On that day, Concubine Xi was counted down by Shen Ciwei, although Shen Ciwu did not beat and scolded her, but this move was more desperate than any punishment.

Two days later, news came from the previous dynasty that something had happened to Concubine Xi's mother's family.

Li Mobai found out about his father's corruption in the previous dynasty, and for an official of his magnitude, embezzling that little money is nothing at all.

But as long as he is greedy, he has violated the law of the land. Whether to clean him up and let him get the punishment he deserves, just look at Li Mobai's words.

For the emperor, what he is most afraid of is the courtiers who are highly meritorious.

Although the concubine's father is far from the point of Zhu Hongchuan in the past, he has gradually become disobedient.

After experiencing Zhu Hongchuan's rebellion, anyone who touches this red line is guilty of Li Mobai's taboo.

So he took Concubine Xi's mother's family by surprise, and all the officials in the family were dismissed and investigated, and even her mother's mansion was confiscated.

Overnight, Concubine Xi had no support inside and outside the palace.

Li Mobai may have felt that she was pitiful, so he lifted her grounding and asked Qiuxi to go back to serve her again.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation were rewarded to her compared to the concubine, but a proud person like her, after this incident, she was devastated.

She didn't go on weekdays, although Li Mobai lifted her grounding, but she herself refused to take a step out of the palace gate.

She felt ashamed, and she was afraid to hear the gossip of other concubines.

When I said goodbye on this day, everyone felt a lot of emotion when they talked about the Xi concubine.

She entered the palace as a concubine at the age of seventeen, and although she has not been favored for many years, she is also the most beautiful existence in the imperial city.

The battle between the open and the secret ended up with an empty ending, which is really embarrassing.

Shen Ci said worriedly: "Since you feel embarrassed, you should take her as a lesson, follow the rules in the future, and don't do anything boundary." Take a look, among all the concubines in this harem, who will set themselves on fire? ”

The concubines said in unison: "The concubines (concubines) and others must follow the teachings of the queen's mother. ”

Later, when they talked about other things, Concubine Hui said, "Have you heard?" The leader of Beidi died of illness, and the new leader was now no more than a seven-year-old doll. ”

Beidi was originally one of the overseas countries.

His national strength is even stronger than that of the Southern Barbarians, Xiliang and Shurong in the past.

But at the time of the first emperor, the eldest princess of Danyang of the Qi Dynasty was sent to Beidi and Qin, so as to quell the war between the two countries.

Over the years, Beidi has been autonomous, and because of the peace of the eldest princess of Danyang, the relationship with the Qi Dynasty has gradually eased.

Now the little leader of Beidi is the son of the eldest princess and the leader of Danyang.

Concubine Chen said: "That's a good thing." Nanban, Xiliang and Shurong have all been defeated by us, and now the leader of Beidi is the son of the eldest princess of Danyang, and he also has the blood of the Li family flowing in his body, is it not a family? This time, even the battle was omitted, and Beidi returned to the imperial court, but it was just a matter of a word from the eldest princess of Danyang. ”

"Besides, how can it be so easy?" Concubine Hui shook her head and sighed: "How did the eldest princess of Danyang marry Beidi that day, don't you know?" ”

"Her biological mother went early, and she was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother in the early years. Later, Beidi repeatedly came to make trouble and caused many incidents, but was it not the queen mother who was the first to propose to the first emperor to let the eldest princess of Danyang marry Beidi and her relatives to calm the war? ”

"What is a good place for you to be Beidi? The people who drank the blood of Ru Mao were barbarians. The eldest princess of Danyang has been pampered since she was a child, where can she endure such suffering? After hearing that he was forced to marry, he committed suicide three times in five years, but he was saved each time. ”

In the end, maybe he accepted his fate, or maybe he was moved by the leader of Beidi, but he was willing to stay there. But you see that every year when the Beidi Dynasty enters the palace, when did you see the eldest princess of Danyang come back to visit relatives? Even when the first emperor died, she did not come back, which shows that she has a grudge against the Qi Dynasty in her heart. ”

Concubine Chen disagreed, "No matter how much you hold a grudge, this is also her mother's home." The righteousness of the country, if a war can be settled by sacrificing a woman, how could the first emperor make a big move? ”

"The prince and the princess who were born in the imperial family are the same. The scenery that looks on the surface is all in exchange for the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. There is chaos in the world, the prince goes into battle in armor, the princess and the pro-fanbang, this is their fate. ”

Concubine Hui smiled helplessly, "Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that there are no children and no daughters sitting on lotus flowers." If there are no children, there will be no bonds, and there will be no need to think much about their future. ”

When the words came out, seeing Shen Ci's frowns slightly raised, Concubine Hui thought that her own words stimulated Shen Ciwu, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, the concubine didn't say what you meant, the concubine said the eldest princess of Danyang." Her biological mother's position is not high, but she became the eldest princess at the earliest time when she was born. Our princess Changning is the eldest princess, and there will be no day when she will be sent to kiss. ”

The reason why Shen Ci frowned was not because of what Concubine Hui said.

It was because she heard the words of the eldest princess of Danyang, and suddenly remembered something.

[Isn't this Danyang eldest princess the famous Beidi female devil in history? ] Her reputation in history is not much better than for nothing. After she took over Beidi, she implemented many changes, which made Beidi famous, starved and starved all over the wilderness, and indirectly affected the Qi Dynasty. 】

[Originally, in the seventh year of the Qi Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty also carried out a crusade against Beidi, but because of the original history, Nanman, Xiliang and Shurong were not subdued by the Qi Dynasty, so the four countries united together and dealt a heavy blow to the Qi Dynasty. 】

[Now history has changed, but Beidi is still there, and this eldest princess doesn't know what to do. 】

[Her resentment towards Qi Chao is too deep, and it is estimated that it is also a tricky matter. 】

She has such concerns, and the Queen Mother also has them.

And the Queen Mother also got a news, Beidi sent a message, saying that the eldest princess of Danyang would return to Qi for a pilgrimage in mid-February.

Li Mobai also learned the news and went to the Queen Mother as soon as possible.

When he was a child, he was raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, and he lived with the eldest princess of Danyang.

In my impression, the eldest princess of Danyang takes great care of him, and the relationship between the sister and brother has always been good.

If it weren't for the fact that she was finally sent to get married, then she would be the same as Li Jinyan in the Qi Dynasty now, and she would be taken care of by Li Mobai as her own sister.

"Has the queen mother heard the news that the eldest prince is going to return to the court?"

The Queen Mother held the Buddha beads in her hand, and after reciting the Buddha a few times, she bowed her head and said: "This is her mother's home, and she should come back." ”

Li Mobai: "Back then, I was afraid that she still hated the queen mother in her heart, so she refused to go back to the palace for so many years." Now that her son has become the leader of Beidi, she is about to enter the palace, and I am afraid that she is not a good person. ”

The Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Time is enough to change a person. She has been away from the palace for so long, and she is no longer the eldest sister who grew up with you. You are now the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, and you know how to deal with many things, so you don't need to say more about mourning. ”

She glanced at the Buddha statue in front of the Buddha shrine, silently recited the Buddha, and said: "It's just that no matter what the emperor wants to do, the mourning family only hopes that the emperor can protect her." After all, before the first emperor died, what he remembered the most and was most ashamed was his daughter, who married Beidi early on. ”
