Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 7 Aunt
When I woke up from a nap, it was time to hold the lamps.

Huichun came in with the oil lamp in his hand, turned on the wick, put on the golden flower cover, and the room was softly brightened.

Nian Xia waited for Li Taiwei to freshen up, and poured tea for her.

The best green smoked tea in Mianzhou is clear and sweet.

Every year when the Empress Dowager got this tribute, she would pack a box and send it to the Li family. This is the only one among the royal family!

Mrs. Li squinted her eyes slightly, took a sip of tea, and felt very comfortable all over her body.

After a while, Huichun came in with ice, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and applied Li Taiwei's eyes.

Although there is still a bit of heat in August, it is autumn after all.Li Taiwei felt his face was cold and stinging, and couldn't help turning his head away from Huichun's hand.

"Princess, bear with it, I will apply it to you for a while, otherwise the swelling will not go away tomorrow."

Huichun put the handkerchief on again, and persuaded:
"Tomorrow, the second lady should go back to the house to visit relatives. If the second son sees the princess like this, maybe he will laugh at you!"

"He dares!"

Li Taiwei hissed, but finally did not hide anymore.

Mrs. Li gave birth to two sons and a daughter together. The eldest son, Li Qiangang and the weak crown, went to the battlefield with the army and died young.

The second daughter Li Shu married Fenyang Wang Minghuai as his concubine, lived in Pingzhou for a long time, and had a son and a daughter with Fenyang Wang.

The third son is Li Taiwei's father, Li Sheng, who later succeeded the Marquis and became the current Marquis of Zhongyong, who also holds the post of prime minister.

Today's second master, Li Qin, was not actually born of her grandmother, but was born in Mrs. Li's concubine.

At that time, Mrs. Li was behind Mrs. Li's back, raised a concubine in private, and gave birth to a son, who was only one year older than Li Taiwei's father.

When the child was ten years old, the concubine died of illness, and then Mrs. Li made the decision to bring the concubine into the Hou Mansion for education.

Mrs. Li made a big fuss when she found out, but she had no choice but to bear with it and bring up the child.

But at that time, the second master was already well-versed in personnel affairs, and he was separated from Mrs. Li by a layer. Although he was respectful and filial, he was not close.

Later, the second master got married and married Bai Shi, the daughter-in-law of the Yongping uncle's mansion.Before getting engaged, the old lady made the decision to adopt the second master to the eldest room, occupying the title of the first son, and completely embarrassing the second master.

From then on, the second master became more filial to Mrs. Li.

The second wife, Mrs. Bai, has successively added two sons and a daughter to the Li family since she married in.Mrs. Bai is strict with her children, which is very close to Mrs. Li's wishes.

The second aunt Bai's temperament is modest, and she is from a scholarly family. She has always respected Mrs. Li, and she can't fault her for serving her properly. Mrs. Li loves the second room more and more.

In comparison, her mother, Princess Showa, is not so favored by Mrs. Li.

At that time, Zhaohe and Dazhou had a fixed date, but the king of Xiliang died of illness unexpectedly.

Zhao He lived and observed his father's filial piety for three years before he was able to marry. After finally marrying into Li's family, he was unable to conceive for a long time.

After eating a lot of prescriptions, she didn't get Li Taiwei until the third year after marriage.During childbirth, he suffered a collapse again, and narrowly saved his life. Since then, his stomach has never moved.

Zhaohe is the youngest daughter of the King of Xiliang, and the only little princess of Xiliang, who has been held in the palm of the king of Xiliang since she was a child.Xiliang didn't have so many rules and etiquettes, and Zhaohe's actions have always been reckless and straightforward. Since he married here, he has often caused Mrs. Li to worry.

Although the second wife is more favored, she is kind and friendly with their eldest wife.

The first cousin, Li Rui, just got married last month and married Zhao Mengjing, the concubine daughter of Zhao Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He is currently working in the Ministry of War and is in charge of documents.

The fourth cousin, Li Yao, and Li Taiwei are one year old. She has a quiet and well-behaved personality, very much like the Bai family, which pleases Mrs. Li very much.

Only the second cousin, Li Pu, is the same age as Li Taiwei, only half a month older than her, he looks like a monkey!The often annoyed Li Taiwei gritted her teeth!

