Li Changle was locked into a side room, and he hardly saw anyone. It wasn't until the end of the funeral that she was released, originally thinking that this matter was over, but who knew that she was escorted to the Hexiang Courtyard in the middle of the night.

Mother Luo stood next to the old lady, and there were four mothers in the room who Li Changle had never seen, all of whom had solemn faces and did not say a word.

When the old lady looked at Li Changle, her eyes were cold and slightly disgusted, and Li Changle's heart became panicked.

The room was very dark, only one light was flickering on and off, and Li Changle couldn't speak, and the four mothers had already pressed her to her knees on the cold ground.

The old lady's expression has always been kind, and she has never spoken so harshly: "Changle, you dare to have an affair with a man." ”

Li Changle changed color suddenly: "Old lady, don't listen to Li Weiyang wronging me!" The granddaughter would never dare to do something insulting to the lintel! ”

"No more quibbling." The old lady's expression slowly became indifferent, but there was a murderous intent in her eyes, "Relying on your father's favor, you can even do this kind of thing." I said a long time ago that being born too beautiful is a disaster, but your father believed in you to cause this kind of disaster, which simply disgraced the Li family! ”

Li Changle's eyes widened, she had already thought very clearly after being locked up for three days, Li Xiaoran would not do anything to her, so she raised her head: "Old lady, things have come to this point, Your Royal Highness will definitely marry me!" ”

The old lady smiled but did not smile.

Mother Luo said: "Miss, you still refuse to wake up, even if His Royal Highness is willing to marry you, there is no impermeable wall in the world, one day this matter will be known to the world, how will you deal with yourself at that time, and where will you put the Li family?" As she spoke, she beckoned.

The four mothers on the side pressed Li Changle to the ground, Li Changle was suddenly frightened, she tried her best to break free from the eight hands on her body, but she couldn't break free.

She suddenly realized that something was wrong! Very wrong! The old lady wants to-

One of the mothers took out a porcelain vase, and in the dim light, the red-billed crane on the vase looked particularly shocking.

The old lady took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her nose: "How could our Li family raise a shameless girl like you, and I have always been soft-hearted...... Now for the sake of the Li family, you must die. ”

What does the old lady mean by this? Li Changle stared at her in disbelief...... She shook her shoulders and tried her best to resist, "I am the eldest lady of the Li family, it is impossible to die for no reason, when my father finds out, how can you ......explain the old lady?"

The old lady's voice was cold: "Your father knows it very well on weekdays, but he is too indulgent to you, and he can't tell the difference between the important and the serious, and he still lets you live." When he figured it out, he would be grateful to me. "Li Xiaoran should have gotten rid of this girl a long time ago, but he still had hope, even if he married Li Changle, what if Tuoba would marry him in three years, I don't know how much trouble it will cause before!

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! And the Jiang family, old lady, think about it, my grandfather and grandmother love me so much, I also have two uncles, they are already very angry when my mother dies, if you deal with me now, they will definitely not let you go! ”

The old lady's face did not have a trace of hesitation. She sighed, "You still don't know how to advance and retreat like this, and today is all your own fault." ”

Li Changle's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it.

Impossible, how could she decide her life and death so lightly, she thought that her father would marry her to Tuoba Zhen at most, how could he want her life!

"Your mother died suddenly, presumably you will be very sad, too sad, infected with the wind and cold and died, it is not without such an example, you can still win the reputation of a filial daughter." The old lady said lightly, "It's better than being ruined in the future, so don't blame me." As she spoke, she glanced at Luo's mother, and the other party understood, and waved her hand lightly.

The mother immediately went up and pinched Li Changle's nose and was about to pour the medicine into it, but Li Changle broke free suddenly, stood up and ran out desperately, Luo's mother said sharply: "Don't catch her yet!" Immediately, some mothers pounced on her and grabbed Li Changle like a wolf, but she was still struggling like crazy, making the room full of people turn on their backs.

