"What is she doing here?"

The emperor couldn't help but have some doubts about the arrival of Concubine Li.

Mu Yunzhao was also puzzled by her arrival, but as soon as Mu Yunzhao thought of her helping Fang Qingqing, he guessed that she might have come to the emperor at this time for this matter.

Before Mu Yunzhao could walk out of the imperial study, Concubine Li came in.

Concubine Li didn't come empty-handed, she was carrying a food box in her hand, and the whole person was carefully dressed.

When she came in with a charming smile on her face, she saw Mu Yunzhao as soon as she raised her eyes, and the smile on her face immediately froze.

"Concubine Li!"

Mu Yunzhao greeted her with a cold expression.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Concubine Li smiled awkwardly at the corners of her mouth.

Mu Yunzhao deliberately asked, "Niangniang, are you here to bring food to your father?" ”

Concubine Li hurriedly said: "Yes, this palace has made some kumquat crystal cakes for His Majesty, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, let's try it together." ”

Mu Yunzhao said politely: "If the retainers still have something to do, they will retire first, so I won't bother you to talk to your father." ”

After Mu Yunzhao finished speaking, he left.

Concubine Li's hand carrying the food box was a little cold, but as soon as Mu Yunzhao left, she immediately showed a flattering smile to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you like to eat crystal cakes made by your concubines? The concubine specially chose the best kumquat and made this crystal cake for you, you can taste it. ”

Concubine Li put the food box in front of the emperor, opened the lid, and a fragrance of kumquat suddenly came to her nose.

The emperor does love to eat the crystal cakes she makes, but before eating these crystal cakes, the emperor is still more interested in her intentions.

"Do you have something to tell me?" The emperor didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he asked directly.

Concubine Li knew that the emperor could see through herself at a glance, so she replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is really discerning, and you know that the concubine has something to tell you." In fact, what the concubine wants to tell you is both a bad thing and a good thing. ”

Concubine Li deliberately observed the expressions of Mu Yunzhao and the emperor just now, and saw that their expressions were very calm, so she probably didn't talk about Fang Qingqing.

Otherwise, with Mu Yunzhao's character, he would not accept Fang Qingqing easily, if the emperor forced him, he would definitely not obey, and the father and son would definitely have a dispute.

After Concubine Li had such a judgment in her heart, she decided to say what she was going to say.

The emperor saw her expression flickering, and he wanted to sell Guanzi, so he couldn't help but be a little impatient.

"What are you going to say? What's good or bad? If you have something to say, just say it! ”

Concubine Li made her words clear, "The concubine is here to congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty for adding another imperial grandson!" ”

"I've added another grandson?" The emperor naturally knew who she was talking about, but he asked knowingly, "Is it Huan'er's princess or which concubine gave birth again?" ”

Concubine Li said a little coquettishly: "It's not Huan'er, Your Majesty, you guessed wrong this time." ”

"That's the prince who has added another son?" The emperor is still pretending to be stupid.

Concubine Li lowered her voice and replied, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince!" He had a child with Fang Qingqing, the daughter of Mrs. Fang. ”

"Oh, so you're talking about the crown prince."

The emperor's reaction was very indifferent, which was really unexpected by Concubine Li.

The corners of Concubine Li's eyes twitched a little, and she blinked her eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, you don't seem surprised at all?" Before, the prince was very disgusted with Fang Qingqing, and he was afraid that he would not admit her and the child. The concubine really couldn't bear to let the emperor and grandson be left behind, so she came to be this long-tongued woman, and asked His Majesty to forgive the concubine. ”

Concubine Li's eyes turned a little red as she spoke.

Her pitiful appearance made the emperor very disgusted, and the emperor frowned and said, "It's good that you know that you are a long-tongued woman." ”

Concubine Li: "......"

Why did the emperor react like this, why didn't he come as expected?

Concubine Li smiled awkwardly, and said, "I think the prince is also taking into account the emotions of the crown princess, so he won't recognize Qingqing and the child in her belly." But even if the prince doesn't like Fang Qingqing anymore, he should cherish innocent children, especially boys. ”

"How do you know that's so clear? Do you have any magical powers to tell if someone is pregnant with a man or a woman? ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Li with a cold face, and his heart trembled when he saw Concubine Li.

Concubine Li explained hesitantly: "No, where is the concubine, what kind of magical powers?" The concubine listened to Fang Qingqing's own words. By the way, Sister Yun also knows about this, has she ever come to find Your Majesty? Thinking about it, she was also afraid that the prince would not accept Fang Qingqing's mother and son, so she didn't tell you about it, right? ”

Concubine Li came to the emperor this time, not only to make Mu Yunzhao's image in the eyes of the emperor damaged, but also to pull Concubine Yun into the water.

After she finished speaking, the emperor said something that made her particularly heartbroken.

"Just now, the prince came to discuss with me, saying that he wanted to take a side concubine or a beauty, and his candidate was Fang Qingqing. Before I could ask him why he suddenly had a relationship with Fang Qingqing, you came. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Concubine Li's eyes with a little provocation.

