The palace confinement of the Han Dynasty has always been complicated. There were servants, maids, concubines, and female officials in the harem. This was not the birthplace of the emperor as imagined by ordinary people, but more of a functional institution.
Most of the women in the harem had their own tasks, and they each performed their duties. Especially during the period when Liu E came to rule, the harem was even busier.
But one thing will not change, Liu E is still the master of the Sixth Palace, her will is still the location of the harem, no one dares to challenge Liu E's authority.
It's a pity that the women who were driven crazy in the harem can do anything. Li Wanyi wanted to see her child like crazy, but she knew that as long as Liu E was around, she would not have this chance.
It coincides with the festive season, seeing things and thinking about people, not to mention being in the deep palace. Li, who had been overwhelmed by loneliness in her heart, finally couldn't bear it anymore. When she heard that Zhao Zhen and Liu E were enjoying the festival together in Xuande Tower, she was already longing for it.
Li finally broke out when she saw her son.
The ins and outs of the matter are very clear. It was because Ye An's performance was so wonderful that everyone in the palace was discussing the matter, which aroused Li's longing for her son.
In fact, Liu E never restricted the Li family, and she was treated like a concubine. The only requirement for her was that she could not meet Zhao Zhen.
Such a decision may seem cruel, but in fact it avoids any possibility of the secret being exposed. At this time, Liu E cannot let Zhao Zhen know about his identity, otherwise once he knows, the harem will definitely be unrest. Will the Li family be affected by it?
Do you have a conflict of rights with yourself due to a change in identity?
What frightened Liu E even more was whether her right to rule before the court would be shaken, so she could not let the Li family make trouble in the palace under any circumstances.
Passing through the gorgeous palace and entering the corridor of the deep palace, no one could see Liu E's expression clearly under the shadow. At this time, her heart was full of anger. She had obviously promised that Li would give her a title.
He allowed her to be buried with him in Zhenzong's mausoleum after her death, and also gave her all the treatment of a concubine, but she was not satisfied yet and insisted on making trouble to see Yi'er.
He sold out bitterly and stepped through the Ruisi Gate. He looked at Lan Jizong who had been waiting here and said coldly: "Mr. Li is still clamoring to see the official?"
Lan Jizong shook his head and said in a low voice: "There is no more quarrel. I just want to talk to the empress. The empress... I think she is pitiful. She just wants to see the official. It has been ten years."
We’ve seen each other before, the last time was on Guan’s fifth birthday…”
"Absurd!" Liu Efeng opened her eyes wide and stared at Lan Jizong and said: "I don't know her suffering? But if she is allowed to see her once, there will be a second and third time! If one day she asks the official
Tell the truth, how should I deal with myself, and how should the official family deal with themselves?!"
Liu E's words were like ice knives passing by. The hairs on Lan Jizong's body stood on end and he did not dare to speak. Once this matter was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous. There would definitely be discord between the official family and the empress. In this way, no matter whether it was for the official family
It’s still a big disadvantage to the empress!
"No one else knows about this except the veterans of the court. If anyone else knows about it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Liu E's words made Lan Jizong promise repeatedly and he did not dare to say more. He knew that he was too weak and had no ability to intercede for Li. He just saw that the official mother and son could not recognize each other, so he felt some sympathy in his heart. But this time
At that time, he could only guide Liu E from the front to Ruisi Hall.
Entering the Ruisi Palace, in the slightly cluttered palace, Mrs. Li was curled up on a brocade couch, surrounded by strong palace servants staring at her. This scene made Liu E, who was also a woman, a little bit intolerable, but she still had a firm heart to go there.
Mrs. Li... raised her palm and gave her a slap.
Li looked at Liu E in horror, but the burning pain on her face made her wake up and whispered: "I know my mistake... I just ask the empress to let me see the official family. I promise that I will never do it again."
next time!"
Liu E let out a long sigh, stared at Mrs. Li's red face and stretched out her hand to touch it again: "You have followed me for many years, and you were once my favorite maid. I originally planned for you to stay innocent and leave the palace to find a good family.
