The emperor followed Li Kui's advice and rewarded Qingtang Tusi with the same value, but it was only a little more valuable than the gift offered by Tusi.

This made the imperial concubine Liu Qingjing a little surprised, before the emperor opened his mouth to greatly reward Qingtang Tusi, but he didn't expect Li Kui to have such a high status in the emperor's mind. Can the emperor obey Li Kui's words?

She knew that Zhao Xu looked like a wooden person, but in fact, her personality was stubborn. How difficult is it to get Zhao Xu to give up his ideas?

When Liu Qingjing found out that Li Kui could have such an influence on the emperor, her heart suddenly warmed up. She wants to go home to help her fifth sister prepare for the wedding. It is best to win over Li Kui as soon as possible, so as to become her bargaining chip after the seal.

The concubine is provincial.

In the Taishi Mansion, there was a burst of chickens and dogs.

Eunuchs, palace maids, and the people of the Imperial City Division came to hula, and hundreds of people came.

Don't look at the emperor's status higher than the concubine, but the emperor doesn't have such pomp when he travels. Liu Qingjing sat in the middle of the main hall with great luxury, and the relatives of the mansion came up one after another to salute.

"Reward!"

"A pair of pearl flowers!"

"Reward!"

"Reward a piece of white jade."

"Reward!"

"Two horses of silk and satin."

Imperial Concubine Liu Qingjing looked at the family members of the Taishi Mansion boredly, she just wondered, when her family was in Yizhou, there were not so many relatives? Why did it pop up so much at once? It's like a mouse punching a hole, all of them have come out, and it's not lively to drag the family, the key is that there are only a few people she can name.

And Nizi with a slingshot pinned to her waist, which wild child of any family, who are they! Pull it all home.

I finally went through all the relatives with names and surnames in the Taishi Mansion, and looked at the sun, it was almost noon.

From the virtuous concubine to the noble concubine, although it is a level up in the rank, but in the palace, the noble concubine is able to be half of the hostess, but the virtuous concubine is not.

Even so, Liu Qingjing was still not satisfied, her goal was the queen, not the concubine.

It's a pity that although the emperor obeyed him in the harem, if he really faced such a major event as the abolition of the queen, the emperor obviously patted his chest in front of her and said categorically, but in a blink of an eye, it still dragged on......

But Liu Qingjing couldn't wait, she was angry when she saw Queen Meng pretending to be pitiful in the palace. Why did she become a queen, but she could only be a concubine?

They were all female officials who entered the palace together, and the emperor also favored her even more, but let Empress Meng become the queen on her head, and she couldn't bear to say anything. The key is that Liu Qingjing also knows that the emperor clearly does not like Empress Meng, this is the queen set by the Empress Dowager Gao back then, not his mind. But this displeasure is more about the young man's dissatisfaction with his grandmother than his dissatisfaction with Empress Meng. In particular, they have a daughter...... Is this an attitude of dislike?

asked the emperor, Zhao Xu said nonsense with a shy face, and opened his mouth to say: "Just once, who knows that she is pregnant!" ”

What kind of body do you have and no points?

Zhao Xu and Liu Qingjing tossed for so long, and they didn't see Liu Qingjing's stomach move. Conceived once, what about the ghost? Liu Qingjing gritted her back molars and was secretly annoyed, she knew that the emperor liked gentle, such as Meng Shi, who looked like a bully. This hoof hooked up with the emperor and didn't know how much he ate secretly. Especially the emperor, thinking about it makes her heart stop.

Big pig's trotters!

It's like your own cow, plowing the land at your neighbor's house, and the big cow's leg is thrown up, and you can't wait to exhaust yourself to death. When he returned to his home, he pretended to be honest. Thinking of these, Liu Qingjing couldn't do it.

She looked left and right for a while, and found that her father, Mrs. Liu, had not come back yet.

Although this day is a big court meeting, can Liu Qingjing not know what her father's status is in the court?

Auspicious sign!

It's a middle-aged and elderly uncle who looks very comfortable.

