As soon as Chrysanthemum and Li Sheng left the palace, Li Sheng said with a displeased face: "What did you just say to the queen mother?" Did you tell the queen the queen of all the grievances between us? ”

Chrysanthemum said coldly: "What I said to the queen mother, it is a matter between us, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Li Sheng's voice raised slightly: "How can it have nothing to do with me?" It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, if you tell the queen about the matter between us, what will the queen think of me? ”

"Family ugly? Hehe, I heard you speak righteously this morning, and I thought you thought that some of your views were right, but it is rare that you also knew that your family was ugly at that time, and you also knew that others would feel ashamed when they heard what you did. Chrysanthemum said sarcastically: "However, you think too much, the queen is open-minded, and she has rarely spent her mind on unworthy people, so you don't have to be afraid, maybe out of the palace, she can't remember who you are!" ”

Li Sheng was told that she couldn't get off the stage, and said angrily: "Do you have to go toe-to-toe with me?" Since you and I have become husband and wife, the husband should sing with the wife, and raise the case with eyebrows, I just want to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors once, if you don't want to go, I don't dare to force you Miss Shen, but why do you torture me again and again, and even run to the queen to sue me? ”

Chrysanthemum said coldly: "You only want to go back and worship your parents and ancestors, have you ever thought about my parents?" They treat you like their own sons, take you home when you are poorly fed, provide you with good food and drink, raise you with silk and satin, and open a fur shop for you to make a living, but you, before you got married, you pretended to be obedient, and you just wanted to pinch my parents as soon as you became a parent, and it was about to be the New Year, if you have a little conscience, you should accompany them for the New Year, but you, not only did you not want to accompany them for the New Year, but you also wanted to take me away, you know that they are all my daughter, you took me away, how can they celebrate the New Year? Do you have a little conscience to treat those who are kind to you like this? Or do you think that if I marry you, you will pinch the lifeblood of my parents, and our family will have to see your face in the future? ”

"If you think so, you are wrong, do you know why even such a prominent family as the Liguo Mansion proposed to me and was rejected by my father? Scold! Because I married into the Liguo Mansion, I have to listen to others in everything, and I am at the mercy of others everywhere, as you said, I need to live the kind of days when husbands sing and women follow and raise eyebrows, so I don't want to be at the mercy of others everywhere. However, if you recruit a son-in-law who is rich, it will be different, and the son-in-law who is rich will live well with me, and I will live with him in peace, if he wants to do something, I will take him away and drive him out of the house, and I can live freely and quietly by myself, hehehe......"

Hearing this, Li Sheng's face suddenly fell, and his heart quickly froze, he thought that a boudoir woman like Chrysanthemum would be very weak and easy to manipulate, and would strictly abide by the admonitions of "Women's Rules" and "Female Taming", and respond to her husband's requests, and be obedient, he didn't think she would be such a thorn, he just tried it, and was attacked by her to the point of incompleteness and defeat.

It seems that he made a mistake, and tough means don't seem to have any effect on her, if she wants to get the huge wealth of the Shen family, and if she wants to rely on Shen Luming's connections to climb up, it won't work with tough means!

Chrysanthemum continued: "Only those stupid women can sing with their husbands, and if the man sings correctly, she has nothing to say if she sings it correctly, and if the man sings wrong, will she sing with it?" What's the difference between that and a parrot who learns to speak? What's the use of her having that head? I despise such a woman the most, so don't expect it to happen to me. ”

"As for raising the case and raising eyebrows, hehe, I think that Meng Guang is a stupid pig, why do you respect that Liang Hong so willingly? If Liang Hong really loves her, he is reluctant to let her lift the tray so high every day to invite him to dinner, since Liang Hong doesn't care about her, she still respects him so much, isn't she cheap? If you want me to say, it must be that Liang Hong has no ability, and people like to be big, and he can't mix outside, so he has to find dignity and a feeling of being aweed in his wife, it's really disgusting! ”

