Chapter 230: Seizure

(Cat flutter Chinese) The two sat silent, and for a while, Li Tian whispered to himself: "I don't know if King Shou suddenly asked for battle." The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. The fifth prince understood the meaning of her words, if she suddenly asked for war, there must be a reason why she had to suddenly ask for war, the official family is so old and in poor health, but King Shou suddenly asked for war to go out, the reason for this is extremely frightening.

"He didn't mention it, and I didn't dare to ask more." The fifth prince smiled bitterly: "This matter can't be tempted, no matter why I suddenly asked for a fight, I have no other choice, in two days I will find an opportunity to ask my eldest brother to come over and help, someone looks at me, eldest brother rest assured, it is convenient for me and my eldest brother to communicate with each other." Li Tian nodded, and sighed again, she refused to marry someone with lofty ambitions, what she wanted to avoid was this danger of heaven and hell in the blink of an eye, who knew that people were not as good as heaven, after all, there was no way to avoid it.

"Duchess Qian of Dingguo took her daughter Jiu Niangzi into the palace today to greet Concubine Ye Guifei." The topic of the five princes changed very suddenly, and Li Tian frowned and said, "So anxious to send Sun Jiuniang to the Jian'an County Palace?" This...... What is a good thing for Sun Jiuniang? Li Tian didn't make it clear, now that the war in the north is about to start, it is the time to reuse the Zhu family, Zhu Mingyan's pregnancy at this time is a happy event for the Zhu family, and for the four princes, it is a good thing, a marriage is not reliable, if there is another eldest son, then this marriage can bring hope to the Zhu family for two generations, at this time, what the four princes want to do is not to take a concubine, but to spread the news, and they themselves also let others believe that Zhu Mingyan must be a boy.

"Each has its own plans," the fifth prince understood what Li Tian meant, and said with a smile: "Too much help, too much dependence, it is not necessarily a good thing, each family has its own plans, everyone has their own ideas, everyone wants to do a good job for themselves, by the way, they all want to grab the most advantageous position and stand up, and if there is civil strife, it will not help." Li Tian sighed and said: "Before it happens, sit on the ground first and divide the spoils, they all want to grab a dragon merit, too, no one is guilty of sacrificing themselves to cheapen others, and I don't know if Ye Guifei can see it." ”

"Ye Guifei has little cleverness but no great wisdom, besides, I always feel that the eldest brother has a lot of ability in the forbidden, at least there is nothing in the forbidden to hide from him, this matter, we can understand it, and the eldest brother can naturally understand it, wait and see, if two days later, Sun Jiuniang really entered the palace of Jian'an County......" The words of the fifth prince suddenly stopped, and he stayed for a while and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If that's the case, the eldest brother may want to ask the old marquis to come out of the mountain as a deputy marshal." ”

Li Tian thought about it, what did he want to say, but the words came to his mouth but swallowed again, Sun Jiuniang is a little like herself, and she learns from herself everywhere with ulterior motives, what if she helps her again? Well, this thing can only be done but not said, especially not in front of the five princes, Li Tian glanced at the five princes and closed his mouth in interest.

Early the next morning, Li Tian walked out of the main courtyard to the council hall, and just after turning two corners, Mama Qiao hurriedly took a few steps from the roadside pavilion and bent her knees and saluted: "Say hello to the princess." ”

"You're waiting for me here? Can I help you? Li Tian didn't stop, only raised his hand, and asked with a smile as he walked, Mama Qiao quickly glanced at Mama Xiong, the circle of people around Li Tian, the most taboo thing for her was this Mama Xiong, Mama Qiao bowed slightly, and followed Li Tian half a step behind him with a smile and said: "It's not waiting for the princess, the slave maid has a few important words that she wants to report to the princess." ”

"Well, you name it."

