She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 40 Thoughts
Pei Wei deliberately controlled his rapid breathing and slowly calmed down.

Wei?

How did he and those royal brothers and sisters, including Pei Peng, ever have such an intimate address?

What a clever word.

However, he wanted to hear how Pei Peng would turn the current situation around with her sharp tongue.

It really makes sense, you might as well give it a try.

Pei Wei looked around and ordered in a cold voice:
"You all step back, Wynn, you stand guard outside the door."

Pei Peng breathed a sigh of relief, but she could get to the point. If it wasn't profitable, she really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

She also winked at her maidservants, telling them to back off.

Pei Wei closed his eyes that were reddened by excitement, and felt his right hand trembling slightly—this was a symptom every time he lost control of his emotions.

He clenched his fists, retracted his hands into his large sleeves, turned around and returned to the dragon chair to sit down.

Seeing him sitting down, Pei Peng stroked the corner of the wrinkled skirt, and was about to kneel down.

"Sister, come up and sit down."

Pei Wei pointed to the low square stool placed closest to him.

Is he so worried about the people in the palace?
Pei Peng thought to himself, after all, he didn't care about such a trivial matter, got up, and stepped onto the high platform step by step.

……

a few days ago.

Xu Xiao greeted her mother-in-law, and then sat and fought with a few sisters-in-law for a while, then Shi Shiran went back to the yard of her own room, called the stewards to check the accounts, or ordered some suggestions , dealt with it until near noon, when her husband Li Feng came back, and then let the stewards go down, and let the back kitchen serve the meal.

What Xu Xiao married was the eldest son of Cheng Guogong, the next heir who was a sure thing. Her daughter, Li Chunhua, was naturally the most valued among the girls in the house.

Therefore, when Cheng Guogong intends to join hands with his in-laws to promote the common bloodline to fight for the successor, he never expected to get stuck with his granddaughter's mother-in-law.

Of course, subsequent developments proved that the Xu family also had their own ideas.

However, even if it proves that this line of thinking doesn't work, Xu Xiao and Li Feng, a couple who have been married for many years, still have a gap.

Xu Xiao told her youngest son and daughter to eat more vegetables and less meat, and be careful not to get angry, so they ate slowly, without even casting a glance at her husband.

Li Feng was upset and didn't care about his diet. He unconsciously ate more than half a plate of roasted mutton and drank half a bottle of wine.

In the middle of the afternoon, Li Feng felt a toothache. When he touched it with his hand, it was faintly swollen. It was because he was on fire.

A tall, middle-aged man who was somewhat stout, half-lying on the couch, he started screaming.

Xu Xiao, who was pruning flowers in the outer room, felt anxious, thinking that something happened to him, so she hurried in to have a look.

Looking at his face, Xu Xiao first breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyebrows and cursed:
"You act like a monster without being warned for a moment. How can a person of such an age get angry after just eating a meal? What will it look like for children to see?"

Li Feng felt even more aggrieved:

"Then you don't remind me to eat less meat."

Xu Xiao mocked:

"When Chunhua reaches eight or nine years old, I won't need to remind her anymore."

The couple quarreled a few words about getting angry, and the estrangement gradually disappeared.

Xu Xiao took out the standing gunpowder ointment and rubbed it on Li Feng carefully. Seeing him hissing and breathing, it was a little funny, and said:

"Come on, I don't want to be angry with you anymore."

"Why are you angry with me? I should be more angry about this matter, right? Such a good opportunity, we Chunhua, we have to be born, have character, and have appearance. Why? Can't you fight for that position?"

Xu Xiao gently patted Li Feng's swollen cheek, which hurt him so much that he stopped talking, and then said:
"First of all, I knew from the beginning that my natal family would not agree. There is a tacit understanding within the family for this kind of thing. It is not a special period. It is not easy to push the princes who hold military power to become the emperor's Yue family. You understand What does this mean? In fact, it’s not only good for the court, it’s also good for a family like ours, so we won’t go too far and lack restrictions.”

