Chapter 20: Lee's Thoughts

If he wanted to tell himself, he would tell her.

Li Shi will not go to ask his husband how uncomfortable he is, does it matter?

She has always behaved well, except for the period when her children were missing.

Although she has many shortcomings, such as her love of money and wants to fish out the private property of the old man through her children.

is more strict with those concubines, and has a lot of caution, but she has always grabbed her husband's heart.

Even if Tao Er favors the concubines again, they will definitely not let them climb on her head, a big reason is that the Li family has a good brain.

She knows how big the cards are in her hand, and she has to calculate what she wants to do, see the pros and cons before deciding whether to act or not.

Li once gave birth to three children: two boys and a girl, in fact, the eldest grandson is her son, but unfortunately he died before he reached adulthood, and now he has a son and a daughter by his side.

The people she values most in her heart are her daughter Baozhu and Hachiro Xiaobaozi, especially her son Hachiro, which is her future pension support, and will be the person she pays the most attention to, she is glad that she has a biological child, and there is less separation between mother and child.

After Li got married, he was very sober, and he didn't have much interest in the so-called love and love, and he was taught not to have too many expectations for marriage from the moment he signed the marriage contract.

If you don't want much, you won't be disappointed too much, and the education that Li has always received has made her understand that the marriage between the two of them stems from the marriage between the two families.

When marrying, there is no consideration at all about whether the parties to the marriage may have a relationship between a man and a woman, but a strong alliance or complementarity between the two families.

The Li family once had extremely glorious moments, and naturally knew a lot of things, so it was quite hard work when raising girls.

In addition to the things that ordinary women learn, the Li family also specializes in educating the women of the Li family to learn more things, such as history.

And Li is a good student who studies very seriously, so she learns with enthusiasm, and there is a history that she thinks a lot.

I think that a certain emperor had a very favored concubine surnamed Xiao, who was favored by the emperor so that she could compete with the queen.

Concubine Xiao Shu, who relied on herself to give birth to the emperor's children, suppressed the queen who had no children in many cases.

Queen Wang naturally didn't want to sit still, so she thought of finding a helper to help her deal with Concubine Xiao.

In the emperor's early years, a beloved had to become a nun, and the queen found her in the nunnery.

With the help of Empress Wang, Wu got the opportunity to leave the nunnery and enter the palace again.

Concubine Xiao didn't care at first, and she didn't know that she would be rejected by the emperor.

After the Wu clan entered the palace, it was to achieve the wishes of the queen at first.

Soon took away a lot of the emperor's favor.

became the most favored by the emperor in the harem and became Zhaoyi.

Until one day, she even pulled the queen and Concubine Xiao off the horse.

This time, the biggest winner of the battle in the palace was the Wu family, and even she became the queen of a country.

The previous Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao were finally killed by the Wu family, and the two of them died extremely miserably.

Li is very involved in reading this period of history, knowing that the final victor Wu belongs to an outlier.

The reason why Wu was in the nunnery was because she was one of the low-ranking concubines around the first emperor, and she entered the nunnery after the first emperor died.

If it weren't for the failure of Queen Wang, in order to rush to fight her rival Xiao Shufei, she wanted to find a helper and deliberately took back the Wu family from the nunnery.

I was afraid that the Wu family would not be able to enter the palace, and when the Li family saw this, he knew that the Wu family was the emperor's favorite at that time, so he naturally snatched the favor of Concubine Xiao Shu.

It can be seen that when looking for a pet for your husband, you must pay attention to it, and a man's favorite thing is that he must never come to his own home, which is to add to his own blockage.

One bad thing is to lure the wolf into the house, don't do stupid things like the queen, this Li is to pay attention to again and again, in order to prevent himself from being accidentally taken out of the court.

The person who caught the most attention of the Li family in this history is still the Wu family, you must know that the Wu family still has a lot of problems after becoming the emperor's concubine, she belongs to the remarriage body, and she is older than the emperor, which is said to be the weakness of the Wu family.

But Wu knew that this was her only chance, and she had to seize this opportunity, and she had left a deep impression on the emperor before, so it was possible to come out of the original nunnery and enter the palace, and when she gave birth to several children, the position of the harem was finally stable.

