Seeing that things were about to break out, Mrs. Xu couldn't pretend not to hear. Her daughter could just talk about it in private, but where would she put the face of her uncle and her relatives and friends now?
Therefore, she came out and said: "Fifth girl, your sixth sister is getting married. You should also go and see her and have a good talk with her."
When Li Zhen heard her mother's reminder, she realized that her old habit had returned. Why should she be in such a cockfighting mode? Speaking of which, Lirou is no longer as good as her now, and Wu Xuanhe is arrogant, and he is definitely not someone who betrays his wife's appearance. If she really suppresses her hard enough to make her fall into pieces, then the gain will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, Li Zhen immediately adjusted herself: "Okay, I'm going to see the sixth sister right now."
Before Liu Chengzong retired, he sent his youngest daughter Qiniang to the East Palace, and his second daughter Liu Niang, using Cen Shifang as a matchmaker, married the second son of the Duke of Wei. All things were settled.
Once she left, the atmosphere here became even better.
Liwan is very good at activating the atmosphere, and she is a scene person. What she said is called laughter, and Lishu is also laughing. Zheng Hao, who is not far away, looks at Lishu and thinks in his heart, he must make her so happy all the time. That's good.
Wu Xuanhe felt uncomfortable. Once upon a time, the Wu family was so lively, and they, the yamen, lived so freely. Now that she was fine, he felt a little distressed when he saw Lirou sitting there and laughing all the time, her expression obviously not as happy as that of her third sister.
Over the years, Lirou took good care of him. He originally had several concubines, but they were gradually let out. The relationship between the husband and wife was very good.
Because of this, Wu Xuanhe was determined to make a career, so he went to Beijing shamelessly.
In fact, the Wu family is very rich, and they can't use it up in a few lifetimes. This is the way out for his father. But if they have money but no power, and their career is not going smoothly, the family will have to stay in their hometown for the rest of their lives.
Everyone gathered together for lunch. After Li Shu finished her meal, she glanced at Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao accompanied her to pick plum blossoms. The plum blossoms were so powerful. Li Shu held a branch of plum blossoms and suddenly said to Zheng Hao: "I don't know how my parents are doing at home. If I had known, I should have stayed at home to take care of my parents so that you would have no worries."
Originally, Mrs. Fu did not plan to take up a new post with Liu Chengxu this time. The reason was that her parents were old and they had to worry about their children.
Only Li Shu said this.
But after she finished speaking, she saw that Zheng Hao was silent for a long time. Li Shu looked up again and saw that Zheng Hao was smiling but not smiling.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is this really what you think?"
After Zheng Hao finished speaking, he sighed again, held her shoulders and said, "Don't say such polite words even here. There are so many servants in the house, do you still want to go back to your hometown to be a mother-in-law?"
When her intentions were discovered, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she said, "Is that because you can't bear to leave me? How can a person as kind, righteous, wise, and trustworthy as you be deceived by beauty?"
"You girl, you dare to say anything." Zheng Hao was hugged by her arm, and he felt that Li Shu's little temper was getting more and more lively, and she dared to make fun of herself and even her parents-in-law.
Li Shu was not afraid of him, she was just walking in the snow.
On the other side, Lirou lived in the boudoir where she had lived before. She saw Wu Xuanhe squinting his eyes slightly on the recliner, twisting the handkerchief and wiping his forehead.
Wu Xuanhe felt that the smile he had been deliberately putting on had softened a lot since he had been put on the hot handkerchief.
Lirou smiled and said: "Just now our wife said that we should live together. After uncle retired, my father became more and more interested. I think we will have someone to take care of us if we live here."
"That's fine." Wu Xuanhe had no other objections.
Lirou knew that he had always been a very high-spirited person, and added: "Our house has always been very quiet. Although my wife is not my biological mother, you also know that she has always acted fairly and behaved appropriately. This is where I lived before I got married." Their boudoir has been specially prepared for us to live in, and we can’t ignore the kindness of our elders.”
Seeing her cautiousness, Wu Xuanhe comforted her and said, "Isn't it nice to live at my parents-in-law's house? My father-in-law treats me like a son and says I'm very good. He also recommended me to my third brother-in-law."
Li Rou thought to herself that her father was such a person, he was very enthusiastic and kind to everyone, and he would help others regardless of reward.
When Mr. Fu came back from abroad, he felt very guilty. He treated her as before and never asked anything else. This was better than thousands of men. He even helped his uncle, Aunt Su's brother.
The only exception is that he chose Xiao Fu emotionally, which is difficult to understand.
"Did your fifth sister quarrel with you?" Wu Xuanhe saw clearly.
The former fifth aunt was almost a laughing stock in the capital. She was oppressed by her bastard daughter-in-law, oppressed by her mother-in-law, and even stole her sister's poems to become famous. What she did was disgusting. Unexpectedly, after Cen Shifang came back, Xianyu would turn around, and no one would remember her past things.
Just as Wu Xuanhe thought, once the Wu family fell, they lost all dignity.
And Cen Shifang became a marquis, and he had all the dignity.
Lirou didn't want him to worry, so she shook her head desperately: "What are you talking about? It's nothing."
Wu Xuanhe pursed his lips.
