Jiang Changdai originally didn't want Liu Meier to be a son-in-law again, after all, once she got married, she was destined to be tied to the same boat with herself again.

The royal family can never escape from court battles, and even she is inevitably involved in various disputes.

So when she learned that Liu Meier was framed, Jiang Changdai was very annoyed that she didn't invalidate Liu Meier's ranking in the imperial examination last year.

If she didn't have a ranking, she wouldn't have to work in the palace, and she wouldn't be in the dangerous situation she is now.

But the world is unpredictable, the undercurrents in the court are far more urgent than Jiang Changdai expected, even if he has repeatedly postponed the progress, it seems that he still can't keep her out of the matter.

In midsummer, the afternoon sun was scorching hot, but Jiang Changdai felt a severe chill on her back.

Because Jiang Changdai has been suppressing the request of the Yuan family, the treatment of Liu Meier has not been decided.

For the palace banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Changdai specially invited the children of the Yuan family and the wife and daughters of the Yuan family to the palace for the festival.

Yuan Xing's right leg has been suffering from an old disease, and most of the weekdays he is on crutches. He complains about his dissatisfaction with drinking, and his wife and children even cry about injustice.

The palace banquet suddenly turned into crying, and even Empress Yuan kept mentioning her dead brother, the emperor was at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Changdai drank by herself, while the strong man wearing a mask saw the opportunity and jumped to the high platform with a knife. Suddenly, countless strong men in the same costume raised their long tasseled swords and fought with each other, causing countless people to panic.

Everyone in the Yuan family hid under the table in fright, only Yuan Xing met Jiang Changdai's gaze.

Between swords, lights and swords, all the guards lined up in unison. Empress Yuan was terrified but she still didn't lose her manners. She just said: "When the Mid-Autumn Festival is reunited, how can there be a bad luck for dancing swords and guns?"

The emperor knew the news of the elder sister in advance, so he calmly replied: "Everyone, don't panic, this is a dance of calling back souls, which can comfort the spirits of the dead. I am also deeply saddened by the incident of Yuan Luo, so I mourn for her with a special funeral. .”

After the banquet was over, the Yuan family didn't dare to stay longer and left the palace early.

Yuan Xing lost his temper when he returned to the mansion, broke his crutch halfway and scolded angrily: "What kind of shit is this gift for summoning souls, it is clearly a blow to power!"

"Master, don't be angry, the emperor doesn't seem like someone with such thoughts." Madam Yuan served tea in fear.

"The emperor is an idiot, it's shameful to be led by the nose by a woman!" Yuan Xing couldn't tell that the banquet was clearly done by the eldest princess.

It's just that Yuan Xing didn't understand why the eldest princess wanted to help outsiders. The Liu family is not a big family. Not to mention killing Liu Mei'er, even if he took away all the old and young people of the Liu family, it would not be enough to pay for his own life!

At the beginning, Yuan Xing was able to endure the great bullying by Prince Qin and his son, so naturally he will never let it go now!

And Jiang Changdai also knew that the Yuan family would not stop there, this banquet was just to tell the Yuan family not to bully others too much.

Yuan Luo and other young masters received a great funeral ceremony, which is no longer the treatment given to ordinary aristocratic families.

It rained more and more in the late autumn, and because Liu's father was afraid of the Yuan family's revenge, he was uneasy all day long and fell ill, so he simply asked for leave to recuperate in the mansion.

The court has a bath every five days, and the officials will have a day off. On this day, Liu Meier accompanied Mrs. Chang to serve at the sick bed.

Father Liu coughed non-stop, and couldn't stop cursing: "You rebellious son, it's really embarrassing!"

Liu Meier looked at the sick and weak Father Liu, but she had no feelings in her heart, she just felt that this person was pitiful.

In the evening Liu Meier accompanied Chang's for dinner, Chang's was getting older and his teeth were not as sharp as before, so he could only eat soft porridge and rice.

"Now that your father looks like this, he is probably out of breath. The doctor only said to rest well. Don't blame yourself too much."

Afraid that the child would be worried, Chang made it clear in advance.

"Yeah." Liu Meier was eating tofu, while still thinking about the marriage that Sister Dai mentioned last time, why there is no news yet?

