Chapter 180: Xingyue's Life Experience

"Chu Yuelou? Little brother, what are you bringing me here for? Yun Lin looked at the delicate and gorgeous plaque above her head and wondered, "Why does it look more like a place the more I look at it?" ”

"This is the Qinglou." Li He said.

"Huh?" Yun Lin opened her mouth wide: "You actually brought your sister to visit a brothel?" You're getting more and more disagreeable?! ”

Li He hurriedly said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I am innocent......"

Yun Lin immediately scoffed: "You will be innocent, and the trees can climb pigs!" Then Xiu glared: "Tell me honestly!" Is there a good relationship in this Qinglou, I don't dare to tell my grandfather and father, pull my sister, I will be a shield for you? ”

Li He said embarrassedly: "This, sister, it's not what you think, we're here to find someone." ”

"Nonsense, every man who enters the Qinglou is here to find someone!"

Li He rolled his eyes and simply didn't explain anything. Actually, what my sister said is not completely wrong......

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Zhang?" Seeing Li He and his entourage arrive at the door, they immediately walked out of Chu Yuelou and a young woman in her thirties who looked particularly charming and greeted everyone.

"Well, our son-in-law is looking for Miss Chu, Yun Niang will lead the way." Mr. Zhang, the guard of the Taishi Mansion, said. This is said very naturally, but if it is heard by other drinkers in Chu Yuelou, they will be surprised, you must know that Chu Linglong is really hard to find in the capital, that is, Emperor Xuanhe wanted to listen to her song back then, and it depended on whether she was willing to agree. However, those in the know know know that the reason why Chu Linglong can be exquisite in the capital is that there is a big backstage of Li Taishi, and it is easier for the people of the Li family to see her than the royal people.

Hearing this, the brewing old bustard's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li He and said, "Isn't this prince the Lord Wuwei Hou, who is known as General Huwei?" ”

Li He smiled faintly, in response, Mr. Zhang reprimanded: "So what are you doing wordy?" Lead the way. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't be fierce to the slave family, Lord Wuwei Hou's prestige has been resounding in the capital a few months ago, and he is the hero idol in the minds of his daughter's family, although the slave family is thin, but they also admire the Hou family, and now they can see it, it is really a blessing that the slave family has cultivated for several generations......" Brewing said lightly with a pair of beautiful eyebrows, although he tried his best to tease, but it made people feel that it was not pretentious, it can be seen that the woman of Chu Yuelou is not shallow in cultivating in the flattering road.

"Alright, let's lead the way." Mr. Zhang saw that Li He's face was expressionless and didn't speak, but Yun Lin next to him was already slightly disgusted, and he hurriedly interrupted and urged.

"Who is this Chu girl?" Yun Lin asked.

Yun Niang was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed and said: "It is said that General Huwei is the first in the world, the second son of Huyang Li is the first in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is surrounded by peerless beauties. If this young lady talks about her appearance, figure and temperament, she is no worse than Miss Chu. You know, Miss Chu is the first red card of our Chu Yuelou and the first beauty in the capital. ”

"First red card?" Yun Lin looked at Li He with a smile when she heard this.

Li He pretended not to see it, and said coldly to Yun Niang: "Don't you think there are too many words?" ”

When Yun Niang heard this cold voice, her heart trembled, she was too busy to speak, and silently led the way.

After arriving at Chu Linglong's quiet courtyard, Yun Niang asked the maid Xiaomin to report, and she hurriedly said goodbye and left, just after being coldly reprimanded by Li He, she felt like falling into an ice cave, her back was cold, if the momentum of Li He and several soldiers beside him did not converge, how could she stand it as an ordinary Qinglou woman.

Yun Lin looked left and right and sighed, "The environment here is really good, just like an outdoor paradise." Little brother, do you come often? ”

"Well, today is the second time." Li He doesn't have to lie about this.