But Cen Shifang was here. After drinking a lot of wine, his throat was a little dry. Li Zhen handed over the honey water, and Cen Shifang took it. He actually knew Li Zhen's petty nature. After all, compared to her sisters, she was far behind in appearance, temperament, and literary talent. In the beginning, Cen Shifang was even attracted to Lirou, and the one with stunning appearance was Lishu, so there was nothing wrong with her.
But there is one thing that Cen Shifang is very clear about. Lizhen is the eldest daughter of the Liu family. This status is enough for him and is unmatched by others.
Therefore, he must give her dignity: "I should be happy when I return to your house. Why do you look unhappy? Did someone mess with you? I will vent your anger on your behalf."
Li Zhen originally didn't want Cen Shifang to talk to Li Rou, but now she said calmly: "It's nothing, I just got pregnant and always feel stuffy."
"Then you have to have a good life." Cen Shifang didn't understand what Li Zhen was worried about. She was the only one worthy of his wife.
Li Zhen smiled and said: "I will."
From beginning to end, Li Zhen was on guard, Li Rou was worried about her husband, and Mrs. Xu was isolated intentionally or unintentionally, so that Cen Shifang never saw Li Rou alone.
On the way back, Lishu also smiled: "Obviously some men are restless, but they make women feel like they are in danger. Let me tell you, women in this world don't have to be too morally bound."
Zheng Hao was already used to Li Shu's words, "Don't worry so much. You will be entering the palace in a few days. You have to prepare in advance."
Li Shu nodded: "Yes, I have prepared all the gifts for your concubine's birthday. Please don't worry."
Li Shu was already familiar with the process of entering the palace. She went to the palace to say hello and said a few casual words before returning from the palace. As for the last horse fall in the palace, I heard that some young eunuchs fed the wrong fodder. No one would believe such nonsense, but it can be seen that neither the prince nor the emperor chose to make a big deal.
Li Shu originally thought that the matter in the East Palace had nothing to do with her anymore. Anyway, she saved people, so she just treated her as a favor without repaying it.
Unexpectedly, Brother Shu was chosen as the emperor's eldest grandson's companion. I heard that he was appointed by the prince.
Even Li Shu herself didn't think of it: "The prince is still very considerate. He didn't choose our brother Qi. Why did he choose our brother Shu? I heard that the emperor's eldest grandson's companions are all quarreling with each other."
The prince of the East Palace is not in very good health. Just like his uncle, he only has a few single seedlings. Even among the children he gives birth to, not many are healthy.
The emperor's eldest grandson is very likely to be the future emperor, and the East Palace chose Brother Shu, which is really unexpected.
Zheng Hao had to take Brother Shu into the East Palace to express his gratitude. Now that the emperor is old and never the same as before, he always holds the power firmly in his own hands. Everyone is speculating that the prince may inherit the throne.
In this case, Zheng Hao couldn't take it lightly. He first wanted to show it to the emperor to show his distance from the East Palace, and also to show to the prince that he was facing him.
Zheng Hao still had to discuss with his staff how to act.
And Lirou and his wife were here at Lishu today. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Lirou was surprised when Zhulan mentioned Lishu's rescue of the emperor's eldest grandson from the crazy horse.
"My sister has never learned to ride horses with us before, but she has the courage to save people. I am really ashamed of my sister." Lirou felt that if it were her, she would definitely not dare to save people casually, and she might be scared out of her wits.
It seems that I am really not as brave and fearless as her.
When Wu Xuanhe heard about his third aunt's feat, he couldn't help but say: "Perhaps the prince saw that you saved the emperor's eldest grandson, so he allowed Brother Shu to have this grace. This is also a good thing."
Li Shu smiled and said, "Well, I don't know what these big shots are thinking."
"Third sister, you don't have to think too much. I think this is a good thing. Others may envy you." Wu Xuanhe advised.
Li Shu nodded slightly, not really happy and proud, but rather worried. Seeing this look in the eyes of Wu Xuanhe and his wife, they have an extra level of respect for her. They are not deceived by power. They are really clear-headed people.
East Palace
The prince came over to Liu Liangdi (the seventh girl of the Liu family) and was talking to her about his decision: "I chose your nephew, your third sister's youngest son, to be Ji'er's companion in the palace. How about that?"
Today, Liu Liangdi is no longer the seventh lady who shows off her power at home, not to mention that her father is no longer the commander of the Imperial Guard, and her information is not as well-informed as before. With the harem to learn from each other, she is much stronger than before.
But because she is not a legitimate daughter, Mrs. Xu does not have the personal guidance to the concubines like Little Fu. Although Liwan and Lirou are both concubines, the housekeepers are very decent in speaking and doing things. Even when their husbands are in a low position, they can communicate with everyone. If you have a good relationship, you can handle everything with ease.
The prince is also doting on Liu Liangdi. After all, he is young and beautiful. However, men of his age are not looking for some superficial coquettishness and infatuation. Being able to speak is very important. Liu Liangdi is obviously not among them, but when he meets Even though it was a big deal, the prince also respected her quite a bit.
Just like choosing Zheng Hao's youngest son to be a companion reader, this is a big deal.
Little did she know that Liu Liangdi scratched her head and asked, "Who is my third sister's youngest son?" She didn't have much contact with Li Shu on weekdays, and she had never been in charge of a housekeeper at that age, so she was temporarily asked.
The prince tilted his head and looked at her head. It felt very ridiculous. From the side, she looked so much like her third sister. Why did she have a human brain and a pig brain? :,,
