Come on, Your Highness

The news of Princess He Mingrui Shang surprised many people, but he was not an important person, and no one paid much attention to him.

However, the Li family seemed to have heard a bad news. Mrs. Li took Li Zuhui to kneel in front of Mrs. Li, and said angrily and sadly: "Mother, it was He Mingrui who pushed Huier in front of Huier, and your eldest grandson did it." Such a major event of beheading. I thought we were on the same boat, and we were still trying to figure out how to tide over the difficulties together, but look, the daughter you love in the palm of your hand, it’s so good, you gave it to yourself secretly without saying hello My son has found a way out. Eldest princess, there is really no better talisman than her in the world. But what about Huier? My daughter-in-law doesn't want to speak ill, but what my aunt did is really disgusting!"

Mrs. Li sat on the chair with a face full of frost, her distraught expression had already revealed her upset, but after all, she was a daughter, she still reluctantly explained: "The emperor wants to recruit Mingrui as his son-in-law, Yuxi can't refuse, right?" .”

Young Madam Li sneered when she heard the words, "The emperor is recruiting a son-in-law, why was there no news before? Mother, you are still speaking for her at this moment, the noble concubine keeps her words tight, otherwise we would have known about it long ago!"

"But what if we know?"

Mrs. Li raised her head and said: "He Mingrui can marry the princess, so why can't Huier marry?"

But now where is there another princess of the right age to propose?

"Mother, He Mingrui is the companion of the third prince. What happened, the third prince begged for mercy, and Wei Guogong was there, so he wouldn't lose his head. But what does Zu Hui have? But a married daughter and grandson?" Mrs. Li cried out, holding her son in tears, "Our mother and son are really suffering..."

Li Zuhui looked haggard. During this period of time, it seemed as if a knife was hanging around his neck, which kept him in fear. He lost a lot of weight. He was not as energetic as when he was entertaining He Xichao. He kowtowed and said: " Grandmother, all my mistakes are my grandson's fault, thinking about defending my cousin, but not thinking about it and hurting the family, my grandson is really unfilial."

His eyes were red and sunken, as if falling leaves in the wind, "Grandson also wants to understand, when it comes to that time, grandson will bear it all, and will never hurt the family, grandma, mother, don't blame aunt With my cousin, they can't take care of themselves, how can they still think of me..."

These words made Madam Li unable to sit still any longer. She had a sore nose, stood up and helped Li Zuhui up, and said with red eyes: "Hui'er, even if grandma tries her best, she can't let you have trouble. Don't be afraid, you will There is a way, there will be..."

"But what else can I do, is it possible to ask He Xichao?" Mrs. Li asked.

Mrs. Li's expression froze, she immediately squeezed Li Zuhui's hand, she said: "If that's the case, I can only bend my knees. But after all, there is no way out, this is a major matter of the Li family, we can't hide it from the master anymore."

Li Shilang is in a good mood, and the Minister of the Household Department had a detailed talk with him today, and his words were full of support and support.

Hubu Shangshu is old and has long planned to beg for bones.The Ministry of Households is the top three, and it is the most expensive under the Ministry of Officials. I don't know how many people are staring at the position of the Shangshu.

Although the emperor still has the final say, if the original Shangshu can recommend more, Li Shilang's chances of winning will be a little bit higher.

However, when he returned home, saw his son, daughter-in-law and grandson kneeling in the hall, and heard Mrs. Li explain the reason, his eyes were instantly darkened.

What?The thing about the Xishan paddock was actually his grandson's idea!

"Hui'er and Ming Rui only wanted to teach He Xichao a lesson. I didn't expect that the eldest prince...the eldest prince would directly confront that blind bear." Madam Li couldn't continue.

"A lesson?" Li Shilang really wanted to pick up his grandson's head and shake it vigorously to see if it contained tofu dregs.

Even if it's all about He Xichao, can the emperor still listen to the explanation?Who doesn't know that the eldest prince and He Xichao are inseparable, what is the difference between the two?

No matter how much the Three Princes hope that the eldest prince will have an accident tomorrow and die.

But that was just thinking about what to do after waking up.

Who would want to secretly murder the prince's life, isn't that courting death?This is a serious crime involving the ancestors, relatives and friends, and the whole family.

