The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 80
With the spread of rumors, the old stories about Li Meiying's greed and vanity and her confession of being a thief as her father were once again uncovered by people with high intentions. For a while, there were many rumors in Beijing, all kinds of accusations and insults. Like a normal person, he should eat, sleep, and occasionally accept the invitation of Li Xueshang and others to join the poetry club.

It is not unreasonable to say that rumors only stop at the wise. When Emperor Cheng first heard the rumors, he was extremely furious and ordered Jing Zhaoyin to severely suppress the rumorers. Seeing Li Sister-in-law's insistence, Emperor Cheng finally complied with her and let the rumors subside automatically.

The parties did not take any action to quell the rumors, nor did they do so today, and the people who were touched at the beginning gradually lost their conversation resources. More importantly, they understood that Li Meizheng's greed and vanity had nothing to do with them. It is more beneficial for them to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Any common people would like to live in a peaceful and prosperous world, not a country full of wars.

During the period when the rumors spread, Wei Jinyang went to Princess Yingsu's mansion many times. Although he entered the mansion every time, he did not see Li Meiying. He didn't feel relieved until the rumors subsided.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Meizheng was reading in the garden of Siyu Pavilion, and Mo Shu returned to Siyu Pavilion with the snacks sent by Wei Jinyang. She glanced at the food box in Moshu's hand, and then put down the Shu said with a smile: "He has a heart, he has never stopped eating this snack every day, and I happen to be hungry too, so let's serve it up!"

Mo Shu smiled and put the snacks in the food box on the table. Looking at the snacks on the table, she suddenly said: "The snacks should be served with the princess's favorite condensed drink. This servant will go and make some for the princess."

Bo Liuzi, who was waiting on the sidelines, immediately reacted after hearing the words: "Aunt Mo, for making tea, it's better for the servants to come, you rest!"

Mo Shu didn't insist, and let Bo Liuzi go, and when she went to the small kitchen, Li Sister-in-law asked softly, "Is there any news?"

Mo Shu approached Li Sister-in-law, and said in a low voice, "I just received the news that the Wu family summoned the fifth prince, and it seemed that it was to accept Li Changning as a concubine. The fifth prince refused, and was severely reprimanded by the Wu family. The prince had a big fight with the Wu family and left the palace angrily."

Li Sister-in-law heard the news, her lips curled up into a smile: "We finally waited for Wei Haoyou to explode. It was not easy to wait for this day! Auntie, you send someone to find out Wei Haoyou's whereabouts. With a rift, we simply let the rift become too big to repair."

Mo Shu responded, and hurriedly left Siyu Pavilion to arrange for someone to inquire about Wei Haoyou's affairs. After she left for a while, she saw Bo Liuzi coming with a tray with a smile on her face.

She put the freshly brewed condensed drink in the tray on the table, and seeing that Mo Shu was not there, she asked puzzledly: "Princess, why isn't Aunt Mo serving by the princess' side?"

Li Sister-in-law smiled indifferently and said, "A few mothers have something to report, so she went back to the front yard."

Mo Shu is in charge of the big and small affairs in the princess's mansion, and he is the chief executive in the true sense. Bo Liuzi knew this when he entered the mansion, and he didn't take it seriously when he heard Li Meiying say this.

About half an hour later, Mo Shu returned to Siyu Pavilion, with a tired face, she bowed to Li Sister, got up, stared at Bo Liuzi thoughtfully for a long time, and finally spoke as if she had made up her mind Said: "Princess, the servant has something to report."

"What's the matter with Aunt Mo, but it's okay to say, there are no outsiders here." Putting down the book in her hand, Li Sister-in-law asked with a puzzled expression.

Sighing, Mo Shu said rather helplessly: "Princess, in recent years, the energy of slaves and servants has not been as good as before. I feel a little powerless to manage the huge princess mansion by myself. Yunyu and Liuzi are the first-class maids beside the princess. Huan, this servant wants to hand over some affairs to her two hands, I don't know what the princess wants."

Li Meizheng was silent for a while when she heard the words, and then she opened her mouth after a while, "Aunt Mo manages such a large princess mansion alone, and the burden on her shoulders is really heavy. Since you are willing to share power with others, I naturally have no reason not to allow it. How about this, from now on, let Liuzi and Yunyu study with you respectively, after they get to know each other for a period of time, you can assign specific tasks according to their actual situation."

Bo Liuzi on the side listened to Mo Shu's words, and secretly rejoiced in her heart. As long as she can manage things, she can make money. This also proves that Li Sister really trusts her.

Mo Shu nodded and said: "However, the princess can't be without someone to serve her. Yunyu and Liuzi can only learn from me separately to get familiar with the affairs of the mansion."

Li Meizhen smiled, and said in agreement: "Aunt Mo, I leave this to you. As for who should learn first, let Liuzi and Yunyu discuss it themselves!"

At this moment, Yunyu returned to Siyu Pavilion with a tray on which were placed rice paper and other things. Bo Liuzi knew that the opportunity had come, and quickly showed humility and said, "Let Sister Yunyu follow Aunt Mo first." Study! It doesn’t matter if I study later.”

Yunyu didn't understand, so she asked puzzledly: "Princess, what is Liuzi talking about, what should I learn first?"

Li Meiying continued to smile, looked at Bo Liuzi appreciatively, and replied: "Aunt Mo wants to teach you and Liuzi's house affairs, and when you get familiar with it, I will hand over some to you to manage. I was just talking about you and Liuzi. There has to be one serving by my side, and there will be a problem of who learns first and who learns later, but Liu Zi humbly said that I let you learn first."

Yunyu heard the words, looked at Bo Liuzi gratefully and said: "Let's go first Liuzi, she is younger than me anyway, how can I let the big bully the small."

After hearing Yunyu's words, Li Meiying said to Bo Liuzi: "Since Yunyu is humble, you should learn from Aunt Mo first. She has been in the mansion for a long time, and it will be easier to learn later."

Li Sister-in-law had already spoken, and Bo Liuzi naturally obeyed, which was also her original intention, but she knew that Yunyu had a straightforward personality and would not compete with her. To give in is to give in sincerely, so she deliberately made the first move. Come humbly.

"Yunyu, take good care of the princess. I'll take Liuzi to familiarize myself with the affairs of the mansion first." Seeing that they had made an agreement, Mo Shu told Yunyu a few words, and then left with Bo Liuzi.

As soon as Mo Shu and Bo Liuzi left, Yunyu said softly: "Princess, everything has been arranged, and this servant will wait for you to change clothes."

Li Meizheng nodded, got up and went back to the house, after changing her clothes, she and Yunyu left the Princess Mansion in a hurry.

The carriage went straight to Shiyaxuan and stopped in front of Shiyaxuan. Yunyu helped Li Sister-in-law to get off the carriage. , did you invite the noble lady to have a gathering in Ximeng Pavilion today?"
