Chapter 006: Aunt
When I woke up from a nap, it was already time to hold the lamp.
Huichun came in with an oil lamp, plucked the wick, and put on a gold silk flower cover, and the room was soft and bright.
Nian Xia waited for Li Taiwei to freshen up, and poured her tea.
Mianzhou's best green smoke tea is clear and sweet in the mouth.
Every year when the Queen Mother gets this tribute, she has to pack a box and send it to the Li family, which is the only one in the imperial family!
Mrs. Li squinted slightly, took a shallow sip of tea, and only felt that the whole body was very comfortable.
After a while, Huichun took ice and came in, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and gave Li Taiwei a light dress.
In August, although there is still a bit of heat, it is autumn. Li Taiwei only felt a cold and stinging pain on her face, and couldn't help but turn her head to avoid Huichun's hand.
"The county lord bears with me, and the slave will give you a little more dressing, otherwise it won't be able to get rid of the swelling tomorrow."
Huichun put the handkerchief on it again and persuaded:
"Tomorrow, the second lady should also go back to the house, if the second son sees the county lord like this, maybe he will laugh at you!"
"How dare he!"
Mrs. Li hissed slightly, but finally did not hide again.
Mrs. Li gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son, Li Qiangang, and the weak crown went to the battlefield with the army and died young.
The second daughter, Li Shu, married Wang Minghuai of Fenyang as a concubine, lived in Pingzhou for a long time, and had a son and a daughter with the King of Fenyang.
The third son is Li Taiwei's father Li Sheng, who later inherited the marquis and became the current Marquis of Zhongyong, and also served as the prime minister.
Today's second master, Li Qin, is actually not born by her grandmother, but was born and raised in the outer room of Mrs. Li.
Back then, Mrs. Li carried Mrs. Li behind her back, raised a concubine outside in private, and gave birth to a son, who was only one year older than Mrs. Li's father.
When the child was ten years old, the concubine died of illness, and Mrs. Li took the initiative to bring the outer room into the Hou Mansion to be raised.
Mrs. Li made a big fuss when she found out, but after all, she had no choice but to endure and bring the child up.
But back then, the second master had already passed through personnel, and he was separated from Mrs. Li by one floor, although he was obedient and filial, he was not close.
Later, the second master got married and married the concubine Bai of Yongping Bofu. Before the marriage, the old lady took the lead in passing the second master to the long house, occupying the status of the sister-in-law, and the face of the second master.
The second master has been more filial to Mrs. Li since then.
Since the second lady Bai married in, she has successively added two sons and one daughter to the Li family. The Bai family is strict with the discipline of their children, which is very close to Mrs. Li's wishes.
The second aunt Bai has a modest temperament, and she is from a scholarly family, she has always respected Mrs. Li, and she can't find fault with her proper service, and Mrs. Li loves the second room more and more.
In comparison, her mother, Princess Showa, is not so blue-eyed by Mrs. Li.
Back then, Showa and the Great Zhou were originally scheduled, but the king of Xiliang died unexpectedly.
Showa was able to marry after three years of filial piety to his father, and finally married into the Li family, but he couldn't get pregnant for a long time.
I ate a lot of recipes before and after, and it wasn't until the third year after marriage that I got Li Taiwei. When I was in labor, I encountered a blood collapse and narrowly picked up a life, and since then the stomach has never moved.
Showa is the youngest daughter of King Xiliang and the only little princess of Xiliang, who has been held in the palm of his hand by King Xiliang since she was a child. Xiliang doesn't have so many rules and etiquette, and Showa has always been reckless and straightforward, and since he married in, he has not worried about Mrs. Li.
Although the second room is more favored, it is friendly and friendly with their long room.
The lobby brother Li Rui just got married last month and married Zhao Mengjing, the concubine of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, and is now serving in the Ministry of War, in charge of documents.
The fourth cousin, Li Yao, is one year old and has a well-behaved personality, like the Bai family, which is very pleasing to Mrs. Li.
Only the second cousin Li Pu, who is the same age as Mrs. Li, is only half a month older than her, and he is a monkey! Mrs. Li, who is often annoyed, gritted her teeth slightly!
"Why are you serving? What about Mother Tian? I haven't seen her when I returned home today. ”
Mrs. Li was slightly sleepy, and she spoke a little arrogantly.