It stands to reason that after the court, her father should also come back. It is not easy for Liu Qingjing to return to the Taishi Mansion once, and she still came with a purpose, not really to save relatives. The situation in the palace is becoming more and more unclear, and Zhao Xu, a big pig's trotter, did not promise to let her become the queen as soon as possible, which made her anxious and angry, but she couldn't show this anxiety yet. wants to subdue the emperor by beauty, Liu Qingjing has no bottom in her heart. After all, the emperor is very fraternal, and at the same time, the most important thing in the palace is beauty. Although she is a beautiful country, she can't stand the emperor being greedy, and from time to time she steals food and eats two bites when she is not paying attention.

If you can't rely on the palace, you can only rely on the outside home.

And the head of the family, that is, the second brother-in-law, is a bit prestigious, but in the capital, this prestige is nothing. Especially those who know the roots, they all know that the credit of the second brother of the Cheng family is all won by Li Kui for him, and if he really wants Lao Cheng to lead the troops to fight, he can not only pit himself, but also bring the lives of the soldiers under his command to the pit.

Lao Cheng's first time in battle, he did not go to Jinmingzhai, but outside Yuncheng, he led 500 officers and soldiers to be beaten by a lone thief Gongsun Sheng.

Although the thief was later arrested, he also became Cheng Erge's staff. What can be said can't cover up Lao Cheng, but he is just a fake outsider.

As for the eldest brother-in-law Qin Wenguang, he is not as good as the second brother-in-law.

Third brother-in-law...... Forget it, it's worse than the eldest brother-in-law, and his personal hobby is iron.

With such a family, even smart people like Liu Qingjing can't help but lament, if this family is not dilapidated, it can't be justified.

But Taishi Liu Baosheng is a blessed person, and Li Kui's birth has made Liu Baosheng as stable as Mount Tai in the court now.

Li Kui, the key lies in Li Kui.

Liu Qingjing often heard words praising Li Kui from Zhao Xu's mouth, his ability is superb, and he is loyal. At least Li Kui is a courtier who is sincere to Zhao Xu, otherwise he would not risk a lot of involvement and change Zhao Xu's biological mother from a concubine to the queen mother. Although there are two queen mothers, Zhao Xu doesn't care.

At least, it didn't work for him to talk to the Queen Mother in the future.

After all, Empress Dowager Xiang is his imperial grandmother's follower and the last hope of conservatives.

At one point, Zhao Xu wanted to abolish all conservative forces and expel all the ministers from the court. But now that he looked at it, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

The reformers also have selfish intentions, and they are no less than the conservatives. At the same time, the urgency of the change was no longer so obvious to him. Abolishing Empress Meng, that is, extinguishing all the hopes of the conservatives, is not in the interests of the current emperor. Because the strength of the law-changing faction expanded too quickly, Zhao Xu also had to consider balance.

Conservatives should use it, but not reuse it.

The reformers should be reused, but they must not lead the emperor by the nose.

At the same time, he also wants to develop his own strength and gather some of the centrists.

And Li Kui is the most decent person that Zhao Xu can get his hands on now. At the same time, Li Kui is also extremely capable, and he only went to the northwest for two years to solve the biggest problem in the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty. After the Western Army freed up its hands, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty also became abundant.

In today's situation, it is no longer in the interests of Emperor Zhao Xu to continue to target conservatives. After the abolition, it is undoubtedly the biggest blow to the conservatives, and it will inevitably cause fierce resistance. When the time comes, the situation that has been created with great difficulty will change again. Zhao Xu was also panicked. What if it's out of control?

Therefore, Zhao Xu chose to procrastinate. hummed and chirped to agree, but there was no move to straighten Liu Qingjing. But Liu Qingjing didn't know this, she simply thought that Zhao Xu had changed her mind.

At the same time, she also has to add chips to herself, and this chip is also Li Kui.

Li Kui became her brother-in-law one day earlier, and she could suppress Empress Meng one day earlier and find an opportunity to abolish it.

At the same time, Liu Qingjing's biggest worry is not these, but Queen Meng's belly. In case Empress Meng was secretly eaten by Zhao Xu again, she was lucky to conceive again and gave birth to a son...... Then the matter is definitely a big deal. Empress Meng will definitely not be abolished during her pregnancy, which is something that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will oppose.

In case the eldest son of the emperor is born, then the result will be fatal to Liu Qingjing.

