Chapter 233: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Gao Jiyue (98)
Chapter 233: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, Gao Jiyue (98)
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Chen Wanyin couldn't help but ask, "Is something going to happen?"
"Ok!"
Li Siqi nodded slightly, "This southern tour will definitely bring about something big.
Avoid getting involved.
It's best to stay on our boat.
If I take the blame for someone else's misfortune, it may not be too unfair."
The three of them looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.
Obviously this news was beyond their expectations.
"My lady, what is going to happen?"
Shupin asked softly, "Remind me and the others so that we can know what to do."
"Leave the Far Phoenix Ship."
Li Siqi was silent for a moment, then said: "The farther away from the Phoenix Ship, the better.
If you get involved in it.
Even if I want to protect you, it’s useless.
Then we will all be the ones who suffer.”
As soon as these words came out.
Their faces changed again and again.
With such an obvious reminder, they finally guessed something.
After all, everyone knows that the guy from Changchun Palace was forced to board the ship.
If something unexpected happened to her...
Unlucky people will suffer even if they don't die.
Those who need to be reminded have already been reminded.
Li Siqi did not continue the topic.
Turning his gaze to Chen Wanyin, "Wanpin, can I come to your hometown when I go to Jiangnan this time?"
"Reply to the Queen."
Chen Wanyin immediately responded: "I really don't know.
You can only see where the dragon boat stops.
If there is a chance, it would be nice to see my family.”
"Meeting family?"
Li Siqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone will have the opportunity to see their relatives.
We will arrange for your relatives to meet at that time."
"Really?"
Hailan was somewhat surprised and delighted, "Madam, did you make arrangements in advance?"
"Ah."
Li Siqi responded, “After hearing the news about the Southern Tour, I passed the message to my family.
Ask them to arrange for your family.
I will find a suitable opportunity to meet you.”
Hear the news.
They couldn't help but smile happily.
“I didn’t feel that way at home before.”
Shupin couldn't help but sigh: "I only want to enter the palace to serve the emperor.
I have been in the palace for two years now.
I always think about my family in my heart.
Being in the harem, it is very difficult to see my family."
"My lady is feeling better."
Hai Lan smiled and said, "At least I can see Mrs. Gao Jia during the palace banquet.
Unlike the three of us, it’s hard to see our family members.”
"Don't worry, we will arrange for you to meet your family this time."
Li Siqi responded softly, "I still say the same thing as before.
This southern tour is extraordinary.
You just need to pay attention to the situation yourself.
Don't forget to pay attention to the people around you.
Don’t let yourself be held back by the people around you.”
"Yes, madam!"
The three of them were reminded again by her.
Not daring to be negligent anymore, they all nodded in agreement.
The following days.
Except when summoned by the Emperor and Empress.
They all lived on the boat.
Always do your duty.
Rejected invitations from Concubine Chun, Concubine Ying, and others.
Until the Jiangnan area.
The fleet stopped.
Under Wang Qin's arrangement.
Gao Jia's brothers, Hai Lan's family, Chen Wan Yin's family, and Shu Bin's family.
They came on board in batches to pay their respects.
The three little princes were unwilling to play on the boat.
They insisted on going ashore to hang out.
Li Siqi had to go find Hongli.
"My lady, please wait a moment."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Wang Qin's forehead, and he didn't dare to let the person in front of him in.
"Oh, how long do we have to wait?"
Li Siqi's expression was half-smile, "Will we have to wait for several hours?"
Xiao Huzi had already told her what the situation was inside.
It has to be said that Hongli's departure from the capital was a sign of indulgence.
No wonder the emperor would come up with such a "lost pearl in the ocean" drama.
Wang Qin suggested with a bitter face, "Madam, how about I go in and report now?"
"No need!"
Li Siqi refused to go in.
Hongli had the nerve to enjoy the blessing of having many wives.
She still thinks it's an eyesore.
He casually said, "Find a chance to tell His Majesty that Xiaoliu and the others are going ashore to hang out and play.
They brothers will follow Prince Yi.
Just tell the emperor to rest assured.
I will go back first."
"Yes, I have remembered it."
Wang Qin quickly bowed and said, "Your servant respectfully sends the Imperial Concubine off."
Watch her leave the dragon boat.
Wang Qincai raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Thinking of the master who was living a dissolute life inside, I inexplicably felt as if I had escaped a disaster.
A few hours later.
Hongli knew that Gao Xiyue had been on the dragon boat, and he felt inexplicably guilty.
Quickly arrange for Wang Qin to send her a batch of precious items.
These were all gifts he had just received from officials from Jiangnan.
In a blink of an eye, all of them were sent to Li Siqi's warehouse.
It just so happened that Hailan and the others were there.
Li Siqi doesn't care about this.
Everyone present had a share.
Hai Lan and the others are no longer the financially strapped concubines they were in previous years.
With the support of the Gao family, their families are able to provide them with a lot of resources.
Shupin's family is an old and powerful Manchu family.
Her family members did not hold high official positions, but they had no shortage of money.
But no one can have too much of a good thing.
They all have children around them, and they will have to take care of their own children in the future.
Shupin has been diagnosed with pregnancy.
A great happy event.
She liked quietness and was even less willing to go to other boats.
Stay peacefully on the boat and take care of your pregnancy.
When they gather together to chat, another topic comes up: parenting experience and educational methods.
We live a peaceful life here.
The other ships were still bustling with activity.
Time passes day by day.
"Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"
Li Siqi noticed that the little guy's expression was not right.
I was a little curious, "Did something happen?
Why are you so sad?
Who dares to bully you?
Tell it quickly and let your mother be happy."
"Eniang."
There was no one else around.
Xiaoliu was too lazy to pretend to be a child anymore.
He looked helpless, "Why do you always want to see your son's joke?"
"Who told me to be so boring?"
Li Siqi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's normal to like to watch the fun, okay?
Otherwise, how can I live my life?
Okay, I won’t talk nonsense with you anymore.
Tell me what happened yourself.
He looked very sad. "
"Mother, you really don't know the recent news on the dragon ship?"
Xiaoliu showed a complicated expression, "The Emperor is getting more and more absurd.
Yesterday, I was strolling around the market with my thirteenth uncle Mafa.
Everyone heard the common people making fun of the emperor for his disregard for meat and drink, and there were reports of prostitutes from brothels boarding the dragon boat every day.
It seems that the concubines in the harem are not as favored by the emperor as the girls in brothels.
Mother, my uncles looked very unhappy at that time.
I can’t wait to fight with those people.”
"..."
Li Siqi remained silent.
Xiaoliu continued, "I have privately asked Uncle Thirteen about Mafa.
Thirteenth Uncle Mafa told me not to worry about these things.
But I feel uncomfortable.
I don't understand why the emperor doesn't care about his own reputation.
It also implicates you and the concubines.
Does the Emperor really not care about the reputation of the royal family?"
"little six."
Li Siqi touched his head and said, "Actually, you know it very well.
The person sitting in that position.
Either be wise or indulge yourself.
Everyone’s choices are different.
I don't care about reputation at all.
It should be said that if you care about your reputation, you won't indulge yourself.
Since he chooses to do as he pleases.
What fame and reputation does he care about?"
