Chapter 361: Anger (I)
Busy moments always make people feel bored, as the master of the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Bao always has a lot of things to do, to deal with, to promote. Li Bao sometimes thinks about why he is so tired?
In the past, the weak chicken prince of the Jinluan Hall of Daming Palace, at that time, Li Baoman had only one simple thought in his heart, that is, to be able to live in Daming Palace. Now not only did his wish come true, but he also possessed a large area of land and a group of loyal subordinates, which he had never hoped for.
The richest man in later generations said well, "The dream still has to be there, what if it comes true." In later generations, when he was still an otaku, he also dreamed of the golden iron horse dominating the world, and now this dream has also come true, he is not only a golden iron horse, but also swallows thousands of miles like a tiger, and the world is powerful.
But these dreams have come true, but Li Bao feels that his life has reached a bottleneck, so what should be the next dream? If you really want to go to the imperial pole to be the emperor, is it the real pinnacle of life?
However, Li Bao's confusion did not last long, because he found that he still had many things that he had not done well, such as how to be a good father.
His eldest daughter Li Xinyue has become much more unfamiliar with him as a father, and although the eldest son Li Sheng can't speak, when Li Bao picks him up, he will always be afraid to cry and unwilling to be close to him. And Yun Fang's daughter Li Xinyan also reacted to her father in the same way as her brother.
The reaction of several children hurt Li Bao very much, so he decided to reduce his official duties and take time to get closer to his family and several children.
He also found that when Zheng Yan, Xin Niang, and Zhang Hui faced him, their eyes always inadvertently radiated a longing gaze, which also made him feel guilty.
So Li Bao summoned Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang and others, announced that he was going to reduce his work, and sent people to Xingyuan (now Hanzhong) to invite the eldest princess of Changning and Li Yi, the king of Mu, to come to Weizhou for a period of reunion.
In mid-November, Li Ying and Li Yi finally came to Weizhou, because Li Bao was working in the Weizhou Mansion, so Zheng Yan led all the widows, wives and servants of the palace to warmly welcome Li Ying and Li Yi sisters and brothers.
Although Zhang Qingping has also followed Li Bao to the east and west over the years, he has not let go of the major events of inheriting the lineage, and now Li Ying has two sons. The two little ones have always been healthy, the older one is the same age as Li Bao's eldest daughter Li Xinyue, and the younger one is only one year younger than the eldest one.
After the ceremony, Li Ying was very happy to see Li Bao's family, especially when she saw Ling'er, who was also a young mother, her enthusiasm Li Ying and Ling'er exchanged mostly parenting experience, and the two of them chatted very speculatively for a while.
But talking about such a topic on this occasion made everyone a little inappropriate. Especially in Zheng Yan's eyes, she felt inexplicably neglected and wronged, so her face was a little bad.
Zhang Hui saw that the eldest princess had been chatting with the bell, which made the princess Zheng Yan very embarrassed, and she was a little anxious for Zheng Yan in her heart, but at this time, she was Li Bao's concubine and had a low status, so she couldn't do anything if she was not qualified to speak.
However, Li Yi has been by Li Ying's side all these years and knows her sister's temperament. Zheng Yan is the concubine of the Zheng family, but some differences between the Zheng family and Weizhou over the years have inevitably made Li Ying feel guilty.
Later, Li Bao and Zheng Yan got married, Li Ying did not show anything in order to take care of the overall situation, and now Li Ying has made up her mind to give Zheng Yan a dismissal in Weizhou this time.
But the consequence of this will only make Zheng Yan lose her prestige in the palace, and it will make Li Bao's family affairs unharmonious, so he coughed and said: "Sister, if you have anything to say, you can talk to Sister Ling'er after entering the palace." ”
Li Ying listened, glanced at Li Yi, and then said with a smile: "What Hachiro said is, let's go, Sister Ling'er." ”
After that, Li Ying took Ling'er's jade hand and wanted to walk towards the palace. However, Ling'er has now come to her senses, and she smiled modestly: "The princess is the mother of the palace, she and the eldest princess haven't seen each other for a long time, and it should be time to say goodbye. ”
What Ling'er said was reasonable, and Li Ying also accepted it happily. Zheng Yan saw that Ling'er gave herself the steps at this time, she immediately resumed her smile and said to Li Ying: "Eldest princess, please enter the mansion with the concubine." ”
The group entered the palace in a mighty way, and after Li Ying arrived at the palace lobby and sat down, the servants served the fragrant tea and pastries that had been prepared long ago.
