Chapter 33: The Queen Mother's Thoughts, Determination

The Queen Mother's mood was not calmed by Mrs. Li's departure, but became more and more irritable.

"What about those whom you have planted in the king's house? Why hasn't such a big incident been reported? The Queen Mother asked.

How could Liu De not hear the anger in the Queen Mother's words, and he quickly knelt down.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the day before yesterday I was drunk and fell into the river and drowned."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Drowned?!" Are you sure it was he who fell into the river? Could it be that Zhao Qingcheng discovered the identity of this person and killed him, she doubted.

Liu De naturally understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, "The old slave has personally investigated and confirmed that it was he who accidentally drowned after being drunk, and it was not the hand of the prince." ”

"Get up!" The Queen Mother's anger has eased somewhat, "Hurry up and arrange for a newcomer to fill it." ”

"The old slave is already doing it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to send it to King Yan's Mansion for a while." This matter also gave Liu De a headache.

"You stepped up, no matter how difficult it is, you can send people in to the mourning family." Without leaving a pair of eyes in Yan Wangfu, she really can't feel at ease.

"Yes, the old slave must hurry up." Although he said that he should be the queen mother, Liu De did not have any bottom in his heart. After all, the current Yan Wangfu is not what it used to be, and it is really difficult to install a cronie like this.

The worries were really one after another, and the queen was pacing back and forth, her heart was numb.

"Say, what's going on with all this?"

"Queen Mother, if you are really not at ease, the old slave will go and summon Princess Nayan into the palace to ask you questions."

"No! This is counterproductive. "The Queen Mother doesn't have any scruples about Li Weixi, what she is afraid of is Zhao Qingcheng.

"Then why don't you go and invite the old lady into the palace? The Hou Mansion has not relied on you all these years, and it will also depend on you in the future. Besides, the old lady is your own mother after all, if you want to know anything, the old lady must know everything. Liu De gave the Queen Mother an idea again.

The Queen Mother thought about it, and finally shook her head and said, "You don't know, my mother is not like an ordinary woman." "She knew her mother too well.

As the only girl in the family, the Queen Mother has never received a trace of love from the old lady, nor has she ever enjoyed the soft words of the old lady. What the old lady gave her the most was a stern education and a cold face. Even now that she is the queen mother, and the entire Hou Mansion now depends on her, the old lady's attitude towards her has never changed, as always.

The reason why Lao Taijun treats the Queen Mother like this is not because Lao Taijun values sons over daughters, but because Lao Taijun's family rules are very strict, and all children under his knees are treated equally. And for her to be the queen mother now, the old lady is happy and proud in her heart. It's just that on the surface, it is the same as always, and the Queen Mother also knows this.

I want the old marquis to die young, leaving them orphans and widows. The old lady gritted her teeth, supported the family alone, and pulled the three children to grow up. Although the title of the old marquis was hereditary to the eldest son, the marquis was still young at that time, and the dignitaries in the court were secretly calculating their marquis. But they were all resolved by the old lady one by one, and left no traces. and assisted the three children to occupy a place in the court.

It can be seen that the old lady is thoughtful, clever and tactful. These can't help but make the Queen Mother in awe of her mother.

"The old slave thinks that even if the old lady is like a torch and can see a thing or two, but this Mrs. Li is coming behind her old man's back, and the queen mother doesn't have to care." Liu De rolled his eyes, and said: "If, at this moment, the Queen Mother brings the old lady to the palace as if nothing happened, and the mother and daughter inadvertently mention the matter of Princess Yan when they gossip, I am afraid that the old lady will not hide it, let alone have any suspicions." ”

"Do you think that this Mrs. Li can hide from the old lady when she enters the palace today?!" The Queen Mother shook her head, as if she had made up her mind, "What the mourning family should really do now is to wait." After a few days, Mrs. Li will forget about entering the palace, and the mourning family will find a reason to visit her old man in the Hou Mansion in person, and maybe it will be possible to find a thing or two from her mouth. The Queen Mother knew that this matter must not be rushed, especially in the face of the old lady, she had to calm down first.

"But Queen Mother, aren't you anxious to find out the bottom of Princess Yan?" Liu De was puzzled, why the Queen Mother, who couldn't wait just now, was calm at the moment.

The Queen Mother smiled but did not answer, and said: "Set up the imperial study!" The mourning family is going to discuss with the emperor about filling the harem. ”

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

Li did not hesitate to bury his head in the legal code in Zhao Qingcheng's study all day, and he also ate two white-flour steamed buns here for lunch and dinner.

"Miss, it's so late, you better go back to your room and rest first!" Chun Tao looked at Li Wei and didn't even move his seat for a day, and even his posture didn't seem to have changed, and he was very distressed. "It's not too late to keep Ming'er for those who can't finish watching, isn't there still a day to pass the hall, Miss, don't get tired."

"It's okay, I'm not tired yet." Li did not hesitate to read the pages of the book.

Chun Tao sighed helplessly, "Then I'll make you some supper." ”

"No, you can go down and rest first!" Li didn't hesitate to look up at Chun Tao, who was gradually sleepy, "I don't have to wait here." She was reluctant to let Fat Chun Tao accompany her so much.

"But ······"

Li didn't hesitate to know what Chun Tao wanted to say, so he interrupted her. "Don't worry, I still have something to talk to the prince in a while."

"Then Chun Tao will retreat first." Hearing Li Weixi say this, Chun Tao settled down. However, she smiled evilly before leaving, "Save the prince from getting in the way when he comes to Chun Tao!" With that, she snickered and left the study.

