Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 441 Warning
Li Dai had something on his mind, and after giving instructions to his wife, he left in a hurry.

Now he has also summoned a few noble children of the clan who are of good background, who are idle officials but are motivated to make progress. They often eat and drink together when they have nothing to do, and discuss with them when they encounter problems, just like a staff.In order to persuade the other party to use them for him, he also used his wife's family connections to give them a small promotion.Therefore, everyone is quite attentive to him, and they often give him advice, but the advice is generally not very good.However, Li Dai believed that when he got to a high position, he would have better and more capable followers to join him.For now, let's just use these few people first, anyway, the family behind them is quite capable!

Li Dai patted his ass and left, leaving all four children to his step-wife, Princess Pei.The four children all turned to look at her, but she didn't show any embarrassment. Instead, she smiled lovingly and asked everyone, are you ready to eat?Want to add any new dishes?Even if you don't have time to make it for lunch, it's the same for dinner.She persuaded Li Jianrang and Zheng Wen to read and write together, thinking that the latter could teach the former some knowledge and tell him something about the circle of the clan and royal family.She also advised Li Lijun and Zheng Yuchai to stay together. There was a wedding in the palace. Both of her sisters had filial piety. The fragrance is also very good.

Li Lijun said very bluntly: "No need, it's fine for me to stay in my own room. In my free time, I like to read Taoist scriptures and make pills. I don't do needlework, and I haven't touched Hexiang for a long time. I think this is the hobby of Zheng's sister, so I won't bother."

The smile on Princess Pei's face remained unchanged: "Wouldn't it be too deserted to be alone? Even if you two sisters don't do the same thing, it's okay, just stay in my wing room here, spacious and quiet, do whatever you like , what you want, just ask the maid to get it. If you want to copy Taoist scriptures, I also have good pens, inks, papers and inkstones here, so why bother?"

Li Jianrang was originally feeling restless because of his father Li Dai's scumbag words and deeds. Hearing this, he helped his stepmother to persuade his younger sister: "Yes, what's the point of you going back alone? Stay here, at least we can be a companion. Ah I'm not leaving, I'm just here to practice calligraphy with Zheng's elder brother. You should stay with brother?"

If you really stay today, you will be invited to stay again tomorrow, and then it will be endless.Li Lijun didn't intend to let go at all: "There are many attendants around me, so how can I be deserted? Stay in my own room, say whatever you want, do whatever you want, don't be restrained. With Princess Si, I can be so Are you at ease? I'm afraid that the brothers and sisters of the Zheng family will also feel that their hands are tied, and everyone is uncomfortable, so why bother? I know in my heart that Princess Si is a kind person, and I respect you very much. It's really boring to pretend to be harmonious in one place."

Li Jian's eyes widened, and Zheng Yuchai asked with a blushing face, "Then according to you, what is interesting? As your father said, it is interesting to let my mother run around every day while pregnant? ! "

This time even Princess Pei and Zheng Wen were taken aback.The latter quickly winked at his younger sister: "Chaier!" Not only did Zheng Yuchai's face turn red, but even the circles of her eyes turned red.She doesn't live with her mother and stepfather on weekdays, but she has seen her mother being wronged more than once, and she has long been suffocated and very uncomfortable.

Her mother's status is not much worse than that of her stepfather Li Dai, so why should she be treated like this? !Grandma and Aunt Yuzhen selected thousands of husband and son-in-law candidates for their mother, but they were so unreliable, and the stepdaughter didn't even worry about it. Her mother was really miserable!
The little girl soon burst into tears, but she was stubborn and refused to shed tears.Li Lijun was unmoved when he saw this: "I, Aye, really went too far. I don't think it's necessary for Princess Heir to follow his wishes. It's right to take care of her body first. Aye, anyway, it's impossible to pay homage to the prime minister. , why bother to waste effort on this, and have to owe favors to the concubine heir?"

Princess Pei's dignified and stable expression finally changed slightly, showing a wry smile: "Fourth lady, the heir has always had great ambitions, and now it happens to be a rare opportunity..."

"The sage doesn't intend to make him an official!" Li Lijun said bluntly, "the more he jumps up and down, the more the sage will be afraid and suppress him. Now everyone knows that Aye is daydreaming, A Weng did not intend to get involved, so no one cares about him. But if A Ye jumps too much and annoys the saints, A Weng's face will not be of any use. Si Wangfei continues to pamper me, A Ye, except for being able to Apart from his smiling faces, there will be nothing in return, and even those smiling faces will not go anywhere. But if he is rejected by the saint in the future, I'm afraid you will follow suit. Even if you don't worry The future of the child in your womb should also be for the sake of your mother and brother? You have so much free time, why don’t you have a baby? If you want to give birth again at this age, can it be as easy as when you were young?!”

This time Princess Pei's expression finally couldn't hold back anymore, her face was full of astonishment: "Si Niangzi, you are..."

Li Lijun sighed for a long time: "I really don't understand, why are you all pampering him like this? Do you really think that Yang Guozhong is a generous and good-natured person? He is not a real close relative or friend, knowing that he is seriously ill, Aye pretends to be caring, but he only wants to wait for him to die and divide his power connections. He has a smile on his face, and he may hate him in his heart! Even if he can't be the prime minister of a country, he will have a few more friends before he dies. How difficult is it to be a backstabber? Aye has provoked the enemy, and you all think that he didn't die fast enough!"

After Li Lijun stood up and was about to leave, Li Jianrang quickly stopped her: "Little sister, where did you start talking? Could it be... did you hear something?!" He knew that Zhao Chenji was in the palace. There is a connection of little Gao Lishi here.

Of course Li Lijun heard the rumors, and heard Yang Guozhong conspiring with the people around him a long time ago: "I won't talk about how the news came, anyway, I know that one of Yang Guozhong's confidantes was ordered by him to teach Aye a lesson. I have been looking for an opportunity to do it for a long time. I don’t know how to do it, but Aye goes out to meet people every day, and there are enough guards around him? Does he have orders? Eat wine and food, smell incense, sit Are all the horses and carriages safe and reliable? I live in Taiping Valley, and I can hear the wind, but none of you in Chang’an are vigilant, what are you busy with all day long?!"

Li Lijun flung his sleeves and left. Li Jianrang turned to look at his stepmother and stepbrothers and step-sisters. After all, he couldn't help but chased after her, asking his younger sister to find out whether the news was true or not.

Concubine Pei looked stunned, slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand, sighed and ordered: "Remove the remaining seats." Several confidant maids glanced at each other, and then quickly and quietly did so.

During the banquet, only Princess Pei and Zheng's siblings, mother and son were left.Princess Pei pursed her lips, and asked Zheng Wen: "You are walking outside, have you ever...heard similar rumors?"

Zheng Wen said solemnly: "It is true that some of the Yang family's children or Yang Zhongcheng's party members have privately expressed their dissatisfaction with the Sui king, but that is just talk. I have never heard of anyone planning to do something wrong." .”

Zheng Yuchai asked in a low voice, "Where did the news about the fourth lady of the Sui Palace come from? She couldn't have made it up, could she?"

Princess Pei remembered that her mother-in-law, Princess Dou, had mentioned that the former successor, Princess Chen, had a strong supporter in the palace, so she shook her head slowly.

Although she can often enter the palace, but in terms of being well-informed, how can she compare with the attendants around the saint?
I'm afraid the news about my stepdaughter is somewhat true.
