Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 75
After Li Taiwei returned to the residence, he went straight to Yunshuiju.

Zhao He was instructing Tian's mother to pack out the autumn clothes, and when Li Taiwei came back, he smiled:
"Aluan is back"

Zhaohe stretched out his hand to tell her to sit down, and asked a few questions about today's banquet at the Jin Mansion. He caught a glimpse of a huge brocade bundle in Dafu's hand, and asked curiously:
"What is this hiding?"

Li Taiwei asked Dafu to bring Zhaohe to him, and opened the package, revealing the delicate and unique sachets inside, and a burst of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance rushed towards him.

"The fourth girl of the Jin family asked me to bring it back to the mansion. She said it can drive away evil spirits and avoid filth. After a while, I will ask Nian Xia to be assigned to the servants of the mansion. It is also a good opportunity."

Zhaohe nodded and smiled, told Nianxia to put it away, and said:
"The fourth girl of the Jin family is honest. This big bag of sachets required many embroiderers in the Huafu, and they gave you all of their brains."

Li Taiwei nodded and said yes, but Li Sheng was nowhere to be seen, and asked:

"Hasn't father returned to the mansion yet? What did His Majesty say today?"

Zhaohe glanced at Tian's mother, Tian's mother understood, and dismissed all the waiters.

Showa then said:
"Your father came back before dinner, and now he is talking with Mr. Wenxiu in the study. His Majesty insisted on conferring the title of prince. Your father refused to accept the land and gold and silver because of the severe drought in Annan County. Your Majesty." That's how it should be."

Zhaohe looked towards the window, then lowered his voice, and said to Li Taiwei:
"Prince Chun's Mansion got the news early in the morning that there is a Dayan relic hidden in the Golden Buddha. Today, before dawn, he knelt in front of Fengxian Hall. When your father returned to the mansion, he heard that he was still in the palace."

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows slightly.

This Prince Chun is quite astute, and he can really let go of his figure. It's a pity that His Majesty's plan is already a certainty, and it can't change anything at this time.Besides, Prince Chun's handwriting is not clean, His Majesty prefers to be the first to take him out, which shows that he hates him very much.

"Is there any movement from the other princes? Has anyone come to His Majesty to intercede for Prince Chun?"

Li Taiwei thought for a while and asked.

Zhaohe also heard Li Sheng say a few words about this when he returned home, but he didn't know very clearly at the moment, so he shook his head and said:
"I didn't hear your father talk about it, but in the next afternoon, Prince Yi's mansion sent someone to send congratulatory gifts."

"Prince Yi?"

Mrs. Li frowned slightly:
"He doesn't have much contact with our family, how can he be so considerate today?"

Prince Yi is the emperor's cousin, he doesn't hold real power in his hands, he is an idle prince, and he doesn't bother to make friends with the dignitaries in the court on weekdays.Because of this, His Majesty is very popular with him, and he is often called to accompany him in the palace. Even in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion, he often seeks out Prince Yi to talk to relieve boredom.
In the previous life, the crown prince passed away, and the previous dynasty was in great turmoil. His Majesty was in great grief and dealt with many princes and dignitaries in private. Only this Prince Yi was able to stay out of the incident and was safe and sound.Later, when Li Taiwei and Lu Xiao came to power and controlled the government and the harem, Prince Yi became more and more a show.

But Li Taiwei vaguely remembered that this Prince Yi should be very close to Prince Chun in private.She stole the Golden Buddha from Prince Chun's mansion, and she made such a big mess for Prince Chun's mansion, how could Prince Yi come to give gifts to her mansion at this moment?

Showa held his chin and thought for a moment, then said:
"I'm also surprised. Except for banquets in the palace, it's rare to see this Princess Yi. Today is really rare."

Li Taiwei was afraid that she would be hurt during pregnancy, so she changed the subject:
"Apart from Prince Yi's Mansion, are there other families coming today?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion was only awarded today, and it will take a day or two for the news to spread in Beijing. Most of the people who came to congratulate him today are relatives of the Li family.

"People came to Uncle Yongping's residence in the afternoon. I was taking a nap at that time, and your father entered the palace again, so I asked your second aunt to take him to the Qiutang courtyard to talk. Fortunately, your second uncle is also here today. in the mansion."

"I only heard about this when I woke up, so I asked Nanny Jin to go to Qiutang Courtyard for me. Now that Nanny Jin hasn't come back, I'm afraid people from Yongpingbo's residence are still in the residence."