"The second time?" Yun Lin looked suspicious. Could it be that the little brother and this Chu red card are on their second date today? So what else did he bring himself for? With his shrewdness, it couldn't have been easier to avoid sneaking in on a date. I couldn't help but wonder if I had misunderstood him.

"It turned out that the Marquis of Wuwei was here, and Linglong missed the welcome, please forgive me." A soft voice sounded, and Chu Linglong, who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked out of the boudoir accompanied by the maid Xiaomin and the ghost aunt, obviously dressed up deliberately.

Yun Lin looked at this Chu Yuelou's first red card curiously, she already felt that she might have misunderstood her little brother, but now when she saw that this woman was so beautiful and her temperament was so noble and elegant, she no longer believed that Li He would be bored with her. With the character of the younger brother, how could such a stunning beauty be let go.

Chu Linglong was also looking at Yun Lin at the same time, and said with a smile: "This must be Miss Yun Lin, the sister of Wu Weihou." ”

Yun Lin was surprised: "How do you know me?" ”

Li He said: "Sister, next to Miss Chu is Aunt Ghost." ”

"Aunt Ghost?!" Yun Lin looked at the ghost aunt next to Chu Linglong who was covered in a black robe and covered her face, there was some doubt in her eyes, when she saw the ghost aunt back then, she and Li He were still very young, and they didn't see the true face of the ghost aunt, so they didn't recognize it at a glance just now.

"Miss Lin, it's been a long time." Aunt Ghost's voice sounded, still so emotionless and lukewarm, indifferent like the autumn wind, but Li He and Yun Lin knew that she had always been like this, and they didn't care.

"Aunt Ghost, it's really you!" Yun Lin stepped forward with a happy face and held Aunt Ghost's black-gloved hand and spoke affectionately, Chu Linglong soon gave full play to her communication skills and participated in the conversation between the two girls, making it rare for Aunt Ghost, who had never said much, to chat with the two girls.

"Let's go inside." Li He nodded slightly to Qianqian and Xiangxiang beside him.

Mr. Zhang and other guards of the Taishi Mansion, You Bi, Yang Jin and others were taken by Xiao Min to another attic to drink tea and rest.

Li He and the girls went up to Chu Linglong's boudoir and went straight to the second floor.

I pushed the door into a room with a familiar way, stood in front of the bed, and saw a beautiful and touching girl sleeping soundly on the bed.

"She's just fallen asleep, do you want to wake her up?" Chu Linglong said softly beside him.

Li He looked at the girl on the bed for a while, shook his head, and led everyone out of the room gently.

"Who is this?" Yun Lin asked, Qianqian and Xiangxiang were also full of questions, but they believed that what Li He wanted to tell them, they would naturally say it, and if they didn't want them to know, they would naturally have a reason.

"A poor girl." Li He left this sentence lightly, and walked to another small hall on the second floor, obviously when he took the girl to sneak into Chu Linglong's boudoir, he explored the terrain and room clearly.

Not only Yun Lin's three daughters, but also Chu Linglong and Aunt Ghost were also full of questions, anxious to wait for him to answer.

After the girls came to the small hall, they saw Li He standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the lush small forest outside, thinking about something.

"Wu Weihou, there are some questions about the concubine, I don't know whether to ask or not." Chu Linglong hesitated for a moment and said.

"Just ask." Li He turned around.

"Wu Weihou took this girl to take care of the concubine that day, but she didn't reveal any of her information, and after she woke up, she ignored our words, and the only thing she said was to find the fairy brother. So much so that now, we don't even know her name, can you ask Hou Ye to answer a question or two. Chu Linglong said slowly.

"Brother Fairy?" Yun Lin looked at Li He strangely and asked, "That fairy brother, it won't be you, the little brother, right?" ”

Li He said: "She was rescued by me from the hands of the assassins, she suffered a very miserable encounter, she is a poor girl, maybe it is a gratitude to me and a belief in my strength, she calls me a fairy brother." "Being called a fairy brother, his heart is a little beautiful, and it feels really good to be trusted and worshiped by others, especially women.