Moreover, the Yuan family seems to have stopped recently, and all this quietness is a bit unusual.

Seeing the child in a daze, Chang asked, "You have always loved meat, but now you love tofu so much?"

Liu Meier looked at the tofu in the bowl and said, "Tofu is delicious when soaked in soup."

"But you've lost weight recently. Could it be that things in the palace are not going your way?" Chang was worried that her child would be bullied, and she was also anxious all day long. "If the palace doesn't want to see you, then please resign."

"It's okay." Liu Mei'er knew that Chang's love for her, but if she lost this official position, Liu's father would probably beat her to death.

It was approaching New Year's Eve in late autumn and winter, and even beggars were reluctant to approach the bustling Liu Mansion in the past, as if the people in the capital were afraid of bad luck.

Liu Meier entered the palace wrapped in thick winter clothes as usual, but the academicians of the Imperial Academy suddenly approached with enthusiasm: "Congratulations, Master Xiaoliu."

"What?" Liu Meier looked blankly at the bachelors who were too late to hide from her, thinking that they were playing tricks on her?

"The Holy Majesty personally bestowed the marriage between Lord Xiaoliu and Princess Eldest. Congratulations."

The news of this marriage came even more suddenly than in the previous life, even Liu Meier was a little confused.

In the early morning, the emperor in the Chaoyang Palace was served by Empress Yuan to wear court clothes. After the palace banquet that day, Empress Yuan received a signal from her father.

Earlier, the emperor urged the eldest princess to marry, so as to prevent her from continuing to interfere in the government.

"The Eldest Princess has not been married for a long time now, Your Majesty may as well inquire about her thoughts, after all, women cannot always be regents."

"It's about elder sister's marriage. I'll ask about it when I have time." The emperor is actually not used to the overly strong elder sister always controlling him.

Jiang Changdai did not expect that the emperor would bring up the matter of marriage first.

Of course, the emperor couldn't have such thoughts. Jiang Changdai expected that Yuan Xing would not let it go, but she just didn't want Empress Yuan to dare to interfere.

"I do have a candidate. I wonder if His Majesty would like to grant a marriage?"

The emperor agreed wholeheartedly, but he was still very surprised when he heard Liu Meier's name.

Unexpectedly, the eldest sister, who was always strong, would like such a weak and weak scholar, the emperor felt a little less worried.

After all, if the personnel are the children of the four major families, they are already rich and powerful, and they have many forces in the court, and the elder sister holds great power, which will inevitably make people uneasy.

And the Liu family was originally a merchant in a small local town, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't make a big storm.

How could Jiang Changdai not know what the emperor was thinking, but she didn't say much.

After all, the Empress Yuan is now blowing in the emperor's ear. If there is a dispute with the emperor, it will only benefit the fisherman of the Yuan family.

When this imperial decree was announced, everyone in the court was shocked, and of course the Yuan family and Queen Yuan were the most surprised.

How did they expect that the eldest princess would choose to marry such a merchant's son.

Empress Yuan subconsciously felt that she seemed to have made a wrong decision.

When Father Liu received the imperial edict, he was so overjoyed that he immediately got up from the sick bed.

The Liu Mansion, which was originally deserted, was suddenly full of people, and the Yuan family was even more angry. The imperial decree had been announced to the public, and there was absolutely nothing they could do.

Royal weddings always have many complicated etiquettes, and the princess mansion and son-in-law's mansion have not yet been built, and there are still many things to prepare, so the palace only announces the marriage, and does not set a wedding date.

An imperial decree made several families sad and some happy, but the Chang family sighed anxiously.

In the snowy night, Mrs. Chang was soaking her feet, looking down at Liu Meier who was sitting beside her and beating her legs, she said worriedly: "What a smart person the eldest princess is, if your identity is discovered, you will die in the future? "

Liu Meier sat on the wooden bench and looked up at Chang Shi, only to find that there were a lot of gray hairs in Chang Shi's hair again: "Mother, don't worry, sister Dai said she would marry me in a fake way to help me get out of trouble. Maybe after a few years, when the turmoil subsides, maybe we will be able to reconcile."

"I don't think it's that simple." Chang didn't think that the eldest princess would agree to a false marriage with someone for no reason, and looked at her child seriously. Regarding the appearance of her child's red lips and white teeth, she had nothing to say, "Perhaps the eldest princess really likes Meier as a little girl." Where is the son-in-law?"

