As a concubine, she has no right to speak, on the one hand, she has to find ways to win the prince's favor, and she has to beware of those beautiful women, don't give birth to an heir before her, more than two years later, she is not yet twenty years old, but she looks much older than her actual age.

Li Xinran waited eagerly in the wing room, and it was not until the middle of the night that her personal maid tried her best to get out the news, and then she knew about the changes in the daytime.

She lifted her hijab and said with a resentful face: "It's Li Zixuan again, why does she always spoil my good deeds!" ”

The long fingernails stained with impatiens pinched into the palms of her hands, but the pain was less than one-third of her hatred.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the next day, in the circle of women in Kyoto, the pot exploded, openly and secretly, all satirizing Li Xinran and Yao Yuan's two pieces of goods.

Li Xinran heard the rumors and was so angry that he died.

Yao Yuan couldn't help but be angry, and ran to complain to her, both of them were "ridiculed", and there was no moment when they were more united than now.

Li Xinran said: "Those ugly words, word for word, were transmitted to the prince's mansion from the outside to us to listen, what does my sister think?" ”

Yao Yuan thought about it for a while, and said with teary eyes: "Could it be... The Crown Princess? ”

Li nodded happily, "She deliberately let the rumors come in because she wanted us to cry sadly, the more this is the case, the more we have to fight, and we must not cry." ”

Speaking of this, Yao Yuan wiped away her tears and nodded: "My sister is right, we sisters, we must get through this difficult time together, just wait for His Highness to come back." ”

Li nodded happily, and the two of them sat down tacitly, even if there was no cave room, there was such a big embarrassment, if it was an ordinary family, I was afraid that I would hang myself angrily.

Wang fu

After Zixuan finished practicing the mental method, she practiced the arrow again.

Qi Qi came back and said: "The emperor sent the prince to appease the victims outside the city, and he will come back later, please ask the princess to eat by herself, and you don't have to wait for him to come back." ”

Zixuan was a little uneasy, dismissed the girl in the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "The prince was punished, and the emperor sent the prince to appease the victims at this time, isn't it too conspicuous and won't make people suspicious?" ”

Qi Qi said: "Don't worry, princess, the prince said that you don't have to worry, he is measured." ”

Zixuan was slightly stunned, pursed her lips and smiled: "He actually guessed that I was going to ask you, and prepared a message for you in advance to block me." ”

Qi Qi also smiled and said: "The prince is careful." ”

"That's it, that's it." Zixuan said: "Since he thinks so thoroughly, I am also relieved." ”

"Well, don't worry, the princess, her subordinates will retire."

"Wait." Zixuan handed him a small bottle of medicine and said: "This is the antidote pill, there are many people there, if someone can't bear it, take this, don't be afraid that someone will use poison." ”

Qi Qi nodded cautiously, carefully put the medicine bottle into his arms, and said, "My subordinates will protect the prince thoroughly."

Zixuan watched him leave and prayed for all safety.

Red Sleeves hurriedly returned to the house, and happened to have a face-to-face with Qi Qi, who went out of the house.

Seeing that she was a little anxious, Zixuan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Redsleeves whispered a few words in her ear.

It turned out to be my grandmother, I heard that yesterday the emperor was going to reward her for the second grade, but she was cut off by Zixuan, and after being angry all night, she fell ill.

Red sleeves said: "The whole Li Mansion is blaming you, what should we do?" ”

Zixuan frowned, and she didn't know which one was so fond of learning to talk and stir up trouble, but she felt that it was wrong, and said: "Grandmother, although she is greedy for life and money, she can't think about it like this!" ”

Red sleeves said: "Yes, this old lady's illness is too urgent. ”

Zixuan asked, "Did they invite Dr. Weng over?" ”

Red Sleeves shook his head, "It's not Doctor Weng, we should say in the Li Mansion that it's the first time she's seen that doctor." ”

That's a bit weird!

Zixuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since you have something to do with me, I should also go to the Li Mansion to have a look." “

At this time, Alain was ready for lunch, and shouted, "Princess, it's time to eat!" ”

She served three dishes and one soup, although the table was not as rich as before, and there were more vegetarians and less meat, because Zixuan had specially instructed that before the famine in the south passed, everything should be simple.

Alain's dishes are excellent, and they are very appetizing when they look at it.

Zixuan said: "Since the prince hasn't come back, let's eat and go again, don't waste food." ”

After that, she asked Alain and Red Sleeves to sit down and eat together, she couldn't eat so much alone.

Red Sleeves and Alain excused themselves for a while, but sat down and ate together, because it was not the first time that the princess had let them eat together, so they were more or less used to it.

After resting for a while after dinner, Zixuan left for Li's mansion.

Red Sleeves accompanied her, and she asked puzzledly: "Princess, the old lady's illness, after all, is because the emperor did not reward her, even if the Li family complains about you, they will never dare to bring this matter to the table, why should we go to this troubled water?" ”

Zixuan said: "This matter can be big or small, not to mention, my grandmother is sick, and I, as a granddaughter, should go to visit." ”

In fact, she was more confused in her heart, and she always felt that with her grandmother's love and happiness, she would not be so angry that she fell ill because she was not promoted for the time being.

When she arrived at the Li Mansion, Li Song saw her coming, and said angrily: "What are you doing, don't you think you are angry enough to make your grandmother!" ”

Zixuan saluted patiently and said, "Forget if others don't know, my father, as an important minister, doesn't he understand why I stopped the reward?" ”

Li Song glanced at her, snorted coldly, and stood with his back to her.

Wang added fuel and vinegar on the side and said: "What other reason can there be, if you marry out, you are already from another family, so naturally you can't see us well." ”

Zixuan ignored her, and only said to Li Song: "Father, the emperor has already given a lot of rewards because I have cured the prince, and after the queen's mother proposes, the emperor has the intention of rewarding the grandmother again." ”

"You are the first assistant and the first assistant, the official is the first product, Li Xinran and I are both married to the royal family, it is enough to attract people's attention, if you reward and reward again, so many dignitaries and dignitaries were present yesterday, don't you understand the truth of the tree?"

Li Song's brows were tightly locked, Zixuan's words were not unreasonable.

Seeing that he seemed to be persuaded, Wang knocked on the side and said: "Master, you know, the ancestor has always been eager to be promoted, but no matter how much he is rewarded, he is just a woman's family, and the impact is not great. ”

"Not much impact!" Zixuan said coldly: "Do you know that even the mother of Dingyuan Hou, who has outstanding military achievements, is only a second-grade order, what is your intention to make your father so clever and beautiful!" ”

These words were insignificant to the Wang family, and they only felt that Zixuan did not respect her, and they felt angry in their hearts.

But for Li Song, it was a heartbeat.

When he came back from the next court and learned the news of his mother's illness, he only felt angry and anxious, but he didn't expect to go up at this level.
