118 There is no good feast
The Duchess of Guo fainted until she returned home, and Jiang Tian hurriedly pressed one hand on her pulse and carefully diagnosed. "Old Five, what's the matter with the old lady, why haven't you woken up for so long?" Jiang Xu asked anxiously.
Jiang Tian touched the pulse of the Duchess of the country, and looked embarrassed, "Grandmother is very old, and her temper has always been irritable. β
The Duchess opened her eyes, but she only opened her mouth, unable to speak, and looked like she was going to die.
Jiang Tian comforted, "Grandmother, your body and bones are fine, as long as you wake up." I'll prescribe a prescription and heal in a few days. β
The eldest lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, hiding her suspicious expression.
Jiang Tian came out with a prescription, and told everyone about the patient's diet. After the instructions were finished, Jiang Xu called him to the study alone, and asked, "What is going on?" β
Jiang Tian shook his head: "Originally, there was no such thing as today, and my grandmother could last for a year and a half, but now, at most, it will not be more than a month." β
Jiang Xu sat on the chair and muttered, "What a vicious girl!" β
He already understood why Li Weiyang was so aggressive in the palace today, what she wanted was not only Jiang Nan's life, but also the life of the old lady! This shows that she had already guessed that the old lady's life would not be long, so she immediately came to a life talisman!
Jiang Hai frowned: "Father, I'm afraid that this girl is not only angry with her grandmother, her real purpose-"
Jiang Xu nodded, and said in an extremely solemn voice: "She wants the second brother and your brothers to come back to guard filial piety." β
Jiang Hai gritted his teeth: "This girl! This trick is really vicious! After thinking about it, he said again, "I'm afraid that she won't succeed lightly, as long as His Majesty makes an order-" The military generals outside have been exempted from Ding Wei, not in the past!
Jiang Xu let out a long sigh: "In the past, His Majesty would still believe in us, and as long as one will was needed, Ding Wei could be relieved, but now, it is impossible." His Majesty is staring at us, otherwise he wouldn't have executed your fourth brother because of this matter. β
Jiang Hai couldn't think about Ding Wei's matter, and said eagerly: "Let's not talk about this first, father, you can save the fourth brother!" He was just on the spur of the moment! β
Jiang Xu shook his head with a heavy face, and said, "I always feel that this girl still has a back move, and we can't act rashly." β
Jiang Hai couldn't help it: "But that's your biological son, can you watch him stay in the prison for a month and then behead him?" β
Jiang Xu shook his hand and said, "You go out, let me think about it for a while." β
Jiang Hai wanted to say something, but Jiang Tian pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to say any more, the two brothers walked out of the study dejectedly, Jiang Hai said: "If the third brother is here, he must have a way!" β
The third son of the Jiang family is known for his resourcefulness, although the dazzling Cheng DΓΉ is not as good as the majestic Jiang Nan on weekdays, but in fact, he is the most favored by his grandfather among the five brothers, and he has always taken him with him. If he is here, he will definitely not fall for Li Weiyang! Jiang Hai couldn't help but become worried.
Jiang Tian really didn't dare to say anything, he inadvertently became Li Weiyang's stepping stone, and was ruthlessly used by others, and now he didn't even dare to go back to the Li family, for fear of being caught by the other party, but at home he was extremely guilty, no matter how he looked at it, he was not a person inside and out.
"Grandmother - is there really no help?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but ask again.
Jiang Tian shook his head: "I can only try my best to prolong her life, but I can only survive." As he spoke, he thought in his heart, Li Weiyang, a terrible woman, is simply a terrible star, who dares to provoke it! The fourth brother is too, if he loses his official position, he will lose it, will he not live if he has no official? If others live well, you can't stand it and go for trouble! Hurt ...... It caused the whole family to be frightened.
Jiang Hai didn't have much energy, Jiang Tian's face was not good, he really didn't know what to say, the two of them had been for half an hour, and neither of them could say a word.