"Mother, don't be joking, sister Dai can't like me like this." Liu Meier whispered with her face burning hot.

"My Meier is not bad, otherwise, the Wang family girl wouldn't have been thinking about it for so long." Chang's fingertips pinched her earlobe and joked, thinking that if Liu Meier was raised as a girl back then, her child would Should have.

As for being unable to advance or retreat like now, even if you make a wrong step, your head will fall to the ground.

Although the Chang family is only a woman in a boudoir, she also knows that members of the royal family will not be so easy to be. How many members of the royal family have died in Jiang's chaos these years.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, Chang would not have watched the child jump into the fire pit.

From the severe winter to the early spring, the city has been in another state of affairs, during which the members of the Yuan family have been thinking of attacking Father Liu.

Father Liu was a businessman by nature, and he was very smooth. At first, because he had no backer, he was so scared that he hid behind closed doors.

Now that the eldest princess is about to become his daughter-in-law, then he and the Yuan family are both relatives of the king. Father Liu thought that the Yuan family would never dare to bring a knife to kill people.

But in the end, Liu's father still underestimated the ability of the Yuan family. In the midsummer, many counties were flooded, and the destruction of the embankment implicated a corruption case.

It is supposed to be a matter of the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Households is responsible for appropriating funds, and the amount is not right after checking.

When Father Liu heard the news, of course he knew that he had accepted the bribe, so he burned the account book of the household department.

The fire happened so coincidentally that the emperor questioned the guilt, and Father Liu was pushed out again.

Corruption is prevalent in the Jiang country, and few of the aristocratic families are clean. How can Father Liu not know that someone is staring at him.

Liu's father, who was already old, thought that he had been an official for a short time anyway, and he must not block the future official career of his children and grandchildren, so he simply resigned by blaming his dereliction of duty.

Liu's father, who lost his official position as Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, barely saved his life.

The Yuan family was very satisfied with this, but who would have thought that Dali Temple would suddenly intervene, and even the eldest princess would get involved.

The four major families have been in the government and the opposition for so many years, and it turns out that few people can guarantee that they are clean.

A number of officials of the fourth and fifth ranks were dismissed and imprisoned one after another, and people in the capital suddenly panicked.

Looking at the list of bribes in her hand, Jiang Changdai thought that it would be difficult for the four major families to deal with it together, and it would easily cause turmoil, so it would be better to pick the weak ones.

Firstly, it is to be the leader of the court, and secondly, it has the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

The Wang family was the first to be raided and arrested. Hundreds of people, big and small, were arrested overnight.

It was not until early summer that the Wang family released some old and weak women and children, and the rest of the men were exiled to the barren land.

This night changed so quickly, Liu's father was shocked to see it, and thought to himself that it was lucky that he retired quickly, otherwise the family fortune for so many years would be gone.

But the other aristocratic families were in panic all day long. Liu Meier was sorting out books in the Hanlin Academy earlier, and occasionally heard something about the corruption of the Wang family.

But I didn't expect such serious consequences.

At first, the bachelors who were always far away from Liu Meier rushed to do things with more and more enthusiasm, which really made Liu Meier very uncomfortable.

Except for the work in the Moon Palace, no one will fight, it seems that there is a tacit understanding.

In the afternoon, Liu Mei'er and a few attendants entered Shangyue Palace with documents in their hands. The palace people lifted the curtain and looked over with a smile, "Master Xiaoliu, please come in quickly."

Liu Mei'er was a little baffled by the look, her cheeks turned slightly red.

Jiang Changdai, dressed in plain white dress, sat quietly on the bamboo couch in the waterside pavilion, flipping through military books, and turned her head to look at Liu Meier, who was dressed in a blue official robe and wearing a black gauze cap. The man stood aside obediently.

Looking at Jiang Changdai like this, I realized that Liu Meier's eyes were very similar to those of a deer in the mountains. Not only were they clear and clean, but they were always a little pitiful, making it difficult for people to say serious words.

And Liu Meier, who had been waiting for Sister Dai to speak out, became more and more nervous when she saw her, wondering if she didn't wipe her face clean when she ate the melon just now?
