Chapter 240 Little Princess
A few days later, in Guangqing Palace, Lian Di was walking in the garden, enjoying the afternoon sunshine. However, she didn't know that in another corner of the palace, Concubine Chun was burning with anger.
Concubine Chun learned from the palace maid that Lian Di had been favored for three consecutive days, and she couldn't help but feel jealous and angry. She looked coldly at the teacup in her hand, with a hint of coldness in her eyes: "Lian Di, this bitch, has been favored by the emperor for three consecutive days. It seems that it's time to teach her a lesson."
She called her trusted maid Xiaoju and whispered, "Xiaoju, I have something for you to do. Go and bring the little princess here. I want to use her to attract the emperor's attention and let him know Lian Di's true identity."
After hearing this, Xiaoju was slightly stunned, but quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Madam, I'll do it right away."
Concubine Chun smiled coldly, and she already had a plan in mind. She knew that the little princess was the emperor's darling, and if she let the little princess suffer some grievances in front of Lian Di, the emperor would definitely be dissatisfied with Lian Di and even punish her.
After a while, Xiaoju carried the little princess to Concubine Chun's bedroom. Concubine Chun took the little princess with a smile and said gently, "Baby, let's go see your favorite aunt Lian Di today, okay?"
The little princess nodded innocently: "Yes, I like Aunt Lian Di."
Concubine Chun smiled more gently, but a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes. She brought the little princess to Guangqing Palace, pretending to bring her to play.
Lian Di was walking in the garden. When she saw Concubine Chun coming with the little princess in her arms, she felt uneasy, but she still went to greet them with a smile and bowed, saying, "Concubine Chun, little princess, you are here."
Concubine Chun smiled and said, "Sister Lian Di, let's see how you and the little princess are having fun."
Lian Di smiled slightly, but she became alert in her heart: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. How is the little princess doing recently?"
Concubine Chun smiled and said, "The little princess has always been thinking about you, so I brought her here to play with you today."
Lian Di looked down at the little princess, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Little princess, auntie will take you out to play, okay?"
The little princess nodded happily: "Okay!"
Lian Di took the little princess to the side and started to tease her. Concubine Chun watched from the side and sneered in her heart, she knew that the opportunity was coming soon.
After a while, Lian Di took the little princess to a rockery. Suddenly, a stone fell from the rockery and almost hit the little princess. Lian Di quickly protected the little princess in her arms, still in shock.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Chun immediately shouted, "Little Princess!"
She walked quickly to the little princess and pretended to be concerned about her condition. The little princess was frightened and burst into tears. Concubine Chun's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and then she looked at Lian Di coldly: "Sister Lian Di, how did you take care of the little princess? You almost hurt her!"
Lian Di's heart tightened, and she quickly explained, "My Lady Concubine Chun, I didn't know the stone would fall, and I was just trying my best to protect the little princess. Please understand."
Concubine Chun sneered, "Mingcha? Look at yourself, the little princess is so scared, and you still dare to say that you tried your best?"
She picked up the little princess and said coldly: "Let's go and find the emperor and let him see how you take care of the little princess."
Lian Di's heart sank, knowing that Concubine Chun was deliberately looking for trouble, but she had no choice but to follow behind silently.
Soon, they arrived outside the imperial study. Concubine Chun said coldly to Little Li: "Go and report to the emperor, saying that the little princess almost got into trouble in Guangqing Palace, and ask him to come out immediately."
Seeing Concubine Chun's serious expression, Little Lizi hurried in to report. After a while, Li Yong hurried out and saw the little princess crying in Concubine Chun's arms. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Concubine Chun said coldly: "Your Majesty, today I took the little princess to Guangqing Palace, wanting her to play with sister Liandi, but unexpectedly, a stone fell from the rockery in Guangqing Palace and almost hit the little princess."
After hearing this, Li Yong's face darkened and he looked at Lian Di coldly: "Lian Di, is this true?"
Lian Di's heart tightened, and she knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, I didn't know the stone would fall, and I just tried my best to protect the little princess. Please understand."
Li Yong looked at Lian Di, with a complex emotion in his eyes. He knew Lian Di's character and would not deliberately harm the little princess, but the little princess was indeed frightened.
Seeing Li Yong's hesitation, Concubine Chun said coldly, "Your Majesty, this is no small matter. The little princess was almost injured. You must severely punish Lian Di."
Li Yong was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "Lian Di, I know you didn't mean it, but it is true that the little princess was frightened. You go back first, I will investigate this matter further."
Lian Di felt depressed and helpless, and whispered, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
She retreated silently, her heart filled with helplessness and worry. She knew that Concubine Chun would not let her go easily, and she had to be more careful to survive in this complicated harem.
Returning to Guangqing Palace, Lian Di felt exhausted and weak. Dong Xia saw her expression and hurried forward to ask with concern: "Madam, what happened?"
Lian Di sighed softly and told Dong Xia what had happened. Dong Xia's face changed after hearing this and she said angrily, "Noble Concubine Chun is really too much. It was obviously she who deliberately framed the Empress. How could the Emperor not see through it?"
Lian Di smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Dong Xia, the emperor also has his difficulties. We can't easily confront Concubine Chun. We can only be more careful and make sure not to make mistakes again."
Dong Xia nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Don't worry, Madam, I will be careful and protect you from being harmed again."
Lian Di looked at Dong Xia with gratitude, and felt warm in her heart. She knew that she still had loyal subordinates and friends, and as long as she persisted, she would be able to overcome the difficulties.
