Hearing this, Li Shiliu's beautiful face couldn't help but reveal a trace of embarrassment. You know, she came here specially to visit Concubine Kong Xian and Princess Yile! If she changed her route to Concubine Lu Hui's palace at this moment, it would be a bit inappropriate.

Just as she was secretly pondering how to politely refuse, the clever Concubine Lu Hui seemed to see through her inner thoughts at a glance.

Concubine Lu Hui smiled slightly, as charming as a flower blooming in spring. She gently raised her jade hand to cover her cherry-red lips, and then asked softly, "Princess Sheng'an is in such a hurry, isn't she in a hurry to see Princess Yile?"

"It's quite a coincidence. This morning, Concubine Kong Xian specially invited the most outstanding tailor from the Imperial Clothing Shop to tailor a wedding dress for Princess Yile!

Moreover, this measurement task is not easy. It will probably take at least one or two hours.

After all, the princess's wedding dress cannot be sloppy, it must be carefully prepared months in advance!"

Now that things have come to this, even though Li Shiliu still has concerns in her heart, it is really not easy to continue to refuse at this moment. Helplessly, she could only nod slightly to indicate her agreement.

Just like that, Li Shiliu and Concubine Lu Hui walked hand in hand, turned around and walked slowly towards Concubine Lu Hui's palace as intimately as real sisters.

As soon as they entered the palace, Concubine Lu Hui warmly invited Li Shiliu to take a seat, waved her hand to let all the servants leave, and personally served her a cup of fragrant tea.

She said softly, "Princess Sheng An, come and try my Xinyang Maojian tea. This is the first batch of tea picked this year. It tastes very delicious!"

"Thank you for the reward, my queen."

……

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Concubine Lu Hui finally stopped the small talk and went straight to the point.

She raised her head slightly, looked straight at the person opposite her, and said slowly: "I guess Princess Sheng An must be suspicious of the fact that I intercepted you halfway today?

To be honest, I had no choice but to do this. I really have something to ask of you, Princess!"

Hearing this, Li Shiliu's originally calm face still showed no emotion, and she just responded calmly: "What do you mean, Madam?"

At this time, Concubine Lu Hui raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes.

She stared at Li Shiliu's cold face and said softly, "Since I gave birth to the twenty-seventh prince, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that I have enjoyed unlimited glory and wealth, but in fact, I am walking on thin ice and there are dangers everywhere."

After saying this, Concubine Lu Hui paused, and noticed that Li Shiliu did not respond, but she seemed to have expected this. She gently waved the exquisite palace fan in her hand without any concern, and then continued to tell the story slowly.

“My princess, you don’t know that although my brother and I are from one of the five most prestigious families, the Lu family, we were bullied and oppressed by our family members, and our lives were miserable.

Fortunately, he later took refuge with the current emperor, and only then did he find a glimmer of hope and was able to survive.

Over the years, my brother and I have been serving His Majesty wholeheartedly and have long since drawn a clear line between ourselves and the Lu family.

As for the last time that Your Majesty took advantage of my son's 100th day celebration to set up a plan to catch the five major families in one fell swoop, in fact, I already knew about it in advance, and was willing to assist Your Majesty in completing this plan.

This position of Consort Hui is the Emperor's reward for my contribution."