Li Weiyang returned to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, and the old lady saw her and said busily, "What's going on?" β
Li Weiyang saluted first, the old lady waved her hand to let her sit, and ordered the girl to bring fruit and snacks for her to eat, Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Old lady, Your Majesty will marry Chang Xi to Lord Jingzhao Yin Yao." β
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "That widower who is a widower?" "On second thought, it's a good family affair. In addition to this man's life being a little hard, his family background is suitable, not to mention that he wants to be a wife, which is not a grievance Li Changxi. The old lady stared at her eyes and asked again, "What about the Jiang family?" β
Li Weiyang regretted, "Old lady, Jiang Nan was sentenced to be executed. β
"Oh my God, the two families are also relatives, it's really uncomfortable to watch him like this." The old lady sighed on the surface, but in fact, she was secretly refreshed in her heart, "This is also a sin." I'm afraid that the Duchess of Guo can't stand this age! β
Li Weiyang took a sip of tea, glanced at Jiang Yuelan, who was silent next to him, and said slowly: "It's not because of the shameless things that their family did themselves, not to mention introspection, but they hated us and put up a position to frame us. β
The old lady said with a smile, "It's very true, the hijacking of the daughter of the official eunuch was also caught, and he is a guilty person, so it should be sentenced." "Actually, she is a little strange, according to the emperor's sentence of confiscation and exile, it can be regarded as a magnanimous result for the Jiang family, why is the sentence so happy this time.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end." Li Weiyang said quietly.
The teacup in Jiang Yuelan's hand accidentally made a noise, the old lady glanced at her, her heart immediately jumped, and she said with a reluctant smile on her face: "What the third lady said is yes!" β
The old lady sneered and stopped talking. Originally, she didn't want to be too stiff with the Jiang family, but the Duchess of Guo's actions have always been domineering, she has endured the old woman for decades, and now she has a bad breath, although she is also worried about the Jiang family's revenge, but after all, her heart is comfortable, and even her complexion has improved for a while.
When Li Weiyang left, Jiang Yuelan couldn't sit down, so she said goodbye and left. Mother Luo said: "Old lady, these three young ladies are really amazing!" β
The old lady whispered, "She's only a few years old, and if she designed it all according to what you said, wouldn't she be a monster?" What kind of family background is the Jiang family, how can she calculate lightly? It should have been a coincidence. β
"It's still the old lady's discernment, and the slave thinks the same way. Although the third lady is a little smart, it shouldn't be like this. Mother Luo thought in her heart that this matter must be related to the third lady, but she followed the old lady's words.
"Jiang Xu has been an official all his life, but this time he was planted in the hands of a little girl, all for his children!" The old lady sighed.
Li Weiyang came out of the old lady, and Li Minde was waiting in her yard: "Does the old lady blame you?" β
Li Weiyang shook his head, "She herself has been angry with the Duchess of the Kingdom for decades, and it is rare to get back Yicheng, how can she blame me, not to mention that this matter was originally a trap set by the Jiang family, and it is not me who is to blame." β
Li Minde said softly: "Look, does the Jiang family still have a chance to turn the tables this time?" β
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "It's hard to say. β
Li Minde sneered: "This family has a lot of eyes, I'm afraid they want to think of some bad ideas." β
Li Weiyang didn't seem to hear it, hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said, "I'm not afraid, no matter what idea they think, after all, the evidence in our hands is conclusive, and this is enough for the Jiang family to drink a pot." Now they should be worried, what will happen to the funeral of the Duchess of the Kingdom. β
Li Minde glanced at the girl in the room, didn't speak, but just smiled, waved his hand and asked people to bring a basket of red lychees, Li Weiyang couldn't help laughing: "Where did you get this new thing?" β
"I saw it in the market by accident." Li Minde said in a relaxed tone.
Lychees are not a specialty of Kyoto, so how can they be sold at the market? In these years, I'm afraid there may not even be one in the palace. Li Weiyang blinked, as if he didn't know, Bai Zhi put the fresh lychee together with two cups of fragrant tea and two plates of fine snacks, and said with a smile, "The lychee is very angry, Miss don't eat too much, you have to eat later." β
Li Weiyang smiled, "I can't eat so much, you can send half of it to Aunt Seven, and eat the rest yourself." β
"Thank you, miss." Bai Zhi went out with a smile.
