The two of them were far apart, so naturally they couldn't talk, but that didn't stop Mrs. Li, the chambermaid of the Earl's Mansion, from seeing the situation.

 Speaking of which, she was also in a dilemma.

Queen Yan is the person her husband's family wants to protect, and Li Guibin is the person her mother's family sends to the palace. Although the relationship between the two is not bad at present and they are on the same boat, no one can say anything about this royal matter. No, if the two of them fall out in the future, then I don't know how to choose.

 But she couldn't ignore the friendship that had lasted for many years, so she spoke softly to Mrs. Li.

"Everything is fine with your concubine. It's just that she had a quarrel with Concubine Xing a few days ago and was reprimanded a few times by your majesty, so she looks a little tired. The Xing family is in great momentum, and even the queen concubine has never been with her. She is tough on the front, if sister-in-law has a chance, she should advise your concubine, the future will be long."

She naturally knew this information from the Queen, so she told it so that Mrs. Li could persuade her. However, Mrs. Li sighed and replied in a low voice after hearing this.

"If I could persuade her, I wouldn't force her to take this path. The Earl's Palace has a lot of contact with the Queen. Although your concubine gave birth to a princess, her character is no different from that of the child. Please take care of the Queen. In terms of family ties, it’s good to take care of them.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, the news sent by the Queen is also for your concubine’s good, so she will definitely take more care of her. The wet nurses around the Sixth Princess are all selected by the Queen herself, and they take great care.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li also nodded. She just hoped that her daughter and the Sixth Princess could live a stable life in the palace. As for the plans of the husbands and sons outside, it would be good if they could stay away from their mother and daughter.

 She thought so, but Li Guibi did not necessarily think so.

Having only one princess means nothing. Without a prince, she just hopes to wait for the emperor's favor. Unfortunately, there are too many concubines in the palace, and there are too many vying for favor.

Her appearance and talent were first-class at home, but she didn't have much of an advantage when she entered the palace. Therefore, the emperor had never been to her palace since the birth of the sixth princess, so she was thoughtful today. She wanted to show off her grace in front of everyone so that the emperor could think of her "old person".

 It's a pity that she didn't find a suitable opportunity until the palace banquet was over.

In the end, he could only watch the emperor leave again with Concubine Xing and the Seventh Prince. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly approached Queen Yan and said something gossipy.

"I don't care about it, my Majesty. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Your Majesty should rest in Changchun Palace."

 Empress Yan didn't care much about the emperor's favor. The most important thing at the moment was to enable the eldest prince and the third prince to get married smoothly and win over the father-in-law's family. This was much more important than where the emperor slept.

 So, he replied calmly.

"I have grown old and have long been unfit to serve Your Majesty. Now it is only natural that I have someone as young and fertile as your concubine to accompany me. But you, on the other hand, have not been well since you gave birth to the sixth princess. You have this little time to be angry. , it’s better to take care of it.”

Li Guibi didn't want to take care of her, but even after taking care of her, she still felt like she wasn't angry enough, so she didn't bother to take care of it.

“I’ve been taking those bitter medicines every day, but I don’t think they have any effect, so I’ll stop for a while and try eating normal meals for a few days to see if my strength will improve.”

"Nonsense, how can you say you won't take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor? Even if you don't take care of your body, you have to think about the sixth princess. You can't let her be born without the care of your mother's concubines, right?"

Hearing this, Li Guibi rarely showed some tenderness.

“I know this, and I will take the medicine on time when I get back.”

“That’s good, I just looked at Mrs. Li with a lot of worry in her eyes. After a few days, I will decide to let her come into the palace to see you and the Sixth Princess.”

Hearing this, Li Guibi was much happier than before. “Thank you very much for your consideration.”

She then volunteered to accompany Queen Yan back to Changchun Palace. Outside the palace, the ladies from each family got into their own carriages and drove straight back to the palace.

Du Jingyi turned his neck as soon as he got in the car, as if his headdress was a little heavy. Brother Tai saw this and said with some distress.

"Thank you for your hard work, mother. Why don't you let Aunt Cherry break some for you first?"

“You are such a considerate and good boy, but you are almost home, so there is no harm in taking it apart after you get back.”

Tai Geer nodded, looking like a little man.

Since his father and cousin Zhao are both not at home, he is the eldest man in the family, so he naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of his mother and younger brothers, so he is quite happy with such a task.

Although he may not understand the affairs of the court yet, he still has some experiences and feelings at a young age. At least he knows who is sincere and who is fake!

So I thought about it and told Du Jingyi something about what happened at the palace banquet today.

“Mother, my son was sitting in the same row with several princes today, and he got a glimpse of something going on.”

 “Oh? What did Tai Geer see?”

He is now seven years old. Du Jingyi would be more confident if he said he could read three or four articles. But now that he can read people, Du Jingyi is certainly curious.

 Seeing Tai Geer's serious analysis, he said.

"The eldest prince is just like great-grandfather Guo back then. He is humble and courteous. He treats his younger brothers and us ministers very generously. The second prince is not very talkative, but when his son looks at him, he is not an innocent person. The third prince and the fourth prince Their temperaments are quite similar, and they often whisper to each other and laugh out loud from time to time. I think they have a pretty good relationship on weekdays."

 As soon as he said these words, Du Jingyi was also a little stunned.

In just two hours, he was able to see these things. Although it was a bit superficial, Du Jingyi was still very impressed.

 Yuan thought that he did not have such a good ability at the beginning, so he looked at his son Tai Ge'er's eyes with great satisfaction.

“Brother Tai is really good, but mother wants to test you. Why doesn’t the second prince like to talk?”

 Ta Geer tilted his head and thought for a moment, and finally gave a somewhat funny answer.

“Maybe it’s because he doesn’t like to talk since he was born.”

 This sentence made Du Jingyi laugh, but it also made her realize a problem.

There have never been groups of wives and concubines in the general's palace, so naturally there will be no disputes between concubines and concubines, so it is difficult for Tai Ge'er to imagine what the second and fourth princes will be like in the palace.

As he just said, the third prince and the fourth prince have a close relationship, but to be fair, this is because they live in peaceful days. If there is a fight in the future, these will only be the past memories of the princes.
