Chapter 32: The Queen Mother summons Mrs. Li

Li didn't hesitate to wake up, and Chun Tao was already waiting on the side, waiting for her to freshen up. She was surprised to find that Chun Tao had no impression of the attack last night. Li didn't regret that Chun Tao didn't remember it, after all, it wasn't a good experience.

Due to a foot injury, Li did not hesitate to use his breakfast in his room today.

"Miss, where are we going now?" After putting away the leftovers of breakfast, Chun Tao asked with interest, holding two sets of men's clothes in her hands.

"Where's the prince?" Li did not hesitate to answer the question.

"I heard from the people in the house that the prince left the house early in the morning." Chun Tao didn't understand what this had to do with the prince.

Li didn't hesitate to look at the men's clothes in Chun Tao's hand and said, "We won't go anywhere today." ”

"Oh!" Chun Tao was slightly disappointed.

Looking at Chun Tao, who was about to leave, Li did not hesitate to say again: "Go to the prince's study and get those law books." ”

"Miss, Chun Tao doesn't know much about words, I don't know which ones you want." Chun Tao was slightly embarrassed, "Moreover, on the first day I entered the mansion, Fu Bo warned me not to enter and leave the prince's study at will. ”

"Forget it, I'll go myself." Li didn't hesitate to get up, and she walked towards the study with the support of Chun Tao.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the palace, in the imperial garden, Liu Gongcheng accompanied the queen mother to enjoy the flowers.

The Queen Mother looked at the purple and red in the garden, but saw that there was a branch with buds waiting to be released, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Spring is full of tender green, the summer solstice is drunk and smells the fragrance of flowers, the autumn rain falls all over the ground, and the winter snow is full of new buds." ”

"Liu De, what do you think of the blooming flowers in this imperial garden?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, she is very beautiful, but it is less than one-ten-thousandth of the Queen Mother." Liu De flattered.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "It should be the little masters of the emperor's harem who are in full bloom, and the mourning family is already in the twilight." ”

Liu De didn't dare to reply easily, he was digesting the meaning of the Queen Mother's words in his heart.

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to hold up the flower bones on the branch, "It's a pity that ······" The Queen Mother's words changed, "Liu De, how long has the emperor been on the throne?" ”

Liu Deha bent his waist and replied: "It's been more than three years since I returned to the Queen Mother." ”

"Hmm." The Queen Mother said again: "How many harem concubines are there?" ”

Liu De counted it to the Queen Mother, "Concubine Rong, Xiu Changzai and Shu agreed, a total of three people." ”

"The harem is so thin, no wonder no prince has been born so far." The Queen Mother sighed and said: "What kind of face do you have to go to see the ancestors and ancestors underground after a hundred years?" ”

This time, Liu De understood the Queen Mother's voice, "The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry, the emperor is just dedicated to politics." After a few days, the servants will pick out some women with outstanding appearance, talent, and family background for you to fill the harem for the emperor. ”

"Alas, the mourning family also wants to!" The Queen Mother was worried, "It's easy to enrich the harem, but there are many women in this harem, so naturally someone needs to preside over the overall situation." The mourning family is now more than enough but not enough! ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out that the Queen Mother wanted to find a queen for the emperor! Liu Deru woke up from a dream, "It's not difficult, if these masters of the harem, the queen mother are not satisfied, just take this opportunity to fill the harem to choose from them." ”

"That's a good idea."

"Then the minion will go and take care of it."

"There's no hurry." The Queen Mother called Liu De, "The draft will be exempted." The mourning family already has a suitable candidate in their hearts, and they are recruited. However, the mourning family had to discuss this matter with the emperor first. ”

At this time, a little eunuch came to report that the Marquis of Zhongyi had sent someone to tell him something important.

The Queen Mother looked disgusted when she heard this, and said, "You're here to ask for silver again?!" ”

Liu De looked at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and said to the Queen Mother: "It's better to let this slave finish his words and see what kind of medicine this Mrs. Li sells in the gourd." ”

The Queen Mother thought about it, nodded, sat down in the gazebo, and picked up the tea cup on the table.

"What did the man say?" Liu De asked for the Queen Mother.

"Back to Father-in-law Liu, the woman said, 'Miss Hou's illness is cured'."

"Bang!"

As soon as the little eunuch's voice fell, the tea cup in the queen mother's hand also fell to the ground, so frightened that the little eunuch's legs were weak and he knelt on the ground and kept shaking.

The Queen Mother was so shocked! For so many years, she asked the imperial doctors to give Li Wei a look at the disease, and the imperial doctors all shook their heads after reading it, saying that there was no hope of cure. Why is it so inexplicable today?