His own ideology was criticized by her to the point that he was incomplete, and Li was very angry, but what made him even more depressed was that he didn't dare to attack, and endured it again and again, he asked: "According to what the lady said, if a man is not powerful outside, will he have no dignity when he goes home?" ”

Chrysanthemum said sharply: "Whether a man has dignity at home or not, it is not how much silver he earns home, nor how much of an official he makes, but his morality, if he is a person with high morals, he has no ability to make money, and he is worthy of the respect of his wife, on the contrary, he has earned gold and silver, ranking first among the hundred officials, so what?" As long as he is of inferior character, he will not be respected by his wife! ”

Li Sheng said: "Dare to ask the lady, what kind of man is noble in your eyes?" In your eyes, has Li been classified by you as a person of inferior character? ”

Xiangyun gently knocked on the hand stove in his arms, looked up at the roof of the car and thought for a while, and said: "Is this, it's really hard to define, anyway, in my eyes, a man with noble character must be the kind of real man who can stand up with his fists and move up on his arm. ”

Hearing this, Li Sheng's face was suddenly clouded, extremely ugly, he had been reading the books of sages since he was a child, and the books taught were the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, his machismo has been deeply rooted, in his concept, women are men's dependents, they should have obeyed their husbands, and they can't refute them, even her parents should respect him because their daughter has become his dependents, and look down on him, but she is so arrogant and domineering, and she doesn't take him seriously, it's really hateful!

He really wanted to beat this unethical woman until she was served, but he didn't dare, if he dared to touch her, maybe she would turn around and go back to the palace to complain to the queen mother, let his head fall to the ground, even if he didn't go to the queen mother to complain, the Shen family and his wife would not spare him, he moved their hearts, maybe they would really take him away and drive him out of the house, then wouldn't he have changed back to his original helpless and poorly fed appearance? So, he glared at her for a moment, but still lowered his eyes.

Forget it, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, for the sake of a good life in the future, it is nothing to be wronged now, I think that Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, can still be humiliated by his crotch, he is just a little woman to ridicule a few words, it's not a big deal.

Having made up his mind, he adjusted his feelings, and a few times, he wanted to try to talk to Chrysanthemum, but Chrysanthemum lay on the window of the car, just looking at the scenery outside the window, and Ben didn't even look at him, he mentioned a few topics, Chrysanthemum refused to pay attention to him, just looked at the restaurants outside and drooled.

When passing by Bafu Hot Pot City, Chrysanthemum suddenly slapped the carriage and shouted, "Stop, I'm going down to eat hot pot!" ”

As soon as the coachman outside heard the eldest lady's order, he immediately stopped the car, and Chrysanthemum said to Li Sheng: "I'm going to eat hot pot, you go back and pack your luggage, oh!" By the way, I tell you, you can go back by yourself tomorrow, I won't go back with you. ”

After speaking, she got up and got out of the car, and said to Xiao Kui, who was sitting on the wheel: "Xiao Kui, let's go, let's eat hot pot!" ”

Xiaokui jumped out of the car, and as soon as she walked to Chrysanthemum's side, she saw that the curtain of the car was lifted, and her aunt walked down, walked to the side of the young lady, and said, "I'll go with you, it just so happens that I haven't eaten in the morning!" ”

When Chrysanthemum heard this, her face fell, and she didn't save him any face: "You go eat by yourself, I don't want to eat again!" Aoi-chan, go, go back! ”

After speaking, he got into the car with his hands and feet, Li Sheng was left outside, and when he saw the car drop him and drive away, he gritted his teeth unconsciously, his face was red and white for a while, and it took a long time to recover his original color.

He didn't want to eat hot pot, he just wanted to take this opportunity to try to make peace with her, but she didn't expect her to refuse to give him a chance, on the street, in front of everyone's eyes, and he didn't even give him any face and walked away, which was really hateful......

