171, there are women like Yan
Before You'an could come up with a clue, Wei Xiu'er, who read the letter, was already crying with joy: "We can go back, we can finally go back......"
Li Xian didn't even read the content of the letter, but when he heard Wei Xiu'er say, he was so excited that he was incoherent, and he didn't know what to say.
Wei Xiu'er pinched the letter in her hand, crossed her waist and said: "When you return to Beijing, you will be a prince of noble origin again, you have to remember what you said, I have been with you in Fangling for so many years, you said that if there is a day when you return to wealth, you will definitely let me do whatever I want, and listen to me in everything." ”
Li Xian nodded again and again: "That's nature, I will never fail you in this life and this life, I will not forget." ”
Returning to the capital with the permission of the empress and packing up the things she had taken away was a big project. The Luling Wang couple were so excited that they couldn't sleep, but the children didn't have much yearning, except for Wei Xiu'er's eldest son Li Chongrun, who grew up in Beijing to a few years old, the rest of the children almost grew up in Fangling, and they had no impression of what Chang'an was like.
You'an secretly looked at Li Xian's children, needless to say, among the sons, the eldest son Li Chongrun is the best. Because there is only this one son, Wei Xiuer loves him very much, and it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant. Among the daughters, the most outstanding is Li Bao'er, that is, Wei Xiu'er had no choice but to give birth to the child who was born on the road, and even this name was called because he was casually wrapped in his father's clothes when he was born.
Li Xian and Wei Xiuer both love this daughter very much, they just think that because she suffered when she was born, they have some thoughts of compensation as parents. But You'an's bystanders are clear and can see clearly, although this child has not yet fully grown up, he can already see that he is a small beauty embryo, and he has completely inherited Wei Xiuer's excellent facial features, and because he has lived a carefree life since he was a child, he has added a bit of rare beauty. When she grows up in the future, she will definitely be a beauty who will captivate the country and the city.
You'an silently calculated in her heart, after returning to Beijing, I am afraid that there will be a lot of things that will fall on this girl, King Luling has such a bewitching daughter, which is really a rare help for her.
She found a local rattan stick, boiled it with its leaves, and applied it to her face, causing large areas of her skin to turn yellow and black, looking like she had measles. She smeared most of her face with this water, making her appearance coarse and ugly, completely different from before, and brought a lot of sun-dried leaves with her, so that she could continue to maintain this appearance in Kyochu.
Everything was ready, and she followed the Luling King family and set off. The mountains are high and the rivers are wide, and it will be more than half a year after I really arrived in Beijing.
Li Xian and Wei Xiu'er have been away from Beijing for several years, and many things have been wrong, Wei Xiu'er's father and elder brother have been implicated because of the conviction of King Luling, and only a few young brothers are safe and sound. Almost all of the courtiers had new faces, and even Lai Junchen, who was still in the prime of life when You'an left, was later executed by order of the empress. The hottest in the palace is several handsome young men around the empress, the most outstanding of which is called Zhang Yizhi, who is the cousin of the beautiful young man who is the princess of Taiping.
Because he never left the empress almost day and night, if the courtiers wanted to play anything, they had to curry favor with him first, so that things could be handed to the empress smoothly. If you make this beautiful young man who looks a little like Pei Shizhen unhappy, no matter what you do, you don't want to take half a step.
Li Xian and Wei Xiu'er returned to Beijing under such circumstances, and they had more worries and fears in their hearts than when they were in Fangling. Their mansion has already been given to others, and the empress has said in the palace that their family will live in the post house for the time being, and then make plans in a few days. Because of this arrangement, Li Xian didn't sleep well for a few days, and lamented to Wei Xiu'er, maybe after seeing the empress's face, he still had to go back to Fangling.
Only You'an has a different idea about this news, she has been away for a few years, and she is not as familiar with the situation in Beijing as before, but she is familiar with the personality of the empress, and she will definitely not make meaningless arrangements, maybe Li Xian's good opportunity is really coming.
The empress's energy is no longer as good as before, and the Luling royal couple waited for more than a month to return to Beijing before finally arranging a date to enter the palace to meet Her Majesty. According to the arrangement of the palace, all the children should be brought with them. But on the day of entering the palace, You'an told Wei Xiu'er to let her leave Li Bao'er behind and only take the rest of the children with her.
"Why?" Wei Xiu'er couldn't keep up with You'an's train of thought, "If you let the palace know that Bao'er is lazy and doesn't go to see the emperor's grandmother, the mother emperor will definitely be angry." ”
You'an shook his head: "If you don't go, you naturally have to have a reason not to go, for example, this child is a little more delicate, and he has been traveling for days and is not accustomed to the water and soil when he first arrived in Beijing, and he is sick, so as not to pass the illness to Her Majesty, of course, I have to choose another day and go to see her imperial grandmother." ”
"Is this okay?" When she arrived in Beijing, Wei Xiu'er was not so bold, "In case the palace sends someone to see and finds that Bao'er is not sick at all, wouldn't it be a big crime of deception?" ”
"Don't worry, there won't be anyone at this time, focus on a little girl," You'an was afraid that the two of them would not be able to hold back, so he only said half of his words, "If Her Majesty mentions it and asks her to enter the palace in a few days to meet her, you can just agree." ”
Although Wei Xiu'er didn't understand what You'an was going to do, she still chose to trust her, and according to You'an's advice, she didn't tell Li Xian the truth, only saying that Bao'er was really uncomfortable, and she was afraid that she would lose her honor in front of the emperor, but it was not good, so it was better to stay in the residence first. Li Xian really loved this daughter very much, and immediately agreed to let her rest in the post house.
It's just a routine audience, and You'an's identity at this time is to follow Princess Luling's close maid, and there is no need to follow her into the palace. When Wei Xiu'er came back from the palace, she really brought back the news that the empress asked Li Bao'er to recuperate for ten days before entering the palace for an audience.
This was originally expected by You'an, the empress saw several of Li Xian's children, and she was not very enthusiastic about the boys, but carefully called the girls to come close to see. You'an had already thought that one of the most important reasons why the empress agreed to Li Xian's return to Beijing was that he had a daughter of the right age waiting to be married, and Li Xian vaguely stated his intention in the letter and was willing to form a family with the martial family.
The empress has been swaying repeatedly, who to appoint as the prince, if you want to inherit the country of Wu Zhou, it is naturally the most suitable to choose the prince from the martial family. However, on top of the etiquette system, there is another problem that cannot be bypassed, if it is a person from the martial family who ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, she, the empress, is not a father or mother, but just an aunt, and what kind of etiquette should be sacrificed is a problem.
