Everyone moved to the dining room, and the Empress Dowager pulled Baili Xixi to sit beside her, and the Queen and others sat down one by one.

Li Shuxian stood by the dining table. She took the chopsticks from the little eunuch's hand, picked up an exquisite crystal bag and put it in the Empress Dowager's plate.

The Empress Dowager pointed to the bottom of the table, and she said to Li Shuxian lightly: "You are the aunt of Princess Dongrong after all, and there is no reason why she is sitting and standing and serving you."

Li Shuxian quickly thanked her and sat down on the stool that occupied one-third of the time.

The queen had already had breakfast, but she still pretended to pick up a piece of hibiscus cake.

Baili Xixi drank half a bowl of porridge, and she asked, "I heard that my father had a concubine, why didn't I see her today?"

When Baili Xixi mentioned Concubine Li, the queen was so happy that she put down the hibiscus cake that had been bitten halfway. She said a little aggrievedly: "The emperor rested in Concubine Li's palace again yesterday."

The queen said and wiped her eyes with a veil. The queen was really wronged. Yesterday was the first day of the lunar month. On the first day of every month, the fifteenth day of each month, where should the emperor sleep at her according to the rules?

Concubine De and Concubine Shu also disliked Concubine Li who was favored, and only heard Concubine De say: "Today is a day to pay tribute. Concubine Li is so unruly. She is arrogant because of her favor. Relying on His Majesty's favor, she doesn't take the Empress Dowager seriously."

Concubine Shu also said: "It was the first time that Princess Dongrong entered the palace today, and Concubine Li couldn't even come here. Really, I don't know what happened to hold her noble feet?"

"What else can I do? Your Majesty!" the queen said sourly.

Concubine De and Concubine Shu were also jealous. The emperor rested in Concubine Li's palace for nine days, and Concubine Li was really favored!

The queen sobbed and wiped her tears, "My mom, yesterday was the first day of the New Year. The emperor stayed in Lifei's palace overnight. He really didn't take me seriously."

"It turns out that Concubine Li is really like the legendary one, so she likes her father!" Baili Xixi looked surprised and a little excited. However, Li Shuxian put down her chopsticks and lowered her head. Some things were not something she should have heard.

Princess Xirong and Princess Nanrong also sat silently.

The Empress Dowager looked at Princess Xirong, Princess Nanrong, and Li Shuxian. Finally, she glanced at the Queen coldly.

There is no way to say that my father-in-law is not good in front of my daughter-in-law, and this father-in-law is the emperor above millions of people. This queen is sometimes smart and sometimes confused. The empress shook her head in her heart.

The Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks and said to the Queen indifferently: "Empress, it's not that the Ai family said that the Emperor is so fond of Concubine Li, you should also reflect on it..."

"I'm reflecting?" The queen was stunned, and then she stood up excitedly, "What did I do wrong? Mother, yesterday was the first day of the lunar month. At noon, I went to the Dongrong Prince's Mansion and returned to the palace in the afternoon. The emperor went straight to the palace of Concubine Li. The emperor slept in Concubine Li's palace all night and did not even go to the morning court..."

The queen said, her chest fluctuating. The emperor's behavior yesterday really slapped her in the face.

The queen was so angry that she lost her mind. The queen sympathized with the queen, but she was disgusted with her and did not like her.

"Empress, have you ever wondered why the emperor likes Concubine Li so much?" The Empress Dowager interrupted the Empress, and her eyes swept over Li Shuxian like a knife. Li Shuxian shrank his shoulders, immediately stood up from the seat, and retreated silently.
