Chapter 25: The Partridge Flies (5)

The more Cheng Meiren listened, the more frightened she became, although she regarded Concubine Li as a friend, she also understood that it was better to know less in the palace, she didn't want to listen to these secrets, so she hurriedly interrupted Concubine Li:

"Sister, don't say that, after all, King Rui was born by you, how can you only recognize your adoptive mother and not your biological mother? He grew up day by day, and his master by his side taught him filial piety as a son of man. ”

Concubine Li wiped her tears, knowing that she didn't want to hear it, so she smiled and said:

"My sister is now a popular person in this palace, and she is deeply favored by the officials. My sister has no other ideas, she just wants her sister to be free, and she can say in front of the official family, let me meet King Rui......"

Hearing her words, Cheng Meiren was relieved. She is not a fool, she was repeatedly told by her family before entering the palace, the head of the palace is unpredictable, there is no good for no reason, there is no evil for no reason, if you say that she was close to Concubine Li before, in the end there is a layer of worry, now that she knows what she wants, she feels that the stone has fallen to the ground, and her heart is steady.

She smiled and said:

"Sister, don't worry, when I see the official family, I will definitely mention it to him."

Concubine Li immediately smiled, took her hand and happily didn't know what to say, and called out to the palace maid who followed them, took a small burden in her hand, and said:

"It's a pair of shoes with soft soles. Actually, I saw my sister's shoes yesterday, and they are good-looking, but the bottom is too hard and uncomfortable to wear, so they are not as good as these soft-soled ones," he said, looking down at her feet, and then said:

"This was rushed overnight last night, and I don't know if it's suitable or not, you try, if it's not suitable, I'll take it back and change it."

Cheng Meiren was flattered for a while, she didn't expect Concubine Li to stay up late to make shoes for her, took the shoes and looked, the stitches were fine and dense, although there was no exquisite embroidery on the upper, but it was soft, especially the soles, which were thick and soft to the touch, and immediately found a pavilion to sit down, took off the shoes on her feet and tried them on, but I didn't expect the size to be just right!

Concubine Li smiled and said:

"It seems that my eye is okay, but it was the one from yesterday, I didn't expect it to be so suitable."

Cheng Meiren put it on and walked a few steps, and sure enough, she felt very comfortable on her feet, as if she was stepping on cotton. She thanked Concubine Li repeatedly, and Concubine Li smiled and waved her hand.

The two chatted about flowers and plants again, and Concubine Li felt that it was not too early, so she said goodbye to Cheng Meiren.

Cheng Meiren's eyes were dark, and she accompanied Cheng Meiren back to Chongqing Palace, stopping Cheng Meiren from letting her eat the lotus seed soup. Cheng Meiren didn't dare to insist, she also knew how many things came out of eating, if you don't eat, don't eat, she doesn't lack such a bowl of lotus seed soup.

The Chongqing Palace is piled up with the rewards of yesterday's queen, but there are not many things, but they are exquisite. In addition to the regular silk satin, there are also some fine gold and silver, and among these things, the most conspicuous are a few pots of flowers.

It may be that the queen is good at raising flowers, and each pot sent is luxuriant, either with flower bones, or flowers are blooming, only a pot of fairy feather pothos is different, only green leaves, no flowers.

Cheng Meiren's grandmother said:

"It's not good to put too many flowers and plants in the house, so let's move them all outside."

Cheng Meiren thought about it and felt that it was a pity to move out, so she pointed to the pot of fairy feather green pothos and said:

"Put down this pot, those flowers smell good, smell and don't sleep well, but this pot grows gratifyingly, and it looks pleasing in the house."

Mama looked at it, and saw that the whole plant was raised in water, pulled it out and checked it, but there was nothing, and thought that it would be better to do this, and there was no need to worry about anything unclean buried in the soil, so she agreed.