When the girls all went out, Li Minde said softly: "Today in the palace, you are too risky." Although he didn't go in person, Concubine Lian had already passed on the news, and even he was apprehensive when he heard it outside, Li Weiyang was too bold this time! If one is not good, it will be bitten back by the Jiang family.
"This time, the people we should clean up have been cleaned up, and the people who should be sent have also been dismissed, Jiang Nan's abduction of Li Changxi is already a certainty, and there is no possibility of overturning the case." Li Weiyang half-squinted his eyes and touched the tea cup in his hand.
"If he hadn't thought about harming me first, I wouldn't have used such a vicious trick. Today in the court, if I don't open my mouth, it is easy for them to say that Jiang Nan and Li Changxi have already had a personal relationship, and then Jiang Nan will just be a merry son, and Li Changxi will marry and be a concubine, then the situation I have worked so hard to make will be completely over. In order not to let my hard work go to waste, I naturally had to take some risks. Li Weiyang said slowly.
Li Minde nodded in agreement and said, "I heard that you also revealed the past affairs of the eldest lady in the main hall?" β
"I already knew that Jiang Xu was cunning and cunning, and he was not easy to fool. So first told Jiang Rou about it, and then there was disrespect to his mother-in-law, and persecution of concubines and concubines. In normal times, this kind of thing is nothing, but in the royal family, except for the crown prince, they are all considered concubines, and if the queen does the same, the emperor will not be able to keep a son. Because of this, His Majesty must have relatives in his heart, and the Duchess of Guo will also be annoyed and angry, and she must be seriously ill, and Jiang Xu will hate me to death because of this. At this time, he no longer has the usual sense, so I will take out the matter of Jiang Nan violating the holy decree and holding the daughter of the official eunuch hostage, and I swear that I believe it, and everyone watching the play believes it, not to mention him, the authority? Everyone will believe that Jiang Nan kidnapped the wrong people, not that I deliberately set a trap to kill them! β
Li Minde smiled slightly, "I'm worried about you." The Jiang family is a meritorious achievement in the world, don't let him come back to his senses and turn it over again. β
"He won't have this kind of opportunity, just the things Jiang Rou has done, he is already unorthodox, his goddaughter has no way, and he is spurned, and the Duchess is very protective of her shortcomings, so she naturally refuses to admit her guilt, but Jiang Xu understands in his heart that the sacred heart has been lost, and Jiang Nan is dead!"
Li Weiyang did not have a trace of pride on his face, but just explained this matter in a straightforward manner.
"Speaking of which, there are still a lot of doubts, how can you arrive so quickly, and report to Jing Zhaoyin, there must be people here who are suspicious." Li Minde said in a low voice.
Who knows that Li Weiyang smiled slightly, "What they want is for them to suffer this loss, what about suspicion, is there any evidence?" What's more, my sister disappeared and reported the case immediately, the matter is serious, Jing Zhaoyin arrived in person, what's so strange? In the past, such examples were not uncommon, and the Jiang family's tongue and lotus could not change this ending. β
Li Minde laughed, took a peeled lychee and handed it to Li Weiyang's lips, "Taste it, the juice is very sweet." β
Li Weiyang subconsciously ate it, with a trace of juice left at the corner of his lips, Li Minde actually dragged her chin with one hand and wiped her carefully with the other, "Don't accidentally get your clothes dirty." With a mouthful of muttering, but his fingertips lingered on her face, Li Weiyang stiffened and subconsciously pushed him away. However, her eyes can't take her eyes off, in the past few years, this young man has gradually grown up, gone to the childishness of his childhood, more and more handsome, and his gestures reveal intimacy, now it is a little weird to think about it, Li Weiyang thought to himself, and couldn't help but be frightened. It's just that he can't show the slightest abnormality on his face, and just smiles: "I'll come by myself, I'm not a child." β
Li Minde's eyes darkened, but he smiled quietly: "Did I do something wrong?" β
Li Weiyang lowered his eyes, and before he could express his position, Li Minde said again: "Forget it, don't say it." I know you don't say it, but you still think I'm dirtyβ" Unconsciously, there was a little pain in his eyes.
