After any concubine was beaten into the cold palace, she dared to let her son accompany her, shouldn't she let her son be more angry, please your father, and pull her in the future?

This concubine actually did the opposite.

Princess An Cheng couldn't figure it out.

Li Qingyi said: "What the princess said is one thing, but the princess thinks about it from another angle, Concubine Hui was beaten into the cold palace, the seventh prince has no biological mother to protect her, in this palace in crisis everywhere, I don't know if I can grow up safely, instead of letting him live in danger, it is better to follow Concubine Hui in the cold palace, at least to ensure his safety, plus the eleventh princess always thinks about their mother and son, the days of this cold palace may not be very difficult." In the coming day, when the Seven Princes grow up, it will be much easier to get out of the cold palace than it is to enter the cold palace now. ”

Princess An Cheng was stunned for a moment, "What if the seventh brother lives in the cold palace and is forgotten by his father and the emperor from then on, and his future is ruined?" ”

"If the Seven Princes are not angry, even outside the Cold Palace, they will be as clear as everyone else, besides, can Concubine Li's temperament teach the Seven Princes well?"

Princess An Cheng was persuaded, "That's ...... too"

Li Qingyi looked at Queen Wang, who was also a mother, obviously thinking of Concubine Hui's thoughts, but she refused to see Princess Eleven, obviously because she didn't want Concubine Hui to achieve her wish and leave trouble.

Li Qingyi said: "The difficult thing is how to get the emperor to agree to this. ”

Princess An Cheng said: "The last time the eleventh sister asked to see the queen mother, the queen mother did not agree, she looked for her father again, but the father did not see her, and today she came again, maybe she wanted the queen mother to let her see her father, the queen mother thinks, can she really persuade her father to agree to such an outrageous thing?" ”

Queen Wang's tone was long, "Unless she has something to fear." ”

Princess An Cheng was disdainful, "What? In the past, her father didn't give her the opportunity to be spoiled, but now it's good not to fall out of favor and not be disgusted. ”

Li Qingyi said on the side: "What if the eleventh princess can make any contribution to Dajing?" ”

Princess An Cheng was stunned, "She ......"

The Empress frowned slightly.

In the current situation between Dajing and Chongnan, even if the battle of Huangsha Pass is won, it cannot be treated as if nothing has happened.

Chongnan's actions are tantamount to slapping Dajing's face, how can he easily expose such a provocation?

This battle will definitely continue to be fought, unless Chongnan takes the initiative to give in and admit his cowardice and show sincerity to settle the matter, otherwise, the peace talks are a dream.

But will Chongnan do?

In the past, it may have been, but after the appearance of the female national teacher, Chongnan's national strength has increased at an incredible speed, from being inferior to Dajing, to being on a par with Dajing, and even faintly surpassing Dajing.

No one can say that this battle will be won.

However, if you can know the details of the Chongnan female national teacher......

Queen Wang pondered for a long time and muttered, "Maybe Concubine Hui heard about the Chongnan female national teacher from Mu Guifei's mouth?" She wants to exchange a message for a mother-son reunion? ”

Princess An Cheng's eyes lit up and looked at Li Qingyi.

Originally, they wanted to rebel against Helian Rong, but even if Helian Rong agreed, they couldn't tell whether what the other party said was true or false, if the eleventh princess also knew some news about the female national teacher of Chongnan, compared with the two, they could roughly know what was true and what was false.

Li Qingyi looked at Queen Wang.

Queen Wang is not a person who does not know the general situation, although she doesn't want Concubine Hui to succeed, but when it comes to state affairs, it is different.

Her eyes glanced outside the hall, and Su Rong immediately whispered on the side: "The eleventh princess has not left, and is still kneeling outside the hall. ”

Queen Wang said lightly: "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

She turned to look at Li Qingyi, "I heard that Qin Zeng is going back to Zhenbei Wangfu?" ”

Li Qingyi said with a smile: "I want to go back to Zhenbei Wangfu, I came today to explain this matter to the queen." ”

She told the queen mother what they were going to do.

The queen mother obviously knew what the old lady Gongsun did back then, and said when she heard the words: "Since you have made a decision, the palace naturally supports it, the Zhenbei Royal Mansion has not been taken care of for many years, and it really needs to be repaired by a good student, so the palace will send the craftsmen in the palace to you, and strive to renovate the Zhenbei Royal Mansion before your wedding." ”

Li Qingyi hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Queen Wang looked at her with a smile, "This little thing is not worth mentioning compared to the lives you saved in this palace and your niece." ”

A few more people said a few words about their parents, and Li Qingyi got up to leave.

An Cheng also came out with her.

The eleventh princess really did not leave, knelt straight outside the hall, experienced setbacks, and the pampered princess also learned to forbear. Seeing Li Qingyi come out, although his face was gloomy, he didn't say a word.

Li Qingyi glanced at her lightly and left Yikun Palace with Princess An Cheng.

Princess An Cheng said: "Helian Rong is now living in the post house, and he hasn't entered the palace for a few days, so he must be waiting for news from Chongnan." ”

Li Qingyi said: "Now that such a situation is unlikely, it is impossible to be friendly, he must also be planning for his future, it is better to let the people of the Ministry of Rites have more contact first." ”

Princess An Cheng nodded, "I hope things can go well, I really don't want a war." ”

Bidding farewell to Princess An Cheng and leaving the palace, Li Qingyi went straight back to the Li Mansion.

