After Concubine Duan said this, she asked Shaoyao to bring the fifth prince who had been fed. She looked at her son's red face and smiled happily. She also saw that the fifth prince was holding a delicate purse in his hand, and he seemed to like the purse very much.
, smiled and teased him: "If you like purses so much, would you like me to embroider one for you?"
Concubine Duan said, lowering her head to look at the purse in his hand carefully, and asked doubtfully: "Why does this purse look so familiar?"
Shaoyao came over to take a closer look, and was shocked.
Concubine Duan saw that Shaoyao's face looked strange, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart. She asked in a deep voice: "Where did this purse come from?"
"Yes...it was the congratulatory gift that General Wei's daughter Wei Zijin personally presented to the fifth prince at his full moon banquet..." Shaoyao answered tremblingly. Unexpectedly, the purse that he had put away would be pulled out again.
.
"It turned out to be a gift from the legitimate daughter of the Wei family..." Concubine Duan nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with the purse, but Shaoyao's look made her unable to help but feel doubtful!
"Since this purse is a gift for the fifth prince, why do you look so panicked?"
Shaoyao hesitated, not daring to express the doubts in her heart, but Concubine Duan was impatient and shouted loudly: "Just tell me what you have to say!"
Shaoyao trembled and could only answer bravely: "Go back to your Majesty, that day I felt that the embroidery work on this purse was too similar to the embroidery work of Empress Li back then. I always felt that it was a little unlucky, so I quietly let it go. Who knows?"
I know that this purse has been dug out again and returned to the hands of the fifth prince, so slave... slave..."
Having said this, Shaoyao did not dare to continue.
Concubine Duan snatched the purse from the fifth prince's hand and lowered her head to take a closer look at the embroidery work on it. This unique embroidery method was indeed exactly the same as that of the original Queen Li Jingyou!
At first, Li Jingyou's embroidery skills were unparalleled in the world. The concubines in the palace admired her very much and rushed to learn from her, but no one could embroider with her charm!
Now the embroidery work on this purse is clearly done by Li Jingyou, could it be...
Concubine Duan held the purse as if she had found a hot potato. She quickly threw it on the ground, shook her head and murmured: "Impossible, this is impossible..."
Seeing Concubine Duan's reaction, Shaoyao looked at the purse on the ground and was a little scared: "My dear, this servant has been wondering, and later I asked about it, and they all said that Wei Zijin is not a prostitute at all, so I doubt this purse..."
…It’s clearly Empress Li’s…”
"Stop talking!" Concubine Duan waved her hand, interrupted her sharply, pointed to the purse on the ground and said, "Why don't you burn this ominous thing to me quickly?"
The maids and eunuchs quickly picked up the purses on the ground and burned them. The fifth prince was also taken away by the wet nurse and coaxed to sleep. However, Concubine Duan remained frozen in place, her face as pale as snow.
Although Shaoyao was a little creeped out when talking about the purse, but seeing Concubine Duan's expression at this moment, she was worried for Concubine Duan. She helped Concubine Duan over and whispered: "Your Majesty, that thing has been burned. I'll help you go down and have a rest!"
"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shaoyao's hand touched Concubine Duan, Concubine Duan pushed Shaoyao away, as if she had seen a ghost, widened her eyes and said, "Don't touch me!"
Shaoyao was also startled by Concubine Duan's reaction. Concubine Duan seemed to be stunned. She waved her hand in front of her and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
