"How can the matter of the emperor's heir be so child's play!" Cao Taishi obviously would not give in, as soon as he spoke, Cao Taishi suddenly opened his mouth and nodded yes.

The Liu family also saw the clues, and they stepped forward one after another, saying that Jun Wu was joking.

Seeing that the court was about to become a troublemaker, Liu Xuan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly winked at Li Che slyly.

Li Che took her cunning into his eyes, covered his lips with his hand and coughed lightly: "You Aiqing don't have to argue. ”

As soon as Li Che spoke, the court suddenly fell silent.

Li Che put down his hand, glanced at the ministers and said: "This matter is my fault, although I am the Son of Heaven but also a man, I made a promise with emotion, but I forgot that the matter of the emperor's heir is not only my private matter, although you have no jokes, but it is related to the lifeblood of the country, and I have to break my promise once." ”

He looked at Liu Xuan, who was kneeling in the hall, and his voice softened: "I give you three years, if you are still not pregnant within three years, I will have to break my promise to accept the harem." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the ministers: "In this way, do you Aiqing have any objections?" ”

There was silence in the court, and after a long time, Mrs. Liu took the lead in replying: "The minister has no objection. ”

Although Taishi Cao was unwilling, he also knew that this was the best result, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and replied: "The minister has no objections. ”

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Cao spoke, and the rest of the ministers immediately said, "The ministers have no objections. ”

So the matter of accepting the harem was settled after Liu Xuan made such a fuss.

Afterwards, Liu Xuan was supported by a small pillar, and walked out of the hall with unwilling pain and grievances.

Not long after leaving the main hall. Xiao Zhuzi couldn't help it, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so his face was slightly distorted.

Liu Xuan wiped the tears on his face and saw his appearance, and said with a smile: "If you want to laugh, you can laugh, I won't blame you." ”

Xiao Zhuzi coughed and coughed, and finally his face was as usual, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Niangniang's trick is really clever, and it will take three years to delay it." ”

Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and she sighed slightly: "It can only be delayed for three years, and then we will find a way after three years." ”

"The minion believes in the mother." Xiao Zhuzi smiled and said, "Three years is a long time." It's enough for His Majesty and Niangniang to come up with a better way. ”

Liu Xuan is not as optimistic as Xiaozhu. How difficult it is for Li Che in that position, she knows better than anyone else, although now that he has basically mastered the government, most of the external troubles have been eliminated. But most of the power of the dynasty is still scattered in the hands of the major families. Some things don't change overnight.

For example, he can ignore it. made herself a concubine against the infamy of the world, but she couldn't say it bluntly, and she insisted on saying that she would never fill the harem.

Not only could not, but when Cao Taishi and others put forward such an opinion. Ambiguous and imaginary.

She understands his difficulties and feels sorry for them.

Now that I think about it, my former self just asked, relying on his favor to ask for his promise, but I never thought about what kind of trouble his promise would bring him.

Emotional things can never be long-lasting, since she wants to spend her life with him, then she should also work hard for this.

Today was a good start, he believed that she would not hide it from her, and deliberately sent someone to remind her of it, just to see how hard she tried, and she also informed him of her attitude, but this was only the beginning.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Zhuzi and said, "Concubine Cao, they are almost here, let's go back to the palace quickly." ”

Not long after Liu Xuan returned to the Ganlu Palace, Cao Ying led the two women over.

The two women were good-looking, and they all looked gentle and virtuous, and when they saw Liu Xuan, they saluted: "Fang Cairen, Chang Cai people have seen the noble concubine Niangniang." ”

Liu Xuan got up and smiled: "No courtesy, it's all your own family that doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Cao Ying smiled when she saw Liu Xuan, and said as she took two steps forward and walked: "I knew that there would be such a day, but this day was much later than I expected. ”

Liu Xuan got up and stepped forward to greet her, and when she heard this, she only smiled and nodded: "Some things can't be avoided, it's better to face them calmly." ”

After speaking, she took Cao Ying's hand and led her to sit down on the side, then looked at the two women and said, "You can sit too, it's tiring to stand and talk." ”

Fang Cairen and Chang Cairen thanked Liu Xuan, and after seeing Cao Ying take a seat, they sat down in her lower position.

Liu Xuan quietly took the actions of the two into his eyes, Hua Ying was right, these years of life have long worn out the arrogance of these two people.

