Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Aunt Osmanthus naturally nodded without hesitation.

Not only was the wages in the clothes shop much higher than her wages in the restaurant, but it was also much lighter than her working in the restaurant.

As for that goddamn Zhang Lin, she should think about what to do.

Now that she has the support of the shopkeeper, she is not afraid that Zhang Lin will bully their mother and daughter with his power.

Seeing that Aunt Osmanthus agreed to come down, Qi Qingxi discussed with Aunt Osmanthus to send a carriage to send Aunt Osmanthus back to pack up first, and asked her and Lihua to stay at her house for a few days first, and then go to the shop at Xizhimen to help.

Ginkgo brought Lihua back to the hall, and Qi Qingxi asked Ginkgo and Sequoia to clean up a house for the couple to live in.

Lihua ran to Qi Qingxi's side and asked her in a low voice: "Sister Qingxi, were you talking about my father just now? There is news about my father, right?"

Aunt Osmanthus didn't want her to know about her father so early, and Qi Qingxi didn't want to lie to her.

So Qi Qingxi put it another way: "Your mother will tell you when she finds your father, don't worry."

Lihua nodded, and asked again: "Sister Qingxi, do you think we can find my father?"

Just as Qi Qingxi was about to answer, a little girl's excited and clear voice came from the corridor in the distance.

"Pear blossom."

Qi Qingxi and Lihua looked over at the same time, only to see Ah Nuan trotting towards them while pinching the hem of her skirt.

Qi Qingxi shook her head helplessly: "You have learned all these rules with Huang Momo for nothing, and you are not afraid that Huang Momo will find out and punish you."

Ah Nuan took Qi Qingxi's hand and acted coquettishly: "Sister, I'm in a hurry to see Lihua, it's fine if you don't tell Mammy."

Qi Qingxi nodded her nose: "I really can't do anything about you."

Ah Nuan and Qi Qingxi heyed twice, then turned to hold Lihua's hand: "Long time no see, when did you come to the capital? Did you come alone? Why didn't you see your mother and brother?"

Ah Nuan's series of questions directly overwhelmed Lihua.

In Lihua's impression, Ah Nuan, like her, has a temperament that does not dare to speak loudly with others.

But when she looked at Ah Nuan now, she was as generous and beautiful as the official ladies she saw in the capital these days.

wrong……

Ah Nuan is Miss Guanjia now.

Thinking of this, Lihua was a little embarrassed to speak to Ah Nuan.

When Ah Nuan saw Li Hua talking, she frowned and smiled slightly: "What's the matter? Could it be that you forgot me? I'm Ah Nuan."

Lihua then called out in a low voice: "A Nuan."

"Yeah." Ah Nuan sweetly answered while holding Li Hua's hand.

Qi Qingxi listened to the conversation between the two little girls, and had a panoramic view of their expressions.

Ah Nuan's generosity and openness are compared to Li Hua's cautiousness.

Only then did she truly realize that Ah Nuan had changed a lot compared to when she was in Ansui.

Thinking about it this way, she felt more at ease about Ah Nuan's future.

Ah Nuan pulled Lihua to the side to talk.

Qi Qingxi looked out the window, the sky was bright and clear, and it was a rare good weather. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.

Compared with the demureness of Gu's mansion, the court of this matter can be described as a mess.

Especially after Li Dequan announced to the courtiers that Emperor Qitai was ill and spared the early court, King An Li Qiming stepped forward to inquire.

"I also ask Eunuch Li to explain exactly how the father is sick."

During the Taizu period of this dynasty, a rule was established that the emperor had to come to the court to listen to the government every day, no matter whether it was cold winter or hot summer.

After persisting in this way for several dynasties, until the reign of Emperor Yongming, Emperor Yongming ascended the throne at a young age, and could not get up early to go to court like his ancestors, and then the early court was shelved for many years until Emperor Yongming came of age.

However, even after Emperor Yongming became an adult, he was still not keen on government affairs, and even went to court for three days fishing and two days drying the net.

For the subsequent generations of emperors, although Emperor Yongming was more diligent in political affairs, compared to his ancestors, he occasionally slacked off.

Like Emperor Qitai, who occasionally did not come to court due to illness, the courtiers often turned a blind eye to it.

But what happened today?

This King An actually asked the reason why the emperor was ill.

At this time, a sharp-eyed minister discovered that King Qi hadn't come to the court today. After this adult found out, he immediately whispered to his colleagues around him.

After a while, the news that King Qi didn't come to the court spread throughout the court, and coupled with Wang An's strange behavior of questioning the emperor's health, everyone could be regarded as aware that something was wrong.

Standing beside Li Wenkang, the lieutenant-general of the Three Thousand Battalion bumped into his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, is there something wrong in this palace?"

Li Wenkang was an old acquaintance with the deputy general, and he gave the deputy general a look: "I don't know."

The deputy general let out a soft "hey": "How can you not know, you are the commander of the Jingwei, and your duty is to defend the capital and guard the palace. How can you not know what happened in this palace?"

Li Wenkang gave him another look: "I don't live in the palace, and what happened in the harem, if I, a courtier, knew about it, it would be a crime of beheading. You want to kill me."

The lieutenant general thought, yes, at most Li Wenkang was guarding the court outside the palace, if he dared to enter the harem without an order, a few heads would not be enough.

And he reckoned that it should be what happened in the harem last night, and it is not convenient for everyone to inquire about what happened in the harem after the palace ban, otherwise it should have been posted in the courtiers' houses.

He didn't ask Li Wenkang what happened anymore, he just winked at Li Wenkang and then looked at King An: "Then let's watch."

Li Wenkang gave a calm "um" on his face, but he sighed in his heart.

He knew immediately last night that something important had happened in the palace, but could he say it? He couldn't.

Not only could he not say anything, he even pretended to be ignorant, waiting for the emperor to give him an order with a shocked and distressed expression.

King Qi was so bold that he dared to kill his father. If he really heard this from the emperor, he might say something that would poke the emperor's heart.

Thanks to a nephew and son-in-law who came to inform him in advance.

But there was one thing that seemed strange to him.

King Qi's assassination of the emperor took place in Chengqian Palace. Based on the relationship between his nephew and son-in-law and concubine Xian, it is not surprising that he knew about it at the first time, but how did King An know about it?

According to the nephew and son-in-law, after the incident, the emperor immediately sent people to seal the palace and strictly ordered everyone to spread the matter. The nephew and son-in-law also spent a whole night of inquiring to find out about it.

Even when the Imperial Army reported this matter to him this morning, they only said that it was King Qi and Princess Anle who spoke rudely and were punished by the emperor to contemplate their mistakes in the mansion.

Wang An's attitude of holding on to it clearly shows that he already knows what happened in the palace.

Li Wenkang looked up at King An who was talking to Li Dequan.