The old lady didn't expect that she still didn't give up, and said loudly: "Catch her and pour the medicine down!" ”

The four mothers held Li Changle down with all hands and feet, and the medicine was about to be poured down, Li Changle screamed loudly, and a mother hurriedly covered her mouth, Li Changle only felt extremely frightened, and his breath was suffocated by the unpleasant smell of medicine, and at this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

A person walked in quickly: "Old lady, what are you doing here?!" Li Xiaoran's face was full of iron, and he stepped forward and grabbed a mother's arm, "Don't let go yet!" ”

The old lady said angrily, "I'm cleaning the portal!" You're too embarrassed to ask me why?! ”

Li Changle crawled under Li Xiaoran's feet lifelessly: "Father, father, you must save me, the old lady is going to kill me!" ”

Li Xiaoran didn't look at her, but said to the old lady: "Mother, I have something to say to you." ”

The old lady frowned, looked at Li Changle, who was lying on the ground with tears and snot flowing out, and Li Changle, who was not as beautiful as before, sneered and said, "What do you have to say?!" ”

Li Xiaoran looked at Mother Luo coldly, and Mother Luo immediately waved her hand, "Close the eldest lady in the side door first." ”

The four mothers carried Li Changle, who was almost paralyzed, into the small side door on the side, and Luo's mother hurriedly went over to close the door and guarded the door.

The old lady said coldly: "Say it." ”

Li Xiaoran's face was solemn: "Old lady, don't act recklessly. ”

The old lady's face remained unchanged: "This kind of faceless little slut, do you still want to keep her to be embarrassing to us?" ”

Li Xiaoran gritted his teeth, and he hated Li Changle in his heart, but there were some things he couldn't help but say: "Old lady, just now the third prince has promised me that he will marry Changle as his side concubine in three years." ”

"Side concubine?" The old lady repeated coldly, and then said, "It's a shame that he can say it!" What time is it? As soon as your wife died, he couldn't wait to run to Li's house to slap you in the face, did you really promise him to succeed?! He is the prince, it is not my turn to deal with it, Changle is a little slut, I can manage it after all! She must die today! ”

Li Xiaoran hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The old lady is angry, the Li family has always been strict, and there is such a bad thing, how can I not be heartbroken?!" But we also have to think about the overall situation, if it is a Tuoba Zhen, I don't care about it yet, but just now, someone from the palace sent a message out. ”

The old lady frowned suddenly: "Concubine Wuxian? ”

Li Xiaoran nodded, and said with a solemn gaze: "Yes, Concubine Wuxian sent someone to send a piece of jade pendant, saying that it was for the right to make a marriage, and when the three-year filial piety period expired, she would ask His Majesty to give him a marriage and give Li Changle to His Royal Highness as a side concubine." ”

The old lady was originally worried about the situation in three years, and she was even more worried that keeping Li Changle would give birth to infinite gossip, hearing this, she sat down slowly and said: "She is very well-behaved, married Li Changle, gave us an explanation, and won over the Jiang family, hum!" ”

Li Xiaoran's face was also very ugly, he had never been optimistic about Tuoba Zhen, and he had no intention of marrying his daughter to him. Now that this kind of thing happened, his original plan was to lock up Li Changle first, and then deal with her after the funeral, or kill or let her become a monk, which can be regarded as a complete reputation, but who knew that Concubine Wuxian suddenly sent someone to send a jade pendant, which would have to be planned separately. If he insisted on refusing to kill Li Changle, he would offend Concubine Wuxian, and things would become strict.

"I know you're angry, but this thing has come to this point, and killing her won't help, it's better to-"

The old lady didn't think so, if she wanted to kill Li Changle, she naturally had a suspicion, if such a person stayed, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, not to mention that Concubine Wuxian and Tuoba Truth are the first, even if they refute their faces, the Li family is not afraid.

