Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

The Yu'er the emperor mentioned was the child born to him by Concubine Li, named Leng Yu.

The reason why he is alive today is because Concubine Li listened to Leng Xi's words and told her not to cause trouble again, so that she could wait with peace of mind for the day when her son ascended the throne. And tidied up.

But she never expected that the emperor would pass the throne to Leng Yu so quickly, which really made her feel like she wanted to cry without tears, and was furious.

Even today's royal annual banquet, she did not attend, but hid in Liyuan, getting angry and throwing things.

Leng Xi knew her intentions without seeing her figure. Before the luncheon, everyone had free time, so he and Yu Qiaoqiao lied about going to the hut and hurried to Liyuan.

He couldn't let his mother-in-law hide in such an important occasion. She should attend the annual banquet as a noble concubine.

As soon as he arrived at the main hall of Liyuan, he saw the mess on the ground. He guessed that the mother-in-law must have been angry just now.

"Go down."

He waved his hand, and the girl beside him hurriedly bowed and quietly retreated.

When only mother and son were left here, Concubine Li gasped and asked sternly:

"Didn't you say you were ready? Why is there no movement today? Are you scared? Or have you given up?"

Seeing the mockery in his mother's words, Leng Xi explained calmly:

"My son, I am not afraid, nor have I given up. It's just that the time has not come yet. Please be patient, mother and concubine."

"The time has not come yet? Don't be impatient? In another half month, Leng Yu will have ascended the throne. What opportunity are you waiting for?"

"So what if he ascends to the throne? It's easy to conquer the throne, but it's difficult to defend it. As long as I, Leng Xi, am still breathing, I will find a way to pull him down from that position."

When he said this, a sharp and dark look flashed in Leng Xi's eyes.

Concubine Li took a few deep breaths and asked again:

"It doesn't mean that you are fully prepared, so why didn't you move today?"

Leng Yu swung his clothes, sat down in front of Concubine Li, and said calmly:

"My plan was discovered by Leng Yu. He has laid it out around Prince Xi's Mansion, waiting for me to enter the urn. If I do it today, I will definitely fail. But don't worry, I already have a better way to deal with it. , it just takes time.”

Concubine Li calmed down her emotions and said with a sigh:

"Although the Emperor doesn't say anything, I can see that his health is getting worse day by day. In the past year, he has rarely invited any noble concubines into his heart-nurturing palace. I am really worried. On that day, he suddenly passed away, but you haven't accomplished anything great yet. What should I do then?"

"Concubine, you don't have to worry about this. You have your son at your knees. According to the practice of Daning Kingdom, you don't need to be buried with him, and you don't have to go to the cold palace. If it doesn't work, you can go to Prince Xi's Mansion and be a leisurely old lady. It’s also a good choice.”

"Ha ha……"

Concubine Li suddenly shook her head and smiled bitterly, then raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said:

"The old emperor is here. Your position as Prince Xi is still stable. If he dies, would Leng Yu have condoned you if he had known that you had rebellious intentions? My mother and concubine are worried. By then, it will not only be me. He will eradicate you as well. By then, how can we, mother and son, have the strength to fight back?"

Leng Xi knew that the concerns of his mother and concubine were not unreasonable. When Leng Yu could cover the sky with one hand, he would no longer threaten his status. However, he was not afraid because he had decided to fight with Leng Yu. Beihai Kingdom joins forces, and the military strength of Beihai Kingdom cannot be underestimated. If the people of Beihai Kingdom are willing to help him ascend to the throne, then he will have no worries.

Thinking of this, there was a faint smile on his lips, but he was not prepared to tell his mother and concubine about this plan. It would be better if one less person knew about such a thing.

So, he raised his head and chuckled confidently,

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, such a thing will never happen. No matter what, I will protect you. Just wait and see."

Although Concubine Li always felt that Leng Xi's words were unrealistic, she had no other choice at the moment. How much energy could she spend on someone who was about to be promoted to concubine?

"The mother-in-law is old and doesn't have much energy to fight for favor. Besides, judging from the current situation, fighting for favor is useless. Now the mother-in-law puts all her hopes on you. You must not let the mother-in-law. Concubine is so disappointed!"

Seeing that his mother-in-law's face was a little ugly, Leng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her:

"My mother and concubine can trust me, and I will not let you down. You have to dress up for today's annual banquet. Even if your father abdicates, he is still the Supreme Emperor, and you are also the Crown Princess. I just saw Concubine Li In front of others, she smiles all over her face. Her situation is no better than yours. Her child is only five years old and still needs someone to take care of her. However, her mentality is much better than yours. You have to ask her more about this. It’s learning.”

"Hmph, don't mention her to me."

When Concubine Li was mentioned, Concubine Li's eyes showed a look of disgust.

Over the years, Concubine Li has been in the limelight in front of the emperor, and she has suffered a lot because of it.

Her hatred for her came from the bottom of her heart. Now that she has a child named Yu'er, her status in the harem is even higher than hers. How can she swallow this tone?

If Leng Xi hadn't been suppressing her, she would have killed the woman and her child long ago.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and whispered in a stern tone:

"I want her to never be as good as me. I want her to kneel down and beg me one day..."

Thinking of that scene, a look of hatred appeared in her eyes.

Leng Xi didn't want to dissuade Concubine Li from her hatred for Concubine Li. He just wanted to end this luncheon as soon as possible so that he could meet with the people from Beihai Country. He wanted to see what the people from Beihai Country would do. What facilities does he provide?

……

Today's annual banquet went well. Leng Yu, Leng Xi, Leng Ming, and the children sat at the same table with the emperor. Luo Lan, Luo Xue, and Yu Qiaoqiao, as well as Concubine Li, Concubine Li, and Xiao Ling, sat at the same table. At another table.

The emperor watched the children eating with gusto, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He didn't know how long he could enjoy the days of having children and grandchildren around his knees.

He kept picking up food for Yu'er beside him, constantly reminding Leng Yu to take good care of Yu'er for him.

At another table, Concubine Li looked like the host. She greeted her warmly,

"Princess Yu, I remember you like this dish, so I asked the chef to make it for you to try."

Luo Lan smiled lightly, then picked up a green vegetable, took a bite, and then nodded,

"It tastes very good. Concubine Li is very considerate. Thank you."

"You're welcome. In another half month, you will move into Kunning Palace as the Queen. At that time, you will be the master of this harem. Sister Li and I will be under your care."

Although Concubine Li said kind words, Concubine Li felt that these words were difficult for her to accept.

She immediately snorted and murmured:

"Concubine Li is really discerning and knows who to flatter. No wonder she has been deeply loved by the emperor for so many years. This concubine is really ashamed of herself!"

Seeing that her words were unpleasant, Concubine Li replied unceremoniously:

"What did Sister Li say? I'm not flattering. Everything I said is the truth. Don't Sister Li want to accept the fact that after the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the harem will be transferred to another owner?"

"Hmph, there is nothing I cannot accept. There was no rightful owner of this harem. In the past few years, Concubine Chang Guifei took care of the harem, and later I took care of the harem. In recent years, the emperor was afraid of tiring me, so he let me Concubine Li took care of it, and now Concubine Yu takes care of it. This is naturally a great thing. I don’t want to admit it. I just don’t like some people who work against the will."
