When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Fei Fu has always been very strict with her subordinates. How come there is someone who offends her like this?"
Concubine Li reprimanded the Seventh Princess: "You are such a serious kid, why should you bother your father with such a trivial matter?"
Then he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is just because the servants are ignorant and careless in what they say. This may not be what Sister Fu Fei meant."
The seventh princess cried: "Even if they are ignorant, how can they dare to make trouble like this? This is because the father is still here, and these slaves dare to cause trouble and cause trouble like this. I don't know what will happen in the future!"
Even if Concubine Fu and Fifth Brother don't have such thoughts, how can they control everyone? What's more, these people will definitely not be able to live happily in front of their master. After a long time, the clay figurine also convinced them to move.
"
"Okay, shut up now! I told you to stop talking, why are you still talking?" Li Fei was angry, "What does it sound like to make people hear you?"
"She has been wronged, and you didn't let her speak out. Wouldn't it be wronging her even more?" The emperor said, "Those servants should be cured, and they should be killed as a warning to others."
"Your Majesty, please don't do this." Li Fei shook her head.
"Why is this?" The emperor was puzzled for a moment.
"If we don't say it, it's just that we, mother and daughter, have suffered some injustice." Li Fei said, "But if we say it, the matter will inevitably become bigger. It will cause an uproar and anything.
What we know is that His Majesty punishes unruly slaves, but those who don't know think that we are stirring up trouble in front of His Majesty and are jealous of the great achievements of the fifth prince.
It was just a plate of snacks, and he had to be beaten and killed. Besides, this snack was not given to anyone else, but was given to the emperor's eldest grandson.
People said that she was an aunt and refused to give up a plate of snacks to the younger generation. She relied on the emperor's favor and was arrogant and arrogant.
How many people really know the truth? People in the world love to add fuel to the fire, and they want to make things bigger. When word gets passed around, it will inevitably lead to tit-for-tat confrontation between me and Sister Fu Fei, and we will be at odds with each other.
In this new year, please don’t make the people in the palace panic over such trivial matters."
The emperor was very pleased to hear this and said: "I didn't expect you to have such a broad mind and vision now. In the end, I still feel wronged to you."
"It doesn't matter whether you feel wronged or not. As long as your majesty is at peace and the harem is in harmony, why does it matter if you suffer some grievances?" Li Fei said softly.
He also warned his daughter: "This matter is over now. You are not allowed to mention it again. I will also call all the people in front of you later and have a good talk with them so that they can restrain themselves and don't cause trouble without knowing what they are doing."
Although the seventh princess was unwilling, she did not dare to disobey her mother and nodded silently.
In the second half of the day, the emperor and Qingque talked for a long time and felt a little sleepy.
Zhang Ze waited on him to rest, and the emperor asked: "Go and ask Concubine Li what to eat for dinner?"
Zhang Ze went away for a long time and then came back and said, "Empress Li Fei is feeling a little unwell and is lying down to rest. I didn't dare to disturb her. I just asked and came back."
The emperor couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? You were fine when you were with me in the morning!"
"I don't know very well. I also asked the imperial doctor to take a look. He said that the fetus was a little tired due to worry, so he has already prescribed medicine."
The emperor didn't say anything after hearing this, and came to Concubine Li in the evening.
Concubine Li was still sleeping on the bed, and the room was quiet.
The emperor ordered someone to stop her and not call her, so he walked quietly to the bed.
Concubine Li turned her face inward but did not sleep. Instead, she secretly wiped her tears and wet both her handkerchiefs.
"You still feel aggrieved," the emperor sat down next to her, "it's up to me to stand up for you!"
Concubine Li sat up and said, "Why did your majesty come so silently? I am rude to you."
"You are pregnant now and are extremely noble. How can you still cry and hurt yourself over something that is not worth it?" the emperor asked her.
"My concubine is narrow-minded," Li Fei lowered her head in embarrassment, "I'm not wronged, I'm actually a little worried and scared."
"I don't blame you for being afraid." The emperor nodded, "After I leave, you orphans and widowed mothers will inevitably worry that your master will overtake you!"
"What worries me even more is that the fifth prince is so popular now. What can we do to compete with him?" Li Fei said with tears, "I heard that Prince Jade escorted the baggage cattle and horses captured from the Xiongnu yesterday, as well as the prisoners.
The Xiongnu leader entered the city and was overwhelmed by the people.
People in the capital rushed to spread the praises. Not only did storytellers and opera singers compile stories about His Highness into dramas, but I even heard that some people even built a shrine to him.
The concubine said this not because he was jealous of the virtuousness of the Fifth Highness, he deserved all these things.
Not to mention the common people and ministers, even I am really impressed and happy.
But the more this happens, the more uneasy I feel. In this world, you are the only one who advocates for us. Once your Majesty ascends to immortality, who will be able to remember you for a long time?
After much deliberation, I might as well ask Your Majesty to make the fifth prince the crown prince! In this way, wouldn’t it not only comply with the people’s wishes but also prevent our mother and son from encountering any unexpected events in the future?”
Concubine Li's words pierced the emperor's chest like a sharp knife. He took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I insist on making a child with a yellow mouth the king of a country, but how can I violate God's will if it is so?"
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the fifth prince is the one who is truly destined by destiny. Otherwise, how could he achieve unparalleled feats?" Concubine Li sighed, "When I think about the possibility of killing my brothers in the future,
If we turn against each other and our lives are ruined, it would be better to quit early, which would be considered a good deed."
"Okay, you don't need to say any more. I know everything well, so you don't have to worry too much." The emperor patted Concubine Li's back gently, "I feel more and more tired recently, and now I want to lie down again.
Let’s take a rest.”
Concubine Li quickly stood up, asked the emperor to lie down, and asked diligently: "If your majesty feels really tired, I will ask someone to come in and beat you some more."
"It's not necessary," the emperor said, "just ask Zhang Ze to press the button for me before turning off the lights at night."
"What would your Majesty want for dinner? I can ask them to prepare it." Concubine Li asked again.
"Just be lighter." The emperor said, "In two days it will be New Year's Eve, and in a few months you will be giving birth, and by then I will truly no longer belong to this world."
The emperor said and slowly closed his eyes.
Li Fei stood by the bed and looked at him quietly. After a long time, she turned around and walked outside.
Instruct the people behind to go to the royal dining room and order the dinner to be prepared.
Then he said: "Go and see how the seventh princess is doing now. If she is also eating here at night, let her come over earlier."
Today's drama was planned by their mother and daughter a long time ago, and the purpose is obvious.
The fifth prince's victory was beyond her expectation, and it really caught her and Qingque off guard.
They no longer paid attention to the virtuous concubine, but they were really afraid of the fifth prince.