Li Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "What nonsense are you talking about-I'm just ......" I just feel that something is wrong with you. But that's really hard to say.
Li Minde looked at her, his eyes shining: "Don't you hate me?" Are you sure? β
Li Weiyang felt that if he said that he hated it, he was afraid that he would commit suicide with a sword on the spot, so he hurriedly promised: "Of course not, I grew up with you, and the relationship has always been very good," how awkward it is to say this, she prides herself on being older than him, how can she suddenly become the same age as him and her? "We're so handsome, how can anyone hate you in this world?"
"I don't care if anyone in this world hates me, but there is always someone who is different from me, so I care more about what she thinks." Speaking of this, he paused, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and smiled lightly, "You are the only person I care about." β
Li Weiyang looked at him quietly, his eyes flashing.
Li Minde's eyes were soft and shining, and his expression was a little shy, and he became more and more gentle: "Isn't it weird to say this?" β
"Not weird." Li Weiyang's heart was shocked, but he replied with a casual look on his face, "You already rely on me." β
Li Minde smiled and said, "Maybe." Except for my adopted mother, there is no one in this world who truly cares for me, and if even you are lost, I will have nothing left. His smile faded, his eyebrows thickened, and for a moment, he was dyed with sadness.
Li Weiyang looked at him, only to feel that his voice floated from a long distance, so far away after a lifetime. The voice carried an indescribable affection, which made her involuntarily feel infinite pity.
"Mindeβ"
"I say these words, not to make you sympathize with me, I just hope that you can cherish yourself more for me, especially in the face of danger, and don't hesitate to cut off all your retreats." Li Minde added in his heart, I don't know what it's like to like someone. But every time I see you, my heart is warm. When I can't see you, as long as I think about you, I don't feel cold. Life in the Li family was originally meaningless, but thinking about your appearance and thinking about what you told me, time passed all of a sudden. How amazing is it, why do such miracles occur in human life? Obviously, it's still the same sunshine, the same weather, and the same environment, but just because there is one more person, I feel that everything is different......
Li Weiyang was completely stunned, she suddenly realized that her risky move had worried the other party, and his voice swirled, looped, and repeated in her head. Over and over again, every word he said was so clear, and the expression on his face, a smile, a raised eyebrow and a blink, was still distinct. He told her not to take the risk lightly, because he would be worried. These words made her hesitate.
"I've been successful because I don't have any baggage." Li Weiyang said softly, "Now, I have a mother, a younger brother, and you, and you are all by my side, so I will have weaknesses, I don't like weaknesses, and I don't like to be caught by others, do you understand?" So she teased Minzhi, but she didn't invest too much affection in him, protecting Aunt Seven, but she just watched from a distance and never approached. Minde always said that he was an intolerable being, but Li Weiyang felt that he was the person who should not survive in the world, reborn and changed her fate, her life was only left with the word revenge, but the road of revenge was lonely and decisive, she may be occasionally weak, but she must not have any concessions.
In the face of her brainless words, Li Minde didn't look surprised at all, and said lightly: "But if there are no weak people, there are no people and things that you care about and care about, even if you take revenge, what do you rely on to continue to live?" β
After Li Weiyang heard this, his expression became more and more peculiar, and he looked at him deeply for a while before muttering, "It's okay if you don't have it." Because, once you have it, you can't give it up. β
She paused for a moment and repeated again, "I don't want to be weak." β
Li Minde's eyes flickered a few times, revealing a look of understanding.
The third prince Tuoba Shin was absent-minded all day. After returning from the main hall, two girls came forward to serve him and changed into homely clothes, these two people were given by the prince, one was gentle and amiable, the other was pretty and sweet, usually Tuoba was very gentle to them, and occasionally laughed a few words, but now he lost his interest, and when he came back, he didn't even say anything, leaned on the couch, and just slowly drank ginseng tea.
