Chapter 18
After sending away the sisters who had come to drink tea, Po took out his father's letter and read it, and the more he looked at it, the more strange his face became, and he couldn't help but laugh at the end.
Yan Hui re-brewed a pot of flower tea and asked with a smile, "What is the girl laughing at?" Be careful, the old man knows that you are going to be angry when you laugh at his letter. ”
Ah Bao carefully folded the letter and put it away, and said, "Because I know why my grandmother is so angry today." As he spoke, he said a little incredulously: "Daddy wouldn't have written the same letter to several uncles, right?" Daddy shouldn't be like that...... Unreliable, right? ”
I have to say that as a daughter, she still knows her father better, and Li Jiyao really did it!
Yan Hui didn't know what she meant, but Yan Sheng responded very positively: "Girl, everything the master does is for the good of the girl, and he will definitely do it!" ”
Seeing her look like a dog's leg, the goose slapped her head on the itch with her hand, she didn't know anything, and she was embarrassed to echo it, and she had her share in the fight between cats and dogs.
guessing that his father might have done something stupid again, Po felt a little sympathetic to his grandmother and several uncles for a while, and their nerves were about to collapse again. In fact, Ah Bao is also very strange, under this feudal social atmosphere, how did his father develop this kind of character? At some point, the words and deeds of his father Li Jiyao made Ah Bao feel very modern people's thinking and discipline, and he used to think that he was also wearing it, but when he found out that it was not, Ah Bao couldn't help but start worshiping this indigenous father, and he also wanted to know how he could have so many ideas beyond the times. However, after more than ten years of research, Bao has come to a conclusion: Li Jiyao's advanced and wonderful thought has surpassed the limitations of the times, and the future is unlimited.
Not to mention his father, early the next morning, someone came to the palace and summoned her to the palace on the order of Concubine Qi.
Because of this, Mrs. Wei Yuanhou asked the housekeeper to entertain the people from the palace, and then hurriedly came over to take care of Ah Bao, until she felt that there was no problem with her clothes and jewelry, and then took Ah Bao to the front yard hall.
As soon as they came in, Ah Bao came forward with Mrs. Weiyuan Hou to ask for guilt, and bluntly said that they had waited for a long time.
It was the confidant grandmother next to Concubine Qi and the palace maid next to the seventh princess Xiao Lingxu who invited Ah Bao into the palace, and they did not have the slightest displeasure about Ah Bao's delay because of the change of clothes, and they were still smiling.
"Miss Li, don't be polite, it's our princess who misses you, so she asked the slaves and maids to come and invite you into the palace to accompany you." Chu He, the round-faced palace maid, said with a smile, she has a steady bearing, and her speech is not slow, which makes people feel good about it. "Since saying goodbye to the eldest princess's mansion in Changping, the princess has been thinking about Miss Li, and Miss Li is still our princess's life-saving benefactor."
Po smiled modestly and said that it was his duty to save the princess.
Another grandmother also smiled and said, "Since Miss Li is ready, let's enter the palace with us." ”
Mrs. Wei Yuanhou was busy asking people to reward the two, and after telling Ah Bao a few words, she let them leave, but she turned around and was worried.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Isn't it good for the fifth sister to be appreciated by the nobles in the palace? Li Mingyi asked strangely, how many noble daughters of the family can't look forward to the blessings.
Regarding the matter of Ah Bao being summoned into the palace by the concubine, the people in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion had mixed reactions after knowing the truth. The old lady said that she knew that there was no other command. The second room is also worried, but he is worried that the seventh princess and Ah Bao are not on good terms, and they are afraid that a life-saving grace will not be able to offset the grudge they once had. The third and fifth rooms are a little jealous, especially the girls who have not left the pavilion in the two rooms, and they are envious and jealous in their hearts.
"What do you know, the concubine and the seventh princess are so easy to get along?"
Mrs. Weiyuanhou felt that her youngest daughter was raised too innocently by her, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although the eldest daughter is sensitive enough and sees things thoroughly enough, she is born with a proud and noble temperament, and she can be regarded as disabled, and the younger daughter is the youngest because she is the youngest, and she will inevitably love a little more, who knows that she has been developed into an innocent and lively character, and there is no sense of distress at all, it seems that the younger daughter's family affairs she has to carefully consider it.
******
Qi Guifei and the Seventh Princess are indeed not easy to get along!
Qi Guifei's family background is not obvious, and it is not only the word holy grace that can climb to this position, but sometimes even the queen has to avoid its edge, if there is no means, how can she firmly occupy the holy grace? Concubine Qi has a son and a daughter, the second prince Xiao Lingjie and the seventh princess Xiao Lingxu. Compared with the spoiled temperament of the seventh princess, the second prince Xiao Lingjie is a prince with a virtuous name, and he was named a virtuous king when he became an adult, which shows Emperor Zhengde's love and expectations for this son.
