When Li Xia came out, Mrs. Yan lifted the curtain from the car and looked at Li Xia's expression first, "It didn't take long."

"I just went to see the bride with the Queen Mother. The royal rules for sitting in the tent are the same as ours. She can't move while sitting upright. There's nothing interesting to see. I saw that Tang Guifei looked very good." Li Xia got in the car and met Mrs. Yan.

smiled.

"It's not bad." Madam Yan followed Li Xia's words and talked about Tang Jiayu, "When I arrived, Mrs. Sui and Mrs. Gu were both there. Tang Guifei looked good and she said that the emperor treated her very well. The Queen Mother

He treats her very well, the empress also treats her very well, and Sister Su and Sister Yao also treat her very well."

"Sister Su, sister Yao?" Li Xia repeated subconsciously.

"Well, that's what she's called. She's still the same as when she was at home. She talks non-stop when she's happy. It's okay to be with the wife. She's matured and can't let anyone see anything. The eldest lady's complexion is a bit...

My son is not very good. Logically speaking, if your concubine is so good, she should rest assured, but... alas."

Mrs. Yan sighed repeatedly and replaced Ayu with Sister Nan. Her complexion probably wouldn't get better no matter how hard she tried.

"Auntie, don't think too much. Now, Hai Qing and He Yan can live in peace for three to five years. Who knows what will happen in three to five years." Li Xia advised in a low voice.

"That's right." Mrs. Yan straightened her back, spoke in an upward tone, and cheered up, "Don't say three or five years, it's tomorrow. Who knows what it will be like? If you don't talk about this, you will be starving.

Right? Let’s go home quickly and have something to eat. It’s serious.”

"What time is it?" Li Xia lifted the curtain and looked outside the brightly lit car. It was too late today.

Early the next morning, Li Xia asked Fugui to see when King Qin and General Lu would return to the palace. It was not until evening that Fugui came back to report that the prince and General Lu had returned.

Li Xia hurriedly got in the car and went to Prince Qin's Mansion.

After getting off the car at the second gate, I saw Lu Yi standing behind the screen wall, smiling and bowing slightly as he cupped his hands at her, "The concierge said that Fugui has come here to ask questions many times. The prince is worried that you are in a hurry, so he asked me to greet you here."

you."

"It's nothing urgent, I just wanted to come over for a stroll." Li Xia got out of the car and smiled at Lu Yi with her knees bent.

Lu Yi was a little surprised when she saw that Li Xia was the only one getting out of the car. He was used to her carrying Duan Inkstone with her wherever she went... It seemed like there was something really important.

Lu Yi was one step behind Li Xia, chatting about flowers and grass as she walked towards the study yard.

After entering the courtyard door of the study, Li Xia stopped in the corridor and looked at Lu Yi, "I heard that on the day Tang Guifei was appointed to enter the palace, I felt depressed, so I went to the garden for a long time."

Lu Yi didn't know why Li Xia suddenly mentioned this matter, so she hurriedly listened carefully.

"Later, I wandered into a small pavilion under two trees by the lake. It's a great place to look down at the lotus leaves in the lake. Does General Lu know about this place?" Li Xia looked at Lu Yi and asked.

"It's the Zhaowan Pavilion." Lu Yi answered quickly and firmly. He knew what time she came that day, where she went, and where she rested. The back garden of this palace was almost empty, with very few

Some people walked to the lake.

"Well, Duan Yan and I were sitting in Zhaowan Pavilion watching the scenery and chatting. When we talked about the difference between monarch and minister, Tang Guifei entered the palace. From now on, she and we will be one monarch and one minister." Li Xia paused, "

Yesterday in the palace of the Crown Prince, Empress Jiang said that Tang Guifei and I used to be very good sisters, but now, Tang Guifei is the king and I am the minister, one monarch and one minister, there is a world of difference."

Lu Yi's expression changed, and she opened her mouth to say something. Li Xia looked directly at him, "It's not that I'm suspicious, this mansion has chosen so many people from the palace. There are too many people. Fortunately, these words were all said in Zhaowan Pavilion.

There are only a few people who can hear it, so it’s easy to find out. You only need to test it a few times to find out.”

"Yes." Before Li Xia finished speaking, Lu Yi's expression returned to normal and she bowed slightly to agree.

In the Hanging Flower Gate, King Qin came out. Li Xia met King Qin and hurried over.

