proud wife and concubine

Li Yuerong was thinking about Xiao Xueqiong in her heart, and after returning from the palace, she was not interested in doing anything, and the matter of going to the suburban racecourse with Li Xu that she had agreed a few days ago was shelved.The older sister doesn't love her, the older brother doesn't care, Li Xu feels he has fallen out of favor, and in a fit of rage, he leaves only a book and goes to the Lushan hot springs with a few aristocratic princes.

"After my sister finds out that she left the book, she will definitely send someone to chase me back. Huh, whoever told her to ignore me, I will ignore her when the time comes." With such naive thoughts, Li Xu rode a little white horse, arrogantly set off.

On the third day after Li Xu left, Li Yuerong suddenly asked the maid Xiaodie in amazement: "Hey, why haven't I seen Xu'er for a long time?"

The corner of Xiaodie's mouth twitched: "The king of Chu went to the Lushan Palace three days ago, and you sent someone to follow you, princess."

"Oh, I forgot, I just said how the house is so clean recently."

......

A few days later, Li Yuerong finally decided to go directly to the palace to find her father's beggar after a long period of thinking and entanglement. At this time, Li Xu sent someone to send a letter back.In the letter, he vividly and detailedly described his tragic experience of being in danger in the water and almost being choked to death. Li Yuerong read the entire five pages of paper with a blank expression, and finally found the finishing touch on the last page: my brother is good at swimming!

Li Yuerong didn't take it seriously until she saw the half-turned "Qingyun Female Medical Officer" on her desk.That's right, this is a legendary novel based on the ups and downs of the legendary female medical officer who was born in a slave house and was an official to the history of imperial physicians.

Li Yuerong rose up against the case, immediately repaired a book, sent someone to send it to Li Xu quickly, and said: "Brother, return quickly, sister has something important to discuss."

When Li Xu received the letter in the middle of the night, he thought that something urgent had happened, so he rode his horse back to the city before dawn. wait for him.

"Sister, what happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just sit down and have a cup of tea, look at your sweat."

"Sister, just tell me, I can hold on."

"Okay, sister has something to ask you to help."

"What's the matter, sister, just talk! Did Zhao Xu steal someone outside! I'll beat him up for you!"

Li Yuerong almost choked to death without swallowing a sip of water.

"Cough, cough...Ah Xu, why do you miss your brother-in-law so much? He's still pretty good."

"Hmph, sister, don't hide it from me. I thought something was wrong with him when I was in Yunzhong's hometown! He always looks at you with evasive and timid eyes. Isn't it because he has a ghost in his heart? He always uses excuses to stay If you don’t go home from the military camp, the wife at home is so beautiful, would a normal man behave like this?”

Li Yuerong supported his forehead: "Here, A Xu, I will tell you about this later, it is indeed not for this reason that I am looking for you today."

"What is that?" Li Xu was puzzled.

"Sister wants you to take a swim in Shenbi Lake in the harem."

"What?" Li Xu thought he had heard wrong.

Next, Li Yuerong explained his rescue plan in detail, of course he did not forget to exaggerate how deep his relationship with sister Xueqiong was, how pitiful sister Xueqiong was, and how hateful Li Zhi was.

However, Li Xu is not stupid, he quickly got to the point: "You want me to pretend to fall into the water to be rescued by that maid surnamed Xiao, and then beg Father to forgive her crimes and grant her a good citizenship?"

"What's the surname Xiao? Xueqiong was born on the second day of the second lunar month. You have to call her sister Xueqiong!"

"Tch, I don't even call my elder sister Yuyao." Li Xu rolled his eyes, "How could I have fallen into the water for no reason? Besides, Father already knew that you and the surnamed Xiao knew each other, and that Sixth Brother and her If there is a problem, if you come out like this again, a discerning person will know that it is just a show."

"That's not necessarily true. Everyone in my family knows that you are a landlubber and can't swim. They naturally think that I won't make fun of my brother's life." Li Yuerong was very proud.

"You have the nerve to say it." Li Xu muttered.

Li Yuerong ignored him and continued: "As long as you play well enough, they will definitely believe it. The eunuchs and maids in your palace are all arranged by me, and I will take care of them, even if you really can't swim in the lake. , there are people who can save you. Of course, you can just splash a few times by the lake, but don’t swim in the middle of the lake.”

"Even if the father and the others believe it, if they want to reward Xiao Xueqiong, they may not necessarily return her good status. She is a remnant of the previous dynasty. As for begging the father to let her out of the palace, I am not the one to say, it is definitely useless. The father is willing, Concubine Wei Can you be willing? Besides, the matter of the harem is not decided by the emperor alone, isn't there still Concubine Liang?" Li Xu still felt that this plan was full of loopholes.

"The queen's seat is empty. Concubine Liang is only temporarily in charge of the harem, and the final decision is still made by the father. In fact, whether this matter can be fulfilled is up to you. After you are rescued, you must stalk the father to show that you love Xue. How grateful Joan was, how it fell in love at first sight."

Li Xu was about to piss in fright: "What the hell is love at first sight, sister, you can't cheat me, I'm not married yet!"

Li Yuerong patted Li Xu's back to comfort him: "You, you are still too young. Think about it, Li Zhi wants to ask for someone from his father, and you also ask for someone from his father. If the two argue, who will it be in the end?" If it doesn’t work, wouldn’t Li Zhi’s little plan be in vain? Besides, there are already groups of concubines in Li Zhi’s mansion, and they are going to get married soon, and you are still a young virgin with a spring heart. If you are the father, I will also reward you."

