In the Hanshou Hall of Concubine Duan of Ci'an Palace.

The eldest princess of Jing'an looked at her little daughter who was already crying and lying asleep on the bed, gently picked up her hand and looked at the two rows of tooth marks on her hand, and said angrily: "That little girl of the Lin family was born of a dog, and she bit Ning Yu's hand like this." How precious is the skin of my daughter's family, how can I get it if I have a scar. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an said again: "No, I must go to the emperor to return to justice, and I can't let my child suffer in vain." ”

Concubine Duan looked at her daughter and said, "I said you should save it, do you think that the one sitting on the dragon chair is still your father." ”

Half-brother, or the half-brother she has looked down on since she was a child, how much affection can she have for her.

Concubine Duan continued: "Look at the emperor's favor to the Lin family, yesterday he was crowned a 'Zhenren Lady', and today he was a 'county lord', and I can't wait to give all the good things to the Lin family." ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor is really, even if he is named 'Mrs. Zhenren', even the title of the clan has been given to the girl of the Lin family, a seven-year-old child, what merit does she have, I am not afraid that she will not be able to bear such a great blessing." ”

Concubine Duan said: "Don't be jealous, who let the Lin family be a minister." The treasury was empty, and Xuanguo Gong was in charge of the household department, proposing to increase the tax on land. The emperor did not want to impose too heavy taxes on peasant households, but only wanted to increase commercial taxes. But the Wu family is the biggest businessman in the world, and the Wu family privately unites with other businessmen to oppose this policy, do you think the emperor doesn't know about the small actions made by the Wu family? But if you look at the in-laws of the Wuguo Mansion, they are also merchants, but they first responded to the emperor's policy. If I were the emperor, I would also like the Lin family. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an said: "You said that the Wu family is true, why do you have to go against the emperor, he wants to pay taxes, and act according to the emperor's wishes, and today it is not the turn of the Zhuang family and the Lin family to pick up this credit, and their family is not short of this bit of silver." ”

Concubine Duan said: "Where is it so easy, the Wu family has a big business, and a tax increase is a matter of tens of millions of taels of silver, and the Wu family persuaded the emperor to increase the tax on the field and pay other people's taxes, and when it comes to touching his own interests, he wants to pluck the hair from him and give it to the court?" Difficult. What's more, this matter will offend other merchants, but the dealer is risking offending other merchants to curry favor with the emperor, whether it is worth it or not, it is not yet known. ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an sighed and said, "I knew this earlier, I should have been kind to the emperor when he was young. ”

But who knows, in the end, it will be this unknown imperial brother who sits on the throne, and the prince, King Qi, and King Wei, who she used to be fond of, all went to the underworld. In the past, when the crown prince and King Qi bullied the emperor, she only watched coldly, so that the current emperor did not look at her as an imperial sister very pleasantly.

The eldest princess of Jing'an complained to Concubine Duan with some dissatisfaction: "You still say that you are smart, I think you are not as good as Concubine Lian, look at how vicious Concubine Lian's eyes are." "Hold the emperor's thigh early.

Concubine Duan looked at this daughter, her face turned cold, and she said angrily: "If you want to blame, blame you for not being a man, otherwise you can fight for this throne yourself." ”

The eldest princess of Jing'an was choked by her and couldn't speak.

When she was a child, she knew that Concubine Duan was quite disgusted that she was a daughter. I've always wanted to have a son, but unfortunately I didn't.

Concubine Duan also had a resentment in her heart, she used to look at Concubine Qi Xian unpleasantly because she occupied the heart of the first emperor. In the harem, how many women are because of this, they can't wait to get rid of her, but it's a pity that after losing her two children, she was protected by the first emperor, and they were afraid of the emperor's prestige, and they didn't dare to do this first.

But the first emperor loved Concubine Qi Xian, Concubine Qi Xian had no powerless maiden family, the emperor neither occupied nor long, even if the first emperor passed the throne to him, where was it so easy, everyone did not believe that the emperor could inherit the throne.

But as a result, relying on the three families of Lin, Wu, and Cui, the emperor ascended to the throne.

If she could guess this ending, she would definitely treat the emperor as if he were her own son. But it's too late to say anything.

The eldest princess of Jing'an did not stay too long in Ci'an Palace, and took her daughter back to her eldest princess's mansion.

On the other side, the Mansion of the Kingdom of Wu.

After the Zhuang family heard the news that the emperor wanted to make Lin Wan the county lord, he asked the Li family with some trepidation: "Mother, do you think this will be too honorable?" ”

Yesterday she sealed her mother, and today she sealed her daughter, which made her heart go up and down.

Zhuang said: "I think it's better to refuse the title of county lord." "The daughter of her Lin family, even if she doesn't have the title of county lord, she can live well.

Li was calmer than her, and said: "Since it was sealed by the emperor, what can't we stand it, and we didn't force the emperor to give it." ”

"But ......"

Li said: "It's nothing. ”

Zhuang sighed and didn't say anything more about it.

She said again: "Youyu lives in the palace, I don't feel at ease after all, let's let someone take her back." ”

Li Shi said again: "There is her own sister in the palace, what is there to worry about." It's just that I had a few arguments with Wu Wuniang and Ning Yu, isn't it okay. Children's homes, how can there be no quarrels. ”

Li Shi thought about it and said: "By the way, I heard that Ning Yu has returned to the eldest princess's mansion with the eldest princess Jing'an, so let someone send some medicinal herbs over, and then apologize." ”

Lin Wan bit Ning Yu, so she didn't feel anything. This is like the girl from their Lin family, the tiger girl should have the appearance of the tiger girl, if she is bullied and can't even fight back, then she will be disappointed.

However, the number of courtesies on the face still needs to be sufficient.

Zhuang said yes in a low voice.

Seeing that she was still worried, Li Shi changed the topic and said, "Have you done your salute?" ”

Zhuang said: "It's almost there, with Shi's help me, I'm almost ready." ”

Li Shi told her again: "Prepare more small clothes, small shoes and small hats, I am afraid that I will not find any good fabrics in the northwest." There is also a nurse, find a good and go with you, when you get to the northwest, I am afraid that it will not be long before you should give birth, these are ready, and you will not be in a hurry when the time comes. ”

Zhuang said: "Yes, thank you mother for mentioning it." ”

Li Shi was still not at ease after all, and said: "Forget it, I'll let Fu Mo go with you on this trip." ”

Zhuang said: "How can this be done, Fu is the person you are used to calling, she followed us, what should my mother do." ”

Li said: "It's not that I can't live without her, let her follow you, serve you until the full moon, and then let her come back." She came back just in time to tell me what the child looked like. ”
