Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Li Chengxiang has been pacing in the hall. The prime minister's wife wanted to interject a few words, but she didn't know what to say.

Her status in the family has always been very low, and this husband has never discussed anything with her.

She frowned and said cautiously, "Master, it's time to eat." ”

"I really don't know what you're thinking about every day, our daughter doesn't know what kind of life she lives in the harem, but you only know how to eat, it's really incomprehensible that you are a mother."

Prime Minister Li kept counting his dissatisfaction, and the voice spread to the courtyard, and even the people were listening.

But everyone is used to it, Mrs. has always had a very low status in the house, and she looks like she is beaten like this on weekdays, and she never knows how to refute it.

He doesn't seem to love this wife at all, and whenever he is in a bad mood, he will definitely count her down fiercely.

Although Mrs. Li was very sad in her heart, she still held back her tears and said a little choked.

"But if the master's body is not protected, how can we help our daughter establish authority in the harem in the future? If Ruoxi comes back and sees your haggard appearance, she will definitely feel distressed. ”

She looks humble on weekdays. It's really distressing.

Prime Minister Li glared at her fiercely, and thought that what she said was indeed reasonable, so he walked impatiently into the dining room.

Although Mrs. Li knew that her current status was indeed noble, at least in front of the ladies of those official mansions, she always felt sad when she was at home.

This husband has no love for her, or the love in his early years has long been wiped out by life.

Sometimes she is not as good as the daughter in the palace, so that her father loves her.

As soon as Mrs. Li sat down, she heard Prime Minister Li complain and say, "There is no chatter in this bowl, are you just watching it?" ”

Mrs. Li quickly stood up, filled a spoonful of soup and placed it in front of him.

Li Ruoxi walked around the dining room with the child in her arms, and said with some dissatisfaction when she saw her father's attitude.

"Dad, you should eat calmly when you eat

Things, such a big fire, will not be good for your body in the future. ”

She said these words for the sake of her mother's consideration. She teased the child in her arms and nodded and smiled at her mother.

Mrs. Li is still glad that her daughter is very filial, she has known that she feels sorry for her since she was a child, and if she quarrels with her father on weekdays, she will always be towards her.

"Ruoxi, you can also sit down and eat together."

"Hmm. Mother, this big Prime Minister's Mansion is thanks to you on weekdays. ”

Li Ruoxi carefully hugged the child in her arms to the green pothos standing next to her, and comforted her mother a few words.

She can't quarrel with her father, but she still feels sorry for her mother's recent situation. Seeing that his parents were not harmonious, he thought of himself and Yan Miaoyu, and always felt a burst of sadness.

"Well, my mother won't bother you father and daughter talking here. I went to the inner room first and took the kids to play. ”

Mrs. Li felt much better every time she saw her grandson, and the pothos turned around and returned to the room with Mrs. Li.

Li Ruoxi sat down and persuaded the prime minister bitterly: "Dad, don't always show your face to your mother on weekdays, your mother has worked so hard for this family for so many years, you must not let your mother feel cold!" ”

Li Ruoxi still couldn't help but mutter, Prime Minister Li nodded and continued: "Okay, why are you still so nagging like before, after all, you are also a concubine, you must know that you should be cautious when you speak." ”

Every time the prime minister sees his daughter, he always looks smiling, no matter what his daughter says, he always listens with a smile.

Li Ruoxi scooped the soup in front of her with a spoon, but she didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to drink it.

The prime minister immediately felt his daughter's preoccupation, and asked worriedly, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Prime Minister Li Cheng is actually very troubled today. After all, the war between Jialing and Beihai some time ago ended in failure, which made the head of the family very angry, and always felt that the cooperation between him and Prime Minister Li Cheng was meaningless.

At first, when I saw my daughter come back to her parents' house for dinner, I thought it was just a simple return

Take a look, it looks like there is probably something asking him now.

"Dad, my daughter has been thinking about whether she has a chance to sit in the queen's position recently. Nan Angui is now back in the harem and has been favored by the emperor more, I think if it weren't for the little prince, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to even see the emperor. ”

Li Ruoxi said as she spoke, in addition to resentment and sadness in her eyes, every time she mentioned Nan Anzhuo, she hated her very much.

The situation she is in now is all caused by her, but even if she hates it, what's the use, there is no way to change the current situation.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a high-ranking concubine with an endless luxurious life, but only she knows that she can't even compare with ordinary women.

Being in the harem is no different from being a living widow.

But now that this is the case, is there anything she can do but try to compete?

Prime Minister Li frowned deeply, sighed and said sadly. "The people on the other side of the Jialing Kingdom have begun to be dissatisfied with your father, and it seems that they are going to abandon us during this time."

The two men looked at each other, not interested in the food on the table.

Prime Minister Li suddenly didn't know what he thought, raised his head and asked.

"Is there always a few personal guards around the queen's mother, and the relationship is very good."

"Yes, and those people are very strong in martial arts."

Li Ruoxi didn't know why her father suddenly asked this question, but after thinking about it carefully, she immediately understood what her father meant.

"Do you think..."

"Now you can only take one risky move, for the sake of your own dreams, you have to be ruthless, anyone who stands in the way of your dreams will be damned."

A kind of ruthlessness and viciousness appeared on Prime Minister Li's face, he couldn't lose the support of Jialing State at all now, after all, if the two sides lost cooperation, he was likely to be exposed to treason.

At that time, not only his life, but also treason, and the nine clans, I am afraid that all the descendants of the Li family will be buried in his hands.

Therefore, he can't lose this battle, he can only win.
