In the middle of winter, there is especially a lot of snow this year, and the sky is white again. In the Da'an Palace, there is a color of the vermilion column, and the red plum and red tiles around are stained with snow, like the blank space between the books and inks, which leads people to reverie. Li Shuci entered the Fengxian Palace, Concubine Hui was already gossiping beside the Queen Mother, and when she came in, she didn't wait for Li Shuci to salute, so she took the lead and said to the Queen Mother: "The county lord of Yongning has lived in the palace these days, and the more the concubine looks at it, the more she feels that she has such a general bearing, and she is a trumpet Li Xiangye." Li Xiangye was naturally referring to Li Weiqing, who had succeeded his father.

Concubine Hui's words were generous and tactful, but Li Shuci heard something else from it.

Since his rebirth, Li Shuci has been immersed in how to keep his parents and brothers away from conspiracy and calculation, and support a happy and healthy world for their small family. But she never imagined that the father she had always trusted and respected was the one who was even more powerful than her grandfather, and even before her grandmother died, she communicated with the Confucian king.

So what are the sufferings she suffered in her previous life? What is the death of Ah Niang and her younger brother? The Shen family's selfish methods are all over the world just to get their lives, since my father is such a scheming person with the city government, don't you even see it in your eyes? In order to hide herself, let their mother and daughter suffer and be bullied?

She didn't want to think deeply, she just wanted to wait for her father's explanation before she could see through everything. But so far, he hasn't even said half a sentence.

Li Shuci was not in the mood to deal with Concubine Hui's words, but just routinely asked for peace, and sat aside to listen to the instructions. Concubine Hui's eyes turned twice on her, and she didn't say anything anymore, but the Queen Mother asked about Emperor Xuwen's body: "It's been a few days since Wang Meiren entered the palace, and the king's health is getting better day by day, but I don't know what the cause is?

The words of the fifth prince swirled in Concubine Hui's mind, and she smiled and said: "The king's illness is not a serious illness, but a stubborn disease that has accumulated for many years. ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "Very much." ”

Li Shuci's eyes only stared at the purple jade smoke cage in front of her, and she listened without a word, she finished learning the rules, and the queen mother wanted to keep her for more time on the grounds that she was reluctant to her. At this time, it is becoming more and more difficult to know the news outside the palace, and it is frequently blocked.

The next day, Yu Baochan entered the palace to meet with Li Shuci on the pretext of visiting the Queen Mother.

Li Shuci also got the news early, and led the errand to welcome Yu Baochan in front of the Queen Mother. As soon as the two met, Li Shuci saw that something was wrong with Yu Baochan, and the two held hands and didn't speak. happened to meet the five princes who asked the Queen Mother to come out in front of the Shoukun Palace. The five princes stood under the door plaque and received their salutes.

The fifth prince couldn't help but look at Yu Baochan because of what Concubine Hui had mentioned to him before.

Although Yu Baochan is not as slender and tall as the lady next to her, she has ruddy cheeks and transparent skin, curved eyebrows, and pink lips and apricot eyes, which is a very blessed and delicate appearance. I couldn't help but feel a little happy. He didn't expect Concubine Hui to have such a plan, but for him, it would only be of great benefit to him to let the daughter of the Yu family be his side concubine. Although Yu Baochan is the pearl of the Yu family, she is loved by thousands of people, and she will naturally not be a concubine when she is idle. But he is not idle, he is a prince, and he still has the strength to compete, as long as the means are used just right, he is not afraid that the Yu family will not agree.

Li Shuci noticed that there was something strange in the eyes of the five princes, so he glanced at him attentively. Just now, Yu Baochan pursed her lips tightly and didn't say hello, but just squatted slightly and made a blessing, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

There is no other place in the palace, although Yu Baochan is careful not to show her pathos, how can she hide it from Li Shuci's eyes. The two went around in front of the Queen Mother, and you went back and forth to talk some gossip, and then went back to Li Shuci's residence. Mu Yun also saw that she had something to say, so she jumped outside to guard the door. Qingge sent hot tea to her and said, "Miss Yu, what's wrong?" With her usual temperament, when she saw Li Shuci, she had already said it.

Yu Baochan didn't know how to speak, opened her lips, choked back, tears flowed down silently, Li Shuci hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, Yu Baochan grabbed her hand, "Aci, this is the original thing...... I shouldn't tell anyone about it, but I ...... I really don't know what to do. ”

As soon as Yu Baochan said what Mrs. Lin said, an evil fire rose in Li Shuci's heart. How dare she? What good does it do her to offend the Yu family for Concubine Hui so blatantly?" "What did your father and mother say? How could your second brother agree to such a ridiculous thing? Second Brother Yu is not such a person...... Don't worry, there may be something inside to this. Besides, it doesn't matter if your second brother says this, your aunt won't agree. ”

Moreover, although Fang Jin's death was caused by Shen Yuan, if it weren't for her, Shen Yuan wouldn't have stared at Shang Jin. The guilt of the dead is often transferred to the living, she feels ashamed of Yu Shi'an, and has thought of many ways to make up for it, but she can't get Fang Jin's life back after all.