Li Xiaoran continued: "Also, my brother-in-law is about to return to Beijing. ”

The old lady frowned, and then raised her head suddenly: "What did you say?!" ”

Li Xiaoran's expression was a little unusual: "Jiang Xu, I will return to Beijing to report on my work in the near future." ”

The old lady suddenly understood what the other party meant, Jiang Xu is the eldest son of Jiang Guogong, the general of the Western Expedition, guarding the western frontier, he has not returned to Beijing for ten years, but now he suddenly came back, I am afraid that the person who comes is not good! She stood up suddenly: "What is he doing when he comes back?!" ”

Li Xiaoran said softly: "I don't know for the time being, I'm afraid it has something to do with the death of Jiang Rou and Mrs. Wei Guo." ”

The Buddha beads in the old lady's hand snapped, and she cut the thread by force, and the Buddha beads rolled all over the ground all of a sudden, and the sound seemed to fall on Li Xiaoran's heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Old lady - Jiang Rou's death, the Jiang family will not give up, this time, I am afraid that it is to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, if there is a matter of Changle at this time, the situation of the Li family and the Jiang family will definitely be worse, and we can't turn against them for the time being."

The old lady slowly sat down again, looked up at the painted beam above her head, and let out a long sigh. A Concubine Wu Xian, she doesn't care about it yet, but if she adds the entire Jiang family, this matter will have to be considered in the long run. Jiang Xu has always loved Jiang Rou's sister, she died suddenly, Jiang Xu was afraid that he would have suspected it for a long time, if Li Changle followed Huangquan again, the Jiang family would not be in trouble! Although the Li family is already the prime minister's family, if it is compared to the deep-rooted century-old Jiang family, it does not have much chance of winning, not to mention that the Jiang family has military power in their hands, no matter how you look at it, the Li family suffers.

In this way, Li Changle can only keep it...... The old lady only felt like a fish in her throat: "That little slut, you have the courage to do such an immoral thing, do we have to continue to provide for her?!" ”

Li Xiaoran was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "It's inevitable that there will be extraneous branches, so I still send her out to be imprisoned." We spared her life, and when the Jiang family asked, we also had an explanation, after all, she was the first to do such a bold thing. ”

The big family, even if there are many waves in private, in front of outsiders, there is no trace at all, this matter is especially related to the reputation of the Li family, and it must not be known to outsiders, the old lady let out a long breath and said, "Just do it." ”

Li Xiaoran said suddenly: "Originally, I was afraid that suing you would cause anger, so I closed the news, I don't know where you learned about it?" "If Li Weiyang secretly told the old lady about the matter, then her mind would be a little vicious.

The old lady said coldly: "Do you think you can hide anything from me in this house, I don't want to think that a few days ago you were still kind to that little slut, and you locked people up with a turn of face!" Isn't there something going on?! Confused! ”

Li Xiaoran sighed, hurriedly confessed, and then ordered someone to send Li Changle to the nunnery on the mountain overnight.

This night, Li Weiyang had a rare good night's sleep, and after getting up the next day, Bai Zhi brought something to serve her to wash, she smiled and said a few words to the girls, and then sent them out, writing and embroidering in the house, and when the hour came, she went out to say goodbye to the old lady.

Zhao Yue saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, so she stopped Li Weiyang at the door and reported quietly: "I quietly sent the eldest lady out last night." ”

Li Weiyang's movements paused, and then nodded lightly: "I know." ”

When I entered the Hexiang Courtyard, I saw Luo's mother muttering in the old lady's ear and didn't know what to say, and the old lady raised her eyes and saw Li Weiyang, so she beckoned to her.

"Your father is really soft-hearted." The old lady seemed to be a little embarrassed, and the tone of her voice sounded awkward, "Depending on the situation, the third prince is willing to be responsible, but he will only marry someone into the door until your mother's mourning period expires, and it is not a concubine, just a side concubine's position, although it is not honorable to say it, it will be enough, so we all feel very embarrassed, what should you do about this matter?" ”

The old lady is willing to say such a thing, she already values herself very much, if she has to instigate the old lady to ask for Li Changle's life, it will seem impersonal and cruel. Of course Li Weiyang would not be so stupid, after all, Concubine Wuxian came too quickly, and the Jiang family's deterrent power was too strong, so under the game between the two, it was natural to save Li Changle's life.

