proud wife and concubine

Dijing.

Li Yuerong half-lyed on the splendid flower bed, resting her forehead in one hand and holding the cup in the other, taking a light sip absently from time to time.It is more than clear, but not full-bodied, which is quite different from the fine wines in Northwest China.I don't know what to think of, this newly promoted Tianjiao noble lady who has been admired by everyone in Beijing recently frowned unhappily, and directly threw the copper animal horn cup on the desk, and there was a loud "bang".

The singer who was playing the piano and singing was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to confess her crime.

"But this song is not to Madam's liking, how about replacing Qiong'er to dance for Madam?" asked Xiaodie, a maid beside her.She had been serving Li Yuerong for some time, and she knew that Li Yuerong would not vent her anger on others at will, so she was not very panicked.

Unexpectedly, the word "Qiong'er" hit Li Yuerong's depression, which made Li Yuerong even more unhappy.

"Go down." Li Yuerong waved impatiently, then called Xiaodie as if remembering something.

"What is that Qiong'er, let her change her name."

In this era, all the divas supported by high-ranking officials belong to the humble family, and life and death are just a matter of a word from the master, not to mention such a small matter as changing her name, Xiaodie naturally agrees to it.

The room returned to silence, and Li Yuerong was slowly picking some long nails.In the past, in order to facilitate martial arts and marching, nails were often cut off.But now, opportunities to gallop on the battlefield may be hard to find.In the final analysis, but because she is a woman, how can those men who pride themselves as pillars in the Eguan Bo in the court tolerate her?

She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has strategies. She thinks she can't lose to men. Before her father raised the army, she followed her brothers to guard the border with her father. After her father raised the army, she made great military achievements.Unexpectedly, when her father became emperor, she would turn to warn her, "As an emperor daughter, she should be a husband and son, serve her aunt, and be a woman of the world."

Hehe, she really wanted to ask her father: When you were trapped in Langshan Mountain and asked me to lead the army to rescue you, why didn't you tell me to stay in the inner house to care for your husband and teach your children?

Today, the new emperor summoned his confidant Humerus to attend the enthronement ceremony at the chamber of commerce in the palace, but she was not called.The second elder brother, who was as bored as she was, and the sixth younger brother, who was incompetent, could speak loudly in court, and it was even more difficult for Li Yuerong to swallow this breath.

And this chamber of commerce will inevitably involve how to deal with the former royal family, Xiao Xueqiong is among them, this is what worries Li Yuerong the most.

The original intention of the father was to treat the members of the Xiao family well. Firstly, the Xiao family was the in-laws of the Li family, and secondly, it could demonstrate the benevolence of the new dynasty and bring the world back.However, the ministers have doubts about this: Emperor Xiao is not benevolent, he has lost the hearts of the people, there are many riots in various places, the Li family is originally a nobleman of the Xiao Dynasty, if they treat the Xiao family favorably now, it may be difficult to convince the public.

Li Yuerong knew his father too well, the Li family's success today was inseparable from his "respectful and virtuous corporal, open up and accept advice".At the end of the discussion, I am afraid that nine out of ten will adopt the opinions of the ministers.

Now, she can only pray that her father would remember Emperor Xiao's kindness to him and not make things difficult for Xiao Xueqiong.

It's just that I and Sister Xueqiong met at the wrong time, surrounded by soldiers, and Li Zhi, a bad guy, but the two who were dazzled by joy couldn't wait to recognize each other.If Xueqiong could be found and taken out of the palace before no one knew, how would there be such a mess today!

"Ma'am, the general has returned to the mansion, and the fourth prince is also here." A maid outside the door announced loudly.

Li Yuerong hurriedly got up to greet her, her hair was slightly disheveled and she didn't care to tidy it up.

"What's the matter! What did the emperor say?" Zhao Xufu was stopped by his "wife" as soon as he entered the door and questioned.

Before entering the palace today, Li Yuerong repeatedly reminded him of his orders, and Zhao Xuqiang, who was a dragon on the battlefield and a sleeping insect in the hall, was energetic and listened seriously from beginning to end.It's just that the ministers expressed their opinions and disagreed, and the emperor didn't make a conclusion, so Zhao Xu was still at a loss until the meeting ended, unable to figure out what the emperor meant.

"Er....it's not decided yet, maybe it's okay..." He faltered.

"I really can't hold back a fart in three sentences!" Li Yuerong was so angry at this lump, she didn't know that her younger brother had a crush on him!

"Tell me!" Li Yuerong turned to ask her own mother's younger brother, Li Ke, who was the fourth brother in the family.

Knowing that his sister was in a hurry, Li Ke was not as mischievous as in the past, and said bluntly: "According to the last tone of the father, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped. I guess the male will be exiled, and the female crime will be reduced according to the law. Not enslaved, there is a shortage of people in the palace." Seeing Zhao Xu who was blushing because of being ridiculed, he pinched his face in a wicked way, and then saw the other party's face blushing even more with satisfaction.

These two people are so shameless, if in the past Li Yuerong would give each of them a slap, lest they show their appearance in front of outsiders one day and cause disaster.It's just that at this time, knowing that Xiao Xueqiong might become a maidservant, she was naturally worried and didn't care about the two of them.