Li Feng muttered:

"Could it be that they still think that we will steal the throne? We have become the government of the country and live with the country, so we can't afford to take such a risk."

Xu Xiao comforted:

"I know, it's because of their villainous hearts. In fact, my parents don't doubt this, but they can't be the masters of the family, and there are clan elders."

Li Feng reluctantly accepted this explanation, and asked again:

"What about other than that? If you are just afraid that the Xu family won't agree, you can just blame it on the Yue family instead of clearly stating your attitude. This makes Dad feel so wronged. He also thinks about us, Chunhua."

Xu Xiao continued:
"Secondly, it's because we are Chunhua. You see, our family has a simple population. As a father, you also love your daughter, and you have raised her to be innocent and kind. With such a temperament, Marrying into the royal family? Do you think it's appropriate?"

Li Feng disagrees:
"Hmph, if Chunhua is selected, even though she is the emperor's harem, the royal family has no selfish affairs, has its own court rules, and is different from concubines. What's more, there is our Li family. Is it possible that someone can bully her?"

"Yes, she might not be bullied, but if the husband and wife are at odds, even if the mother of a country holds the Phoenix Seal in her hand, what's the fun?
My aunt entered the late emperor's harem and was favored. She even gave birth to a prince, but she died in depression after losing two sons in a row.I don't want my daughter to be like this.

What's more, I already have a favorite candidate in my heart, that is, Wang Sanlang of the Wang family. His grandfather was a celebrity of a generation, and he also held the power of a continent. His father is a bit mediocre, but his two wives are capable. A lady from an aristocratic family with character enough to be a queen, another daughter who treated her original spouse well and raised a pair of good sons.Isn't this a good match? "

Xu Xiao didn't come up with this plan recently. She had been friends with Wang Sanlang's aunt since she was a child, and also had some friendship with his mother. She felt that this was a good candidate for her son-in-law.

However, people nowadays often get married later in life, especially if the daughters of aristocratic families are delicate. They often choose a few suitable candidates, then decide slowly, and wait until they are sixteen or seventeen to prepare for the marriage.

So Xu Xiao didn't rush to bring it up.

But her father-in-law came out suddenly, which made her realize that she should reveal her intentions, otherwise she would really be in a dilemma when the elders were optimistic about the candidate.

Li Feng is still very satisfied with the family background of the Wang family. Even for a family like theirs, marrying their daughter into a first-class family is something worth showing off.

"Ou Sanlang... Well, let me think about it, is he the child named Wang Zidu? I do remember that he was born very well. His grandfather was delighted when he saw him and insisted on choosing this name, which made my father laugh a lot. .But in recent years...has he done anything in recent years?"

Xu Xiao has obviously been paying attention to:

"He went on a study tour. He has been there for more than a year, and he will be back soon."

Li Feng was even more satisfied:

"Well, that's right. The sons of the aristocratic family have grown squeamish in recent years. Since he dares to study abroad, he must have a certain degree of force. Very good, he is worthy of the daughter of our Li family."

Xu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Although the grandparents have the right to make decisions about their children's marriage, it still depends more on the wishes of the parents. If the husband and wife reach an agreement, the parents-in-law will not have any opinions.

She settled her daughter's matter at first, and then expressed her other thoughts to ease the tension with her in-laws in recent days:

"As for my father's wish to send his granddaughter to the palace, as long as he doesn't force himself to take the throne, it's actually not impossible to achieve."

Li Feng raised his eyebrows:

"How to say? You also know that the new emperor was very dissatisfied with our family as soon as he came to the throne. He always felt constrained. Duke Zhen once mentioned that there was a good girl in his family, but he didn't take over. It can be seen that he didn't want to. gone."

Xu Xiao thought to herself, you know you don't want to...

She didn't directly say how to do it, but changed the subject inexplicably:

"Did you know that Princess Chengyang has returned to Beijing."

　I went to play yesterday and saw an Egyptian exhibition in Beijing. It was very interesting. I wanted to show you a picture, but it seems that I can’t. It’s a pity.
