After the Li family was gone, Li Ge Lao relied more and more on Ji Yushen and trusted him as if he were half a son, especially when Li Ziyue was pregnant.

"How is Azusa's health?"

"The doctor said that she was only two months pregnant, and it was the time when she needed to recuperate, so she was asked to go out and move around less. She was very worried about her father-in-law's health and often asked me. ”

Elder Li Ge sighed, "The old man is old, and he has long passed the lifespan of ordinary people, what can his body do?" What worries the old man is the DPRK. Yushen, do you think the emperor doesn't trust the old man anymore? ”

The corners of Ji Yushen's mouth were almost inaudible, overflowing with a hint of laughter.

Li Ge didn't ask this question until this time, maybe it was too late, right?

He said lightly: "When I was young, I read and saw that the emperors throughout the ages were all birds with good bows and cunning rabbits and dead lackeys. Father-in-law helped the emperor when he ascended the throne in the stormy time, and the emperor naturally relied on you, and even sent you to the position of first assistant. But now that the emperor has been on the throne for ten years, he is no longer a stunned boy, how can he be willing to lose power? ”

When Elder Li Ge heard the four words of power, he immediately became sensitive. Feeling, "How did the old man ......"

"I don't care if my father-in-law really lets the emperor's power go by, I just care if the emperor thinks so."

Ji Yushen interrupted quietly, Li Ge Lao lowered his head, and his old withered hands curled up on the table, secretly making a decision.

After a while, he sighed, "The old man has been an old man since the first emperor's dynasty, and when the first emperor died, all the princes took the heir. If it weren't for the old man helping the emperor, how could the emperor be able to ascend to the throne so easily? But the old man was misunderstood by the emperor, thinking that the old man intended to empty the monarchy and draw money from the court...... The old man's heart is clear to the sun and the moon, and there is no intention of being unfavorable to the king or to the people! ”

Ji Yushen didn't speak.

These high-sounding words, Li Ge Lao said in front of him, I don't know if he wants to deceive him or deceive himself.

Self-deception, this is the most useless thing.

After a while, Li Ge Lao sighed with emotion before he said: "But the emperor's favor for you seems to be deepening day by day. ”

Ji Yushen's heart moved, and he smiled slightly: "So father-in-law doesn't have to worry, since the emperor is still willing to rely on your son-in-law, he won't do anything to you." After all, the emperor is a young man, and it is reasonable to trust young courtiers more sympatheticly. As long as he does not convert to the likes of the sons of the Marquis of Weiyuan, it will not affect his father-in-law's status. ”

Elder Li Ge smiled when he heard him suddenly mention the prince of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, "How is it possible?" That straw bale is the same as his sister Jiang Guiren, what kind of climate can it become? ”

Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to rely on the children of a family of relatives at will, so in contrast, Ji Yu has won the trust of the emperor, and Li Ge Lao is quite comforted in his heart.

He suddenly remembered something, "By the way, you find a chance to see the second prince again, and persuade him to study hard and not make the emperor angry." I don't know what happened to the second prince recently, he made repeated mistakes that made the emperor unhappy, and completely made the eldest prince compare. ”

Ji Yu thought deeply and said, "Ziyue is now pregnant and inconvenient to enter the palace, although Li Changzai is in the palace, he can't see the second prince, so I have to find a way to meet him." ”

He thought to himself, it just so happened that Li Ziyue asked him something, he had never entered the palace to do it, and he should explain it to Su Youyi......

Concubine Yan left Yongshou Palace before lunch and went back to Zhongcui Palace to see Li Changzai.

As soon as she left, she heard Shuya quietly come in and reply, "Niangniang, the little palace maid in the imperial garden is here, saying that Lord Ji invited you to go to the school of the four princes in the east the day after tomorrow." ”

Su Youyi couldn't help but be surprised, "Go see him or do something?" ”

Shuya said: "Listening to the tone of that little palace maid, it is Lord Ji who wants to see you there." ”

Su Youyi nodded when she heard this, "He has a wide range of influence, and it is only his people among the minions in the Imperial Garden, even in the palace." ”

There is irony in this statement.

Shuya always felt that Ji Yushen was a good person and was helping Su Youyi, so she said, "This is a good thing." With such a person as Lord Ji helping Niangniang in the previous dynasty, Niangniang can be more stable in the harem. ”

"When did he help me in the front court, don't talk nonsense."

Su Youyi understated the past.

Let's say that Concubine Yan returned to Zhongcui Palace and saw Li Changzai, Li Changzai sat in the hall drinking tea, and when she came in, she hurriedly got up and saluted, "The concubine has seen Concubine Yan." ”

"Yo, Li Changzai is here, how long has it been?"

Concubine Yan smiled, ordered someone to sit on the top with her coat widened, and Li Changzai said respectfully: "Not long after, the concubine came to visit Niangniang today, because she wanted to make amends to Niangniang." ”

After saying that, he bowed down, "Please also ask the mother to forgive the concubine for her reckless sin yesterday." ”

Concubine Yan still smiled, "What do you say?" Don't pick it up yet, let Li Chang sit. ”

When the palace maid heard this, she hurriedly supported Li Changzai, and Yan Concubine glanced at the tea cup on her table, knowing that it had been filled with tea several times.

Then he said: "Li Chang has been waiting for the palace here for so long, so I don't know how to talk to Jiang Guiren?" There are still Jiang Guiren and Liu Chang in the Zhong Cui Palace of this palace, you should know, right? ”

There are Jiang Guiren and Liu Chang are there, but she only lets herself talk to Jiang Guiren, and does not mention Liu Chang is here, which shows that she is still satirizing the fact that she and Jiang Guiren talked alone yesterday.

Li Changzai's face stiffened, but he still said respectfully: "The concubine did something wrong to make the mother unhappy, she should wait here for as long as she wants, and she didn't dare to go and play without permission." This is the concubine's sincerity, and I ask the mother to forgive me. ”

The corners of Concubine Yan's mouth curled slightly, and she finally glanced at Li Changzai scrutinically.

In all fairness, no matter what the purpose of Li Changzai's plea is, at least there is nothing wrong with what she did today, so that no one can find fault with it.

If she doesn't forgive Li Changzai again, others will only think that Li Changzai is pitiful, and she Yan Concubine is stingy and mean.

Concubine Yan smiled and turned to the palace maid, "It's rare that Li Changzai came to the palace to invite Jiang Guizai and Liu Changzai here, and everyone sisters talked." Then go and bring the best tea and snacks, and don't forget Yanagi's favorite Taishi cake. ”

This can be regarded as accepting Lee's apology.

She let out a long breath, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

Two days later, Su Youyi ordered Shuya to bring snacks and go to the school to give to the eldest prince and others.

The eldest prince seemed to have reached the age of drawing, and after not seeing him for a few days, Su Youyi found that he had grown a lot taller.

The second prince was the same age as him, and he looked much shorter and less energetic when he stood beside him. asked Xue Daoming, and he shook his head at the second prince.

"In the past, he was the most diligent and studious of the three princes, but now I don't know how to become like this!"

Xue Daoming sighed again and again, and didn't choose his words for a while, thinking that he was already on Su Youyi's side, and he shouldn't behave like this to the fall of the second prince.
