Chapter 34
The emperor said lightly.
"What?! Why didn't you tell me!" I blurted out.This was too sudden, although I had a good time with the princess yesterday, but I have never seen Xia Li and Ning Xi since I met them at the banquet. They talk.
"What? Are you reluctant to part with your beautiful princess? You can go and catch up with her now."
I looked at Her Majesty's indifferent face, and felt even more terrified, because it meant that she was already angry, "That's not the case! I just want to say goodbye to the princess, and my friends, they It was a rare occasion, and not only did I not take them around, I didn’t even send them away properly.” Thinking of this, I felt particularly discouraged.
"You can't blame me, if you want to blame it, blame someone for sleeping like a piggy, who can't wake up no matter what you do." Her Lady Queen looked at me with great interest.
"It's not because of you last night!" I stared at her fiercely, God knows how many times Her Lady Queen asked for it last night, so that I am still in a weak state until now.
"So I'm already by your side to compensate you right now, haven't I?" Her Lady Queen said cheerfully.
"I still want to sleep, don't bother me!" I turned around directly, forcing myself not to look at her, and now my stomach was so angry that I became a little irritable.However, Her Majesty the Queen didn't know if she was against me on purpose, but she just wouldn't let me sleep, so I stood up straight and stared at her dissatisfied.
"You haven't eaten until now, eat something to pad your stomach before going to sleep, you will starve to death." Her Lady Queen said earnestly.
"Then feed me!" It may be because Her Lady Queen is too pampering me at this time, but I become more aggressive, regardless of Her Lady Queen's mood.
"Okay, okay, listen to your lady." Her Lady Queen quickly brought all the food and fed me bite by mouthful. After taking a good nap, I completely forgot about complaining about Her Majesty the Queen.
"Little Qiao, Xiao Qiao! Get up, get up!"
I was still sleeping soundly at this time, and suddenly felt someone shaking my body and forcefully pulling me out of my sleep. With my sleepy eyes, I could barely see that the person who disturbed my dream was Le Li, " What's wrong? It's early in the morning." I said dissatisfiedly, turned around to ignore her, and planned to continue to sleep.
"What an early morning! It's already noon now! How long do you want to sleep, Qiao Qiao!" she shouted.
Le Li's voice was so loud that I was already sober, "What, it's already noon?!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, Xiao Qiao, you didn't sleep well last night?" Le Li gave me a blank stare.
Thinking of being slapped hard by Her Ladyship last night, I felt very ashamed, "What do you want me to do, Le Li?" I just changed the subject.
"I almost forgot. I was on vacation today, so I wanted to hang out with you. Who knew you hadn't woken up after sleeping so late, so I came in and woke you up." Le Li said dissatisfied.
"Of course, let's go now? Do you want to have a meal here first?" I am naturally happy, after all, Her Lady the Queen is not around, so it is a bit boring to stay alone in the bedroom.
"Well, let's go out to eat!" Le Li grabbed me and started to walk outside after speaking.
"Wait, I haven't washed yet!"
Because Le Li said that the place we are going to is actually a bit far away, even if it takes two hours by carriage, so in order not to waste time, we decided to buy it, pack it and take it to the carriage to eat.Along the way, we ate, talked, chatted, talked freely, and ate deliciously. Time passed quickly, and it was already here in the blink of an eye.
After getting off the carriage, I found that the place we came to was a small village, and the location was quite remote. Apart from the fact that this small village was still a little populated, the surrounding area was full of wilderness and deserted hills. , The scenery is pleasant, but there is also a feeling of being far away from the world, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.
I followed Leli into the village slowly, and just as I stepped into the entrance, I found a group of children about five or six years old running towards us.
"Sister Le Li! You're here!" They jumped on Le Li happily.
"How is it? Are you being good recently? Have you been making trouble?" Le Li stroked their heads, her eyes had been bent into the shape of crescent moons, and she looked very happy.
"Good!" they said in unison.