"Your Highness, can the slave rub your shoulder?" The blue water is gentle and gentle, and the watery eyes ripple with the tenderness of thousands of words.
Tuoba stared at Bishui's gentle face, stretched out his hand, clasped her small chin, and rubbed it carefully, the girl lowered her head meekly, but her face gradually turned red.
"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell you to come and be my concubine?" Tuoba Zhen looked at this gentle and delicate face, and the appearance of Li Weiyang speaking naturally appeared in his mind, at that time, her eyes were amazingly bright, so that he was unconsciously covered in blood rushing, and then looked at the girl in front of him, he suddenly became happy, Li Weiyang's face, there was no trace of gentle expression at all, but it was so moving.
Bi Shui's whole face was red, and she couldn't speak, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent her, he did say so.
Gui Xin came in with a plate of grapes and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you like to have fun with your servants!" β
Tuoba looked at her with a smile, "Oh? β
"The slave will ignore you." Gui Xin said that he pinched the handkerchief and smiled, staggered to him, and was blessed, then leaned over with a smile and playful, and asked like a yellow warbler out of the valley, "Your Highness, the slave maid just heard from the person who came back with you that the county lord of Anping made a big fuss about the Golden Palace and sought justice for her sister!" β
Tuoba Zhen's face sank slightly, "The news spread so fast. β
Gui Xinming's eyes rolled proudly, "Look at what His Highness said." Although the slaves and maids are in the inner house, there is no one who doesn't know about such a big case that even His Majesty has to be tried by the royal court. β
Tuoba Zhen groaned, "Oh, what did you say? β
This time, Bishui was not to be outdone, and said: "Your Highness, people outside say that it is the fourth son of the Jiang family who is arrogant and rude, and robs the official and concubine, but fortunately, there is a hero of Jingzhao Yin Yao to save the beauty, but it has achieved a good marriage, and some people say that the lord of Anping County is righteous and upright, not afraid of power, and stands out for his sister, and is a good woman who is loyal and courageous, and some people say that the Jiang family is bullying, arrogant, monopolizing military power, and bullying the king, and some people say that His Majesty enforces ......the law impartially and without partiality."
Tuoba Zhen listened, with a playful smile on his face: It seems that Li Weiyang has already found a storyteller to compile a script, and he will spread it around as soon as the matter is over, which is really capable. He underestimated her again and again, and only today did he realize that this girl was not only cunning, but also a strategist. Still, an extremely outstanding strategist!
At this moment, a thunderbolt pierced the sky, and the thick black clouds suddenly cracked a touch of scarlet, followed by a heavy rain falling from the sky. Tuoba Zhen was alarmed by the sound of rain, walked to the window, looked up into the distance, and said in the clear water behind him: "Today's weather is really strange, the sun is still shining in the morning, and it will rain heavily at this time." β
Tuoba Zhen smiled: "Yes, the weather changes in an instant, and only those who grasp the opportunity can win!" "Li Weiyang, you won this game, so what about the next game? Will it still win?
Half a month has passed in a hurry, the Jiang family has a calm atmosphere, and now Jiang Nan is detained in the prison, Jiang Xu only said that he did not recognize this son, and did not mention anything else, and did not even go to visit in the prison, of course, it is impossible to see it, without the emperor's decree, no one can visit Jiang Nan.
The people of the Li family are still living peacefully, and Li Weiyang still goes to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard every day to ask for peace, and the days seem to have not changed much. In fact, Li Weiyang has been silently waiting, waiting for the result she has always wanted. It wasn't until the Jiang family's post was sent that she found that she was completely wrong.
"On the 60th birthday of the Duchess of the Kingdom, I specially invited Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li, the county lord of Anping, and all the young ladies to participate." The mother sent by the Jiang family to report the news handed over the post with a smile.
