Lin Youyi actually knew that if he confessed his mistake to the Queen Mother and promised to persuade His Majesty to favor the Queen Mother, he would be able to pass the test of the Queen Mother.

But Li Duanjin took all the pressure for her, even if she didn't respond, she didn't want to betray him, so she could only pretend to be stupid.

When the Queen Mother heard that Li Duanjin was ordered by her to take care of Lin Youyi, her expression softened a little, "Your Majesty should know that apart from government affairs, the most important duty of your Majesty is to spread the rain and dew and extend the royal blood. He has not set foot in the harem for more than half a year. As a queen, It is reasonable to advise Your Majesty!"

"Yes, I will persuade Your Majesty well."

The queen mother thought of punishing Lin Youyi for three days. At this time, Lin Youyi was not angry, and her attitude was still sincere. The anger in her heart dissipated a lot, and then she mentioned the matter of the draft.

"Whether the concubine dies or enters the cold palace, Aijia asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange this year's draft. Now that the queen is in good health, you will take care of the rest of the matter."

"Yes, I would like to obey my mother's orders."

After Lin Youyi left, the Empress Dowager said to Jingyi, "Did the Ai Family treat the Empress too harshly?"

Jingyi comforted, "You can't let go of the matter of Concubine Gao. From the perspective of slaves, the Queen and Concubine Gao are not the same. The Empress has a sense of propriety."

"The Ai family only hopes that His Majesty will not follow the old path of the late emperor, otherwise, the Ai family will really be ashamed to see their ancestors."

When Lin Youyi came out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Yingge looked worried, "Your Majesty, do you really want to persuade Your Majesty?"

Lin Youyi smiled and shook his head.

"But if the empress dowager finds out, she will punish you again. The empress dowager is very strict."

"It has never been easy for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other since ancient times. From the standpoint of queen mother, I can understand her worry, but I don't want to go against His Majesty's wishes, so let's do it first."

At noon, when Li Duanjin came to eat, he asked, "How is the queen mother? Did you make things difficult for you?"

Lin Youyi shook her head, "Your Majesty is worried, so you should go and see for yourself. There is no overnight feud between mother and son. The queen mother didn't make things difficult for me, she just asked me to persuade her majesty to go to the harem."

Li Duanjin became interested, looked at Lin Youyi with a smile, "How did you answer?"

"Of course I promised my mother to persuade you well."

The smile line on the corner of Li Duanjin's mouth widened, "Oh? How are you going to persuade me?"

"It depends on His Majesty's answer or not. The concubine thought, Your Majesty should not come to Kunning Palace blatantly. The Kunning Palace will be closed for several days."

Li Duanjin smiled, nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

"Your Majesty agreed?" Lin Youyi asked.

"The queen said, which time did I not agree?" Li Duanjin replied.

Lin Youyi was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it for a while, it seemed to be true.

Thinking that she might not be able to see each other for a few days, Lin Youyi revealed to Li Duanjin what she had already thought in her heart, "Your Majesty, my concubine asked the imperial physician why Concubine Tian, ​​He Cairen, and Yan Jieyu at the beginning were physically aware. Such serious injuries have a lot to do with their young age when they conceived, and this concubine wondered if he could ask His Majesty for an order."

Li Duanjin looked at Lin Youyi for a long time before speaking, "Say it."

"I hope that Your Majesty will be considerate of concubines. Concubines under the age of 15 can choose to drink contraceptive decoction after being favored."

After Li Duanjin left, Lin Youyi ordered that Kunning Palace be locked.

Ping'er was worried, "Your Majesty left angrily, and the empress locked the door behind her back, I'm afraid His Majesty would mind."

Mother Xu could see that the two had feelings for each other, but she was not in a hurry, "There is no husband and wife who doesn't quarrel."

The concubines in the harem have already accumulated a lot of resentment towards the queen for occupying His Majesty for three months. When they heard that His Majesty left Kunning Palace in a fit of anger, many people could only applaud.

The mind that had been temporarily rested became active again.

"There are quite a lot of people in the Royal Garden now." Liu Li came to see Lin Youyi, "Okay, why did you and His Majesty quarrel? They are quick-witted."

"The Empress Dowager doesn't like having special favors in the harem." Lin Youyi said, "It's better not to confront her at this juncture."

Liu Li smiled, "I just like how flexible you are."

Lin Youyi smiled and gave her a white look, "It's not a turtle, it can bend and stretch."

Liu Li laughed even louder, "Your Majesty is not here, I want to spend dinner with you." Ever since eating the food of Kunning Palace a few times, Liu Li couldn't put it down.

But His Majesty stayed in Kunning Palace for three months, how could Liu Li dare to snatch food in front of Li Duanjin, God knows she would go crazy.

"Welcome." Liu Li's love of food and creativity always inspired Lin Youyi to come up with new ideas from time to time, and the two were also like-minded.

"You're not in vain, Qionglou, bring me my gift." Liu Li called out.

The court lady Qionglou presented a wooden box to Lin Youyi, "This is a woodcarving made by our own hands, I hope the empress will like it."

Lin Youyi opened the box, and saw a wooden statue inside. Looking carefully, the figure on the statue was exactly Lin Youyi.

"It's very good." Lin Youyi praised, sculpting her expression very vividly, even her eyelashes, the roots are distinct, very skilled. "I love so much."

Lin Youyi immediately asked Yingge to place the portrait in front of her dressing table so that she could see it every day.

Lin Youyi was still a fifth-grade dish, but today there was more Liu Li, so the imperial dining room served tenth-grade dishes, and half of the dishes were filled with peppers.

After the dishes were served, Lin Youyi pointed to a dish of crispy pork with salt and pepper and said to Ping'er, "Let Heshun take this dish to Xuanzheng Hall."

At this moment in the Xuanzheng Hall, An Duo was inviting Li Duanjin to have a meal, "Your Majesty, the Empress has sent someone to deliver the meal. The Empress told you to remind you to eat on time. The Empress sent someone to bring you a piece of crispy pork with salt and pepper."

An Duo watched the empress and the empress poking at each other secretly, it didn't look like they were arguing at all.

Li Duanjin put down his pen, rubbed his eyebrows, and walked over, "Let the people from Kunning Palace talk back."

After a while, He Shun came, and Li Duanjin asked, "Is your mother in a good mood?"

"The empress is in a good mood. In the evening, Liu Cairen came to see our empress. They were chatting and laughing. In the evening, she accompanied the empress to have dinner together."

Li Duanjin ate in silence, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He thought about her all afternoon, but she didn't think of him at all.

"What did Liu Cairen say to make your mother laugh?" She rarely smiled in front of him.

"Liu Cairen made a statue for the empress, which is said to be very similar to the empress."

Can the statue have his Lantern King?Li Duanjin thought to himself.

Speaking of the statue, "Ando, ​​go and get the red sandalwood Guanyin statue that Annan paid tribute to in the treasury, and let He take it back to Kunning Palace."

Lin Youyi looked at the statue He brought back by the way, and murmured, "Did Your Majesty misunderstand?" She didn't say that she liked the statue.

At night, this was the first time Lin Youyi fell asleep alone in the past three months, and she tossed and turned a little bit unable to fall asleep.

At this time, she heard rustling sounds outside the window, and thought, could it be a mouse?

But the rustling sound not only didn't stop, but seemed to be getting closer.

There are thieves?
