The Daughter of the General's Gate: The Genius Little Meng Fei

Chapter 56 Being Targeted
"Little Ion, I heard that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson loves you very much."

She said something slowly.

Feng Li'er hastily lowered her head again: "The young one doesn't dare, it's just that the young one has studied cooking skills, and the dishes he cooks have won His Highness's favor, so His Highness is kind to the young one."

"Oh, that's how it is. Seeing how you are so young, how can you still learn a good cooking skill? Could it be taught by your mother at home?" the queen asked tentatively.

"Returning to my lord, the little one's parents died when he was young, and he finally survived under the help of relatives who opened the restaurant. In order not to cause trouble to the relatives, so the little one started doing chores with the chef and learned how to cook with the chef. You have to learn a craft to support yourself." Feng Li'er made it up, half truth and half false, but the empress felt sympathetic.

"It turns out that the background is so pitiful, why did you come into the palace again?" She questioned again.

Feng Li'er paused, "It's a long story, my family's relatives were in distress, and the restaurant was closed. In order to make a living, the villain left his hometown and wandered to the capital. I don’t know the place I’m born in, and people think I’m too young. Later, I got sick and almost died. Fortunately, I met a brother-in-law who planned to sell himself into the palace to support his mother and younger sister in the ruined temple. Hanging, it's better to push the brother-in-law into the palace, so as to keep the incense of the brother-in-law's family, but also have the ability to help one or two. The little one was originally working in the big kitchen, and occasionally the Second Emperor's Highness tasted the meals made by the little one. I found it very delicious, so I was introduced to His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson."

She spoke with eloquence, and the maid next to the empress almost shed tears when she heard how miserable the child's life was, and the empress was also silent. She thought to herself that she was also a poor orphan whose parents had both died. I feel pity for him, and it seems that some people who don't see Yan'er's goodness are here to tell the truth. These bitches are really hypocritical, and the harem needs to be rectified.

She raised her hand and signaled the maid to help Feng Li'er up, and said a few nice words to let him take care of the emperor's eldest grandson's food and other things at ease in the future, and then let her go back after rewarding some things.

When Feng Li'er came out, she felt that the underwear on her body was wet. Her little heart was pounding with fright, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, she managed to fool her.

After returning to the palace, Li Yan did not see Feng Li'er, and was very anxious. When she heard that she was taken away by the people sent by the empress, she was even more frightened. Feng Li'er had already returned halfway.

He eagerly grabbed Feng Li'er's hand: "Li'er, what's going on, what did the imperial grandmother tell you, did you make things difficult for you?"

Feng Li'er looked at him movedly: "Your Highness, it's all right, the empress is so kind, she asked me to take good care of His Highness, and even rewarded me with many good things."

"What!" Li Yan couldn't help worrying, what to do now, the emperor's grandmother noticed Li'er's existence, how to get her out of the palace without anyone noticing.

They didn't know that this scene happened to be seen by a court lady next to Concubine Liu, and then the maid added more details and told Concubine Huang that they were holding hands.

The imperial concubine was overjoyed after hearing this: "Haha, Zhengchou can't find a way to punish him. Although it is difficult to mobilize him, it is too easy to mobilize a little eunuch beside him. It is as easy as crushing an ant to death."

Feng Li'er didn't know that she was about to face a catastrophe, and she was still happy about the Queen's affirmation of her, but she didn't know that Li Yan was also worried about her leaving the palace.

Ever since the imperial concubine knew about the existence of Xiao Ion, she started planning secretly. Unfortunately, Li Yan has been watching Feng Li'er very closely since the empress summoned her, basically preventing her from leaving the East Palace alone. They stared at Li Kun.

She was quite dissatisfied with this emperor and grandson, because he had no ambitions at all, and was very close to the East Palace, which made her resentful. She wanted to kill two birds with one stone, making Li Yan think that Li Kun had killed Xiao Ion, so that both It can hit Li Yan, and it can also make Li Kun and Li Yan turn against each other.

"Kun'er, come here, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you look much better." The imperial concubine pretended to greet Li Kun who came to pay her respects lovingly.

Li Kun was a little flattered. His grandmother always treated him coldly, so he hurried over: "It's my grandson's fault that I haven't come to pay my respects to my grandmother these days. Fortunately, my grandmother is still radiant, so my grandson is relieved."

Hearing her grandson's praise, the imperial concubine was still a little happy, but she was very angry when she thought that the emperor had not been in her room for many days, "Grandmother is old, and she is old and decrepit. There is no glory. I rely on you to take care of me, we are dependent on each other in Beijing, and your mother and concubine are also sick, so this family depends on you."

Hearing his grandmother's sudden warmth, Li Kun couldn't help feeling sour. After his father and king left the capital, they have always been indifferent to their mother and son, and there are only a few festivals where they will send two gifts to the imperial concubine. He said, "How can grandma get old? We still rely on your protection."

The imperial concubine also had some real feelings now, she raised her hand, "Come here, sit next to grandma, you really look more and more like your father, seeing you is like seeing him, this My heartless son, I don’t know how often I come back to see him in Peiping.”

Li Kun bowed his head: "Maybe my father is too busy."

Speaking of Li Su, everyone was unhappy, so the imperial concubine changed the topic elsewhere: "Kun'er, I heard that you often go to the East Palace recently. It is a good thing for your brothers to be close, but if you go too often, I am afraid that the empress will I'm going to blame you for delaying your brother's studies."

Li Kun smiled embarrassedly. He also knew that the empress and his grandmother had always been at odds, but the empress was kind to him and never made things difficult for him. He didn't want to speak ill of her: "The grandson and the emperor's brother have always been I'm so kind, I moved a little more unconsciously, I'll pay attention to it in the future."

"Grandmother didn't mean to blame you. Speaking of which, the child Yan'er is also pitiful. Your father was very close to the prince when he was there. It seems that the two of you have the same personality. But how did I hear that you are going to the East Palace now, all day long?" Hanging out with a little eunuch? What is his name Xiaoion, what kind of person is this little ion, and even a child as cold as Yan'er dotes on him very much." She inadvertently brought the topic to Xiaoion body.

Li Kun knew that there was nothing in the palace that could be hidden from his grandmother, but he didn't expect her to notice Xiao Ion, and he couldn't help being flustered.