Li Weiyang thought for a while before he said, "In the final analysis, it is the old lady and father who are in charge of this family, and what to do about this matter still depends on what you and your father mean." ”

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It's a pity that it's only a small step late.

Like Li Changle, his mother died, and he had a relationship with a man before the funeral was over, and if he changed the young lady of anyone's family, she had to die, but her life was good, and with the umbrella of the Jiang family, any mistake she made could be forgiven.

Why didn't the old lady think so? She couldn't help but sigh, "I hate this kind of thing the most, but anyone who has a bad family style will fall quickly." Originally, the fifth prince took a fancy to her, and he had to marry her as a concubine, which was already very reluctant, but now this kind of thing has happened, no matter how you look at it, it is a stain on our Li family, this kind of person can't be removed, he must live, and he can't hold his breath when he thinks about it. If there is no Jiang family, your father will not be hindered everywhere. ”

There is a granddaughter in the family who is immoral, the old lady's mood can be imagined, Li Weiyang nodded thoughtfully, and listened to the old lady continue: "That little slut is not sensible, she only thinks about herself in everything, but she doesn't want to think about our family's reputation, now it's good, she made a mistake, but she wants us to clean up the mess for her." ”

It is rare for the old lady to have such a low feeling, but Li Weiyang did not express the feelings in her heart, but persuaded her: "Where did the old lady say, the eldest sister is a member of the Li family after all, she made a mistake, and we can't ignore her if it is not for her, even if it is not for her, it is for the Li family, we must find ways to calm this matter." His Royal Highness Five, the third prince will definitely find a way to keep him shut up, as for my family, it is not difficult to do, falling into this handle is only good for my father, there is no harm to our father, for us, it is just a young lady who has lost her virtue, it is really spread out, of course the reputation is not good, but there is no substantial hindrance, but for the third prince, it is a fatal blow in front of His Majesty, and his future for a lifetime is ruined, so he is more nervous about this matter than us, and his father will be reliable in the future. What's more, there are very few people in our family who know about it, and even if they do, they don't dare to talk about it. However, on the eldest sister's side, I'm afraid someone still needs to take care of it, so as not to cause any more trouble. ”

The old lady had nothing to say at once, Li Weiyang had already explained the whole thing very clearly, she could only nod and said to Luo's mother: "Send more people to watch that girl to make sure everything is safe." ”

Luo's mother hurriedly said, "Yes." She couldn't help but glance at Li Weiyang, this third lady is really ...... looks gentle and smooth, and her smile is so light and soft, but if she speaks, she is really hiding a needle in the cotton, and she is very powerful. Originally, the eldest lady was about to turn over by relying on the master's pity, but this kind of thing happened, and the eldest lady wanted to save the lord's favor, it was no longer possible, don't talk about this, her life was saved before she could ......

The old lady thought about it and felt that this matter was still very inappropriate, but there was no other way for the time being, and said, "Just do it." ”

The study of the Three Princes' Mansion

Tuoba Zhen's study occupies an entire courtyard in the front yard, where all kinds of precious classics, calligraphy and paintings are stored inside, and the outside is a place for living and receiving guests. However, in the past, the most quiet study was full of courtyard guards, and under the eaves of the main room stood six burly men, each with their hands pressed on the hilt of their knives, and their faces were full of slaughter, indicating that they were on strict guard and did not allow anyone to approach.

"Your Royal Highness, Concubine Xian Niangniang has sent someone to send a jade pendant, and promised to be a side concubine."

"Shut up!" In a fit of rage, Takuba smashed a teacup, and the visitor was immediately silenced.

The person who came was He Jing, the first strategist beside the third prince, but he didn't dare to face Tuoba Zhen's thunderous anger at this moment.

