Hearing Li Qingyi ask about Mrs. Gongsun, Qin Zeng's expression turned indifferent, "If I want to return to Zhenbei Palace, who can stop me."
Gongsun Jingzhi is his father, Xiao Lanyu is his mother, and he is the legitimate eldest son of Zhenbei Palace.
Even though Mrs. Gongsun was his grandmother, she had no position to stop him.
What's more, the elders of the Gongsun clan wish that Qin Zeng was from the Gongsun family.
He looked at Li Qingyi and said, "The title of Crown Prince of Zhenbei Palace is dispensable to me, but whether to give it or not, and whether to give it or not, should be my decision and no one else can calculate it."
Of course Li Qingyi understood what Qin Zeng meant. I can give you my things, but you can't steal them.
She said: "If you want to go back to Zhenbei Palace, I am willing to accompany you back."
Qin Zeng looked at her with some surprise, "My grandmother hates me very much because of my mother. She won't have a good attitude towards you, and she may make things difficult for you. If you go back, I'm afraid you won't have a comfortable life. What are you going to do back?"
Li Qingyi smiled and replied in his own words: "I have the final say whether my life is comfortable or not. If Mrs. Gongsun has the ability, come and try to mess with me."
She had no favorable impression at all of Mrs. Gongsun who ignored Qin Zeng's life and death.
What's more, she suspected that her death in the previous life was related to the people from Zhenbei Palace.
In her previous life, she married Qin Zeng five years later. Wei Shicheng had been skinned and cramped by her, and the Wei family had collapsed long ago, so there must be someone else who harmed her. As for whether it was someone from Zhenbei Palace, go back and find out. , is the most convenient choice.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Qin Zeng smiled and said: "It's rare that you are interested, so I will do as you say."
"Then, should we go back after we get married, or..."
Li Qingyi was a little hesitant about this question.
After eradicating the Mu family in his previous life, Qin Zeng regained his integrity. The emperor granted him the title of Marquis of Xinting, so naturally they got married in the Xintinghou Mansion.
However, an inexplicable female Imperial Preceptor appeared in this life. Qin Zeng felt that it would be cheaper to use the identity of Dongchang Admiral to do things, so he did not announce that she was not a eunuch. Naturally, there was no way to make him a marquis.
Therefore, when they get married, they will either stay in the Qin Mansion or return to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
Although the Gongsun family left the capital and returned to their old residence after King Zhenbei was executed, Prince Zhenbei's mansion also had an old residence in the capital. Princess Zhenbei would go north to the capital every year and return to the old residence to pay homage to her late husband.
"Since I have decided to recognize my ancestor and return to the clan, I naturally want to return to Zhenbei Palace. I am the eldest grandson of Zhenbei Palace, and you are the legitimate eldest grandson-in-law. There is no room for carelessness in this matter."
What he meant was that since he returned, he would not mention the position of the heir apparent for the time being, but the matter of the direct eldest son should not be left in the past.
Li Qingyi nodded, "I listen to you."
"There is still half a month before the wedding. The Zhenbei Palace has been uninhabited for a long time and needs to be repaired and taken care of. I have to worry about you. If you are short of manpower, you can borrow someone from the Queen."
Li Qingyi smiled.
The Li family is a wealthy family, and the factory guard in Dongchang is also very efficient, so how can she be short of manpower.
Qin Zeng wanted to return to Zhenbei Palace in a high-profile manner, so he wanted to annoy Mrs. Gongsun.
But Mrs. Gongsun is an elder after all. If she wants to rebuild the Zhenbei Palace, she needs the consent of the elders. They are not going to compromise with Mrs. Gongsun, so they have to use the empress's momentum to overwhelm others.
Li Qingyi did not think that Qin Zeng's behavior was childish. On the contrary, she hoped that she could have the opportunity to help him untie the knot formed in his heart by his childhood experiences.
What's the harm in just accompanying him to cause trouble in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
"Don't worry, I know."
After seeing Qin Zeng off, Li Qingyi told the girls, "You all go and do your own business first. I want to stay by myself for a while."
"Yes, girl."
Li Qingyi sat in front of the case, picked up his pen and started writing and drawing randomly.
Qin Zeng has to worry about Huangshaling's affairs, so she only needs to focus on the things in front of her.
The first thing is that the wedding is just around the corner.
Li Qingyi cannot let himself make the same mistake again, and must take precautions in advance without knowing the murderer.
Many things in this life are different from those in her previous life. She is still not sure of the murderer's motives, and she doesn't know if the murderer will take action on their wedding day. She needs to be prepared for emergencies.
The second thing is that Qin Zeng wants to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan.
Mrs. Gongsun of Zhenbei Palace regards him as a thorn in his side. Although she will not express her inner thoughts because of Qin Zeng's current power, she can't say anything behind her back. She only needs to write the word "elder" on her face. It is equivalent to standing on the moral high ground.
Li Qingyi had to think of a countermeasure in advance and what kind of attitude he should have to face Mrs. Gongsun and other people in the Zhenbei Palace so that he could help Qin Zeng untie his knot and not be bullied by Mrs. Gongsun, so that he could live his life happily. To live a more comfortable life, we also need to test out whether Mrs. Gongsun has any intention of putting them to death.
The third item is Wei Shicheng.
In her previous life, Li Qingyi only knew that he had hired a murderer, causing her father to be injured and half-disabled. However, in this life, she learned more details about that year from her mother and second uncle, and found that although her father was depressed, there was no sign of suicide, and there was doubt that he committed suicide by swallowing gold. It is very possible that Zhong Zhong was murdered. The murderer is not yet known, and it is impossible to determine whether it was Wei Shicheng.
