Chapter 13

A few days later, it was time for the new concubine to enter the palace.

The time for Li Ling to enter the East Palace was set to be one month after the new concubine entered the palace to show the difference.

Li Xuanming personally selected the best medicine and sent it to Li Ling.

For the first time, Li Xuanming said a lot of words about "Father is kind and son is filial" to Li Ling.

Li Ling nodded weakly and promised, and she looked like a cowardly concubine who didn't say a word, which made Li Xuanming leave in embarrassment.Before leaving, Li Xuanming sighed inexplicably in a low voice: The taste of His Royal Highness is really...really...

For Li Xuanming, this month was just right for Li Ling to heal the whip wounds on his hands without leaving scars.

For Li Ling, this month is just right for her to spend more time with Aunt Qian.

As soon as Li Xuanming left, Li Ling turned around and gave the medicine to Aunt Qian.

Li Ling thought about the scars on Aunt Qian's back, but Aunt Qian remembered the scar on the back of Li Ling's hand firmly.Every time he took the medicine, he had to wait for the good medicine on the back of Li Ling's hand before he would lie down and take the medicine.

But within a day, countless people heard that "Li Jingshu", the eldest daughter of Li Xuanming, a member of the Ministry of Industry, was married to the Crown Prince of the East Palace.

Marriage to the current crown prince, who is also a dignified fourth-rank concubine, is far more promising than entering the palace as a concubine.

Soon, countless people came to curry favor with the Li family.

Li Xuanming, a little-known little boy named Wailang, who was a member of the Ministry of Industry for Fifth Grade, suddenly became very popular in the Ministry of Industry.

Not only were the officials on errands courteous, even Li Xuanming's superior, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also talked to Li Xuanming in person. In his words, he also mentioned that Li Xuanming had not made any mistakes in his errands these years, which even hinted at , the end-of-year assessment, and promotion to the fifth-rank doctor, there must be no problem.

Li Xuanming has been in the position of Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Fifth Grade Industry, for nine years.No merits, no faults, extremely inconspicuous, seeing that officials younger than himself were promoted, but he has been standing still, Li Xuanming is also helpless.

Unexpectedly, the useless Li Jingjing at home could still fight for him.Let him Li Xuanming finally be able to feel proud.

Being bragged and praised day by day, Li Xuanming was going to float when he walked.He often humbles himself in front of people, but his face is flushed and his smile can't be hidden.

Li Xuanming was in a good mood, and after returning home, he greeted Aunt Qian and Li Ling with greetings, and even sent many good things over.

Seeing that the master took Aunt Qian and the second young lady seriously, the maid in the mansion immediately raised the treatment for the two of them. Not only did they restore their original status, but they also bowed their heads and greeted them with smiles every day.

At this time, Li Ling, who had traveled for a long time, finally tasted the relaxed and leisurely life of the daughter of an ancient official family.

Li Xuanming sent the good things to Li Ling's house. After An knew about it, she finally "sick".

Because of the marriage of the prince, Li Xuanming got along like a fish in water in the Ministry of Industry.Not to mention, personally going to Li's mansion to curry favor with the official's wife who gave the gift.

In Li's residence, An's declined the invitations from batch after batch of officials' wives, and at the same time felt so aggrieved to death.

She smiled dryly at the officials and wives who came to the door every day, until her face hurt from laughing.

An Shi knew in her heart that the master wanted to send Li Jingjing, this fake "Li Jingshu", into the East Palace.

If it was really her Jingshu who entered the East Palace, An Shi would naturally show it off to the familiar officials and wives, but now it is not her Jingshu who enters the palace, she is already very unhappy.Faced with countless people who congratulated her, she almost vomited blood in her heart!

And the official's wife who was acquainted with An's secretly scolded An's sourly, maybe she became the mother of the prince Liangdi, and she didn't let people see the righteous lord Li Jingshu, shutting everyone out, really!This person has not yet entered the palace, and has not yet become a relative of the emperor, so An's pride has grown!

When An Shi heard about it by chance, she was even more distressed!

Although these familiar officials and wives had never met Li Jingjing, they had met Li Jingshu once or twice.

At this time, let them meet, which "Li Jingshu" will they meet? !

One must know that after "Li Jingshu" entered the East Palace, as the Crown Prince Liangdi, it was naturally difficult to see outsiders.At the same time, the real Li Jingshu only needs to be closed and invisible.After one or two years, the faces of the two of them will grow, and then "sisters look similar", they can kill each other.

But now, how dare An family let them see "Li Jingshu"?Isn’t this an extraneous problem?

An's rejects all the wives of officials every day, and even has to reject the wives of officials who are much higher in rank than her, which is really unbearable for her.

Hearing about Li Xuanming's preferential treatment to Aunt Qian and Li Ling, An immediately "sick".

Anshi closed the door to thank the guests.

All of Li's residences spoke in the same way: In spring, it was warm and cold, the wife caught a cold, and the eldest girl was sick, so it was inconvenient to see guests.

This time, An Shi didn't dare to say that "Li Jingshu" was ill, so as not to cause more gossip.So, she had to call herself sick.

As time passed day by day, the Li residence gradually let many servants go out.

Needless to say, those old servants, the Li family gave them money and let them go out.

And those young and young servants were also released, which is a rare thing.

Fortunately, Li's mansion, the home of a fifth-rank official, is not very impressive in the capital. If "Li Jingshu" hadn't been given a marriage, no one would have noticed that Li's mansion released most of the servants in the mansion.

Except for a few people who were extremely trusted by Li Xuanming and An Shi, everyone else left Li's residence one after another.

Among them, the eldest girl and the second girl have several maids who are close to them. Before they left, they were found to have dirty hands and feet. The master Li Xuanming was furious and ordered them to sell them to the farthest bitter cold place.

Not long after, Li Ling and Aunt Qian were left with only one or two ignorant maids.There is still one Xiaochao left.

In this mansion, Li Xuanming, An Shi, Aunt Qian, Li Jingshu, Li Ling, Li Zhi, the five of them all knew why the mansion dismissed the subordinates.

Aunt Qian found Li Xuanming and told him that when "Li Jingshu" entered the palace, she asked Xiaochao to accompany her and serve her.

Li Xuanming hesitated for a moment, and for Aunt Qian's sake, Zhun Xiaochao stayed.

Li Xuanming reminded Xiaochao: "Before doing things, before speaking, think about your own life."

Xiaochao nodded solemnly: "Xiaochao understands!"

There are many fewer people in Li's residence, and the daily life can still be supported, but the guards of the gate are not as reliable as before.

An's personal maid went out several times, but no one noticed.

Not long after, an extra pack of medicine appeared in An's secret compartment.

There is still half a month before "Li Jingshu" enters the palace.

This night, the sky was full of stars, illuminating the whole world like daylight.

The two men in long cloaks sneaked out of the back door of the Li Mansion while the guards at the back door were resting for a while, and stopped not far away in an empty alley.

One of them placed a strange object on the ground.It was a long piece of wood that looked like a bamboo tube.

The man set the wooden product on fire again.

After a few "呲味" sounds, there was a "bang", and the wooden product flew into the sky!

Silently, the wooden product exploded in the sky, turning into blue flames. There were several strange symbols in the flames.

The two looked at the symbols in the sky and remained silent.

Suddenly, a thin figure appeared behind the two of them.

It was Li Ling who quietly followed the two of them.

"Auntie, Xiao Chao," Li Ling stood quietly in the night wind, and said calmly, "What are you doing?"
