Li Zunqiao usually likes to make friends with the world's wise men, and often feasts and sings at the house. Princess Wanshou never complained, and often helped Zhang Luo to drink and entertain guests.

The eldest princess of longevity serves her in-laws very carefully. Originally, the princess didn't have to serve her in-laws like a folk daughter-in-law when she got married, but on her father-in-law Li Jichang's birthday, the princess respectfully went to see her birthday with the gift of a daughter-in-law. When Zhenzong heard about this, he hurriedly ordered the inner government to secretly send leather clothes and treasures and a lot of money to help his sister celebrate Li Jichang's birthday.

This time, the birthday of the eldest princess is for the whole life, so Zhao Zhen ordered the inner government to organize it and celebrate it grandly. and issued an edict that on the birthday of the eldest princess of longevity, she was named the eldest princess of Wei.

Ye Pei entered the princess's mansion, read out the holy decree, handed over the gift to the official of the mansion, and the eldest princess of Wei personally took her into the living room.

The eldest princess was suffering from eye disease, she held Ye Pei with one hand, and was supported by the maid on the other side, walking slowly.

She rubbed Ye Pei's hand and said, "Since I saw you on that Changning Festival, it has been more than a year, and you have grown taller and beautiful again." ”

Ye Pei smiled: "The eldest princess smiled. Are you getting better? The official family has been thinking about you. ”

"I listened to you say that I wash my eyes with chrysanthemum water every day, and I really feel that my vision is much clearer. You go back and tell Xiao Liuzi that everything is fine with me, don't let him worry about it. ”

"The official family is just such an aunt as you, he doesn't care about who you worry about."

The two of them talked and laughed and walked into the hall, and the princess's mansion was brought out by the palace to know Zhang Jingzong, who was very eye-catching. When he saw that the guests were all together, he announced that the feast was open, and the stage in the courtyard began to sing.

The stage was singing "Magu Offering Birthday", Ye Pei felt bored and looked down the hall, only to see more than a dozen tables full of officials and noblewomen who came to pay their respects.

Now Ye Pei is a person on the cusp, except for the eldest princess of Wei Kingdom, no one comes to talk to her. Ye Pei was interested, so he only sat there silently and drank alone, occasionally looking at the guests in the hall.

After two plays, Ye Pei found a noble lady in the crowd who was as lonely as her.

The man was dignified and simple, not as rich and luxurious as the other ladies. She was dressed in fine cloth clothes, and there were no hairpin rings on her head, but a rhino horn comb was inserted behind her bun, and she was obviously also the wife of the official's family.

"Her husband should be a fourth-rank or fifth-grade official, right?"

Ye Pei thought in his heart, and couldn't help but look at this person carefully. She was in her forties, with thin eyebrows, fair skin, a kind face, and tenderness in her eyes.

"Why hasn't anyone talked to her yet?" Ye Pei pondered by himself.

Presumably, this noble lady also discovered Ye Pei, she also looked at Ye Pei for a while, and actually picked up the wine glass and walked slowly towards Ye Pei.

"The courtiers Li clan see the lord of Le'an!" Li Shi said to Ye Pei.

Ye Pei hurriedly stood up and saluted back, "This sister doesn't need to be polite, today is the birthday of the eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom, and we are all guests." I also toast my sister. With that, the two of them each drank a glass and sat down to talk.

Ye Pei asked, "Where is my sister's house?" ”

Li Shi smiled: "Women are often treated differently because of the size of their husband's official position, is the county lord also such a person?" ”

Ye Pei smiled, "My sister said that she was laughing, and I was curious to ask when I saw my sister drinking alone." I don't despise that kind of person. ”

"No, the county lord

Drinking alone here? The world is bustling and unmoved, so why force everyone to be the same as others? ”

"My sister said it wonderfully, I toast my sister!" Ye Pei raised his glass to the Li family again.

Li was generous and took another drink.

After a few glasses of wine, the two of them became even more enthusiastic.

Ye Pei said: "My sister's dress is simple and feminine, which is completely different from the recent extravagance of the national dynasty, but it is refreshing. ”

Li said: "The county lord praised it. My family officials often taught me that after looking at the former virtuous country and family, success is due to diligence and thrift, and failure is due to luxury. Although the dynasty was prosperous, it could not resist the erosion of extravagance. Those in power must be strict with themselves, and must not be corrupted and lose their heart for the country and the people. ”

Ye Pei exclaimed: "Your official must be a good official who worries about the country and the people. ”

Li smiled: "Let the county lord laugh, my family officials are dedicated to the people, but they are dull nerds, not worth mentioning." ”

Ye Pei was originally wary, afraid that some women would deliberately approach her and want to use her mouth to curry favor with her officials in front of the official family, but seeing that the Li family neither reported the name of his official nor said words to flatter, he trusted her even more.

The two chatted about two more current affairs, and Li looked at the banquet that had been vacant, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity to see that the guests have left the table, but there is still a lot of food left on the table!" I don't know how many victims can be fed with so many leftovers, alas, what a pity! ”

Ye Pei heard her say this, so he said: "Sister is really a good lady who worries about the country and the people. ”

"The county lord didn't know, I went to Waifu with the officials to take office, passing through Henan, Hebei and other places, and saw that the drought was serious, the locust plague was all over the sky, the grain of a hundred miles of fertile land was not harvested, and the people were starving all over the wilderness.