Li Shilang really never expected that his grandson, together with his grandson, would be so bold as to do such a thing.

His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at Li Zuhui, who was lying on the ground with his head hanging down, not daring to say a word. He forced himself to calm down, sorted out his clues, and asked coldly: "It has been more than three years since this incident, and you guys just came here today?" tell me why?"

Li Zuhui's body trembled, and he didn't dare to look up. Li Shilang's eyes swept over the faces of his wife and son and daughter-in-law, "Let's talk, since you can no longer hide it from me, it can be seen that things have reached the worst point, why, Was discovered, who is it?"

Mrs. Li couldn't hesitate, and said softly: "He Xichao."

Li Shilang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. Mrs. Li quickly said: "Not necessarily, he may not know, it's just our guess. After the person who was sent by the old lady of Wei Guogong's mansion to silence him succeeded, he was afraid of making poisonous hands. It's gone, but its whereabouts are still unknown..."

Li Shilang flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "Naive! You are in his hands, you idiots, your throats are pinched in his hands, and you are only telling me now!"

"Master, now that Mingrui has appointed the princess, there is a glimmer of hope. Duke Wei's mansion is closely connected with the eldest prince and He Xichao, so there may not be anything wrong, but what about our Li manor, Hui'er? He Xichao hasn't moved yet, but it doesn't mean there hasn't been any, He holds her in his hand, fearing that he will use this to blackmail the Li family in the future...Master, He Xichao will not care about his family's affection."

"I was trembling in the court, and I didn't dare to be careless in my errands. I was afraid that one day I would offend the emperor and lose my black hat. You are better, because I am afraid that the mansion will be too comfortable and the life will be too peaceful. It's something..." Li Shilang murmured, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he shouted, "Come on, let's start a family law."

"Master!" Mrs. Li exclaimed.

Mrs. Li even prostrated herself on the ground, crying and begging: "Father, don't, Hui'er knows he's wrong, he already knows it's wrong! He doesn't dare to do it again! The young master has already beaten him, and if he tries to use family law again, he will be punished." Killed him!"

Young Master Li scolded after hearing the words: "Shut up, for doing such a thing, killing this traitor is not an exaggeration, if you don't teach me a lesson, the entire Li Manor will be in his hands!"

Mrs. Li Shao was scolded, but she hugged Li Zuhui tightly and refused to let go.

Mrs. Li was very distressed, but she knew that if Li Shilang didn't get angry, the matter would not be over, so she didn't say anything.

Li Zuhui raised his face, the corners of his mouth were already swollen, it can be seen that he was beaten by his father, he kowtowed to Li Shilang and said: "Grandfather, grandson is unfilial, offending parents, grandparents are angry, not to mention being punished, grandson is life , as long as they don't cause trouble for the Li family, they are willing to kill them head on. It's just... grandson, grandson hasn't fulfilled his filial piety, he hasn't shared the burden for his parents, he hasn't shared the worries of his grandfather. ..."

After all, this is the eldest grandson. Li Shilang has always had great expectations for him. To come up with this idea shows that Li Zuhui is also active and intelligent, and he is very fond of him on weekdays.

It would be Li Shilang's pride if he didn't cause such a big trouble.

Li Shilang looked at Li Zuhui, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and looked at himself in despair. After all, he couldn't bear it, and angrily said: "Both of you, father and son, go to the ancestral hall to kneel and repent to your ancestors."

"Yes, father." Young Master Li's expression changed, and he quickly kowtowed to Li Zuhui.

Li Zuhui touched his head to the ground, "Thank you, grandfather."

The two father and son hurried down.

Li Shilang sat down on the chair, Mrs. Li held the tea and handed it to him, sighed: "Master, what should I do?"

Li Shilang glanced at her, and couldn't help complaining: "You too, how can you hide such a big matter from me?"

"I was afraid that the master would punish Hui'er, so I didn't say anything. Besides, if He Xichao really wanted to expose him, he wouldn't be in a good position. With Ming Rui in front, he wasn't afraid at all. He was just trying to find a way to restrain him. But he didn't expect Yuxi made a secret plan for Mingrui, and after marrying the princess, she can't sit still as a concubine."

