Chapter 1530: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
The seemingly luxurious and beautiful palace is actually a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
Once a person has tasted power, even the purest and kindest heart will be distorted to a degree that others cannot understand.
During the Changning period of the Yu Dynasty, there were also many intrigues amidst the prosperity.
The imperial concubine, who was born into a fishing family, was favored by the emperor after entering the palace. She also gave birth to a son who looked very much like His Majesty. She was extremely popular and became more and more covetous of things that did not belong to her.
The Queen died early, and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and Your Majesty are father and son, but more importantly, they are monarch and subject.
The Imperial Concubine framed the Prince several times, causing His Majesty to become disgusted with him and almost depose him. If the Crown Princess had not pleaded for him in the rain and gave birth to her only daughter to be sent to Western Regions as a hostage, the Prince would probably still be under house arrest in the Eastern Palace.
Being soft-hearted is the most unacceptable thing in the royal family. This incident also made the prince realize that the relationship between him and the imperial concubine had reached a point where they would fight to the death.
The Crown Princess's mother's family is powerful, and she is a virtuous wife to the Crown Prince. She appears to be aloof and ignorant of worldly matters to the outside world, but she secretly discovers evidence that the Imperial Concubine has bribed court officials, and thus helps the Crown Prince a lot.
The prince's family remained calm in the court, successfully making His Majesty angry with the imperial concubine and temporarily confining her to the harem.
But this is not the end, it's just the beginning.
It had been raining for several days. The prince was walking back to the East Palace after court. He met the princess waiting outside the door with an umbrella. She went up to him and held the umbrella for him personally, pretending to be deeply in love with her husband in front of others.
They just whispered to each other, and only they knew what they were saying.
"We haven't been able to send anyone to Xifan yet. We have to wait a little longer."
"Lili understands everything. She can take care of herself."
"Just bear with it, it will be over soon."
In addition to the Crown Princess, there are two Crown Princesses in the Eastern Palace. They were the grace of His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine. To put it bluntly, they are the eyes and ears planted in the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had been supporting each other well, and from time to time they would pass on some false news. However, it was impossible for the Crown Prince to get close to these two people.
Originally there was only a little princess born to the Crown Princess in the entire Eastern Palace, but now there is not a single child at all. It is terribly cold and lonely.
The Imperial Concubine's faction would naturally not give up after being suppressed like this. They knew from somewhere that the Crown Princess was interfering this time, so they wanted to cut off the source of the problem and secretly sent assassins to Xifan to wipe out the little princess.
The undercurrents in Changning could not be heard by Shi Li.
With the blessing of the Son of God, her life finally became better. Even the red-robed servants got used to her daily visits and no longer asked her to wait for notification.
The weather was fine today, and Shi Li came to the palace of the Son of God as usual, but found that the Son of God had not eaten yet. There was a table full of fresh and delicious food, but the elegant and handsome young man was obsessed with a book in his hand.
Shi Li hesitated at the door and coughed, "What book are you in such a hurry to read? You didn't even eat?"
Shenzi seemed to come back to his senses, glanced at her, then glanced at the food on the table, put down the book, and said, "I was so absorbed in it that I forgot about it."
As he said this, he walked towards the dining table, but then stopped. There was a hint of smile between his eyebrows, like a freehand landscape painting, handsome and elegant. "Would you like to eat some too? Otherwise, how can I eat?"
Shi Li's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely guessed that this Son of God was probably doing this on purpose, waiting for her to come under the guise of reading a book.
He must have known that she was short of food and clothing, but he didn't say it out loud to embarrass her. Instead, he changed his mind and made this gesture.
"Then I won't be polite." Shi Li did not let him down and walked over with confidence.
From then on, the problem of food was solved.