Therefore, Liu Qingjing couldn't wait, she wanted to use the opportunity to help her sister Liu Qingqian prepare for the wedding, draw Li Kui to her side, and support her to become the master of the harem.

And the major event of marrying a daughter, even if Liu Qingjing is the imperial concubine, she can't overstep her responsibilities and make decisions for Liu Baosheng.

must be the head of his father's family, and Liu Baosheng, who has not been seen for a long time, makes the concubine Liu Qingjing and others a little anxious, and has to ask the mother next to him, Mrs. Han: "Mother, why didn't Daddy come home?" ”

Speaking of Liu Baosheng, Mrs. Han's face was full of anger: "Does he still have this home in his eyes?" Daughter, daughter's business doesn't matter; At home, I don't ask about things at home. He knew that he was happy outside, but now it's good, he doesn't even want a home, daughter, what kind of sin have I created! Having given birth to five daughters for him, is he still not satisfied? ”

Liu Qingjing is very difficult to answer, the key is that all five of them are daughters.

But she didn't believe that other daughters' fathers would ignore her, she was the imperial concubine, and her father sold Zhuangzi and raised money to get through the relationship, but it was all for her! It didn't make sense, he went home to save his relatives, but his father avoided it.

"Mother, don't be angry, Daddy is just coming back late, home is still home."

"Your dad is gone, and he was hooked up with by a vixen."

When Liu Qingjing heard this, she immediately felt that there was a big problem, and asked softly: "Has my mother heard someone chewing the root of her tongue?" ”

"You gave birth to a seed of evil, and your father became a treasure. I don't know if it's the Liu family's species. No, treat this as an inn and live for a day as if there is a big grievance. ”

"The Liu family has a queen, isn't this a happy event? Why didn't my mother take my father's outer chamber home to live, so that outsiders would not say something unpleasant? ”

Mrs. Han glanced at her daughter, she was now a resentful woman, a resentful woman who had taken her husband away from home. She still kept her mouth shut, and said angrily: "I can't wait to drown them in the thatched house, take them home to live, and watch them every day You love me strongly, I have to be angry to death." I want to live a few more years. ”

"But mother, my daughter came to the house today for the marriage of the fifth sister. If Daddy doesn't come forward, how can this marriage be negotiated. Liu Qingjing was in a hurry, she was not the kind of person who gave up easily.

If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up.

This is the way to make a living in the palace.

Speaking of Li Kui, Mrs. Han was also angry, and scolded angrily: "Your fifth brother-in-law is not a good thing, the old man just didn't agree to your fifth sister's marriage, just a mountain boy, and he is not worthy of our family at all." But now that the raw rice is cooked and cooked, the dowry has been received, and the eight-character post has also been exchanged, and it is impossible to regret it. ”

"Why is that?" Liu Qingjing was greatly surprised, she didn't expect Li Kui to be so inferior and unlikable in her mother's mind. But she knew that although Mrs. Han's personality was not easy to get along with, she was good to several sons-in-law. The eldest son-in-law has no ability, the second is a reckless character, and the third is even more unproductive, and Mrs. Han has not shown any dislike.

But Li Kui is the only one who has not yet married, but it has caused Mrs. Han to be so dissatisfied. This made Liu Qingjing very puzzled, could it be a contest between the military generals and the Wenchen courts? Or did Li Kui have a snub heart for the Liu family after he became a jinshi? If it is the latter, even if Li Kui's credit is world-renowned, she can't give up.

The corners of Mrs. Han's eyes twitched high, as if she was talking about an enemy, and she spoke: "At the beginning, your father had already given up the idea of giving birth to a son, but Li Kui gave something bad, he had to give your father a tiger whip wine, this thing was ...... eaten."

Phew-

Mrs. Han is also a domineering woman who has enjoyed the medicinal effects of this wine, and she immediately blushed and took a sip. At the beginning, Mrs. Han liked Li Kui very much, and the wine she gave was good! After Liu Baosheng ate it, the medicinal effects were spent on Mrs. Han. Liu Baosheng was happy, and Mrs. Han was beautiful. It's a pity that Liu Baosheng soon gave up the idea of cultivating his own land and went to raise a house outside. But the initiator was definitely Li Kui who gave something that his father-in-law shouldn't have sent.