After taking a seat, Liu Xuan instructed Huaying to give a good gift, and she smiled and said: "It's all gadgets, this is a little bit of my heart when we meet for the first time." ”

Fang Cairen and Chang Cairen each got a hairpin and a string of jewels, and the two handed them to the palace maid beside them and told them to put them away carefully, and then handed them a gift.

Fang Cairen smiled slightly, with a little caution: "This is my hand-embroidered handkerchief, and I don't know what Niangniang likes. ”

Liu Xuan took the embroidered handkerchief handed by Huaying, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai is ingenious, this embroidery skill is even more outstanding, I love it." After saying that, she handed the handkerchief to Huaying and asked her to take it.

What Chang Cai gave was a pair of ancient calligraphy and paintings, and it must have taken a lot of thought.

Liu Xuan thanked her, and then said with a smile: "Compared with the two talents, my gift is light." ”

She turned around and instructed Flower Shadow, "Take two pieces of jewelry from my makeup box and give them to the two talents." ”

Fang Cai and Chang Cai didn't dare to say again and again, Cao Ying on the side said with a smile: "My sister's gift is already precious, if I give it again, I'm afraid that the two talented people will be afraid." ”

The two talented people spoke in unison, and Liu Xuan didn't let Huaying take it.

She handed the wooden box containing the unique book prepared by Huaying to Cao Ying and said: "I'm ashamed, I have been friends with my sister for many years, but I don't know what my sister likes. ”

Cao Ying was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then there was a chuckle. She took the box handed by the palace maid beside her and said, "My sister and I actually thought of going together, and my gift is also a few unique books." ”

Liu Xuan was also stunned when she heard this, and then chuckled lightly after being stunned, such a tacit understanding of giving a gift together made her feel a lot less embarrassed because of her identity.

After the two laughed, they suddenly had a sense of intimacy, Liu Xuan silently thought, if Cao Ying had never liked Li Che at the beginning, and had not forced Li Che to marry her with her own affairs, maybe she and her could really become friends, or maybe the name of Beijing Shuangzhu could become a good story.

Today's meeting is just a meeting. Fang Cai and Chang Cai are always a little cautious about Liu Xuan. This new concubine Liu Guifei, they had heard of the name as early as when they were in the prince's mansion, and they also knew that the reason why His Majesty had not entered the backyard for the past two years was her.

They have fought and been jealous. Envied. When His Majesty married a side concubine, they also thought badly. See, she is no different from them, and she is ultimately abandoned.

So they brought up the matter in front of Cao Guifei from time to time. After squeezing her, the truth that can be told from Cao Guifei's mouth is so chilling.

They will always remember Cao Guifei's bitter appearance: "In the past, I had the same idea as you, how could a character like Your Majesty only like her, but the truth had to make me bow my head, no matter what we did or how we did, we would not be worthy of her smile at Your Majesty." ”

Before coming, Cao Guifei specially reminded: "Don't be delusional, even if she has married someone else for two years, His Majesty still took her into the palace and sealed the concubine, isn't this enough for you to recognize the reality?" ”

Enough, really enough, these are enough to make them die, and now all they want is not to provoke Liu Guifei to dislike it, give them a decent and better treatment, and then spend the rest of their lives.

So when they faced Liu Xuan, they always picked up some flattering words, and they didn't dare to say Your Majesty, and they didn't dare to mention the grace of the past.

Liu Xuan chatted with them about some childhood anecdotes, probably got to know them a little, and then sent them away.

Looking at the back of Cao Ying's departure, Liu Xuan sighed with emotion, Cao Ying once said that she regretted it, but now what can she do, she is the same as her in the high wall, in this deep backyard.

The only difference is that she has Li Che's company, while Cao Ying is just lonely.

Maybe one day in the future, her and Li Che's intentions can be revealed to the world, and maybe at that time, she may be able to do something for Cao Ying.

Thinking of this, she shook her head, and for now she should take care of herself.

After Qian Tong went back, he wanted to go to see Liu Xuan's third uncle and family immediately, but after thinking about it, Liu Xuan's third uncle Liu Deqing had already served in Jingzhao Mansion, and he must not be there at this moment, so he made a mind and recruited someone to investigate the major families that Liu Xuan had instructed to make a living.

