proud wife and concubine

"Several letters came from my hometown in Pingzhou, but Ah Weng (meaning father-in-law) doesn't want to come to Beijing?" Li Yuerong asked.

The Zhao family lived in Pingzhou for generations. It is not only a family of scholars, but also a family of Zhongming Dingshi. Since the Liang, Xiao and Zhou dynasties, there have been 22 Jinshi, including two champions and two Tanhua.Zhao Xu's father, Zhao Shi, was the number one scholar in the previous reign of Emperor Xiao Wen, and he is also a highly respected Confucian in today's scholarly circle.Earlier, someone in the court recommended Zhao Shize to offer wine to the Imperial Academy, but Zhao Shize devoted himself to lecturing and writing books since he resigned from office in his early years and returned home. The court said many times that he would not recover from illness, and he seemed to have no intention of becoming an official. That's why Li Yuerong asked this question.

"That's not true. After all, I can't go back as an official in Beijing, and Xiao Shu will have to go to Beijing to take the exam sooner or later. It's just that my father feels that he is old and unable to take up the post of sacrifice, so he only wants to go to a few students under the Imperial College. Lectures in the library." Zhao Xu said in detail, and speaking of it, if his parents brought his younger brother to Beijing, he must live with him... Thinking of this, Zhao Xu felt a headache again, seeing Li Yuerong's face There was no hesitation on the face, and he was slightly relieved.

Well, since the princess is so powerful, there must be no trouble in the mansion.

After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Li Yuerong was thoughtful: Zhao Shi really didn't want to bother, or did he want to be wise and protect himself?

"It's so good. This mansion is spacious, and it looks deserted if it's just you and me." Of course Li Yuerong didn't want to live with his uncle and lose his comfort, but he was helpless.After serving in the army for nearly ten years, Zhao Xu must have hoped to serve in front of his parents.Moreover, filial piety is the most important thing in the world. If Zhao Xu's parents did not live with the eldest son who became a family after they came to the imperial capital, but found another house, I don't know what they would be criticized for. Do not follow.

Seeing Li Yuerong being so reasonable, Zhao Xu felt grateful and relieved.

Besides, Xiao Xueqiong in the deep palace also encountered a troublesome thing recently.

Since she entered the women's labor office, she got along very well with all the little sisters and aunts.Everyone eats, lives and works together, and in their free time, they gather together to talk about what they saw and heard before entering the palace, or interesting stories about the palace now.Xiao Xueqiong had a eccentric personality when she was young, and her brothers and sisters were unwilling to talk to her, and the court ladies and eunuchs respected her because of her status as a princess, and dared not surpass her.Now that she has become a court lady, without the shackles of her status, and because she has expectations in her heart, Xiao Xueqiong is much more lively.

There are many maids in the women's office, but Xiao Xueqiong only gets along with eleven or two people day and night, among them Liu Ya'er and Tu Lan are the two closest to her.But in the past few days, Xiao Xueqiong faintly felt that Turan was alienating herself on purpose.Xiao Xueqiong didn't know where she offended her, and she couldn't bear to ask, but she was secretly sad.

Yesterday, several little sisters gathered in the gazebo to chat, and Turan was the last to come.At that time Xiao Xueqiong was sitting next to Liu Ya'er, there was still a large stone step on the right hand side.But after Turan glanced blankly, he sat down directly with the people across from him.While everyone was chatting and laughing, Xiao Xueqiong tried to talk to her several times, but she didn't answer.

Xiao Xueqiong was both aggrieved and angry, and secretly made up her mind not to make fun of herself anymore.But at night, before the other people in the house came back, I still couldn't help complaining to Liu Ya'er.Before Xiao Xueqiong asked Liu Ya'er if she had offended Turan somewhere, Liu Ya'er only said that Xiao Xueqiong was suspicious and Xiao Xueqiong was skeptical, but now it was confirmed, Turan had turned against her.

"You don't have to take her to heart, I guess she is just jealous of you. Before you came, she was the most outstanding in the whole women's house except me. After you came, everyone liked you, and the princess Naturally, she will not be happy to take care of you." Liu Ya'er said while smearing reddish balm on her lips in front of the mirror.This balm was originally gifted to Xiao Xueqiong by Li Yuerong, Liu Ya'er couldn't put it down after trying it once, so she coquettishly begged Xiao Xueqiong to give it to her, Xiao Xueqiong thought that there was still a box in her closet, so she agreed.