Sixty years old? Now the Duchess is still in the mood for her birthday? Old Madam Li raised her eyebrows, as if smiling: "Oh? Do you have a longevity? β
The mother who reported the news smiled and said: "Originally, the Duchess of the Kingdom was unwilling to do it too much, but the Queen Mother in the palace made a decree to ask our old lady to do it well." β
Dowager?! Old Madam Li's smile was a little stiff, she glanced at Li Weiyang, who was calm next to her, and smiled reluctantly: "Of course, we naturally want to go to celebrate the birthday of our in-laws!" β
As soon as the mother who delivered the letter left, the old lady's teacup rested heavily on the table, making a crisp sound: "Why is this old woman still in this mood now!" Her grandson is about to be beheaded in just half a month! β
Li Weiyang lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, as if he didn't hear it, and the old lady couldn't help but say loudly: "Weiyang?!" β
Li Weiyang raised her head, a trace of something flashed on her face, but it was so fast that people couldn't notice it, she smiled and said: "It's understandable that you want to take the opportunity to get rid of bad luck." β
The old lady's face only improved a little when she heard this. Anyway, she looked at the arrogant Duchess and was very unpleasant. It's just that if the Queen Mother personally issued an edict requiring all ladies and ladies of grade to participate, then it is really impossible not to go.
The smile on Li Weiyang's face slowly fell after he came out of the room.
Her prediction was wrong, what she was waiting for was not the news of the death of the Duchess of Guo, but that she was going to celebrate her sixtieth birthday! The imperial doctor she bought clearly said that the Duchess of Guo was short in life, and there was absolutely no possibility of turning around, could it be said that Jiang Tian really had the ability to bring the dead back to life? Li Weiyang involuntarily clenched his hands, if the Duchess of Guo did not die, then her next plan would have no chance to continue!
"Weiyang!" As soon as he raised his head, it was Li Xiaoran standing in the courtyard.
I came to greet the old lady -- Li Weiyang smiled faintly and curtsied. Since that incident, the two of them have never said a word, and when Li Xiaoran saw her, he was always faint and vigilant. Obviously, she was blamed for not greeting him in advance, but Li Weiyang was not afraid, who could have predicted that there would be a forced abduction, and afterwards she was taken to Jing Zhaoyin's yamen, and there was no chance to collude at all, how could Li Xiaoran blame her!
Recently, Li Xiaoran has seen a lot of age, not to mention the gray hair on his sideburns, even his face is covered with a layer of gray aura, and his mental state is not good.
"Get up." Li Xiaoran's face was full of smiles. The relationship between the father and daughter was already very estranged when the Jiang family was about to propose, and Jiang Nan's matter was even worse, but now he is smiling as if nothing had happened...... This city is really incomprehensible.
"The old lady is inside, father go in." Li Weiyang's tone was light, "My daughter retired." β
"Wait!" Li Xiaoran immediately interrupted her words and asked Li Weiyang, "You said the Jiang family ......"
He has been waiting, waiting for the Jiang family's action, and even the other party's retaliation, but the people have not acted, which makes him feel ...... became more and more worried, so he hit Li Weiyang with the idea, wanting to get something from her. But the indifference on Li Weiyang's face made Li Xiaoran not know what to say.
Li Weiyang smiled politely, "Father, the Duchess of the Kingdom is about to celebrate her birthday, did you mean to give any gifts?" β
She was changing the topic, but she didn't mean to mention the Jiang family at all.
Li Xiaoran frowned, and pulled the topic back to the Jiang family, and his tone was questioning: "At this time, you still have the heart to mention gifts?!" Don't you want to think about it, if you poke a hornet's nest, don't you think about what happened, and don't think about countermeasures......"
"Father, daughter is just a woman in the boudoir, where do you know this." Li Weiyang said coldly.
Li Xiaoran was taken aback, looked her up and down unabashedly, and fell into deep thought, under the sun, Li Weiyang's expression carried a kind of coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, he had never seen her with such an expression, and he sighed deeply for a long time.
"Weiyang is still blaming his father? I can't do anything about it! He expressed helplessness and a kind of loneliness that only a father has, as if he was very sad.
Li Weiyang just smiled faintly and didn't speak.
Li Xiaoran didn't expect the other party to be indifferent, and after another moment, he explained to her in a deep voice: "You are about to catch up, why don't you understand your father's helplessness...... Didn't your father finally agree to marry you? β
It was her warning that worked, not that he was soft-hearted and cared for the love of father and daughter! Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, with a hint of disdain that was difficult to hide.
