Chapter 122: Lu Pheasant's My Ben Xian Empress (12)
"The name 'Le'er' is what you are qualified to call, what are you!" Lu Pheasant pulled the corners of his mouth, his face full of coldness and disdain.
"I'm her mother-in-law...... "Mrs. Qi saw that Lu Pheasant's face was not good, she panicked and argued to herself.
"Qingh, keep palming!"
"Yes. Qingli pulled Mrs. Qi up and gave her a big slap in the face.
The hedge is very heavy. Mrs. Qi's cheeks were red and swollen and her sideburns were scattered, but she was still unconvinced, and raised Liu Bang and said: "The queen mother used her identity to abuse the lynching, aren't you afraid that your majesty will blame you? โ
"Then you go and say it! You are just a concubine, and you dare to call yourself the eldest princess by her name. If I stand here well, you dare to call yourself 'mother'." Qi Ji, who gave you the guts?"
Don't blame Lu Pheasant for losing his temper. Liu Le is now the "eldest princess of Lu Yuan" of the Han Dynasty, the eldest princess is the grade of the first grade, and Mrs. Qi was originally the second grade, but now she actually enjoys the treatment of the fourth grade "Jieyu". She also wanted to salute when she saw Liu Le, but relying on Liu Bang's favor, she regarded herself as an elder, and she deserved to be beaten.
Moreover, the title of "concubine" is generally not recognized in the family. Unless the mother dies early, and the father of the children does not marry the stepfamily, the children are raised by the father's concubine and have a certain affection for this concubine, so this honorific title will be used. The ordinary concubine is a role with a slightly higher status than the subordinates, and they can be bought and sold, so where is the qualification to call themselves "concubines"? Families who use this word casually will be ridiculed.
Now that Lu Pheasant is alive, Le'er has never been raised by Mrs. Qi, although Mrs. Qi has a certain rank in this palace, but in the final analysis, she is just a concubine, where is she qualified to call herself a "concubine"?
Mrs. Qi's face turned pale, and although her heart was full of anger and unwillingness, she didn't dare to say anything more. She ran out of Changle Palace and went straight in the direction of the Xuan Room.
"Niangniang, do you want to chase her back?" Qing Liang saw the direction in which Mrs. Qi left, and knew that she was going to sue, and she was a little worried.
"Not necessarily. Qi Ji's behavior is formless, we are reasonable, and we are not afraid of anything. Lu Pheasant said disapprovingly.
She could almost have predicted what would happen after that. Liu Bang definitely wants to say that Qi Ji is "young and ignorant", "you tolerate her a little more", and he doesn't want to think about why he wants to tolerate her. But it doesn't matter, Lu Pheasant just wants to use the matter of "Qi Ji is not sensible" to let Liu Bang take the initiative to take back the initiative of Le'er's marriage from Qi Ji and hand it back into his hands.
Qi Ji didn't know anything about Lu Pheasant's plans, she only felt that she was too wronged, crying and disheveled, and ran to Liu Bang to complain.
Liu Bang was reviewing the folds, frowning and listening to what happened. There is indeed a reason for Lu Pheasant's anger in this matter, but can't these two women stop a little? What are they doing noisily all day long!
Mrs. Qi cried and defended herself: "The concubine has been by His Majesty's side for many years, and she never dared to have any arrogant thoughts. It's just that seeing Le'er grow up since she was a child, she unconsciously has a bit of a motherly heart for her, but she didn't expect her sister to even tolerate this. Woowoo woo ......"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell her, it's worth fighting just like this?" Liu Bang looked at Mrs. Qi's wolf bรจi and pitiful appearance, and couldn't bear to blame her, and couldn't help but feel that Lu Pheasant was a little narrow-minded.
"Your Majesty, I only have a son and a daughter under my knees, Le'er and Ying'er, what a big deal is marriage? Madam Qi acted in a disorderly manner, and spoke without proportion, so it would be just a shame for me to be embarrassed, and if she was embarrassed in front of the children of the family, wouldn't it be a bad thing? I was also too anxious at the time, so I ......."
Isn't it just crying? Who wouldn't? Lu Pheasant said with tears in his eyes, and took out a plain brocade handkerchief to wipe his eyes.
"Le'er has suffered so much since she was a child, and finally she is going to get married when she grows up, but the marriage is going to be ruined in the hands of that woman, I really ...... in my heart"
"Okay, okay, I won't let her get involved in Le'er's marriage. You can do whatever you like. It's just that if there is no more such thing as today, you can't get along?"
Liu Bang saw Lu Pheasant playing the bitter card, and quickly stopped her words. Women are really troublesome! One by one, they cry and cry at every turn.
"What His Majesty said is that the concubine body remembered. As long as Qi Ji doesn't have any more trouble, I have no problem here. I'll definitely get along with her. Lu Pheasant, who had achieved his goal, said meekly, but secretly complained in his heart.
Why do these men wishfully think that their women can really unite and be like a monolith? It's so self-righteous.
As soon as Liu Bang came out of the palace gate, Lu Pheasant put away the veil. The original owner is too forbearing, too strong, and refuses to reveal his fragile side, thinking that as long as he pays, the other party will see it. As everyone knows, "crying children have milk to eat", she gritted her teeth and held on, others will only see her hard appearance, and they can't see her weakness at all.