Chrysanthemum returned to the car, without Li Sheng's car, the air was suddenly much more comfortable, she said loudly to Xiaokui through the car wall: "Xiaokui, what do you want to eat, I'll invite you later!" ”

Xiao Kui has been by the chrysanthemum's side for a long time, and the chrysanthemum's temperament is becoming more and more similar, they are all heartless, only have a heart-eating eye, just now I was still worried about the cold war between the young lady and the uncle, when I heard that there was something delicious, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I said with a smile: "We are both very good at eating, why don't we go to the buffet, it's delicious and cost-effective!" ”

"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten a buffet in a long time!" Chrysanthemum immediately responded enthusiastically, and then ordered the coachman to drive the car to the cafeteria.

Outside the cafeteria, Chrysanthemum got out of the car happily, and was planning with Xiaokui what to eat for a while, when another carriage stopped beside them, the car was very magnificent, not like ordinary people could afford it, and it suddenly attracted the attention of the master and servant of Chrysanthemum.

The coachman put a stool under the curtain, and the curtain was lifted, and two maids of fifteen or sixteen years old with their hair in a double bun came down, and then a slender white jade hand was born, which was dyed with cardamom, and had a bracelet of red coral on its wrist.

Chrysanthemum looked at the well-maintained jade hand, and couldn't help but admire: You don't need to see anyone, just see this hand, you know that the owner of the hand must be a beauty.

When the curtain of the car was lifted and she saw the people walking down inside, it proved that her guess was indeed correct, and what came out of the car was indeed a handsome woman with a bookish atmosphere.

Ning Huaixiu got out of the car, and when she saw Shen Juhua who was looking at her, she smiled unconsciously: "Hello Miss Shen!" ”

Chrysanthemum was stunned for a moment, pointed to her nose and said, "You know me?" ”

Ning Huaixiu smiled gently: "Huaixiu is fortunate to have seen Miss Shen once in the palace last year, and Miss Shen's beautiful appearance made Huaixiu unforgettable, so I remembered it." ”

All women love to listen to others praise their appearance, Shen Juhua is no exception, hearing Ning Huaixiu call her 'beautiful and unforgettable,' I suddenly had a good impression of her in my heart, and said with a smile: "Since I saw it in the palace, my sister must also be the daughter of the official eunuch's family, I don't know what my sister is called?" ”

The maid beside Ning Huaixiu said: "My young lady is the eldest daughter of the prime minister of Chaoning, and the girl can call my young lady Miss Ning." ”

As soon as Chrysanthemum heard that the other party was actually the daughter of the prime minister's family, she hurriedly bent down and wanted to salute her, but was pulled by Ning Huaixiu: "Sister Shen and I hit it off at first sight, thank you for the false courtesy, if my sister doesn't dislike it, just call me Sister Ning, I'll call my sister Sister Shen, how about it?" ”

The other party is the daughter of the high-ranking prime minister, but she has no shelf at all, and she takes the initiative to show favor to her daughter of the six-grade official, of course Chrysanthemum will not refuse, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Shen is also here to eat the buffet?" Let's go together, I invite you! ”

Ning Huaixiu said happily: "Okay, let's go!" ”

After speaking, he took Chrysanthemum's hand and went into the cafeteria with Chrysanthemum affectionately......

After Liu Xi came out of the palace, he stopped by to inspect his property, and he had already begun to sell his property in preparation for his future departure from the capital. It's a pity that after a turnaround, the property of the rich people in the capital has shrunk greatly, and many of his properties cannot be sold at a high price.

For example, his Bishui Villa, although the houses inside were destroyed, but the pavilions and pavilions are still there, and a large garden, which has a unique garden style, rare and rare flowers and trees, these alone add up to a lot of value.

I think that at the beginning, he spent 250,000 taels of silver just to buy this Zhuangzi, but now he can't sell it for 150,000 taels, and his cafeteria, the big façade, and the booming business, but he can't even sell 50,000 taels of silver, which really doesn't make people live.

He roughly calculated, all his industries together, it was worth three or four hundred thousand taels, and if the earth dragon turned over and got rid of these industries, it could be at least thirty percent more.