"You-" No matter how deep Li Xiaoran's scheming was, he was rarely angry.
"Father, since he planned to sell his daughter in the first place, why should he act like a loving father?" Li Weiyang looked at him coldly.
Li Xiaoran couldn't believe his ears, is this still the cautious concubine? How dare she, how dare she say such a rebellious thing to her father! He gritted his teeth in anger and stared at her as if he wanted to eat her in one bite.
Li Weiyang looked at him and smiled lightly: "Father, there is no good thing in the world that only takes advantage and does not pay, you expect to sell me in exchange for a temporary peace, and you also have to see if I am willing." You know, I have also done things like fish dying and making a big fuss, and you have also seen it today, my temper has always been not very good, if I talk to my majesty about my father, you sell your daughter for glory, I am afraid that it will not be good. Originally, Li Weiyang didn't turn his face with Li Xiaoran about Jiang Nan's matter, but in the Golden Palace, he didn't say a word for her, and he didn't even mean to uphold justice, it was really too much!
Li Xiaoran's face was blue and white, full of astonishment and embarrassment. However, after all, he has been an official for many years, took a few deep breaths, and quickly reluctantly calmed down: "Weiyang, after all, I am your father, and you are also my daughter, blood dissolves in water, conniving at me to do wrong, how can you speak out!" β
Li Weiyang showed a slight indifferent smile, "Blood dissolves in water, for the sake of interests, you can put it aside and continue to cooperate with the Jiang family." Whatever I say, I don't think you will take it to heart. Father, you didn't say a word for your two daughters on the Golden Temple that day, but you never thought that I would be chilled! β
Li Xiaoran was dumbfounded, doing things in officialdom has nothing to do with likes and dislikes, and every choice must be made to maximize the benefits. At that time, he really didn't take into account that those two were his daughters and his blood and blood, he only thought that if Li Weiyang could not successfully detain Jiang Nan for a capital crime, then the Li family would also be unlucky...... Yes, he is indeed used to protecting himself, even if it is his own children, he can ignore it completely. It is conceivable that if Li Weiyang was defeated at that time, he would only expel her from the Li family. Having said that, he still couldn't bear it when he was pierced all at once, but his lips moved, and his chest rolled with infinite annoyance, and after a long time, he barely controlled his expression and showed a wide smile.
"Weiyang," he said with a sad expression, "Father has grieved you in the past, and I can assure you that nothing like this will happen again in the future, and I will be on your side as much as possible to protect you." β
The words are really good, that's because now he and the Jiang family can't maintain the original situation at all, so he thought of coming to her, but I'm afraid that he will use her to continue to deal with the Jiang family and seek more benefits for him in the court, this old man is really selfish.
Li Weiyang thought in his heart, but there was nothing else on his face, he just paused and said: "Father is magnanimous, think about it carefully, but the daughter is too small-bellied." We are up and down, still counting on you, the court is windy and rainy, please cherish it without permission! β
Li Xiaoran's smile had a crack, he deeply understood that Li Weiyang was telling him that they were one, and if he casually discarded this father's identity, she would not be polite anymore! This is simply a threat, but he can't say anything anymore, she is right, now the barrier with the Jiang family has long been clear, if he is hypocritical, it will be ridiculous! In the eyes of outsiders, Li Weiyang's attitude has already explained his attitude, he showed a sneer on his face, and said slowly: "Weiyang, I understand what you mean, from now on, my father will be on your side." β
Li Weiyang smiled and said, "That daughter thanked her father first." β
In the corridor not far away, Jiang Yuelan and Li Changle watched this scene from a distance, Li Changle sneered and said, "See, there is no place for us in this family." β
Jiang Yuelan's face flashed with a hint of imperceptible emotion, lowered her eyes, and said, "What does the eldest lady mean?" β
If Jiang Tian doesn't come, she won't have enough medicine to stop the itching, she is already about to go crazy uncomfortably, this qiΔ is all thanks to Li Weiyang! Li Changle's eyes shot out of resentment, and said, "Cooperate with our plan and get rid of her in one fell swoop!" β
Jiang Yuelan was silent for a long time, until Li Weiyang's figure had disappeared, she was silent for a long time, and finally, she said word by word: "Sue the Duchess of SΓΉ for me, I will definitely do my best." β
Li Changle smiled, although her body had begun to rot, as long as she could watch Li Weiyang die, she was willing to endure this pain! The birthday banquet of the Duchess of the Kingdom, Li Weiyang, as the nominal granddaughter, must go, and when the time comes, it will be the best opportunity......