"Le'er, among these young talents who came today, are there any ones you like?" Lu Pheasant looked at the daughters of the sons of the various families who were dressed as ordinary maids and secretly observed the chrysanthemum banquet, and asked quietly.
"What does a daughter have to like? Le'er blushed, but her little eyes couldn't help but glance at a beautiful boy with a look like ice jade and a graceful demeanor.
Lu Pheasant followed her gaze and sighed slightly unconsciously. Sure enough, people need fate between people.
In the previous life, Le'er was married to Zhang Ao, the son of King Zhao, and in this life, he took a fancy to him again. In the previous life, the conditions for the candidates that Qi Ji selected for Le'er were not the best, and Zhang Ao was among them. Because his father Zhang Er was a general of the Chu army, although he was the king of Zhao, his status in the imperial court was not high. Although Zhang Ao is both talented and good-looking, both civil and military, he is not as popular as the son of an official eunuch of the second and third grades.
Le'er took a fancy to this Zhang Ao from the crowd at that time, and Mrs. Qi saw that Zhang Ao's conditions were not good, so she didn't obstruct it, but just sent a family order to Le'er to destroy their husband and wife relationship. Fortunately, Zhang Ao is a reliable person, and he did not resent Le'er because of this, and their relationship has always been very good.
In this life, Lu Pheasant invited all the sons of the top families in the capital, and Le'er still fell in love with that Zhang Ao.
Just now, Le'er was dressed as a maid, and accidentally tripped and knocked down the wine jug in her hand, and the wine spilled on the bodies of several sons. Several other people couldn't help but reproach Le'er a few times, only Zhang Ao didn't have any sense of blame, but comforted her. Pianpian son, gentle as jade, won Le'er's heart in this way.
Since Le'er chose the same person in both lives, and Zhang Ao did value Le'er in his previous life and loved him for a lifetime, Lu Pheasant naturally would not object. It's just that after Le'er married to Zhao in her previous life, not long after Zhang Ao inherited the throne of Zhao, King Zhao's rebellion broke out. This incident made Lu Pheasant a little worried.
Although it was later found out that it was Zhao Xiangguang's doing, and it had nothing to do with King Zhao, Zhang Ao was still affected and dedicated Zhao Guo to Qi Ji's son Liu Ruyi, and Qi Ji helped them say something good in front of Liu Bang and let them go.
Now that he knows the plot, Lu Pheasant naturally won't let this happen again. After Le'er and Zhang Ao settled on their relationship, Lu Pheasant let Lu Ze enter the palace to help her investigate Xia Guangao.
Lu Pheasant began to prepare Le'er's dowry, and Liu Bang paid rare attention to the affairs of his children, and assigned Le'er a family order to manage the princess's mansion. Lu Pheasant couldn't help but be suspicious.
In the previous life, the family order of Princess Lu Yuan's mansion was bigger than the princess, in the name of "taking care of all the affairs of the princess's mansion under the order of His Majesty", he took chicken feathers as an arrow, and stuck between Le'er and Zhang Ao was not allowed to round the house, Le'er was married for half a year before the two had the opportunity to be together, but they were humiliated by the family order. Although the young couple is very affectionate, their lives are really not happy.
Now that Liu Bang has specially brought a family order to Le'er, Lu Pheasant will naturally be suspicious. She secretly investigated, and sure enough, she found that this family order was recommended to Liu Bang by Mrs. Qi in the name of "wanting to do her best for Princess Lu Yuan, but I am afraid that the queen will be suspicious", and asked him to arrange the family order of Princess Le'er's mansion.
Lu Pheasant is really speechless, what kind of pot with what lid, these two people get together, whether they are intentional or not, they can always do something that is annoying to people by poking secretly.
The matter of the family order was easy to deal with, Lu Pheasant asked people to accuse him of stealing, no matter how he explained, just don't listen to him, and kicked him out of the team of Princess Le'er's Mansion smoothly. It's just that Liu Bang and Qi Ji tore off her hind legs twice in three days, which really makes people panic.
Otherwise, it would be good to choose some concubines for Liu Bang. Mrs. Qi felt threatened, so she didn't have the energy to find trouble with herself.
It's just that this matter, no matter what, has to wait until Le'er's marriage is completed. Lu Pheasant now had to free up his hands to deal with the invisible threat on King Zhao's side, Guan Gao.
I have to say that the Lu family is quite reliable, no wonder Lu Pheasant relied on them so much in his previous life. There is no problem with Guangao's resume on the surface, but after a deep investigation, he found suspicious points.
When Zhang Er was named King of Zhao, Guan Gao was already his confidant. But before, Guan Gao was able to gain Zhang Er's trust, mainly because he saved Zhang Er's life when he was robbed by the stragglers. And that branch of soldiers, no one knows how they came about.
If that's all there is to it, it's possible that someone else thinks too much, and there's nothing wrong with running high. However, Lu Ze's people also found out that Guan Gao secretly accepted huge bribes in his position, but in addition to a wife and a son, there was no extra population in his family. If they just live frugally and like to save money, then they don't need to pawn things! Even if there are no bribes, Guan Gao, as the prime minister of Zhao State, can still afford to support his family, why is this so?
So, where did all that money go?
