Chapter 151: Tiaohu Lishan
Early that morning, several carriages were parked at the gate of Taiwei's Mansion. Judging from the gorgeous carriages and the chamberlain sitting in front of the carriages, passers-by knew that they were coming from the Daming Palace.
At this moment, Mrs. Li was sitting in front of the huanghuali wood dressing table with auspicious animal and flower patterns, having her maid tie hairpins. When she heard footsteps outside, she did not turn her head. She only waited until a maid in a pink coat and skirt with a double-ringed bun came in.
He crossed his hands respectfully and took the lead in saluting: "Madam, the internal official of the Li Zheng Palace is here."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately looked sideways and said, "But what's the matter with Your Highness?"
When the maid heard this, she quickly said: "Madam, please be at ease. I heard from the official that His Highness misses you, Madam, and has come to invite you to gather in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand and was supported by the maid behind her, and said, "Then go back to the imperial court first. I'll go after I change my clothes."
Having said that, under the service of her maid, Mrs. Li changed out of her regular clothes, went to the front hall, and headed for the carriages and horses that had been prepared at the door together with the internal officials of the Li Zheng Palace.
After getting on the carriage, she didn't have breakfast because she was in a hurry. At this moment, Mrs. Li sat there calmly, twisting a piece of plum blossom cake that Yin Niang handed over to her, and tasting some of it.
However, just as the carriage was driving for about half a cup of tea, the carriage suddenly stagnated and seemed to have stopped inexplicably. Mrs. Li who was sitting in the carriage frowned slightly without hesitation, and Yin Niang beside her quickly put down her hand carefully.
After getting some snacks, he reached out to explore the car curtain and reprimanded: "You idiot, the person in the car is my wife. How dare you drive so carelessly? If you hurt my wife, you will be questioned!"
Hearing that Yin Niang was so angry, the coachman sitting outside the carriage knew that the Taiwei's wife inside must also be angry. He immediately pointed to the front of the carriage with a careful look on his face and said: "Madam, forgive me. Madam, forgive me. It was indeed a small oversight."
, Madam was shocked, but she suddenly discovered that there was a long insect blocking the road, and the small one was afraid that it would crush it, no, it was unlucky, so she stopped and started to move fiercely——"
Yin Niang, who had heard the coachman's rambling explanation and was about to refute it, couldn't help but shut up. When she looked along where the coachman pointed, she saw a gray worm with pockmarks entrenched a few steps in front of the car.
Although the place is far away, it is enough to make a woman from a wealthy family like Yin Niang tremble and not dare to look any further.
At this moment, a boy stepped forward cautiously and picked up a long branch. After a while, he came back and said: "Madam, the insect in front of you is a viper, but it is dead. The smaller one has moved away.
"
Hearing the boy's words, Mrs. Li, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but frown. When she saw the look from Yin Niang asking for permission, she just said: "Let's go."
After the curtain fell and the carriage moved forward slowly again, Yin Niang carefully looked at Mrs. Li beside her. Sure enough, Mrs. Li's face was not very pretty, and there was a hint of sadness in her brows.
According to the older generation, snakes are little dragons and are inherently spiritual. It would be ominous to encounter a poisonous snake like a viper blocking the way into the palace early this morning, not to mention encountering one that has been dead for a long time.
Furthermore, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and I shouldn't have encountered such a thing. The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I just felt like I was covered with a layer of shadow. I didn't press the button until I entered the palace.
Ignoring this matter, I spent a peaceful day with Empress Yang and Li Sui.
When the three of them had dinner, Mrs. Li took Empress Yang's hand and gave Li Sui and Jiamo a good warning before turning and walking out.
Li Sui took a look, smiled, helped Queen Yang turn around and sit down, and said, "It's cold outside, so I won't go out. I'll see my aunt off."
Hearing what Li Sui said, Li Shi smiled and said to Queen Yang: "What Aman said is that your highness should not work anymore."
Queen Yang nodded after hearing this and stopped insisting. Seeing Li Sui naturally holding Li's arm, the aunt and nephew walked out together.
When the maid opened the thick curtain, Li Sui supported Li and walked slowly to the corridor in front of the palace. When the two of them walked down the jade steps, Li Sui asked seemingly unintentionally: "Aunt, is there something on your mind today?"
When Li heard this, the smile that was on her lips paused slightly. She turned around and saw Li Sui saying worriedly: "When my aunt came today, she didn't say anything, but she seemed to be very worried -"
In the cold night, Mrs. Li gradually lost her smile, glanced at Yin Niang beside her, and then said to Li Sui: "You can always understand my thoughts."
After saying that, Yin Niang next to her glanced at the brightly lit Li Zheng Palace behind her and said cautiously: "Back to the Princess, when Madam entered the palace today, the carriage and horse encountered a long insect blocking the way. When the servants went to see
, the long insect happened to die in the middle of the road, so Madam—"
After hearing Yin Niang's words, Li Sui turned to look at the secretive Li family and said comfortingly: "It's just an accident at this time. Auntie, don't worry too much about it."
Li felt the girl beside her gently caressing her arm, nodded slightly and said, "I don't know, Lieutenant Commander, but it's okay for you, Aye, and the others to accompany us all the way -"
After saying that, Mrs. Li turned to look at Li Sui and blurted out: "How is your sister these days? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing this, Li Sui nodded and said, "Auntie, don't worry. My sister and the baby in her belly are doing well these days."
Seeing what Li Sui said, Mrs. Li just nodded and said as she walked: "That's good."
However, after taking two steps and about to cross the palace gate and walk to the corridor outside the Li Zheng Hall, Mrs. Li finally felt a little uneasy and said: "Maybe it has been a long time since I went to visit Yuqing outside the city. Now your sister is about to give birth.
I should also go and pray for the safety of their mother and son, and I will go there early tomorrow morning to have a look, and when I get back, I will have someone deliver the peace charm to the palace, so that your sister can wear it well."
Seeing what Li said, Li Sui nodded understandingly and said, "If Your Majesty and the others hadn't been away these days, I would have gone with my aunt."
When Li heard the words, she paused seriously, held Li Sui's hand tightly, and said with a hint of trust: "It would be nice if my aunt could go to Yuqing Temple. You and Yu Niang have had a good relationship since childhood. Now at this time
I feel most at ease when you are with her."
After hearing what Li said, Li Sui nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, aunt."
Seeing Mrs. Li gently nodding, the two aunt and nephew separated from each other. When they saw Mrs. Li slowly leaving the Zhengzheng Palace, Li Sui silently looked at the lights under the palace gate and said calmly: "Tell Li Wei, tomorrow
Guarding the Taiwei Mansion, once my aunt leaves the city and arrives at Yuqing Temple, she will immediately induce labor for Mrs. Xie outside the palace. The child must be sent in before my sister gives birth and before my aunt enters the palace——"
Having said this, Li Sui turned to look at Nian Nu and Yu Nu beside him and said with deep and calm eyes: "Apart from Jia Mo and Qing Zhi, you two are the only people that my sister and I can trust.
Whether the woman is safe or not, I can only rely on you."
