"Are you still eating?" Liu Zhenlian looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you crazy with anger?"
"What's so annoying about this?" Li Can slowly swallowed the porridge in his mouth and glanced at her: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat some together?"
"I have already eaten. Who sleeps in every day like you and only eats breakfast at this time?" Liu Zhenlian simply sat down across from her and looked at her in disbelief: "You really are not angry at all, no?
Do you care?"
"Why are you angry?" Li Can stopped the spoon in his hand and said calmly: "Isn't this an ordinary thing from now on?"
Yesterday, the eldest aunt said that those cherries were Zhao Zhen's "feelings" for her.
You can’t say it’s not the case, it’s indeed a sentiment, a sentiment shared by everyone.
"Why is this an 'ordinary thing'?" Liu Zhenlian frowned: "You are the quasi-princess, who do they think they are? Why should you give it to them if you haven't eaten well yet?"
"I have some too." Li Can smiled: "It's a pity that I finished eating, otherwise I would definitely share some with you."
"I don't want to eat it.
Why should the two of them be equal to you?" Liu Zhenlian was still unconvinced.
"On the day when the crown princess was selected, you saw that the eldest princess of Changle was determined to let Xia Jieyao enter the East Palace." Li Can held the spoon and gently stirred the porridge in the bowl: "And the Queen Mother will not let her go either.
Pass the opportunity to let Song Guangyao enter the East Palace.
According to the status and background of these two people, they will naturally be the left and right concubines when they enter the East Palace.
Of course Zhao Zhen will have a bowl of water to drink it."
She lowered her eyes as she spoke, took another mouthful of porridge, and spoke lightly, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
After hearing this, Liu Zhenlian looked at her sadly: "But, didn't you say before that you don't like working with others?"
"I don't like it now either." Li Can slowly swallowed the porridge and smiled at her: "Can you let me do it?"
Liu Zhenlian looked at her and was so sad that she couldn't speak.
Although Li Can's expression looked quite calm, she just felt that Can Can was so pitiful.
Cancan is really pitiful. She is forced to serve the same husband as Xia Jieyao and Song Guangyao. How will she live in the future?
"In the future, there will be many people in the backyard of the East Palace. The queen will send people there, and the remaining concubines in the palace, as well as the ministers in the court, will send people to the East Palace.
Every family hopes that their daughter will strive for success and win glory for the family." Li Can picked up a small piece of fermented bean curd with his chopsticks and put it on the porridge: "If I even care about this little thing today, what will happen in the future?
But how to survive?"
She seemed to be talking to Liu Zhenlian, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
"In the future, if Zhao Minghui dares to marry so many people, I will beat him to death." Liu Zhenlian gritted her teeth and waved her fist.
"You don't care, don't you?" Li Can smiled and looked at her with a crooked look.
Whatever Zhao Ye did was right, how could she care?
Being in that position, he naturally has his own considerations.
Even if you abandon her when something happens, it's only human nature and she shouldn't expect it in the first place.
Just like she is the daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an, she was elected as the Crown Princess for a purpose.
If Zhao Xie knew about it, he might feel a little uncomfortable, right?
They each have their own goals, and even if they get married, they are still in the same bed but with different dreams.
From now on, just live like this.
Treat the Crown Princess as a livelihood. If you don't do this, the Marquis of Jing'an will not be able to survive. If you think about it this way, you won't be so sad.
"It's different now." Liu Zhenlian clenched her fists: "Except for Wenru, I wouldn't be happy with any woman he is with."
Li Can remembered what Kong Wenru said yesterday and thought for a moment, but still did not say Kong Wenru's words to Liu Zhenlian.
She thought that if Kong Wenru regretted it, there would still be room for maneuver.
"Then, you won't pursue the cherry issue?" Liu Zhenlian asked her.
Li Can laughed: "How can I pursue this?
Am I going to say that I am the quasi-princess, and all the cherries in the East Palace belong to me, and ask them to hand them over?"
Liu Zhenlian asked her to make her laugh: "It's true.
But I feel unhappy when I think about it, especially that Xia Jieyao, who the hell is she!"
"She is the treasure in Princess Changle's hand." Li Can said with a smile and took another mouthful of porridge.
"The eldest princess of Changle is also blind, and she is still a member of the royal family, haha!" Liu Zhenlian was very disdainful.
