proud wife and concubine

"After all, the side concubine is a concubine's room, not my serious sister-in-law. Since you have your own considerations, I won't say much. I can also help you act in this play. If it's true as you said, it's best between two people." Li Yuerong paused, and then said: "If not, you can figure it out yourself, forcing such a good girl to be a concubine, I can't do such a mess."

"That's natural." Li Ke said with a smile.

"What I care about is whose daughter you should marry. Although there are many noble households in Beijing, I pick and choose, but there are only three or four families that I like, but there are two of them expressing their unwillingness. Promise your daughter to the royal family."

"It's not that you don't want to marry into the royal family, it's that the timing is sensitive, so you dare not place a bet. Otherwise, let's not talk about me and Ah Zhen, as stupid as Li Zhi is, everyone must be vying for it." Li Ke replied casually, Didn't realize what was wrong.

"Azhen, Azhen, you call him kind, I think he is more attractive to you than A Xu!" Li Yuerong immediately became angry.

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? It's just a child's call. A Xu and I were born in the same mother's womb, so I can't tell the difference?"

"It's good that you know, let me tell you, I won't let go of these two white-eyed wolves and that slut in the palace. Don't let him think about his childhood love, there is only one seat, Everyone wants to sit, but if he goes up, you have to roll down and die."

"I've known this for a long time. What's wrong with sister today, she's so angry." Li Ke was also a little unhappy when he thought of those old events.

"The news from the palace, Concubine Wei is pregnant, you must know about it too." Li Yuerong rubbed her brows, she has really become a little impetuous recently.

"That's it? Oh, don't talk about whether you can give birth or not. You don't know if you will be born a boy or a girl. It's hard to say how old you will live. My sister is too worried."

"I'm not worried. I'm just angry because the emperor's whole heart is on her. He actually promised Wei Shi that if he gave birth to a prince, he would make her a noble concubine!" He has given birth to several children over the years, but he is only a concubine. I don't think the father wants her to be a noble concubine, but she wants to be a queen!"

This was what Li Yuerong couldn't tolerate the most. When she thought that her father had lied to her mother for so many years because of this woman, and finally made her mother who had just given birth to a younger brother so angry that she became seriously ill, she really wanted to tear the two of them apart.

"In this way, my sister doesn't have to worry. You see who is in charge of the harem now, Concubine Liang is a ruthless character. Concubine Wei is just relying on her father's favor. To be honest, she is not good enough for Concubine Liang. Don't worry, If she becomes a noble concubine, Concubine Liang will be the first to refuse."

"I'm not worried!" Li Yuerong waved her hands after she finished speaking, signaling to stop talking.

Li Ke will not understand this kind of resentment among women, although this "resentment" is often created by men like them.

"Tell me about your marriage. What requirements do you have for a girl? Do you want to marry a beautiful girl, or a talented girl?"

"It's fine if you have good looks and talent. What's important is that you have a good temper. I can't wait for the eldest lady's temper."

"That's easy to say. But I can remind you that marrying a wife is not a child's play. "Wife, Qi Ye", you have to treat your wife as you treat yourself, respect her, love her, and protect her. Not to mention, not only I don't agree, but the law also doesn't allow it. Let's talk about you and Zhao Xu, you should restrain yourself after marriage. It's common for high-ranking officials to favor men, but you two princes and children hang out together. , let people know where to put your face?"

"I know this too, don't worry, I will be the right-hand man of Asu and his wife."

"What about elder sister?" Eldest sister is like a mother, and these words are not bad at all when applied to Li Yuerong, so it is natural to hear it.

"Sister is my blood, brother is my flesh!" Li Ke said with his arms around her neck.

Li Yuerong comforted a little, but also felt a little inexplicably melancholy, and sighed: "I only hope that you will remember today's words for the rest of your life."

----

Li Yuerong left with a smile, and everyone in the Grand Master's Mansion respectfully led her out of the mansion, and watched her get into the carriage and drive away.

When the curtain was lowered, the smile on Li Yuerong's face disappeared, and her expression was gloomy.