The wedding is imminent, and there is no need for her to go back to the Wei family, all the things left in the Wei Mansion Xiangyuan have been recovered yesterday.

As soon as I entered the mansion, a girl stepped forward, "Big girl, you're finally back!" The second lady is waiting for you in the main courtyard! ”

"Is there any news from the second uncle to send it back?"

"There is a letter sent back, but I don't know if it is the second master."

Li Qingyi didn't ask anymore, and strode to the main courtyard to find the second aunt.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw her second aunt holding a letter, and her expression was quite relaxed.

Li Qingyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Second aunt." ”

Ruan Shi saw her come in and hurriedly greeted: "Yi'er, your second uncle has sent a letter!" ”

Li Qingyi took the letter from her hand, read it roughly at a glance, and then read it carefully from beginning to end, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the battle in Huangsha Pass is quite smooth. ”

Ruan Shi frowned: "I just don't know if your second uncle can come back on the eve of your wedding." ”

Before the fall of the Mu family, Qin Zeng found an opportunity to confess his life experience to Li Yong, Li Qingyi was ready to be scolded for being bloody, but who knew that the second uncle knew that "fake marriage" was just an excuse, not only did he not get angry, but he was also greatly relieved.

The reason is simple.

Li Qingyi's various performances before all showed that she was not ordinary to Qin Zeng, Li Yong was afraid that his niece would really fall in love with a eunuch, so that he would go underground and have no face to see his brother in the future.

For Li Yong to have such a turnaround, it is even more gratifying for Li Yong than pie in the sky.

Now the only worry of the second uncle and aunt is that after Li Qingyi follows Qin Zeng back to the Zhenbei Palace, he will be tortured because of complicated personnel.

Li Qingyi said: "The second uncle followed Yongping Hou to Huangshaling, which is also an emergency measure, the first battle was won, and after the Mu family army was collected, the second uncle should return." ”

Ruan Shi nodded, and was about to talk to Li Qingyi about the Zhenbei Palace, when Changning suddenly came in and said, "Girl, the adult has sent a message." ”

Li Qingyi was a little surprised, "What's so urgent?" ”

"It is said that the old lady of the Zhenbei Wangfu will come to Beijing tomorrow."

"Coming to Beijing tomorrow?"

Li Qingyi and Ruan Shi glanced at each other.

Ruan said: "It seems that as soon as the news that Qin Zeng is the concubine of the king of Zhenbei spread, the old lady of Gongsun left. ”

The ancestral house of Zhenbei Wangfu is not far from Yangzhou, and it is only three or five days away from the capital. Old Madam Gongsun is old and should be slower, but she will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow, which shows that she is in a hurry.

Li Qingyi's eyes oozed coldness, this old lady of Gongsun ......

"She was afraid that Qin Zeng would take the lead."

Ruan Shi also frowned, "Qin Zeng's identity is undoubted, even if she comes, she can't stop it." ”

"Qin Zeng's recognition of his ancestors and returning to his ancestors is already a sure thing, so she is not here to stop this matter, on the contrary, she wants people to see that she is eager to see her grandson, and she has been thinking about her eldest grandson for so many years. On the other hand, Qin Zeng's indifference to the old lady of Gongsun is easy to be criticized. ”

"This ...... Isn't this a back-and-forth rake? ”

Li Qingyi nodded, she didn't expect that Old Madam Gongsun would come to sue the wicked first.

It's really old.

"That'...... You got married in the Zhenbei Palace......"

Li Qingyi said with a smile: "Second aunt, you forgot what I said, no matter what happens to the queen, in front of people, Mrs. Gongsun has to consider everything for her relatives and eldest grandson, not only will she not object, but she will also try her best to handle family affairs well, as an elder, she naturally grasps the initiative." ”

Ruan's face was not very good-looking, "She won't still have the intention of giving you a dismount or making you make rules, right?" ”

"Get off the horse and set up rules, you can deal with it, I'm afraid that someone will hide a knife in a smile and a honey-bellied sword. The old lady Gongsun and the princess of Zhenbei have a red face and a white face, and they have already set up the stage! ”

Speaking of Princess Zhenbei, Ruan's face was a little complicated, "I really don't want to believe that a person like her would be calculating and have the same heart as the old lady Gongsun." ”

"Whether it's a heart or not, let's see and see, we can always know."

Ruan Shi thought for a while, "Old Mrs. Gongsun returned to Beijing, as the future granddaughter-in-law, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, our Li family still has to hand over the prayer post, and the number of courtesies is full." ”

Li Qingyi nodded, "Although Qin Zeng has a knot in his heart for Old Madam Gongsun, he is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, since Old Madam Gongsun made a move first, he will definitely change his strategy, and when he sees someone, he will naturally arrange the next thing." ”

Ruan nodded: "Qin Zeng's handling of affairs is still reassuring." ”

*****

The summer sky is blue, and the sun is bright and trance.

On the outskirts of Beijing, a line of carriages and horses rolled forward, and occasionally heard the soft voice of a woman.

Gongsun Yi was riding on a horse, still not wearing a brocade robe, only wearing an ordinary plain white robe, his body swayed slightly with the horse, and his outline showed a blur and subtlety under the backlight.

It's time to meet again.

Eldest brother.