Hey, bad luck!

However, no matter what, he is a normal man, and if he loses a little financially, he will lose a little, the money is earned by people, as long as someone is there, why worry about not making money in the future? What's more, he still has so many good ideas to make money that haven't been implemented!

When he inspected the cafeteria, his car had just stopped at the door of the cafeteria, and before he got out of the car, he accidentally saw Shen Juhua coming out of the restaurant in the car window, she was wearing a red orangutan felt cloak, holding a hand stove in her arms, and was talking to another woman with a smile.

After she was taken captive last time, Shen Luming and his wife went to Bishui Villa to ask him for help, but at that time, he had just finished the transplant operation yesterday and was lying at home groggily, not knowing that they had come for help. He was secretly sent back by Cai Wei, and the housekeeper didn't know that he was back, so the Shen family and his wife were sent away by the housekeeper, and he only learned about the chrysanthemum being taken away afterwards.

When he was in Bianzhou, Lord Shen had helped him very carefully, but this time he didn't help the Shen family, and he was very ashamed, although he didn't deliberately avoid it, he didn't mean not to help, but when he saw Shen Juhua, his face was still a little ashamed.

Chrysanthemum didn't see him, still focused on talking to the girls beside her.

"Sister Shen, let's go to Ruifuxiang together, I heard that there are a lot of new tricks, and my sister will help you pick two pieces and go back to make clothes!"

Shen Juhua has never been interested in jewelry and clothes, and when she heard that Miss Ning invited her to buy materials, she suddenly collapsed and said: "Sister Ning, my clothes are enough to wear, and I don't want to buy any Laoshzi clothes, if you love me, accompany me to the 'Zhuyuan Theater', I heard that there was a monkey recently, and the monkey pretends to be very similar, both men and women can play it, and they play every day, I really want to go and see it!" ”

Ning Huaixiu froze for a moment, and then laughed happily: "Coincidentally, they all say that the monkey is very good, and I was also thinking about going there to see the excitement, but I didn't expect that we would think of a piece, it's really heartfelt!" ”

Shen Juhua said happily: "Then let's go quickly, I really want to see the appearance of the monkey pretending to be a merchant, I heard that it is interesting......"

While talking, the two held hands and left affectionately.

In the car, Liu Xi looked at the intimate two, touched his chin and pondered.

Ning Huaixiu is the prime minister's daughter, she has always been above the top, and she never disdains to associate with people with a lower status than her, why would she condescend to show favor to Shen Juhua, just now when Shen Juhua proposed to go to see the monkey, her expression was clearly disgusted and even disdainful, although it was just a blink of an eye, but the expression at that moment could hide the chrysanthemum, but it couldn't hide him.

In his previous life, there was a discipline that was still very new in the scientific community, but was valued by the security bureaus and criminal investigation agencies of various countries, called micro-expression psychology.

The so-called micro-expressions, that is, the subtle expressions of people, are so subtle that they are fleeting, and it is often difficult for people without professional training to capture them. But it's these expressions that are difficult to capture that often reveal what people really think inside.

Experts who can recognize these expressions and see through people's true thoughts are called micro-expression psychologists, and there is also a more apt name - mind reading experts.

In his previous life, he had to deal with powerful political enemies and various elites, so he deliberately learned this new subject. It can be said that in this world, people who have the ability to lie in front of him have not yet been born!

He was sure that Ning Huaixiu was lying, her expression was too exaggerated, and she was more excited than the person who made the request, and she had been in the palace for several months, Liu Xi knew her a little bit, she was not the kind of character who leaked out of her mood at all, so her excessive "happiness" was pretended, and it was used to hide her disgust.

Why would she do that? Could it be that she wants to use chrysanthemums to please the queen, but if she wants to please the queen, isn't it more convenient for her to please the general's wife or Mrs. Mu? Why bother to go near and far to please Shen Juhua?

Isn't this scientific?