If you want to be able to fly, you have to grasp the most important thing, at the beginning it was the husband's favor, but the man's favor is too shallow, even if it is unforgettable love, it will be clear many times in real life.

Concubine Xiao's encounter is a very real example, Concubine Xiao had to be windy and rainy when she was favored, and she was more than willing to retreat.

But Concubine Xiao was still worn away from her former grace by the newly entered Wu clan and became a neglected concubine, and time did not pass too long.

After the Wu family was favored, they naturally wanted to get rid of two opponents: Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao, if they didn't get rid of them, in case the emperor had any mercy.

Only the dead will not repeat it again, and the Wu family thought of a way to get rid of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao in one fell swoop, and the princess born by Concubine Xiao was thrown into the Yeting Palace.

The Li family was very vigilant when they saw this, and the two princesses lived with the palace maids and the families of the prisoners, and their father didn't care at all.

This emperor is really ruthless to his children, of course, because the Wu family is a person with great ability.

It was with the help of the Wu clan that the emperor finally gradually took back power from the hands of the ministers and got rid of the clamps of the courtiers.

This is also the reason why the Wu clan punished Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao, and even if the emperor knew, he did not help.

The Wu clan can give the emperor far more things in terms of benefits than Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao.

During this honeymoon period, there was a consistent relationship of interest between the Wu clan and the emperor.

In the end, Wu swept away all obstacles to her ascension to the throne of the Empress.

Wu's ascension to the throne of the Empress is not the end of the story.

She did not live a happy life with the emperor without shame.

Although the emperor loves the Wu family very much, it does not mean that he is pure-hearted.

It is absolutely impossible that there is only one queen in the harem, and from then on there will be a couple for the rest of her life.

This kind of possibility belongs to the plot of Mary Sue at all, and it is generally impossible to achieve in real life.

Even if the emperor felt that the Wu family was his sweetheart, he did not hesitate to fight against the religion of etiquette for her, and even made her the queen of a country.

But all this did not stop him from becoming a merry man, he still hugged left and right, and the women in the harem belonged to him.

Even during Wu's pregnancy, she asked her widowed sister to enter the palace to help her, and as a result, the emperor hooked up with Empress Wu's sister.

obviously asked my sister to come in to help me prevent the emperor from stealing, but my sister took the opportunity to hook up with the emperor and was named Mrs. Guo.

What the Wu family felt after discovering it, as an outsider, it was impossible to know, but the Wu family should have felt that their status might not be guaranteed at any time, after all, there were lessons from Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao.

Wu shouldn't have known, it was precisely because she was very hot when she got rid of her opponent the former empress and Concubine Xiao, which made the emperor feel a little less liked, which was not the same as the woman he imagined.

The emperor regretted that he didn't care about the former queen and concubine who fell out of favor, the former queen and Concubine Xiao were his wives and concubines, and the Empress Wu actually made them adults.

He was amazed by this strength, and in the process he discovered that Wu was highly skilled, had a strength that ordinary women did not have, and was very politically minded.

Wu's political sense is very sensitive, and he has been helping the emperor deal with national affairs for many years, because the emperor has a head stroke and relies on Wu many times.

This allowed the Wu clan's power to extend from the harem to the former dynasty, and rely on this to stand firm, otherwise the next deposed queen could be her.

The strength of the Wu family made the emperor gradually no longer like the Wu family, but he couldn't do without the help of the Wu family, and he liked the sister of the Wu family even more.

And after the Wu family knew about the affair between his sister and the emperor, he had to pretend not to see it, otherwise what should he do?

Over time, the relationship between the sisters became very delicate.

Eventually, there was some conflict between the sisters, until Wu's sister died.

And her death made her daughter an opponent of the Wu clan.

He even did not hesitate to become the emperor's lover to take revenge on the Wu family.

But what can the Empress Wu do? can only live temporarily aggrieved.

In the end, the winner was Empress Wu, and the others who opposed her would have died long ago.

After knowing this history, the Li family was very interested in the Wu family, a very capable woman.

deliberately began to study the process of her life, and the affairs of the Wu family had a great impact on the Li family.

After researching, Li still has self-knowledge, knowing that he does not have the brains to become a part of the palace.