Hearing what Liu Ya'er said, Xiao Xueqiong was very surprised, because Liu Ya'er had the closest relationship with Turan before she came.Also...Xiao Xueqiong thinks that Turan looks better than Liu Ya'er, but she will definitely not tell Liu Ya'er about this.

"You don't believe it?" Seeing Xiao Xueqiong's suspicious expression, Liu Ya'er asked.Without waiting for Xiao Xueqiong to answer, she continued: "Tulan is a beard, you can tell by her appearance. She was sent by a small country of ours in the previous dynasty. I have forgotten the name, but she said that her mother country was taken by other people. When the country invaded, Emperor Xiao sent the Li family stationed in the northwest to solve the siege, so you see, every time Turan looks at the princess' eyes~ the princess, and she cares so much about you, isn't it natural for her to be unhappy?"

Xiao Xueqiong didn't know that Tu Lan and Sister Yuerong had such a relationship, what Liu Ya'er said seemed reasonable, but Xiao Xueqiong disagreed.She believed that Turan was not such a narrow-minded person, but it was because of this belief that she felt sad for this withered friendship.

Xiao Xueqiong bowed her head and said nothing, Liu Ya'er saw that she believed her, looking at her pure and delicate face in the bronze mirror, Liu Ya'er smiled sweetly.

In late spring, the weather was hotter day by day, and the warm sun made people lazy and hot, so Xiao Xueqiong drank several bowls of water during the day.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Xueqiong, who woke up from her sleep, wanted to get up to relieve herself, when she heard a strange sound in a trance, like someone moaning in pain.Xiao Xueqiong thought she had heard it wrong, and when she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, she glanced at the bed opposite her, and immediately covered her mouth in fright.

The two naked women were entangled together, and the thin was thrown to the ground, and the sound of groaning and rubbing came intermittently.No matter how dull Xiao Xueqiong was, she knew that those two people were doing something upside down. Seeing that they didn't notice her, Xiao Xueqiong quickly wrapped herself in the quilt and lay down, pretending that nothing happened.

Xiao Xueqiong, who was covered in the quilt, was hot and shy, a little curious in embarrassment, couldn't help but secretly glanced towards the opposite side, and finally saw the appearance of the two people clearly, one was Lan, who was sleeping on the bed opposite her. Auntie, and the other is Jiu'er who is separated by several beds.Only then did Xiao Xueqiong realize that Liu Ya'er once said that the deep palace is lonely, except that women are eunuchs, there are court ladies and eunuchs who form "companions", and there are palace maids who form "companions" with court ladies. Aunt Lan and Jiu'er are probably what she was talking about. Is that so?

It was night, Xiao Xueqiong was holding back her urine so much that she couldn't bear the pain, until the two of them calmed down and went to rest, they pretended to just wake up and got up to urinate.

As usual, after Li Yuerong entered the palace, he first went to pay his respects to his father. Unexpectedly, he ran into Li Zhen and Li Zhi brothers. The three naturally acted like sisters, friends and brothers in front of Li Ji. The people withdrew together.

Li Yuerong didn't want to say a word about these two white-eyed wolf brothers who were brought up by her own mother.It's just that the two of them were going to visit their biological mother - the former housewife Wei Shi and now Concubine Wei, and Li Yuerong was going to visit the eldest brother and third sister's biological mother Li Fei, and the residence of these two happened to be on the way.

Li Zhen and Li Zhi are twins. They were too similar to each other when they were young, so it was hard to tell them apart. But after more than ten years, due to their different personalities and hobbies, the only similarities in their bodies are the outlines of their facial features.Li Zhencheng's mansion is extremely deep, happiness and anger are not visible in color, and he is extremely self-disciplined, not close to wine.In all fairness, apart from his gloomy temperament, Li Zhen is top-notch among all the princes of the royal family and aristocratic families in terms of appearance and talent.And his twin brother Li Zhi is much inferior, with a frivolous temperament, a good skin also looks sick due to indulging in wine and sex, and he only has a little cleverness in his belly, without any big plans, he is a typical dude.

On the way the three of them walked together, Li Zhen was silent and Li Yuerong only strode forward, but Li Zhi was laughing and commenting on a few palace maids passing by.

"Eldest sister, you left in such a hurry, could it be that you are in a hurry to see sister Xueqiong in Yeting?" Li Zhi asked maliciously.

