A Romantic Beauty Around Imperial City

Qian Li had actually already been prepared to be scolded or punished before she had said these words again. Unexpectedly, Gong Ye did not reprimand him. He raised his hand and then put it down, as if she wanted to say something, but did not know what she should say.

That expression was full of contradictions and embarrassment.

After a long time, he calmed down and asked, "But …" "Before, the empress dowager had never told me what she thought, and none of the people around me accused me of doing wrong. Everyone even felt that I had done my best for the empress dowager, and everyone was praising me for being very filial …"

Qian Li pursed her lips, only then did she realize that, although the emperor appeared to be incomparably majestic on the surface, even though the person in front of her was someone like Gong Ye, who she thought would not have any weaknesses, it turned out that there were still times when he was having a hard time.

She sighed, suddenly unable to bear to make this man suffer.

It was true that letting Gong Ye lead a bad life was her real goal, but seeing the people he once loved being troubled by people he still cared about in this life, her emotions became incomparably complicated.

"Loyalty goes against the ears. It looks like the emperor should listen to more of the voice of the poor. Or perhaps, if the emperor felt unhappy about what he did as the empress dowager, you could ask him why and the empress dowager would tell you, right?"

"But could it be that there are many things that no one will really speak of without asking me?"

Qian Li hesitated, "Your majesty the emperor is the highest decision maker, he has control over everyone's lives in the world, ordinary people do not dare to refute your words."

Hearing that, Gong Ye immediately laughed, and said, "So, Qian Li, aren't you an ordinary person?"

Qian Li's face froze for a moment before bowing to Gong Ye once again, "Qian Li has been out for a long time already, it's indeed time to go back." Then, without waiting for Gong Ye to say anything, Qian Li continued, "Qian Li will take her leave."

Fortunately, Gong Ye did not stop him this time.

He caressed his lower lip and carelessly asked, "Liu Xi, tell me, was Qian Li shy just now? Otherwise, why would a fearless person like her leave in such a hurry? "

Hearing that, Liu Xi twitched his mouth at a place where Gong Ye could not see. He never thought that the emperor's narcissism would not decrease at all.

He did not answer, but bowed and said, "Just now, Imperial Concubine An's palace maid came over. She said that Noble Consort's appetite today is still not good, and can't eat anything. Should Your Majesty go over to take a look?"

Gong Ye touched his chin, nodding without hesitation, "Of course." After saying that, he instructed Liu Xi, "You don't have to follow us anymore. Go to the imperial kitchen and let them prepare the dishes that Imperial Concubine liked and deliver them there. Tonight, we are going to stay for dinner."

"This old servant obeys the decree."

When Qian Li returned to the Duke Palaces, it was already very late. She still went in from the backyard, and had already asked Li Ran to come back and investigate, but there was no one there.

As a result, Qian Li walked in with extreme ease. After that, without even changing her clothes, she directly went to Gong Ming's courtyard. It had been a few days since she last saw anyone, and the butler was startled.

"Princess …"

Qian Li nodded, "I just came out from the palace. How is the Prince?" Qian Li knew that no one would be curious to find out if she had really gone to the Imperial Palace during this period of time. Of course, even if she had, the emperor and the empress dowager would still be her witnesses.

As expected, after hearing this, the butler felt very guilty, "I'm sorry Princess, I've been so busy lately that I don't even know when you left. I didn't even prepare a carriage for you."

Qian Li shook her head, "Knowing that the Duke Palaces are in a mess these days, I naturally wouldn't ask for anything from the butler. When the empress dowager spoke up, I immediately brought the maidservants out the back door, and when I returned, it was the same, so I didn't disturb anyone."

The butler nodded, "Princess is indeed thoughtful. During this period of time, whatever happens in the manor will always attract the attention of others. So, it's good to keep a low profile."

Qian Li pursed her lips, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Butler hadn't answered my question yet? How is the Prince? "

The steward slapped his head and suddenly came to a realization, "I've already invited the Godly Doctor, and there's nothing wrong with him now. The Godly Doctor said that as long as the Prince wakes up, he'll be fine."

"Then... Can I go and see your highness now? "

"Of course."

Then, Qian Li started to walk inside, but just as she walked two steps, she was stopped by the butler once again, "Princess, there is something I feel that I need to tell you." From the point of view of the butler, Qian Li loved Gong Ming, so he felt that as the butler of the prince, as well as the one taking care of the prince's daily life, there were some things that would be better than telling Qian Li others.

"What?" Seeing that the butler looked like he wanted to say something, Qian Li frowned. "If the butler has anything to say, just say it."

"Princess, Lateral Consort … She … "She's pregnant."

Hearing that, Qian Li thought for a while, she knew that Susu and Qianqian were pregnant, so the butler said, Lianer?

He felt a little strange, as if it was sour, but at the same time, it was sad. However, after knowing that Gong Ming was the big brother of his current body, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. All the immature thoughts from before had to be dispelled.

Qian Li calmed her mind. She had a nagging feeling that after experiencing so much, hearing all of this again wouldn't just make her feel unsettled.

"Alright, I understand, but can you not overwork yourself when a woman is just pregnant?" You mean, you want me to take care of the Prince in Lianer's place? "

The butler did not expect Qian Li to actually think of this, he was startled, and immediately waved his hand, "No no no, Lateral Consort said that she can do it, and this old servant will also be busy so that she can have more time to rest. It's just that, Princess, you …."

"I've already explained it clearly to the empress dowager, there's no need to enter the palace anymore. Furthermore, the empress dowager was very concerned about the prince's health and ordered me to report to her every day about the prince's condition. She also told me to take care of him properly, so I had time."

The words had already come to this, the butler could not say much. Indeed, the doctor had already said that Lateral Consort could not overwork herself, if not for the fact that she was too tired to look after the Prince and faint, she would not even have known that she was pregnant. It could be said that compared to the other two, this person was truly someone that people liked from the bottom of their hearts.

"Then... I'll have to leave it to the princess. "

Qian Li didn't say anything else. She walked toward Gong Ming's room, and every step she took, became very heavy.

She slightly pursed her lips. One had to say, Gong Ming's genes were really powerful. How long had it been since all her concubines had children?

At this moment, the Godly Doctor was helping Gong Ming feel his pulse. His grandson was standing by the side with worry in her eyes, Lianer was the latest person to notice her arrival.

"Princess, you're here?"

Qian Li nodded, looking at Lianer who was about to bow to him, she extended her hand out to stop her, "Now that you are pregnant, let's skip all of those fake gifts."

Lianer blushed, "Princess, you even know about it?"

Qian Li nodded again, she wanted to say a word of congratulations, but was unable to do so.
