Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 120 The East Palace
In the afternoon, Li Xiang returned to the mansion, Li Taiwei was concerned about Li Wenxiu's matter, so he went to Yunshuiju in person, unexpectedly, he was in vain.

Mother Tian saw that she was running in a hurry, and a layer of sweat was dripping from the tip of her nose. She hurriedly asked someone to fetch water, and wrung the handkerchief herself to wipe her sweat.

"Your father has gone to Qiutang Courtyard, is A Luan in a hurry?"

Zhaohe asked Li Taiwei to sit down, and asked Jin Nanny to bring the soufflé.

Li Taiwei had no appetite, twisted a piece on his fingertips, and asked Zhaohe:

"I heard that the second uncle sprained his ankle, and asked my father to go and see it in person, but the injury is not serious?"

Showa frowned for a moment, and said:
"The foot injury shouldn't be a big deal, just take it back and rest for a few days."

"but……"

Zhaohe glanced at Nanny Jin, and Nanny Jin understood, and sent the maid who was serving in the house down.

Li Taiwei saw that Zhaohe was so cautious, so he knew that the second uncle's matter today was not easy, so he put the soufflé on the plate, and leaned towards Zhaohe's side.

Holding a fan in his hand, Zhaohe shielded his face, lowered his voice and said to Li Taiwei:
"However, the injury on your second uncle's face... I'm afraid it's too eye-catching, and it will probably take half a month to rest..."

There are still injuries on the face?
Li Taiwei said in surprise:

"Didn't Second Uncle get someone to beat you?"

Showa lowered his eyelids and sighed.

"It would be great if we could see who made the move..."

"What does mother say?"

Li Taiwei thought for a moment, then said,

"But because of Bai's matter, His Majesty was demoted from his official position, and Second Uncle was bullied?"

Zhaohe didn't respond, but looked at Li Taiwei with determination.

"It is said that when inspecting the autumn sacrificial vessels this morning, someone tripped on purpose, and the corner of his eye hit the porch pillar and broke the skin, and it swelled up quite a lot."

"I heard that his ankle was also sprained, and it was so swollen that he couldn't move. It was your father who took him back to the mansion himself. Brother Rui went to the yamen to ask for leave for him... You haven't dared to disturb your grandmother yet."

Li Taiwei looked a little sad when he heard this.

The Jingzhao Mansion conferred the holy will and convicted the Bai family and concubine brother for conspiring to seize the title of the Li family.Li Sheng was the head of the civil servants, and the status of Showa was so special. Since Li Qin was demoted two ranks in a row and punished for one year, he has received a lot of cold reception.The days in the Ministry of Rites became more and more difficult.

Not only Li Qin, but even Li Rui was struggling in the military department. He was often looked down upon by others and never regained the glory he had as the eldest son of the Li family.

Speaking of this matter, it is really the fault of the Bai family!

"Does mother have any resentment towards second uncle?"

Li Taiwei poked the shortbread with his fingertips, raised his eyes and asked Zhaohe.

Zhaohe paused for a moment with his hand shaking the fan, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and said:
"Your second uncle is honest, how could I take my anger out on him because of Mrs. Bai's viciousness?"

Mrs. Li smiled wryly, thinking of the day when her second uncle entered the mansion for Bai's coffin and begged her grandmother, she said helplessly:

"Second uncle... I'm afraid he's too loyal..."

"Since Mrs. Bai's death, Li Yao may have blamed us here...Mother's body is getting heavier, we in the Spring Garden should be more careful in the future..."

Zhaohe also heard about Li Yao being slapped by Li Rui yesterday, and couldn't help but be surprised:

"What? Sister Yao made things difficult for you?"

Li Taiwei shook his head and said:
"Mother, don't worry, she has put her mind to it, but she still doesn't have the ability!"

"Second House is in trouble right now. The first cousin and sister-in-law are both good. Although the second cousin is unpredictable, he is also sensible. Only Li Yao..."

Showa's gaze sank:

"We have nothing to do with his second wife. If Sister Yao really knows what to do, you don't have to worry about it...Our Li family's rules are not just for display!"

Li Taiwei nodded, took a few mouthfuls of cakes and didn't move, because the bruises on her back were still not healed, she got up and lay down on the soft couch for a while.

Zhaohe asked someone to cut Qiuyue pears and put them on the small table next to Li Taiwei, then sat down beside Li Taiwei himself, held her hand, and asked softly:
"I heard from your father...you have taken a fancy to Lu Shizi of the Marquis of Changping? Are you still passing on letters to Hongyan?"

Li Taiwei took a crisp bite of the pear, almost choked on hearing this, and coughed several times in succession.

But she said these nonsense to cover up for Lu Xiao back then, and now she couldn't deny it in front of Zhao He, and her expression was a bit weird for a while.

"What? Is there anything else you can't say with your mother?"

Zhaohe only thought she was shy, tapped Li Taiwei's nose lightly, and said with a smile:

"We, A Luan, finally got the hang of it... It's a good thing for our daughter to have a sweetheart in her family!"

"Although Lu Shizi didn't have a good reputation in the past, I heard from your father that he has improved a lot since he came back from the army! This time the crown prince has done a great job in saving him, and his Majesty has praised him a lot! It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, so I want to come here Lu Shizi is not too bad..."

"Speaking of which...Lu Shizi and you are not strangers..."

Li Taiwei was a little surprised:
"Mother thinks Lu Xiao is good?"

She vaguely remembered that the day she fought with Lu Xiao, her mother went there with Fengming Sword...

Zhaohe looked at Li Taiwei with a smile in his eyes:
"I heard from your father that Lu Shizi personally rescued you the day you were injured... He is the captain of the Jinwu Guard, and he is supposed to escort the prince back to the palace to return to life. But he went to the danger alone for you..."

"A Luan... Look, A Niang, he has you in his heart!"

"Otherwise, which family can accept the mother's surname for the son? He also personally promised your father that he will be the commander of the Jinwu Guard within one year, and that you will not be wronged..."

"To be honest, neither Aniang nor your father would want you to marry into the palace, let alone you marrying back to Xiliang... Power, fame, our Li family does not lack, Aniang only wants you to marry someone who can love you as much as you want." Ruyi Langjun..."

In the previous life, when Showa passed away, no one had ever spoken to her like this. Even her grandmother and aunt wanted her to marry high...

But what if Gao is married?

Guarding one side of the court, replacing a handful of black silk with frost, the coldness is still my own heart after all...

"Auntie,"

Li Taiwei leaned into Zhaohe's arms, Weng said:
"Aniang... What if I marry the wrong one? What if he treats me badly?"

Showa smiled and stroked the top of her black hair, her eyes brightened:
"It's a big deal, let's go to His Majesty to discuss an explanation! In theory, Lu Hou is not your father's opponent, in martial arts, our family still has the Fengming sword bestowed by the late emperor..."

Li Taiwei's eyes were covered with a smile after listening, her mother is really a strange woman in Xiliang!

"Ma'am, the empress has sent someone here..."

Nanny Jin opened the door and came in, her face was a little tense, and she said to Zhaohe:
"It's Nanny Yu who came and gave her a pair of purple gold bracelets that are auspicious as dragons and phoenixes..."

Showa was a little dazed:

"Didn't the empress ask someone to send a reward a few days ago? Why did you send me a bracelet again today?"

Li Taiwei's eyebrows twitched, the dragon and phoenix purple gold bracelet... This is a treasure that has only been passed down to the princess of the Eastern Palace!

Is the queen empress planning to do it herself to test the meaning of the Li family?
