Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

After He's advice, Hua Manman decides to make a new set of clothes for King Zhao.

She took a measuring tape and prepared to measure King Zhao's body.

When Li Ji learned that she was going to make clothes again, he couldn't help thinking of her cloak that died before she was born.

He smiled and said no.

"Thank you, I have enough clothes, you don't have to make any more for me."

The magical experience of turning a cloak into a purse, once is enough.

Hua Manman's eyes showed sorrow: "Do you look down on my concubine? Do you think my workmanship is too poor?"

Li Ji thought in his heart that as far as your little craftsmanship is concerned, saying it is an insult to craftsmanship.

Fortunately, he still retained the last bit of humanity, he did not say what was in his heart, but said it tactfully.

"I want a new purse more than clothes."

Hua Manman: "Didn't my concubine make you a purse before?"

Li Ji replied calmly: "I can't wear the same purse every day, can I? I need a new one."

Hua Manman thought about it too, she asked enthusiastically.

"Do you have any requirements for the purse?"

Li Ji said without hesitation.

"Not green."

Hua Manman blinked: "Don't you like green?"

Li Ji stared at her expressionlessly.

Hua Manman: "Okay, I understand, if you don't want green, don't want green, it's all up to you."

With the experience of making a purse last time, Hua Manman made a bright red purse without any guidance this time.

In order to show that her craftsmanship has improved, she also specially embroidered a pattern on the surface of the purse.

He ordered people to send the two sets of new clothes to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

One set of silvery red and one set of light pink, both are colors that match the skin tone very well. They are very suitable for Chinese New Year, and they look very festive.

After confirming that the size of the clothes is appropriate and not to modify them, Hua Manman ordered someone to put away the two new sets of clothes, planning to save them for the Chinese New Year.

In an unremarkable courtyard outside the city.

Li Ying was under the plum tree with her hands behind her back.

In front of him, a plum blossom was quietly blooming, the pale pink petals were covered with white snow,

Liang Yong walked over quickly and saluted respectfully.

"Your Highness, Lin Qingzhi has already explained that she has no ability to predict the future at all. In fact, she was able to know what will happen in the future because she died once and was reborn."

Such a thing as being reborn is so unimaginable that Liang Yong is still somewhat skeptical until now.

Li Ying did not intend to question it.

His reaction was exceptionally calm: "What else did she say?"

Liang Yong confessed truthfully.

"She said that there will be accidents during the repair of the Taimiao this year."

...

Under Li Ying's arrangement, the fifth prince Li Yan "coincidentally" learned that his father would entrust the repair of the Taimiao to King Zhao.

Li Yan was very upset in his heart, he ran to complain to his mother and concubine.

"Obviously I am my father's own son, why is my father always partial to King Zhao? Even such an important matter as repairing the Taimiao is entrusted to him."

Concubine Liu Gui was also very upset.

First, the eunuch under her command was beaten to death by the emperor's order, and then the emperor did not come to her Lingxue Palace for more than half a month, apparently deliberately ignoring her, and the Ruyi Building under her brother's name was also killed by King Zhao. Smashed it.

These things piled up one after another in her heart, making her very restless.

At this time, hearing the complaints from her precious son, Concubine Liu Gui became more and more disturbed.

She couldn't help blurting out.

"King Zhao is the bastard he had with other women, so he naturally feels very distressed."

Li Yan opened his eyes wide, unbelievable: "You mean, King Zhao is also the child of Emperor Father?"

Concubine Liu Gui regretted it as soon as she said it.

She shouldn't have let her son know these things. Based on what she knew about her son, he might not be able to keep this secret.

In case he ran out and talked nonsense and annoyed the emperor, he would be the one who suffered in the end.

Concubine Liu Gui pressed his shoulders and exhorted him solemnly.

"Forget what I just said, you just pretend you didn't hear anything."

Li Yan nodded blankly.

After a while, he still couldn't help asking.

"is that true?"

Concubine Liu Gui rubbed her forehead wearily: "This is not something you should know, don't ask."

Li Yan still didn't give up: "I'm just asking, I promise I won't say anything."

Concubine Liu Gui was worried that her son would go out and ask other people in order to get the answer. Instead of letting him ask others, it is better for her to explain the matter clearly.

"It's true. King Zhao is indeed the child of Princess Rouwan and the sage. I am not the only one who knows about this. The Queen Mother, Empress, and Princess Ningyang all know about it."

While Li Yan was stunned, he also had the feeling that this was really the case.

No wonder the father favored King Zhao so much, it turned out that they were related by blood.

Li Yan: "Does Lord Zhen know about this?"

Concubine Liu Gui didn't answer.

In fact, she didn't know the answer to this matter.

If Zhen Guogong really knew that Li Ji was not his own son, would he still devote himself to the emperor so wholeheartedly?

Li Yan put himself in the position of Duke Zhen. If he encountered such a thing, he would rise up in all likelihood.

No man in this world can bear to wear a green hat on his head.

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, Duke Zhen is dead.

If he is still alive, I am afraid that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will be turned upside down.

Li Ji: "Where is King Zhao? Does he know his true life experience?"

Concubine Liu Gui still shook her head.

"I don't know."

It stands to reason that King Zhao should not know about it, but he has always acted erratically and erratically, it is difficult for outsiders to guess what he is thinking, maybe he has known the truth for a long time.

Li Yan tugged on his sleeve, looking a little restless.

"Father is so partial to King Zhao, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to him, what if father wants to appoint him as the crown prince?"

Concubine Liu Gui calmly analyzed.

"Probably not... at least not in a short time.

If King Zhao is to be registered as the crown prince, his name must be entered in the royal family tree.

This means that his life experience will be exposed.

The emperor had an affair with the wife of an important minister...

If this kind of thing gets out, it will lose all the face of the Tian family.

The saint shouldn't be so overwhelmed. "

Hearing this, Li Yan felt a little relieved.

He let go of his wrinkled sleeves and walked a few steps back and forth in the room.

Repairing the Taimiao seems insignificant, but it is actually very important, because it represents the emperor's value.

Now that the position of the prince is vacant, some ministers in the court have already stood in line, and some are still waiting and watching.

If Li Yan can gain the emperor's attention, he can win those courtiers who are still on the sidelines into his camp.

This is a great help for him.

He doesn't want to miss it, and he can't miss it!

Concubine Liu Gui naturally knew this too, but as a concubine in the harem, it was not easy for her to directly intervene in the affairs of the court.

Besides, she has been neglected by the emperor recently, even if she wants to blow the pillow wind, she has no chance.

She could only say: "You have to ask your uncle to help you figure out a solution to this matter."