Mama Qiao coughed a few times, looked left and right, Li Tian walked in front, couldn't see and didn't want to see her movements, Mama Xiong and Qingzhi and others saw it, looked at Li Tian, but only pretended not to see, Mama Qiao had to take a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "There are a few extremely important words to report to the princess." ”

"Oh?" Li Tian paused, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Just say it, there are no outsiders here." Mama Qiao laughed a few times, seeing that Li Tian paused, and walked forward unhurriedly, it seemed that she didn't take these words to heart at all, Mama Qiao followed a few steps, and saw that she was about to get out of the garden, so she had to lean over and whisper: "The slave has been thinking about this for several days, if you don't remind the princess, let the princess lose her reputation because of this, wouldn't it be the slave's fault?" Although this is not what the slaves and maids should say, they really dare not mention it to the princess. ”

"If you have something to say, just say it." Li Tian's voice was gentle, but her words were not polite, Mama Qiao swallowed in embarrassment, she didn't want to say this, but she had to say it.

"The princess is a rare virtuous person, and the whole house can see it clearly, but the outside is ...... Actually spread those bad words, Mama Wu came to our house to teach, this is the blessing of our house, originally the slave maid should not say this, but the slave maid did not say, just afraid that one day Mama Wu spoke, the princess will not be easy to deal with, now there is no suitable waiter around the princess, in the end it will damage the reputation of the princess's virtue, it is better for the princess to personally pick a few suitable people to put next to the prince, it is better than Mama Wu spoke, regardless of the princess's will to forcibly release people to the prince's house, do you say? ”

"Oh?" Li Tian slowed down, turned his head to look at Mama Qiao, and couldn't tell whether he was smiling or disdainful in his eyes, but after glancing at Mama Qiao, he turned his head, and instructed in a casual tone as he walked: "Mama has been worried about who should be arranged for your prince from the first day she entered the mansion, it's really embarrassing for Mama, since Mama's heart is on this, then this important matter will be entrusted to Mama, your prince is golden and noble, and the people around you naturally have to be carefully selected, so bother Mama to pick a few concubines for the prince, well, so let's do it," Li Tian frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and said: "There is a brother above the fifth master, it is not wrong to learn according to the brother, how do you four masters pick this concubine, you can choose how you prince, but you can't go past the elder brother, just compare with the fourth master, take two steps back and choose, you have also said several times, your prince is a picky person, don't be lazy, no matter what, you have to choose one out of ten, you pick four or five first, and I and your prince will pick another one." ”

Mama Qiao, who listened to the words, was dumbfounded, how could there be a reason for a slave to choose a concubine for the master's family? Besides, the princess said it clearly, she wants to choose from among the nobles in the capital according to the example of the king of Jian'an County, who has become of this pick? The king of Jian'an County picked the matter of the side concubine, but the concubine was in charge, and this matter could not be agreed to no matter what!

"Princess Mingjian, how dare the slave and maid pick someone for the prince, wouldn't that be ......?"

"And what do you mean by that?" Li Tian suddenly stopped his steps, turned to stare at Mama Qiao, his face was full of frost, and his tone was sharp: "Since you said that there is no one to serve your prince, and you asked you to pick someone for your prince, and you refuse to accept the messenger, then what does this mean, are you picking on me?" Picky that I didn't do a good job of the mission you gave me? Is Mama the housekeeper in this house, or the ancestor in this house? I don't know, could it be that Mama came to this house from the forbidden middle school, and she didn't receive an envoy from the Shang Palace, but she wanted to be my mother-in-law? ”

Mama Qiao hadn't seen Li Tian get angry before, and she didn't expect Li Tian to turn her face so quickly, she was stunned for a while, her face was blue and red and looked at Li Tian, she was stunned and didn't react, Qingzhi hurriedly stepped forward and pushed her and said, "Why is Mama still standing?" Don't apologize yet! Mama Qiao reacted at this time, knelt on the ground with a plop, opened her mouth and was about to defend, Li Tian stared at her coldly and said: "I respect you for being older, but I respect the demon moth, you are also well-informed, you tell me, like you, you don't care about anything serious, just dig out your mind to stuff people into the master's room, if you put it in another house, how to deal with it?" Are you bullying me? Or do you bully me that my mother's family has no one? ”