, but you were favored by the late emperor and became pregnant with a dragon seed, so you have no hope of leaving the palace... I know your suffering and let you cultivate in the Ruisi Palace. I gave you everything a concubine should have and agreed to it.
You will be honored after your death, but you dare not think of me like this."
"I know I'm wrong. I just ask you to let me see the official family. Even if I take a look at the official family from a distance, I'll be satisfied! I'm begging you, my empress!"
After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she knelt at Liu E's feet, grabbed the ground with her head, and wailed miserably. Blood started to flow from her forehead after a while. The palace people around her couldn't bear to turn their heads. Even though they were obeying Liu E's orders, they were still facing Liu E.
This kind of human affection is still full of sympathy, after all, they are also women.
Liu E scolded Lan Jizong coldly: "What are you doing standing still?! Didn't you see that Li Wanyi was not hesitant?!"
Lan Jizong woke up in shock and quickly stepped forward to help Li up and said: "Li Wanyi dare not abuse her body like this. You are a noble person in the palace!"
"What kind of noble person?! You are nothing! If you can't even see your own flesh and blood, what is the use of this noble person?!"
"Presumptuous!" Liu E was furious. She turned to look at Li and said, "As a woman from the Tian family, you have to bear a heavier burden than an ordinary woman! Your identity is not up to you.
It’s me! It’s the late emperor! If you continue to mess around, I won’t kill you, but you will never see any benefit!”
Liu E's words deeply touched Li's fragile heart. Compared with death, she was more afraid of not being able to see her son in this life. She once again threw herself at Liu E's feet and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am wrong."
No! I don’t dare to do it anymore, please let me see the official!"
Liu E lowered her head and raised her feet, stopping Li from wanting to kowtow again. She slowly knelt down and looked at her and said, "Do you think I can let you see the official family again like this?!"
"Empress?!" Mrs. Li screamed, but Liu E remained unmoved. She just flicked her sleeves and walked out of the palace. Before stepping out of the palace door, she said softly without even turning her head: "It is my honor to promote Li Wanyi."
Rong, let Li's brother serve in the third class, serve as the right servant, and join the family as the marquis, with the right to raise points in Jingcang grassland!"
As Liu E slowly left, Mrs. Li instantly collapsed on the ground, but was lifted onto the brocade couch by the fierce palace ladies, all of whom had fawning looks on their faces.
Lan Jizong quietly stepped forward and said: "Congratulations to Li Shunrong! It's true that one person has achieved the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascended to heaven. My brother has found a job in the court and has nothing to worry about!"
"Master Lan, can I see the official family again in this life?"
Lan Jizong couldn't bear it a little, but he was still determined to comfort him: "You see, the empress has given your brother the treatment of a courtier, and being able to serve in the imperial palace is a qualification that only relatives can have. In other words, the empress recognizes his identity.
Naturally, she has recognized the identity of your official biological mother! Even though the empress is not letting go, in fact, her psychology must have been shaken..."
Li Shi smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, Lan, please don't lie to me. Your Majesty has promised me this every time, once, twice, one year, ten years! Lan, I know you are an old man in the palace.
, I also grew up watching the official family, just like an elder, can you let me meet the official family?"
Lan Jizong was horrified. He waved his hands and said: "Li Shunrong, you think highly of this slave. After all, I am just a... slave! You have asked the wrong person!"
Li suddenly grabbed Lan Jizong's sleeve and pretended to be exhausted and whispered in his ear: "Then who should I beg for?!"
"It's getting late. It's time for me to resign. You two should serve Li Shunrong well, and... It is said that all these troubles are caused by the palace people talking nonsense about "Ye Hou"'s performance in front of Xuande Tower. Who dares to talk nonsense in the future?
, I will not be lenient!"
Li Shi was slightly stunned. She obviously felt that Lan Jizong had bitten "Ye Hou" very hard. Could it be that this little Founding Hou could help her?!
