A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Chun Tao smiled and said, "The messenger said that the fourth young master Li and the third young master of the Song family joined forces to wipe out the Liao Kingdom. Even the king and queen of the Liao Kingdom were captured."

"At this moment, the Third Master is still in the palace, discussing with the Emperor how to reward the two young generals."

"The Third Master said to let the old lady and the Third Miss rest assured, and he will come back later to tell you the details."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady and Shen Yue smiled happily. They did not expect such a great achievement.

Li Chaoyun, who was standing by, twisted his handkerchief into a ball. Li Yunzhou actually joined forces with Song Hongshen and destroyed the Liao Kingdom. How could he not notice that his third brother Li Yunhuai was in the northern border?

The old lady was so happy that she told Aunt Hua, "Give the whole family two months' salary as a reward." She then looked at Bai Shao and Chun Tao who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Give each of you ten taels of silver."

Bai Shao was overjoyed. It was no wonder that she ran over to report the good news after hearing what he said.

Her original intention was to announce the good news to the princess, after all, that man was the princess's brother. If she could be valued by the princess, it would be even better to serve in the house.

But why does the princess look... not so happy?

Bai Shao couldn't understand it, but it was good enough to get ten taels of silver from the old lady.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the old lady felt tired and everyone left.

Su Qingyu also stood up and prepared to go back to the West Courtyard to have lunch and take a nap. After a whole morning in Qingyuan Residence, she also felt a little tired.

After leaving Qingyuanju, they saw Li Chaoyun walking back quickly not far away. Bai Shao, the messenger, approached and said something, but was slapped and kicked by Li Chaoyun.

Su Qingyu shook her head, remembering what Shen Zhixiu said last time, that a cornered dog will jump over the wall. Her brother had made such a great contribution this time, Princess Yongjia would not let it go, right?

Li Chaoyun, who returned from Qingyuanju, changed his clothes and went back to the Li family. As for Bai Shao, who reported the news, she was sold out directly on the grounds of offending the princess.

The entire Li family was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations today, and was filled with joy. The Fourth Young Master had made an unprecedented contribution, so of course they had to celebrate.

The bright red silks were blinding to Li Chaoyun. Thinking of his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew who had died for no reason, he wanted to rush forward and tear them all off.

But not only could she not do that, she also had to pretend to be returning home to congratulate.

Only when he entered the main courtyard where Princess Yongjia was did Li Chaoyun take off his disguise and put away the smile on his face. The servants in the entire main courtyard were all silent. These were Princess Yongjia's confidants, and they naturally knew that the master was in a very bad mood today.

When Li Chaoyun entered, Princess Yongjia was sitting at the table on a small couch, soaking her hands in water. This was water mixed with rose water, which could make a pair of hands white and smooth.

Seeing her daughter coming back, Princess Yongjia waved her hand and signaled the servants to go out.

Li Chaoyun sat down opposite Princess Yongjia, "Mother, you still have the mind to rest your hands. I don't know how the emperor's uncle will reward him. For such a great achievement, will he be awarded a title?"

Princess Yongjia picked up the orange on the table and peeled one for Li Chaoyun, speaking in a calm tone.

"For your contribution to expanding the territory, it is not an exaggeration to make him a king."

Li Chaoyun was immediately anxious. He took the orange and put it aside. "How could this happen? Didn't he go missing? Third brother had already succeeded, how could he escape?"

"And why was that batch of food replaced with sand?"

Princess Yongjia narrowed her sharp eyes, "Marquis Xuanwu has contributed to this."

"As for the grain, maybe Chen Ping was targeted once he left the capital."

Li Chaoyun looked at Princess Yongjia in disbelief. "Marquis Xuanwu? How are he and Li Yunzhou related? Aren't they on bad terms?"

At that time, Zhang Pan requested permission to go to the northern border to cooperate in the war. The emperor was reluctant to agree, but Princess Yongjia pleaded for him.

Because Zhang Pan wanted to renegotiate with Shen Yue before, but was rejected, and then Shen Yue was intimate with Li Yunzhou in public. In addition, Zhang Pan and Li Yunzhou had a conflict because of Shen Yue before.

