The location of Xiaoxiang Palace is not very good. It is far away from the Imperial Garden, but not far from Leng Palace. It is considered a relatively remote residence. The Xiaoxiang Palace is quite large, with a spacious courtyard. The main hall is also quite impressive. There are floors in the room and piles in the courtyard.
Yes, they are all good things.
It is just a side hall, with gold and jade inlays, flowers and brocades, and everything is exquisite. It can be seen that although the fourth princess is gone, the position of the concubine Shu is still very stable.
She was quite favored by her cheap aunt. Regardless of whether the emperor wanted to compensate her or something else, at least Concubine Shu was not made angry because she lost her daughter.
I heard that once a woman in this palace falls out of favor, her life is not as comfortable as that of a palace maid! As for whether she has ever been so miserable in later TV dramas, she doesn't know.
However, Concubine Shu's strong natal family is also one of the reasons why she remains so favored.
Just when Li Man'er was in a daze, the beaded curtain was raised, and a dark shadow floated, it was her cheap aunt, the concubine Li Qingshu who was personally named by the Holy Emperor, came.
Li Man'er stood up quickly, went up to see Concubine Shu, and gave a blessing ceremony, "I have seen the empress."
Concubine Shu had no airs at all. She walked up to her affectionately and helped her up, "Let me see, little Man'er is getting better and better."
Li Man'er was secretly surprised, wondering what Li Qingshu meant. In the impression of the original owner, no one in the Li family was friendly to her. Even Li Qingyun, a little twelve-year-old kid, relied on his status as the heir to treat her.
Li Man'er made vicious remarks. If she hadn't come, the original owner might have been bullied by them!
Why did Li Qingshu treat her so well, without any pretense at all, and she was quite concerned in her words!
Observe again.
Li Man'er calmly said: "How is it that your Majesty is in the palace? Grandma and I miss you very much."
Li Qingshu pulled Li Man'er to sit on the big Kang near the window, patted her hand gently and said: "There are no outsiders here, why are you so restrained and don't even call me aunt?"
Li Man'er couldn't see through her depth for a while, so he could only call her calmly.
"That's right." Li Qingshu smiled happily and asked: "You came from the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Queen Mother summoned you, but for your marriage?"
This Li Qingshu actually cares about her! Li Man'er can see the true feelings in Li Qingshu's eyes. If the affection is fake, it can only mean that Li Qingshu is a good actress, and her acting skills have deceived Li Man'er.
"Yes!" Li Man'er nodded, "Aunt, I want to break off the engagement."
There was a smile in Li Qingshu's eyes, "But I've thought about it clearly."
Li Maner couldn't see through her attitude for a while, but he expressed his attitude clearly.
"It's not sweet to be strong. Even if the Queen Mother grants me a marriage, there is no reason why I will be involved in it for the rest of my life. The eldest princess has a tough attitude. She has always disliked me and the young master." Li Man'er said: "
He looked down on me before, but now Man'er doesn't look down on him anymore."
The smile in Li Qingshu's eyes grew stronger, "Can you tell me why?"
Probably wanting to save face for her, Aunt Wenxiu kicked out all the people waiting in the room, leaving only her and Zi Yan in the side hall.
"If you are not successful in writing and martial arts, you will not be able to give birth to a good child."
"You." Li Qingshu nodded Li Man'er's nose affectionately, "I wish I had figured it out earlier."
Li Man'er deliberately tested Li Qingshu and said immediately: "You can't blame me entirely! Aunt, I once thought that the marriage given by the Queen Mother could not change, and sooner or later I would marry to the Duke of Rongguo. But who could have thought
People look down on me at all and try every means to throw dirty water on me."
Li Qingshu frowned slightly, "I have also heard about that matter, but there is no evidence..."
"I know everything. I have known since I was a child that my second sister and I are different. I don't have the protection of my mother, so everything is difficult. She has the protection of her mother, and everything goes smoothly."
Li Qingshu patted the back of her hand with some distress, "I entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and I know how difficult life is without relatives around me. They only value people who can bring honor and benefits to the family.
Who would pity the weak and feel sorry for their own flesh and blood?"
Aunt Wenxiu hesitated to speak. She wanted to persuade but didn't know where to start.
Yo ho!
There is a situation!
Li Man'er has always thought that Li Qingshu is the pride of the Li family, the honor and appearance of the Li family. She is only twenty-five years old, and she has climbed to the concubine position after giving birth to a princess. This is an amazing achievement. How many people are there in the harem?
A woman can never cross the threshold of concubinehood in her entire life!
For people like Li Qingshu, even if she has the support of her mother-in-law, she must be a scheming, capable, and even ambitious person in order to survive in the fierce harem and live happily.
good.
But now, it seems that this may not be the case! This cheap aunt seems to be quite critical of her mother and brother.
Could it be that she was unwilling to enter the palace at the beginning?
It is really possible that the ancients were precocious, and fifteen years old was already the age when many girls got married and had children. Maybe Li Qingshu had a sweetheart, but her family did not agree and insisted on sending her to the palace to marry an old man.
Isn’t this contradiction coming?
As for a woman, in her best years, it would be strange to be able to feel balanced when she devotes herself to an old man who is old enough to be her father. Besides, there are a lot of fights in the harem. Every step she takes must be exhausting and careful, and her life must be uncomfortable.
My daughter is also dead...
Thinking about it this way, Li Qingshu might have been regretting countless nights when she couldn't sleep, regretting her compromise, regretting that she had made sacrifices for the family. If she married a well-matched family and became the head of the family, her life would definitely be free.
a lot of.
"Aunt, it's too late for Man'er to know this truth." Li Man'er said: "But it's not too late to rein in the situation. Now that the Queen Mother has agreed to Man'er's request, things will be righted soon and both sides will be free."
Li Qingshu didn't know what she thought of, but she actually laughed, "You, that's how you use it to bring order to chaos."
Wenxiu saw that Li Qingshu's eyebrows had relaxed a lot, and she said happily: "Your Majesty, it's hard to see the girl for once. Can you please save some food? I will ask the kitchen to add some more dishes."
"That's exactly the reason." Li Qingshu said happily: "It's still early. You can have lunch, talk to me, and leave the palace before sunset."
"Yes, I listen to my aunt."
Li Maner was very curious about Li Qingshu. She could feel the kindness in Li Qingshu, which she had never thought of before.
Think about it, when Li Qingshu entered the palace, Li Man'er was only six or seven years old, and she didn't remember much. How could she know whether this aunt was good or bad?