Liu Xi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he called a Chang Sui next to him, and said in a low voice: "You go and check Miss Chaning for me, find out what she has been doing recently, remember, the Ning family is not easy to mess with, you must be careful, be careful not to put your little life into it." ”

Chang said casually: "Yes!" He left quietly.

In the past two years, Liu Xi has become rich, just in case, he deliberately spent a lot of money to invite a few very famous knights on the rivers and lakes to be his constant entourage, these people have extraordinary abilities, although they are not as powerful as the dead soldiers raised since childhood, but because they have money to make, he treats them very well, so the entourage is also loyal to him, and the tasks he gives will be completed by them with all their might!

Xianbei

In the warm Yuzhao Palace, the plum blossoms are fragrant, the sound of the piano is leisurely, Chao Gui and He Lanhao are sitting on the kang, eating hot pot affectionately, Chao Gui is wearing a pink cardigan short jacket, embroidered with a delicate butterfly peony pattern, under a long skirt of the same color, the long black hair is not tied up, but casually draped, hanging behind the back, looking like a smooth black satin, very good-looking.

Compared with the concubines on the ground who are full of pearls and emeralds, they are both plain and elegant, and they look very comfortable.

"Your Majesty, you can eat it!"

Chao Gui fished out a piece of cooked mutton from the boiling pot, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in Helan Hao's eating plate to eat the plate of plums, and did not forget to look at him with silky eyes.

He Lanhao picked up the piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, swallowed it, and praised: "Very good, there is nothing better than eating this in winter!" ”

Chao Gui took another chopstick of spinach, put it on Helan Hao's plate, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you should also eat a little bit of vegetables, spinach can nourish blood, detoxify, and protect your eyes, you always sleep so late at night, eating some spinach is good for your body!" ”

He Lanhao obediently put the spinach into his mouth and said, "Don't patronize me, you eat it too, you are all pregnant people, how can you eat more?" As he spoke, he had already sandwiched several chopsticks of meat and vegetables for Chao Gui.

On the ground, several concubines sat on a table, looking at His Majesty and the unscrupulous show of affection in the future, their hearts were sour, but they couldn't hate it, because if it weren't for the queen's grace and persuasion of His Majesty Xià The rain would have been wet evenly, and they were still thirsty now, although they are not favored, but they have all been lucky, and there are two lucky ones, who have been pregnant with the dragon seed like the queen.

Therefore, even if Her Majesty pampered the queen, although everyone was envious and jealous, but they didn't hate, in comparison, the queen's favor was much better than the concubine's favor, and when she wanted to make the concubine favored, she was jealous and scary, and she looked at her as if she was iron and copper, not to mention letting them sleep, that is, whoever dared to look at Her Majesty more would be beaten out by her eighty sons, and she would beat a rotten sheep's head in front of everyone.

But after the queen was favored, not only was she jealous, but she also took the initiative to persuade her majesty to share the favor with everyone, and often gave everyone the opportunity to get close to her majesty, so everyone's gratitude to the queen was far greater than her jealousy, and it was precisely because of the queen's grace and generosity that the concubines were very supportive of her.

Ling Guifei is Hannah, although she was named a concubine, but the grace is not as good as a day, once was the favor of the special room, and then was divided by the queen half of the favor, and later, the remaining half of the grace was also scraped by these foxes in the harem, last month, His Majesty Xià only stayed in her palace for three nights, not as good as the queen's fraction!

Hearing the queen say that her majesty always slept late at night, and listening to her ears as if the queen was deliberately stimulating her again, she couldn't help but think of some pictures that drove her crazy, so that the eyes that looked at the queen were even more hateful.

"How did the queen know that spinach nourishes the blood, detoxifies and protects the eyes? Don't you deliberately make it up to fool your majesty in order to please you, right? Although your intentions are good, the sin of deceitful king is not something you can afford. ”

Chao Gui smiled gently: "I also listened to what Queen Mu said, whether it has really been verified or not, Your Majesty, you won't blame me!" ”

Saying that, those bright eyes stared at He Lanhao, with a helpless smile on her delicate little face, every time she was in danger of Hannah, she always smiled helplessly, but she never complained, nor did she-for-tat, seeing that He Lanhao was distressed and angry, she couldn't help but stand on Chao Gui's side and help her deal with Hannah.

