Yang Yunxi frowned slightly: "Don't tell me, it's a side branch of the decline of the surname Li." ”

The Li family is a big family, and there are a lot of side branches. But no matter how much it declines, it will not be necessary to send his own girl to do such a practice, just to please the Hu family.

After all, if you really ask for help, you should also ask the Li family for help, but it is far more effective than currying favor with the Hu family. And the bigger the family, the more important it is to girls - no matter how concubines come out, these are resources that can be used for marriage.

Daughters have a place to go, a big family, and a big family is their destiny. And those concubines, even if they can't climb the high-ranking families, can be used to attract the children of the poor family and the rising stars, but they are very suitable.

Wang Shun shook his head: "How is this possible." ”

"Then what is the connection with the Li family?" Yang Yunxi's brows tightened a little, and his heart was full of wonder.

Seeing Yang Yunxi like this, Wang Shun didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, so he stopped and explained in a low voice: "The young lady in the past was good friends with a young lady of the Li family. ”

Friendships between women are sometimes extremely useful relationships. Yang Yunxi had already understood this point - so at this time, he was not very surprised by this reason.

After just a moment of silence, she asked Wang Shun again: "Which young lady is that, I don't know if I can find out?" ”

Wang Shun shook his head: "That maid also served the Hu family's pet concubine later, I only know that someone gave a box of jewelry to the Hu family's pet concubine a few days ago, and the Hu family's pet concubine only said that it was a gift from a friend, and did not say much." ”

The head of a box of jewelry, which is a little surprising. Even if these noble ladies can have such a big spend, I'm afraid that there will really not be much.

"Are you sure it's the girl from the Li family who sent the things?" Yang Yunxi was a little suspicious, so he asked again.

Wang Shun nodded: "That's right." There are several hairpin rings, all engraved with the same word. The maid described it, I went to the silver building that made the most jewelry for several major families and asked, it was the mark of the Li family. ”

This method is commonly used by large families, just like all objects in the palace have the mark of the palace. In order to make a distinction. After all, many things are treasures, unique in the world, and if they are lost, they can be recovered with this mark.

"It seems that the favorite concubine of the Hu family has done something for the Li family." The corners of Yang Yunxi's lips hooked, revealing an interesting smile, but his expression was slightly cold: "And I'm afraid that this thing has been done." Otherwise, the Li family would not have been so generous. ”

After a pause, she played with the taste again: "But the Li family is also strange." Why don't you give silver, but some jewelry hairpins? Could it be that he really donated a sum of money at the beginning and was completely poor? ”

Wang Shun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "How is this possible? The Li family has a big business, but I am afraid that no matter how much money there is, there will be no shortage of this bit of silver. ”

Yang Yunxi nodded, and then muttered carefully. After thinking about it carefully, her heart moved slightly, but she had an idea: "In this way, it is likely that the head of the Li family does not know, but some female relatives do it in private." So that's how it ended up being thank-you. Only jewelry, not silver. ”

The ladies were naturally happy when they saw the heads of the exquisite jewelry. And since she is the favorite concubine of the Hu family, Yinzi is afraid that she doesn't care so much. At least a small amount of silver doesn't matter.

"It would be nice to know who sent it to the Li family, or if it was to tell the Hu family's favorite concubine to do something." Yang Yunxi frowned and looked at the red hawthorn soup in the tea cup, took it and took a sip slowly, and savored the slightly sour but sweet taste, and finally sighed: "But that's it." But it can also be seen that the Li family is indeed related to the Hu family. It's just that he doesn't know, but the head of the Li family knows these things, and the queen mother in the palace knows whether she knows about it. ”

Yang Yunxi thought about it for a while, but he had an idea in his heart: "Wang Shun, you go with me to ask the Queen Mother and her old man to say goodbye." ”

Wang Shun hesitated a little: "After the last incident, I'm afraid that the queen mother hated the master to death, and the master went so rashly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." In case the Queen Mother ......"

Wang Shun didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was very obvious: if Empress Dowager Li took the opportunity to be unfavorable to Yang Yunxi, it would be uncertain.

Yang Yunxi shook his head: "She is reluctant." "Zhu Qi's life is in her hands, how can Empress Dowager Li give up her life in exchange for Zhu Qi's life?

When Wang Shun heard this, his heart suddenly became relieved. Indeed, Empress Dowager Li is absolutely reluctant.

In this way, Wang Shun accompanied Yang Yunxi to "say goodbye" to Empress Dowager Li.

However, Yang Yunxi didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li hadn't seen her yet, but she met another person first.

But it's Concubine Zeng. Concubine Zeng also seemed to have gone to see Empress Dowager Li, and when she met Yang Yunxi at this time, she was also surprised: "Concubine, you are here-"

"I haven't said hello to the Queen Mother for a long time, so I'm here to say hello to the Queen Mother. Why are you also here to greet the Queen Mother? Yang Yunxi looked at Concubine Zeng as if she had cleared up, and sighed slightly in her heart. Zhu Li's current situation, Concubine Zeng doesn't know. But Rao is like this, Concubine Zeng is already like this, if she knows the truth about Zhu Li, I am afraid that Concubine Zeng will not know how to worry.

Thinking of Zhu Li, Yang Yunxi's smile was a little reluctant. Afraid that Concubine Zeng would see the clues, she lowered her head and deliberately did not let Concubine Zeng see it.

Concubine Zeng smiled: "The Queen Mother is not happy, so she just asked me to come over and ask for peace." ”

Yang Yunxi frowned slightly: "How long has it been since the concubine came to say hello like this?" "Since I am not happy in my heart, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Li did not ask Concubine Zeng to come over to ask for peace, but specially called Concubine Zeng to come over to learn from her.

Concubine Zeng didn't care much: "Horizontal and vertical are just those means, what can they do to me?" The concubine doesn't have to worry about me, but the emperor's injuries are ...... What's going on? Is it getting better? ”

Yang Yunxi looked at Concubine Zeng like this, and actually understood what Concubine Zeng meant: I just didn't want to make trouble at this juncture.

"Why is the concubine like this?" Yang Yunxi sighed lightly: "You are like this, when the emperor knows about it, he wants to blame me for making me suffer too much." ”

Concubine Zeng smiled lightly, gentle and demure, with a bit of generosity: "What grievances are there that are not wronged?" It's just a minor annoyance. If the concubine thinks it's inappropriate, then I won't come tomorrow. ”

After a pause, Concubine Zeng asked about Zhu Li's injury again.

Yang Yunxi saw that the change of topic was unsuccessful, so he had to reply: "It's already getting better." ”