"When Xueqiong is out of the palace, I'll do another trick. A great event can be expected." Li Yuerong almost praised her wit.

"Sister, this matter can't be reckless, let's discuss it with fourth brother..."

"I've already talked to him, and he said it's fine if you don't mind."

"But..." Li Xu still wanted to struggle.

"Ah Xu, this matter is done. From now on, you can leave the palace whenever you want to play, and you can play whatever you want; if this matter is messed up, you can obediently wait until you get married at the age of 16." Come out."

"..."

"Father called me into the palace tomorrow. I'll go and check his tone first to see if that little bastard Li Zhi has said anything. You pack up your things before it's too late. You can go back to the palace in a few days."

When Li Yuerong was younger, especially before her mother passed away, Li Ji was an omnipotent hero in her heart.

At that time, she devoted herself to studying, riding and archery, and managing accounts and housekeeping, so that her father would like her more.

In all fairness, among the four daughters, Li Ji dotes on her the most.But this love is not enough when compared with a few brothers.Li Yuerong still remembers that when Li Ke was learning to write, Li Ji would ask him almost every day if he learned new characters today, and if he reviewed yesterday's characters. Whenever Li Ke made a little progress or slackened a little, Li Ji would be happy or happy. Talk angrily for a long time.Later, the younger brothers grew up a lot, and Li Ji liked Li Zhen again. Although Li Yuerong didn't want to admit that kind of trusting and admiring eyes, she was indeed jealous.What the brothers can get easily, she has spent all her efforts in vain in the end.

Up to now, Li Yuerong's feelings for Li Ji are much more complicated, there is also hatred and love, respect and fear, so much so that she has to spend a long time guessing the other party's intentions just to meet in the palace.

"Yuerong has grown up, but she has become more reserved." Li Ji looked at Li Yuerong standing in front of him, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

Li Yuerong smiled, but still stood without speaking.

"Sit down and play chess with daddy." Li Ji sighed.

Only then did Li Yuerong sit down, and the two of them took one step at a time, occasionally saying something innocuous.

"You must have known about Zhao Xu's success. He has made a great contribution this time." Li Ji said as he settled down.

"It's just a group of mountain thieves, my father is exaggerating."

Li Ji shook his head, showing that he disagreed: "It's not an ordinary bandit, I... Daddy doesn't even know how to reward him."

"It's only natural for the ministers to share the worries of the emperor. Why should the emperor be upset?"

Li Ji smiled: "If that's the case, no one would be willing to serve the imperial court anymore. My original intention was to mention Zhao Xu as the general of Huaihua from the first rank to the third rank, but he is not yet in his prime, and his seniority in the army is not considered deep. Bandits are not serious military exploits, and it is inevitable that some people will object, so I am not sure for a while.

Li Yuerong sneered three times in his heart, but said on his mouth: "The concerns of the courtiers are indeed not unreasonable. Father still makes up his own mind. Zhao Xu will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

Li Ji was obviously very satisfied with this answer: "Zhao Xu is not an outsider, but now that a new dynasty is established and the foundation is not stable, we still have to take all forces into consideration."

"What Emperor Father said is true." Li Yuerong didn't say much, but before, she would have had a long discussion with Li Ji.

"Liulang begged me for a palace maid to return to the mansion before. She is Emperor Xiao's daughter. You and her seem to be old acquaintances."

Li Yuerong's mind was shocked, and the chess piece that was raised in the air forgot where it should land.

What kind of character Li Ji is, Li Yuerong's panic can be seen at a glance: "Yuerong don't have to worry, I didn't agree."

"I, Royal Father..."

"Hey, Yue Rong, don't panic, I know you miss her. Speaking of which, she can be regarded as a relative of our Li family. I want to give her to Zhao Xu as a concubine. I don't know what you want?"

Li Yuerong was a little puzzled: "Being Zhao Xu's concubine?"

"Isn't it a beautiful thing for the king to reward a beauty for his meritorious service?"

"There are tens of thousands of beauties, why did the emperor choose her?" Li Yurong subconsciously wanted to refuse, she didn't want Xiao Xueqiong to be wronged as a concubine.

Seeing that Li Yuerong disapproved, Li Ji thought that she was afraid that others would divide her husband's favor, so he said earnestly: "You and Zhao Xu have been married for nearly three years and have no heirs, and Zhao Xu dare not favor concubine Ji. He can bear it for a while But in the long run, it is not a solution. Now I will give Xiao Xueqiong to him. First, you can control it, and second, it will show the generosity of my Li family. Isn’t it a good thing to have the best of both worlds? I heard that the child looks like a sign, so I will go to your sixth brother’s house as a slave. It's a pity for the maid too."

Li Yuerong remained silent.

"Zhao Shize is going to the imperial capital soon. He doesn't want to be the imperial supervisor, but he is willing to come to the capital. I think he is mostly for Zhao Xu. He is the leader of the southern scholars. Don't underestimate Yue Rong. Let me remind Zhao Xu to let Zhao Shi know that although our Li family is a royal family, we are also in-laws of the Zhao family."

After a game of chess, Li Yuerong said with a smile: "My child lost. This is indeed a beautiful thing, I will go to support Xueqiong right away, and ask my father to issue an edict to register her as a slave."

The author has something to say: Sister Xueqiong's life in the palace is coming to an end soon~

Routine?