"Since you are all so obedient, Sister Leli will definitely give you some rewards." After speaking, Leli took out a lot of candy from the bag.
"Wow! Sister Leli is the best!" The children became ecstatic when they saw the candies, and they took the candies from Leli's hands one after another, and all their attention was on these candies. Some forgot Le Li's existence.
Taking advantage of the time when they were only concerned about candy, Le Li walked over and said to me slowly: "When I was on a mission before, I was accidentally seriously injured, and was finally rescued by the people here. People in this village got along with each other for a while, and found that the people here are honest and simple, sincere and sincere. Even though my identity is unknown, they treated me very well, and they didn’t try to repay me if they saved me. And those children are innocent, Lively and lovely. This place is very different from the palace. There is less intrigue and more openness. I gradually like this place, so whenever I am free, I will come here to play with them, but Rather than saying that I accompany them, in fact, they accompany me!"
I looked at Le Li's leisurely and contented appearance, and her contented smile at this moment. I seemed to be infected by her, and the smile was unconsciously on my face.
"Sister Leli, come and play with us!" the group of children urged.
"Okay, okay, come now!" Le Li shook her head to express her helplessness, and our speech could only be temporarily suspended.
Chapter 48
Le Li quickly became involved with them and began to play some well-known children's games.Watching Le Li has already enjoyed it at this moment, even acting like those children at this moment, it is pleasing to the eyes, but at the same time it is full of emotions.
Her Majesty the Empress told me some things about Leli before. Leli's background was actually not good. She was born in a poor family, and the family lived in a remote place even more backward than this village. They just wanted to maintain food and clothing. It is already extremely difficult.When Le Li was nine years old, she wanted to get rid of her current predicament, and decided to bid farewell to her parents and find a way out.After many twists and turns, he finally came to the imperial city, but he had already spent all the money his parents had saved over the years as a way of traveling.Le Li had no choice but to steal steamed stuffed buns to solve her current hunger-burning predicament. However, she was caught by the boss, and the result was a series of beatings.At that time, Her Majesty the Empress happened to pass by and saw this scene, so she rescued Le Li. Afterwards, through Her Majesty's careful training and promotion, Le Li was finally able to find a job in the imperial city and get a good salary. Get rid of the predicament of poverty.And Le Li is very filial. She originally wanted to take her parents to live in the imperial city, but her parents refused because they couldn't adapt to the life in the imperial city and they were nostalgic for the place where they had always lived.As for Le Li's salary, except for some daily expenses, almost all the rest was sent to her parents.However, in fact, Leli's life has not been satisfactory these years. Although she has the protection of the Queen, she is still in this imperial city and palace. He has a straightforward personality, and doesn't bend his words when doing things, so he can easily offend them. Although he doesn't do anything to Le Li on the surface, it's hard to tell behind the scenes.And because other people are attached to the powerful, they naturally dare not have any contact with Le Li, so Le Li has almost no other close friends except for the Queen in recent years.
Seeing Leli showing a bright smile just because she was playing with children, in fact, the happiness Leli wants is so simple, I secretly vowed in my heart that I must protect Leli's smile.
"Sister Leli, why doesn't this sister play with us?" One of the children pointed at me and asked in puzzlement.
"That elder sister is the current imperial concubine. She has a noble status. How can she play with us?" Le Li said patiently.
"That's not the case. I'd love to play with you. Don't listen to sister Leli's nonsense." I immediately argued.I was originally born in common clothes, and the position of concubine is also thanks to the blessing of Her Majesty the Empress, but I have never felt that I am superior and arrogant because of this.Although Le Li didn't mean any harm, I still felt a little displeased.
"Okay, okay, let's play together, sister!" The group of children danced with excitement after hearing this, and they all hugged me one after another.
We got together and played together for nearly a day, we sang and danced, guessed riddles, told jokes, and had so much fun that we completely forgot the time, even to the point where we forgot to eat or sleep.In the end, it was the children's parents who urged them to go home for dinner, and we reluctantly separated.
