"Sister-in-law."

Chao Li frowned slightly and stopped, he didn't really want to talk to this person in his heart, but he still had to care about his face, so he could only turn around and respond.

"It turned out to be the third brother, what a coincidence, the third brother also returned home at this time."

Gu Zhou smiled gloomily, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for some time, but my sister-in-law is doing well, and now she looks more and more delicate, and her skin is better than snow." ”

Tsing Yi frowned, Gu Zhou shouldn't have said these words at all, and she said this to her sister-in-law in the mansion, she just wanted to open her mouth to reprimand, but was stopped by Chao Li's eyes.

"Let the third brother laugh, this time is indeed not bad, especially when there are no nasty things dangling in front of you. But today is not very good, presumably it will be a few days of nausea. Chaoli replied with a smile.

The smile on Gu Zhou's face remained unchanged, and of course he could hear the meaning of Chao Li's words.

However, it is also because of this that it is even more interesting.

"My sister-in-law has a good voice, I really envy my eldest brother for being able to marry such a good wife." Gu Zhou said again.

Chao Li was already a little impatient, "Does the third brother have anything else to say?" If not, I'll go back first, and the world is still waiting for me. ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward and prepared to leave.

Gu Zhou is not normal, she doesn't want to have too much contact with him, when she was in the cold courtyard in her previous life, she was still a little afraid of Gu Zhou.

Just as she was moving towards her footsteps, Gu Zhou stretched out his hand towards her.

"Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry, I still want to talk to my sister-in-law and say something interesting."

"Third son, please respect yourself!" Pei Yu clamped Gu Zhou's right hand.

Gu Zhou's face was slightly distorted, he originally wanted to touch Chaoli and feel if she was suitable for his collection.

Who knows, the maid next to her is so ignorant of lifting, and she also made a move on him, and he can't easily break free from it.

"You let me go!" Gu Zhou said angrily.

Chaoli chuckled, "Third brother, be careful, it's just my maid who stopped the third brother today, so I just let the third brother feel a little pain, and my memory will increase." If you meet the son of the world, I am afraid that the third brother's hand will have to be raised for some time, just like your second brother. ”

"Tut, my sister-in-law said this, I have some doubts that the second brother's injury is related to my sister-in-law." Gu Zhou smiled.

"The third brother must know that this sentence comes from the mouth, if there is no substantial evidence, don't wronged a good person." Chao Li retracted his gaze and looked at Pei Yu, "Pei Yu, let's go." ”

Chaoli means to let go of Gu Zhou, they are good to go back, they don't look good in the front yard.

Pei Yu naturally understood, she let go of Gu Zhou's hand and silently followed behind Chao Li, and her eyes did not look at Gu Zhou anymore.

The three of them crossed Gu Zhou and headed in the direction of Tingyu Pavilion.

Gu Zhou licked the back socket of his teeth against the tip of his tongue, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and then walked towards Gu Jiu's yard, it was time to go and see his good second brother.

Back in the courtyard, Pei Yu went to make food for Chao Li, and did not stay in the room.

As soon as Chao Li sat down, Tsing Yi couldn't hold back his temper and talked about Gu Zhou.

"Miss, this Hou Mansion is really indescribable, why are the descendants of the old Hou Ye like this? The old marquis is such a man, the three sons are all weak scholars, and the three grandsons are sick except for the sons. The second son is lustful, the third son is ruthless, and the old marquis is really unlucky. Tsing Yi's face was speechless.

Chaoli raised his hand and brought himself half a cup of tea, but did not drink it, but put it in the palm of his hand to play.

The tea was gently swayed in the cup, staining the walls of the cup with some water stains.

After a moment, she slowly spoke.

"What do you think of the status of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion?" Chaoli asked a question.

Tsing Yi tilted his head and thought about it, "The natural status of the Hou Mansion is transcendent, and with military power in his hands, he is the emperor's right-hand man. It's just Miss, what does this have to do with the young masters of the Hou Mansion? ”

Chaoli put down his teacup, got up and walked to the window, and his eyes fell on the two acacia trees opposite.

"Silly girl, the tree is very popular, let alone a family like the Hou Mansion that holds military power in its hands. You see that in the past, wherever the prince went, there were countless compliments, and even the princes would give him face. The problem lies in the line of the Hou Mansion, in the final analysis, it is also the emperor's usual trick, and it is the emperor's technique. Chaoli replied lightly.

It's just that her answer made Tsing Yi more and more incomprehensible, and she didn't understand what it meant.

"Miss, Tsing Yi still doesn't understand."

Seeing that Tsing Yi still didn't understand, Chao Li was a little interested in talking to Tsing Yi today.

"Actually, it's very simple, the old marquis has the military power in his hands, which is indeed respectful and terrifying. The first emperor was worried that he would be a master of high merit, and it would be inconvenient to take back the military power, so he was afraid that he would fall into the truth, so he could only focus on his descendants. If you want to say that the three sons of the old marquis will not be able to do anything, in fact, it is also promoted by the old marquis himself, and he is expressing his heartfelt heart to the emperor. In the entire Hou Mansion, only the old marquis is brave and good at fighting, so the emperor does not have to worry about the military power in the hands of the old marquis. ”

"Today, the saint has succeeded to the throne, and the three sons of the old marquis have already made up their minds, and there is no possibility of going to the battlefield. But there are different barbarians, and there are other countries eyeing each other, so the saint will push the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to the bright side again, and allow the prince to enter the military camp. My princess mother-in-law is actually a chess piece arranged by the saint today, and the imperial power is like this. Of course, this does not mean that the emperor and the queen mother's favor for Princess Dessau is fake, but the emperor's favor is somewhat mixed with some side. ”

Chao Li's words Tsing Yi heard the cold all over his body, where did he think that the Zhenbei Hou Mansion seemed simple, but in fact there were so many hidden dangers.

"It sounds like the prince is quite pitiful, then, does the queen mother really love the prince?"

Although Tsing Yi was afraid to hear this, he was still a little curious, so he asked such a question.

"Naturally, the Queen Mother's love for Princess Dessau and the prince is not fake, and only her feelings are the purest among the royal family. Today's queen mother is just an old man in the twilight of her life, and what she wants is no longer those glory and wealth, but family affection. "Towards the road.

Also, the Queen Mother is already the most noble woman, and she doesn't need to consolidate her position at all.

What's more, the Queen Mother had a poor relationship with her mother's family before she got married, so the Queen Mother never benefited her mother's family, and she was also the one who lost her mother's family.

Chao Li felt that she was a little similar to the Queen Mother in this regard.

The only difference is probably that not only will she not ask for benefits for her mother's family, but she will even attack the court.

In fact, Chaoli Fangcai didn't say this on a whim, but now it was different from her previous life, and she hoped that Tsing Yi would still understand the situation in Zhenbei Houfu, so that she could spend the remaining months safely.

"Miss, the imperial family is really complicated."
