After explaining everything at home, after Xuan Chengyu left, Li Yunsang moved to the royal palace to live temporarily.
Shen and Li Yunchang were both very happy about this, especially Li Yunchang, who packed up the house in his yard and came out to welcome her. On the night when Li Yunsang arrived, a special banquet was set up.
“I still have to go to pay my respects to the concubine tomorrow, right?” Li Yunsang was a little uneasy. She didn’t go to see the concubine Mao when she came here today, and always felt something was wrong.
Li Yunchang felt a little disdainful: “The concubine’s illness has not been cured. It is all taken care of by Concubine Quan, and she doesn’t want to see anyone.”
“Don’t want to see?” Li Yunsang breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn’t want to have any involvement with Concubine Quan and others. Concubine Mao clearly loved Quan Luoying more, and she was embarrassed when she left.
Li Yunchang comforted, “I’ll just give you a symbolic message to say hello tomorrow. I think she will definitely not want to see you.”
“Okay, then I’ll go there. Whether she meets her is her business. I still have to do a lot of etiquette and not embarrass my sister.”
The next day, Li Yunsang got up early and took the things she had prepared early to the yard of Mao Taifei.
As soon as I entered, I saw an old nanny coming out to greet her with a solemn expression. She stepped forward and bowed to Li Yunsang gently and looked at her: “I guess this is Mrs. Pingxi, right?”
“It’s just
.” Li Yunsang nodded and smiled politely, “I came to accompany my sister, thinking that I would still pay my respects to the concubine. I wonder if the concubine can meet each other now?”
The nanny’s voice was deep, and when she heard this, Li Yunsang waited for a while and went into the main room to report.
Li Yunsang, who was already ready to put down his things and leave, waited for a while and saw the nanny come out.
“Madam, come with me.” A faint polite smile appeared in the nanny’s slightly cloudy eyes, “The concubine invites you to come in.”
Li Yunsang was really confused for a moment, and after a while, he quickly adjusted his expression, curled his lips slightly and followed the nanny in.
“The concubine was not feeling well, and Concubine Quan was serving her left and right, so she lived here.” The nanny led Li Yunsang into the main house and whispered, “The concubine and the concubine are here at this moment, so just go.”
The houses Mao Taifei lived in the royal palace were all built according to the specifications of the concubine. The decoration inside was luxurious and exquisite, but because of the faint smell of herbs coming from the inner room, it seemed a little depressed.
In the corridor of the inner room, there was a bronze cauldron with an incense burner, which was spitting out cigarettes, which were simple and solemn, and Li Yunsang couldn’t help but feel even more nervous.
When I arrived at the door of the inner room, the two little maids waiting outside the door saw her coming, and one of them went in to report. After a moment, they came out to put up a curtain and let Li Yunsang go in.
Li Yunsang stepped into the room with a breath of breath and saw a huge screen in the middle hall. Behind the screen was a vaguely placed a leap bed. There was a figure lying on the couch, and there seemed to be someone serving her next to her. Li Yunsang took a look and then withdrew her gaze.
“I am the Marquis of Pingxi Palace, Xie Hou’s family, and I will pay homage to the concubine.” Li Yunsang bowed to the direction of the screen, waiting for the movement inside.
After a long time, I heard a slightly hoarse and powerless voice inside: “Madam Xie Hou, I have heard of his name for a long time.”
The voice was weak, as if it was already at the end of its strength, and said with a little tiredness: “Get up.”