Now that the Queen Mother has spoken, this Jiang family's birthday banquet is naturally a special event. Sixty years old is the age of ordinary people to enjoy the blessings of their grandchildren, but for the Duchess of the Kingdom, this day has special significance. Originally, the officials in Beijing had the sharpest eyelids, and no one could see that the Jiang family had been suppressed by the Li family recently, and they were originally all wait-and-see attitudes, but the Queen Mother's decree immediately made people feel that the Jiang family was still Xuanhe's family, after all, no old lady had a birthday, and there was no special edict from the Queen Mother. The most surprising thing is that at this juncture, the emperor actually splashed ink with his own pen and wrote a royal pen plaque to congratulate the Duchess of the country, which shook the whole of Kyoto. Therefore, on the birthday of Mrs. Guogong, officials in Beijing, regardless of their positions, have to line up to give gifts! The gifts have been placed under the hallway, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "piled up". The Jiang family even set up forty tables for a banquet, and the guests who came went to the house first, saluted the plaque with four big characters of "Rui Ai Xuan Hall" given by the emperor, and then went to the place that had been arranged to sit down.
This time when they came to the Jiang Mansion, the Li Mansion's family did not walk through the gate, but were directly led by the girl sent by the Jiang Mansion, and walked into the inner house as a car.
Mrs. Jiang personally greeted the guests at Erdaomen, and when she saw the Li family, she immediately smiled.
"Old Madam Li is here in person, please come in." Compared with the first meeting, this time, Mrs. Jiang was much more enthusiastic, and after Jiang Nan's incident, there was no trace of abnormality on her face.
"The 60th birthday is a big event, so I naturally came to congratulate me in person." The old lady smiled a little out of her mouth.
She didn't want to come, but first there was the Empress Dowager's decree, and then there was the emperor's imperial plaque, as if they were announcing to everyone that the Jiang family's holy family was still there, and she couldn't come if she didn't come!
Mrs. Jiang welcomed Mrs. Li into the hall, and after sitting down, someone naturally served them hot tea.
Li Weiyang's expression was indifferent, and there was no special expression on her face, but everyone in the hall looked at her curiously. Jiang Nan's matter before, but there was a lot of uproar, and now the owners are almost all together, but it's a pity that Li Changxi, the bitter master, is not there, otherwise I'm afraid it will be more lively! But the strange thing is that Mrs. Li is smiling, Mrs. Jiang is doing her duty, Jiang Yuelan has a gentle smile, Li Changle has a delicate complexion, and Li Weiyang, who is the most concerned, always has a faint smile on his face, and has never been affected by the outside world at all, this family is really strange!
Sun Yanjun walked over quietly, sat down next to Li Weiyang, and said in a low voice: "You are here too?" "I looked surprised.
Li Weiyang said with a smile: "The Queen Mother decreed that all the high-ranking officials and daughters should come to celebrate their birthdays, how can I not come?" "Not only come, but also come happily, otherwise you will be left with countless words.
Sun Yanjun nodded and said, "I am coming, otherwise I will be talked about by others...... Did you see, there are a lot of people here today, I think it's bigger than the last time your family did a birthday, outside His Royal Highness the Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince have all arrived! β
Li Weiyang smiled, the emperor pays attention to balance, and he has just hit the Jiang family hard, so he naturally wants to give them a handful to prevent the Li family from being over-inflated, this is the way of the emperor, but today's banquet is obviously not a good banquet......
