Ji Jun took a step back and protected Ji Min behind him. His eyes were like the cold winter that was entering quickly. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with ice. Suddenly, the cold air swept towards the extremely shocked Wang family and said coldly,
"Madam! You may not have thought that sending ten letters of recommendation from the imperial wives to seek marriage would offend the Holy Emperor. However, you asked me to seek help from these ten ladies because you wanted to humiliate me, right? These ten ladies are all the only ones. The Concubine Xian and you are on the same page, if you two open your mouth, why do you need me to come to the door one by one?"
"That shows our sincerity!" Wang argued, still feeling a little guilty in her words.
Ji Jun sneered,
"What a sincere intention! Madam, do you want to state your dirty thoughts in such a grand way? Let me tell you about your wishful thinking. Once one or more people don't help me, you will have every excuse to refuse. Me. If by chance I get the support of ten ladies, you will kick the ball to the Holy One again! Naturally, I will not be able to meet the Holy One because of this matter. By then, everyone in the capital will laugh at me for being shameless and self-conscious. In order to marry into the Duke of Li State's palace, I have to show my face and beg for help in vain. You said, I have such a reputation, let alone the Duke of Li State, even ordinary people will look down on me, and my reputation will be ruined. You can achieve your goal, right?”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Wang regained her composure and argued angrily.
"I've done well for you and Mi'er with my good intentions, but you're just ungrateful. You think of me so badly. I really misjudged you! You've also let down Concubine Xian's hard work! You're really ungrateful! Mi How could I fall in love with such a vulgar woman like you!"
Ji Jun's expression suddenly turned cold, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then sarcasm slipped away, and he smiled slightly,
"Madam, it's his business that your son likes me. If you're not satisfied, just discipline your son! Instead of embarrassing me again and again! Framing me again and again! You might as well put this thought into Maybe it's not too late to put it on your son. If one day I get interested and take your son to elope, then don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"Presumptuous! Don't talk nonsense! Who is our eldest son, how can he elope with you? Why are you so shameless!" Aunt Lu scolded.
Ji Jun looked at the sudden change in Wang's expression, and suddenly felt a lot less angry in his heart, and became more relaxed and happy.
In consideration of Li Mi before, my words were more tactful and it was not easy to contradict him directly. Now that the words have been said for this purpose, there is no need to pretend.
Ji Jun didn't care about Grandma Lu's anger and said with a confident smile,
"Since you won't elope with me, what are you shouting in such a hurry? Who are you trying to scare? It doesn't matter if you say we can elope, so why are you shouting? Eh? Is it true that you, the eldest son, would rather have the Duke's palace? Even if the prince doesn’t do it, he still wants to wander around the world with me?”
Grandma Lu's face turned red, and just when she was about to retort, Ji Jun looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile, and the old god said,
"Madam, for my sake, the eldest son can specifically ask the Holy One not to talk about marriage for three years. Three years later, Li Tan also returned from his studies, just in time to inherit his father and brother's legacy. The two of us went to Li Jiajun to find my uncle, and we went together Fighting side by side on the front line, earning fame and achievements, receiving rewards from the court, gaining both fame and fortune! No more weighty than the recommendations of your ten imperial wives!"
Ji Jun's words made Wang feel uneasy. She knew that Li Mi would not run away with Ji Jun without knowing the importance of it.
However, Li Mi did want to hand over the Duke's mansion to Li Tan and let him go to the front line.
If it is true as Ji Jun said, if the two of them go to the front line again, wouldn't Ji Kui be even more powerful?
If Ji Kui assists Mi'er and takes over the Li family's army, what will happen to Concubine Xian and the Thirteenth Prince?
Concubine Xian said that the emperor was afraid of the Li family army and always wanted to take back the military power.
Wang also hesitated.
"My father-in-law and your son are military generals. If they don't lead troops to fight and defend the family and country, how can they just sit back and enjoy the success? If they are useless, how long can they be stable in the court relying on their past military exploits? Isn't it true that they are sitting on nothing?"
Concubine Jiao Xian patiently explained,
"Sister, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Generals die in hundreds of battles, and strong men return after ten years. The wealth and splendor of the Duke's palace hangs on the tip of your sword. The soldiers who go on the expedition are either shrouded in horse leather, or their families cannot be reunited. Such military power What does it mean to you, the mistress of the Duke’s mansion?”
Wang fell into deep thought. Half a year after she and Li Gao got married, Li Gao went to the front line.
In the days that followed, as Concubine Jiao Xian said, there was less gathering and more separation. Although in the circle of ladies in the capital, she was admired.
However, in private, Wang was very disappointed when she saw husbands singing and wives accompanying each other in other people's houses.
In particular, some people deliberately showed off in front of her that they were in love with their husband day and night, and mocked her for being a "widow" and an empty-handed "Mrs. Prince"!
I remember that year, the wife of Fan Miaohou, Mrs. Yu, had been at odds with the Wang family since childhood. When she saw her, she smiled insinuatingly,
"I recently took a concubine for my husband. Although my husband is just a prince, not as prominent as the Duke of the country, and there are already seven aunts in the house, but the prince likes beauties and has found a concubine for him. Just come! After all, I am a concubine. No matter how many concubines there are, my husband will still be deeply in love with me! There will be a few days in every month to accompany me in my room."
People around me laughed and laughed without any embarrassment.
The back house of Duke Li's mansion is clean and famous in Beijing.
