Nan Jiao was right. Aunt Li was born in the Shangshu Mansion. Although she was a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, she was also a legitimate official lady. Compared with the prime minister's wife Yuan, who was born in a merchant family, she always considered herself superior and never looked down on Yuan.

Especially when the prime minister openly despised the origin of his legitimate wife, Li was naturally more fearless.

So when Nan Jiao returned to Cuiyuxuan crying, Li, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and putting on makeup in front of the mirror, was really surprised for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"Mother, Nan Xi is back."

What?

Li stood up suddenly, saying in doubt: "Isn't she in the Regent's Mansion? Why did she come back suddenly?"

"I don't know." Nan Jiao said angrily, and then maliciously guessed, "She must have been abandoned by the Regent, otherwise why did she come back without a word?"

Li said: "Where is the silver?"

Speaking of silver, Nan Jiao was even more furious: "Without silver, Nan Xi said that I was rude to her mother, asked me to remember my identity, and said that mother was just a concubine and was not worthy of speaking in front of her... wuwuwu, mother..."

"It's simply hateful!" Li gritted her teeth, then smiled coldly, "It doesn't matter, Nan Xi is just a brainless idiot, and she is also She only boasted about her power, but when she met Gu Qingshu, she just threw herself at him. Why pretend to be so reserved and noble? "

Nan Jiao stamped her feet: "What should we do now? If we can't get the silver, we can't buy the bracelet we like. How can we attend the birthday banquet of Princess Baoling tomorrow?"

She also wanted to show off at Princess Baoling's birthday banquet. Not everyone can afford a bracelet worth three thousand taels, and it was in a high-end place like Moyu Pavilion. The daughters of the noble families at the banquet would be envious. If Princess Baoling liked her bracelet, she could give it to Princess Baoling as a gift.

Princess Baoling was the daughter of the eldest princess. If she could get close to her, she would be more popular in the circle of the powerful in the imperial capital. She could get whatever she wanted. Who would dare not give her face?

She felt that it was worth it to spend only three thousand taels of silver to win the favor of Princess Baoling, but all these plans were ruined by Nan Xi, the damned one!

"Be patient." Li sat back on the stool, combed her hair in front of the mirror, and looked at her charming face reflected in the mirror, "Is mother beautiful?"

Nan Jiao glanced at her mother: "Of course she is beautiful, otherwise how could my father fall at her feet at first sight?"

In addition to the wife Yuan, the prime minister's inner court also has four concubines. Among them, Li's appearance is the most beautiful, charming, and knows how to please men the most. Over the years, she is the only one who gave Nan Xingzhi a son, who is thirteen years old this year and is currently studying.

Although he was a concubine's son, since Yuanshi only had Nanxi, the legitimate daughter, the concubine's treatment was almost the same as that of the legitimate son. Nan Xingzhi found the best teacher for him and placed all the hopes of the Xiangfu on this son. As a result, the status of Li Yi Niang, who gave birth to a son, also rose, so she looked down on the legitimate wife.

"Mother is beautiful, and has Xuan'er, a precious son, to show off in front of your father. Can't she deal with Yuanshi?" Li smiled confidently, "Wait a minute, mother will help you get three thousand taels of silver tonight... Oh no, three thousand taels is not enough? At least five thousand taels are needed."
