After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Li Youwei briefly talked about Chu Wangchen's ascension to the throne, and the two of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Youwei, one general can make thousands of bones wither. This is true. It is not easy for Prince Wangchen to ascend the throne as emperor." The eldest princess was born in the royal family and witnessed Huangfu Chenyang's step-by-step approach to the throne. She He is well aware of the cruelty of the struggle for imperial power.

Li Youwei nodded, "Mother is right, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you make one wrong step, you will be doomed."

Nalan Ling nodded. She didn't want to continue this somewhat heavy topic, so she took the initiative to talk about interesting things in the capital.

"Youwei, let me tell you something happy. Sister Wan's marriage has been decided, and she is to be married to Zhou Tengfei, the fourth grade captain.

Originally, the parents-in-law disagreed, not because they disliked Zhou Tengfei's low position, but because the Zhou family had done too many wrong things in the past, and they did not want Sister Wan to be implicated in the Zhou family's reputation.

However, Zhou Tengfei was also a ruthless person. He knelt at the door of Situ's mansion for a whole day and a night. Moreover, the Zhou family also said that they would not come with Zhou Tengfei. They planned to make Zhou Tengfei his son-in-law. "

Zhou Tengfei's father, the former Marquis of Wen'an Zhou Boyuan, was greedy, fearful of death, and bullied others, but he really loved his only son. In his heart, as long as Zhou Tengfei could recover, he could die.

The Zhou family has fallen. Although Zhou Tengfei was promoted to a fourth-grade captain, he is incomparable to the Situ family, which has a profound background.

If he can climb this high branch, Zhou Boyuan will naturally give his full support.

Li Youwei nodded. She had noticed before at Fubao's full moon party that Situ Wan looked at Zhou Tengfei and something was not right. It happened that she was framed by Nalanjiao and was disqualified from the draft, so the two of them got married. .

"I sincerely wish them well."

"You Wei, except for Sister Wan and Zhou Tengfei, none of the concubines in the harem are peaceful masters."

Now, Nalan Ling would not say these words to others, but when she met Li Youwei, she wanted to tell her everything she knew.

"But what happened?"

"There are still a lot of things going on. A few months ago, a group of concubines were selected to enter the palace. Among them, my cousin Nalanjiao is the one who can cause trouble.

But she is also very powerful, and she actually got into His Majesty's heart. Now she is pregnant with the dragon heir, and has become the most popular concubine in the palace. "

Huangfu Chenyang was by no means a womanizer. He had planned step by step to get into that position, so he would definitely not follow in the footsteps of the late emperor.

Nalanjiao seems to be favored, but everything is probably planned by Huangfu Chenyang. There is a saying that the higher you stand, the worse you will fall. According to Nalanjiao's mind and temperament, her end will not be good.

The eldest princess also heard about the things in the harem, and after Nalan Ling finished speaking, she added some more.

"Concubine Shu and Concubine De are also pregnant one after another. Now they are more than two months old. The concubine is the first to be favored, but there has been no movement in her belly."

Nalan Ling nodded, "Yes, for this reason, there are rumors in the capital that the imperial concubine injured her body when she was the proprietress of Hongxiufang, so she cannot give birth."

These rumors were very unfavorable to Jiang Qi, simply implying that she was impure and unfaithful before marrying Emperor Nanchen.

"Has Your Majesty stopped the spread of rumors?" Li Youwei had roughly guessed in his mind after listening for so long.

Nalan Ling shook his head, "No, and he doesn't seem to care about the fight in the harem."

After listening to Nalan Ling's words, Li Youwei confirmed his guess. Emperors have always been afraid that the backyard would catch fire, the harem would be unstable, and the previous dynasty would be implicated. However, Huangfu Chenyang planned to do the opposite. The harem concubine They are related to all the forces in the previous dynasty. The more they disagree with each other, the more stable he will be on the throne.

Of course, he will not always let the harem continue to be chaotic. When he is strong enough, it will be time for him to take action to rectify it.

The three of them met together and seemed to have endless things to say. It was not until after dinner that the eldest princess and Nalan Ling left. On the second day, Li Youwei was reading in the study, and the housekeeper Fu Bo came to report.

Uncle Fu was taken by Li Youwei when he went to the south to deal with floods. He used to be a businessman, but later his shop was washed away by the flood. He was almost washed away by the flood, but it was Li Youwei who saved him.

He had no family anymore, and he wanted to work by Li Youwei's side to repay her life-saving grace. Li Youwei saw that he was pitiful and had management skills, so he made him the housekeeper of the General's Mansion.

Facts have proved that her decision was right. Since Uncle Fu came, the whole house has been managed by him in an orderly manner. She does not have to worry at all, and Bi Tao can feel much more relaxed.

"General, Mr. Li and his wife are waiting outside the door." Uncle Fu said respectfully.

Although Li Dengyuan and Li Wang were Li Youwei's parents, because of what they had done before, no one in the Cavalry General's Mansion wanted to see them. If the general hadn't told them to treat people with courtesy, Uncle Fu would have led his men to drive them out.

"Uncle Fu, take them to the living room."

"Yes, General."

Although the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion was built not long ago, due to the new emperor's reward and attention, the entire General's Mansion was built very grandly.

This was Li Dengyuan's second visit, and he was already calm enough not to look around. Li Wangshi was different. Just like when she first came to Beijing, she looked around and looked around. She felt good here and there, and she wished she could go back to Li Mansion.

Mrs. Li pulled Li Dengyuan's sleeve and said, "Sir, Li Youwei is our daughter. It would be a pity to only give her a place to live in such a good mansion. Why don't we live in it too?"

Li Dengyuan glared at Wang Li fiercely and said, "As a woman, if I hear similar words again, just wait to be divorced."

After Xiu'er gave birth to Li Yaozong and died in childbirth, Li Dengyuan never took any concubines, and would often stay at Li Wang's place.

But one thing bothered her. Whenever she made Li Dengyuan unhappy, he would scare her with a divorce letter.

Mrs. Li felt very uncomfortable about this, but she had to be afraid.

"Master, don't be angry. I know I was wrong. I promise I won't say much and will only act based on your eyes."

"Huh, that's pretty much it. Remember, you can't speak without my permission."

"Yes."

It has snowed several times in Beijing, and the trees on the roadside are covered with crystal clear snowflakes. Looking around, it is a unique beauty of winter.

The two of them ignored the admiration and followed Uncle Fu closely through the bluestone roads.

Mrs. Li didn't know how many moon doors she had crossed. It took almost a quarter of an hour before they crossed the high threshold and arrived at the living room.

The furnishings in the living room were very simple, but gave people a very noble feeling. Mrs. Li Wang did not dare to talk nonsense and sat next to Li Dengyuan.

Uncle Fu ordered someone to serve tea and then left.

Mrs. Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip, her eyes immediately lit up, "Master, this tea is really delicious, much better than what we have at home."

Although Li Dengyuan was promoted to the second rank with Li Youwei's help, his salary increased a lot, but because there was no income from the shop and the manor, the expenses in the mansion were high, Li Mingzhu came to visit Qiufeng from time to time, and the Li Wang family was not too busy. I know how to take care of the house, but my life is very tight now.

Li Dengyuan glanced sideways at Wang Li and said displeasedly, "Everything that You Wei has now was earned with his own life. You have no right to be jealous."
