The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 282
Li Meiying heard the words, but she sneered, I'm afraid it's not because she didn't dare to ask extravagantly, but because she was a guilty conscience, the ungrateful things that Li Yi did back then, because you are his wife, you must know!
At this moment, the servant entered the hall and said: "I report to the empress, empress Le Fei came to pay her respects to the empress."

The Queen was worrying about dealing with Li Sister-in alone, when Concubine Le came, she hurriedly said to her servants: "Hurry up and declare Concubine Le to enter the palace!" After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and said apologetically to Li Sister-in-law, "Your concubine Son, Ben Gong and Sister Le have always been on good terms, so you don't mind letting her enter the palace in a moment of urgency!"

"Concubine Le is the emperor's uncle's favorite concubine, and she is also an elder, so why would my sister-in-law care?" With a meaningful smile on his face, Li sister-in-law said inexplicably.

After hearing what Li Sister-in-law said, embarrassment flashed across the Queen's face, at this moment Concubine Le had already entered the palace, seeing Concubine Le in plain and elegant attire, the Queen suppressed the discomfort in her heart, smiled and said to Concubine Le: " Sister Le, do you still remember Princess Yaohuang! You see, the one who is now born is as beautiful as the emperor's wife."

Concubine Le looked at Li Sister-in-law with beautiful eyes, a strange emotion flashed in her eyes, and she said with a decent smile: "I heard that Princess Yao Huang returned to China, but I haven't seen her until now. Chuluo is tall and graceful, and she was carved out of the same mold as Empress Ruan, like, really like."

"Concubine Le, please be well." Li Meiying stood up and greeted Concubine Le. Seeing Concubine Le's astonished expression, Li Meiying laughed and said, "The reason why my sister-in-law was able to return to the ancient country is all thanks to Sister Wanzhen. If she hadn't begged Concubine Jingxian has to speak to King Jingxian, and my sister-in-law is afraid that she will never return to the country!"

Concubine Le was aware of the big plan that Guan Zhen and Prince Ming were secretly carrying out, so after listening to Li Sister-in-law's words, her face turned pale. She looked at the queen with a puzzled look, and said with a embarrassed smile: "Guan Zhen is clumsy, It’s a blessing that I didn’t bring trouble to the princess, and I can help the princess there!”

What the queen cares about is Li Sister-in-law's courtesy to Concubine Le. After listening to Concubine Le's words, the queen concluded that Concubine Le has something to hide from her, but it's not easy to ask Concubine Le in front of Sister-in-law Li, so she smiled and said to Concubine Le Xie said: "Xin'er, what did Guan Zhen do for you, that made you thank Sister Le so carefully!"

Li Sister-in-law looked at Concubine Le in surprise when she heard the words, and finally fixed her eyes on the Queen's face, and said with a half-smile: "Auntie and Concubine Le are as close as sisters, don't they talk about everything, why don't you talk about such a big event?" I know!" Li Sister-in-law paused, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Auntie really doesn't know, then Sister-in-law should tell Auntie, Sister Guanzhen knew that Sister-in-law wanted to send her mother's coffin back to the ancient country, but because of It's not easy to ask Emperor Jin and delay again and again, so sister Wanzhen asked Princess Jingxian for help, and my sister-in-law was able to bring her mother's coffin back to the ancient country to be buried with her father in the imperial tomb."

Concubine Le is already sitting on pins and needles at this moment. God knows how much effort she has spent to gain the Queen's wholehearted trust. Years of painstaking efforts were all ruined by this girl, Li Meiying. Immediately she was shocked and said: "Guan Zhen is too courageous, she is clumsy, she dares to help the princess in this kind of thing, if it offends Princess Jingxian, wouldn't it be a burden to the princess, if the princess didn't report this matter In short, I am still kept in the dark."

The Queen and Concubine Le have also known each other for more than ten years, so she has a little understanding of Concubine Le's temperament. Now that she has heard Concubine Le's words, she already believes in her heart. Besides, Sister Li has evil intentions and wants to pick her and Concubine Le up. Disharmony is not impossible, I must not let her succeed, I made up my mind that the queen will not care about the truth of this matter, just change the subject and say: "My son, everything has been prepared by someone in this palace, you Let’s take a look first, if there are additions or subtractions, you can tell Ben Gong, and Ben Gong will help you add or remove immediately.”

Seeing that the queen was not in the trap, Li Meizhen was neither panic nor anxious, simply followed the queen's words and said: "Okay, everything will be done by Auntie Lao."

"This is a matter within the palace, and you don't need to thank me." The queen replied lightly, and then gave a few instructions to the female officer next to her. The female officer exited the main hall and turned around after a while, followed by more than a dozen court ladies. Holding the tray in her hand, on the tray were the bright yellow imperial clothes and empress clothes, as well as some common clothes of the empress. Li Meizhen knew that they were indeed the clothes of her father and mother before, but she did not expect that Li Yi would take good care of these thing!

The ladies in the palace walked up to Li Meiying holding the trays so that Li Meiying could see the contents on the tray clearly. Li Meiying looked at them one by one, and after confirming that there was no problem, she smiled and said to the queen: "These are indeed The beloved clothes of the father and mother can be buried in the coffin, there is no need to add or subtract."

The queen wished to save trouble, and Li Sister-in-law didn't picky and made various requests, so she was naturally happy and relaxed.

"Yunyu, Qing'er, you take these court ladies and put these clothes into the carriage first." Li Sister knows that it will take some time to move so many things into the carriage. Instead of letting these people wait until they leave the palace, let them go They sent the things to the carriage, so Yunyu and Qing'er could save a lot of trouble.

Yunyu and Qing'er were ordered to lead the maids out of Fenglin Palace, and at this moment Li Sister-in-law said to the queen with concern: "I heard that cousin Dingkang has been unwell recently, I wonder if the situation is better now?"

The Queen's face changed when she heard the words, and she said as if nothing had happened: "Thank you for your concern, your cousin caught a cold a few days ago and had some coughs. After taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, it is no longer a serious problem."

"Oh, so it's the wind and cold. It's really not a big problem." Li Sister-in-law replied thoughtfully, and then fell into silence.

She sat for a while, Yunyu and Qing'er went back and forth, Li Sister-in-law put down the teacup in her hand and got up and said: "It's time to leave the palace, thank you for your hospitality." After Li Sister-in-law finished speaking, she took Yunyu with her And Qing'er swaggered away.

Concubine Le saw everything in her eyes, until Li Meiying disappeared in the courtyard of Fenglin Palace, she looked at the queen in shock and said: "Sister, is this Princess Yaohuang too arrogant to not salute to her sister? No rules."

The queen snorted coldly when she heard the words: "What's so strange about this, she didn't salute me when she came to Fenglin Hall, but because of Guanzhen, she was kind to you!"

Concubine Le was startled when she heard this, but she said calmly and softly: "Princess Yao Huang has such a deep mind, she did it deliberately, I'm afraid she wanted to drive a wedge between my concubine and my sister , if we fall out of harmony, Princess Yaohuang will save a lot of trouble."

The two of them were talking, when the head servant next to Li Yi entered the hall and said, "Greetings to the empress of the queen, and concubine Le. The lord asks the empress to move to the imperial study. Since the concubine Le is here, she will also move to the imperial study. Princess Guanzhen sends a letter back to the country, and the ruler has important matters to discuss with the empress queen and concubine Le."
