wives and concubines

In the hall of the Zhao family, everyone in the room sat with solemn faces.

Seeing Li Jian'an go in, both Chen Duanyi and Chen Duanyu stood up happily, while the Elder Master and the Third Master just raised their eyebrows.However, there was a trace of bitterness on Mrs. Zhao's face, which slowly crawled across his old and tired face.

Li Jian'an saluted the Eldest Master and the Third Master first, and then unceremoniously sat beside Chen Duangui.

A trace of surprise and almost invisible joy flashed in Chen Duanhou's eyes.

Chen Duanyi frowned subconsciously.

Li Jian'an caught a glimpse of the rapid transformation of the two of them, and his heart sank slightly, but he didn't speak.

Lan Kang arrived a quarter of an hour later than Li Jian'an, saw that Li Jian'an had arrived first, and there was another seat on the right, without waiting for anyone to greet him, he walked over to sit down without any hesitation.There was a cold aura exuding from the tall and mighty figure.

Chen Duanyi's eyes became more bitter.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lan Kang said to Li Jian'an first: "I don't know that the Duke has arrived. It's because of my subordinate's negligence." His attitude was very respectful.

Li Jian'an waved his hand, "It's not that the imperial court should respond, just tell me to be humble."

Originally, it was a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Li Jianan had married Chen Chunfang before, so he was considered a big brother-in-law.In this case, it is true that only the nickname or baby name is the most intimate.

Lan Kang has followed Li Jian'an for many years, so he naturally knows Li Jian'an's temperament. He is also a military commander himself, and he doesn't pay much attention to it. In order for her to take good care of her, we can't let their sisters from the Chen family have an accident in the Zhao family." He spoke very calmly, and there was even a trace of gentleness like an old friend talking on his face.

But the old man in the Zhao family, down to Zhao Entropy, who was slumped in his chair, felt that these words were extremely harsh.

Unable to control Zhao Entropy, he immediately stood up from his seat, looked at Lan Kang with red eyes and said, "Master Lan, what do you mean by these words!"

With no support behind him, Lan Kang, who was able to climb from a small general to his current position, relied on his drive not to be afraid of people.

Military generals are not suitable for forming good relationships with officials everywhere, especially military generals who stay in important positions, the more lonely they are, the more reassuring the emperor will be.

This point, Lan Kang has learned from Li Jian'an a long time ago.

Originally disdaining Zhao Entropy as a human being, and seeing Zhao Entropy standing up first, Lan Kang simply rushed to Zhao Entropy, grabbed his wrinkled neckline and said: "You are no longer relatives with me, don't let me see you." Be merciful!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to punch him down.

The Zhao family had an angry look on their faces before, and felt that Lan Kang was really deceiving people too much. When they saw Lan Kang's actions, and thought that Lan Kang had done something in the Zhao family last time, they all couldn't help but look ashen.

Lankang is a confidant cultivated by Dingguo Gong Li Jianan, and now he is reused by the emperor.After the emperor heard about what happened last time, he was only joking and nonsense. If he really made a move this time, it would be for nothing.

Zhao Entropy's brothers and cousins ​​all took a step back without a trace.

Only Mr. Zhao stood up and tried to dissuade with an apologetic smile: "Master Lan, Mr. Lan, they are all family members and relatives. For the sake of this old man, please be merciful."

Zhao Entropy turned pale with fright, but refused to say a word, just watched his father beg for mercy.

Mrs. Zhao just felt ashamed, and didn't want to say a word of lesson.

Li Jianan watched coldly and snorted disdainfully.

The great master Chen Duanyi and Chen Duangu stared at Zhao Entropy with resentment and did not speak.

She has been staying at Zhao's house since last night, neither eating nor drinking, like a ten-year-old third master weakly said: "Eighth niece and son-in-law, let him go."

The person who died was Chen Chunzhen. The biological father of the third master opened his mouth. Even if Lan Kang disdained Zhao Entropy's behavior, he had nothing to say and retreated.

Mr. Zhao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, we are all one family."

Zhao Entropy glanced at Lan Kang proudly.

Both Chen Duanyi and Chen Duanhou were trembling with anger, wishing they could go up and beat Zhao Entropy to death in person.

Such a defiant attitude is really deceiving!

Li Jianan narrowed his bright phoenix eyes, looked Zhao Entropy up and down, suddenly smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Zhao, "Master, your descendants will be promising people in the future." His tone was calm, and his face still had The slight smile made people instantly feel the irony and murderous intent in the air.

Everyone was ashamed and scared by this atmosphere.

Zhao Entropy shrank his neck, never daring to raise his head again.

Mrs. Zhao was so ashamed by Li Jianan's sarcasm that he stood up unsteadily, and before everyone could react, he raised his hardwood crutch and slammed it on Zhao Entropy's body.

"I beat you to death, you bastard, your family is unfortunate, your family is unfortunate, how did you give birth to you, an evil animal, an evil animal!"

Zhao Entropy was beaten on the spot at first, then he heard the old man Zhao scolding, he stretched his neck and tried to contradict him, but was kicked by the old man Zhao who hated iron and steel and knelt down on the ground.

This matter was originally a mess from beginning to end.

Things will develop like this, not only beyond the expectations of the Chen family, but also beyond the expectations of the Zhao family.

Zhao Entropy was originally talented and intelligent, and he was the most outstanding talent in the third generation of the Zhao family.Mr. Zhao even thought about letting this clever son take the imperial examination, so he decided to marry the Chen family.

The Chen family has been a scholarly family for many generations, and they are not considered rich and powerful, but the children in the family are all talented and famous.After several generations, there are also many people who are officials in the court.Although there are no kings and ministers, there are many officials with real power in various places.

Such a family is neither high nor low, just enough to help Zhao Entropy go all the way smoothly.

Who knew it would come to this point, relatives did not succeed, but became enemies instead.

It also implicated both the Zou family and the Li family.

The Zou family belonged to the noble concubine's family, while the Li family belonged to the queen's natal family.

But in today's court situation, people with real brains understand that as long as the eldest son of the emperor is around, as long as the queen's son still has a son who occupies the position of the first son, and even as long as the queen is not old, the son cannot be born.The ancestral family law of passing on to the progeny and not to the concubine will be passed on rigorously.

Even if the emperor wants to violate the ancestral family law, he still has to look at the civil and military officials, and see if the clan of the Manchu dynasty agrees!The first to bear the brunt is Princess Rong...

What's more, the emperor loves the queen very much, and the Li family will look at each other again. How can the relationship of sharing weal and woe for many years be comparable to that of a noble concubine.The reason why a noble concubine was conferred was simply because a son was born and several members of the Zou family needed to be employed.

Look at the harem, the majestic son of heaven, there is only one imperial concubine, three concubines, and one Jieyu, and the rest are all unfavored daughter-in-law.

Throughout the ages, how could the emperor have had so few concubines? This is clearly the result of the emperor's doting on the empress on purpose.