For Li Zhi's name "Sister Xueqiong", Li Yuerong really disliked it indescribably, and replied coldly: "Where, I'm just anxious to see Yuyao."

"Oh, speaking of it, sister Xueqiong is also a poor person. When I saw her in Jiangzhou that day, I thought she was a celestial girl. It's a pity that such a beautiful woman has now become a laundry maid."

Li Yuerong didn't pay attention.

"Fortunately, elder sister, you still remember the friendship you had when you were young, and you took good care of her. As a younger brother, I also want to share the worries of elder sister." Li Zhi admired his arrogance while playing with the jade wrench in his hand. What annoyed look would appear on the face of the defiant sister.

To his disappointment, Li Yuerong's expression remained the same, and after walking straight to the corner of the corridor, he parted ways with the two of them.

Concubine Li made the tea herself, Li Yuerong took a sip and praised: "Concubine Li's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Concubine Li sighed: "My aunt still called you Yuerong as usual, but you didn't see it, so you directly called your mother."

"Yuerong is just taking into account the etiquette in the palace, and she has absolutely no intention of being out of touch. Forget it, I'd better call you aunt, it's awkward to call you aunt." Li Yuerong smiled.

Only then did Concubine Li calm down, she smiled slightly, and the fine lines around her eyes also appeared.

"Auntie is used to living in this place now?"

"There's nothing I'm not used to, but I will follow wherever your father is." Concubine Li said while helping Li Yuerong with cakes, "It's your elder brother who came back from the northwest and went back after staying in Beijing for a few days. Anton. I don’t know if he’s used to the bitter cold in the Northeast.” The son traveled thousands of miles and the mother was worried, and Concubine Li’s sorrow was so intense that she couldn’t get rid of it.

Li Yuerong comforted: "My aunt doesn't have to worry, my elder brother has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is strong and strong, so there is no danger. Besides, although Anton is cold, the situation is far less tense than in the northwest, so Auntie can rest assured."

"I hope, it's just that your brother hasn't lived a stable life at home for many years, and at such an advanced age, he doesn't even have an heir. Your father is so cruel!" Concubine Li's eyes were red, obviously very wronged.

Li Yuerong hurriedly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, this is different from the past, remember to be careful with your words and deeds, you can't be like you used to be at home."

Concubine Li also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and patted Li Yuerong's hand to signal that she understood.

"Go and play with your sister, she's bored in the palace all day long."

"Well, I'll go right away, Auntie must take care of her body."

After Li Yuerong left Concubine Li, she went to visit her third younger sister Li Yuyao.Li Yuyao is just 13 years old this year, the same age as Xiao Xueqiong, coincidentally, the palace she lives in now is Xiao Xueqiong's residence when she was a princess, Li Yuerong also lived here with Xiao Xueqiong for a while when she was young.

At that time, Empress Xiao chose two attendants for her daughter, Princess Qinghe, one was Li Yuerong, and the other was Lu Weishuang, the granddaughter of the Prime Minister at that time and the daughter of Dali Siqing.

Apart from studying together, the three of them spend the rest of their time playing and fooling around with other princes and princesses. This is why Li Yuerong met Xiao Xueqiong. She always likes to hide in a corner alone, and Li Yuerong likes to tease her out to play together. .Thinking about it now, it was indeed a carefree day.

It was only later that Princess Qinghe passed away due to smallpox, and after the fall of the Xiao Dynasty, Xiao Xueqiong became a palace maid, and Li Yuerong became the princess.As for Lu Weishuang, the Lu family disappeared after being convicted of treason.A few days ago, I met by chance, and actually changed my name to work as a policeman in Changlefang, the Imperial Capital.

Qionglou Yuyu is still the same, carved railings and jade brickwork are still there, but things are different, Li Yuerong is deeply moved.

The author has something to say: the author is blind to history, and often kneads the content he fabricated with the real things in history, writing in four different ways, which is called "overhead".It’s okay for everyone to be happy after watching it, and it’s okay to laugh at it, but don’t take it seriously, especially the children who are still in school, otherwise the author will commit a heinous crime!

For example, in the text, the parents-in-law are called "A Weng and Grandma". In the Tang Dynasty, some people called their father-in-law "A Weng", but the mother-in-law is not "Grandma".

In addition, everyone, don't leave a message for collection!Although the author is slow to update...but I still have an ambition to improve the speed of code words!

Don't despise me!
