Chapter 129 Zhao Pan'er's Crisis Emerges
Empress Cao would not choose a married man. It is not something that an upright person should do to destroy other people's families. Naturally, she would not choose a female official who still has children. The sequelae would be too great.

This is not an ordinary thing about being a stepfather. If the prince becomes a stepfather, how will the child be arranged in the future? Isn't that asking for trouble?

And this woman must not only be beautiful, but also have high fertility. Of course, how to look at fertility? The ancients always believed that the buttocks would give birth to babies.

This is how Li Yuluo was selected. Li Yuluo, who married young, gave birth to a son who died in infancy and then gave birth to another child. She was only 19 years old when her husband died.

Because she was childless, her father took her back to her natal family, planning to wait until she had fulfilled her husband's filial piety before marrying. Unexpectedly, Zhao Fang was assassinated, and her natal family was almost implicated.

If Zhao Fang hadn't written to Pang Ji personally, the Li family would have been in disaster. Therefore, Li Yuluo made a decision afterwards and entered the palace to participate in the female official assessment.

Yes, Li Yuluo is a descendant of Li Jun and the granddaughter of Li Shouchie. Her ancestral home is Taiyuan, Shanxi and she moved to Luoyang.

She was favored for her dignified and beautiful appearance, and after passing the assessment, she became a female official of the Shangyi Bureau.

After these years of hard work, she has been promoted to the rank of commander of the Shangfu Bureau. The eighth-grade female officer is already a high-ranking official and does not need to serve others.

But this time Empress Cao chose someone. When she heard that it was for the prince, she volunteered to join, but she was selected because of her big butt.

This battle completely threw her away. Zhao Fang, after the medicine had worn off, realized that he was being tricked by his parents, so he angrily said "report at the Prince's Mansion tomorrow", and left in a hurry.

After she was able to get up, she quickly finished dressing and went to find the Queen. This was Queen Cao's instructions and she did not dare to delay.

But Queen Cao waited for two hours to see her. She stared at her displeasedly and found that she couldn't stand still. Then she asked in surprise: "Did you take too much medicine?"

Li Yuluo blushed, shook his head and said, "Back to the Queen, it seems that what the Crown Princess and others said is true."

Queen Cao was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. Meng Xin and others had said that Zhao Fang was different from ordinary people, but she didn't believe it. Now it seems that it is true.

"Is it because of anger?"

Empress Cao thought about it and could only think of this. What makes her son different from ordinary people is that he has cultivated true energy since he was a child.

But this matter was warned by my uncle at the beginning, not to let outsiders know about it, so it's embarrassing now.

I had no choice but to let Li Yuluo rest. Tomorrow, she would be relieved of her position as a female official and go to work as a concubine in the Prince's Mansion.

The emperors of Zhao and Song never minded marrying widows, let alone the crown princess and others. It would be no problem to have one more concubine who was born as a widow.

Queen Cao couldn't sleep that night and went directly to Zhao Zhen. The couple discussed it all night but couldn't find a solution.

Zhao Zhen finally sighed helplessly and said: "Forget it, as long as you confirm that your son does not have any hidden diseases or bad habits, then let him be. It will come back later."

This incident was originally an episode, but unexpectedly, Li Yuluo was sent to the Prince's Mansion the next day and was stunned when he saw Zhao Pan'er.

The shocked expression made everyone wonder that Zhao Fang was not here, but the wives and concubines were. It was the Crown Princess who had asked everyone to introduce the new couple.

"What's wrong with Master Li? Did you know Sister Pan'er before? But that's not right."

Meng Xin looked at her in surprise and couldn't figure out that Zhao Pan'er didn't stay in the palace for a long time, and a person who lived alone rarely walked in the palace.

After all, he was Zhao Fang's man, so it would be bad if he bumped into the emperor. Besides, Li Yuluo was also busy with his own affairs after entering the palace. Although they were both in the palace, there were too few opportunities to get to know each other.

