Chapter 212 Knowing one’s own warmth and coldness
Liu Yiyi followed Emperor Yongjia, but Concubine Xiao De did not follow. She came to report on her work, not to maintain a relationship like Liu Yiyi did.
"Empress Defei." Qin Liuse turned her head and saw Concubine Xiao Defei standing beside her.
As soon as Emperor Yongjia left, the eldest prince immediately ran around the garden spinning his reel like a happy eagle.
Concubine Xiao De looked at the kite in the sky and asked with a smile, "Did you make this for the eldest prince?"
Qin Liuse shook her head and smiled, "The eldest prince drew it. Anyway, I don't know what the kite that the late queen gave him looked like, but I colored it for him."
As soon as Concubine Xiao De heard this, she knew that Qin Liuse was being modest. How could the eldest prince, who was so small, make a kite by himself?
Even though it was a bit difficult, he probably only drew a few strokes and the rest was done by Qin Liuse.
"He actually loves being with you." Concubine Xiao De said as she looked at the eldest prince jumping around.
You have to know that there are quite a few concubines in the harem who want to get close to the eldest prince. If they are favored by the eldest prince, the emperor will naturally take a few more glances at them. There are quite a few people who have such thoughts.
Qin Liuse smiled and said, "It was just because of the koi kite that day that he happened to like it."
Concubine Xiao De smiled and shook her head, children's love is the most real.
In fact, seeing Emperor Yongjia being so cold just now, Concubine Xiao De wanted to comfort Qin Liuse, but now it seems that Qin Liuse is not affected at all.
Concubine Xiao De found it interesting that just now every glance of Liu Yiyi was on Emperor Yongjia, and she wanted to stick to him so much that she even followed him for a few steps, even if she had nothing to say.
But Qin Liuse was a little different. He greeted the emperor as required and performed formalities as required, and did not seem to be sad about Emperor Yongjia's neglect.
Concubine Xiao De had always liked Qin Liuse, and seeing how she had such self-control, she couldn't help but like her even more.
She was only worried about Qin Liuse's mood, but not about what was happening between her and the emperor.
This kind of thing is like drinking the water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold. Others see her suffering, but whose love can be smooth sailing? There always have to be some bumps and bruises to make it deep enough.
And according to Concubine Xiao De, the emperor might not be as the concubines outside said, that he was displeased with Qin Liuse and no longer liked her.
Emperor Yongjia was never a man who acted on impulse, just look at the way he ignored Qin Liuse just now.
It was like he wasn't looking at her, but more like he was deliberately not looking at her.
This doesn't seem like something a guy like him would do.
You need to know what it was like for other people who offended Emperor Yongjia and were neglected.
In fact, it was because in the harem, Concubine Xiao De was not in love with Emperor Yongjia, and was only his woman in name, and in reality she was a complete "bystander", that she could see things so clearly from a distance.
Therefore, Concubine Xiao De didn't say much. She just spoke a few words to Qin Liuse and left. She always didn't like to meddle in other people's business.

I don’t know if it was because of the “scolding” in the Cining Palace in the morning, but that night, Emperor Yongjia finally turned over the card, and the one he turned over was Liu Yiyi.
It can be seen that showing courtesy is still useful.
Emperor Yongjia seemed to be a truly filial son and listened to Empress Dowager Dong's words.
In the next few days, it can only be said that it was treated very fairly and evenly, and the names of Liu Qiuniang, Qin Huaijin, Wang Leyao, Lan Jieyu, Wen Cairen and others were all turned over.
So when they went to the Queen Mother Dong at the end of the month, everyone sat together and talked, and it seemed that Qin Liuse had lost the halo on his head.
"During this period, the Emperor has been summoning the most beautiful ladies, which shows that the Emperor has found a new person at the heart of his heart."
Wang Leyao said this sourly, but in fact it was not sour at all, and it seemed more like she was saying it on purpose for Qin Liuse to hear.
Qin Liuse drank his tea indifferently, ignoring these boring people.
Liu Qiuniang added, "I think the next one to be pregnant might be Lady Liu."
In fact, Liu Qiuniang has always disliked Liu Yiyi and couldn't stand her delicate and artificial appearance, but now she is praising her and stepping on Qin Liuse.
This fully demonstrates that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
However, Liu Yiyi remained the same as always and did not argue like them. She just looked at Qin Liuse with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Qin Liuse thought to himself, wow, this Liu Yiyi, if you really think about it, her level is no worse than anyone else.
Others openly criticized her.
And Liu Yiyi's look seemed to express an embarrassed apology to Qin Liuse, but in fact it implied too much meaning.
What was even more unexpected was that after the show, Liu Yiyi walked out of the Cining Palace and quickly caught up with Qin Liuse, wanting to go with her.
Qin Liuse thought to herself, if she wanted to keep pretending, she didn't have to pretend so thoroughly.
Let’s forget about it just now, but why are you still bringing this up?
For a moment, Qin Liuse couldn't help but feel more defensive.
Sure enough, all Liu Yiyi said along the way was some meaningless nonsense.
He said he envied her for being so beautiful, and for being so loved by Emperor Yongjia and the servants.
She also said that whenever she was with the emperor, she was afraid that she had not served him well and wanted to learn from Qin Zhaoyi.
Qin Liuse didn't know for a moment whether she was really simple or just pretending to be stupid.
Because he didn't like her, Qin Liuse didn't let her walk next to him along the way and always kept one or two steps away from her.
But the fact is that no matter how well you defend yourself, if others want to frame you, what is coming will always come.
As they walked, they came to the small garden near Yongshou Palace. Suddenly, Qin Liuse felt as if something was entangled under his feet, and he fell to the side without paying attention.
Qin Liuse thought something was wrong. This fall would crush Liu Yiyi tightly.
So he used all his strength, turned around, and fell to the other side.
The ground on this side was full of pebbles, and Qin Liuse almost fell unconscious.
On the other side, she clearly fell in the opposite direction, but Liu Yiyi still seemed to be tripped by her and fell forward.
In the blink of an eye, both of them fell down.
The maids following behind were horrified and immediately ran over to support their masters.
Aunt Mingyue and Qingqing supported Qin Liuse on both sides and swept away the fallen leaves and dust on her hair.
At this time, a maidservant from Liu Yiyi's side cried out in surprise, "Beauty! Beauty! Why is there a large pool of blood here?"
When everyone looked over, they saw a pool of bright red blood spreading from under Liu Yiyi's head.
This is a miscarriage.