Li Shilang sneered and said: "The water thrown out by the married daughters is the same. If I have no choice, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Kneeling and begging, I have to let Xi Chao take Zuhui's life for Yuechan's sake." Mrs. Li laughed at herself, "It's just that our Li family has completely become a line in his hands. Whatever happens."

Li Shilang's eyes darkened, and he let out a breath.

"The imperial concubine doesn't seem to know yet." Mrs. Li said suddenly.

Li Shilang looked at him sideways and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

"I originally wanted to marry Qian'er to Mingrui so that I could get closer, but now this marriage is naturally impossible, so Qian'er, where is Yuechan..."

Li Shilang thought about it, but raised his hand to stop her, and said, "Don't think about Xichao, he won't marry Qian'er, and Yuechan doesn't have that much ability to make his son obedient."

"Have to try."

Li Shilang shook his head, "You don't need to humiliate yourself, we have no sympathy with him, and now we are looking at Yuechan's face without tearing up our face. Qian'er... I have my own plan. Today, Lord Shangshu has written a letter to beg for bones , let me make more preparations."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "Master Shang Shu, do you mean to ask Master to take his place?"

"It's up to the emperor to decide whether it will happen or not. I wanted to wait and see what happens, but now it seems that I can't wait anymore. For Zu Hui's marriage, tomorrow I will go to Wang Ge to propose marriage and ask to marry his granddaughter."

"Of course that's good. Wang Ge always valued the master, and would definitely be willing to marry his granddaughter and become an in-law. It is also appropriate to support and recommend the master."

Li Shilang smiled lightly, "When I become the Minister of the Household Department, I don't know if the imperial concubine is willing to make this marriage."

If you can't marry a princess, it's the same if you become a prince's wives. At that time, the third prince will never abandon the power of his wives, right?

Today in the court, the Minister of the Household Department bid farewell to the emperor and returned home.

Emperor Tiangan immediately rejected his begging for bones, and asked the old minister to think again and continue to serve the country, sincerely expressing that he could not do without his support.

But everyone knows that it will be a matter of time before the Hubu Shangshu leaves, and now it is just a matter of three pushes and three invitations.

When Xiao Hong went down to court, he didn't go back directly to the Yingwang Palace, but rode out of the Xuanwu Gate and arrived at the farm in the northern suburbs.

This year's spring plowing and planting change, the tenants took the rewards and exchanged the wheat in the field for cotton. It was the first time they planted, and everyone was very concerned about it.

He Xichao even went to the farm every three days.

Xiao Hong found no one in Zhuangzi, so he went to the field.

The tenants were all there, and there were many people gathered. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, someone shouted: "His Royal Highness is coming!"

So people knelt down to salute him one after another.

Xiao Hong got off his horse, waved his hands in reluctance, and strode up to the field ridge, walking towards the man who was squatting in the field and smiling back at him.

The spring in February is still cool, and the sun is not good today. Hiding in the clouds, the gloomy sky affects people's mood.

But Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao's raised eyebrows, the slight dimples on his lips, and the straightforward joy on his face made him seem to be shrouded in the sunshine of March, bright and warm.

He Xi waved at him and shouted: "Come here quickly, I'll show you the surprise."

So Xiao Hong quickened his pace, and regardless of the court uniform he was wearing, he stepped into the field and walked straight towards He Xichao.

"Follow the line and don't step on the seeds." He Xichao reminded.

"know."

While speaking, Xiao Hong came to He Xichao's side and squatted down.

He Xichao was covering one place with his hands, and when he saw him, he opened it up, "Look, the seedlings have sprouted."

Joy is really a very simple thing.

I have been paying attention to it since it was planted until now, and now there is finally a movement.

Xiao Hong couldn't help reaching out to touch the seedling, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy."

He Xichao said: "It's really not easy to bring it from the Western Regions to the capital and plant it on this land."

Xiao Hong stood up and looked around, "Xi Chao, there are also there."

He stretched out his hand, pulled He Xichao up, and pointed at the corner of Fang Tian, ​​the green bud that was showing its head timidly.

As long as you see one place, you can find them one by one, just like finding stars in the sky in the dark night.

The first step in this cotton field was calculated to be successful.
