The smile on Zhang Xi's face disappeared before he could raise it.

If Zhang Gui was willing to give up this opportunity to suppress and infiltrate the Northwest Army, there would not have been this disaster now.

Zhang Gui, as a subordinate, refused to back down, and Qi Yu, as the emperor, naturally refused to back down more and more.

Huang Yi'an looked at Zhang Xi's lost and sad appearance, couldn't bear it, thought about it, and said, "Sister Zhang may be able to ask Li Zisong." ”

Compared with Li Zongbing's slipperyness, Li Zisong, as the next heir of the Li family, is much more straightforward and straightforward, so in his previous life, he became the most valued and favored general by Qi Yu, and there is no one.

"Big brother?" Zhang Xi was stunned, and just wanted to ask, but even Qi Yu's ceremonial driver came to Kunning Palace from afar, so he had to say goodbye in a hurry.

The mother and daughter had just left Kunning Palace not far away, and they ran into Qi Yu's ceremonial driver.

Because the time was too late, and the British duchess and Zhang Xi were female dependents, it was inconvenient, so after visiting the courtesy, Qi Yu let them leave.

When he returned to Kunning Palace, Qi Yu asked Huang Yi'an: "What are the British duchess mother and daughter looking for you for?" ”

Huang Yi'an served Qi Yu to change clothes. sighed: "What else can I do, for the sake of General Wude's book!" ”

Qi Yu frowned, and said unhappily: "Zhang Lan, this kid doesn't eat hard and soft, and insists on going his own way, if they don't persuade Zhang Lan, they will bother you!" ”

Huang Yi'an smiled and persuaded: "Motherly feelings! Just like the queen mother loves her majesty. ”

For this matter, Empress Dowager Li has less contact with Zhang Gui, obviously to cold Zhang Gui and make him obey Qi Yu as soon as possible.

Qi Yu's expression warmed when he heard this, and he sighed with a smile: "The queen mother has been working hard for this matter recently. Wait for Ming'er to greet the queen mother, send some medicinal materials to calm the nerves and replenish qi, and replenish the body of the queen mother. ”

Huang Yi'an smiled and said, "Yes." The concubine then instructed Amei to do it. ”

There is a saying that "Sai Weng loses his horse and knows whether it is a blessing", after this incident, the relationship between Qi Yu and Empress Dowager Li has eased a lot.

……

Let's say that the British Duchess and Zhang Xi went out of the palace gate and went home separately.

After the British duchess arrived home, she immediately told the British duchess about the two roads pointed out by Huang Yi'an.

After hearing this, the British public sighed and said, "The two roads pointed out by the queen mother are not easy to walk......

The son is stubborn, and the in-laws are slippery, which is difficult to do!

……

When Zhang Xi returned home, everyone had already rested, but the lights were still on in her yard, and Li Zizhen was pacing back and forth in the yard waiting for her, glancing out of the courtyard from time to time.

Seeing Zhang Xi coming back, Li Zizhen hurriedly greeted her, took her hand, and smiled warmly: "Why did you come back so late?" Nothing, right? ”

As they spoke, the two entered the courtyard.

Zhang Xi paused slightly, and glanced back at the gloomy Li Mansion.

Li Zizhen saw it, and hurriedly smiled: "Mother and sister-in-law have sent people to ask before, and seeing that you haven't come back yet, my mother also specially instructed you not to go to ask for peace after you come back, and rest early." Of course, if there is something urgent, you can send someone to report to her immediately. ”

Zhang Xi retracted his gaze, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Thank you mother for your love." ”

Does she have anything urgent that her mother-in-law would not know? But he still went to bed early, leaving only a polite word. Hmm, maybe even this polite sentence was made up by Li Zizhen to comfort her......

Zhang Xi knew very well in her heart that the Li family had no responsibility to help the Zhang family, but when she thought of the Li family, as an in-law, hiding far away when the Zhang family was in danger, she couldn't help but feel sad, and maybe a trace of resentment.

She and Li Zizhen got married, and the two families had the idea of joining forces and helping each other, but they didn't expect the Li family to be so ruthless and completely disregard the righteousness of their in-laws.

Seeing this, Li Zizhen didn't say anything, just pretended not to see anything, and laughed as usual.

He knew Zhang Xi's worries and dissatisfaction, but he was helpless. Although he is his father's son-in-law, he is only ranked third, and his reputation has always been insignificant, even if he is now promoted by the emperor to serve by his side, the Li family, who was born in the army, is still not able to speak.

In fact, it is not only him, but also other brothers. Now the Li family is still the head of the father's generation, and the eldest brother in the younger generation is the son of the sect, and there is still some weight in speaking.

The husband and wife didn't say anything all night.

The next day, the husband and wife went to the room as usual to say goodbye.

Please Anbi, Mrs. Li asked with a smile: "Yesterday, the queen mother left you and your mother-in-law, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Xi pursed his lips, then shook his head and smiled back, "It's okay." Thank you mother for your concern. ”

It's useless to say it anyway, so why bother with it?

Mrs. Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she doesn't ask, she also knows what it is for - at the moment, except for Zhang Lan's insistence on interceding for the captured rebel generals, and provoking Zhang Gui to strictly investigate and not slack off, what else can it be for?

But don't ask, it seems that she is indifferent as a mother-in-law; asked, I'm really worried that Zhang Xi will say something to embarrass her.

Fortunately, Zhang Xi was knowledgeable and did not sue the Li family to help.

Mrs. Li was worried that if she kept Zhang Xi any longer, she would provoke something that should not be said, so she simply sent everyone out on the grounds of fatigue - if Zhang Xi was only one person, wouldn't there be no three hundred taels of silver here?

But Zhang Xi is not a fool, on the contrary, she has been taught by the British Duchess since she was a child, and she is very refined in the world, as soon as Mrs. Li said this, she got up and said goodbye, and her already cold heart became more and more cold.

Mrs. Li is afraid of getting a little bad luck from the British government!

When they got out of the upper room, the men were ready to go to court, and the women laughed together.

Zhang Xi remembered Huang Yi'an's mention on the occasion of parting yesterday, and on the occasion of separation, he smiled at his eldest sister-in-law Lin: "Sister-in-law, last time my husband saw a robe of my eldest brother, I went back and said that I liked it very much. I heard that my sister-in-law did it herself, so I want to learn from you and ask my sister-in-law to give me advice. ”

The Lin family is the future patriarch of the Li family selected by her in-laws, and she is a beautiful lady from a famous family, quiet and calm, not to mention female celebrities. Since getting married, she has covered all Li Zisong's clothes, hats, shoes and socks.

Therefore, Zhang Xi used this as an excuse and was not afraid of being exposed.

As for Li Zizhen, as long as someone asks, she will definitely help her lie.

Lin really didn't suspect it, and responded with a smile: "Okay! If the third brother knew that you, a daughter of a general, worked hard for him to practice female red and weave new clothes, he would definitely be very happy. ”

Zhang Xicheng's wedding dress was given by the palace and sewn by Wen Niangzi herself, and the scenery was beautiful, but the people in the Li Mansion also knew that the third young lady was not a good woman.

That's why Lin said this.

So the two of them held hands and went to Tingtao Courtyard with a smile all the way.

For several days, Zhang Xi spent time in Tingtao Courtyard on the pretext of learning to make clothes, waiting for an opportunity to ask Li Zisong for help.
