Chapter 175 Knock on the door
"Lady Li, Concubine Ying is about to break into our Changchun Palace. The palace servants and eunuchs dare not approach her for fear of offending her. I can see that I can't stop that bunch of rubbish. Lady Li, what should we do?"
The palace maid reported anxiously.
"Yes, Lady Li, Lady Ying is trying to break in aggressively. She is really becoming more and more overbearing. She usually just bullies you on the street, but today she came directly to your door."
The palace maids in Changchun Palace were extremely frightened of the unyielding Concubine Ying.
Before, Concubine Ying sent people to guard in front of Changchun Palace every day to monitor Concubine Li openly. After being punished by the Empress, she still did her own thing and found a perfunctory excuse that even a fool could see through. She is simply a crazy woman.
She also claimed that Concubine Li was disrespectful to her, but it didn't show that she had much respect for the Empress on a normal day. It was only because the Empress was kind that she didn't bother with her.
No wonder His Majesty never went to Ying Guipin's Yuntai Palace, nor summoned Ying Guipin to sleep with him. So what if she is beautiful? The ladies in this palace are all beautiful in their own way. Which one is not beautiful?
It was because His Majesty, out of nostalgia for the old times, took her along when he conferred titles on the six palaces, and promoted her to the position of noble concubine.
"Don't worry, Lady Li, if Lady Ying wants to hit or push you, we servants will definitely protect you.
If she wants to find a reason to make you pay respects to her over and over again, we won't listen to her this time. You are pregnant with the heir to the throne, and you must not make any mistakes."
Yan Shuer sat up from the bed, pulled her messy hair, walked to the dressing table and sat down. She rested her chin on her hand, looked at the mirror narcissistically, looked left and right, her eyes full of soft light.
It's so beautiful and delicate. How can I be so beautiful? Even my messy hair has a different kind of beauty. What a pity.
"What are you afraid of? Go and invite our respected Concubine Ying to the main hall and serve her some good tea. Use this box of tea leaves and tell her that I have combed my hair, changed my clothes, and will be here right away."
Yan Shuer took out a small box of tea from the dressing table and handed it to the palace servant.
"Lady Li, you are not going to poison Lady Ying, are you?"
"How can you talk like that? Is that how you judge me? Am I that stupid?
I have done something like poisoning someone in my own palace. Even if I can rely on the unborn heir in my belly to survive, I can escape the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of life. Is that a good punishment? It only makes His Majesty hate me.
I am pregnant with the prince, my body is much more precious than hers, and my future is bright. She is just an outdated concubine who cannot give birth and has fallen out of favor.
His Majesty told me that as long as I give birth to this baby safely, no matter whether it is a prince or a princess, he will make me a noble concubine.
By then, I will be the favored Concubine Li, who has a son. It won’t be too late to return the bullying that Concubine Ying has done to me.”
"I am a stupid servant. Please forgive me, Concubine Li." The palace maid knelt down and begged for mercy in a flattering manner.
"Come on, I haven't given birth to a royal heir yet. Be careful not to let others hear it and report it to the Queen. It's a small crime to punish you, but don't let me lose my position as a concubine."
"I can see that everyone here is from Changchun Palace, and Madam Li Guipin will definitely give birth to the little prince safely."
"Go on, stop talking nonsense."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
"Lady Li, why don't we meet Lady Ying? It's too dangerous. It won't be too late to meet her after she gives birth to the little prince and feels better."
Concubine Li was too bold. She dared to take risks even with a big belly.
"Lady Li, would you like us to go and invite His Majesty over? I'm a little worried." Concubine Ying was not a person who cared about manners, and Lady Li was too irrational.
"Can you use this little thing of a woman pulling her hair to invite His Majesty over?"
It is possible under normal circumstances, but today is the second day after the dog emperor's biological mother passed away and the first day of the empress dowager's funeral. If you want to invite him over, you have to use some tricks.
Yan Shuer didn't want to cause trouble at this time today, but the fish had already taken the bait, and if she wanted to catch the fish, she had to reel in the line.
"It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I can't just let Concubine Ying hate me forever. Concubine Ying has come to my house in person, so I just need to explain it clearly.
Concubine Ying and I are both His Majesty’s women, and we are sisters. Only when misunderstandings are resolved can there be harmony in the harem!
Don't worry, Concubine Ying is just arrogant and looks down on others because of her high birth.
She's not crazy, can she just kill me, or can you just watch her kill me?"
"Lady Li, we will protect you and the little prince in your belly even if it costs our lives." The palace servants expressed their loyalty in unison.
"understood."
Yan Shu'er simply asked the palace maid to put her hair into a single bun, put on a sharp silver hairpin, and changed into a plain white satin skirt.
"Are you wearing too little, Lady Li? I'm worried you might be cold."
"When you are pregnant, your body is like a furnace, how can you feel cold? I feel very hot now. The floor heating in the inner hall is too high.
If I feel cold when I go out, I can just add some more charcoal to the fumigation basket in the main hall. If I still feel cold, I can invite Concubine Ying into the inner hall to have a chat."
"Lady Li!"
"Let's go, it's time to go meet Concubine Ying."
"Yes, Lady Li."

On the way to Ci'an Palace.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ying did not return to Yuntai Palace, but went to Concubine Li's Changchun Palace."
"Has she not taken medicine recently?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ying is suffering from a heart disease. I have never seen an example of a heart disease being cured."
Concubine Ying is obsessed with her child. Even if Concubine Ying is still able to give birth today, will Your Majesty have a child with her?
No, based on his understanding of Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. Even if he does not have a child with Concubine Ying, the family line will be extinct, and Your Majesty will not compromise.
"Oh, forget it, Zhang Deli, do you think I should allow her to commit suicide? Or should I lock her up in the Yuntai Palace?"
