Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 230 Yongguo Duke's Mansion
"I knew you knew what you heard, that's it." The fifth prince moved towards Li Tian: "We are a husband and wife, so this can only come out of my mouth and into your ears." The fifth prince said that he was already next to Li Tian. Tian stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, put it close to her ear and said in a low voice, "Brother's Northern Expedition should have been settled. This time, Eldest Brother needs a big victory. It would be best if he can complete all his efforts. Zhu's family is deeply rooted and leafy in the north, and their attitude is unclear. The eldest brother is the only one in the court. No one can say what he can do. The elder brother's life and future are tied to this battle. , we are too, but we are different from the big brother, we have to leave a way out."

Li Tian was shocked when he heard that, and turned to look at the fifth prince. Before she could speak, the fifth prince kissed her and said, "Don't be afraid, we both think the same about this matter. You have a boat to the south. We secretly bought dozens of good horses, and prepared a few clippers, in case something happens, we will go far away to Nanyang."

"Then get close to sister-in-law?"

"Brother will definitely let someone send a message to me if something happens, but if it really gets out of hand." The fifth prince was silent for a moment before continuing: "Brother will definitely not think of me first, I always think that brother will find a way to protect sister-in-law Be considerate with your children, you are careful, if you can come and go frequently with your sister-in-law, maybe you can see some clues in time."

"I thought..." Li Tian didn't feel very scared, but instead had a strange feeling in his heart: "Since you stepped in, you are ready to die."

"Isn't this just a preparation for death? I've already thought about it. If there is no life in the elder brother's side, and death is like a lamp being extinguished, it is useless for our two lives to be shared. If the elder brother still has a chance of life, you go first. I will accompany Big Brother to grab this chance."

"Didn't you think of... yourself?" When the two talked about this, Li Tian had no scruples anymore. He looked up at the fifth prince and asked, and the fifth prince shook his head very firmly: "Never thought about it, Don't you want to?"

"I don't even want to." Li Tian shook his head more firmly.

"That's it, I just said, we two have a good heart, and we are connected at a glance." The fifth prince slid his fingers into Li Tian's thin obscene clothes: "That time we two cuddled together in the cave , I went back and had a good dream for several nights..."

"What are you cuddling with each other, you're ruining my reputation! Your hand..." Before Li Tian could finish speaking, he was blocked by the fifth prince's lips.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tian didn't get up early again. Madam Xiong greeted the refreshed Fifth Prince at the Hanging Flower Gate, respectfully begged him to let him pass, and watched the Fifth Prince walk out of the gate with satisfaction from behind, so she took it easy He turned around and went to the upper room.

Yingluo came out to greet her, pointed to the room and said in a low voice: "The princess is still asleep, the Lord won't let me scream, do you want to scream? Mother Wu spoke yesterday."

"Is it more important for Wu Momo to speak, or the princess's body?" Xiong Momo said calmly, Yingluo let out a 'hmm', opened her mouth, and before she could say anything, a blush appeared on her face: "Last night, what happened?" It's quite big, it's been a long time, will the princess be okay?" Madam Xiong squinted at her, her face gradually filled with a smile: "You are young, that's the truth. In the past half a year, how can my heart be ashamed?" , just hanging on like this, and there is no way to say it, the old lady has spoiled the girl's temper, the prince really makes people say nothing, this is the girl's blessing, and the old lady's blessing, this is finally good That's the way it should be, it's good to make noise every night!" Yingluo blinked her eyes again and again, gaining insight.

In Yongguo's mansion, Mrs. Yang was so haggard that she almost lost her shape. She tightly grasped the armrests of the chair with both hands, and the veins on her hands burst out. She stared fiercely at Li Xiaozu and gritted her teeth: "What is she here? Not enough? Is she here for a joke?"

"Auntie, how many times have I told you that the Fifth Younger Sister is not that kind of person, she treats us..." Li Xiaozu seemed to have a terrible headache, Madam Yang spat at him: "Bah! You are just like your old man. She's a bastard! What kind of person is she? Ah? First you kept saying that she didn't count on our family's title, but what happened later? Did you see it? Did you slap her? She just wants our family to die! She will be happy when we die Woolen cloth!"

"Auntie!" Li Xiaozu's face was flushed red: "That's all servants chewing their tongues. It's not like you don't know about the book that Dad wrote. Didn't the Ministry of Rites approve me to inherit the throne? If she really wants to With this title, can I be the prince?"

"The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is surnamed Xu!" Mrs. Yang called loudly, her breath was obviously not enough, Li Xiaozu lowered his head and rubbed his temples, Grandma Zhou glanced at the big girl Li Yuerong who was sitting opposite, she didn't speak, she also not talking.