"Rescued from the Assassins?" Yun Lin looked suspicious, "Then why don't you take it back to the Taishi Mansion and stay here?" Her identity is unknown, what if the Assassins deliberately played a bitter ploy? ”

Li He said: "It was because I was worried that my grandfather and eldest brother would suspect them that I didn't let them know and left her here." I can assure you, though, that she's absolutely fine. ”

Aunt Ghost also nodded and said, "She really doesn't have martial arts." ”

Chu Linglong also said: "The concubine has also checked her body, except for the scars on her body and her blind eyes, she really doesn't see anything wrong." Those scars were obviously the result of a long period of abuse, but she was still a virgin, which surprised the concubine, these assassins were so cruel and shameless, they had abused her for so long, and she was so handsome, why didn't they violate her? ”

Of course, Li He knew the reason, but he naturally didn't tell the girls, but said: "I don't know, maybe the leader of the assassins wants her virgin body, don't many of those cult martial arts require virgin virginity?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of his martial arts, which seemed to be similar to the cult's half-catty and eighty-tael......

"That'...... Does Master Hou know her name? No matter what we asked her, she wouldn't say. Chu Linglong asked.

"Well, her name is ...... Fei'er. ”

"Fei'er? And what about the surname? ”

"The surname is Li."

Yun Lin immediately said, "Li Fei'er? Little brother, this is the name you gave to others again! "This is obviously the style of the younger brother to name his woman.

"Name, isn't it just a code name, you can remember it, just call it." Li He said leisurely. This name was given to her during the conversation when she flew away from Miyagi that day, and she liked it very much, and she also said that she no longer wanted to be called Xingyue, let alone surnamed Han.

Yun Lin said with a slight annoyance: "You stinky boy, why can you go anywhere?" Just go out for a walk and pick up a peerless beauty, march and fight can also capture other people's princesses, and even chase and kill assassins to save a beauty, this god is too short-sighted. ”

"Uh......" Li He blinked, didn't say anything, indeed, his luck is good, it seems that his luck in this life has never been bad, God is still very wise, I have to bring him a few roast pigs and roast chickens another day.

Chu Linglong covered her mouth and smiled: "How else can you be called the first son of the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Li He simply took care of himself and tasted the fragrant tea that Qianqian had made for him, ignoring the cynicism of his sister and Chu Linglong.

Sure enough, this trick was very effective, and the two girls talked for a while, and when they saw that Li He ignored him, they also felt bored, so they chatted about other things.

Yun Lin knew through conversation that Linglong was the pianist of her grandfather Li Taishi, and now she didn't have a too close relationship with Li He, and there was much less hostility in her heart.

Chu Linglong is indeed worthy of being the first red card of Chu Yuelou, for so many years of maneuvering among high-ranking officials and nobles, this communication ability is naturally good, and within a few clicks, she and Yun Lin said that she had a hot fight, and made an appointment to go to the famous streets of the capital together.

"Aunt Ghost, I want to ask you a few questions." Li He suddenly put down the teacup and said.

As soon as Linglong and Yunlin heard what he said, they also stopped talking and looked over.

"Ask." Aunt Ghost's answer was still concise.

"Aunt Ghost should know more about the situation in the palace, I want to ask how many princesses there are in the royal family of Great Xia today?" Li He asked. The identity and origin of the ghost aunt is a secret even in the Li family, only the grandfather and father know, and even the eldest brother Li Ming does not know, only vaguely knows that she is originally from the palace.

Aunt Ghost was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "It's been a long time since there was any news, you can ask Linglong." ”

Chu Linglong immediately said, "Why does Wuwei Hou care about this?" Do you want to marry all the princesses of Daxia back to hide Jiao? After saying that, he laughed first, but Yun Lin frowned slightly, with the absurdity of the younger brother, this thing is really not impossible. Thinking of the two princesses in the Splendid Hall that day, she couldn't have a good impression of the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Li He hurriedly said: "What's the matter, I'm just asking, if you don't know, forget it." He wanted to ask the people in the Taishi's mansion, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that his grandfather would become suspicious and find out something.