"Why are you serving? Where's Mama Tian? I haven't seen her yet when I returned home today."

Li Taiwei's drowsiness had just faded away, and she spoke in a tone of arrogance.

Mother Tian is Li Taiwei's wet nurse, who has taken care of her daily life since she was a child, and is in charge of her house affairs.

Hui Chun paused with her fingertips when she heard the words, Fang wanted to open her mouth, then turned to look at Nian Xia.

Nian Xia was laying the silk quilt on top of each other, when she turned around, she heard Li Taiwei's question, looked at Hui Chun, and said:

"Mother Tian went to the aunt's place. She didn't know that the princess would be able to return to the mansion today, and she should be here in two days."

In her previous life, Li Taiwei was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she made a special trip to come back, but she didn't remember why Mama Tian went to her aunt's place.

Holding the teacup, Li Taiwei raised his eyelids and asked:
"What are you going to Fenyang Prince's Mansion for? Auntie has something to do? Don't you usually go to the old lady with her ex-son's grandma?"

After saying that, Nian Xiamo was silent, looking a little embarrassed, as if he was thinking about how to say it to her.

Mrs. Li thought for a moment, remembered something, frowned and said:
"Could it be that the king of Fenyang brought up his concubine again?"

Nian Xia was startled, but Hui Chun blurted out:

"Who says no, this is the sixth room!"

"Echun!"

Nian Xia shouted loudly, Hui Chun was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and covered her mouth.

The princess has not yet left the cabinet, and Nanny Jin has repeatedly warned about this matter, and she must not mention it in front of the girls.

"Okay, Mother Tian is in my house, so don't hide it from me, how does the old lady know about this?"

Li Taiwei blew on the floating leaves in the tea bowl and took a sip.

Nian Xia calmed down and said:

"It was Madam Li who was next to the princess who secretly sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the princess would fall ill as soon as someone carried her through the door, and she didn't dare to let the old lady know about it."

"Ma'am, don't worry. Nanny Jin is getting older and can't stand running around, so she asked Mother Tian to go to Pingzhou to find a chance to comfort the princess."

What is the use of light comfort?

Li Taiwei's expression darkened.

Her uncle, King Fenyang, is not able to support the wall. Although he occupies the position of the royal family, he is only a distant cousin of the Holy Majesty.

Speaking of which, he was also born in Jiangmen, and he didn't earn a lot of fame, but he is good at lusting for women!Zeng also worked as an errand in the capital, but later he messed up the errand and asked the emperor to rush him to Pingzhou to take a slack post.

Since her aunt married, the King of Fenyang took in two side concubines in the second year, and later brought in several beautiful concubines, even the concubines kept outside, which cannot be counted on one hand.

Her aunt's life was not going well!

I heard that the King of Fenyang got a beautiful woman from somewhere back then, and because of his favor, he made things difficult for her aunt, almost forcing the eldest aunt to hang herself!
If it wasn't for her mother, Princess Zhaohe, who was eight months pregnant and carrying the Fengming Sword bestowed by the emperor, and single-handedly broke into the Fenyang Palace, her aunt's grave would be as tall as a person now!

It is also because of this reason that the eldest aunt treated her mother very kindly, but the Fenyang Palace and her Zhongyonghou Palace have been married since then, except for sending some gifts to the old lady during the festivals, there is not much contact with each other .

This time, the trouble came to my mother, and it was actually to marry a concubine again!

Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes slightly.

Thinking of her previous life, with her power, she could strangle a bastard like King Fenyang to death with just one finger, and she couldn't help feeling a little resentful in her heart.

Fortunately, in her previous life, her great uncle, the King of Fenyang, didn't last long. She died of illness before she became the Princess Protector. It is said that her body was hollowed out by wine and sex, and she finally died in the bed of an aunt!
Gee...

Li Taiwei felt a pity thinking about it now.

If he could die later, the Fengming Sword in her hand would not be still the virgin sword.

"The princess is relieved, my aunt has survived these years, and now I just need to wait for the young master to get married and claim the title, so that I can live a more comfortable life."

Seeing that Li Taiwei's face was not looking well, Nian Xia comforted her.

Mentioning her eldest cousin Mingcheng, Li Taiwei's heart sank.
