famous eldest daughter

Chapter 834
The words "Lao Ben Huai Zhu" were bitten hard by her. As she spoke, her eyebrows turned and her eyebrows moved, revealing a sarcastic meaning.

She was secretly annoyed, if she had known that the emperor was not here, why would she take such valuable things to benefit Concubine Hui.

But now that the matter has come to this, I can only endure the pain in my body and say with a caring look on my face, "I would like to express my sincere congratulations to my sister on her pregnancy."

With a wave of her hand, the maid behind her presented the gifts she had prepared.

Concubine Hui glanced away. She saw a pigeon blood ruby ​​the size of an egg. It was uncarved and was a real masterpiece. It was a piece of ice-cold silk. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was the most suitable material for making underwear. It was precious and rare. The other one was It is a purple sand inkstone. Although it is not as precious as the previous two, it is still a top-quality treasure.

Dressed up so brightly, with new clothes and new steps, she has never had much friendship, but she is so generous with her. Of course Concubine Hui knows what Concubine Li's original intention was in giving such a gift.

With a curved smile, she signaled the palace maid to accept Concubine Li's gift. Concubine Hui leaned on the soft pillow behind her and said: "It's a pity, Your Majesty, take a step first, otherwise it will be a lot more difficult to see my sister being so interested in me." Look at my sister a few times."

Concubine Li bit her lip immediately when her mind was pierced so bluntly, with a few strands of hatred bursting out from her eyes, "With my sister here, how can Your Majesty have the heart to look at me?"

Concubine Hui answered the question unceremoniously and replied faintly, "That's quite the truth."

Li Fei suddenly... held her breath in her chest, which was so painful.

Concubine Hui immediately said: "Why is your face so ugly all of a sudden? Could it be that you can't see His Majesty, but you still want to give me such an expensive gift? My sister is reluctant? If it is really distressing, just take it back, so as not to worry about it Give me a gift, if my sister has any troubles, she has been infertile for many years, and if she has troubles, it will be even more difficult to conceive."

In response to Concubine Li's sarcasm of "an old clam carrying pearls", Concubine Hui spoke softly and fiddled with the emerald-colored jade bracelet on her wrist, like the gentle breeze blowing in the spring breeze.

Concubine Li saw that the emperor was not here, and thought that a pregnant person was most afraid of getting angry, so she deliberately made sarcastic remarks. She just wanted to add some trouble to Concubine Hui. It would be best if she could move the fetus. Even if she couldn't move, she could She was angry for herself, but she didn't think so. Concubine Hui spoke to her without any regard for her feelings.

This tone of voice that suppresses internal hurt is exactly the same as Xiao Yu's usual speech. It makes people speechless but hurts their internal organs.

Concubine Hui dared to speak so unscrupulously about her, but she couldn't be too blatant. After all, on the one hand, Concubine Hui was favored, and on the other hand, because of her identity, a disobedient and disrespectful person was enough to ground her. .

Taking a deep breath, Li Fei squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly and forced out a smile, "Sister, I think this thing is valuable. In my eyes, it's just ordinary. If I like it, I still have it there. Do you want it?" ?”

The shabby state of Yongninghou's residence was well-known throughout the court. Who didn't know that Concubine Hui's natal family was in dire straits.

After picking this topic, Concubine Li finally felt a little more comfortable. Liu Ye's thin eyebrows moved slightly, with a smile, and she looked towards Concubine Hui, with gloating anticipation in her eyes.

Concubine Hui said "hmm" at the end of her words, "I haven't had much contact with you before, but I didn't know that you are such a generous person. Since you said so, I naturally can't brush you off." , As soon as you return to the palace, I will send someone to go with you. If you see something good and are willing to give it to me, I will give it to you."

Concubine Li...

It is said that a man is poor but has a short ambition and is shameless...that's what it means!