Cui Niang and Hui Niang immediately began to be busy outside the hall, and the servants everywhere hurriedly took action, in order to receive the guests from afar, the palace began to prepare precious tea, rooms, and fine forage for horses early in the morning. Of course, the most important thing is to place the two Langjun of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess properly.
Zheng Yan, as the host, immediately introduced Li Ying and Li Yi to the sisters and brothers: "Sister and Balang have come to work hard, this is the golden top Hancui produced in Mount Emei specially brought by our palace from Shuzhong, and the cooking is also according to the method that Liulang likes to do, these pastries are the latest made by Meiya Pastry House, and I also invite the eldest princess and Hachiro to taste it!" ”
After Li Yi listened to Zheng Yan's words, he immediately picked up the pastry on the low table and tasted it, after eating a piece of pastry, he picked up the teacup and tasted it, and immediately praised: "Well, this pastry and tea are not ordinary, over the years, Liulang has no longer put his mind on eating and drinking, and the pastry chef of Mei Yaya has not regressed, which is really good." ”
Zheng Yan immediately smiled and said: "Well, all these years of beautiful girls have been staring at Aunt Liang, and Aunt Liang will be happy when she hears Hachiro say this." ”
Li Ying heard Zheng Yan say about Aunt Liang, and she immediately said, "By the way, what about Aunt Liang, why didn't you see her?" ”
"Oh, that's the case, during this time, Liulang led his troops to take Shuzhong, Dongchuan and Xichuan, so many states and counties, and there are many places that need Shanhe Society, so Aunt Liang went to Shuzhong on business with her husband Zhao Dongzhu, and these days are not in our Weizhou."
Hearing Zheng Yan say this, Li Ying nodded, and then she continued: "It has been many days since the princess and Liulang were married, I don't know if the princess is happy now?" ”
Li Ying's question is like a stuffy stick that makes Zheng Yan feel very upset, this eldest princess really can't open a pot. Zheng Yan has been hiding a thorn in her heart for most of the past six months, that is, she has no children.
In the past, she repeatedly complained about her father and grandfather, separated her and Li Bao for political disagreement, and delayed their marriage. Now that they are married, she faces Ling'er and Yunfang getting pregnant one after another, especially when Ling'er has two children at once, which doubles the pressure in her heart.
The relationship between her and her mother's family is getting closer and closer, because Li Bao's power is getting bigger and bigger, and she foresees that Li Bao will have more and more ambitious prospects in the future, which makes the Zheng family very concerned, and all the pressure finally converges on Zheng Yan.
The Zheng family does not have a great influence under Li Bao, so her mother has asked Zheng Yan several times in the past few months if she is pregnant? I want to know the identity of Zheng Yan's wife to ensure that the Zheng family occupies a more advantageous position in the new group in the future, whether Zheng Yan is pregnant or not, and whether she can get a man in one fell swoop is the key.
Zheng Yan, who has always been under a lot of pressure, was once again questioned by Li Ying in front of everyone, and her mood fell to the bottom. But the eldest sister couldn't help but answer when she asked, but when she said it, she felt very embarrassed, which made Zheng Yan suddenly fall into a dilemma.
Xin Niang was very happy to see that Zheng Yan had fallen into an extremely embarrassing situation under the inadvertent attack of the eldest princess. The most unaccustomed thing to her on weekdays is that Zheng Yan looks down on herself, so when she saw Zheng Yan so embarrassed, she couldn't help but chuckle.
This laughter, like a sharp thorn, made Zheng Yan even more embarrassed. She immediately raised her head and looked at Xin Niang, her eyes were full of anger, and she said, "Xin Niangzi, what are you laughing at?" Have you ever given birth to a boy and a girl for the king all these years of following the king? It's really a fox, and it's only a fox to invite pets and shameless. ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire palace hall immediately fell silent, and even everyone's breathing seemed to stop.