"Did the man say how he was cured?" The Queen Mother trembled and stood up from her chair.

The woman didn't say.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the little eunuch couldn't wait to retreat.

"Liu De, do you think that girl still remembers what happened back then?" The Queen Mother asked Liu De with a weak heart.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's hard to say. The woman sent by Mrs. Li didn't explain what was going on, and besides, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion had already married to the Yan Wangfu, so how could Mrs. Li know if the illness of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion had improved. ”

After listening to Liu De's words, the Queen Mother comforted her a little, "Well, you're right." The matter has not yet been understood, and the mourning family must not mess with themselves. ”

"It's better to find a doctor first and go to King Yan's Mansion to take a look." Liu De suggested.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, waved her hand, and said, "It's not appropriate." ”

Now that her niece is Zhao Qingcheng's princess, at this time, if she really declares a doctor to treat Li Weihe, I am afraid that it will arouse Zhao Qingcheng's suspicion. If Zhao Qingcheng has more conjectures or associations because of this, and goes to check them one by one, it is not good for her. She would never do such a stupid thing!

"Go, Mrs. Xuanli enters the palace." This Mrs. Li sent someone to pass the word, and she had the intention to tell the reason. Now, the easiest and most trouble-free way is to directly call Mrs. Li to come and interrogate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Mrs. Li received a summons in the house, she knew that the bait she had placed had bitten the big fish of the Queen Mother. She was secretly proud in her heart, she knew that this matter must not be simple! Otherwise, she would have handed the news to the palace, and the Queen Mother would have decreed that she would enter the palace. There must be something inside to this, and she has to deal with it carefully.

"Mother, I also want to enter the palace with you." Li Weilian has never been to the palace, and when she was a child, she was always allowed to enter the palace, and she was very jealous.

Mrs. Li frowned and said, "What are you going to do!" The Queen Mother Xuanniang entered the palace to discuss important matters. "The reason why Mrs. Li doesn't take pity on Li Weipian is that she doesn't understand the rules, and if she accidentally loses her life, she will be this one daughter!" You stay at home, and your mother will be back soon. As he spoke, he walked to the sedan chair parked outside the house, and before leaving, he did not forget to instruct: "If the old lady asks, he will say that I was invited by Mrs. Yushi to drink tea and enjoy the flowers." ”

As everyone knows, as soon as Mrs. Li stepped out of the Hou Mansion on the front foot, the old lady on the back foot already knew that she had entered the palace to see the Queen Mother. Since Li Wei returned to the door last time, the old lady had already sent someone to secretly monitor Mrs. Li's every move, and the slightest wind and grass could not escape the eyes of the old lady.

As for entering the palace, Mrs. Li is also "the first time that the eldest girl has been in a sedan chair". With trepidation, she rode in a sedan chair towards the palace.

In the Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting in a precarious position, and she glanced at Mrs. Li with her spare eyes. To be honest, this is also the first time that the Queen Mother has seen her brother's stepfamily. As for why she was disgusted with this Mrs. Li who she had never met before, it was really because of Mrs. Li's own reasons.

When the Hou Ye had an accident, Mrs. Li changed her way to ask the queen mother in the palace for money. Although Mrs. Li's purpose was never achieved, Mrs. Li still sent people or talked to her every now and then, or asked for a summons, which made the Queen Mother very annoyed with her, and naturally her impression was not much better.

Like the Queen Mother, Mrs. Li also saw the Queen Mother's true face for the first time. Although she didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother, she also caught a glimpse of the Queen Mother's appearance. In other words, according to her age, the Queen Mother should be a few years older than her. But this looks like she is obviously much younger than her in terms of skin, makeup and clothing. Mrs. Li couldn't help but be a little jealous of the Queen Mother!

What a woman! If she marries a master, it is really extraordinary, and she suddenly doesn't want to marry Li Weilian to Ye Xizhi. She thought that if she could marry Li Weilian into the palace and marry the emperor's first-class match, even Li Weixi, the princess, would have to look at their faces. The more Mrs. Li thought about this sudden thought of herself, the happier she became.

"Why don't you kneel when you see the Queen Mother?" Liu De had a cold face.

Mrs. Li reacted at this time, she "pounced" and knelt down. "The concubine knocks on the Queen Mother for a thousand years, a thousand years old."

"Get up and speak."

