The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 176
After New Year's Eve, on the first day of the first lunar month, Li Sister-in-law entered the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Dowager Dowager, and stayed in the palace for a day because of the Dowager Dowager's persuasion. Went to Jiangning Prince's Mansion, because of Jiangning Princess' enthusiasm to stay, she stayed in Jiangning Prince's Mansion for lunch and dinner before returning to Princess Mansion.

In the third year of junior high school, I received an invitation post from Li Xueshang. She is now a married woman, and it is reasonable for her sisters to post a post to get together. Since Li Sister has not seen Li Xueshang for a long time, she prepared a gift happily. Excitedly went to Jiang's Mansion, Mu Jinglian and Guo Mengzhen were also invited. Li Sister-in-law also learned on this day that Mu Jinglian and Zhong Yan's wedding date was set in April of the beginning of spring, and Guo Mengzhen's wedding date was also set. It came down, one month later than Mu Jinglian, in May.

Li Meizheng was happy that the two good sisters had found lifelong support and happiness. She drank more wine for a while, and when she left Jiang's mansion, she was already drunk and unconscious.

The next day, Li Meizhen woke up from the drunkenness. The tingling pain in her temples reminded her that she was greedy and drank a lot of wine in Jiang's mansion. In the room, she sat down beside the couch, handed the tray of steaming hangover soup to Li Meiying and said, "Princess, drink the hangover soup while it's hot, and your head won't hurt after drinking it."

Li Meizhen took the bowl, drank the hangover soup in small sips, and then lay back on the bed again.

The year of worship was over, and Li Sister-in-law stayed idle in the mansion. For more than half a year, she secretly sent out forces to search for the whereabouts of the imperial brother Li Feng, but there was no progress at all, although she kept comforting herself that there was no news. It's good news, but thinking about the life of the emperor and Princess Yongle living in hiding, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

In this occasional little sadness, the Lantern Festival came on the 15th. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the night market in Xindu was very lively. Li Sister refused to participate in the banquet in the palace, and took Yunyu and Qinger to the night market.

On the street, the festive atmosphere is very strong, beautiful lanterns can be seen everywhere, there are dragon dance performances on the street, naughty children are setting off fireworks on the street, and dazzling fireworks explode in the sky from time to time. From the window of Mengge, watching the lively scene on the street downstairs, the corners of her lips curled up slightly with joy.

Eating glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival has been a centuries-old tradition. Li Meiying ordered some dim sum and glutinous rice balls, and the shopkeeper quickly delivered the food in person. Said: "There are no outsiders here, everyone doesn't have to follow those vain rituals today, we sit around the table, eat glutinous rice balls and dim sum, and go to the street to have a Lantern Festival later."

Mo Shu and Yunyu had been by Li Sister's side for a long time, and they were no strangers to this kind of request, but Qing'er was a little hesitant, and was finally pulled to sit down by Yunyu.

Yunyu served a bowl of glutinous rice balls for everyone, and said with a smile: "Princess, the glutinous rice balls of Shiyaxuan are sold in limited quantities, and they are said to taste very good. Thanks to the princess, the servants are able to eat them, so the servants are welcome. "

When Li Meizhen heard this, she laughed and said: "Tangyuan is not something to cherish. Look, I am happy for you. If you like to eat it, I will let Shiyaxuan deliver it to your house every day, so that you can eat it every day. I am afraid that you will eat it." If there are too many, you will feel sick when you see the glutinous rice balls!"

"Slave..." Yunyu wanted to retort that she was not so greedy, but she just said a few words, and the smile on her face froze. She put down the bowl in her hand and got up and said: "Princess, slave, go out for a while. Hidden back, I'm afraid there is some important news."

"You go!" Li Meizheng's eyes narrowed, and she nodded calmly.

Yunyu quickly turned around, sat down at the table again with a strange expression, and said, "Princess, just now there was a message from Duke Ango's mansion that he disappeared. Duke Ango was happy because of the Lantern Festival. He drank too much wine and fell into the pond in the garden. In the process, the person was out of breath when he was rescued."

When Li Meiying heard the words, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and she was silent for a while before she said softly: "Dignified Lord, usually there are groups of slaves behind him, and even when he is drunk, there are slaves following him, how can he let him go?" Going to the garden alone, even slipping into the pond and drowning only to be found?"

"My servant also finds it strange, but this is what Anyin saw with his own eyes, so he can't be mistaken." Although Yunyu also felt that Li Meiying's words made sense, the secret guards trained by Lu Qian, no matter the ability of night vision , or hearing is top-notch, he can't be wrong.

Hearing this, Li Meiying fell into deep thought. She was happy to come out to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but now that she heard the news, Li Meiying lost her interest in playing, so she finished eating the glutinous rice balls and snacks on the table and took People went home.

An Guogong died in an accident. Although he had done many wrong things, he was the elder brother of the Empress Dowager and the uncle of the Emperor Jin. In addition, An Guogong's act of destroying his relatives won the sympathy of many people. Even if Wei Jinyang was unwilling, He also had to go out of the palace to go to Anguo Gong's mansion in person to show comfort to An Guogong and his wife.

In fact, whether An Guogong is dead or alive has nothing to do with Li Sister-in-law, but Wei Jinyang went to the funeral in person, and in addition to the news that An Guogong's government sent someone to tell the news of An Guogong's death, even if Li Sister-in-law didn't want to Go, but the dead are the greatest, and it is still necessary to put incense on the dead.

In the early morning of this day, Li Meiying returned to the inner room and changed into plain clothes, and the hair ornament on her head was also replaced with plain silver hair ornament.Then he took Qing'er and Yunyu to the Anguo Gong's mansion in a carriage.

After all, the Duke of Anguo's mansion is a century-old family. Although it was attacked one after another last year, the contacts of the Chaozhong Cuozong are still there. In addition to the presence of Emperor Jin, many people rushed to express their thoughts in front of Emperor Jin and came to express their condolences.

The carriage stopped at the open space outside Anguo Gong's mansion, because there were so many visitors today, the open space was already full of carriages, Li Meiying helped Yun Yu's men to get off the carriage, and the three master and servant went to An Guo Gong's mansion.

Mrs. An Guogong and his only son, Wu Haolong, stood at the gate of the mansion, receiving visitors. When the mother and son saw Li Sister-in-law, a flash of hatred flashed in their eyes at the same time, but they stepped forward with appropriate sadness and saluted: "To Yao Greetings, Princess Huang, and thank you Princess for coming to the Duke's funeral."

"You two are exempt from courtesy. An Guogong has been loyal to the country all his life. Because of the matter of Wu Dagongzi a few years ago, he killed his relatives righteously. This move is unprecedented in Daxin. I admire Guoan Guogong's selflessness, so I will come to see him off for the last time. Yes." The corners of her lips raised slightly, Li Sister-in-law sighed and said, the words contained a lot of irony, others might not understand, but Mr. An Guo and Wu Haolong definitely could.

"Princess, this is a sachet to ward off evil spirits. Every visitor will give one, so let me wear it for the princess!" After hearing Li Meiying's words, Mrs. An Guogong's eyes flashed, and then she handed it gently. Said the sachet in his hands.
