Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 41
Princess Dou couldn't sit still anymore.

She really didn't expect that Shi, the palace chief, would collude with the Yang family!Fortunately, because she is related to Mrs. Chang Shi, the other party often comes to please her, and she considers their husband and wife as her own people who can win over.Although she didn't treat them as confidantes yet, she would not avoid Mrs. Changshi for some not-so-secret matters, and she even complained about her mother's family in front of her.

Concubine Dou looked back and remembered how many times she had been tricked by Li Dai, lost face in front of others, and even quarreled with some members of the Dou family.She never doubted them, she thought that there were too many eyes and ears of Li Dai in Sui Palace, even her courtyard was not clean.She changed the entourage serving in the main courtyard twice, which made King Sui unhappy. He thought she was troublesome, so he simply brought his eldest grandson to live in the front courtyard.

The root cause turned out to be in the Wangfu Changshi and his wife!

Concubine Dou remembered that she had ordered Mrs. Chang Shi some things yesterday, asking her to ask Chang Shi to deal with the Chen family, and immediately stood up.She suspected that the couple might be doing bad things in secret, and she really didn't want to make enemies with the Chen family.After all, the Chen family is the in-laws of the Sui Palace and Li Lijun's natal family. The relationship is too tense, and the little granddaughter will be in trouble in the future.

So she immediately ordered Shen Jiang to take Li Lijun back to the water pavilion in the garden together with Mrs. Shao, Erhong and others.

Li Lijun didn't want to go back, she wanted to go back to the mourning hall to chant scriptures for her mother Chen, but Princess Dou refused: "You have been out for a long time today, and you are tired enough. The future will be long, and your mother also hopes that you will heal your injuries as soon as possible. Why bother?" For a while? Let’s go back today and come back tomorrow, otherwise when it’s the day of the funeral, how can your small body survive the long journey?!”

After she finished speaking, she forcefully ordered Erhong to carry Li Lijun on her back, and watched them enter the second gate personally.

Li Lijun had no choice but to give up the resistance.

When Li Lijun was carried back to the water pavilion by Erhong, cleaned his hands, changed his clothes, and settled down on the couch again, Mammy Cui came back with a few women.

They followed Li Lijun to the mourning hall at the front today, and they each had errands, so they were not in front of the little master all the time.Whenever they are alone, someone will always come to them in private to inquire about things.In this afternoon alone, the concubine of Jiyin County and several noble ladies of the clan, Jin Ruren and his wife Huang, the birth mother of Li Lijun's second uncle Li Jiu, and Cang Niangzi, the wet nurse of Dalang Li Jianrang, separated successively. Get in touch with them.

Nanny Cui and the others had been instructed by Li Lijun long ago, so they naturally knew what to reveal to them, and in what tone to reveal it.So far, the effect is quite good, and no one doubts their statement for the time being.

The Princess of Jiyin County and the others are mainly concerned about Li Lijun's health and situation. Knowing that she is now recuperating in the garden, they are quite at ease. They should take good care of the little master and give more comfort.As for Li Dai's handling of the injury of his youngest daughter, some of them were not used to it, and complained a few words, but this was after all the housework of the Sui Palace, and the Sui King didn't speak, so they were also reluctant to say much.

However, staying with them to listen to the news was a county concubine who had a deep friendship with Xiao Yang.After she heard Nanny Cui's words, her complexion was not very good-looking.She used to be able to brag about Li Yanjun with her eyes closed, but now she doesn't even have the courage to say that her child is ignorant.In her opinion, Li Yanjun deserved to be cut to death if he murdered his daughter-in-law.And Xiao Yang didn't stop her daughter, and even took the initiative to cover up the aftermath for her, which is even more stupid!
The imperial concubine is already dead, no matter if Xiao Yang wants to restore justice or not, there is no need to make things difficult for the daughter left by the Chen family. Instead, you should care more about this child, so that King Sui and Li Dai can see how virtuous and benevolent she is. To be worthy of the honor of a concubine is what a lady of the clan should do.If Xiao Yang wants to plan an heir for his son, there is no need to make plans on the husband's daughter, but should focus on Li Jianrang, the eldest son!Those things she did were vicious and stupid, and she didn't get any benefit. Instead, she got her own daughter in, and her own son might be hurt at any time.Being friends with such a person is simply lowering one's own class!
The county concubine didn't even finish her sentence, so she turned around and left in a hurry.After she left, several princesses and wives of the county whispered, saying that the former went to visit Mrs. Qin's mansion yesterday, and mentioned the troubles Xiao Yang was currently facing, but the other party dismissed her very coldly. He also disliked her coming to the door just after leaving the bereavement house, which was too unlucky.

The county concubine lowered her figure to hang out with Xiao Yang for a long time, flattering Xiao Yang's concubine everywhere, the purpose was just to take advantage of her family sister relationship with Mrs. Qin to become a noble concubine for her own benefit.She never expected that Xiao Yang claimed that her close relationship with Mrs. Qin was so fragile. The latter didn't have much sisterly affection for her at all. present.

The princess of the county, who has suffered such a great grievance, feels even more uncomfortable when she hears the great achievements of Xiao Yang's family in the Sui Palace.Did she call Xiao Yang a joke?Did this group of sisters-in-law watch the joke? !

She left in a huff, but Princess Jiyin and the others couldn't help but lament that she had gone the wrong way and wasted all her time.In fact, if she wanted to ask the sisters of the Yang family to do something, she would flatter her a little more, and then give her a big gift. For ordinary things, the sisters of the Yang family had no reason not to agree.There was no need for Xiao Yang to pull the strings, but she made herself a big detour, and she still didn't know what the final result would be.

After Madam Cui finished talking about this matter, she recited the Buddha: "This princess of the county has often made things difficult for our lady in the past. If she doesn't come to our Sui Palace in the future, the little lady can enjoy a few more days of peace. !"

Li Lijun was thoughtful.It seems that because of Xiao Yang's filial piety, she can no longer accompany Mrs. Qin to flatter her all the time, her relationship with the latter will become increasingly distant, and those noble ladies who used to surround her will also neglect her .Xiao Yang's filial piety must be worn for at least a year.This year is enough to do a lot of things.

Mother Cui mentioned Jin Ruren and Huang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again.

Jin Ruren was the concubine of King Sui. She was born in an official family and gave birth to Li Jiu. The King of Sui asked her to be named Ruren of the fifth rank.There were few people in the backyard of King Sui, and she was already the most honorable one besides the main concubine. She was cautious in her daily activities and didn't like to make trouble, so the two concubines of King Sui tolerated her.She didn't get along very well with her daughter-in-law Huang, they often bickered and had a little temper, but they acted in unison when things happened.They didn't express any opinion about the news they heard from Li Lijun's mother-in-law, they just paid the money and left.

Li Jianrang's wet nurse asked very detailed questions. She had to ask some questions over and over again, and asked different people to ask the same questions, and then compared everyone's answers.If Nanny Cui hadn't instructed her subordinates to prepare the manuscript in advance and confessed, she might have accidentally said something wrong.Fortunately, they managed to fool the Cang lady in the end.

Li Lijun recalled how this Lady Cang was in charge of Li Jianrang in the past, and wondered secretly, could she be the loyal servant of the Dayang family who informed Mrs. Yang?
Thinking of Princess Dou's goodwill released today, Li Lijun decided to reciprocate.She called Madam Cui closer, and said in a low voice, "Everyone is doing very well today, next... If anyone still asks you, just do as I tell you." She whispered her thoughts.

Cui Mama was taken aback: "Little lady wants to take the initiative to publicize the thieves in our east courtyard? What should the king do if he finds out?!"
