Chapter 233

This person always has to suffer some hardships before he can understand where he is today.

Regardless of what Li Yu thought, Wei Changzai had already walked in slowly.

Holding the food box, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Hongli didn't read the memorial. He stared at Wei Changzai as soon as she entered the room.

He looked her up and down for a moment again, then smiled and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying thank you, Wei Changzai walked to the table and put down the food box under Hongli's somewhat fiery gaze.

"Your Majesty, I made this milk and water chestnut flour cake this morning. It's so smooth and fluffy. Would Your Majesty like to try it?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have noticed Hongli's gaze.

She raised her head and quickly made eye contact with the other person, her cheeks immediately turning red.

She lowered her head and stammered, "Your Majesty... why are you looking at me like this..."

Hongli laughed heartily.

"I see that your attire today is different from usual. It really makes my eyes light up."

Upon hearing this, Wei Changzai lowered his head to glance at his clothes.

Then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress knows that I had a hard time at home before, so she loves me."

"This piece of material was just given to me by the Empress. I had the people in the Imperial Household Department make a dress as fast as they could. Your Majesty, do you think it's suitable?"

Hongli smiled and nodded, "The Queen has good taste. This dress looks very nice on her."

"emperor…"

Wei Changzai took a step closer and said, "The Empress is not only discerning, but also kind-hearted. I have received so much kindness from the Empress, and I am deeply grateful."

"As the Empress, she is naturally very qualified."

"Yes, Your Majesty, would you like to try this milk and water chestnut flour cake?"

Wei Changzai stayed in the Yangxin Palace, and the matter of Yi Guiren sleeping with him was once again delayed.

That night, after they called for water and just lay down, Li Yu's somewhat panicked voice was heard outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened in Shoukang Palace!"

Hongli sat up suddenly when he heard this. "Shoukang Palace? What happened to the Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty, it's not the Queen Mother, it's... it's Princess Longyue."

Wei Chang's eyes flashed with understanding, and then he said, "Your Majesty, since it has been reported to the Yangxin Palace, it must be no small matter. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Hongli no longer hesitated and let Wei Changzai help him change his clothes, then hurried out.

Li Yu followed the sedan chair and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived at Shoukang Palace. Because the matter involved Princess Longyue, they had to send someone to invite Your Majesty. However, the person who came did not specify what the matter was. I'm afraid it's... not a small matter."

Hongli's face was gloomy.

It’s not that he was that worried about Longyue.

However, Longyue was the person chosen for marriage after consultation between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

If something happens now, other things may not be a big deal, but if it delays the marriage, that would be fatal.

At Li Yu's urging, the sedan chair moved quickly.

In just half a cup of tea, they arrived outside the gate of Shoukang Palace.

The concubines usually had little to do, and at this time of day, the lights in Shoukang Palace should have been extinguished.

But today, when I looked inside, it was brightly lit.

When Hongli strode to the outside of the main hall, he heard bursts of crying coming from inside, and it seemed that there was more than one person crying.

Li Yu waved his whisk and said, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Hongli strode into the room while singing and chanting.

He raised his head and took a glance.

The Empress Dowager, the Queen, and several concubines were all present.

The originally spacious main hall of Shoukang Palace seemed a bit crowded at first glance.

Longyue even knelt on the ground, her body trembling with tears.

Seeing the emperor come in, everyone had different expressions.

But they all made way for each other without any prior agreement.

"My son wishes you the best of luck to the Empress Dowager."

Hongli's voice became heavy, and so did the empress dowager's.

"Get up! It's a shame to have the Emperor come here now and disturb your rest."

"You are too kind, Empress Dowager. I wonder what happened?"
