts, and said a few words to Wei Wuxian.

When the time came, the palace guards were changing shifts, Xia Li hurriedly leaned against the window, staring at the movement in the courtyard, and did not see Wei Wuxian's shadow for a long time, Xia Li began to be a little worried, until the guards who changed shifts were in place, and she didn't see Wei Wuxian come to her window, Xia Li began to wonder in her heart.

After a while, Luo'er pushed the door in, saw Xia Li in front of the window, and whispered, "Niangniang, rest early, so as not to get tired." ”

While speaking, Luo'er walked up to Xia Li, stuffed her with a note, and made a silent gesture, Xia Li nodded hurriedly, walked to the inner hall, took advantage of the light, and turned on the note, only to see that he was strong and powerful above, and he seemed to be a little anxious in writing, and he was a little flying.

The note read: There is eyeliner, beware.

Just these five short words made Xia Li's heart suddenly nervous, and she hurriedly put the note under the candle and burned it, and asked Luo'er to mix the ashes into the soil, so that she could feel at ease, no wonder she always felt that there was something strange about returning to the palace this time, it turned out that several people in her palace who did not go to the summer palace together were replaced, and there were a few new faces.

Sent Luo'er to ask the Internal Affairs Office to find out that several subordinates in her palace have been in the palace for ten years, and they have been out of the palace last month, Xia Li is not easy to say, she can only accept a few subordinates newly arranged by the Internal Affairs Office, fortunately, there are Luo'er and Zao'er by her side, Xiao Mingzi is also very responsible, otherwise, she really doesn't know what to do.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Li had nothing to do, walked to the courtyard for a walk, and saw Wei Wuxian guarding the palace gate in full suit, Xia Lixiu raised her eyebrows slightly, turned around and returned to the inner hall, and ordered Luo'er to make a bowl of lotus seed soup, before going out of the inner hall, standing in the courtyard, seeing what Wei Wuxian and another guard were saying, he said loudly, "Commander Wei, I am tired that Commander Wei will send this bowl of lotus seed soup to the emperor's Xingyun Palace." ”

"Wechen will go." Wei Wuxian took the tray in Xia Li's hand, turned around and walked away quickly, and when he walked into the imperial garden, Wei Wuxian flashed into the rockery, and sure enough, there was a note under the porcelain bowl.

Wei Wuxian hurriedly opened it, and he was neat and tidy on the note, with only a short sentence: Act when you have the opportunity, don't worry.

A burst of warmth crossed his heart, Wei Wuxian tore up the note, secretly threw it into the koi pond, and then walked quickly towards Feng Moyu's palace, and met a few little eunuchs on the way, listening to the eight-hundred-mile urgent twist, presumably there has been a new development in the border war, and now, Xia Li wants to investigate the death of Lan Guifei, I am afraid that it will be put aside for the time being.

In the evening, Xia Li sat quietly under the tree, her quiet face showed a trace of exhaustion, it has been five days since she returned to the palace, Feng Moyu has only been here once, I heard that the war in the previous dynasty was tense, and the harem was also panicked, since the emperor punished Yun Zhaoyi last time, he did not go to Yun Zhaoyi's dormitory because of this, but slept there for two nights, Xia Li also knew Feng Moyu's intentions, for the border war, she could only pamper Yun Zhaoyi, but the queen recently felt irritable because Yun Zhaoyi became more and more arrogant.

"Niangniang, I'm afraid it's going to rain in a while, go back to the inner hall." Luo'er helped Xia Li and asked.

Xia Li shook her head and said softly, "It's time to say hello to the queen mother." ”

"After entering the palace, Niangniang never forgot to settle the province in the morning and dusk." Luo'er said with a smile, instructed Zao'er to bring an umbrella, and helped Xia Li to walk towards the queen's bedroom.

Lao Yuan heard the laughter in the inner hall of the queen's bedroom, Xia Li also had a smile on her face, and when she walked into the hall, she saw Concubine Mei and Concubine Duan sitting together and didn't know what to say, coaxing the queen to smile happily, even the rarely seen Concubine De was here with the queen today, Xia Li saluted one by one and sat down.

"It's still Sister Shufei who knows etiquette, and even with a body, she doesn't have this daily morning and dusk." Concubine De looked at Xia Li and said with a smile.

Xia Li hurriedly returned, "How dare the concubine be arrogant and arrogant." ”

"Concubine Shu is a good one, not like that." The queen snorted coldly, and everyone was until she said Yun Zhaoyi.

"Don't be angry with that, don't be angry, beware of being angry, it's not worth it." Concubine Mei comforted from the side.

"I heard that the emperor not only didn't punish her for thinking, but also stayed in her Falling Flower Palace for the past few days?" Concubine De asked with a displeased face.

Concubine Duan snorted softly and coldly, and said, "Hmph, the one who doesn't know what to do is now even saving the queen's mother." ”

"I'm afraid that I relied on my father and brother's wars at the border to win again and again." Liang Guiren interjected.

Concubine Wan knew that her father and brother were guarding the city at the border pass, and she had no sadness in the past few days, but every time Yun Zhaoyi saw her, she had to sneer and sneer, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and she naturally had to fall into the well at this time.

"I heard from the little eunuch of Luohua Palace that Yun Zhaoyi has been very arrogant these days, and she took the initiative to ask the emperor for dumplings cooked in the imperial dining room, but the emperor didn't want her." Concubine Wan said the news of her inquiry coldly.

Seeing the surprise on everyone's faces, Xia Li was also surprised in her heart, Yun Zhaoyi's holy grace was strong this time, if she gave the raw dumplings that symbolized that she could inherit the royal ancestry, I am afraid that she would be on the rise overnight.

"Is that true?" The queen asked with a frown, her hands clenched into fists.
