Chapter 960 Preference and Exceptions
Since we are doing a play, we have to do it in full.
The next day, Cheng Xi asked for leave from the palace, saying that he was ill. He also asked his servants to secretly go out to look for a famous doctor.
All of this fell into the eyes of the Crown Prince and Prince Yu and became indirect evidence of Cheng Xi's poisoning.
When considering the overall interests of the world, the most taboo is to be careless.
Unfortunately, the Qianqiu Festival, the time for family reunion, was approaching, and Cheng Xi was ill, so Shi Li, one of the only two people in charge of the palace, had to go to the palace to fulfill his filial duties on his behalf.
Cheng Xi was particularly worried. He stood beside Shi Li and kept nagging her while she was getting dressed.
"Be careful."
"Try to stay with the Queen Mother, otherwise stay with Shanzhu."
"Don't go to the garden no matter if the Crown Princess or other female relatives invite you to go. In case you encounter danger..."
[Emperor Ji is such a talkative person. I am really enlightened today^ ^]
【I never expected this series. 】
[This... is difficult to comment]
Looking at the Emperor Ji, who was known in history books as someone who could make the wind and rain call upon the wind and rain, Gong Ping expressed shock.
Shi Li was not shocked, but after being nagging for a long time, she had no idea what to do and wanted to let Cheng Xi take a break.
But when she turned around and looked at his worried look, she couldn't bear to say anything to him, so she could only sigh slowly.
Nodding seriously, "I remember everything you said."
All members of the royal family will attend today's palace banquet, except for the Crown Princess who is about to give birth.
Including Prince Yu and his wife, as well as Cheng Danzhu and Yan Yu.
Seeing Yan Yu always by Cheng Danzhu's side, with eyes full of her, Shi Li felt secretly relieved for her little best friend.
Before the wedding, Cheng Danzhu was the envy of the ladies in Man'an Ning. Now, after several months of marriage, the ladies and noble ladies in Man'an Ning envy her even more.
Yan Yu was young and promising. Given his status, no one would blame him even if he married a princess and took a concubine. However, Yan Yu only stayed with Cheng Danzhu and kept himself clean.
On Cheng Danzhu's birthday before, Yan Yu took great pains to find several North Sea silverfish just to make the beautiful lady smile.
Shi Li was thinking about these things when suddenly a person appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw Princess Yu looking at her with a look as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Thinking of some unofficial historical records he had read before, Shi Li raised his eyebrows secretly and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
Before going out, Shi Li deliberately put a thick layer of powder on her face and did not even put on lip balm, just to make people think she looked haggard.
It would be ridiculous for her as a wife to look so radiant when her husband is ill.
Princess Yu had been secretly looking at Shi Li. Seeing her expression like that, her brows furrowed a little, and she spoke carefully, "I heard that the king was loyal..."
"princess."
Prince Yu interrupted her, walked over and gave Shi Li a playful look, and said in an ambiguous voice, "So Princess Qin is here. I wonder when my good second brother will get better."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, Prince Yu did not hide his malice towards Shi Li at all.
Shi Li was too lazy to pay attention to this brainless person who stuck his head out. She just pretended to be hit and pursed her lips.
Princess Yu frowned, as if she couldn't bear to see her like this, but before she could say anything, she was taken away by Prince Yu.
Fortunately, there were not many stupid people like Prince Yu at the palace banquet. Even if they were fighting to the death in private, they appeared to be in harmony on the surface.
In front of the emperor and empress, the prince asked a few questions about Cheng Xi's condition with great concern.
Shi Li immediately used all her acting skills and forced out a few tears. Her choking voice made me feel even more pitiful.
Finally, even the emperor couldn't bear it anymore and ordered many precious medicinal materials to be bestowed.
After a lot of pretense, the Qianqiu Palace Banquet finally ended after more than an hour.
On the way out of the palace, Shi Li did not let down her guard, fearing that there might be spies from the prince's lineage around. She pretended to be absent-minded until she got on the carriage out of the palace.
But she never expected that there was already someone sitting in the carriage.