"Well, the sisters and daughters of the first emperor combined, there are at least more than 100 princesses in the Great Xia Kingdom today, and the concubines can't be remembered."

"Do you know about Princess Rongyang and Princess Jianwen?" Li He asked. Yun Lin also looked at Linglong, she also wanted to see what kind of people the two princesses who were offended by her little brother were and what kind of origins they had.

Chu Linglong said: "These two princesses are the two biological daughters of the Empress Dowager Wu, who have been favored by the Empress Dowager Wu since childhood, and no one dares to mess with them when they run rampant in the palace, and they are ridiculous* than their emperor brothers. This Princess Rongyang was broken at the age of thirteen, and it is rumored that a certain little commander of the Miyagi Yulin Army was forced by her to do it, but after breaking her, this little commander also disappeared inexplicably. Since then, Princess Rong Yang's lasciviousness and debauchery have been an undisclosed secret, and many generals of the Yulin Army and young officials of the dynasty have had affairs with her. And Princess Jianwen ...... But it is a good thing of a false dragon and a fake phoenix, and he has also misbehaved with his concubine, but because of the presence of a ghost aunt, he failed to succeed. Anyway, these two princesses can be said to have lost the face of the Great Xia royal family, but with the favor of the Empress Dowager Wu, no one dared to provoke them. ”

Li He secretly scolded in his heart, this "slut" princess is really a homosexual, and she actually got her sister's idea. Isn't it the daughter of the Empress Dowager Wu and the sister of the eunuch emperor? Others don't dare to mess with them, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't dare.

Li He asked a few more questions casually, what is the tallest princess, the most talented princess, the oldest princess, the youngest princess or something, and then suddenly asked: "Is there a princess of Xingyue?" ”

"Princess Xingyue? How did Wu Weihou know Princess Xingyue? Chu Linglong said in surprise.

Li He said: "Oh, once I heard my eldest brother mention it, and I thought this title was very good, so I asked." ”

"Li Shilang talked about Princess Xingyue? What did he say? ”

"I don't remember, what's wrong?" Li He frowned slightly, it seems that Princess Xingyue's past is indeed involved in some palace secrets, thinking that Chu Linglong often has contact with people from the royal aristocracy, so she knows a lot of palace secrets and scandals.

Yun Lin said strangely: "What? Is there anything wrong with this Princess Star-Moon? ”

Chu Linglong looked at Aunt Ghost, who immediately searched the surroundings with a qi machine, and then slowly shook his head and said, "There is no problem." ”

Li He said: "Miss Chu and Aunt Ghost rest assured, there is a fragrant fragrance, which can ensure that the partition wall has no ears, and no one can eavesdrop." "I want to eavesdrop and peep under the vigilance of the thousand-year-old fox demon, unless it's a god.

Chu Linglong sighed and said: "Princess Xingyue was born by Concubine Yu, because her eyes are very beautiful, like bright stars, and her cheeks are as white as a moon disk, so the first emperor gave Princess Xingyue the title." ”

"Eyes like stars? Have you ever met Princess Star-Moon? Li He asked casually.

Chu Linglong shook her head: "No, few people have seen her at all, after the incident a few years ago, she and Concubine Yu were slowly and deliberately forgotten." ”

"A few years ago? What happened a few years ago? Yun Lin asked.

Li He remembered that a few years ago, his father rushed to the capital several times, saying that the situation had changed, probably because of that. Major events in the court are generally accompanied by turmoil in the court and changes in power.