He knew what Liu Xuan meant, what she wanted was not what the major families had done to make a living, what she wanted was the livelihood of the major families, which were monopolized and others could not interfere.

After two years of experience, he can even think of Liu Xuan asking what he wants to do, plus now that the Liu family has entered Beijing to seek a job, Qian Tong faintly senses in his heart that the sky in the capital seems to be changing, and he is one of the key chess pieces.

Finally waited until the evening, Qian Tong immediately got up and went to Liu Deqing's temporary residence.

Liu Deqing's family has been in a panic since they were taken to the capital half a year ago, after all, whoever slept well, when they woke up, they suddenly found that a large family was still walking in the carriage, and they were not in a good mood.

Especially after entering Beijing, they were arranged to live in this mansion, and the first person they saw turned out to be Liu Zhiqing, the first genius in the world.

When Liu Zhiqing went to Yizhou to serve as the Taishou, Liu Deqing's family had already left Yizhou, so they had never seen it, and when they saw the world's first talent, Liu Deqing's heart was even more frightened, Liu Zhiqing was the first close minister around the new emperor, and everyone knew this.

Liu Deqing's first thought was, isn't it true that the saint has repented today? At the beginning, the matter of the right minister felt that it was light? So they brought their family from Huzhou to behead?

However, what Liu Deqing never expected was that instead of escorting them to the execution ground, the first close minister of the new emperor found a petty official for himself.

The master of Jingzhao Mansion Yin is a small official in the capital, but for Liu Deqing, he is a big official who he can't think of in this life.

He went to work every day in a panic, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because he knew that no good thing came in this world for no reason, and he had been waiting, waiting for these things to have a reasonable explanation.

However, half a year has passed, and the days are still as usual, even the original willow branch green only appeared once, and then there was no trace of it.

Liu Deqing had to tell everyone at home every day that he must not cause trouble, he must not have conflicts with others outside, even if he suffers any grievances, he must endure it, and if he can not go out, it is best not to go out.

Today, Liu Deqing mentioned his face again at the dinner table, and just finished speaking, but he heard the little servant report: "Yipinxiang is in charge of money, and the money manager is out asking to see the master." ”

Liu Deqing chuckled in his heart, he couldn't tell whether he was excited or scared, he waited for half a year and waited for half a year, and finally arrived.

Liu Deqing hurriedly threw away the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and then said to the little servant: "Quick, invite someone to the study!" ”

Qian Tong was led to the study by the little servant, and when he saw Liu Deqing, he immediately made a salute, this salute was the courtesy of a domestic servant, and he said respectfully: "The villain Qian Tong has seen the third master." ”

Liu Deqing has been in the capital for half a year, so he naturally knows that Qian Tong is the housekeeper of Liu Xuan, the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, and also knows that Liu Xuan has now entered the palace and become a concubine.

However, what he thought was how this Miss Liu's name could be the same as his niece.

It's just that he thinks like this, Mrs. Liu's status as a righteous daughter is too high, even if he is given ten dares, he doesn't dare to think about it on the same person's mind.

But now as soon as Qian Tong's words came out, Liu Deqing was stunned.

The horror in his heart almost made him unable to maintain his standing, his hands trembled a little, and he watched Qian Tong stammer for the first time in his life: "Qian ...... Money Stewardship...... Be...... It's ......"

Qian Tong smiled and nodded, in response to what he had not said, he took out the account book handed over to him by Liu Xuan from his arms and handed it over: "Third master, this is what Niangniang asked the villain to hand over to the third master, and Niangniang also said that if you have time, you will see the third master another day." ”

The latter words were naturally not said by Liu Xuan, Liu Deqing took the account book tremblingly, and said hurriedly without looking at the account book: "How can you let the concubine Niangniang come to see the minister, since it is the minister who has gone to see the mother." ”

Qian Tong nodded when he heard this, and then said: "These account books are the property that Niangniang handed over to the third master, and after the third master read it, the villain will send the title deed and the house deed to the third master, as for the third master to see the third master, this matter may have to be delayed, the mother has just entered the palace, and some things are not suitable to do now." ”

Liu Xuan's reputation Liu Deqing is clear, although Liu Xuan has entered the palace now, it must be unsatisfactory, Liu Deqing nodded again and again when he heard this: "Don't worry, the minister is awake." (To be continued......)
