Seeing the reproachful look on her prince's face, the imperial concubine was exhausted mentally and physically. In just a few days, her face showed a hint of fatigue.

Since the queen was demoted to the cold palace, the imperial concubine has been the highest-ranking concubine in the harem. Even when the queen was still there, she had a more sacred heart than the queen. Which concubine cannot respect her.

Now, Li Jieyu has become a thorn in the side. I don’t know whether it’s because she has a weak brain or because she is born with a domineering personality. She is obviously just the daughter of a minor official from out of town, but now she has been favored by chance, and she actually dares to do whatever she wants.

Go against her.

But the emperor liked her like this and praised her for being genuine and not pretentious.

With the emperor's attitude, Li Jieyu even walked sideways in the harem.

From time to time, she would catch the emperor and act coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I saw today that the ruby ​​​​hairpin on the imperial concubine's head is so beautiful. It makes the imperial concubine even more beautiful. I really envy the imperial concubine for being so favored by the emperor.

"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, my concubine is fine. It's just that she hasn't seen the Emperor for half a day, and that's why she's so lovesick."

"Your Majesty, I have never eaten such good blood bird's nest. Your Majesty treats me so well, I feel uneasy."

...

Li Jieyu just said a few words, and a whole batch of blood bird's nests were sent to Li Jieyu's palace.

Although the blood bird's nest is produced in small quantities and nourishes people, the imperial concubine has seen too many of these good things, so naturally she won't feel aggrieved because of them.

But she heard people in the palace talking privately: "I have never seen the emperor be so careful and considerate. Even the imperial concubine, she did not receive the treatment that Li Jieyu received. Last time, Li Jieyu only had a dry throat and coughed twice.

She said she was a little weak, so the blood bird's nest was delivered that afternoon."

"Blood bird's nest nourishes yin, nourishes the skin, relieves cough and asthma, it is indeed a good thing."

"Tsk, what do you know? Let alone the blood bird's nest, what do those delicacies and rare treasures represent? High-ranking empresses have more or less received such rewards. The most important thing is the emperor's heart!"

"Speaking of it this way, the Imperial Concubine had a bad cough after the rain a while ago, and the Emperor was not moved. It seems that Li Jieyu actually has the Sacred Heart more than the Imperial Concubine!"

When the imperial concubine heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and was so angry that she burst into anger.

Mammy stood up quickly and dealt with these maids who secretly chewed their tongues with a cold face: "They are all full of excrement, send them to the clean room to carry the chamber pot!"

Although no one dared to discuss it anymore, at the same time, the imperial concubine really felt a dull pain in her heart.

The emperor has always devoted most of his attention to the handling of government affairs. As the emperor's woman, she is considerate, has a measure of progress and retreat, and rarely makes the emperor lose his temper.

But with Li Jieyu, she realized that besides reviewing memorials, the emperor could also take time to accompany Li Jieyu to stroll in the imperial garden. If Li Jieyu felt uncomfortable, he would also notice that Li Jieyu was acting coquettishly and well-behaved.

, even if he gets angry and loses his temper, the emperor will patiently calm him down.

These are things she can't do.

If she showed that she was unhappy, the emperor would just frown and say that she was always sensible and would not make trouble, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send something casually.

So, is this how the emperor truly loves a woman?

The imperial concubine felt deep unwillingness in her heart.

The nun on the side persuaded: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is just a novelty. The favored women in the harem change one after another. As long as your favor lasts, let that little bitch be proud for a few days. From now on,

The emperor is annoyed, she is the one to cry."

The imperial concubine snorted coldly: "I just can't bear to see how she behaves like a villain. How dare you compare yourself to me?"

Mammy squeezed the concubine's shoulders: "As His Highness the Sixth Prince said, your Majesty, don't let these kittens and puppies disturb your mind now. The biggest trouble today has not been solved yet."

These words have a certain meaning, they are talking about Prince Li.

"That's right. When my son conquers this world, I will be the Queen Mother. How to deal with Jie Yu Zhaoyi's affairs will all depend on my mood!" the imperial concubine said in a low voice, with hatred flashing in her eyes.

In this way, no matter how provocative Li Jieyu was next, the imperial concubine maintained her dignified and generous appearance: "Your Majesty, sister Li Jieyu is young and has a more charming personality. She occasionally loses her etiquette. It's not harmful. It's my fault.

No warning in advance.”

The emperor was also very satisfied with the imperial concubine's words: "Did you hear that? See how polite the imperial concubine is. I will learn more from the imperial concubine in the future."

Li Jieyu leaned against the emperor weakly and stuck out her tongue: "The imperial concubine has always been cautious in her words and deeds. She follows the rules and will never make mistakes. She has always been a role model in my heart. On the other hand, I am always careless and careless.

Thanks to the noble concubine for not caring about it, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Saying that, he was about to bow down.

But the emperor stopped her: "Okay, that's all you know. Let's go. I'm not saying that I want to eat Jiangnan's dishes. The people below have gone to find a few cooks to enter the palace. They should have been prepared and sent to your palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are so kind~" Li Jieyu smiled wildly: "I will ask the palace maid to bring some dishes over later, so that my sister, the imperial concubine, can have a try."

"It's hard for my sister to have such a heart. It's just that I got tired of eating it when I was at my mother's house. I'd better leave it to the emperor and my sister to enjoy."

The imperial concubine maintained a decent smile, but the sharp armor almost pierced the palm of her hand.

She stared intently at Li Jieyu's back as she left, telling herself that she must endure it and make her look good in a few days!

In the expectation of the imperial concubine, and in the expectation of many students, autumn is finally ushered in.

There are three Qiuwei exams, each lasting three days and nights. However, because there are two changes of venues in between, it is actually nine days and seven nights. Candidates will be locked after entering the dormitory. During this period, they will take eight-part essays, practical essays, and people's livelihood policy questions.

, so for candidates, this is a double test of mental and physical strength.

The imperial court has always attached great importance to this, and all examination rooms have been strictly guarded to ensure that all examinations can proceed smoothly.

Before the exam, Gu Shaoheng made a special trip to Prince Li's Mansion to meet with Si Moli and thank him for his support for his family, which allowed his mother to treat her illness and allowed him to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

Si Moli did not reveal that the person helping him behind the scenes was actually Ji Qianxue. He just encouraged him to calm down and perform normally, and prepared some dry food for him.

Gu Shaoheng thanked him repeatedly before leaving the palace and entering the examination room. He was not pretentious about the things Si Moli prepared to give him. He knew that only by getting good grades in the examination could he truly repay the prince.

While everyone was paying attention to Qiu Wei, another big event happened in the palace.