When he was framed by Li Weiyang's design, Tuoba Zhen only felt the heat surge, as soon as he closed his eyes, it seemed to see the disdain and provocation in Li Weiyang's eyes, as well as the faint hidden contempt, he was so hateful that he wanted to go crazy! This woman, she dared to do this!

For many years, Tuoba has always hidden a deep resentment in his heart, he hates the emperor, and hates why he loves Tuoba Yu so much! I hate my biological mother even more, and I hate why she came from such a humble background! He is even more resentful, but it is himself, why has he endured humiliation for ten years, and he is still calculated because he is careless! and was insulted by Li Changle, a woman. Why, Li Weiyang would help Tuoba Yu like this, he never understood his ambition to compete in the world, and he didn't understand his sincerity to her! If it weren't for the handle of Tian Jing, a hardcore supporter of Tuoba Rui, who accepted a bribe of 30,000 taels of gold in his hands, now that this scandal had spread to every corner of the Great Li Dynasty, it would make his already immobile situation even more difficult. Why, it's not enough for him to win the emperor's favor, such a smart and capable woman still has to stay by his side and help him calculate! Thousands of words in his heart turned into monstrous hatred, and his face made his facial features hideous together because of excessive anger.

Seeing that the third prince, who had always been personable, suddenly showed such a look, He Jing gasped and lowered his head involuntarily.

In a fit of rage, Tuoba Zhen slammed over the desk and dropped the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the ground.

Seeing the mess in front of him, Tuoba Zhen finally noticed his gaffe, he turned around, took a deep breath, and tried to spit out the turbid breath that was stuck in his heart, after a few efforts, he turned around again, his face was as calm as jade, and his smile was gentle as usual, so that He Jing, who had just seen his face, thought that what he had just seen was just a hallucination, and he said slowly: "I'm out of shape, sir, please get up." Saying that, he even went to help He Jing in person, He Jing took advantage of the situation and said in a low voice: "My subordinates know that His Royal Highness is unhappy, but the current situation is both a crisis and an opportunity. ”

Tuoba Zhen couldn't help frowning: "What opportunity?" ”

He Jing said with a smile: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is all for your sake, marrying Li Changle may not be without benefits." ”

Tuoba Zhen naturally knew this, Li Changle still had a lot of use value, but he couldn't bear to marry this woman in this situation, which was a great humiliation! What's more, "But the original matter of Tian Jing's bribery should have a more important purpose!" Now, for such a trivial matter, I have wasted three years of deployment, and it is really difficult for me to calm my anger! ”

Of course, He Jing also felt that it was a pity, but showing this pity at such a time was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, so he persuaded casually: "If you can win the support of the Jiang family, will it be extremely Tailai." ”

The Jiang family has no daughters, the only concubine is married to the prince, and this concubine is not very favored in the Jiang family. However, the people of the Jiang family attach great importance to Li Changle, if they can get their support through this, of course, it will be an unexpected gain, but this move is too early, and marrying Li Changle now will only cause the emperor and other brothers to be jealous! In addition, Tuoba Zhenzhen still has an indescribable secret, if he marries Li Changle, Li Weiyang will not marry him...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists!

"What a no! I'm afraid it's a big tree! "Li Weiyang, you are really ruthless! At this moment, he took a deep breath and slammed his fist on the armrest of the circle chair!

He Jing looked at Tuoba Zhen with a full face of anger, watching him clench his teeth nervously, his legs under his robe were still trembling slightly, and he was thinking about it quickly in his heart, while sighing secretly, this matter is indeed too unfavorable to the third prince!

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will be able to turn the crisis into safety in the long run!"

On the other hand, Li Weiyang, who came back from the Hexiang Courtyard, was also a little unhappy. If Li Xiaoran didn't go so quickly, Li Changle would be a dead corpse now, cutting the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again, give Li Changle a little chance, she may be relieved.