Later, Zhao Fang moved out of the palace, and they only entered the palace once a year, and it was impossible for them to meet Li Yuluo and get to know each other.

Zhao Pan'er herself was baffled, looking at her with questions in her eyes.Li Yuluo hesitated for a moment, then leaned forward and said, "I met Master Cao for the first time today. I was surprised because she looked very much like the person in the painting collected by my mother-in-law."

"The person in the painting?"

Everyone was surprised and curious at the same time. Song Yinzhang smiled and said: "It's not like someone secretly painted Sister Pan'er. Yes, Sister Pan'er is so beautiful. If I were a man, I would be fascinated too."

Zhao Pan'er stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek in an irritated manner, and the two sisters started laughing.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuluo said: "No, that painting was left by my ancestors, and the person in the painting is Concubine Shu, the queen of the Later Tang Dynasty."

"What! Is it that Hua Jian Sha?"

Meng Xin looked at Zhao Pan'er in astonishment, but Zhao Pan'er's expression changed, and her whole body trembled slightly. Song Yinzhang, who was holding hands with her, looked at her in surprise.

"Hua Jian Sha, this is an interesting title. Could it be that she is comparable to Yang Yuhuan?"

Cao Minghui smiled and said that she did not see anything strange about Zhao Paner, but was simply interested in the title.

Han Xue shook her head slightly and looked at Meng Xin curiously. Although Han Xue was familiar with poetry and books, she still didn't know about Wang Shufei's deeds.

Meng Xin smiled sweetly, looked at Xiao Guanyin and said, "Sister Guanyin should know, she will be the wife of your King Yan of the Liao Kingdom."

Xiao Guanyin, who has grown up, is now a woman, and her mature appearance is more like the dignity of a Bodhisattva.

She smiled beautifully and said: "The beloved concubine of King Yanshou Zhao Yanshou is indeed as beautiful as a flower. She is known as the most beautiful woman in the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Wu dynasties."

Meng Xin snorted, raised her chin arrogantly and said, "That refers to the number one ranking among the five Central Plains countries. There are people in the south who can't lose to her."

After saying this, Han Xue burst into laughter and said, "Yes! Is the ancestor of our Crown Princess a great beauty?"

Meng Xin felt embarrassed now and said shyly: "Sister Xue'er is talking nonsense! I didn't mean that. I was talking about the great and small empresses of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"Isn't there Mrs. Rui?"

Song Yinzhang, who loved music, admired Mrs. Huarui, and immediately asked stupidly. Meng Xin's face darkened, but fortunately she did not show anger.

Zhao Pan'er quickly pulled Song Yinzhang to signal her not to talk nonsense, but she blinked at him puzzled.

Han Xue quickly changed the subject and said: "Sister Li is our concubine from now on. Princess, please tell her about the rules of our house."

Meng Xin then relaxed her face and said with a smile: "The prince of our family doesn't like the intrigues in the family, so the sisters all get along with each other, and they all call the sisters by their age. Sister Yuluo will be the same if she stays for a long time. Got it, there’s more…”

Li Yuluo was still surprised before as to why Meng Xin, as the crown prince, called Zhao Paner and Han Xue sister, now she understands.

It's no wonder that what Song Yinzhang said just now made her unhappy but he didn't get angry. If this was someone else's wife and was angered by the concubine, she would definitely be punished.

Also, Song Yinzhang seemed careless at first glance. The fact that she could say this showed that she didn't pay attention to the taboos of the Crown Princess at all.

The emperor Meng Chang was the head of the Meng family. Among the three beauties, the one the Meng family did not want to be mentioned the most was Mrs. Huarui. She was brought into the harem by Zhao Kuangyin. How could the Meng family mention this person because their faces were so shameless.

As a concubine, she did not understand the taboos of the head wife, which showed that Song Yinzhang was so loved by others, and it was not only Zhao Fang who doted on her. It was obvious that Meng Xin also had a good relationship with her, otherwise she would definitely have an attack.
