In the evening, Concubine Li called someone to invite Ye Wanwan on time. Ye Wanwan had already changed out of the clothes she wore in the morning, but she was still wearing a gorgeous outfit and her beauty was not diminished.
Hehuan Hall was a bit far away, so Ye Wanwan walked there on a chariot. When she got to the door, Concubine Li personally came out to greet her: "Wanwan, you're finally here."
As Li Fei spoke, she walked forward and took Ye Wanwan's hand affectionately.
Ye Wanwan paused a step, cleverly avoided it, and stepped forward. She was not used to being close to others, nor did she like being held by others like a sister. However, her avoidance was viewed by others as a sign of high-mindedness.
She was arrogant and felt that she was superior, even if Concubine Li became the Queen Mother, she would not take it seriously.
Looking at Li Fei's politeness and flattery, and then looking at Ye Wanwan's arrogance, everyone might be tempted to complain for Li Fei, but unfortunately no one dared to speak out.
Concubine Li welcomed Ye Wanwan in, where tea and snacks were prepared, and she also called Princess Fuying to accompany her.
In a few years, Zhao Zhuo grew up into a handsome young man, and Princess Fuying also grew taller and changed her appearance. She still had baby fat on her face, but she had a very pretty face and big round eyes, which was very lovable.
"Fuying has met the empress."
Ye Wanwan really likes Princess Fuying and doesn't hate her now, so she rarely gives Fuying a good look: "No courtesy, please sit down."
The three of them sat down. Ye Wanwan didn't really want to talk, so Li Fei naturally took the initiative to say hello: "Wanwan, try it quickly. This is Fuying's favorite food. When she heard that you were coming, she specially asked someone to prepare it.
of."
This was obviously true. Fu Ying stood up and served Ye Wanwan some snacks and placed them in front of her. Behind her, Lin Zheng came over with a silver needle. Ye Wanwan raised her hand and asked him to step back.
After Ye Wanwan was poisoned last time, every meal she ate had to be tested for poison, but today was a special exception. It was just a snack, so it wouldn't be a problem.
Li Fei tried hard to show her enthusiasm, but during the funeral, she could not dance or watch operas. She could only chat, and Li Fei and Ye Wanwan could not talk together. Ye Wanwan did not want to make excuses with her.
I don't want to accept polite words, so I don't want to be too embarrassed.
Fortunately, Princess Fuying was liked by Ye Wanwan, so she didn't talk about government affairs or anything like that. When it came to Princess Fuying's piano skills and painting skills, Ye Wanwan was willing to give some advice. They were both big and small, and the questions and answers were harmonious.
Li Fei was just a decoration on the side. Seeing the two of them getting along so harmoniously, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She knew that Ye Wanwan was a good person. Although she was arrogant, she was kind-hearted. She also wanted to become good sisters with Ye Wanwan, but for some reason they became farther and farther away. Now they are strangers even though they are sitting next to each other.
Fortunately, Ye Wanwan did not target her children. The Ye family supported the eldest prince's ascension to the throne, and she also liked Fu Ying, which was a comfort.
After more than half an hour, Zhao Zhuo came back. Looking at the three people in the room, he said hello first: "Mother Ye, my concubine."
Ye Wanwan raised her eyebrows and returned the favor to her mother-in-law. Is it because she can't call her mother-in-law here?
Concubine Li greeted her with a smile: "Your Majesty has arrived at just the right time. We are just about to have a banquet. I was afraid of delaying your business and did not dare to call you."
Zhao Zhuo stepped forward and said, "I'll be bothering you there."
Four people sat down at a table, with Concubine Li sitting in the middle, Zhao Zhuo and Ye Wanwan on the left and right, and Princess Fuying sitting next to Ye Wanwan.
Seeing this, Concubine Li couldn't help but laugh: "Fuying, this girl has been in love with Wanwan since she was a child, and she sticks to her whenever she gets the chance. Why don't we send you to live with the imperial concubine."
Fuying smiled and said nothing. Ye Wanwan looked at her with a smile in her eyes: "No, I've always been lazy, don't teach the princess a bad lesson."
Concubine Li sighed with emotion: "If Fuying was as talented as Wanwan, I would be completely satisfied."
Although Ye Wanwan likes Fuying, she doesn't accept Concubine Li forcing people into her place. Now she doesn't want to offend anyone: "Princess Fuying is very good."
Seeing that Ye Wanwan did not accept any move, Li Fei had no choice but to remain silent. The dinner table suddenly became quiet, but Zhao Zhuo spoke: "The Ministry of Rites reported today that preparations have been made for the enthronement ceremony."
It’s all right, and I’ll sacrifice it to heaven in three days.”
"After I officially ascend the throne, I will designate my mother-in-law as the Queen Mother, restore the honor of the Imperial Concubine, and call me the Imperial Concubine. I will still live in Guanju Palace. I wonder what your Majesty wants?"
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan slowly put down her chopsticks: "The Imperial Concubine sounds old-fashioned. Since the late Emperor has deposed me as a commoner, the Emperor does not need to grant me another title."
"I should have told the emperor about this, but I forgot about it early this morning. The Qiwu Villa is very good. The emperor should give it to me."
Zhao Zhuo was surprised: "Your Majesty, do you want to go out to the palace?"
Concubine Li was also surprised: "Wanwan, what are you doing?"
Ye Wanwan: "What's so surprising about this? I have been in this palace since I was young and have never seen the scenery elsewhere. It is a pity. As an emperor's concubine, it is fate to die in this palace, but
Now it is the late emperor's personal decree. Since I am no longer a concubine, why should I trap myself in this palace?"
"Then..." Li Fei wanted to say that they could be companions, but Zhao Zhuo interrupted: "Okay, I promise, empress."
Ye Wanwan glanced at him and raised the wine glass in front of her: "Then thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Li looked very uncomfortable, so she asked why Ye Wanwan didn't get close to her. It turned out that she had such an idea, but even if she wanted to get out of the palace, there was no need to be so extreme. No one paid attention to her, but
She has never offended her, or does it mean that in her heart, she has never looked down upon her?