Ji Fangting, the granddaughter of Ji Taishi's family, was originally Li Yuerong's favorite candidate.

Among the three princes currently competing for the heir, the disadvantage of the third prince Li Yan is that he is not as talented as his two younger brothers, but he has a reputation for benevolence, and many people in the court are optimistic about him, and his most important bargaining chip is his superb birth mother Liang. Concubine and the Liang family behind her.Concubine Liang was originally Li Ji's dowry to the Liang family, but the Liang family died young and had no children. The Liang family recognized the branch girl as the daughter of the patriarch, and asked Li Ji to help her as the official wife, but Li Ji did not agree. He didn't agree, but married Qiao's.Li Ji's power is growing day by day. A wealthy family like the Liang family naturally has foresight, and has been helping the Li family and the Liang family with all their strength, hoping for unlimited rewards in the future.

Besides, Li Yuerong's younger brother, the fourth prince Li Ke, in the eyes of outsiders, he has more advantages than Li Yan and Li Zhen.First of all, he is the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing, and his name is justified. Secondly, his talent is not inferior to Li Zhen, and even better than Li Yan.Compared with the third elder brother Li Yan and fifth younger brother Li Zhen who were well received by civil officials, Li Ke's advantage lies in the army.First of all, he himself fought Turkic wars outside, and he was a hero in the civil war, and his reputation spread far and wide. In addition, he also has a sister Princess Zhaoyang and brother-in-law Zhao Xu who are very prestigious in the army.In this way, isn't Li Ke sure to win?Of course not, otherwise why is he not the prince now?Li Ke's biggest disadvantage is that his emperor father doesn't want him to be a prince.

As for the fifth son, Zhao Zhen, he has an advantage that his two elder brothers can't catch up with, that is, the emperor's love.There are many reasons why Zhao Zhen is favored. Firstly, the emperor loves her biological mother, Webster, as well as the house and Wu; secondly, he is the most "father Xiao" among all the princes; Shuangquan, cautious in words and deeds, has many praises inside and outside the court.

So things get complicated.

Li Yuerong also knew that his younger brother was supported by the military officials, but he was not as powerful as Li Yan and Zhao Zhen among the civil servants, and this Ji Taishi was born in the imperial examination when Emperor Xiao Wen was, and now he has countless students, and he has been close friends with his father for many years , if you can win them over...

And this time Taishi Ji attached great importance to principles and ethics. Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he wrote a letter to ask Li Ke, the eldest son of the direct line, to be the crown prince as soon as possible.

However, Li Yuerong still missed one point, which was what Ji Fangting herself meant.

She chatted happily with the female relatives in the grand master's mansion, and seeing that both of them were interested in getting married, she proposed to meet Miss Sun, and Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji naturally agreed, and sent someone to invite the lady out.

In terms of appearance alone, Li Yuerong felt that his younger brother was at a disadvantage, because this young lady could only be regarded as having good facial features, and she was really dull.If it was her, she wouldn't want to marry no matter how good it is, Li Yuerong thought, but after all, she didn't marry a wife herself, so she felt that she could make do with it. She didn't believe that Li Ke would not take concubines in the future, so she didn't have to care too much about his appearance.

Li Yuerong thought so, but Ji Fangting didn't appreciate it.Li Yuerong only said a few words to her, and the girl knelt down, kowtowed three times to her mother and grandmother, and said tearfully that she was in love with the fifth prince, and she had made a private appointment for life, and that she would die for the fourth prince. unwilling to marry.

Not to mention Li Yuerong, even the members of Ji's family were shocked to stay on the spot.Mrs. Ji's complexion was ashen, and she slapped her daughter twice immediately. The old lady Ji was already out of breath, and the daughters-in-law and maids were so busy at the same time that they were smooth sailing and shouting at the doctor.

Li Yuerong was on the side, feeling embarrassed at first, and then bored, who knows if these people are acting for her.Although it is more risky to play with the reputation of my young lady, but she has already found her intended husband.In any case, the marriage cannot be concluded.Come on, let's go to Duke Cheng's mansion to have a look.