Although there are many brothers and sisters in the family, they are not close to each other. Among the eleven children of the Li family, only the elder sister Li Yuerong and the younger brother Li Xu share the same mother as Li Ke, and they have the closest relationship.In fact, from the standpoint of the prince of the new dynasty, Li Ke also felt that the members of the Xiao clan should be severely punished to win over the hearts of the people, but his sister was too concerned about his cousin who had only met him a few times when he was young, so he had no choice but to let his father In front of the "painful statement of interests", I begged my father to treat the former clan well.

Seeing that his sister was worried at this moment, Li Ke naturally wanted to comfort her with words: "Sister, don't worry, where will the green mountains be left to worry about no firewood. Sister Xueqiong has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she must be ignorant of worldly affairs. She can save her life and stay in the palace. It might not be a good thing. Now that the new dynasty is just established, everyone is naturally staring at her, after a while the limelight has passed, find a reason to get her out of the palace, and change her status to a good one."

Li Yuerong felt that it was reasonable and relieved a lot, and sighed: "That's the only way to go."

"By the way, today there is still the matter of the courtiers proposing the establishment of the reserve." Li Ke kept his voice extremely low, making sure that only the two people around him could hear it.

Li Yuerong's heart skipped a beat, just to be on the safe side, she still led Li Ke into the inner room to talk.Zhao Xu naturally followed in. He and Li Yuerong were just a couple in name, but they seemed more reserved than Li Ke after entering, for fear of offending Li Yuerong.

"What did the emperor say?" Li Yuerong asked.

"What else can I say, but I just said some high-sounding words to prevaricate." Li Ke sneered.

Li Yuerong also sneered: "Isn't he thinking about those two little bastards?"

Li Yuerong's father's name is Li Ji, and he has seven sons and four daughters.Before he took the throne, Li Ji was also like the sons of the nobles. When he learned about the affairs, he took in two housemates. The two daughters gave birth to a son for him, namely Li Yuerong's eldest brother Li Chu and second brother Li Mian. At the age of 15, Li Ji married the daughter of an important official of the Xiao Dynasty, Liang Shi, the younger sister of Empress Xiao, but Liang Shi was ill-fated and died of dystocia, and the child was not kept.During this period, Liang's dowry maid gave birth to another son for Li Ji, who was Li Yuerong's third brother Li Yan.Two years later, Li Ji married Qiao Shi, the daughter of a prominent Yizhou family. Qiao gave birth to a daughter and two sons, Li Ji's eldest daughter Li Yuerong, fourth son Li Ke, and seventh son Li Xu.

It is worth mentioning that, less than a year after Mrs. Qiao gave birth to Li Ke, Li Ji brought a pair of twin babies from outside, saying that they were the posthumous children of a deceased friend. .Although Qiao had some doubts, she still recognized the two children as parents at Li Ji's request.She didn't realize it when she was young, but she didn't know that the two children grew more and more like Li Ji. Later, Qiao realized that she was deceived by her husband and accepted the son of the outer room as a legitimate son for nothing.These two children are the two little bastards in Li Yuerong's mouth, Li Ji's fifth son Li Zhen and sixth son Li Zhi.After Qiao's death due to illness, Li Jicai took the two's biological mothers back to the Li family as concubines.

As for Li Ji's other three daughters, they were all born of concubines.Therefore, in the final analysis, Li Ke is the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing, and there is no doubt that he will inherit the family business according to the law, but now that the family business has become a country, there are more opportunities to do things, especially in Li Ke. Ji himself also has such a wish.

"In my opinion, the sixth brother won't make it, but the fifth brother is still a bit of a joke." Speaking of shocking events such as fighting for the crown prince, Li Ke still smiled at Yan Yan.

Li Yuerong rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Really? I think the third brother has a better chance of winning. Although his city is not as good as the fifth brother, he has a smart biological mother."

Zhao Xu listened carefully and tried hard to digest.

"So, it doesn't matter whether it's the third brother or the fifth brother. Let's watch the show slowly." Li Ke held his chin and winked at his sister, and Li Yuerong gave her a flick of the head.

"Sister, do you want to bet with me?" Li Ke rubbed his head and said, sister's hand strength is really not bragging.It's really risky to be cute, so you need to be cautious when teasing your sister.

Li Yuerong sat lazily on the wooden chair, knocking on her legs, looking like a female hooligan: "What are you betting on?"

"If brother, I am lucky, whether it is a country or a beauty, I will definitely ask my sister for anything; if my brother loses, I just hope that sister will not dislike Zhuang Zhuang and lead him to live a peaceful life."

Zhuang Zhuang is the nickname of Zhao Xu, the "head of the family" who is on the side as the background board. He was obviously shocked by Li Ke's words, and he held Li Ke's hand tightly and kept talking, regardless of his wife who was still on the side. : "No, no... I don't agree...."

Li Ke held him back, but didn't answer. He just looked at his sister fixedly. He needed an answer that would allow him to fight hard without any worries.

Li Yuerong raised her eyes, without any hesitation or retreat: "I won't bet with you, because sister won't let you lose."

She had expected this day a long time ago. From the day she was discharged from the military, she knew what kind of scheming his father was hiding behind the warning to "be a husband and a son".

It's just that, father, you seem to have forgotten that I am not only your daughter, but also the daughter of my mother, and I am also the eldest sister of Li Ke and Li Xu.

Oh, by the way, I still boast that Haikou will protect Sister Xueqiong's Sister Yuerong.
