Chapter 119: East Palace
When Li Xiang returned to the house at the next morning, Li Taiwei remembered Li Wenxiu's affairs, so she went to Yunshuiju in person, but she didn't think that she would pounce.
Seeing that she was running in a hurry, a layer of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose, so she hurriedly asked someone to fetch water to come in, and personally twisted a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"Your father has gone to Qiutang Courtyard, is Ah Luan in a hurry?"
Showa asked Mrs. Li to sit down, and asked Mama Jin to bring the soufflé up.
Mrs. Li didn't have much appetite, twisted a piece on her fingertips, and asked Showa:
"I heard that the second uncle broke his foot, and asked my father to go over and see it in person, but the injury was not light?"
Showa frowned for a moment and said:
"The foot injury should not be tightened, just come back and rest for a few days......"
"But ......"
Showa glanced at Mama Jin, and Mama Jin understood and sent the maid who was waiting in the house down.
Seeing that Showa was so cautious, Mrs. Li knew that the second uncle's matter today was not simple, so she put the soufflé on the plate and leaned over to Showa's side.
Showa held a fan in his hand, blocked his side face, lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Li:
"But your second uncle's face is hurt...... I'm afraid it's too eye-catching, and most of the time I have to rest for half a month......"
Still have a wound on your face?
Mrs. Li was slightly surprised:
"Didn't the second uncle ask someone to beat him?"
Showa lowered his eyelids and sighed.
"It would be nice to see who made the move......
"What did Mother say about that?"
Mrs. Li thought for a moment, and then said,
"But because of the Bai family's affairs, His Majesty was demoted to an official position, and the second uncle was bullied?"
Showa didn't respond, but his eyes looked at Li Taiwei very determined.
"It is said that when inspecting the autumn ritual vessels this morning, someone deliberately tripped over it, and the corner of his eye hit the pillar and broke the skin, and it was swollen."
"I heard that my ankle was also sprained and swollen and couldn't move, but your father personally took him back to the house, and Rui Ge'er went to the yamen for him to take leave...... I didn't dare to alarm your grandmother. ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, her expression was a little gloomy.
Jingzhao Mansion granted the Holy Will, and convicted the Bai family of conspiring with his younger brother to seize the title of the Li family. Li Sheng is the head of the civil officials, and Showa's status is so special, Li Qin has suffered a lot of cold treatment since he was demoted two levels in a row and punished for one year. The days in the Ministry of Rites became more and more difficult.
Not only Li Qin, but even Li Rui was struggling in the military department, and he was often looked down upon, and he never regained the glory of the Li family's eldest son.
Speaking of which, it's really all a sin created by the Bai family!
"Does my mother have a grudge against my second uncle?"
Mrs. Li poked her fingertips on the shortbread and raised her eyes to ask Showa.
Showa shook the hand of the fan, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and said:
"Your second uncle is a loyal, how could I be angry with him because of the Bai family's viciousness?"
Mrs. Li smiled bitterly, thinking that the second uncle begged her grandmother to enter the house for the Bai coffin that day, and said helplessly:
"Second uncle, he...... I'm afraid I'm too loyal......"
"Since the death of the Bai family, Li Yao is only afraid that he will also complain about us here...... Mother's body is getting heavier and heavier, so we still need to be cautious in the future......"
Showa also heard that Li Yao was slapped by Li Rui yesterday, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"What? Sister Yao is embarrassed for you? ”
Mrs. Li shook her head slightly and said:
"Mother is relieved, she just has that kind of thought, and she doesn't have that ability yet!"
"The second room is in trouble right now, the lobby brother and sister-in-law are good, although the second cousin is uncertain, but he is also reasonable, only Li Yao ......"
Showa's gaze sank:
"We don't have a place to live in his second room, if Sister Yao is really a bad person, you don't have to scruple...... Our Li family's house rules are not decorations! ”
Mrs. Li bowed slightly, ate a few bites of pastries and didn't move, because the bruises on her back were not yet complete, she got up and lay down on the soft couch for a while.
Showa asked someone to cut the autumn moon pear and put it on the small table beside Li Taiwei, and sat down next to Li Taiwei in person, held her hand, and asked softly:
"I heard your father...... You have a fancy for Lu Shizi of the Marquis of Changping? Still passing books with him? ”
Mrs. Li took a crisp bite of the pear, almost choked when she heard the words, and coughed several times in a row.
But this was what she said nonsense to cover up for Lu Xiao that day, and she couldn't deny it in front of Showa, and her face was a little strange for a while.
"What? What else can not be said with mothers? ”
Showa only thought she was shy, tapped the tip of Mrs. Li's nose, and said with a smile:
"Our Ah Luan has finally opened up...... It's a good thing that my daughter's family has a sweetheart! ”
"Although this Lu Shizi did not have a good reputation in the past, I heard your father say that he has grown a lot since he came back from the army! This time, the prince saved the driver, but he was praised by His Majesty! It is said that the tiger father has no dog, and it will not be too bad to come to this Lu Shizi......"
"Speaking of which...... Lu Shizi and you don't know each other......"
Mrs. Li was a little surprised:
"Mother actually thinks Lu Xiao is good?"
She vaguely remembered that on the day she fought with Lu Xiao, her mother carried the Fengming sword......
Showa looked at Li Taiwei with a smile in his eyes:
"I heard your father say that Lu Shizi personally saved you on the day you were injured...... He is the captain of Jinwuwei, and he should escort the prince back to the palace to restore his life. But he went to risk for you......"
"Ah Luan...... Look, he has you in his heart! ”
"Otherwise, which son can take his mother's surname? He also personally promised your father that he would sit on the post of commander of Jin Wuwei within a year, and that you would not be wronged......"
"To tell the truth, A-Niang and your father are reluctant to marry you into the palace, let alone marry back to Xiliang...... Power, fame, our Li family is not lacking, A-Niang only hopes that you will marry a wishful man who can love you as much as your life......"
In her previous life, Showa passed away early, and no one had ever spoken to her like this, and even her grandmother and aunt were all looking forward to her getting married......
But what if you get married?
Guarding the court, a handful of green silk is replaced with frost, and the cold is still his own heart after all......
"A-Niang,"
Li Taiwei leaned into Showa's arms, and Weng said:
"A-Niang...... What if I marry the wrong one? What if he treats me badly? ”
Showa smiled and stroked the top of her black hair, and her eyes were bright:
"It's a big deal, let's go to Your Majesty to ask for an explanation! In terms of reasoning, Lu Hou is not your father's opponent, in terms of martial arts, our family still has the Fengming Sword given by the first emperor......"
After listening to this, Mrs. Li also had a smile in her eyes, her aunt is really a woman from Xiliangqi!
"Madam, the queen mother sent someone......"
Mama Jin pushed the door in, her face was a little tight, and she said to Showa:
"It's Mama Yu who came, and gave a pair of purple gold bracelets with dragon and phoenix Chengxiang......"
Showa was a little stunned:
"Didn't the queen just ask someone to send a reward a few days ago? Why did you give the bracelet again? ”
Mrs. Li's eyebrows jumped, and the dragon and phoenix purple gold bracelet ...... This is a treasure that has always been passed down only to the crown princess of the East Palace!
Is the queen going to take action in person to test the meaning of the Li family?