Li Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to read at night······

The reason why she chose to study law in another world was because she thought that one day when she returned, she could use the knowledge she had learned and mastered to help her father reform the law. Although she was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, she often heard her father mention the concept of "strengthening the country by law and governing the country according to law" at home. Hou Ye also made suggestions to the emperor many times, but unfortunately he was opposed by the ministers, and he was not adopted by the emperor in the end.

And when Li did not hesitate to come to this almost perfect world in her eyes, she truly realized the so-called concept of "strengthening the country by law and governing the country according to law" at that time. At this moment, she looked at the legal books of Yuexi Kingdom, and admired Hou Ye's foresight from the bottom of her heart.

However, Li did not hesitate to understand why Hou Ye's reform could not be carried out back then.

"Daddy, you're a little too anxious, and you're simplifying things." Li didn't hesitate to say to himself.

Not everyone is as selfless as Lord Hou and cares about the people of the world. The interests of the powerful and powerful are intricate, and they are not easy to let go.

Li Wei sighed lightly: "It's a pity that I am a daughter, and I am afraid it will be difficult to inherit my father's will." For the first time, she felt a little annoyed that she was a woman.

"When did I become so sentimental." She laughed self-deprecatingly.

The reason why Hou Ye named her "Wei Xi" is that it means "not a pity", that is, it is not a pity to give birth to a daughter. It can be seen that Hou Ye loves and values Li Weixi.

"Since my father has never been disappointed because I am a woman, why should I be self-indulgent."

In another world, what a man can do, a woman can do too. What's more, in addition to strength, Li did not hesitate not to feel that he was inferior to men.

Li did not hesitate to secretly make up her mind in her heart, if one day she investigates the events of the year clearly, she will definitely go all out to complete the dream of Hou Ye's ultimate life.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of Zhao Qingcheng again. After all, whether it is to explore the events of the year or to complete the will of the Hou Ye, it is inseparable from Zhao Qingcheng's assistance.

Of course, it would be great if Zhao Qingcheng could regain the throne! Li was taken aback by the thoughts that flashed in his mind. But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, the throne was originally his, but she didn't know what Zhao Qingcheng himself thought. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to test Zhao Qingcheng, but don't become a shaved picker when the time comes.

Pulling back his thoughts, Li did not hesitate to look at the mountains of legal books in front of him, took a deep breath, and continued to immerse himself in hard reading. Compared with what Fang Cai thought, this lawsuit is her top priority right now.

Zhao Qingcheng was also busy today, and he dragged his slightly tired body back to the palace. When he walked slowly to the door of the study, he was surprised to find that there was a candle flame in the study.

Zhao Qingcheng pushed the door in, and what greeted him was a mountain of books on the desk, and he was sleeping soundly in them.

Zhao Qingcheng approached and called a few times but did not respond, he shook his head helplessly, and walked towards the bedroom on the inside of the study. Halfway through, Zhao Qingcheng sighed and retreated, he reached out and gently picked up Li Weixi, and walked towards the outside of the study.

This is the second time Zhao Qingcheng has hugged her, but it is the first time he has found that she is so petite and gentle, with a faint fragrance of lotus flowers on her body. The sleeping face in his arms is calm and gentle, not like the coldness of weekdays, nor like the arguments of the face of him.

Zhao Qingcheng had slowed down his pace as much as possible, but the lovely man in his arms still writhed and woke up.

Li didn't hesitate to be sleepy-eyed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you back?" ”

Zhao Qingcheng replied with an "um" sound.

Under the hazy moonlight, Zhao Qingcheng suddenly felt that Li Weixi, who was obediently staying in his arms, was so charming and moving, he didn't even plan to let go of her.

Li did not hesitate to feel that Zhao Qingcheng's breath was very close to her, and when she looked up, she saw his resolute chin, knowing that she was being held in his arms.

Li didn't regret that there was no girl's shyness, no fierce resistance, she said lightly: "What time is it?" Li did not hesitate to support his broad shoulders and got out of his arms.

"The time has passed." Zhao Qingcheng didn't insist on her reaction, and helped her stand firm as if nothing happened.

However, she still softened her tone, "You're tired today, go back early to rest, you don't have to send me." After only taking two steps, Li didn't regret to think of something and turned around and said, "That's right!" I'll ask you to investigate the matter and I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow, and don't accept the books on the desk, I've only sorted out half of those laws, and I'll get them tomorrow. With that, she walked towards her house.

Zhao Qingcheng stood still and did not move back to the study until she saw her Qianying enter the room.

After returning to the study, the pile of books was particularly eye-catching, and Zhao Qingcheng was very curious about what Li was sorting out. He walked over but gave him a casual glance, but it stopped him.

There is a stack of paper in the pile of books that is particularly eye-catching, and Juanxiu's words are densely written, and what makes Zhao Qingcheng stop is the content inside. It shows the loopholes and deficiencies in the current law, and how they can be revised and improved. Not only that, but also a detailed record of how to carry out and implement it.

Li didn't hesitate to really surprise Zhao Qingcheng! He knew that Li Wei, who had been in another world, would have a lot more insight and vision than a woman in this world, but he would not understand these things, let alone be so proficient, after all, Empress Taizu from another world was not good at this.

Of course, Zhao Qingcheng didn't know that the reason why Empress Taizu and Li Weixi had a difference in knowledge in this area was because one studied music in modern times, while the other studied law.

I don't know what else he is capable of in this princess of agreement? Zhao Qingcheng was suddenly very glad that he had made the decision at the beginning, and there might be other surprises if he stayed with her. If that's the case, then he's probably going to have to reconsider some things······
