The old lady also understood that if Zhenbei Palace wanted to regain its strength, it must pick up some relationships again or develop some new connections.
She glanced at Li Qingyi without leaving any trace, and her previous distasteful mood disappeared for a minute and a half.
Because of Bibo Tower, everyone started talking about various things they had seen in the capital before. Among the Gongsun Nan sisters, only the eldest girl, Gongsun Qing, stayed in the capital for a few years when she was young. The rest were born in their hometown.
Gongsun Tian and Gongsun Nan, together with several concubines, were listening to the adults talking with open ears, and they were filled with infinite curiosity about the capital. I wish I could explore the capital with just one ear. While listening, Bai Bai asked Li Qingyi, chatting and laughing in a friendly manner throughout the room.
The second and third parties all want to be friends with Li Qingyi, and Li Qingyi also wants to win people's hearts, so naturally they are compatible with each other.
Sitting aside, Princess Zhenbei looked at everyone's attitude towards Li Qingyi, smiling as usual, but with a trace of doubt hidden in her eyes.
Why is Li Qingyi's behavior so different from what his master said? Was there really something wrong with the centipede in the bridal chamber?
Or was he noticed?
As long as Li Qingyi is not dead, the things the master will explain later will not be able to proceed.
Otherwise, encourage those Wei family members...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be slightly distracted. When she came back to her senses, she found that everyone was looking at her.
Lin showed a rare hint of embarrassment and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Yuan Shi smiled and said, "Why is the princess so lost in thought? I just thought... the old lady hasn't left the house even once since she returned to Beijing. I'm afraid she's too bored. Why don't we make an itinerary today?"
Princess Zhenbei returns to Beijing every year, but the second and third bedrooms have not set foot in the capital for many years. Not to mention Gongsun Nan and the others, she also wants to go out and have a look, but as a daughter-in-law, she cannot think about what is what. , it depends on the mother-in-law’s wishes, and the old lady must be put in front.
Mrs. Lin glanced at the old lady and saw that she did not object. It was obvious that the "communication" mentioned by Li Qingyi had an effect. She quickly put on a friendly face and discussed the charter with everyone.
Li Qingyi picked up the tea cup and sipped it carefully, with a smile on his lips.
It seems that the princess is not invulnerable. As long as she finds the right method, she can always find flaws.
After the topic of going out came to an end, the old lady asked Hong, "I wonder if Sister Qing is feeling better? We were in a hurry to return to Beijing and didn't take care of her."
Hearing the old lady mention Gongsun Qing, Hong's face darkened a bit, "When I went to see her before, she was much better, at least much better than before."
Li Qingyi heard the two talking and noticed the word "return to Beijing" in the old lady's mouth.
The fact that she is returning to Beijing instead of coming to the capital shows that the old lady has been worried about what happened to Zhenbei Palace for so many years, and hopes that one day the palace can regain its strength.
Of course, it is not difficult to guess that she placed her hopes on Gongsun Yi.
She thought for a while and asked, "What? My eldest sister is not in good health?"
Before Hong could answer, Gongsun Nan said straightforwardly, "No, my eldest sister was fine before she got married. The illnesses she has now are all caused by those bad things in the He family."
Mrs. Yuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw her daughter talking too much, and gave her a dirty look.
Gongsun Nan was dissatisfied, "Am I wrong? My eldest sister's illness was caused by this. My brother-in-law favored a concubine who was from a humble background, and he doted on her to no end. This led to a lot of right and wrong, and he didn't complain at all. Eldest sister! When their old lady celebrated her birthday and the eldest sister was ill, the concubine actually came out to entertain the guests and even called her "grandma. What kind of grandmother is she?" I also heard the girl next to her saying to the princess, "Our grandma is waiting for you." Princess, you dare to slap us in the face in front of our family! You don’t even know how to bully the eldest sister behind your back!"
Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this. The old lady frowned and looked at Princess Zhenbei, "Is this the case?"
Princess Zhenbei glanced at Gongsun Nan and said, "There is such a thing. I was afraid that I would make the old lady angry if I told it, so I hid it."
The old lady was obviously very dissatisfied with her answer, "Huh, our palace was in a bit of a state of decline before, but it's not like the He family can
Bullying is easy! "
Hong endured it, but tears still flowed down uncontrollably. She quickly turned her face to wipe her tears. Gongsun Tian advised: "Mom, eldest sister is not someone who wants to be aggressive. After you get over this, you should recover from your illness first." That’s easy to say.”
When Li Qingyi saw that the old lady was dissatisfied with the princess, his eyes moved and asked, "What do you think of this matter, eldest sister?"
Gongsun Tian replied: "The eldest sister said that she has nothing to miss about that family. If the He family was willing to let her go, she would have wanted to divorce!"
"The He family doesn't want to let him go?"
Yuan said on the side: "Why are you willing to let her go so easily? It was because of the palace's family wealth and Sister Qing's dowry. Now that the palace has cleared her name, and seeing her come back to life, they will not let Sister Qing go. !」
Li Qingyi looked at the old lady and saw that her face was clouded, and she was obviously very angry. However, her granddaughter was in someone else's hands, so her parents couldn't easily knock on the door, otherwise there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't do anything to Gongsun Qing behind her back.
Li Qingyi wanted to "rob someone" from Princess Zhenbei, so she naturally wanted to give the Hong family a good idea. She thought about it and said, "My eldest sister is so far away from us. If anything happens, we won't be able to reach her. It's better to bring her to the capital in the name of medical treatment. If the He family doesn't agree, let them come together. We are not afraid that they won't come. We are just going to stay in a small house. There is nothing we can do to put this person under our noses. convenient."
Hong was stunned for a moment, and Yuan immediately clapped her hands and applauded, "This is a good idea!"
Li Qingyi's "it's convenient to do whatever he wants" covers countless possibilities.
If the He family is unkind, you can't blame them for being unjust, right?
The old lady also showed a look of excitement.
If something happens in her hometown, it will definitely damage Sister Qing's reputation. It will be different if the He family comes to the capital.
Yuan said: "The He family is full of snobbish people, how can they not bite the hook as long as they lay a bait?"
Hong looked at everyone with excitement, then stood up and knelt down towards the old lady, followed closely by Gongsun Tian.
The old lady looked at Li Qingyi and was silent for a long time before finally waving to the Hong mother and daughter, "You guys, get up."
Seeing her promise, Hong and Gongsun Tian smiled at each other, and then both cast grateful glances at Li Qingyi.
In this family dinner, the old lady is a graceful and generous mother-in-law, the Princess of Zhenbei is a kind and virtuous daughter-in-law, the Hong family and the Yuan family are capable sisters-in-law, and the juniors are all harmonious and easy to get along with. Everything is perfect. There was nothing strange at all, the undercurrent in the palace was turbulent, as if it was just an illusion and did not exist at all.
