After hearing the palace maid report that Qi Yan had attacked Concubine Ning, Concubine Li became even more furious.

Concubine Ning doted on Qi Yan excessively and gave her whatever she wanted. Everyone in the palace knew it. Concubine Li had been envious of Qi Yan for having such a loving mother.

Although this mother did all kinds of bad things, at least she loved her children.

Concubine Rou touched Concubine Li's head and said, "Yes, yes, you are the best."

Concubine Li took the opportunity to move closer to Concubine Rou's arms, "My sister is so sad, please come and comfort her."

Concubine Rou rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and patted Concubine Li on the head. It wasn't heavy, but Concubine Li kept crying and couldn't get up anymore.

Zui Xiang just came out of the inner hall with the basket that Concubine Li had hidden, and saw that Concubine Li was pressing on her own queen again.

He immediately rushed forward and pushed Concubine Li away, "Get out of the way, don't you see that my queen dislikes you?"

Concubine Li rolled her eyes and approached again, "My sister didn't say anything, what are you yelling about, little girl? Go away."

"You... Your Majesty, look at her," Zui Xiang was speechless and looked at Concubine Rou who was smiling but not saying anything.

"Forget it, it's almost time for dinner, and I'm hungry too. Go to the kitchen and make something delicious." Concubine Rou really didn't mind, but Concubine Li was a little heavy. It turns out that foodies don't eat for nothing.

Zui Xiang stamped her feet and pointed at Concubine Li, "She won't want to eat here too, will she?"

Li Fei, who was lying in Rou Fei's arms, was not happy. "What's the matter? You can't even bear to give me a meal, you stingy little girl."

Zui Xiang rolled her eyes and said, "Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. You eat the meal for two people by yourself. Your waist has become several times fatter."

Concubine Li stood up and asked, "Who are you calling fat, little girl?"

Zui Xiang was not to be outdone, "I said you were fat, look at your clothes, they are so tight that they are on your body."

Concubine Li had no way to refute it because it was indeed the fact. Ever since she met Concubine Rou, she came to eat every day, her appetite increased day by day, and her clothes were indeed too small.

Concubine Li's face turned red, but Zui Xiang, who had completely changed from the depressed state she had been in the past due to Concubine Li's criticism, now looked refreshed and full of fighting spirit.

Concubine Li couldn't stand her smug look, so she cried and fell into Concubine Rou's arms again, "Sister, now even Zui Xiang dares to bully me."

Concubine Rou sighed and sent Zui Xiang out. "Okay, go to the kitchen. I want to eat water shield soup for dinner."

Zui Xiang was so disappointed that she stamped her feet and said, "Just spoil her."

After saying that, she walked out. When she looked back after leaving the palace, she saw Concubine Li with a smug look on her face, and she made a face at her.

Zui Xiang was so angry that he rushed to the small kitchen, prepared the meal as quickly as possible, and put laxative in the bowl used by Concubine Li.

That night, Concubine Li was in terrible pain and tossed and turned for half the night. She was no calmer than when Concubine Ning was hit.

Concubine Li calmed down and thought more and more that something was wrong. It must be that little girl Zui Xiang who drugged her. Well, he actually dared to plot against her. Let's see how she will retaliate.

Early the next morning, Concubine Li came to Jingyang Palace, swinging her handkerchief and humming a song.

Concubine Rou was eating at the time. Concubine Li rolled her eyes at Zuixiang, snorted coldly, and sat down.

Zui Xiang felt a little guilty, but she still rolled her eyes and pushed back.

Concubine Rou was confused. In the past, Concubine Li had never been so hostile to Zuixiang. And Zuixiang, it seemed that there was an especially strong sense of tension between them today. What happened today?

Just as Concubine Li sat down and took a bite of the bun, a eunuch came to report that Qi Yan had arrived.

Concubine Li didn't move. "Why is she here? Didn't she have a quarrel with her mother yesterday?"

Concubine Rou shook her head. She didn't pay attention to the follow-up yesterday. "Let's bring the person in first."

The visitor hesitated and stood still. Concubine Li frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the princess came with her luggage," the eunuch said quickly as if he had been pardoned.

Concubine Li dropped the bun in her hand onto the table. She turned to Concubine Rou with a look of disbelief, "Is she coming to seek refuge with you?"

Concubine Rou frowned and shook her head, "Forget it, if you want to ask, go ahead."

The eunuch took the order and went out. Concubine Li picked up another bun and said, "What the hell is Qi Yan thinking? She broke up with her mother and came to us. Isn't this trying to create hatred between us?"

"No," before Concubine Rou could say anything, Concubine Li slammed the table, "We have received money from her mother, so we can't do anything like poaching her."

"You took it, I won't." The 20,000 taels from yesterday all went into Concubine Li's pocket, and she could not have a penny of it.

Concubine Li hurriedly tried to get close to him, "We are like that, what's mine is yours."

Concubine Rou quickly waved her hand and said, "That's not necessary." She always felt that she had no good intention in saying this.

"Mother Concubine Rou," the voice came before the person arrived. The call was extremely intimate and the voice was so artificial that even Concubine Li, who loved to act coquettishly, got goose bumps.

Concubine Rou frowned, obviously a little uncomfortable. Qi Yan had never given her a good face before. Now her behavior was exactly like that of someone who was too attentive to others for no reason. She was either a traitor or a thief.

As soon as Qi Yan entered the room, the smile on her face froze instantly. She didn't expect Concubine Li to be here so early in the morning.

Concubine Li has been looking at the palace door since just now. She wants to see what Qi Yan is up to.

Naturally, Concubine Li did not miss the expression on Qi Yan's face.

She sneered, but before she could speak, Qi Yan's smile reappeared on her face, "Empress Li is here so early."

One is Concubine Rou and the other is Concubine Li, so it is obvious how close they are. Concubine Li rolled her eyes, she was right in guessing, Qi Yan really wanted Concubine Rou to adopt her.

But they are both concubines, so why not look for Concubine Rou instead of her?

Concubine Li snorted coldly, "Not early, I just came earlier than you. I have been having breakfast in Jingyang Palace for a long time."

Indeed, Concubine Rou has been preparing breakfast for Concubine Li these days.

Qi Yan was speechless, she didn't expect Concubine Li to be here, she had chosen the meal time specifically to come here.

It seems that the rumors in the palace are true. The relationship between Concubine Li and Concubine Rou is extremely good.

Originally, I was thinking of taking advantage of the breakfast break to have a meal and get closer to her, so that I could smoothly put forward her request.

Just as she was thinking about it, Qi Yan put on her signature smile, exactly the same as Concubine Ning's.

"I see. It's Yan'er's fault for being rude. Then Yan'er will wait until the two mothers have finished their breakfast before coming back." After saying that, she bowed, stood up and walked out.

Qi Yan wanted to retreat in order to advance. At this time, any normal person would think of keeping the person for dinner.

But Concubine Li was not an ordinary person. She just watched Qi Yan walk out quietly without stopping her.

Of course, Concubine Rou couldn't stop her. As soon as Qi Yan turned around, Concubine Rou wanted to do it, but was stopped by Concubine Li's quick eyes and hands.

Qi Yan had her back to the two people in the hall. She walked to the door but she didn't hear anyone calling her from behind.

So she looked back while she was about to pay her respects after she walked out of the palace gate.

Concubine Li was seen concentrating on eating, while Concubine Rou smiled at her and had no intention of stopping her.

Qi Yan could only grit her teeth, but she didn't dare to break up with Concubine Rou, so she could only leave with a smile.