…………

After passing Pingjiang Mansion, Li Wenshan discussed with Mr. Qin for a long time. In the evening, the boat docked at a small pier. Mr. Qin quietly went ashore with four or five long followers, bought horses, and traveled overland to Jiangning Mansion by starry night.

Before Li Wenshan arrived at Jiangning Mansion, he wanted to find out clearly about the Tang family's village, its fields, and its reputation among farmers.

…………

In the middle of the night, Tang Chengyi and his wife Sui's upper room had no lights on. Tang Shangshu and his wife were sitting on the couch under the south window, one on the left and one on the right. The window was half open, and the clear moonlight poured in, making the room clear and quiet.

.

"I think I will hand over the certificate tomorrow." Tang Shangshu broke the silence and said in a low voice.

Mrs. Sui burst into tears, "Sister Yu..."

"This is also for Sister Yu." Tang Shangshu said in a deep voice, "That is a silly child. When I retreat, she has no support. Firstly, she can calm down her temper and be more careful. Secondly, she can also stop

Get rid of those thoughts that you shouldn’t have.”

"The second master of Jiangning Mansion's boat said it was almost arriving at Changyuan Pier." Mrs. Sui took a deep breath, her voice slightly choked.

"A few days after the fifth brother of the Li family left, Guo Sheng came to me and told me a lot about the stinky and dirty things in the old house of Jiangning Mansion. If these things are investigated and dealt with seriously, the Tang family will not be wiped out.

It is enough to save half a life from the disaster. Guo Sheng knows about those things, but they are not in Guo Sheng's hands."

Tang Shangshu's voice was low, and Mrs. Sui was dumbfounded as she listened, "Isn't that all the things Sister Rui came back to talk about last time? Is there anything else?"

"Well, that's just the tip of the iceberg. What Guo Sheng knows, I don't know if it's all, but it's not all, it's enough." Tang Shangshu sighed longly.

"Where is that thing? It's..." Mrs. Sui stared at Tang Shangshu, and her next words were stuck. In whose hands it is, do you still need to ask? Guo Sheng has been working as a counselor in the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

"We have always been close to the Prince of Qin's Mansion. If Sister Yu really can give birth to a prince, in the future, please invite the fifth brother or the sixth brother of the Li family to be a gentleman and serve the King of Qin like a father..." After a long silence, Madam Sui lowered her voice.

Low way.

"Alas." Tang Shangshu sighed and smiled bitterly, "You, mother-in-law, are also stupid. Even if the King of Qin can trust me and us, what about the Tang family? Look, this person from Jiangning's old house is like a fool.

Ship, who can restrain you and me? If Sister Yu really wants to give birth to a prince, if the Queen Mother really has this plan, the first thing she will do after it happens is to uproot the Tang family."

"The Tang family is not bad either. This is even the root..." Mrs. Sui said with disapproval.

"Sister Yu is too stupid." Tang Shangshu almost said with a sigh, "She can't even protect herself. Your Majesty..." Tang Shangshu laughed dryly, "You can't point it out. Your Majesty can't point it out.

Sister Yu may not even understand that if we really want to have a little prince, Sister Yu and the little prince must rely on the Queen Mother to protect her. For this to be maintained, our Tang family must be driven by the Qin Palace.

It will take more than ten years for the little prince to be born and grow up. In these ten years, what will be left of the Tang family in the hands of the Qin Palace? The Tang family is a more profound and long-standing poetry and calligraphy master than the Gu family, and the Gu family does not have to fight for this support.

The Tang family cannot even take credit for the merits he has made."

"I'm confused." Madam Sui's tears came down again, "I have watched Sister Yu grow up, and in my heart..." Madam Sui scratched her chest, and when she thought of Sister Yu, her heart felt like a knife.

"Don't think too much. You often go to the palace to see Sister Yu, don't you think she is very good? Being stupid has its advantages. If she thinks it is good, then it will be fine. I am begging for retirement, which is only good for her. I still have some reputation.

, The Tang family still has a bit of thin face in front of the Queen Mother. With this reputation and this thin face, as long as she is not stupid enough to fight and fight, her life can be saved. How can there be anything else? "

"You are doing it for the Tang family." Mrs. Sui's voice was choked with sobs.

"Sigh." After a long time, Tang Shangshu sighed, "I am here for the Tang family, but without the Tang family, how would Sister Yu have a way to survive? It's just one thing and another."