"Y-What did you say? The prince came to you to ask Fang Qingqing to be a side concubine or, or a beauty? ”

Concubine Li almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

How could Mu Yunzhao accept Fang Qingqing so easily? This doesn't fit the character's character!

The emperor didn't care what Concubine Li thought, and continued: "I have already approved his request, let him go back first and think about what title to give Fang Qingqing." It's a good thing that Fang Qingqing is happy, and I will reward Fang Qingqing later. ”

Concubine Li was extremely embarrassed, and forced out a smile, "Hehe, the concubine is going to congratulate Your Majesty and the crown prince." ”

The emperor also smiled, "Yes, it is indeed a good thing that the crown prince can have prosperous heirs." I try your pastries and see if your craft has deteriorated. ”

The emperor picked up a piece of crystal cake with high interest, and after taking a bite, he said with appreciation: "It's not bad, your craftsmanship has not regressed." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"

The emperor's praise swept away the embarrassment on Concubine Li's face, and she secretly rejoiced.

After Mu Yunzhao left the imperial study, he immediately returned to the East Palace, and he wanted to discuss Fang Qingqing's status with Lu Qiu Guangrui.

After Lu Qiu Guangrui learned of the emperor's suggestion, he expressed his opinion very reasonably.

"What my father said is very true, that Fang Qingqing is the daughter of His Royal Highness's Taifu, her background is not low, and her appearance is not bad. If you give her the title of a beauty, it will not only embarrass her, but also slap the face of the Taifu, and other ministers will also say that you do not respect the teacher and will misunderstand you. ”

The more Lu Qiu Guangrui was so reasonable, the more Mu Yunzhao felt that he was at a loss to her.

Mu Yunzhao said distressedly: "But if you let that slut be a side concubine, wouldn't it be too wronged for you?" I don't want her to be so different from you! If it's me, it's good to make her a concubine! ”

How could Lu Qiu Guangrui really be willing in his heart, but the holy will cannot be violated, since the emperor proposed that Fang Qingqing should be accepted as a side concubine, then he should do it according to the emperor's wishes, so that the emperor can feel that the prince knows the general situation.

Lu Qiu Guangrui said softly: "Your Highness, as long as you have a concubine body in your heart, the concubine body will be content." Anyway, Fang Qingqing became a side concubine, but if she had a false name, the concubine was not worried that she would make waves in the East Palace. ”

Mu Yunzhao took her hand pityingly and assured her: "Guangrui, don't worry, the side concubine is a false name to that slut!" When she comes to the East Palace, I will never go to see her! And I will also order to go down, never let her get close to you, just let her become a wandering spirit in the East Palace! ”

Lu Qiu Guangrui was moved to Mu Yunzhao's arms, and said something that made him even more pity.

"Your Highness, the concubine is not a jealous woman. In the future, as long as there are women that His Highness really likes, His Highness can take them by his side. As long as His Royal Highness is happy, the concubine is also happy. ”

"Guangrui ......"

Mu Yunzhao lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, and the hatred of Fang Qingqing, King Jie and the others deepened a lot.

Mu Yunzhao wanted to know what Concubine Li said to the emperor, thinking that she was probably going for Fang Qingqing's business.

Mu Yunzhao was pondering whether it was not appropriate to go directly to the emperor to ask Concubine Li what she said, and the eunuchs in Concubine Yungui's palace came to invite him.

"It just so happens that I have something to find my mother." Before leaving, Mu Yunzhao also instructed Lu Qiu Guangrui to let her raise the fetus with peace of mind, and leave the rest to him.

Concubine Yun was a little anxious, she was worried that Concubine Li would not keep it a secret, if Fang Qingqing was pregnant with the emperor's heir, the emperor would suffer if he blamed the prince for his debauchery and lack of responsibility.

As soon as she saw Mu Yunzhao coming, Concubine Yun Guifei hurriedly pulled him and said, "It was the concubine who didn't speak well before, which made you angry. The concubine has apologized to you! ”

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Mu Yunzhao had a headache when he saw his mother, who was still beautiful but not very bright.

Yun Guifei said anxiously: "If you want to blame the mother concubine, you can blame it, and the mother concubine is willing." But you must solve Fang Qingqing's matter as soon as possible. Concubine Li, King Huan, and King Jie all know about this matter, in case they go to report to your father first......"

"Concubine Li has already gone to find her father."

Mu Yunzhao's words frightened Yun Guifei.

"What? She's already gone to find your father? This, this palace has to tear her mouth apart! ”

Yun Guifei was annoyed, so she wanted to go to Concubine Li to settle accounts.

However, Mu Yunzhao said very calmly: "Mother, don't be impatient, your son has already gone to find her father one step ahead of her." ”

But Concubine Yun was even more frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Huh? Did you go to your father? Did you have any arguments with your father over this? ”

Mu Yunzhao smiled lightly at first, and then told everything he said to the emperor.

Concubine Yun immediately grabbed Mu Yunzhao's hand excitedly.

"Zhao'er! You're so smart! You've done it right! You can dislike Fang Qingqing, but that child is yours, as long as you keep the child with Ziwei by your side, why can't you achieve a great cause? ”

At this time, a palace maid walked in and reported: "Qi Yu Niang, Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang asks to see." ”