When Li Taiwei heard that the Bai family had come from the Yongping uncle's mansion, his brows and eyes turned cold.

"Mother, can you hear who is from the Bai family?"

Zhaohe didn't notice Li Taiwei's face changed, he thought for a while, and said:
"I heard that the third master of the Bai family came with his wife. The concierge came to report that Uncle Yongping's mansion had given him a big gift. Your father has been busy in the study since he came back. It's a bit impolite to say that. gone."

When Li Taiwei heard the words, there was a layer of frost in his eyes, and he didn't dare to let Zhaohe see it, so he got up and said:
"Daddy is the Prime Minister of a country. He is busy with important affairs. He is no less leisurely than others. The Bai family will not blame him."

"Since I'm back, it's still early, so I'd better go to Qiutang Courtyard to greet the third wife of the Bai family."

Showa's eyes immediately stained with a smile:

"You child, it's not a good thing to do when you're young, but it's good that you're more sensible now. It's better for you to go there in person than Jinmao."

Zhaohe personally sent Li Taiwei out of the house, Nian Xia lit the lanterns and sent Li Taiwei away again.

When passing the yard in front of Li Sheng's study, Li Taiwei caught a glimpse of two blurred figures cast on the window paper, and frowned secretly.

This Li Wen cultivated by his father's side will be a serious problem in the future!
When she gets rid of Bai's party first, the forces behind this person must be rooted out!
After leaving the Spring Garden, Dafu took the lantern from Nianxia's hand and walked in the front to light the way for Li Taiwei.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Taiwei waved to Huayan behind her, and whispered to her.

When Dafu turned around, he realized that Huayan was gone, and his face showed surprise.

Li Taiwei knew that Huayan's skills would not be able to hide from Dafu sooner or later, so she briefly told her these things in Xiliang dialect in a low voice, and told her to keep Huayan's identity a secret.

Dafu covered his mouth and nodded again and again, before he had time to ask more carefully, the two walked to the gate of Qiutang courtyard.

As soon as the guard at the gate saw Li Taiwei, he stepped forward to salute and bowed to lead her in.

The lights on the other side of the flower hall were brightly lit, Mrs. Li listened to the faint chatter and laughter, and then she regained her concentration.

"The princess is here!"

Qin Nanny's eyes were sharp, seeing Li Taiwei and his party coming, she hurriedly reported to the hall.

As soon as Li Taiwei opened the curtain and came in, Bai Shi stood up and greeted her.

"Why is Miss Wei here?"

Bai's eye sockets were swollen, and a thick face powder was applied on his face. Because of Xue's incident, he was hurt a lot, and his smile was a bit forced.

"Come and meet your third uncle and aunt."

Li Taiwei stared at Bai for a moment, as if the Guanyin mole between her eyebrows had lost the familiarity of the past, and she was much older.

This is the elder she has always respected in her heart. She has been blind for two lifetimes!It is only now that I can see that there is a vicious heart hidden under the face of this Bodhisattva
Mrs. Bai asked Li Taiwei to see this inexplicably, and heard Li Taiwei say in doubt:
"Second aunt's complexion is not very good these days, don't take anything to heart, but take care of yourself"

Bai Shi asked her to poke at the center, and was a little speechless for a while.

Li Taiwei turned around and glanced around the flower hall, besides the second uncle and the second aunt, the third-bedroom couple of the Yongping uncle's mansion, and the eldest cousin Li Rui and his wife were also in the room.

Li Taiwei stepped forward and bowed his knees to salute everyone. When he looked at the third room of the Bai family, he endured and endured, so that he did not show any killing intent, and called out "Third Master, Third Madam."

The Bai family couple responded shallowly, and the third lady Bai got up and praised Li Taiwei very much.

Bai Shi followed up and said with a smile:
"It's all my own family, don't worry about it."

Only then did Bai ask someone to move a stool for Li Taiwei to sit down, and Huayan walked in from the outside.

Mrs. Li frowned slightly and looked over with displeasure:
"How to come empty-handed? Things?"

Huayan saluted everyone, bowed and said:

"Going back to the princess, there were officers and soldiers riding horses on the street just now. I heard that they went to Qu Liusi to arrest someone, so it was delayed. When the boy went, Taibai Building had just closed."

The third master of the Bai family was leaning over to serve tea, when he heard the sound, his body froze, and he suddenly turned to look over.