However, when Mr. Yu said this, he suddenly seemed to be in ruins.
And the glory that Wang was so proud of immediately lost its luster!
Wang could not wait to step forward and tear these people's mouths apart!
"Why didn't the Holy One directly issue an order for the father-in-law and the prince to return to the court? The father-in-law will not resist the order and be disrespectful." Mrs. Wang didn't understand.
Concubine Jiao Xian's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she looked at Wang with concern.
"Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the old ministers to do that? What's more, people in the world will think that the Holy One is mean and ungrateful and cannot tolerate the old ministers. How can the Lord Li Guogong be loyal and patriotic for generations, so that the Holy One can bear the burden of "all cunning rabbits and lackeys" "Cooking"?
Wang was very confused.
"How?"
Concubine Jiao Xian said quietly,
"Of course, the Duke and the Crown Prince are seriously ill and cannot lead the army. In this way, they stay in the mansion to recuperate, and the court can naturally send people to manage the Li family's army. As for the twelve thunder generals, they are loyal to the Duke. , the Duke of Guo is back, is it still far before they leave the Li family army?"
"Taking the fire under the cauldron?!" Ms. Wang understood.
Concubine Jiao Xian pretended to be profound and touched Wang's hand, whispering,
"There are a lot of idle princes among the brothers of the Holy Father and among the royal heirs. Why can't your Duke Li be an idle prince? Rather than waiting for the Holy King to take action, it is better for us to take the initiative to hand over power ourselves. The Holy King should not force him too hard, and I will also be grateful to the Duke of the country for his wise principles. The king is at peace and his ministers are happy, and everyone is happy, isn't it good?"
Wang looked at the two sisters and was in a trance for a moment. Ji Min and Ji Jun both had the same forehead as Ji Kui. At this moment, their smooth foreheads showed a stubbornness and coldness that was inconsistent with their age.
Ji Jun raised his eyebrows slightly,
"Madam! Just because I am a merchant girl, just because I don't have the support of powerful relatives and friends, just because I am still useful to you, you are deliberately trying to suppress me and persecute me. You let me go to meet these high-ranking officials one by one. Madam, I listened to their scoldings and ridicules, endured their humiliation and ridicule, and grinded my self-esteem and face under my soles, lowering my already low background to the dust, and from then on I became the leader of the capital city. The laughing stock, it is no longer possible for you to enter the palace of Duke Li. This is equivalent to you torturing me ten times without any blood! It also means that you have tried your best to do your best for Li Michen, but I am really not worthy of the big responsibility, and I am not recognized by those imperial ladies. What can I do?"
Ji Min spoke suddenly, his tone was cold,
"Aunt, you are my closest relative. My cousin and I have the same clan. Even if we are not close, why do you have to tease and humiliate your cousin? You never leave the Concubine Xian, and you have such a tacit understanding with the Concubine Xian. , you should have entered the palace with the Concubine Xian in the first place, why would you enter the Duke Li's Mansion, so as not to worry about me, the granddaughter of the Duke Li's Mansion, now!"
"Ji Min!" Wang was really angry.
Ji Jun was very horrified after hearing this, because Ji Min's words were really "disobedient" in this era.
Disobedience, so what?
In his previous life, Ji Min was quiet, well-behaved, obedient, submissive and sensible, but so what?
After she entered the palace, she was suppressed by Concubine Jiao Xian and tortured in every possible way.
Guan Jingqiu took away her jewelry without receiving any reprimand or punishment.
Ji Min, on the other hand, was forced to kneel down by Concubine Jiao Xian, and even worse, he was forced to kneel down in the Buddhist hall and copy scriptures.
Guan Jingqiu's maid made trouble with Haitang, but it was Haitang who was punished by Concubine Jiao Xian.
The eunuch beat Haitang all over her body with bruises, but Ji Min felt sad and rushed to protect Haitang. Ji Min was also deliberately whipped several times by the executioner's little eunuch!
Ji Min couldn't bear it, so he took the opportunity of the palace banquet to cry to Wang.
But Mrs. Wang reprimanded her severely. Mrs. Wang said that Ji Min was ignorant!
He said that Ji Min didn’t understand Concubine Jiao Xian’s painstaking efforts!
It is said that Concubine Jiao Xian has "deep love and deep responsibility"!
Moreover, Concubine Jiao Jiaoxian personally told the Wang family that she was willing to treat Ji Min as her own sister.
The silver notes that Ji Min brought into the palace were stolen by Concubine Jiao Xian. In the Wang family, it was Concubine Jiao Xian who was worried that Ji Min would suffer in other palaces, so she deliberately kept her in Fuyuan Palace. As a last resort, Concubine Jiao Xian took care of her. , a lot of thought!
Wang scolded Ji Min with disdain,
"Do you think your idea of a thing can communicate with the gods? Do you know that the prerequisite for having money to make people work is that someone accepts your money! Go and deliver it to Wang Da Naiguan yourself, will they accept it? You If uncle goes, no one will accept him!"
"The palace is a place where people are eaten without blood. The Concubine Xian is kind and willing to accept you into her palace. With your brains, without the Concubine Xian to protect you, you would have died hundreds of times!"
yes! Concubine Jiao Xian protects her!
Instigated Guan Jingqiu to frame him!
Charge her with "suppressing victory"!
"Protecting" her almost died under Fuyuan Palace's staff!
In this life, I will not make the same mistakes again, never!