"I don't know exactly what happened to the concubines, but Concubine Yu and the other two concubines who were originally favored were suddenly abolished overnight, and several foreign relatives groups with them as the core also collapsed, followed by the replacement of the power of the imperial court." Chu Linglong said and looked at Li He and Yun Lin: "The Li family is the biggest winner of this change of power. ”

Li He didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that Chu Linglong was implying that the palace incident was inseparable from the Li family. Nine times out of ten, this kind of struggle between relatives and groups was launched by the Empress Dowager Wu, who was the queen at that time, and the Li family obviously supported the queen's line, so they gained benefits in the final distribution of results. But it's no wonder that the Li family has this opportunity, it's just that the Li family has this opportunity according to its strength, and whoever changes it will have to do the same thing. The palace and the court are the same as the law of survival in the jungle - the law of the jungle - the law of the jungle.

Chu Linglong continued: "The children of the three concubines were also affected by this, and the prince and princess who were knighted were all stripped of their titles and put under house arrest. Among them, Princess Xingyue was revealed to be born to Concubine Yu and others, and the human and material evidence was conclusive, and the first emperor was furious. ”

"And then?" Yun Lin asked.

And then ...... Then I didn't know, this matter was a big scandal in the royal family, the news blockade was very tight, and the concubine guessed that for so many years, Princess Xingyue had been tortured to death. If Sister Lin and Wu Weihou want to know the exact details, they can go and ask the Taishi. Chu Linglong said.

Li He already knew what happened then. The old Emperor Xuanhe blinded her eyes because Xingyue's beautiful eyes were not inherited from him, and sent her into the cold palace, put on chains, and was bullied and tortured by the palace maids and eunuchs and even Yulin Jun.

The palace is indeed a dark place. However, there seem to be few places in this world that are not dark, that is, Li He himself, who is also a dark maker in the eyes of others. He couldn't help but think of the Tianshan cave and paradise where he found Ling'er.

Chu Linglong seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Actually, the fornication in the palace is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and one out of ten of those princes and princesses is not born to the emperor himself. is the princess Jianwen, according to people, who was also born to the Empress Dowager Wu illegally. It's just that no one has examined it, and there is no evidence, so they can't help it. Hehe, in the court, concubines can get everything not only by virtue of beauty and charm. Sometimes, beauty and charm can lead to death, perhaps this is the reason for the lack of popularity. The tone couldn't help but be a little sad.

Yes, if she hadn't had the powerful backstage of the Li family, I am afraid that she would have become the plaything of those powerful and rich people. If she is forcibly recruited into the palace by the emperor, with her Qinglou background and no family power, it will be left out in the cold, if she is favored by the emperor, then I am afraid that she will not even be able to save her life for long.

The palace is a gorgeous hell and garbage heap separated by palace walls. This is Li He's definition of the imperial palace.

A few days later, the Hua family and the Li family held a low-key marriage ceremony in the Taishi Mansion, making Huazi officially Li He's wife. Because it is still during the mourning period, the originally planned grand wedding banquet can only be moved to Huyang to make up, and the wedding in the capital can only be called a marriage ceremony, which is simple and short-lived, except for a few relatives and friends of the Hua family, there are only Li Bu brothers and sisters and a few friends in Li Hejun. It's not that other officials refused to come, this was a great opportunity to show goodwill to the Li family, but that Li Taishi ordered all officials not to come. However, the officials still sent congratulatory gifts without exception. The number of congratulatory gifts is breathtaking.

The next day, the report of the southwest war was delivered to the capital. The people of the Southwest Meteor Clan really rose up under the leadership and instigation of the Tianya Sect, and under the banner of destroying the Xia Fu, they instantly occupied most of the southwest towns. The Nanming Mansion surrendered without even resisting, and many officials and local officers and generals also suddenly defected, which shows that the rebellion of the Meteorite and the Tianya Sect was planned for a long time.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, his prestige was not established, and the princes and nobles and feudal officials in various places took a wait-and-see attitude, and refused to carry out the imperial court's transfer order for a long time, so that the people of the Meteorite tribe were like bamboos in the southwest and had no resistance.

The imperial court immediately convened the ministers to discuss and prepare to form a rebel army to quell the rebellion in the south.