"Aniang, I've told you three or four times. Xu Shangshu gave me a special opinion and told me clearly. The fifth master read this booklet and only replied to him the next day. Let me be the son of the world. Do you need to understand more? Who will be the son of this world? Xu Shangshu listened to the meaning of the fifth master. The fifth master took it back to the mansion and replied the next day. This is not what the fifth sister meant, but who else could mean it? Xu Jia is willing to offend our family. Fifth Master? A Niang, you have to be reasonable!"

"Why am I being unreasonable? Ah? Okay, it's the business of you men outside this world. I can't control it, and I can't control it. What about your third sister? That's your real sister! You have no conscience." Yes! Your third sister was sent to the nunnery, and you didn't even put your head on! Your third sister has such a temperament that she has never even spoken loudly. Who has she offended? If it wasn't for her, if it wasn't for her behind the scenes, your third sister Is it going to be where it is now? You step up and step down, I have pity on your third sister!" Madam Yang burst into tears as she spoke, "What kind of hatred does she have for coming to me? I stole her marriage. , what's the matter with your third sister? She's coming at me!"

"Aniang, don't cry, Yunshang moved to Fayun nunnery before, didn't I tell you." The eldest girl Li Yuerong also looked haggard, stood up and squatted in front of Mrs. Yang, wiping her tears, While persuading.Mrs. Yang grabbed Li Yuerong and choked with sobs: "Yuerong, to be fair, what's wrong with your third sister? The Yang family bullies people like this, and your brother shrinks his head. Thinking about your third sister's suffering, I really don't want to live Already!"

"Aniang, about the third sister, I asked my grandfather and daughter-in-law, and I also asked Yunshang herself, and several women and girls involved in the matter also called over to ask, A Niang, the third sister is not wrong, do you think Thinking about it, if the third sister did something like the girl from the Xu family, not only would the grandfather and daughter-in-law refuse to persuade her, but would even send a message for her, what do you think?"

"Your third younger sister will never be so shameless and shameless. There is no tutoring! Something happened to her Xu family's wife, it's because they have no tutoring!" Mrs. Yang patted the armrest of the chair and screamed angrily. Li Yunshang hurriedly reached out her hand Caressing her chest, frowning, persuading her in annoyance: "Okay, the third sister would not do such a thing, so she shouldn't help others to do such a thing! Besides, the night that Xu's sister swallowed gold, the third sister How can you talk so much?"

"You?" Mrs. Yang raised her hand to hit Li Yuerong. She raised her hand in the air, but it fell softly. How could her daughter be willing to move a finger? Li Yuerong sighed: "Mother, the matter of the third sister I have told you clearly before and after that you are the head of the family, right and wrong in the middle, I know it clearly in my heart, sending the third sister to Tongsuo Nunnery to practice for a lifetime is very heavy, but now they have accepted the third sister We have lived in Fayun Nunnery, what else can we say?"

"I didn't talk about the Xu family, I meant her. If it wasn't for her, how could something like this happen to your third sister? I don't believe she didn't do anything about it!" Mrs. Yang knew clearly in her heart, but she just held her breath. The heart that loves her daughter is lifted, and the anger in my heart has nowhere to find a way out.

"Then tell me about the third sister, how did the fifth sister hurt her? How did she make it so bad?" Li Yuerong stood up angrily: "Aunt, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. After persuading A Niang, the fifth younger sister can't get along with us, so you should be polite, at least you can leave a little room for communication, but you are good, trying to control her everywhere, this marriage of the Xu family, why are you stretching out your hand? The fifth younger sister took the third younger sister out again and again, why you don't know why? She stole the marriage and told her to a bastard loafer."

"She's not a good thing at all! You're so cruel, didn't you see it? Didn't you see it?" Mrs. Yang yelled with a pale face, and Li Yuerong sighed heavily: "Aniang, isn't it because she's someone you can't afford to mess with?" Why can't you mess with her? You are still confused, don't say that she is not good, take a step back and say that she is just what is, she did it all, so what can you do? You were not in her hands before. Taking half of the advantage, what about now? She is the concubine! You have to make up your mind to offend her to death and drag the whole family into a dead end before you are willing?"

"You!" Mrs. Yang stood up with a 'huh', trembling all over, pointing at Li Yuerong and glaring.

