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

Princess Yongjia leaned over to cover Li Jingchuan with a thin blanket and said calmly, "We have been married for so many years, do those things still matter?"

Li Jingchuan was about to stand up after hearing this, but the fifty boards he received today were real. As soon as he moved, he felt a piercing pain in his lower back.

He quickly returned to his original position, clenched his teeth to endure the pain, and squeezed out another word from between his teeth.

"Important, how can it not be important?"

Princess Yongjia's expression remained unchanged. "Yes, she sent the snacks and wrote the letter. But it was me who had feelings for you, not her."

Li Jingchuan already had the answer in his mind, but when he heard her words, his expression was still slightly hesitant.

What on earth has he done all these years?

In order to restore the former glory of Prince Shan's Mansion, he left the capital at a young age and rushed to the border town.

Before leaving, I received three boxes of snacks and a letter. The snacks smelled sweet and different from the ones usually made in the palace. The letter was full of words of encouragement, and the hand-haired flower was written in very beautiful small characters.

At that time, the Li family had already left the circle of the rich and powerful in Beijing. He didn't have many friends, so he naturally couldn't guess who it was. He couldn't bear to eat the three boxes of snacks and kept them on his back.

Later, before he reached the border town, he encountered a mountain torrent. He survived by relying on these boxes of snacks.

Later, he returned to Beijing after making great contributions in the border town. Although he did not bring the Li family back to the center of power, he also made a name for himself among the military generals.

After returning to Beijing, he met Princess Yongjia and accidentally learned that it was she who had paid attention to him and encouraged him. Li Jingchuan immediately felt warm in his heart, and the two of them became more and more close.

Later, with the support of Princess Yongjia, he gradually gained a foothold in the court, and the Li family regained control of the military power.

It can be said that the present situation of him and the Li family is largely due to Princess Yongjia. With his status at that time, he was able to marry the princess, which was the blessing of the ancestors of the Li family.

But the person he had always been thinking about was the one who could write beautiful calligraphy with flowers and make snacks.

How come everything changed?

He recalled the time in Princess Yongning's villa, because he accidentally heard Yongjia say that Yongning seemed to like him. So he drank some wine and went to Yongning's study. After the impulse, he felt guilty towards Yongjia.

So since Li Yunzhou came to the Li family, he never said a word for Li Yunzhou, and never gave him a good look. It seemed that this way, he could atone for his sins in Yongjia.

But it was wrong, everything was wrong.

Li Jingchuan's eyes were dull and his thoughts were wandering.

Princess Yongjia was not a person with a good temper. She did fall in love with Li Jingchuan at first sight, and he was still in her heart. So the more this happened, the more she could not accept that Li Jingchuan had someone else in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Princess Yongjia became furious.

"Li Jingchuan, even if I did all this, what does it matter? Isn't it because I want to marry you?"

"Also, don't you forget the treasonous things I did for you? How did Sister Yongning die, and how did you accomplish your merit?"

"If you have the guts, go and expose me. I will accompany you and the Li family to eternal damnation."

Princess Yongjia was furious. She threw her robe aside and left, not even caring about his injuries.

After leaving the main room, Princess Yongjia sent someone to call Chen Ping.

The first time he saw Chen Ping, he scolded him: "How do you do things? Why did Liu Fangcheng enter the palace? Didn't I tell you to deal with him?"

Chen Ping was also full of helplessness. Last night he instructed someone to handle this matter, and then went to find Li Chaoyun.

Unexpectedly, the people below could not beat Lin Wuchen at all. Even the painter Liu Fangcheng had kung fu skills.

The man returned empty-handed and wanted to ask Chen Ping what to do, but he couldn't find anyone there.

By the time Chen Ping crawled out of Li Chaoyun's bed, Princess Yongjia was about to return from Qianyang Palace.

Chen Ping knew that this matter was his responsibility, so he knelt on the ground and apologized without saying anything.

"Please calm down, Princess. I was careless. Please punish me."

When he said this, Chen Ping felt bitter. In fact, he should call the princess "Marquis Madam". But it was not easy to change his words for a while.

Princess Yongjia was not a soft-hearted person, and said in a cold voice, "Go and receive the thirty strokes of the cane yourself."

It was just that Chen Ping found it convenient to use. If it was someone else, she would have beaten him to death.

If it weren’t for Liu Fangcheng today, how could the Li family have lost such face?

Chen Ping responded "yes" without any hesitation.

Just as he stood up to accept his punishment, he heard a woman's gentle voice behind him.

"Mother, don't punish him."

When Chen Ping recognized it was Li Chaoyun, he immediately turned around and stopped her with his eyes.

He said, "My Lord, you don't have to plead for me. I made the mistake."

Li Chaoyun was dressed in plain mourning clothes, with only a white jade hairpin in her hair and a thin layer of powder on her face.

They say that if you want to be pretty, be filial.

But Princess Yongjia saw charm on her daughter's face while she was in mourning.

At this time, she didn't think much about it and said, "You have no right to speak. If you make a mistake, you will be punished."

Li Chaoyun walked up to Princess Yongjia, took her arm and said in a tender voice, "If mother wants to punish someone, punish me. I was delayed last night because of me."

Princess Yongjia looked at her in confusion, "What's going on?"

Li Chaoyun's face suddenly turned red, and then he whispered a few words into Princess Yongjia's ear.

Princess Yongjia's face suddenly changed, "How dare you! You are still in mourning, you..."

"You're not afraid of being found out."

Li Chaoyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will be careful and won't be discovered."

"Now that Li Yunzhou has left the Li family, we are even less afraid."

When mentioning this, Princess Yongjia recalled the Li family's demotion.

She said in a faint voice, "Chao Yun, don't call me mother anymore. The Ministry of Works will come to replace the plaque this afternoon."

Li Chaoyun already knew about this, she had just visited her father Li Jingchuan.

But she didn't think it was a big deal, as the feng shui of the capital city had always been changing.

No matter how the Li family is demoted and laughed at today, they will be able to stand at the top of the aristocratic families in the future.

People say destiny is hard to predict, but Li Chaoyun believes that everything depends on human efforts.

"Mother, whether it's the Marquis's Mansion or the Prince's Mansion, it doesn't matter. What we need to plan for is not the present, but the future."

"When my cousin the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Chen Ping and I will have a son or daughter, and they will be able to carry on the Li family's bloodline."

Princess Yongjia looked at Chen Ping. Although she was not very satisfied, what else could she say since it had already come to this?

As long as my daughter is happy and willing, that's enough.

If I really remarry my daughter into a wealthy family, the child she gives birth to will not be given to the Li family.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that Chen Ping is also suitable.

"Chen Ping, please sit down too." Princess Yongjia said lightly.

Chen Ping was flattered. Did this mean that the princess accepted him?

Several people discussed what to do next, and after they had said a few words, a servant came in to report.

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to the palace."
