Three of the fourth concubines left, and a thoughtful expression appeared on Tang Bao's face.
Immediately, he looked at Concubine De.
Why didn’t Concubine De’s family ask for an audience?
Tangbao has roughly guessed the meaning behind Concubine Shu's sigh.
It's just because of the issue of heirs.
Logically speaking, Concubine De's natal family should be even more anxious.
Because among the four concubines, only Concubine De had no children.
While Tangbao was thinking about it, he went to the stone table where Concubine De was doing her paintings.
Concubine De's painting is a magnolia flower.
Tangbao stood aside and watched quietly.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that the painting style of Empress Dowager De is somewhat familiar.
Well, it seems that he and his master Yu Zhilan are from the same lineage.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Li would like to see you." A palace maid came in, knelt down and reported.
Sugar baby: "..."
She just said it!
Concubine De's natal family should not be silent.
After hearing the report from the palace maid, Empress Dowager De was still immersed in painting, as if she didn't hear it.
After a long time, he ordered in a cold voice: "Let her come in."
"yes!"
The palace maid agreed and went out to deliver the message.
Soon, a beautiful woman with a somewhat similar appearance to Concubine De came in.
"My wife pays homage to Concubine De," Mrs. Li saluted.
"Without courtesy, I'll give you a seat!" Concubine De said without raising her head, and there was still no trace of warmth in her voice.
"Thank you for your grace!" Mrs. Li said.
It seems that I have become accustomed to Empress Dowager De's cold attitude.
The palace maid quickly moved a round stool.
After Mrs. Li sat down, she looked at Tangbao with a friendly smile on her face.
Not only that, there is also a hint of enthusiasm in his eyes.
Tangbao bowed his head slightly to Mrs. Li with a thorough etiquette.
Immediately, he looked at Concubine De and said: "My concubine has something to do, I will leave first and wait for another day..."
"No need!" Empress Dowager De Fei put down the brush in her hand and said, "It's okay for you to be here."
After saying that, he took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid, wiped his hands gracefully, and handed it to the palace maid again.
The palace maid took the kerchief and quietly left.
For a time, only Concubine De, Mrs. Li and Tangbao were left in the flower room.
Sugar baby is actually a little uncomfortable.
The mother and daughter reunited after a long absence, and they might have something heartfelt to say. What kind of role do they think they are here?
"What's the matter, mother?" Concubine De looked at Mrs. Li calmly, her voice always cold and calm.
Tangbao was a little suspicious. Could it be that Mrs. Li was the stepmother of Concubine De?
Otherwise, why are you so cold?
Mrs. Li did not answer, but glanced at Tangbao.
Sugar baby: "..."
Looks innocent.
It was Concubine De who refused to let me leave.
Moreover, wasn't the way you looked at me just now very eager?
What, you dislike me now?
Concubine De seemed not to notice what Mrs. Li meant, or maybe she did and didn't care at all.
"If nothing happens to mother, please step aside." Empress Dowager De said.
Mrs. Li's expression froze, as if she was angry.
However, seeing her daughter's appearance, there was nothing she could do.
He had no choice but to endure and say: "Your Majesty, I am here this time to implore you to summon a little miracle doctor to diagnose and treat your condition..."
Mrs. Li said and looked at Tangbao.
After hearing what Mrs. Li said, Tangbao was not surprised at all.
Presumably the other family members of the palace concubines also said the same thing.
In addition, I am afraid that the concubines in the palace, the mother's family of Zhaoyi and others, may also have their thoughts this time.
King Cheng'en's showoff last night will definitely lead to this situation.
These are all within the expectations of the sugar baby.
However, Concubine De's words were beyond Tang Bao's expectations.
"No need!" Empress De Fei said coldly: "My daughter has never had the idea of having an heir. This is good. She will not let the little miracle doctor diagnose her!"
"How can this be done?!" Mrs. Li's expression changed and she stood up suddenly.
"Why not? My mother ignored my wishes and sent me to the palace for the sake of the Li family's prosperity." Empress De Fei said coldly: "The benefits I have gained for the Li family over the years are enough to repay Li
The kindness of my family in bringing me up! If nothing happens in the future, my mother will not have to come to see me again!"
Mrs. Li did not expect that Concubine De would actually say such words.
What's more, this is in front of an outsider like Sugar Baby.
If this spreads out and it is known that Concubine De is not willing to enter the palace to serve the emperor, wouldn't it bring disaster to the Li family?
If the emperor is angered, will the Li family still have a way to survive?
Not only that, Concubine De also looked like she wanted to sever ties with the Li family!
Mrs. Li was shocked, scared and angry.
"After so many years, you still hate me so much? Could it be that you are still thinking about that..."
Mrs. Li suddenly stopped talking, as if she realized that she had made a mistake.
Concubine De's expression turned as cold as ice in an instant.
Sugar baby: "..."
I feel like I've eaten something big again.
Some of the conjectures in my mind may be true.
Seeing that Concubine De did not deny it, Mrs. Li seemed to understand something in her heart.
His body couldn't help but sway.
Immediately, he closed his eyes and said earnestly: "The past is in the past. I advise you to have a son by your side for your own good. Don't say such heartless words again in the future. How can the relationship between mother and daughter be harmed?"
If you can say it, break it off..."
Mrs. Li's tears fell and she burst into tears.
Concubine De was indifferent and remained indifferent.
"Is it really good for me? I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case." Empress Dowager De said: "I just want me to give birth to a little prince, so that you can use this to seek more benefits for the Li family. I can't say that my ambition has grown.
He will try to seduce the young prince and seek the position of prince..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Li was so frightened that she almost fainted and shouted repeatedly: "Are you going to drag the entire Li family to death? How dare you say such treasonous words!"
"Since you dare to think and do it, why don't I dare to say it?" A rare hint of sarcasm appeared on Empress De's face.
Moreover, he calls himself "this palace".
Such a distant and indifferent attitude made Mrs. Li's heart feel cold.
For a moment, I seemed to have aged several years.
Mrs. Li staggered away.
Tangbao looked at Empress De Fei and didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, Concubine De's expression returned to its usual cold expression.
He didn't seem to care about what happened just now.
"What do you think of my painting?" Empress Dowager De Fei asked, pointing to the drawing paper on the stone table.
"Your Majesty's painting skills are so superb that Su Tang is ashamed of herself." Tang Bao praised her.
In my heart, I was even more impressed by Concubine De's determination and state of mind.
Concubine De, however, shook her head and said, "Compared to your master, I'm afraid it's still far behind."
Sugar baby: "..."
I can't accept this.
"Since you like it, I'll give it to you," said Concubine De.
Sugar baby: "..."
When did I say I liked it?
Moreover, I suspect that you want to send it to someone else.
The sugar baby was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse.
"Thank you, empress." Tang Baobao thanked him.
Concubine De nodded.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked: "How is your master... all these years?"
Tangbao felt bitter in his heart.
However, he still told the truth: "To tell you the truth, my teacher is very good, my body is healthy, and my style is still the same as before."
"That's good."
Concubine De nodded, her cold voice filled with gentleness.