Li Can told her: "What you said is just for me. When you leave this door, you can't talk nonsense like this again.
No matter what Princess Changle is, she is still His Majesty's sister. If anyone listens to what you say, how many heads will be chopped off?"
"I know, I have a sense of propriety." Liu Zhenlian didn't take it seriously.
Li Can ate all the porridge in the bowl in one bite, and the two sat and talked for a while.
Liu Zhenlian stood up and said goodbye: "I have to go and see Zhao Minghui and see if he has eaten today."
"Go." Li Can watched her off with a smile.
As soon as Liu Zhenlian left, Li Can greeted: "Tangqiu, come here."
"girl……"
Tang Qiu rarely walked slowly and quietly looked at her face.
"Such a thing happened outside, why didn't you tell me?" Li Can sat down on the main seat and raised his eyes to ask her.
Even if she didn't mean it, she still exuded the majesty and aura of a superior person.
Tang Qiu immediately knelt down: "My dear, forgive me...
My slave, my slave is afraid..."
"Afraid I'll be angry?" Li Can asked her, holding on to the handle of the chair.
"Yes." Tang Qiu didn't dare to raise his head.
"I'm not so narrow-minded." Li Can leaned back in his chair and said in a softer tone: "Today, since this is your first offense, I won't punish you.
If it happens again next time, don’t blame me for being rude."
Tang Qiu quickly kowtowed: "I don't dare to do that anymore."
Li Can lowered his eyes and asked her slowly: "Is it true that the entire capital of the capital knows about His Highness the Crown Prince's gift of cherries to the two of them?"
"That's not true." Tang Qiu replied: "Some people in the court knew about it.
But this matter will soon spread throughout the imperial capital, probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah." Li Can nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Send someone to the restaurant and teahouse immediately to spread some words for me.
It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to make Song Guangyao the left concubine.
Besides, Song Guangyao said, Xia Jieyao is a disabled person, but she is still engaged, so naturally she cannot compare with her, as she is the grand-niece of the Queen Mother."
Dayuan respected the left side. Even if they were both side concubines, the concubine on the left side was a head taller than the concubine on the right side.
Song Guangyao and Xia Jieyao both wished that something would happen to her so that they could give up their position as Crown Princess.
These two people don't get along well.
Since Zhao Ye has already had such thoughts, these two people will definitely plot against her when she enters the East Palace.
It would be better for her to strike first and create a pretext for Song Guangyao and Xia Jieyao to fight over each other first, thus making them enmity.
When the time comes to enter the East Palace, the two of them can check and balance each other, and she will feel more relaxed.
Tang Qiu raised his head: "Yes."
She was wondering in her heart, the girl never took the initiative to scheme against others, so what happened today?
Is the girl jealous?
"Go." Li Can waved his hand.
＊
Half a month later, the dispute between Xia Jieyao and Song Guangyao over the left concubine had already spread in the imperial capital.
In the streets and alleys, after tea and dinner, the common people were keen to discuss which of the two would win the position of the crown prince's left concubine.
This day is Grain Rain, and it is customary to enjoy peonies and eat toon.
The eldest princess of Changle specially held a flower party and invited everyone to enjoy the peonies and eat a toon feast in the garden.
Li Can was originally too lazy to attend banquets, but these days, she turned down countless banquets.
She finally understood the power of the words "quasi-princess". As long as she appeared, countless noble girls would flock to her, and the stars would fly over the moon, praising her to the highest level in the sky and on earth.
The only purpose of these noble ladies to please her was to lend her hand and enter the backyard of the East Palace.
Of course she won't do this. She will be in charge of the backyard of the East Palace in the future. Won't one more person mean more trouble?
It would be fine if Zhao Xie made the choice herself, she would not join in the fun.
She came to the banquet specially because she heard that Zhao Luan invited Song Guangyao.
She estimated that there would be something exciting to watch today. Xia Jieyao versus Song Guangyao was a good show that she couldn't bear to miss.
But when they got to the place, they saw that Zhao Zong was here too. When he saw her, he waved her over.
She was reluctant, but she couldn't refute his face in public, so she lowered her eyes and walked slowly over, secretly muttering to herself, is Zhao Ji so free today?
Or are you here specifically to see his two concubines?