Li Weiyang randomly picked a peony flower in his hand and played with it, and suddenly a white light flashed in front of his eyes, followed by a thunderclap. Not only her, but Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu next to her were all frightened, and suddenly, the raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.

Li Weiyang looked out the window, just in time to see the pouring rain falling from the sky, forming a white curtain between the sky and the earth.

"Why is it raining so hard all of a sudden!" Mo Zhu muttered, and hurriedly went to close the window.

The next moment, there was another rumbling thunder, and several little girls outside the house were so frightened that they hugged each other, but a young man wearing a hat suddenly appeared in the courtyard and ran in quickly. Li Weiyang was originally in a very bad mood, but now he couldn't help but smile when he saw this kind of scene, and turned around and said, "Go and prepare some clean veils." ”

Bai Zhi looked at it and immediately smiled: "Yes." ”

Li Minde entered the house, he had already become a soup chicken, Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu hurriedly prepared a clean handkerchief to wipe him clean, his hair was soaked, and he was dripping water vigorously, Li Weiyang smiled: "It's raining heavily, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Minde frowned and said, "In the middle of the night—"

Li Weiyang waved his hand and motioned for the girls next to him to go down, before he said, "Zhao Nan told you everything." Zhao Nan and Zhao Yue's brothers and sisters are all Li Minde's people, and it is not strange that they will tell the truth, but Li Minde is a little embarrassed, his white jade-like face suddenly turned red, he did this as if he was spying a little bit, so he was worried that Li Weiyang would misunderstand, and just about to explain, Li Weiyang shook his head, obviously not taking it to heart: "I didn't want to hide this matter from you." ”

Li Minde was relieved and continued: "But the eldest uncle did not deal with Li Changle, and sent someone to send her back to the mountain, which is a disguised protection." ”

Li Weiyang looked at the pouring rain outside, and couldn't help sneering: "He is taboo to the Jiang family, otherwise such a morally corrupt daughter would have been eliminated a long time ago." ”

Li Minde frowned tightly: "From the fifth prince to the third prince, no matter how you look at it, Li Changle will not suffer." ”

Li Weiyang suddenly laughed out loud: "Fool, of course she suffered, and she suffered a big loss." ”

Li Minde thought about it and immediately came back to his senses: "Yes! The fifth prince likes her so much, and she is allowed to be a concubine, but she doesn't know how to lift, Tuoba Rui will definitely not let her and Tuoba really go! Now he tore his face with Tuoba Rui, and was attacked by the five princes and the seventh prince, which is enough for Tuoba to really drink a pot! ”

Li Weiyang smiled: "This is just one of them, and the other is that if you marry in this way, Tuoba Zhen must hate Li Changle's stupidity, according to his character, he will take revenge on her a thousand times, such a pair of resentful couples, I don't know how interesting it will be." ”

When she said this, there was endless ridicule in her eyes, but Li Minde didn't care, or he obviously saw it, but he could only treat it as if he didn't see it. At any time, he unconditionally supports her and believes in her, but - "Three years is enough to change a lot of things, and I got the news that Jiang Xu is going back to Beijing." ”

"Oh—so my uncle is coming back." Li Weiyang laughed, no wonder Li Xiaoran would change his mind and leave Li Changle's life. "This is coming back to mourn," lost two sisters in succession, and finally couldn't sit still? She imagined and asked, "Who else is with you?" ”

"It's not clear for the time being, the people I sent only found it in three days at most, and Jiang Xu will arrive in Kyoto."

Li Weiyang nodded, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and sneered, this storm will come eventually, it is only sooner or later.

Early the next morning, a decree came from the palace, and the Queen Mother summoned Li Weiyang, and everyone was very surprised when the news spread.

Li Weiyang packed up and entered the palace with the eunuch who announced the decree. When she arrived at the gate of the Empress Dowager's Palace, she carefully stuffed the carefully prepared bag into the female official's hand, the female official weighed it, and then said with a smile: "County lord, please." When Li Weiyang passed by her, the female official said in a low voice: "Concubine De came last night." ”

Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

Concubine Zhang Defei, what does she want to do! This woman, why does she always make trouble for her!