Therefore, Princess Yongjia believed that if these two people got together, they would definitely look down on each other. If they wanted to get rid of Li Yunzhou, perhaps Zhang Pan could help.

But somehow, after fighting two battles together, these two men became like brothers and respected each other.

This time, Li Yunhuai's plan was first discovered by Li Yunzhou, who escaped in time. Later, under the cover of Zhang Pan, Li Yunzhou was able to successfully go to the capital of the Liao Kingdom with his elite subordinates.

Princess Yongjia gave a brief explanation, and Li Chaoyun pursed his lips tightly, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have allowed Zhang Pan to go."

Then he asked angrily, "What should we do now? Should we just let him return to Beijing in triumph?"

"He is just a wolf cub, how can he not hate us?"

Princess Yongjia had a smile on her lips, which was sinister and cold.

"Don't worry, he can't come back to the capital."

Li Chaoyun was puzzled and looked at her suspiciously.

Princess Yongjia explained: "Aren't he and Zhang Pan as close as brothers? I have already sent a message, using Zhang Pan as bait, I don't believe he won't take the bait."

"Li Yunzhou is still in Linhuangfu, the capital of Liao. If he wants to return to the capital, he must first return to the Northern Frontier Army. On the way, he will pass through Quanyan Valley, which is a place where Tartar horse thieves are rampant."

"I will have someone lead Zhang Pan over, and then have Li Yunzhou rescue him. I have already bribed the horse thieves in Quanyan Valley, and our people will also ambush there when the time comes."

"As long as Li Yunzhou goes in, there will be no return. Even if he knows it is a trap, he has to go. He cannot help but save Zhang Pan. If he really leaves Zhang Pan alone, he will lose the morale of the army."

In Princess Yongjia's view, this was an open conspiracy. She wanted to make Li Yunzhou unable to move forward or backward. She didn't believe that with her arrangement, Li Yunzhou could return to the capital safely.

After listening to Princess Yongjia's words, Li Chaoyun also felt that this plan was feasible.

He casually said, "It's just a pity. I'm afraid some of the benefits will be wasted."

If Li Yunzhou were alive, the emperor would have rewarded Li Yunzhou and the Li family at the same time. But before he could return to Beijing, he was killed by bandits, and the reward might have been used for posthumous honors and funerals. Even if a portion was given to the Li family, there would be no more in the future.

Princess Yongjia said coldly, "It doesn't matter if he dies. The benefits will only increase, not decrease."

Who made him have a good mother?

Although Li Chaoyun did not understand what Princess Yongjia meant, he did not ask any more questions.

She did not stay at the Li family for long. After the mother and daughter exchanged a few private words, Li Chaoyun got up and left.

After leaving the main courtyard and walking towards the outer courtyard, he was suddenly stopped by a guard.

"Greetings, Princess. I am Liu Sheng, a good friend of General Chen Ping. General Chen Ping wants me to give something to you, Princess."

Li Chaoyun was stunned. What was Chen Ping asking him to hand over?

Liu Sheng handed the things to Li Chaoyun's maid and left, apparently not wanting to attract attention.

Li Chaoyun didn't care and took his men on the carriage back home.

In the carriage, she opened the ordinary, even stained, bag.

Inside was an ordinary pearwood box, and inside the box was a neatly packed box of Northern Glehnia littoralis.

There was also a note on the side: "Before leaving Beijing, I saw that the princess was not feeling well and had a cough. I dug this in the north to help the princess recuperate."

Looking at the date at the bottom, it was half a month after Chen Ping left Beijing. At that time, he should still be protecting the batch of grain and fodder to Black Tiger Mountain.

Li Chaoyun felt indescribable. She had a miscarriage last winter and had not been in good health since then. Even Chen Ping noticed it and specially sent her some Adenophora acuminata.

But what about Shen Zhao? During that period, he was still flirting with the maid behind her back.

She smoothed out the paper, untied the purse at her waist and put it in.