Was it because her sarcastic remarks just now were not clear enough or something, how could Concubine Hui say such a thing!
Just after she breathed out, Concubine Li felt a mouthful of old blood gushing out, and she felt a little dizzy... Talking to Concubine Hui... She really wasn't fully prepared.

Concubine Hui's eyes flashed with a sneer, "Why didn't my sister say anything? Could it be that when she said she wanted to give me something more, she didn't mean it, but was deliberately mocking my parents' poor family background?"

Once again, Li Fei pointed out the dirty little thoughts in Li Fei's heart. Li Fei couldn't keep it off her face and just said with a smile: "Sister is too worried. How could I have such intention? The Yongning Marquis Mansion is the imperial seal of the late emperor's gold pen. "

"It's good that my sister knows. Even if the late Emperor's palace with the imperial title of Jinbi is so poor that there is only one tile left, you can't help others making irresponsible remarks. They are talking about the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and it is the late Emperor who is being damaged."

Taking advantage, she did not forget to beat it. After saying that, Concubine Hui turned her hand and picked up the milk in front of her, then brought it to her mouth. She paused for a moment, then turned to the maid beside her and said quietly: "This one is cold, bring another one." It’s hot, and after talking for a long time, my mouth is really dry.”

The palace maid received the order and executed it immediately. In the blink of an eye, a cup of steaming milk was delivered to Concubine Hui, but she didn't even look at the empty table in front of Concubine Li without even a cup.

Li Fei gritted her teeth with hatred, anger boiling in her heart. Her tone was not as soft as she had tried to control before. It was a bit harsh, and seemed to be a demonstration and provocation. It’s too presumptuous to belittle oneself, with a world-renowned concubine like my sister here, no matter how good the Yongning Marquis Mansion is, it won’t be just a tile!”

Trying her best to regain the situation, Concubine Li looked at Concubine Hui unwillingly.

In the first few years, she had harmed Concubine Hui many times because she took refuge with the queen. Later, Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and rose to power. From the day she came to the throne to now, she has been suppressing her to death. Concubine Li has always had a problem in her heart. Full of bad temper.

After Concubine Li finished speaking, Concubine Hui raised her eyes and smiled, "It's just a joke. Sister, don't take it seriously. No matter how favored I am, I can't move the treasury of His Majesty and the imperial court to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, right! Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is different. Well, my sister is very wealthy, so naturally she doesn’t understand our difficulties."

As soon as Concubine Hui said this, Concubine Li turned pale.

In the Marquis of Weiyuan, Concubine Li's grandfather and great-grandfather were both merchants, because the business was really big, and the family was full of gold and silver. One year, when the court encountered a catastrophic disaster, the relief silver donated by her grandfather, More than what the imperial court issued.

After solving the urgent need of the late emperor, the late emperor naturally felt grateful and exempted Li Fei's father from his business registration and allowed him to pass the scientific examination.

Li Fei's father also strived to win the top three positions in the Golden Palace in one fell swoop. However, although he was a good student in his studies, his subsequent official career was mediocre. The emperor entrusted him with important tasks several times, but he only completed the job infrequently and did not achieve anything outstanding. at.

However, whenever the court was in trouble, his family was always able to help. No matter it was famine or war, they could always provide a lot of money. For this reason alone, the emperor could not treat his family lightly. Not only did he seal Weiyuan Hou with his imperial pen, The palace even chose Concubine Li to enter the palace.

As soon as Concubine Li entered the palace, she had the status of a noble person, which showed that the emperor valued her.

Only later, due to many incidents, she gradually fell out of favor.

Not to mention her future life in the palace, simply being a merchant in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion has always been a scar that cannot be healed in Concubine Li's heart.

Even though the surface of the scar had scabbed and hardened, as if it was about to heal and fall off, underneath, it was oozing pus and growing maggots.

Now Concubine Hui was carelessly fidgeting with the silk handkerchief in her hand and bringing up the matter lightly. How could Concubine Li not be filled with resentment?