"A-Niang is already angry, A-dad called the second brother to the study yesterday, who knew that the two turned their faces without saying a few words, and everyone in the courtyard heard the violent quarrel between the two. I just stood outside the door...... The second brother ate the scales and was iron-hearted, and he wanted to die and quit his family, and his father asked, why is your sister half, my second brother actually said, there is nothing wrong with letting me marry the prince...... This, this is not my second brother...... My second brother wouldn't do that to me......"

Li Shuci's consternation is beyond words. If there is any kind of harm in the world, it is the loved ones. At the moment, Li Shuci can best understand Yu Baochan's mood.

"Don't cry yet, it's useless to cry, since something has happened, if you want to solve it, it's good to find out the reason in general. "This matter is strange everywhere, not only Yu Shi'an, but why did Mrs. Lin help Concubine Hui to be this wicked person?" ”

Although the strength of the five princes is not too weak in general, whether a thing can succeed depends not only on the surrounding environmental forces, but also on the person himself. Compared with the current Confucian kings and six princes, the five princes are too much worse.

"Ah Ci, do you really have a way?But if this thing doesn't work out, will my second brother really die headlong?" Yu Baochan wiped away her tears helplessly, "Although he did that, I don't believe this is his intention...... Although I don't care about the government, but in this situation, I also heard my father say a few words, Concubine Hui wants to pull the Lin family, and drag our Yu family into the water. ”

It's not as simple as she says, but it's true. "But since Mrs. Lin has found your mansion, you have to go out to avoid it. Isn't your aunt sick? In the name of recuperation, you are with your aunt. No matter which end of the Lin family or Concubine Hui, it can drag on for a while, and we have room to turn around in the middle. "If it spreads, will the Yu family's statement and Yu Baochan's reputation still be? Even if it is avoided, it will be a hurdle to kiss in the future.

If this matter is handled well, it is not the Lin family, if it is not handled well, it will become a mud for the two families, and in the end, the victim will not be able to run away from Yu Baochan.

"Well, I listen to you, I'll go back with A-Niang to the Bodhi Nunnery outside the city to recuperate. Yu Baochan's tears couldn't be stopped, she looked at Li Shuci sadly, "Aci, I have never dared to tell you, I ...... in my heart"

"Alright...... Don't think about it so much, let's solve the current problem first. Li Shuci knew what she was thinking in her heart, and from her every move, she knew that she had some thoughts about Xiang Jiu, and when she was safe and sound, she didn't care about it, and when the obstacles were there, she couldn't think of anything. Li Shuci can't make the decision about Xiang Jiu's comings and goings, she doesn't want Yu Baochan to say it clearly, once she resorts to her mouth, all emotions will take root at that moment, pour her all her strength, and the whole heart will be irretrievable.

Sending Yu Baochan away, Li Shuci was also in turmoil, she shouldn't think about going out of the palace, she should find a way to stay in the palace at this time, although it is dangerous, the closer she is to danger, the closer she is to the center of the whirlpool.

"Bring the cloak, let's go out for a walk. ”

After Li Shuci entered the palace, he would not leave Shoukun Palace easily. First, she is the quasi-princess of the Confucian king. Second, she is the beloved daughter of the powerful minister Li Weiqing. Both of these identities will cause trouble. But now Li Shuci's thoughts are completely opposite, trouble is not used to hide, it is used to solve, only when trouble occurs, she can use her hands and feet to make things develop in the direction she wants.

In the harem, the place where troubles gather is the Imperial Garden.

The imperial garden in winter is different from the smoke and rain in summer, and it naturally has another interest. There is a saying that it is better to come early than to come well, and it is better to come to it by coincidence. Li Shuci stepped into the garden, and saw a few rows of footprints in the snow, Li Shuci stepped on it and compared, and said with a smile: "Let's go forward." ”

On the high platform in front, the Lonely Sky Pavilion stood upright, only half a small window was opened, Li Shuci's eyesight was outstanding, and at a glance he could see that Emperor Xuwen, who was dressed in black and embroidered gold, was sitting inside, revealing the robe of an inner servant behind him, it should be Zhu Daguan standing behind him, but he didn't know who the person opposite was.

Li Shuci handed the hand stove to the green pigeon, "This snow is white and clear, it's a pity that it's scattered here, let's build a snowman." ”

Mu Yun cheered, she really couldn't show her hands and feet in the Queen Mother's Palace, and when she heard Li Shuci say that she wanted to pile up snow, she started immediately, and it was not too cold, and after a while, she and Li Shuci rolled up the snow together, rolling a big snowball back and forth, and the green pigeon was nagging on the side and saying something like not to freeze. "Girl, be careful, hey, Muyun, take care of these, don't let the girl slip!"

Li Shuci and Mu Yun had a lot of fun.

When they rolled into the second snowball, Zhu Daguan finally came to invite with a smile on his face. "Lord Yongning, the king announced that you went over to speak. ”

Li Shuci turned his back to him and smiled secretly, before turning around to worship: "Daguan Zhu is polite." ”