"How can I blame you, you are also for my good, how can I be so ignorant, besides, since the queen of the Great Jin Kingdom said so, ten ** spinach has this effect!"

"Your Majesty doesn't blame me, come, drink some wine, drink wine in winter to warm up."

As he spoke, he poured a cup for Helan Hao: "This is what I brought from Dajin, and it has been buried under the roots of the big pear tree outside the palace, there are only two altars in total, and only this one altar is left, let's take it out today and drink it together!" ”

Saying that, Ling Xiaoman went to pour wine for everyone, everyone heard that this wine was so precious, and they couldn't wait to taste it, only Ling Guifei sneered: "Who did the queen drink the first jar of wine with?" ”

She really ridiculed Chao Gui's identity as a remarriage, and she was also reminding Helan Hao that Chao Gui was a second-hand product, so as to reduce Chao Gui's good impression in Helan Hao's heart.

Sure enough, after Chao Gui heard her words, her face showed an embarrassed look, and the concubines who were talking and laughing also became silent all of a sudden, they were all concubines left by Helan Qi, and they were almost the same as Queen Chao Gui, because of this identity, they often felt embarrassed, and they hated others the most for mentioning it, Hannah originally wanted to hit Chao Gui, but she inadvertently offended everyone.

Everyone already hated Hannah, and now they hate her even more!

When Helan Hao heard this, he glanced at Hannah coldly and said, "Concubine Ling is drunk, let's go back and settle down!" ”

Hannah didn't want to leave, arguing, "I'm not drunk, I'm not drinking at all, how can I be guilty?" ”

Chao Gui said softly: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Ling doesn't want to go back, let her finish eating and then leave, and go back with everyone later, there is a companion on the way to talk and laugh, and the province is lonely." ”

Another meaning of this sentence is that Her Majesty will stay here tonight and will not go to her.

Originally, His Majesty promised to go to Hannah's tonight, but looking at the queen's intentions, it was obvious that she wanted to cut off her beard.

Hannah stopped doing it, and immediately said in a cold voice: "How can I be lonely, Your Majesty has already promised to go to my palace tonight, and if you are lonely, you will be lonely!" ”

"Your Majesty promised to go to your place tonight?"

Chao Gui showed a blank look, and then said: "It's okay, then let His Majesty go with Concubine Ling later!" ”

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "I came earlier than everyone else, when I came, I saw that there was a royal doctor, and I heard the imperial doctor say that the queen has been unwell for the past two days, so it is better for Your Majesty to stay and accompany the queen tonight, after all, the queen is pregnant with the dragon heir, and there is no room for a little difference, I believe that Ling Guifei will definitely take the dragon heir as the priority!" ”

The rest of the concubines listened. They all echoed one after another: "The dragon heir in the queen's belly is our Xianbei son-in-law, the gold is expensive, Your Majesty should stay!" ”

Helan Hao didn't want to go to Hannah, but she was crying and noisy so much that she had to agree to go over tonight, and as soon as she heard everyone's advice, she immediately went down the steps: "It's okay, I'll stay in the queen's palace tonight!" ”

When Hannah heard this, her heart suddenly cooled half, in the past few months, Helan Hao has become more and more cold to her, she has also cried, made trouble, and been hysterical, but it has no effect at all, the more she cries, the more disgusted he is with himself, now, she doesn't cry or make trouble, and even he is fortunate that these women are resigned, but he still doesn't like himself, and he doesn't even want to leave her at least face.

He had promised to go to her palace in the evening, but now that he had released her pigeons, what face did she have to mingle in this palace?

Chao Gui glanced at Hannah lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Is it appropriate? Concubine Ling won't blame me......"