At the same time, Mrs. Han was also very dissatisfied with Li Kui's character, and before she became a son-in-law, she gave away such an immodest thing, and she could get it in the future? Thinking of this, Mrs. Han complained: "I thought that this black boy, although he didn't look good, was also looking forward to being a kind mountain baby." But who would have thought that Li Kui was not a person who lived in peace. No, I haven't married your fifth sister yet, but I have a concubine in Yan'an Mansion, is this what a serious person should do? It's just a horny embryo, a shameless scoundrel. ”

This incident made Liu Qingjing empathize, and Emperor Zhao Xu was also a lustful person.

Her dad was also a man.

And then her brother-in-law, who had high hopes, was still a lustful one.

Bad luck at home!

Concubine Liu Qingjing's face also became gloomy with her mother, Mrs. Han, and she muttered: "Could it be that all the good men in the world are dead?" ”

Mrs. Han didn't want to speak, but her expression was desperate, as if the woman she hadn't seen for a long time had told the truth, and she was heartbroken to death. looked at the eunuch Ma Baowu beside the concubine Liu Qingjing, but Liu Qingjing heard that Ma Baowu also married a wife and took a concubine, and even the eunuch couldn't be relied on these years, can this man be saved?

Concubine Liu Qingjing immediately asked, "Mother, how do you know?" ”

"Your second brother-in-law brought people back from Yan'an Mansion, and they were originally going to be sent to the Li family. But I know that the Li family doesn't even have a hostess. When this woman went, didn't my daughter become the master of the house? Simply let your second brother-in-law bring people to the house, and when they get married, they will be sent over together to create evil! ”

Mrs. Han was full of congestion, she couldn't understand, what was she trying to do? Looking at people who have no ability makes people angry, finally the old Liu family found a capable son-in-law, but they were angry with her all day long.

Concubine Liu Qingjing was curious: "Has my mother ever seen it?" ”

"Ugh." Mrs. Han clutched her chest and was angry: "At the beginning, your father thought that your fifth sister was afraid that she would be alone and unable to hold back Li Kui's heart, and the good guy recognized a goddaughter." This is not to support the family, wait for your fifth sister to get married and send it together. I didn't expect Li Kui to find food to eat by himself, and he also found a fox spirit ......"

In the face of the chatter, but they are all the biological mothers of the car, the concubine Liu Qingjing also felt that there was no result if she continued to ask, so she was simply at home, and she would see it first.

So he ordered Ma Baowu to ask for someone.

The first time the concubine Liu Qingjing saw Nie Cuicui, she was a white lady with affection, and she suddenly complained for her fifth sister: "This Li Kui is not worry-free!" ”

Fortunately, the noble concubine Liu Qingjing is a noble person after all, and she is more than wrong to shock a folk woman. asked about the acquaintance of Li Kui and Nie Cuicui, his eyes fell on Nie Cuicui's stomach, and he said to himself: "It shouldn't be! ”

There is no movement, Li Kui is tall and big, is it the same as the emperor, is it useless?

After asking, Nie Cuicui replied shyly, she didn't dare to shake her wit, Mrs. Taishi, the imperial concubine looked at her with fierce eyes, and asked her why she had been serving Li Kui for almost a year, but her stomach did not move. If someone else had asked about this kind of boudoir secret, she would have turned her face a long time ago, but she couldn't afford to offend the two people in front of her.

Without speaking, the creamy complexion on her face began to turn red, and she drooped her eyelids and talked about her service to Li Kui.

They are all women, they are all experienced women, Mrs. Han listened to it frequently, her face flushed, and her eyes lit up.

And what about the concubine Liu Qingjing?

It's almost the same as her mother, especially a clever mouth, which is open and never closed.

On the contrary, it was Liu Qingqian and Zhang Zhenniang, drooping their heads, ashamed of themselves, eager to get into the ground, they haven't passed the door yet, why should they listen to this kind of thing?

"Madam, concubine Niangniang, the master is back!"

When Liu Baosheng came to the hall, he was stunned, looking at the wife and daughter at home, all of them seemed to be drunk, and he was puzzled in his heart: something is wrong! There is a case!