In Chaoyang Palace, the seventh princess was coquettish next to Concubine Qi: "Mother, my daughter really likes my cousin, can you ask my father to marry me and my cousin?" ”
Qi Guifei frowned, and said unapprovingly: "Idiot, don't you know what Lu Dao Changping's idea is these days?" ”
The seventh princess gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Of course I know that my aunt is interested in Li Mingjin's father's ability and wants my cousin to marry Li Mingjin as his wife!" But so what? I am my father's favorite daughter, enough to be worthy of the royal cousin! ”
"Since you know the plan of Dao Changping, you will extinguish this heart." Qi Guifei said to her daughter earnestly: "It's useless for your father to spoil you again, you are a girl's family, there is a prince above, the prince has always been not in harmony with us, if the prince is on the throne in the future, I don't know how Lu Dao was born." Sighing, Concubine Qi couldn't help but be a little worried, "And Changping and the emperor's mother are compatriots, the emperor loves this sister the most, if Changping is unwilling, it is impossible for the emperor to marry his daughter to Zhou Yu." So don't always use your identity to oppress others, for some people, your identity is not enough! ”
The seventh princess was stunned, her mother had never spoken to her so harshly, and she had always spoiled her so much that she had developed such a pampered temperament. But when she heard the truth, she couldn't stand it. Thinking that he couldn't marry his beloved cousin, tears fell, and he cried: "Can't the mother pity her daughter?" My daughter really likes my cousin and is willing to be my cousin's wife......"
"But Changping doesn't want you to be her daughter-in-law, so what can you do?" Qi Guifei is realistic, for the eldest princess of Changping, although she is a concubine, she is helpless. And as he grows older and gets older, the emperor's favor is no longer as good as it used to be, and now it's just a matter of taking a spot. Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde is a nostalgic person, and he always has some affection for them, women who have followed him for a long time.
"Could it be...... Isn't there anyone who can make my father change his mind? Didn't my father always listen to my mother? "The seventh princess is still unwilling.
"Shut up!" Qi Guifei shouted: "You take care of your mouth carefully, don't just look at the surface and don't have a little brain." ”
After drinking her daughter, seeing that she was so frightened that she bowed her head and wept, Qi Guifei had a headache, blaming herself for spoiling her too much, acting rudely, and never thinking about things deeply. Compared with her son's excellence, this daughter is so simple that it makes people headaches.
Qi Guifei took her little daughter into her arms with pity, and said for a while: "The mother concubine scolded you for your good, don't blame me." That's it. She sighed, her still charming face stained with jealousy, "Who said that no one can make your father change his mind?" There is indeed such a person, if she is still alive, I will not be able to sit in this son now, I am afraid that the entire harem is her world. Your father is even willing to break up the harem for her, and he is infatuated with her......"
The seventh princess was a little stunned when she heard this, forgot to cry again, and saw her mother in a trance, and couldn't help asking, "Who is that person?" ”
"The mother of your fifth imperial brother."
"How is that possible?" The seventh princess blurted out, with a deceived expression, "Who doesn't know that the most disgusted thing by my father is the five emperor brothers, the five emperor brothers grew up in the cold palace before they were ten years old, if it weren't for the prince's brother who accidentally found the five emperor brothers running out of the cold palace, maybe the five emperor brothers are still staying in the cold palace now." Moreover, the elder brother of the Five Emperors is ten years old, and he can't speak, read and write, like a mute, and he is laughed at by many people in the upper study......"
Listening to the seventh princess tell the story of the life of the fifth prince, Qi Guifei secretly shook her head and interrupted her, "Okay, these are all things in the past, you must remember, stay away from your fifth emperor brother, don't mess with him." Last time in the Prince's Mansion, you and Ronghua made things difficult for Li Mingjin, and you were met by your five emperor brothers, if it wasn't for the pressure of this palace, you would have been scolded by your father. ”
The seventh princess was a little angry, she just hated Li Mingjin, and when she saw the old hatred together, she couldn't control herself. Originally, Li Mingjin saved her life in the mansion of the eldest princess of Changping, and she was grateful, but with the actions of the eldest princess of Changping these days, she was annoyed with Li Mingjin again, and even knew that Li Mingjin might marry Empress Zhou, and her jealousy could no longer be suppressed.
However, when it came to the fifth prince Jin Wang, the seventh princess remembered the previous plan again, and said to Qi Guifei: "Mother, since my aunt has taken a fancy to Li Mingjin, let's just let Li Mingjin marry her cousin?" ”
Qi Guifei squinted at her.
She covered her mouth and smiled: "I think Li Mingjin and the Five Emperor Brothers are also quite compatible, aren't they?" ”