I saw that today's feast was rich, but all the officials and ladies did not think so, everyone was enthusiastic about gossip and had no intention of eating, and everyone left but most of the food on the table. The victims are starving there, but we are wasting food like this, it is really a terrible thing, how can you not lament! ”

Ye Pei said in surprise: "There is such a thing? ”

Li took out a dried weed and said, "The county lord knows that the people are hungry with grass mustard, isn't it pitiful?" ”

Ye Pei took the weed and frowned.

Li Yingying bowed down and said: "The county lord is the person next to the official family, if you see the official family can personally present their feelings, tens of thousands of people will be grateful to you!" ”

Ye Pei helped the Li family up, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely return to the official's house in this matter." ”

Li said with a smile: "The county lord is righteous, I know that the county lord will definitely agree." ”

Ye Pei also said with a smile: "Other people's ladies are all buying for their own officials, but what my sister is thinking about is national affairs. ”

"My family officials often say: I don't want to be promoted to be rich or rich, but I want to be worthy of my heart."

"I'm getting more and more curious, which official of my sister's family is the official of the frontier."

Li said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity to meet naturally, fate can't be forced." ”

"Haha, listening to my sister's words is better than reading for ten years."

The two cherished each other even more, and said some common things, and Ye Pei was ready to leave.

At this time, the song ended, and there were few guests left in the hall.

The eldest princess of Wei invited Ye Pei to enter the story, and when she saw that the Li family was also on the side, she said, "Mrs. Fan is also here?" Then come and sit down with my old woman. ”

Ye Pei and Li went into the inner room together and accompanied

The eldest princess sat down.

The princess of the Great Governor of Wei took Ye Pei's hand and said, "Le'an, something has happened recently, and it has caused a lot of uproar in the court, and I have heard about it."

I'm old, and I don't want to take care of many things, but I can't watch our Great Song Dynasty decline because of this, and some things have to persuade you. You are still young, and there is still a long way to go, you have to understand things. ”

Ye Pei looked at the eldest princess of Wei steadily, feeling both aggrieved and sad, is this his own fault?

"We women must abide by the three obedience and four virtues, those feelings and loves, when you are old, you will understand, it is not important. It is easy to be resentful when you are deeply affectionate, and you must choose the kind of respectful person who chooses a husband, and it is good for a woman to live this life plainly.

Now that the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian has passed away, you have reached the age when you should surrender. In the future, if you marry your in-laws, you must serve your in-laws well, you can't lose your manners, and you can't play with royal temper. We women, no matter how noble our status is, we have to get married, and we can't stay in the palace for a lifetime.

I don't listen to those rumors, I just want you to remember that you must focus on the overall situation, and you must not get involved in the affairs of the court, and you can't ruin the court because of us women. If the official family has a dislike with the minister because of you, you will blame yourself the most. Don't talk about others, even I have to say that yours is not.

It is not easy for our dynasty to have today's peace, at that time I repeatedly advised Zhang Xian to return the government to the official family, but she did not listen, thinking that women could be in power for a lifetime. But according to me, how can a woman be an emperor?

Isn't Wu Zetian the same person in history? We women are still husbands and children, and abiding by women's morals is the right way. Mrs. Fan, you are from the past, do you think I am right? ”

Li nodded frequently, but Ye Pei's eyes slowly turned red.

She was not convinced by these words, why can't women do great things like men? Ye Pei was unconvinced, but he couldn't say it. Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that Zhao Zhen has a dislike with the prime minister of the capital because of her.

Is that really your fault? Is it so hard to marry someone you like? I have always been proud of myself and put the dynasty first, why did the dynasty overthrow itself in the end?

Ye Pei felt so aggrieved. I'm not a bewitching queen who charms the monarch and sow discord, why don't those courtiers let me go? What the hell am I doing wrong?

Seeing that Ye Pei was silent, Li also persuaded: "The county lord is smart and knows the most. She must have understood the eldest princess's painstaking efforts. ”

Ye Pei had to nod: "Please rest assured, eldest princess, Le'an has already understood." ”

The eldest princess of Wei nodded and said, "Good boy, you are the most sensible, I hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible, and it will not affect the reputation of the official family and the political affairs of the dynasty." ”

Ye Pei hid her face and went to the toilet, she hid in no one and wiped away her tears silently before coming out again. Why should a woman be self-sacrificing? Why can't a woman have love? Ye Pei didn't know how to be wronged and bitter.

When he came back, he happened to meet Fan Zhongyan on the garden verandah.

Fan Zhongyan originally came to Hezhong Mansion to take office, because the locust plague was serious, and he could not get the approval of the official family, so he went back to Beijing directly to present his feelings to the official family in person.

Today's birthday of the eldest princess of Wei, his wife is familiar with the eldest princess, and she also received an invitation to congratulate. Fan Zhongyan didn't like the banquet, and when the banquet was over, he came into the house from the back door to salute the princess, and took the lady back by the way.