"The slave and maid don't dare, please find out to the princess, what the slave and maid mean......" Mama Qiao saw that Li Tian was getting heavier and heavier, and hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, Li Tian took a half step back and said coldly: "Don't dare?" You already dare, if I indulge you again, will you force me to tie up your prince and send it to the beauty house next? Whether I'm virtuous or not, can you manage it? Kneel! After speaking, Li Tian turned around and left, Mama Xiong was half a step behind, beckoned a little girl to come over and ordered: "Watch carefully, someone will replace you and leave." The little girl shrunk her neck and nodded, seeing that Mama Xiong was gone, she took a few steps back, took a few steps back, and stood in a proper manner.

In the conference hall, Mama Wu was already standing upright at the door and waiting, when she saw Li Tian coming in, she bent her knees and bowed, and followed Li Tian into the conference hall, Li Tian sat down on the kang, signaled Qingzhi to guard the door, turned her head to look at Mama Wu, and said the matter of dealing with Mama Qiao in a few words, looked at Mama Wu and said: "Mama Qiao is so harsh, is it the right thing for a slave to be?" Besides, the fifth master is a prince who reads poetry and books, if I lose my virtue, how can I be accommodated in front of the fifth master? If you follow Mama Qiao's meaning, wouldn't it be that the fifth master was asked to take a concubine for the sake of taking a concubine, how could this be done by a scholar? I know that my grandmother made a special trip to the house to teach, firstly, because I was taught by few people since I was a child, and I must be taught to do a good job and conform to the norms of the royal daughter-in-law, and not to make a mistake; Second, it is also necessary to teach the fifth master not to be frivolous and indulge in women, which damages virtue and hurts the dignity of the royal family. But the fifth master and I have been married for less than a year, and I have not been inconvenienced, so I have to force me to take a concubine for the fifth master again and again, which truth is this? ”

Li Tian's sudden attack made Mama Wu stunned, looked at Li Tian with a frosty face, and was stunned before replying: "Mama Qiao's words and deeds are indeed inappropriate, but after all, she is the housekeeper sent by the palace, it stands to reason that what her parents gave is a cat and dog, and she will be given a little more dignity, and the princess will punish her to kneel in public, just afraid that her filial piety will be damaged." ”

"Mama was sent by the official family as a gift, so it turns out that Mama Qiao was also ordered by the official family? I don't know this, or do I mean, but whoever comes from the forbidden must be respected as an ancestor? Li Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a smile, Mama Wu's face changed slightly, she thought about it and said it seriously, Li Tian and the five princes have only one father, that is, the official family, in addition, it is Ye Guifei, no matter how expensive she is, she is also a concubine, but she is not a wife in charge of the harem, naturally she is not the mother of the sons, the concubine has to serve three years of filial piety, in addition to the mother-in-law, only the biological mother, usually must be respectful to filial piety, seriously speaking, only the mother-in-law, that is to say, Ye Guifei and the five princes and Li Tian are not even elders, the people who come over around her, It is true that filial piety is not discussed, and several princes are afraid of her power, rather than being restrained by etiquette. Mama Wu understood the meaning of Li Tian's words in a blink of an eye, and naturally stopped talking.

Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief, turned his gaze, took a sip of tea from his cup, and said: "I respect her, she really thinks that she is the person of her aunt in this mansion, and kneeling to wake up is only good for her." "Mama Wu looked at Li Tian with complicated eyes, this 'she', does she mean Mama Qiao, or herself? Or is it Ye Guifei? In the past few days of coming to the mansion, she has seen clearly that in this mansion, the princess and the prince are indeed one, and that lord is the prince...... Although Mama Wu couldn't understand why Li Tian suddenly had a seizure of Mama Qiao, she was wise silent. Cat flutter Chinese