The female officer saw that Li Weiyang had understood, so she smiled and led her in. Li Weiyang walked into the main hall, but this time, her mood was not very relaxed. The Queen Mother sat in a high position, and through the sandalwood in the air, her expression looked a little strict.

Li Weiyang saluted solemnly and said, "Weiyang has seen the Queen Mother." ”

The last time the Queen Mother met, she was still very kind, but now she didn't say anything to let Li Weiyang get up, just sat there quietly, looking her up and down.

Li Weiyang's expression was normal, for half an hour, her posture did not even change at all, and her posture was beautiful from beginning to end.

This kind of bearing and courage is not even her granddaughters, the queen mother thought of Concubine Zhang Defei's words, and couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that your mother just died." ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, yes." Because the Queen Mother did not give him a seat, Li Weiyang could only stand and answer.

The Queen Mother's tone was a little more strict: "When the mother dies, the daughter has to keep filial piety for three years, and during these three years, you must pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

"Yes, Weiyang understands." Li Weiyang thought that the Queen Mother's most beloved grandson was the Seventh Prince Tuoba Yu, his face remained unchanged, and he replied respectfully without showing the slightest dissatisfaction. In fact, she was very unhappy in her heart, Concubine Zhang Defei didn't take advantage last time, and actually hit the Queen Mother with her idea, did she want the Queen Mother to stop her from dealing with Tuoba Yu? This Concubine Zhang De, is she looking too highly at her son, her jewels are like treasures, Li Weiyang is not rare! Not to mention a mere prince's side concubine, even if it is a concubine, even if Tuoba Yu becomes the emperor in the future and gives her the position of queen, she will not be rare!

The queen color is cold like never before: "It's good to understand, you are a sensible child, you should know what to do and what not to do." After she finished speaking, she didn't continue to speak in depth, but her meaning was already obvious, although Li Weiyang was smart and sensible, she was not worthy of Tuoba Yu, and it was even more impossible for her to be selected as the concubine, because she was the daughter of a lowly girl, no matter how smart she was, no matter how much the Queen Mother admired her, it was impossible for her to sit in the position of the Seventh Princess.

Li Weiyang clearly heard the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, she knew the Queen Mother very well, the Queen Mother was also lukewarm to her because of her concubine status, she spent a lot of effort to make the Queen Mother like her and accept her, back then she was just an unfavored Tuoba Zhen is still so, changed the Queen Mother's heart and liver baby Tuoba Yu, of course Li Weiyang understands the other party's feelings, but after all, the Queen Mother is the supreme person of the Great Calendar Dynasty, she doesn't need to confront her face, so irrational and stupid, Li Weiyang will not do things that he is not sure of......

The Queen Mother said lightly: "Since you have entered the palace, I will help the mourning family copy the Buddhist scriptures by the way." ”

Li Weiyang bowed his head and responded: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother's Buddha Hall is at the back of the main hall, the Queen Mother stood up, held the female official's hand and walked back, Li Weiyang hurriedly followed, to the Buddha Hall, the Queen Mother recited the Buddhist scriptures, the female official signaled to Li Weiyang, and she walked to the side of the red Fushou case. On the case, the little palace maid has already placed pen, ink, paper, inkstone and thick three scriptures.

"These three scriptures, please go back after the county lord has copied them." The female official whispered the will of the Queen Mother.

Through the heavy curtain, Li Weiyang glanced at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

For four hours, Li Weiyang copied the scriptures word by word. The font on the Buddhist scriptures is very small, and after a long time, you will be dizzy, if you change others, you will already have a sore back and can't hold on, but Li Weiyang has been standing and copying the scriptures, neither saying that he is tired, nor asking for a stool, just silently, standing there, and seriously copying with his hands down.