The people who can mix well in the palace are all human spirits, and if they are not good, they will become stepping stones under the feet of others.

She understands this very well, she has no sense of politics at all, and she just wants to doze off when she talks deeply, which is absolutely not good.

In other words, she can't do the same thing at all, and she often finds out after a long time of other people's calculations, and it's already too late.

This made her know in her heart that she was too far behind those smart people, and it was very likely that she would become a gun in the hands of others, and she didn't have the interest to become a second martial artist.

You must know that this smart man who changed from queen to empress had to abdicate to his son in old age, and it was also dishonorable when he finally abdicated, and he had to abdicate after being forced into the palace.

Li knew that she didn't have the ability to do the same thing, but some of the empress's operations were still very useful to her, such as how to capture her husband's heart, which was very important.

She knows very well in her heart that in order to live a better life, she must formulate her own measures, and in the rest of her life, she has been paying attention to how to live well.

The Li family belongs to the high marriage, her maiden family, the Li family, used to be a family but declined, after all these years of ups and downs, the royal family has always suppressed this family.

This suppression has caused many high-ranking families to fall, and the Li family is not the first, nor the last, there will be one to come.

But this affected the value of the Li women, and many of them later married into the poor, which is simply not as good as the generation.

The Li family is a relatively lucky part of the people who can marry into the Tao family, and after getting married, there are problems in life.

For example, when it comes to the issue of dowry, the mother-in-law is a little resentful, feeling that her daughter-in-law is a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken.

After the Li family declined, there was not much dowry that could be given, and the mother-in-law inevitably put on a face to her daughter-in-law.

And what can a daughter-in-law do? can only endure it, and at the same time hold her husband's heart tightly.

When something happens to the Tao family, it will be a good thing for the Li family.

Of course, she will not go back to her hometown with her in-laws.

It's simply throwing away one's own advantages.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally opposites to each other.

How could she obediently go back with her mother-in-law? Don't dream.

If she left her husband and concubine together, wouldn't it be cheaper for others.

I'm afraid that the man who likes the new and hates the old will soon forget her existence, so he can't.

She thought about it and talked to her husband about the children, if they also followed the adults back to the clan land.

They will soon become dirt buns, and all aspects of the capital, especially education, are top-notch.

In other words, it is to tell the husband that if the children return to their hometown, it will be tantamount to ruining everything for them.

Tao Erlang agrees very much, since the children are stayed, then the Li family, as the main mother, is naturally left to take care of the children.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked once, they stayed away from the mother-in-law who had been picking on the thorns, and Li's house fighting skills were rapidly improving in the process of this time.

It can be said that she is also skilled in dealing with Tao Erlang, but the disappearance of her children has hit her hard, and when she knows that her children are alive and well, the whole person has become very shrewd, she has always liked to package all her thoughts, stand on the moral high ground and point out, and rarely tear her face to her husband.

That is, when the children disappeared, they were in a hurry, and now they are back to normal, and they will face their husbands with the calmest posture and never ask questions.

On the way, Li finally knew the contradictions in her husband's heart, she didn't know anything about politics, but she was still relatively clear about patriarchy.

Naturally, they understand that the three people in the big room have become oil bottles, and the adults in their first room should take on the relevant responsibilities.

Regarding her husband's worries, the Li family is more concerned about how much property the family left behind.

Although the Tao family suffered a flood this time, it may cause many things in the Tao family to be gone.

But the sister-in-law of the big house has a lot of dowries in the capital, with good land and shops.

If she manages it properly, she should be able to make a lot of money out of it.

The future marriage of the children of the big house is a good opportunity to build a network.

If you make such a calculation, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

After thinking about it in his heart, Li Shi spoke in harmony.

She would never say that her husband's brain was in water, just thinking about trouble.

How can they just think about how much their second room will cost to their nephews and nieces in the big house.

In fact, it's good to let the children squeeze in, and she can take the opportunity to lower the treatment of the concubines.

You can't always treat your husband and your concubine the same, which means that outsiders can't pick out the thorns, and they can also hit it.

As for the eldest lady, she must also be the foil of her daughter, and the loss of her father and mother and eldest daughter can knock her down.
