Chapter 525: Suppression
Concubine Li had never lost weight before, and she didn't know that losing weight was so difficult.
She couldn't stand it the first day.
That night, Concubine Li lies on the bed toss and turns, unable to sleep.
She was so hungry.
My stomach reminded her all the time that she was so hungry and wanted to eat.
In the end, she couldn't help it, so she got up quietly and took out a small and exquisite copper-skin box from the deepest part of the wardrobe, with some pine nut candy in it.
These pine nut candies were hidden here before, and only she knew about them, but no one else knew about them.
This is her only food she has stored now.
Concubine Li picked up a pine nut candy and put it in her mouth.
Feeling the long-lost sweetness, she was so moved that tears fell.
In the past, she didn’t think it was so happy to taste delicious food. It was not until after she lost it that she deeply realized how valuable it was to be able to eat and drink with all her heart!
She cried quietly while stuffing pine nut candy into her mouth.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Empress, why are you getting up?"
Sumei walked in at some point, and she was holding a candlestick in her hand.
With the dim candlelight, she saw Concubine Li standing next to the wardrobe, not knowing what she was holding.
Concubine Li was startled and hurriedly hid the box in her arms.
"I, I can't sleep, get up and walk."
Sumei looked at the open wardrobe door, then looked at Concubine Li, who looked guilty and looked guilty, and asked tentatively.
"Empress, did you hide something to eat? Are you stealing it just now?"
Concubine Li quickly denied: "No!"
Because she was so excited, she accidentally swallowed the pine nut candy she was in her mouth.
Such a large pine nut candy is stuck in the throat, neither up nor down.
Concubine Li felt that she was almost suffocating.
She kept rolling her eyes and slapped her chest hard.
The copper-skinned box that was originally in his arms fell to the ground, and the pine nut candy contained inside rolled out.
Seeing this, Sumei immediately understood everything.
She quickly brought tea and poured it into Concubine Li.
The tea pressed down the pine nut sugar.
Concubine Li's breathing finally returned to normal.
She held the wardrobe and gasped heavily, still feeling a little shocked.
Sumei felt relieved when she saw that she was fine.
"Empress, you should pay attention to your diet now and not eat sugar."
Sumei said as she bent down to pick up the pine nut candy on the ground.
Seeing that his only food stored was about to be confiscated, Concubine Li could not bear it anymore. She rushed up and grabbed the pine nut candy and said loudly.
"I don't care, I'll eat it!"
Sumei advised: "Did you forget how fat you are now? If you let yourself eat, you will be getting fatter and fatter. How can you serve in the future? How can you get the prince's favor?"
Concubine Li gave in and said, "Even if I lose weight, the prince will not spoil me! Look at how good I had before, the prince didn't even look at me, so why would I have to be wronged to lose weight for him?!"
Sumei was speechless.
Concubine Li said angrily: "Anyway, no matter whether I am fat or thin, the prince will not care. Then I might as well let myself go and let myself feel good first!"
Sumei said helplessly: "Don't say such angry words."
"Isn't what I said true? The prince only has Concubine Xiao in his heart, and other women can't even get into his eyes. Don't say that I lost weight for him today, even if I starved to death in the Golden Wind Palace today, he would definitely not shed a tear for me!"
The more Princess Li talked, the more sad she became, and couldn't help crying again.
"Wuwuwu, they are all women, why did I lose to Concubine Xiao everywhere? Not only can she be favored by the prince, but she can also not eat fat. Why can't I do it? I also want a figure that can't eat fat!"
Sumei couldn't help but feel sad. Who doesn't want a figure that won't be fat?
Concubine Li wiped her tears and made up her mind to say.
"I won't lose weight anymore! Sumei, go and make me some midnight snacks, I want to eat!"
Sumei was still a little hesitant: "Do you really not think about it anymore? Maybe you will have a chance to be favored by the prince in the future?"
Concubine Li: "Let's talk about what happened in the future. Anyway, I want to eat now! Go and have a midnight snack quickly!"
Sumei had no choice but to do as she said.
Concubine Li’s weight loss plan was over before she could last for a day.
...
As the Empress Dowager's birthday was about to come, Empress Qin was still praying for blessings in Shengguang Temple.
The emperor had no intention of calling the queen back. He handed over the birthday party to Concubine Hui, Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning, and the three Concubines were jointly handled.
The emperor's actions were not only slapping Queen Qin in the face, but also reducing the power in the Queen's hands.
Concubine Hui, Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning became tools used by the emperor to check and balance the empress.
The three concubines didn't mind being used, and they were even happy to be used because this was a great opportunity for them.
In the past, Empress Qin relied on the support of the Qin family and said the same thing in the harem, and no one of the concubines dared to disobey her intentions.
But now that Qin Lie is dead, the Qin family is hit hard, and the emperor shows that the queen is displeased. Queen Qin is like a tiger with teeth pulled out and no longer has the capital to be arrogant.
Concubine Hui, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Ning naturally want to seize the opportunity to revenge, to take revenge, and to suppress the queen's power to death!
In the name of holding a birthday party, the three concubines broke up all the people left by the queen in the palace and distributed them everywhere, and then quietly abolished all those people.
The situation in the harem is undergoing tremendous changes now.
Today, Xiao Xixi received an invitation, which was sent by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian invited her to enjoy the flowers and discuss the birthday party of the Empress Dowager.
Xiao Xixi was surprised: "What does the Empress Dowager's birthday party have to do with me?"
If she was the Crown Princess, it would be reasonable to discuss this with her, but she is just a prince's concubine now. How could the Queen Mother's birthday party be her turn to intervene?
She thought the invitation of Concubine Xian was really inexplicable.
Baoqin said: "I have asked someone to inquire. Not only did you receive invitations from Concubine Xian, but Concubine Jing, Concubine Li, and Concubine Bai have also received invitations. It seems that Concubine Xian is planning to invite all four of you to discuss the birthday party of the Queen Mother."
When the prince came to the evening, Xiao Xixi showed him the invitation.
"Do you think I should go?"
Luo Qinghan asked back without answering: "Do you want to go?"
Xiao Xixi immediately shook her head: "I don't want to."
“Why?”
"I'm not interested in watching flowers."
Luo Qinghan smiled as if he was smiling: "Would you be interested if Concubine Xian invites you to the mat?"
Xiao Xixi covered her face: "Oh, what are you talking nonsense about the truth!"
Luo Qinghan casually threw the invitation aside and took her into her arms.
