After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 206 Is this not so good?

Although Eunuch Yang had roughly understood Queen Li's intention to do this, he did not dare to say anything casually at this moment.

This Li Shangshu's Mansion is Empress Li's natal family after all, and this matter is also related to the fifth prince, so it is better for the emperor to figure it out on his own.

Eunuch Yang didn't dare to get involved casually, so naturally he couldn't speak casually.

Seeing that Eunuch Yang didn't speak, the emperor didn't care. After looking at him, he waved his hand casually and asked Eunuch Yang to send the list back to Queen Li.

"Send the list back to the queen. Well, you go tell the queen, just talk about Lao Wu's marriage. Don't be too hasty for now, just take your time and choose!"

Eunuch Yang was stunned and said yes.

Because of these words, Eunuch Yang personally sent the list back to Fengzhao Palace. After meeting Queen Li, he also conveyed the emperor's words with a smile.

After hearing the emperor's words, Empress Li couldn't help but frown, and after a while she responded: "I know, thank you very much, Eunuch Yang!".

Eunuch Yang hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't dare." Then he said that he had other things to do, so he left first.

Empress Li asked Shui Xiu to see Eunuch Yang off. After sending Eunuch Yang off, she asked Shui Xiu, who had come back again, "Shui Xiu, tell me, what did the emperor mean when he asked Eunuch Yang to pass on this message?"

How could Shuixiu figure out what the emperor meant?Then he shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand, either."

Queen Li looked at the list in her hand, also confused.

Originally, the emperor called someone to get the list, and Empress Li thought that the emperor was planning to appoint a princess for the fifth prince. But in the end, the emperor read the list and said that there was no rush...

Could it be that the emperor is dissatisfied with the people on this list?

Queen Li thought about it, then flipped through the list.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with this list. All those listed in it were girls of the right age and from suitable family backgrounds.

There are many talented and beautiful people among them.

If the emperor is not satisfied with the list of noble ladies here, then Empress Li doesn't know who else is suitable for the position of the fifth prince's concubine.

Seeing that Empress Li was deep in thought and silent, Shui Xiu asked, "Your Majesty, should we slow down this matter temporarily?"

After all, the emperor gave a verbal order to do it slowly.

Empress Li pondered for a while: "The fifth child is not young anymore. When the eldest brother was this age, didn't Concubine Wu De think about it in private?"

Since the emperor didn't agree, she couldn't do anything in a big way publicly, but she could still look at each other privately.

Shui Xiu understood the meaning of Queen Li's words and was a little worried: "Mother, is this not good?".

Empress Li glanced sideways at her, and then said calmly: "I didn't say that I wanted to summon the five princes and concubines for the purpose of choosing their first concubine. What's wrong with that?".

She is the Queen of the Central Palace. She occasionally summons the wives of the officials in the palace. Is there anything else she can't do?
That being said, Queen Li summoned those people at this time, even though she didn't use this excuse, the purpose was clear at a glance!

In the eyes of the emperor, doesn't Queen Li's behavior mean that she has violated the emperor's wishes?
Shui Xiu thought about it in his mind and wanted to persuade her again, but Queen Li obviously made up her mind.

Shui Xiu tried a few words of advice, but it had no effect, so he had no choice but to stop.

Therefore, in the next few days, Queen Li continued her activities as usual.

The emperor naturally knew what Empress Li would do next. He listened with an expressionless face and said nothing more.

But when Eunuch Yang looked at the emperor's appearance, he knew that the emperor would be angry.You talk about the Queen and the Queen, it is clear that the Emperor has given a verbal order, saying that the matter of choosing a concubine for the Fifth Prince will be slowed down for the time being.

Eunuch Yang clearly remembered that he had passed the message to Queen Li.

But in the end, Queen Li knew it and summoned the ministers, wives and ladies as usual.

Doesn't this make it clear that you are going against the emperor?

Eunuch Yang sighed inwardly and secretly expressed that he really didn't understand what Queen Li was doing for this purpose.

Eunuch Yang couldn't understand, but the emperor somewhat understood.

With Empress Li's temper, she wanted to take everything into her own hands and was unwilling to relax at all.

In the past, it was the palace power, and then it was the second child. After the second child disappeared, now it is the fifth child.

The emperor thought to himself that between the fifth prince's temper and Queen Li's mother and son, maybe...

Seeing that the emperor didn't move for a long time, Eunuch Yang called softly: "Your Majesty?".

Regarding Empress Li's affairs...should we do anything?

The emperor turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Yang, and said calmly: "If she wants to see him, just ask her to see him!".

After all, she is still a queen. Even though he is the emperor, he cannot directly issue an order. The queen is not allowed to see the family members of the ministers in the court, right?

If this decree is really made, there is no guarantee that there will be any speculation or turmoil in the court.

The emperor didn't like the influence of the previous dynasty because of trivial matters in the harem.

Eunuch Yang looked at the emperor silently, and then said yes.

Although the emperor did not send anyone to Fengzhao Palace, within two days, the emperor sent the fifth prince out.

The reason is also very normal, that is, the fifth prince is asked to go out on inspection instead of the emperor.

After Queen Li got the news, she was silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Queen Li asked Shui Xiu beside her: "You said that the emperor sent Lao Wu out at this time, for what purpose?".

Shui Xiu was stunned and replied inexplicably: "Didn't you say that His Highness, the Fifth Prince, went out this time to patrol on behalf of the Emperor?"

That being said, at this point in time when the emperor sent the fifth prince out, Empress Li couldn't help but not think too much about it.

With this in mind, Empress Li asked: "Is it that the emperor is dissatisfied with my recent actions, so he deliberately wants to kill Lao Wu?"

Shui Xiu remained silent and didn't speak.

I really want to ask, since Queen, you know that you have taken too many actions recently, which will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, why do you still do this?
Sometimes Shui Xiu felt helpless, feeling that Empress Li's temper was too tough. If Empress Li could soften up to the emperor, Fengzhao Palace would not be like what it is now, right?
Of course, I thought so, but Shui Xiu didn't dare to say these words.

At this moment, Shui Xiu had to persuade Queen Li: "Why do you think so? Your Majesty sent His Highness the Fifth Prince out for serious business? Besides...".

Shuixiu paused as he spoke, and after looking at Queen Li, he continued: "Furthermore, the emperor sent the eldest prince out a few times before, but the eldest prince has done a lot of work. Our fifth highness can have the opportunity to go out. , and only then can we make contributions!"

Although the fifth prince is the direct descendant of the middle palace, but now that the prince has not been established, the eldest prince is too popular, which is not a good thing for the fifth prince!
