Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 70
At dawn, Li Taiwei called Dafu to wake him up.

"Princess, there is a message from Madam that the father-in-law from the palace will arrive soon, and ask the princess to get up early to prepare."

Li Taiwei turned over sleepily, rubbed his eyes, and sat up from the quilt in a daze.

"Huh? Why did the princess fall asleep wearing a coat?"

Dafu saw Li Taiwei's crumpled clothes and said in surprise.

Li Taiwei regained consciousness in an instant, and looked down, wasn't it the temporary clothes last night?

Last night, she was struggling to put on and troublesome to take off, so she simply put it on and slept all night.

Li Taiwei cleared his throat, and said unnaturally:
"It was a bit cold last night. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't call you. I put on my clothes and slept."

Dafu lowered his head in shame, rubbed his head, and said:
"Yesterday, the servants really slept soundly, and they did not hear any sound."

Li Taiwei looked away guiltily, and asked:
"Has the second room got any news?"

Li's parent's house and the second house have not yet separated, and someone from the palace came to announce the decree, and the second house also had to kowtow at the scene.

Dafu looked at Li Taiwei blankly and said:
"I don't know this servant, it was Sister Nian Xia who passed on the message just now, and she just said that she would go and move Rong Zhi to the side courtyard of Yunshuiju."

Li Taiwei nodded, thinking that Xia is reliable, and she will be the most capable person in front of her mother when Jin Nanny is in retirement.

"You ask Nianxia to go to Qiutang Courtyard for a run after explaining these things, and you don't have to go to other people's houses. Tell her to go directly to the green house of the big cousin. The sister-in-law is new here, and she doesn't know these rules. Call Nianxia Talk to her in detail, so as not to go wrong in a while."

Dafu got the order and ran out quickly, almost bumping into Huayan who brought in water.

Huayan saluted, and looked at Li Taiwei with an embarrassed expression. If it wasn't for what the master said to her yesterday, she would not be able to realize where she was wrong.

She is a person who walks on the tip of a knife. She was raised in the barracks with the hidden guards since she was a child. How can she sort out these rules? Besides, she also asked the princess what she wanted yesterday.

Li Taiwei didn't take these things to heart, she asked Huayan to take care of her to freshen up, changed her clothes, ate a few snacks, and then heard the maid outside reporting that someone was coming from the palace.

When she arrived at the front hall, Li Taiwei saw Zhaohe in a fine attire and Mrs. Li in an imperial attire.

The people in the second room also arrived completely, seeing Li Taiwei being supported by Da Fuxu, everyone looked over in amazement, only the second aunt Bai's face was pale and her eyes were complicated.

Li Taiwei endured for quite a while, and then suppressed the murderous aura all over his body, so that no one else could see anything wrong.Going forward to greet everyone one by one, I heard the emperor holding his throat with the former servant Gao Eunuch, and praised himself a lot.

Mrs. Li saluted with a smile, and called Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao hurriedly bowed and said he dared not, and then praised Li Sheng, "Master Xiang is blessed!"

Li Sheng glanced at the eldest daughter who had retreated to Zhaohe's side with a smile on his face, and exchanged a few words with Eunuch Gao.

At the end, Eunuch Gao announced the decree, and everyone knelt down and shouted long live.

Li Sheng was granted the title of King Rui, with a reward of one thousand taels of gold and silver, one hundred acres of fertile land, and several carts of jewels and fine clothes.

When everyone in the Li family heard this, they all took a deep breath.

Eunuch Gao smiled and stepped forward to help Li Sheng up, and said with a smile:
"Master Xiang is the first king with a different surname since the founding of our Great Zhou Dynasty. It can be seen that His Majesty is honored and favored! I hope that Lord Xiang will help His Majesty help the country and benefit the people!"

Li Sheng's eyes were full of astonishment, he exchanged a glance with Li Qin beside him, and bowed down to refuse!

