The rain was pouring down, and the palace ladies and ladies in the Penglai Hall were nervously watching the drainage of the entire Penglai Palace. When Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi went to Penglai Palace, three young palace people were working on the roof of the main hall of Penglai Hall in the rain, and Qingyun explained that it was too rainy, and Penglai Hall was leaking some rain.

"But it's leaking so much, why don't you let people fix it?" asked Li Ke as soon as he sat down.

"It's not a big deal, Xiaofuzi and Ah Shun are both good at building houses, and they will be fine if they see it. Besides, it rained so heavily that it made people panic, as if the dry season had just ended, and this rainy season had come all at once, and Your Majesty must have been worried. Yang Shufei said as she hooked the fire on the stove and put the ginger pieces sent by Aunt Yue into the iron pot.

"yes, it's raining hard. I'm afraid that Weishui and Luoshui won't be able to bear it. Li Ke also looked outside, and only the rain poured down between heaven and earth.

"Luoshui Weishui is still second, and the most feared is the Yellow River bursting. Since I have been sensible, the flooding of the Yellow River has made people worry and worry every year. Yang Shufei sighed.

"Mother doesn't have to worry, the Ministry of Industry has been busy for a long time, and she has been preparing for a rainy day. Presumably, even if there is a disaster, it will not be too serious. Li Ke comforted.

"The Ministry of Industry has dealt with drought and locust plagues, and now it is the rainy season. Alas, others don't know, Ke'er must know the family background of the Ministry of Industry. Yang Shufei looked at the water in the pot and said slowly.

"There is no way to do that, and now we can't completely solve the flood. In addition, in the case of flooding, it is not just a matter of building an embankment. Li Ke patiently explained.

"That's the truth. However, I heard that the Dujiangyan in Yizhou is very magical, and a single project has solved the flood in the Chengdu Plain. Later, the governor of Yizhou, Shi Gaoshilian, seemed to build other dams on the basis of this Dujiangyan, and I heard that Yizhou was not afraid of floods and was not short of water. It can really be described as the land of abundance. Yang Shufei chatted, but she pointed out.

Li Ke also heard the sound outside the strings, so he rejected Yang Shufei's thoughts, and said: "Mother, even if there is a flood, my father did not send me, I must not take the initiative to ask for help." ”

"How can I let you take the initiative to ask for help? You must not do such a meritorious thing. You have only returned from sending the Turks, so you should stop and stop. Yang Shufei said.

Only then did Li Ke understand that his mother meant to warn him that there had been a lot of things recently, but he didn't need to move, unless it was Chrysostom opened by His Majesty himself.

"Follow your mother's teachings. Li Ke saluted Yang Shufei.

"Okay, why should the family be so polite. Since we want to live a stable life, we should go to the muddy water less. Yang Shufei said as she got up and looked at the water in the pot.

The water in the pot was steaming, and Concubine Yang Shufei lifted her sleeves and turned the ginger pieces in the pot to her own eyes, and ordered the little palace maid on the side to add a small piece of brown sugar. When it was almost done, Yang Shufei closed the lid and turned the stove down, before saying, "Your iron pot is very easy to use, with hot blocks, and stir-fried vegetables are also very delicious." The last time the people in the imperial dining room saw it, they were very envious. ”

"Mother agreed?" asked Li Ke.

Concubine Yang shook her head and said, "How can you agree to such a thing? If you want to give them technology, it must be a matter of the Gewu Academy, and my Penglai Palace or your Shu Palace, or the Yang Family's Sixth Room, will definitely not be able to take this credit." ”

"Follow the teachings of the mother. Jiang Chengzi knew that these words were beating her, and immediately replied respectfully.

"Ah Zhi doesn't have to be polite, we are a family, and you are also very measured children. I'm just small talk. Yang Shufei said with a smile.

Jiang Chengzi felt that the concubine was more amiable now than when she first met, but like a kind elder, and the slight nervousness before was also eliminated.

"Add another piece of brown sugar. Concubine Yang Shu instructed the little palace maid again.

The little palace maid added brown sugar, and Concubine Yang said: "This rain is coming quickly, I will boil this ginger juice, and you will each drink a bowl." Then it was distributed to the people who were drenched in the rain to drink, so as not to get sick. ”

"Yes. The two replied.

Concubine Yang got up again and instructed Aunt Yue to boil a pot of herbs cut during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, give each of the two housekeepers who built the house a bowl to drink, and then let them take a bath with the rest.

Aunt Yue smiled and praised Concubine Shu's heart, and then led the palace maid to withdraw. In the entire Penglai Palace, only Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke's mother and son were left.

"Ke'er, Chang'an has been turbulent recently, but you have to be patient. Yang Shufei said solemnly.

Li Ke nodded and said, "Mother, I wrote it down." ”

"Today's rainstorm, you also brought Ah Zhi into the palace, I'm afraid you didn't just come to see me, right?" Yang Shufei asked directly.

Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke couldn't help but glance at each other, and secretly admired in their hearts: There is really no one in this harem who is confused.

"Mother's heart is like a mirror, and my son really can't hide anything from you. Li Ke laughed.

"Poor mouth. Yang Shufei smiled, turned off the fire of the stove, took another bowl and carefully scooped out two bowls of ginger soup and put them on the table next to her, before saying, "What do you need my mother's help with?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "Then don't hide it from your mother." ”

"Family, if you hide it from me, I won't recognize you as a child. Yang Shufei said, smiling. Jiang Chengzidun felt that no words could describe her beauty.

Li Ke smiled, and told all the things that Xiao Lingling gave away, as well as Changle and Chai Lingwu. Yang Shufei's expression suddenly became solemn, and she couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth in the Lizheng Palace.

After a long while, Yang Shufei said, "You handled it properly. It's just that I can't say who the people behind this are. Anyone you are talking about is possible. However, if it is a contractor, then—"

"Mother, don't worry, I won't do anything out of the ordinary. Li Ke hurriedly said.

Yang Shufei shook her head and said very seriously: "If you are Chengqian, you will not do anything out of the ordinary." But I don't want my son to be able to protect himself. ”

Li Ke was stunned, and Jiang Chengzi was also stunned. When Yang Shufei saw the two, she said, "You are all excellent children. If others deceive others too much, they don't have to worry about others. There are limits to tolerance. Your own strength is hidden, and do not leave it into the hands of others. As for Chai Lingwu's matter, whether Changle is aimed at the Chai family, or even the pit of the Yang family's six rooms and the Shu Wangfu, my mother will help you take a look. ”

Concubine Yang Shufei was dressed in plain clothes, with a green hairpin in her hair, standing in the center of the Penglai Palace, her posture and tone were extremely firm. She stood there, with an air of non-anger and self-authority. The eyes were bright, and there was an inexplicable coldness.

"Mother, I came to this palace just to see you, and I have my own decision about Changle. Li Ke was reluctant to drag Yang Shufei in, and hurriedly said.

Concubine Yang glanced at him and said, "You are here to see your mother, doesn't your mother know?"

"Mother, Changle's matter is just incidental-" Li Ke explained.

Yang Shufei waved her hand and interrupted Li Ke's words: "What kind of person my child is, can I not know?

"Okay. Li Ke smiled helplessly, but he still didn't want his mother to wade into this troubled water, so he said, "Since the mother knows her son's intentions, the son doesn't say much, but Changle is still not bothering his mother." ”

"Mouthy. Concubine Yang Shufei said loudly, and then threw the handkerchief in her hand aside, and must have looked at Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke drinking ginger juice, while saying, "It just so happens that I am tired of chanting, and this rain is also restless, I will go to the Lizheng Palace with you to visit the queen." ”

"Mother, the queen is now double. You, however, are always inappropriate. Li Ke hurriedly stopped.

"My temperament, both the Queen and His Majesty understand. I didn't fight then, and I won't fight now. However, you have calculated everything, the person who fished in troubled waters and the person who designed Changle and Chai Lingwu, there is still a possibility, you have not calculated. Concubine Yang Shufei was still standing in the Penglai Palace, her expression and tone became colder and colder.

"Is there another possibility?" Li Ke was shocked.

He thought he had calculated all the possibilities, but his mother thought there was another possibility. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chengzi, who was also confused.

"Ke'er, retreat is advance, bitter meat plan, these are also in the thirty-six plans. Don't forget, although Your Majesty is an iron-blooded king, he misses the old department of the Qin Palace, especially the heroes of the Xuanwu Sect. Yang Shufei said coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke are very good at these conspiracies and conspiracies, and they are very good at speculating about people's hearts. Yang Shufei nodded slightly, and the two immediately understood the possibility that Yang Shufei had just said: that is, the eldest grandson family designed this scene.

This Changle is the quasi-daughter-in-law of the Changsun Mansion, but she flew with someone. The misfortune of the eldest grandson will become a nostalgia for His Majesty when dealing with the affairs of the eldest grandson in the future. At the same time, Chai Lingwu is close to the Yang family's six rooms, if Chai Lingwu marries Princess Changle, he will undoubtedly be an enemy of the Changsun family. They thought that the Chai family married Princess Changle and stood by Li Chengqian's side. But Yang Minzhi is the righteous daughter of the Chai family on the family tree, and others think that the Chai family is officially the enemy of the Changsun family, but in fact they are standing by the side of the King of Shu.

Those ministers who are close to Liufang will basically be considered to stand with Li Ke. If someone has a heart to provoke a little in front of the prince and His Majesty, then everything Li Ke has done before will be wasted.

When the two thought of this possibility, they immediately sweated profusely and soaked the back of their clothes. Jiang Chengzi was terrified, and suddenly felt that he had done his best, but compared to Yang Shufei, it was really much more tender.