In addition, the ultimate goal of Wei Shicheng in his previous life was to climb to the position of chief minister of the cabinet and become the prime minister at the pinnacle of power. Li Qingyi did not realize who he was loyal to or what other purposes he had.
But in the next life, everything seems to be more complicated.
Wei Shicheng seemed to be following someone.
Li Qingyi didn't know whether it was because he was negligent in his previous life and didn't notice this, or whether it was an extra change in this life.
Just like the weird Chongnan female Imperial Preceptor, her appearance and Li Qingyi's own rebirth jointly accelerated the decline of the Mu family. In addition, there were some unknown changes in the dark that Li Qingyi didn't know about.
The unknown is scary.
Fortunately, Qin Zeng is still Qin Zeng, and he is still the person who is as stable as Mount Tai and can be relied on with confidence.
In addition, Wei Shicheng has already entered the cabinet as he wished. She must not let him go any further. She must find out his details before she becomes the chief minister of the cabinet. Who would a person as conceited as him be willing to work for?
Li Qingyi lived in the Wei family for more than half a year. His second wife, Mrs. Lin, died. Wei Shiyuan was of a romantic nature. Apart from following in the footsteps of his eldest brother Wei Shicheng, he could not cause much trouble. The third wife, Wei Shiqian, became a living dead, Wei Laner lost a leg, and Guo was burned and left scars all over her body. The mother and daughter were busy planning for their future, trying to get a life from Mrs. Wei. Be fair and get more benefits.
Mrs. Wei suffered a huge blow when her youngest son became a living dead. She became seriously ill and her body was not as good as before.
Wei Jin'er has safely married into the Wang family, and Princess Yuanheng has no worries for the time being, but she cannot escape the control of the Wei family, and it is difficult to escape easily.
In addition, Li Qingyi was causing trouble in the Wei family. Wei Shicheng didn't necessarily know about it, but he turned a blind eye to it. He was almost indifferent to the life and death of the Wei family. Will this happen?
In addition to Li Qingyi's own affairs, what she currently needs to pay attention to is the mysterious Chongnan female Imperial Preceptor.
The other side asked envoys to come to establish diplomatic relations, but took advantage of the fall of the Mu family and betrayed the alliance with Mu Rencheng. Two hundred thousand troops pressed on the border in an attempt to capture Huangsha Pass, and conquered the twelve cities behind Huangsha Pass in one go. As long as the emperor is prepared and well-arranged, the other party's strategy will most likely fail.
Can this diplomatic relationship continue?
The fifth prince of Chongnan may have wanted to die.
Queen Chongnan had no right to speak for a long time, otherwise her legitimate son would not have been thrown out by the female Imperial Master as a cover-up. Therefore, he is not even qualified to be a proton, and Chongnan will not buy it at all.
It would be great if Princess An Cheng could instigate a rebellion against the fifth prince of Chongnan and convince him to help Dajing eradicate the female imperial master of Chongnan and achieve a win-win situation.
But the difficulty is that neither of them can completely trust the other.
Li Qingyi stayed alone in the room all afternoon, finally sorting out everything in front of him. After dinner, Qin Zeng sent someone over to inform him that he had sent someone to pick up the elders of the Gongsun family and come to the capital for discussion. The matter of recognizing ancestors.
Qin Zeng was supposed to go back, but will Qin Zeng go back?
With his current status, the clan elders still dare to work for him?
Moreover, if Qin Zeng returns to his ancestral home, he must visit his grandmother, Mrs. Gongsun. There is a big gap between being active and passive.
As the saying goes, it's not the business that matters.
Qin Zeng is determined.
He asked people to pick up the clan elders to go to Beijing. Before the clan elders came, they would definitely go to Mrs. Gongsun to explain the matter. No matter whether Mrs. Gongsun wanted to or not, there was no room for objection.
As for whether she would take the initiative to go to Beijing or wait for Qin Zeng to go and see her, it was not within Qin Zeng's consideration at all.
Because it is impossible for Qin Zeng to go back to his old house and invite her in a pleasant manner.
However, Li Qingyi felt that the all-rounded Princess Zhenbei would try her best to find a way for Mrs. Gongsun to get off the stairs and smooth things over.
Li Qingyi was really curious when he thought of the Princess of Zhenbei.
Princess Zhenbei's words and deeds are not like those of a daughter raised from a small family. She even has far more knowledge than some ladies from famous families.
According to Qin Zeng, Mrs. Gongsun sent the current Princess Zhenbei to death row in order to give her son a future wife.
The daughter of a powerful family would definitely not run away to become a widow, but it was impossible for just anyone to leave a heir to the Gongsun family.
First of all, you must have a clean family background. Otherwise, if a child is born with a biological mother who cannot be seen in the spotlight, not only will your identity and reputation be greatly compromised, it will even affect your future career as an official, which will undoubtedly ruin your future. What else does Mrs. Gongsun have? Do I need to leave this behind?
Therefore, Princess Zhenbei must have a clean family background and a good education.
But if that's the case, how could she agree to such a thing? Who is she?
Li Qingyi had thought about this issue before, but at that time she didn't know that Qin Zeng was the legitimate son of the King of Zhenbei, so she didn't delve into it further.
It's different now. When she marries Qin Zeng, the people she will face most directly are Princess Zhenbei and Mrs. Gongsun. She must know herself and her enemy.
"Changlan!"
Li Qingyi shouted, and Chang Lan immediately stepped in, "Miss, what are your orders?"
"I have something to ask you to do..."