"Empress Dowager Xie." Mrs. Li stood quietly in the hall, waiting for the Queen Mother's next question.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to be in the mood to beat around the bush with Mrs. Li, and said straight to the point: "The mourning family asked you, is the news you sent is true?" ”

Mrs. Li didn't expect that the Queen Mother didn't even bother to say the least polite words to her, and went straight to the point. She was stunned for a moment before she said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this matter is true!" ”

"Oh," the Queen Mother raised her eyes, and her sharp eyes shot at Mrs. Li, "That person has now married into the Yan Palace, how did you learn about this?" Could it be that you have installed eyeliner in the palace?! ”

"Queen Mother Mingjian!" Mrs. Li almost knelt down again, "How dare the concubine dare to install eyeliner in King Yan's mansion!" She avoided the Queen Mother's gaze, "It's just that the princess returned to the door that day, and the concubine saw the clues." ”

Mrs. Li informed the Queen Mother of all the things that Li did not hesitate to return to, but she concealed the episode of her own deduction of Li Wei's dowry and Li Wei's pity. After all, this kind of self-disclosure and damage to her face made Mrs. Li how to speak.

After listening to Mrs. Li's narration, the Queen Mother chuckled in her heart. According to Mrs. Li, Li is not only cured of dementia, but also no different from women of the same age.

You must know that even the best imperial doctor in this imperial city is helpless, how can he be cured in an instant now. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if someone finds a home remedy to cure him, the mind of Li Weiwei should stay in the past. It is impossible to fill the gap of several years.

After thinking about it, the Queen Mother felt that the only possibility and the only explanation was that Li Weixi had always pretended! When she thought of this, she was even more frightened. What makes the Queen Mother feel even more tricky is that since she was pretending to be from the beginning, will she join forces with Zhao Qingcheng to deal with her after marrying into King Yan's mansion now. In this way, it seems that she will not hesitate to point it out to Zhao Qingcheng, which is really a big failure! The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more she felt afraid, and her mood became heavier and heavier.

Mrs. Li finished the matter in one breath, but seeing that the Queen Mother was speechless for a long time, she beat a drum in her heart. Mrs. Li couldn't help but secretly raise her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, only to see that the queen mother sitting on it was pale, and her hand holding the armrest of the chair was a little trembling.

"What else did she say that day?" The Queen Mother forced her mind and asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, in fact, the princess didn't say anything that day, but ······" Mrs. Li thought for a while and said, "I heard that the princess stayed in the old lady's house for a long time. ”

"Old lady!" The Queen Mother said in her heart, could it be that even her mother was involved? "What did the princess and the old lady say?" She asked, pretending to be calm.

"Then the concubine doesn't know." Secretly observing the queen mother's reaction, "The door was closed when the princess was talking to the old lady, and the princess's personal maid was guarding the door. ”

"Well, the mourning family knows." The amount of information I got from Mrs. Li today is too much, and the Queen Mother has to calm down and take care of it. She pretended to be uncomfortable and covered her forehead and said, "The mourning family is tired." ”

Obviously, the Queen Mother is going to expel the guests. Liu De has followed the Queen Mother for many years, and he has been serving the Queen Mother since she first entered the palace, so he naturally understands it.

"The old slave will help you in to rest." Liu De helped the Queen Mother get up.

But Mrs. Li was not stupid, she took the lead and knelt in front of the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, the concubine does not dare to obstruct the Queen Mother's rest." How could Mrs. Li return empty-handed, "I really have something to ask for." ”

The Queen Mother looked condescendingly at Mrs. Li who was kneeling on the ground, "I know that she is not so kind." The Queen Mother said in her heart.

"Say it! What is the matter of mourning the family? ”

"Queen Mother, Xi'er has married into the palace, and Li'er is now in her prime. I begged the Queen Mother to give her a good family, so that the concubine would have a good relationship in the future. "I was fortunate to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother today, and Mrs. Li really didn't want to give up this opportunity.

The Queen Mother was not surprised that Mrs. Li would have this idea, after all, Li did not hesitate to suppress her daughter from childhood to adulthood, and now she is married into the Yan Wangfu. If Mrs. Li didn't have hot eyes, it would be impossible.

"Don't worry, both the mourning family and the mourning family are the bloodline of the eldest brother of the mourning family, how can the mourning family favor one over the other." Whether she wants to help with this depends on Mrs. Li's performance in the future.

The Queen Mother casually dismissed: "However, this matter cannot be done overnight. Go back, and let the mourning family look for a good look. After speaking, the Queen Mother walked towards the inner room with Liu De's support.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Congratulations to the Queen Mother. ”

What does the Queen Mother mean, Mrs. Li naturally understands, and on the way out of the palace, Mrs. Li is calculating how to get the news of Li Weixi as soon as possible.
