When encountering big problems, you need to stay calm and collected, Li Shu always told herself this.
It seemed that she had known something secret, but she could not tell it to her mouth. After all, Li Shu felt that she had already married, and even if the prince had charming thoughts, he could not really be infatuated with her. No matter what age a man is, he likes an eighteen-year-old girl. He is more than ten years old and will be thirty in a few years. Who will still miss her?
It's just that she won't go to the East Palace in the future if she can. It's also good for herself.
Li Shu looked normal, but Li Zhen was preoccupied. After the guests had dispersed, she called Cen Shifang over. Cen Shifang didn't know why, but he came over quickly.
"Is Madam not in good health?" Cen Shifang asked.
Li Zhen shook her head: "I want to ask you, how does the prince treat my third sister now? I feel strange about Brother Shu being his companion. A few days ago, the prince even met my third sister in person, and I was afraid. What if he has an affair? This is a big deal."
In fact, it was not uncommon for foreign vassal kings to seize the wives of their ministers, but it was nothing. However, the prince's every move was watched by the whole world, and the Zheng family was not a small family.
Cen Shifang thought of the appearance of his third aunt. She looked very decent, but she was indeed very attractive. She usually spoke as tactfully as an oriole out of the valley, and was talented and agile. Especially people like the prince. People who are often sick prefer someone who is more lively and dexterous. , this third aunt simply fits the bill, Liu Lishu is simply born to be a prince.
It would be fine if the youth of such a person has passed away, but she has an all-powerful appearance. Even after giving birth to two children, her charm has not diminished and she has become more charming. Cen Shifang saw it clearly during the last race. She doesn't take any credit when she is, and she is very charming and kind-hearted. It is normal for the prince to like her.
"Don't worry. The prince is very stable and calm. He is not an ordinary person. As for the meeting, if it is really secret, your third sister will not tell it, so don't worry about it." Cen Shifang comforted him. Li Zhen, I am afraid that it will be bad for her health if she thinks too much during her confinement period.
Li Zhen felt relieved when Cen Shifang said this.
This is Li Zhen. She is simple-minded and doesn't like to think too much. She really thinks that nothing will happen.
However, when Lishu returned home, Zhu Lingxuan happened to be in action, and she hurried over. When the wind outside the yard blew, a lot of the wine she had eaten today also dispersed.
"How is the Sixth Young Mistress?" Li Shu grabbed a girl who came out of the back room and asked.
The girl said: "Po Wen said that it was started just now, but it's still early now. She said she wanted the Sixth Young Mistress to take a bath, but she is currently eating shredded chicken noodle soup."
Hearing that it was still early, Li Shu shouted a few words of reassurance to Zhu Lingxuan through the door. Zhu Lingxuan gave birth smoothly and gave birth to the baby in the middle of the night.
Zheng Miao was two years younger than Zhu Lingxuan. They were a young couple who had a good relationship, and their daughter was regarded as a treasure.
Zheng Miao wrote a letter to tell his parents-in-law about this news, but before the letter was sent, something happened to the Zhu family. After Zhu Lian and his entourage arrived in Dezhou, Mrs. Zhu spent all day fasting and chanting Buddha's name, ignoring things, and did not dare to call herself a member of the Jinghu Liu family.
But she didn't dare, because the people below would not be so restrained, especially this time the Zhu family's servants followed them to Beijing and knew the Liu family's status in the capital, and they revealed it a little bit.
Zhu Lian arrived in Texas smoothly, although there were
I was a little worried, but soon after I took office, I didn’t care.
But I didn't expect that Zhu Lian's past affairs would be revealed. At that time, Zhu Lian had bought horses for him under the instruction of King Cheng. Although this was done very secretly, when the old things were mentioned again, it turned out that someone else wanted to get rid of him. But Zhu Lian couldn't refute.
At that time, the daughter of the Chi family married Xiao Yun, the eldest son of the prince, and Zhu Lian's sister was Mrs. Wuyang Hou. They were all related by interests. Xiao Yun was also very popular at the time. Zhu Lian had always been timid and kept his actions very secretive. Unexpectedly, he was still involved. Turn it out.
This time, not only did he lose his official position, but he was also forced to resign and return to his hometown, losing his official status.
The Zhu family was like a bolt from the blue. Mrs. Zhu was crying, but she was also preparing her luggage. She had no other idea of marrying a chicken, a chicken, a dog, a dog, so she had no choice but to go home. But Mrs. Zhu understood that Mrs. Liu's revenge was coming, and they really went too far.
"Mother, my son regrets not listening to you." Zhu Lian's face was filled with despair.
Mrs. Zhu was psychologically prepared. When her husband died and she was a widower and unemployed, she was able to raise her two children by herself. What is she afraid of now, but all her efforts have been in vain.
"I told you a long time ago that they will not let me go. It's all because your father was too ruthless back then, and the Liu family is used to being ruthless. Back then, my cousin colluded with the eunuch in the palace. The emperor was so angry that he had been idle at home for many years. Moreover, he was also very confused and listened to his wife in everything. He was like this when he was young. It would be as easy for someone to crush us to death as to crush an ant." Zhu The old lady was also filled with regret.
Zhu Lian originally came from a poor family. If it weren't for his mother who came from this aristocratic family, it would be difficult for him to get ahead in the officialdom.
Obviously his sister is Mrs. Wuyang Hou, and he has already become the governor of the state in his forties. Now he is fine and has nothing.