"Aniang, yesterday I went to Fayun Temple to see the third sister. Although I didn't see the third sister, I happened to meet the grandmother of the Xu family's dowry woman. The woman said that their grandmother went to find the princess of Jin'an County and said After talking for a long time, I heard what she meant. Because of the matter of the third younger sister, the Prince's Mansion of Jin'an County was not very happy, so the Xu family hurriedly moved the third younger sister from Tongsuo Temple to Fayun Temple to live first. Listen to what she meant, and wait for their wife If the illness is better, I will take the third sister back." Grandma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward with a smile.

"Why didn't you say such an important matter earlier!" Li Xiaozu blamed dissatisfiedly.

"Because I heard this from that woman. I'm afraid it's just hearsay. I'll say it quickly when I get back. Wouldn't it be a waste of joy? I originally planned to go to Xu's mansion tomorrow, and I made a special trip to ask their grandma to find out. I'll tell you and Aunt again." Grandma Zhou explained in detail with a very good temper, Li Xiaozu gave a 'hmm', and turned to look at Madam Yang, Madam Yang had already sat back, her face relaxed a lot, Li Yuerong looked at Madam Yang , looked at Li Xiaozu again, turned around and sat back and said: "My fifth sister will come back tomorrow, no matter what, nothing unpleasant will come out, I will come over early tomorrow morning, you tell daddy, don't drink tomorrow, the fifth master wants Come on, he has to say a few words with Fifth Master anyway, Aniang, even for Yunshang, you have to welcome her, this high-ranking relative, people will not pay attention to us."

Madam Yang clenched her teeth and twisted her head, and it took a while before she let out a "click" from her throat as her consent.

On the second day, Li Tian and the fifth prince first went to the fourth room of the Li family next to Duke Yong's mansion, drank a few cups of tea, and then got up and walked through the corner gate next to Duke Yong's mansion.

Grandma Zhou had been waiting by the corner gate for a long time. Seeing the fifth prince and Li Tian coming side by side, she didn't dare to say a word, she just led them into the main hall.

At the entrance of the main hall, Li Zhongchao, the Duke of Yong, stood with his face flushed and puffy eyes, his hands behind his hands. It seemed that he had been soaked in wine for too long. After the fifth prince was surprised, he frowned slightly. Li Zhongchao and the fifth prince greeted him politely. He turned his head to look at Li Tian carefully and said with a smile: "Miss Tian looks fine, come here, I'll have a few words with you."

Li Tian was very surprised, and subconsciously glanced at the fifth prince. The fifth prince hesitated, reached out to hold Li Tian's hand, and was about to follow together. Li Zhongchao looked at the hands held by the fifth prince and Li Tian, ​​his face The smile on his face gradually deepened and relaxed, and he looked at the fifth prince with a vain smile and said, "It's just old stories about the Li family's past, don't worry." Li Tian's hand.

Li Tian followed Li Zhongchao into the cubicle next to the main hall, Li Zhongchao slowly sat down on the couch, motioned to Li Tian and said: "Let's sit down and talk." Li Tian sat on the armchair opposite the low couch, Li Zhongchao Looking at her carefully, his eye sockets became wet, and he opened his mouth after a while, "You look like your father, like brother Xian." Li Tian felt a burst of sadness in his heart after saying a word, saying that her father was like a banished fairy characters, alas.

"In the past ten years, I have dreamed of him every day, as well as my father, my wife, and... my aunt." The last aunt, Li Zhongchao's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. Li Tian looked at Li Zhongchao in surprise, not knowing Why did he suddenly say such a thing.

"My aunt was originally a family of scholarly officials. Later, when my father committed a crime, the whole family was confiscated. The women's family members were fine, but the males were sent far away. My aunt was a big family, and only one younger brother survived in the end." Li Zhongchao said very slowly. , slowly uttering each word: "Auntie too... I didn't know that my younger brother was still alive the year Brother Xian died, and I still remember clearly that he stood at the entrance of the alley outside the gate of the house and looked around. , that face and expression, very similar to my aunt, I went to ask him, I brought him into the house, my aunt was crying and laughing, I was always by the side, my aunt asked him a lot of things, he just said He had a good life, and didn’t answer anything else, but I drank a lot of wine with him later, he said.”

Li Zhongchao stopped talking, stared at the void in front of him in a daze, and then he said in a daze and a sense of loss for a long time: "It was many years later that I realized that his appearance was unusual. He seemed to come to say goodbye, to say goodbye to life and death." Li Tian couldn't help but Surprised, Li Zhongchao turned his head to look at Li Tian, ​​his voice returned to normal, and he said slowly: "He said repeatedly that day that he could see his sister, he could see me, and he would die without regret. He said that he had never been here before. , as if he had died a long time ago, saying that he didn't want to enter the mansion at first, he just wanted to take a look at my sister and me from a distance, he said a lot and cried a lot."