The Queen Mother looked at her and couldn't help but frown. In fact, she has no dislike for Li Weiyang, on the contrary, she still likes this smart and courageous little girl a little, but it's a pity that her status as a mother is too low, and the emperor praised her too high before, if she doesn't recognize her identity, I'm afraid that in the future, she will have those thoughts of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.

Tuoba Yu is definitely not someone Li Weiyang can climb! The Queen Mother thought so in her heart, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were constantly twisting.

Another two hours passed, and the middle had missed an hour for lunch and dinner, the Queen Mother had already used snacks, but Li Weiyang was hungry, but the female officer next to her looked at her, but she didn't even shake her hands, and couldn't help but be surprised.

How do these people know that Li Weiyang has been in the cold palace for so many years, and it has long been commonplace to starve, and they don't care about this small punishment at all. On the contrary, the longer the time, the faster she copied, and the more upright and powerful the font became, and over time, even the Queen Mother put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and looked at her thoughtfully.

The female official Zhou on the side reminded: "Queen Mother, it's time for you to rest." ”

The Queen Mother stood up and walked out slowly, and when she arrived at the door, she glanced back, but found that Li Weiyang didn't even raise her head, and carefully copied the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, as if she hadn't noticed her departure at all. In the heart of the Queen Mother, she finally admired this strong and endurance little girl. It's a pity that she doesn't have a noble mother, and with such an identity, she is not qualified to be Yu'er's concubine anyway. Perhaps, she can be given to a prince from a low background or a noble family, so that she is not wronged. The Queen Mother thought so in her heart, and then walked out.

Finally, Li Weiyang stopped the brush in his hand, and at this time, it was almost dawn outside.

Li Weiyang raised his eyes: "After copying the Buddhist scriptures, I don't know what else the Queen Mother has to order?" ”

Female official Zhou immediately went out to report, and after a while, she came in and replied, "The queen mother has a decree, and the county lord will offer the copied Buddhist scriptures to the Buddha, and you can go back." ”

When Li Weiyang heard this, there was no resentment on his face, and he earnestly offered the Buddhist scriptures to the Buddha, kowtowed seriously, and then got up to leave.

The little palace maid on the side said: "This county lord of Anping is really calm, last time the sixth princess was punished by the queen mother to copy the scriptures, she cried for two hours!" She didn't even frown from beginning to end! ”

Lady Zhou sighed and said: "This is cultivation and demeanor, the Queen Mother is obviously punishing her, in fact, reminding her that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and Concubine De can stand tall in the palace, it is not a temporary fluke, if she is obedient, the Queen Mother will naturally promise her a good future, but if she wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix without her own strength, the consequences are-" She said halfway, and didn't say any more, just looked at Li Weiyang's back from a distance, turned her head and said, "But when I look at her, it doesn't look like a fish in the pool, It is not known whether there will be a great creation in the future. ”

The little palace maid looked at Li Weiyang's distant back, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

The Great Creation? What a great creation! offended Concubine De, that's a dead end! Isn't it whimsical that there will be any good prospects in the future?

Li Weiyang was led by the palace maid, slowly walked out, and met a eunuch at the palace gate, he screamed: "Who is coming?!" ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Gonggong Liu, this is the county lord of Anping." ”

Gonggong Liu is about thirty years old, his face is white and beardless, and he has a pair of particularly shrewd eyes, his gaze turned on Li Weiyang's face, and he suddenly smiled: "It turns out that it is the county lord of Anping - you are really lucky, the virtuous concubine Niangniang is instructing the palace maids to collect dew in the imperial garden, since you are passing by here, you should naturally go to see one or two." ”

Concubine Niangniang? The only person in this palace who is called like this is Concubine Wu Xian. Li Weiyang's body stiffened for a moment, this Concubine Wuxian is Tuoba Zhen's adoptive mother! Why did she want to see herself?! Just because of a chance bump? No, it's definitely not a coincidence!

------Off topic------

Someone asked me, why did Concubine De kill Weiyang, I want to say that as a mother, her mentality is actually very understandable, haha, Weiyang is a poor child with nothing