The calmest person in the Zhu family is actually Aunt Dong. She is a concubine. She was originally meant to be a maid. She has nothing to lose. She originally thought she would be Zhu Lian's concubine. From then on, her son will never be the same again. He is the son of the housekeeper. , Unexpectedly, after going around and around, Zhu Lian became a commoner.
The madam’s son has been studying in the Yang family, so of course there is no need to worry, but what about her son? How to get ahead.
"Mom." Zhu Yilang came in with a panic look on his face.
Aunt Dong pursed her lips: "Ichiro, I'm going to write a letter to your eldest sister. You need to find someone reliable to send it to you."
Zhu Yilang frowned: "Mom, isn't that dead girl always at odds with you? Why are you writing a letter to her? Can she still persuade the Zheng family?"
Aunt Dong looked at him steadily: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. In short, you have to deliver this letter to the big girl in Beijing for me."
If she were younger, Aunt Dong's remarriage wouldn't be a problem, but it's a pity that she is now an old lady and can't go anywhere.
But her son could not satisfy his status as a commoner. The only way he could escape from this status was through Zhu Lingxuan. She heard that Zhu Lingxuan's husband was extremely talented and a son of the Zheng family. Nothing bad.
Although Zhu Yilang didn't understand why this was the case, he always listened to his mother's words and followed others' instructions.
Beijing
Princess Funing's flower banquet was reopened, and Li Shu naturally wanted to go to the banquet. Speaking of Princess Funing, she thought of Fu Minglun. He fell ill on the way back from Jiaozhi and never returned to Beijing. He has been recuperating in the south, and Princess Funing He also keeps making faces, and now the one he loves the most is called
Dong Zhu, known as Fu Fen Dong Lang, describes him as a jade-faced gentleman.
In order to attend the flower banquet, all the ladies in the capital began to make new blouses, eager to come out on top.
Lishu also had a tailor she was familiar with. She had someone come to her home to tailor her clothes early. It took her most of the day to choose the clothes. However, after the clothes were selected, she also had to make a custom-made headdress.
"I'm afraid it's too late today. Let's go to the street to choose tomorrow." Li Shu said to Zhu Lan.
Zhulan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will have the carriages and horses ready tomorrow. Let's go to Chang'an Street. There are several newly opened shops, all of which are the most fashionable jewelry. There are pictures to choose from, and the products are also made. Pretty fast.”
Li Shu was very happy: "That's great."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Hao walked in from outside and asked, "What's so good?"
When the servants saw Zheng Hao coming back, they all went out with eyes. Lishu turned around and spoke softly without realizing it: "I said that these days are Princess Funing's flower banquet. The daughter of a noble lady in Beijing. They all have to go, so I plan to buy some jewelry.”
"Really? When do you plan to go, I will go with you." Zheng Hao sat down with a smile.
Li Shu said, "I'll go tomorrow."
Zheng Hao was very distressed: "If it's tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. I really have something to do tomorrow and I have to go to the Yamen."
"Fool, I wish I could go shopping by myself. It's only when I go shopping that I can enjoy myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable with you following me. Now, stop worrying and smile." Li Shu touched his face.
Zheng Hao thought to himself, I will treat myself as a pet, because Li Shu likes it like this.
Women just like to work hard on this, and Lishu also likes it. The more beautiful the better, and as expected, she really shined at Princess Funing's flower banquet.
Zheng Hao, on the other hand, was disgraced and worked in the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel was used to control the appointment of private persons by the chief minister, so he had to be careful in employing people. At this time of the competition, the Minister of Civil Affairs fell ill, so Zheng Hao had to stay and work.
He thought that if he continued to work so hard, he would definitely grow old faster.
Lishu was ten years younger than him. She loved his face very much. For this reason, she had to practice swordplay every day and eat less to stay in good shape. She even rarely drank alcohol because she liked the smell of her body.
"Forget it, I was born to work hard." Zheng Hao sighed to himself.
When she returned, Lishu happened to have not taken off the new shirt she was wearing today, and kept it for Zheng Hao to see. Zheng Hao, who was already very tired, couldn't help but feel a little inferior when he saw Lishu so energetic and beautiful.
Li Shu also turned around: "You left too early in the morning and didn't even see anyone wearing this outfit. How about it? Does it look good?"
"It's beautiful." Zheng Hao admired sincerely.
Lishu saw that he looked tired and said quickly: "I saw that there is a very delicious soup in the princess's house, called Anxiang soup, so I brought a portion back for you to drink. It is for regulating the spleen and stomach. I will also come with the recipe. Yes, I will make it myself next time, come and try it.”
Zheng Hao was dragged by her hands to sit down, drank a bowl of fragrant soup to whet his appetite, and ate half a bowl of rice before he felt more comfortable.
Li Shu saw that he was not in a good mood, so she took him out for a walk in the garden. Zheng Hao saw her smiling and smiling along the way, and his mood improved a lot.
But in order to secure his position, when a flapping moth flew over, Zheng Hao showed his fear at the right time: "Shu'er, drive it away for me."
Seeing him relying on her like this, Li Shu immediately felt so angry that she picked up a stone and threw it at the moth. The moth was so frightened that it quickly ran away. Then she looked at Zheng Hao and said, "Look, I drove them away. I must be awesome."
"Awesome, awesome. Otherwise, why would I feel so at ease every time when I'm with you!" Zheng Hao looked at her gratefully.
When Li Shu saw him, her eyes were filled with tears, and she felt that she and Zheng Hao were a perfect match. !
