This prince belongs to me

Chapter 929 Concubine Li 2
968
Concubine Li stepped on the stone steps, holding the hem of her skirt, and holding Ying'er's hand, and came to the Lake Watching Pavilion step by step. The warm wind of March spring came to her face immediately with the fragrance of flowers.

The stone table in the pavilion was covered with a brocade tablecloth, and on it was a plate of fruit, a pot of hot tea, and an exquisitely crafted small animal copper stove, with wisps of smoke coming out of the port.

Concubine Li fanned it with a handkerchief and smelled it, her eyes showed appreciation immediately.

"This spice is really good, it should be... a tribute from the Western Regions!"

"Your Majesty is so discerning, you can smell it all!" Ying'er flattered nonchalantly at the side.

"Hmph! Of course, your mother and I are also the first lady from Shangshufu. In this palace, how many people have higher vision than me!" Concubine Li said proudly.

"That's natural!"

Li Fei sat down on the stool already covered with goose down cushions.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy here, you should put on some clothes to avoid catching cold!" Ying'er served her very considerately.

Concubine Li couldn't help sighing: "In this palace, besides you, who else cares about my life!"

As she spoke, Li Fei's eyes turned red, and Ying'er hurriedly handed the cup of hot tea to Li Fei's hand, and said hastily.

"Your Majesty, don't say that. Whether you are doing well in the palace, the masters and wives in the mansion are very concerned about it. Besides, the emperor treats all the empresses in the palace the same. Ah!" Yinger persuaded.

"Then what would be considered a loss?" Concubine Li burst into tears.

In order not to let the tears fall, she raised her head and looked at the lake in the distance.

"Your Majesty! You can't think like this. In the past dynasties, countless women in this palace have died fighting for favor, but when you come to Your Majesty, there is no need for everyone to fight. At the very least, we have rich clothes and fine food, no worries about food and drink, and a comfortable life. You are safe and sound!"

"Master and Madam know it, and they must be comforted a lot!"

For Ying'er, such days are not known how much better.

She had heard about all the ups and downs in the past, she didn't want to die in the palace, and living well was already her greatest wish.

"Forget it! Forget it!" Concubine Li wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Ying'er, you are also doing it for my own good, let's not talk about this anymore!"

In order to win the favor, she tried all kinds of tricks, but it didn't work except to make the emperor hate her even more, so... let's just do it.

In the distance, a gust of wind blew, and the petals of the flowers and trees on the bank fell into the water one by one.

She suddenly felt that she was just like those failed flowers, her youth had disappeared and she could only drift with the tide.

"Ying'er, am I old?"

"Your Majesty, you can't think like that, you're only 20 years old, and you're in your prime!"

"Hmph! In the prime of life!" Concubine Li smiled sarcastically.

It doesn't matter, even if the beauty is fleeting, so what, there are so many women in the palace with her, she is not afraid, she must live a good life, let's see if Ling Qianying really won't grow old.

When she is old, will the emperor still like her?

No man would like an old woman with wrinkles all over her face. I don't know how the empress looks like when she fell from a height.

Concubine Li was staring at the lake water in the distance, thinking of her own small calculations in her heart.

Suddenly, an angry shout came from the steps at the entrance.

"Who is so bold, dare to occupy our empress's pavilion!"
