Chapter 239: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Gao Jiyue (104)
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine!"
The concubines responded.
Everyone sat back in their chairs.
Li Siqi's eyes swept over them.
He slowly spoke, “What was the harem like before.
I believe you all know it well.
The palace power is not in my hands. I cannot control how you guys make trouble.
Now the Emperor has handed over the power of the palace to me.
I cannot let down the emperor's trust.
I would like to give you a reminder here.
I have always had a bad temper.
I also hate trouble.
Whoever makes me angry.
Don’t blame me for letting you know why the flowers are so red.”
Her voice was neither light nor heavy.
But it sounded like thunder in the ears of the concubines.
No one dared to say a word.
Some people don't even have the courage to raise their heads.
"I am not an unreasonable person."
Li Siqi didn't care about their reactions and thoughts, "My principle is that if you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.
Everyone should live a law-abiding life.
Don't make trouble for no reason.
To cause the Emperor's annoyance would be like slapping me in the face.
My bottom line is that you won’t let me live a good life.
Then don’t blame me for making you live your life crying and kneeling.
I have said what I should say.
If anyone has any comments.
Bring it up now while you can.
Say whatever you want.
This palace allows you to speak freely, offer suggestions, and express your own opinions..."
"..."
The concubines looked at each other quietly.
Still no one dared to step forward.
Not to mention being outspoken and expressing your opinions directly.
"Given the opportunity, you can speak your mind."
Li Siqi's voice was tinged with a hint of coldness, "If you are unwilling to speak, I will not force you.
So please remember, don't do anything out of the ordinary.
Otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself.
Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Concubine Yu, Concubine Wan, and Concubine Shu stood up one after another.
Seeing this, the other concubines had no choice but to stand up.
While bowing, she said: "Your Highness (concubine) will follow the instructions of the Imperial Noble Consort."
"sit down!"
Li Siqi understood.
It is impossible for them to challenge the authority of this imperial concubine today.
Nor will I give myself the opportunity to play the game of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Since no one is cooperating in this play.
Li Siqi was too lazy to continue finding fault.
After they sat down.
She then stated her request, “I am not the queen.
There is no need for you to come and pay your respects every day.
From now on, you can come here on the fifth or tenth day of your month."
"Yes, madam!"
"If there are any emergencies in the palaces."
Li Siqi patiently gave a few suggestions, "Send someone here or come here in person to explain the situation to me.
This palace will definitely arrange for someone to explain the problem.
If I cannot resolve the issue, I will definitely ask the Emperor to intervene.
I dislike people who like to act on their own the most.
Someone who is unwilling to follow palace rules and regulations.
You need to be careful to strike a balance.”
……
A quarter of an hour later.
The concubines walked out of the Yikun Palace.
After they came out, they realized that they had broken out in a cold sweat without knowing when.
The breeze made them feel a chill.
It was not until they returned to their own palace that they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Pull down the day.
Live a peaceful life.
Brother's place.
"So, all the concubines are convinced by the Imperial Concubine?"
Yonghuang could not hide his disappointment, "I didn't expect that Xian'er Niang would be so proud..."
He didn't finish his words.
Hua Xin knew what he meant.
I had to comfort her, "Big brother, Empress Xian has lost her heart.
If she dares to disrespect the Imperial Concubine again.
Not to mention whether the Imperial Concubine will take action.
The Emperor probably dislikes Empress Xian even more.
Now Empress Xian should behave herself a little better.
Maybe I can save some face.”
"Be content and do your duty..."
Yonghuang kept muttering to himself, but his expression became more and more unwilling.
He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Aunt, if this is the case, why would I recognize her as my mother?
It’s better for me to be alone.”
"Big Brother, don't say such things again."
Hua Xin's tone was somewhat helpless, "The Emperor allowed it back then, and you and Empress Xian can no longer be separated.
It would be good for Empress Xian to be quiet now.
Eldest prince, you are about to choose a wife.
If Empress Xian really causes trouble again.
Big brother, you look even less glorious.
It’s better this way.”
"Aunt is right."
Yonghuang smiled bitterly and said, "The Emperor has not yet designated a wife for me.
If Xian'e Niang angers the Emperor again.
Maybe the Emperor will vent his anger on me."
"Don't worry, big brother."
Hua Xin continued, "Empress Xian is not stupid, she also knows that the eldest prince is referring to Fu Jin.
Whether the concubine's family is high or low depends entirely on the emperor's thoughts.
It would be bad for no one to displease the Emperor."
"My Lord's wife..."
Yonghuang narrowed his eyes, "It should be from the Niuhulu clan, the Hesheli clan, or the Dong'e clan.
My master asked someone to inquire and found out that the legitimate daughters in their family are all of the right age.
Now it depends on which family the Emperor is referring to..."
"It doesn't matter whose family it is."
Hua Xin responded softly, "They are all large families with rich heritage. In addition, these old families have many descendants and promising male offspring.
I believe that the Emperor will definitely choose the most outstanding wife for you, the eldest prince."
"Ah."
Yonghuang finally showed a little smile on his face, "Aunt, do you think I should go to Yikun Palace?
No matter what, Imperial Noble Consort Wenhui is the vice-empress.
All the affairs of the harem are in her hands.
She is considered the person the Emperor trusts the most.
Maybe she will have a chance to have a say in the selection of my master's wife."
"Big brother is very thoughtful."
Hua Xin nodded and said, "But it is no longer appropriate for you to go to the harem, Big Brother.
I can go to Yikun Palace on behalf of the eldest prince.
Paying respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine.
I believe she will understand what the eldest prince means."
"it is good."
Yonghuang really didn't want to go to the Yikun Palace to pay his respects.
It would be a great pleasure for Huaxin to go on the trip on his behalf.
It was a rare occasion for him to be generous. "Someone just happened to give me some nice things.
Aunt, please bring it with you when you go to Yikun Palace.
You always need a few things to show for it.”
"My slave understands!"
……
this day.
Yikun Palace sent away the eldest prince’s aunt.
Unexpectedly, Princess Jinghe came with people again.
"Why is she here?"
Li Siqi really couldn't guess what the legitimate princess was thinking.
But everyone is here.
There was no way she wasn't there.
"Jingse meets the Imperial Concubine."
Jinghe bowed and said, "Long live the Imperial Noble Consort."
"Respect and peace do not require much ceremony."
With Li Siqi's identity, she is indeed qualified to call her by her name and title.
Jinghe was not angry.
With a faint smile on his face, “Jingse has met the Imperial Concubine since he was a child.
I didn’t expect that more than ten years have passed.
The little Jingse has grown up, and the Imperial Concubine is still as beautiful as ever.
Jingse is really envious. "
"Jinghe, you are just trying to make me happy."
Li Siqi smiled slightly and said, "I am already old, I won't always make jokes.
The wrinkles on my face are becoming more and more obvious."
