Ever since Li Shu got engaged to the Zheng family, Li Zhen knew that her mother would not marry her off easily, but she didn't expect that she would be betrothed to Cen Shifang.
Cen Shifang was the prince of Guangyang, and Gu Xue'e, who had a good relationship with Lirou when they were children, married Cen Shifang, but they disappeared within a year. But she didn't expect that she would marry Cen Shifang. She always thought that Lirou would marry Cen Shifang.
There was a vague fear in her heart. Yes, she was indeed from a stronger family than Li Shuli, but they were both prettier than her.
Whether it is being a female celebrity, studying, or even being a housekeeper, she is really inferior to them. Even though Lirou was a concubine, she was betrothed to the Wu family in Zhangpu. At least it was the first marriage for everyone, and she was the only one who directly became the stepmother.
Especially when she discovered the admiration in Mrs. Cen's eyes after seeing Li Shu, she was really overwhelmed.
Let's take the sisters to send needles and threads to Mrs. Cen, but Lishu's purse is the best. What's going on? My future mother-in-law's favorite is actually my second sister.
Probably because of this, Li Zhen always felt a little inferior. Even if she married into the prince's wife and had a noble status, dowry was a woman's sin, and she was often controlled by her mother-in-law.
Her husband was okay, especially on the wedding night, she kept her head hanging down. It was Cen Shifang who told her that he would respect her in the future because she was the legal wife.
Some people expect love extravagantly, but Li Zhen also expects it. She knows that Li Shu and Zheng Hao are just friends, but she cannot envy this kind of lingering friendship. Because she prefers status to friendship.
As long as you have a high status and can slap everyone in the face, it's fine.
To a certain extent, she and Cen Shifang have a cooperative relationship. It is really strange to say that it has not been smooth sailing for her in the Cen family for so many years. She was framed by Li Shu, and the childbirth did not go smoothly. It took several years for her to give birth. A son and a daughter. Cen Shifang may not have any affection for her, but her status is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Her mother said to her: "Actually, this is good. Love is the most misleading. As long as you secure the position of Mrs. Hou, it doesn't matter how many people he likes."
Li Zhen had no choice but to nod.
She is now Mrs. Hou, and the shabby sister-in-law Lin Taoer who once stole her limelight is still unknown in which corner. Every time she mentions Lin Taoer, Li Zhen said: "She clearly knows that I am the sister-in-law, but she always Trying to steal my spotlight.”
At this time, Cen Shifang's reaction was different from everyone else's. He would not feel like Li Shu and the others wanted to fight over each other. Instead, he told her: "That's a country girl. She doesn't know about superiority and inferiority. She thinks she is If you marry Cen Shiyan, you will become a member of the Hou family, but you don't know how a jackdaw can turn into a phoenix."
Lizhen's words were very pleasant to hear, but she didn't know that Cen Shifang himself had a strong sense of hierarchy. Gu Xue'e just didn't understand this. She thought she would tolerate her cousin Han at the time, but she didn't know that she was the principal wife. Faced with this situation, she took out How can your own attitude affect others?
Of course, there is no comparison between the Gu family and the Liu family.
Li Zhen is very similar to Cen Shifang to a certain extent. They are both descendants of the eldest family members. They are proud, self-conscious about their status, very hierarchical, and they are both military attachés.
In the evening, Li Zhen was copying Buddhist scriptures. Although she didn't like Li Shu, she learned a lot from her. For example, Li Shu said that she would copy scriptures when she felt uneasy, and Li Zhen is doing the same now.
Her handwriting has always been average, and she can only write fairly neatly on the surface. Cen Shi
Fang once saw her handwriting and said, "I heard that your second sister is the only one who writes well."
"Yes." Li Zhen had to admit.
Because Lishu's talent and reputation were well-known in the capital, she often held flower banquets. Anyone who wanted to be famous had to go to the Zheng family's flower banquets.
When Cen Shifang asked, she also said: "My second sister has worked very hard to study since she was a child. No one else in our family can match her. She doesn't even accompany my grandmother, just to study."
This is eye candy, saying that Li Shu doesn't care about anyone for her future.
Cen Shifang's expression was very interesting: "I always thought that word was -"
Somehow he suddenly stopped talking, and Li Zhen didn't know what he wanted to say. They were not the kind of couple who talked about everything. She would only stay in one place when there was an important matter, or let her stay at her place for ten fixed days every month. She was always polite.
As the Marquis of Guangyang, Li Zhen glanced at the sunshine outside the window through the gaps between her fingers, and felt that she herself had changed a lot.
For example, she still has to swallow her anger towards Li Shu because Dong Palace is interested in her.
Li Zhen thought she heard wrongly: "My second sister has been married a long time ago and has given birth to several children. Who would like an old lady like her?"
But Cen Shifang told her: "That's it. Your second sister and Dong Gong are not much different in age. I heard that the Liu family wanted to send a daughter to Dong Palace, but later they gave up for some unknown reason. This candidate is your second sister. I didn't expect that, so The prince who has been here for many years actually values her so much."
Li Zhen was forced to endure this, but what she was thinking in her heart was that Qimei was younger and might be better able to capture the prince's heart.
Who knew that when the prince ascended the throne, the seventh sister's favor was too little, and the father retired again. She was extremely anxious, but the seventh sister was lucky. Listening to the second sister's words, she really didn't fight for favor, but instead let Li Guanyin's bitchy hooves skyrocket.
Obviously the seventh sister has the biggest advantage, but Li Guanyin is just trying to imitate others, what the hell...
This time, she went to the palace again to persuade her, and even gave the seventh sister a pack of medicine. Of course, the medicine was for fun. As long as the emperor can be obsessed with Qimei's body and successfully give birth to Lin'er, the Liu family and the Cen family will have hope in the future.
Originally, Cen Shifang, a hero, was often beaten by the emperor, and Li Zhen was naturally sad.
I just didn't expect that this move would lead to Concubine Shu being demoted, and she and Cen Shifang were also demoted...
"I'm sorry, it's all me." Li Zhen really blamed herself.
Because of her, Cen Shifang was demoted. Unexpectedly, Cen Shifang did not blame himself. Instead, he said: "It's my problem, and you are doing it for our own good."
Li Zhen shook her head: "No, it's my fault. I'm going to plead with my second sister, my uncle, and my two cousins. By the way, Shulin is in Jinyiwei, so I'm going to plead with him too."
"No need, it's not bad to stay far away." Cen Shifang didn't blame her after hearing her say so much.
After being demoted, the relationship between the couple turned out to be very good. Cen Shifang was extremely considerate to her, and all his concubines were dismissed. He was only kind to her, and Li Zhen was so happy that she felt a little uncomfortable.
But when all the letters she wrote to the Liu family fell into the dark, and Cen Shifang was very cold to her, Li Zhen had no choice but to write desperately to Li Shu, begging her to explain herself, but Li Shu ignored her, and Li Zhen could not... …
She collapsed on the ground and finally realized that she actually had nothing except her family background. Now without this family background, it is nothing. !