Eunuch Gao's eyes were full of satisfaction, but he said to Li Sheng:
"Master Xiang, this is His Majesty's decree. Master Xiang must not embarrass the miscellaneous families."

Li Sheng got up and said yes, glanced at Zhao He and Li Taiwei behind him, turned around and joined his second uncle Li Qin, leading Eunuch Gao to the hall.

Li Taiwei stood at the moment, a little restless.

There has never been a Wang Yi with a different surname in the previous life, and His Majesty's decree today can be said to have pushed the Li family to the forefront in an instant.

Everyone had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, and Mrs. Bai couldn't recover for a long time.

"Brother, then our Hou's Mansion...will be renamed Wang's Mansion in the future?"

Li Pu couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and asked Li Rui sideways.

Li Rui raised his hand and patted him on the head, looked up at Zhao He and Mrs. Li, and didn't know how to answer.

The second room only got the news this morning, and before they recovered from their amazement, His Majesty has rewarded them with such a great grace, and the second roomers were a little stunned.

Zhao's face turned pale from shock, and she gave Li Taiwei a grateful look.Bai Shi hasn't spoken to her since she scolded her yesterday, if it wasn't for Nian Xia coming to Qingluju to explain carefully this morning, she would have been too busy to know what to do.

"Let's all go back. I have to listen to Saburo on this matter."

It was not a problem for Mrs. Li to see that everyone was stalking, and she also took into account Zhaohe's pregnancy and Bai's recovering from a serious illness, so she spoke.

The people in the second room saluted Mrs. Li and returned to Qiutang Courtyard.

"You are twins now, and you have been tossing around for a long time. You should go back to your room and rest earlier. Twins are no better than when you were pregnant with sister Wei. Take care of yourself."

Mrs. Li instructed Zhaohe, and said to Li Taiwei:

"Miss Wei stayed here and talked with grandma."

Zhaohe looked at Mrs. Li's black and blue eyes, a little surprised that his mother-in-law wanted to let Li Taiwei talk at this moment, and it was hard to refuse at the moment, so he bowed and turned back.Before leaving, he winked at Li Taiwei and told her not to speak or act indiscriminately.

Mrs. Li agreed with a smile, and returned to Hua'an Hall with Mrs. Li.

Hongzhu fetched water, helped Mrs. Li wash and wash, and changed into elegant blue clothes.

After the tidying up was done, Mrs. Li sat beside Li Taiwei with tea, and asked Nanny Sun to retreat, and then said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty is so gracious today, what do you think?"

Li Taiwei raised her eyes and glanced at the tired-looking grandmother, but she didn't hide it, and said frankly:
"Your Majesty is going to attack Prince Chun."

Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat, but there was a hint of admiration in her eyes:

"What do you say, Miss Wei?"

Li Taiwei said:

"Nine counties and thirteen continents in the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of them have already been divided up by several princes. Where did His Majesty get the extra fief for my father, the king of the opposite sex?"

"Today, the fertile fields His Majesty bestowed are all around Prince Chun's fiefdom. My granddaughter guesses... I'm afraid Your Majesty has already planned for this. The matter of Dayan relics just happened to give His Majesty an excuse to attack."

"It's not just Prince Chun's mansion...I'm afraid that the fiefdoms in the hands of all princes should be moved...All the kings are their own, eating away at the foundation of the Great Zhou. Although His Majesty controls the princes in the capital, after all, the age is not forgiving. Man, the crown prince's foundation is still shallow, I guess His Majesty will gather the imperial power before the crown prince ascends the throne, and give the prince a peaceful and prosperous age..."

With a "bang", the teacup in Mrs. Li's hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Before Nanny Sun stepped forward to clean up, Mrs. Li held Li Taiwei's hand and said in a trembling voice:
"If you were a boy...you would definitely not lose to your father..."

Li Taiwei smiled and remained silent for a long time.

　The temperature suddenly dropped today,

　　Are you dressed warmly?