"If, if it's really them, it's really bloody. Li Ke said sarcastically.

"Heh, Your Majesty has so many princesses that a long music is nothing. There is no Changle, there are other princesses. Since ancient times, there have been a few princesses who have had a good end, whether they go to a barren land to make peace with them, or appease their courtiers. When Yang Shufei said this, as if thinking of her own life experience, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes were gently covered, and a few tears rolled down.

"Mother. Li Ke shouted softly, his tone full of worry.

Yang Shufei raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were bright and firm, she shook her head and said, "Ke'er, mother is fine." ”

"It was the child who caused trouble for the mother. Li Ke was apologetic.

"What kind of behavior are you doing? What are you saying that it is boring to say? Could it be that the mother wants to say that her identity has harmed her child and made you suffer this child?" Yang Shufei frowned, very unhappy.

"Mother, that's not what the child meant. Li Ke wanted to explain. Today's mothers are different from the past, and even in previous lives. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

Concubine Yang Shufei waved her hand and said, "Don't say more, what is there to say about these established facts? Do I still have to complain that you chose Ah Zhi to be the princess of Shu and caused us trouble?"

When Jiang Chengzi heard the mention of himself, he felt related, and he didn't know what to say, so he just stood with his head down.

"Mother, it's the child's fault. When Li Ke heard his mother mention Ah Zhi, he quickly admitted his mistake.

Yang Shufei knew the reason why he admitted his mistake like this, and couldn't help but laugh "poof" and quipped: "Look at you, that's it." ”

"Yes, that's all the boy. Li Ke laughed.

"It's a pity that those people can't see you like that. Yang Shufei sighed again.

"They always look up to children. Li Ke smiled helplessly.

"Alright, we're a family now. Today, I am very glad that you have brought Ah Zhi to this Penglai Hall to tell me these things. Concubine Yang Shufei said very seriously, then pulled Jiang Chengzi to sit down on the side, and whispered, "Ah Zhi, the sixth room and the Shu Wangfu and Penglai Palace are both prosperous and loss-making. Don't those people put their minds on the head of the sixth room, and you should tell your father and brother to be careful. Moreover, your father and brother are transparent, and you can explain to them what is happening today. ”

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi replied obediently.

Yang Shufei smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque. She kindly hugged Jiang Chengzi in her arms, like a mother helping her daughter fix her hair, and gently straightened Jiang Chengzi's hair that had been messed up by wearing a poncho and a hat.

While she was reasoning, she said softly: "Chang'an is not as good as Jinyuan County, nor is it as good as Hongnong Yang. The water in Chang'an City is deeper than you think. You are unfortunately affected by Ke'er, and you have to walk more rain and arrows than other people's homes on this Great Wall. Therefore, don't hide anything from your father, brother and eldest sister, they will all have a foothold in this Chang'an City in the future and make achievements in this court. Know early, know early, experience early. ”

"Follow the nurse's teachings. Jiang Chengzi wanted to get up, but Yang Shufei was still arranging her hair, and she couldn't move.

Yang Shufei smiled, patted her back lightly with her hand, and said, "You, not only are Ke'er's sweethearts, but also very good to him, and even Ah Shu has been taken into account." I like you so much that I treat you like my daughter, and I don't have to be formal, okay?"

Later, she said that she was questioning her. Jiang Chengzi was still nervous before, but Yang Shufei's voice was soft and soft, and she was not nervous.

"Good. She replied crisply.

Li Ke pinched a cold sweat on the side, his mother still liked Ah Zhi as much as she did in her previous life, and he let go of his heart.

"But don't tell your mother about that. Your mother is not too young, and now she is double, and I heard that the fetus is not too stable. You just need to take care of it, and you don't have to worry about other things. Concubine Yang Shufei arranged Jiang Chengzi's hair, and gave her a pearl hairpin to wear, thinking that her prospective daughter-in-law was very good-looking.

Jiang Chengzi nodded in response, and Concubine Yang ordered someone to pass lunch. After lunch, the rain intensified. Concubine Yang Shu looked at the sky and said that it was not appropriate to go to the Lizheng Palace at this time, and she would go after the queen got up from a nap. And she was tired, so she went to rest.

Li Ke was pulled by Li Su to play chess, but after playing two hands, Li Su felt bored, and snubbed his third sister-in-law, so he thought about what to play with three people. He proposed to throw the pot, but Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi were lazy, saying that they didn't bully a child.

Li Su knew that these two had done a good job, and he didn't dare to continue to insist. Jiang Chengzi felt that the rain was heavy and bored, so he ordered the housekeeper to make a deck of playing cards and play for a while to fight the landlord.

When Yang Shufei got up, the rain was slightly lighter. Concubine Yang Shu ordered someone to carry a soft sedan chair and took Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi to the Lizheng Palace.