Tian's mother is Mrs. Li's nursing mother, who has taken care of her daily life since she was a child and is in charge of her house.
Hearing this, Huichun's fingertips paused for a moment, Fang wanted to open his mouth, and then turned his face to look at Nian Xia again.
Nian Xia was folding the silk quilt, turned around and listened to Mrs. Li's question, glanced at Huichun and said:
"Mother Tian went to the eldest aunt and grandmother, but I didn't know that the county lord would be able to return to the house today, and I thought it would be there in two days."
In her previous life, Li Taiwei was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she deliberately came back with her feet, but she didn't remember why Tian's mother went to her aunt.
Mrs. Li held the teacup slightly, raised her eyelids, and asked:
"What are you going to do in Fenyang Palace? Is there something wrong with my aunt? Isn't it usually the old lady who goes with her grandmother's grandmother in front of her! ”
After speaking, Nian Xia was silent, looking a little embarrassed, as if he was thinking about how to say it to her.
Mrs. Li pondered for a moment, remembered something, frowned, and said:
"Isn't it the king of Fenyang who is raising a concubine again?"
Nian Xia was taken aback, but Huichun blurted out:
"Who said it wasn't, this is the sixth room!"
"Eiharu!"
Nian Xia raised his voice and shouted, and Huichun was so frightened that he lowered his head and covered his mouth.
The county lord has not yet come out of the cabinet, and Mama Jin has told her a thousand times about this, and she must not mention it in front of the girls.
"Okay, Mother Tian is a person in my house, you don't have to hide it from me, the old lady doesn't know about this?"
Mrs. Li blew the floating leaves in the tea bowl and took a small bite.
Nian Xia eased his face and said:
"It was Mama Li, who was next to the princess, who secretly asked someone to deliver a letter, saying that as soon as the person entered the door, the princess fell ill, and she didn't dare to let the old lady know."
"Madame is not worried, Mama Jin is a little older, and she can't stand the rush, so she asked Mother Tian to go to Pingzhou, looking for an opportunity to comfort the princess."
What is the use of light relief?
Mrs. Li's face sank.
Her uncle, King Fenyang, is a person who can't support the wall, and although he occupies the royal position, he is only a distant cousin of the saint.
Speaking of which, he was born in Jiangmen, and he didn't earn a few fame, but he is good at coveting women! He was also on an errand in the capital, but later he ran an errand and asked the emperor to take a spare job to Pingzhou.
Since her aunt got married, King Fenyang accepted two side concubines in the second year, and later carried several beautiful concubines one after another, which were raised outside the concubine room, and they couldn't be counted on one hand.
Her aunt's life didn't go well!
I heard that the king of Fenyang got a beauty out of nowhere, and he made it difficult for her aunt with her favor, and almost forced her aunt to commit suicide!
If it weren't for her mother, Princess Showa, who was eight months pregnant, carrying the Fengming Sword given by the emperor, she would have single-handedly broken into the Fenyang Palace, but I am afraid that now her aunt's grave grass is so tall!
It is also because of this reason that the eldest aunt treats her mother very kindly, and the Fenyang Royal Mansion and her Zhongyong Marquis Mansion have since become married, except for sending some gifts to the old lady during the New Year's holidays, there is not much contact.
This time, the mother came to make trouble, and it was for the sake of marrying a concubine!
Mrs. Li squinted slightly.
Thinking of her previous life, with her power, as long as she stretched out a finger, she could twist a bastard like King Fenyang to death, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.
Fortunately, in her previous life, her eldest sister-in-law, King Fenyang, couldn't toss for long, she died of illness before she became the princess of the country, I heard that it was called wine and hollowed out, and finally died in an aunt's bed!
Gee......
Li Taiwei feels a pity when she thinks about it now.
If he could die later, it would not be enough for the Fengming Sword in her hand to still be a virgin sword.
"The county lord is relieved, my aunt and grandmother have survived all these years, and now I just wait for the young master to become a relative and take the title, so I can live a more comfortable life."
Nian Xia looked at Mrs. Li's face was not very good, and comforted her.
mentioned her eldest cousin Mingcheng, Li Taiwei's heart sank.
