Chapter 370 Who Owns the Palace?

But what would be the oddity?Announcing the Imperial Physician, could it be that he is really sick?

Liuli called Dongmei over: "Go and find out, what's wrong with Madam?"

Dongmei walked around the palace and came back, then raised the curtain and came in and said to Liuli, "Grandma, I heard that Madam has been lying in bed for a few days, and she smashed all the things in the room a few days ago, and then she said that she has a headache. Every day, the second master served soup and medicine in front of him. Last night, the third master went back to the main mansion to pay his respects, and stayed with him for half the night."

I still have to pray for Yunjing to serve the decoction, is it so serious?Liuli recalled yesterday when the maids told her that Mrs. Mei had people whipping the slaves in the room, it didn't look like she was sick at all.

"How is the second master's attitude towards his wife recently?" she asked.

Dongmei said: "Since the illness, it has improved a lot. Although the second master was very stubborn when he got up, he is usually a person with no opinions. He has never left Madam's side, and I don't know Madam. I said something to him in the past few days, and I have been very obedient in the past few days."

Liuli fell silent after hearing this, this is a sign that Mrs. Mei is trying to win Brother Qi Yunjing back!Although these two are her own sons, there is no such thing as a win-win, but these two have been estranged from her for so long, and at this moment she suddenly thinks of them, isn't it just a win-win?Could it be because she felt the indifference of King Dingbei towards her, so she thought of pretending to be sick to win over her son?After all, only her own son is her future guarantee.

Thinking of this, Liuli didn't take it seriously, as long as Mrs. Mei didn't get involved in her affairs and would be her stepmother honestly, then even if she locked those two brothers in her own room, it wouldn't be her business, after all, they were mother and son.

Wu Zhong finished the matter the next day, and the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop that had been supplying the Wangfu for a long time personally brought two thousand catties of wax and oil to the Wangfu.While Wu Zhong asked people to unload the goods, he secretly notified Liuli.Liu Li said casually: "Take him to Rongxi Hall after unloading. If Madam doesn't give it, I'll wait for the prince to come back."

After Wu Zhong left, Liuli played with Xiao Dulu for a while, and Ji Jiaoer came to tell: "The madam asked the second master to take care of it, and said that she was ill and it was inconvenient to deal with the middle class, so let the second master replace her."

Liuli paused for a moment, she thought that Mrs. Mei would be furious, but she didn't expect her to push Qi Yunjing out calmly. If Qi Yunjing came out to take her place, she would come out to intervene in internal affairs after confinement. , there will inevitably be conflicts with Qi Yunjing.In this case, Qi Yunjing's little respect for himself will definitely be wiped out by these trivial matters.Moreover, Qi Yunjing replaced Mei Shi in managing the inner house, which shows that Mei Shi has great expectations for him. Didn't Qi Yunjing decisively stand back to his mother because of this?
She thought for a moment and said, "How is Ruyi doing now?"

Chunxiang opened the curtain and came in, saying, "Grandma, Aunt Ru from the second room is coming to say hello."

Just as Cao Cao was about to arrive, Liu Li waved her hand, "Let her in."

After Ruyi was lifted up as an aunt, because Qi Yunjing and Liuli had occasional contacts, she also came to Chaoqingtang for a few times. After He Yuhua was divorced, there was basically no relationship between the two, but because the original agreement was Liuli would reach out to help her when she could, and she never thought of breaking this line.

But now that she's here, Liuli doesn't think it's as simple as just visiting each other to make friends.

Ruyi was quickly brought in, facing Liuli Fushen.

Liuli was still leaning against the head of the bed.Today's Ruyi is no longer the little girl who cried helplessly in front of Liuli at Hongxiu's place. Now she has a status that many people envy--the aunt of the second master of the Dingbei Prince's Mansion. Although she is also a concubine, she must Look at which concubine it is, there is no mistress in the second room, and she is favored, so she is naturally comparable to half a mistress.

Liuli took a look at her brand-new stone blue dress covered with golden makeup and flowers, and then at the four or five dazzling pearl hairpins stuck in her bun, smiled, and took the milk soup that was just warm enough to eat He sighed, pointed to the seat under the bed, and said: "Looking at you like this, it's like seeing the wife of an official below."

Ruyi blushed, but she couldn't hide her smile, "Grandma is teasing me." Taking advantage of the situation, she wanted to sit down, but when Liuli pointed her to sit on Zhang Xiaozi, she couldn't help but froze.

Liuli didn't seem to see it, so he smiled and said to Chunxiang, "Go and make a cup of tea for Aunt Ru."

Ruyi had no choice but to sit down on the twig.

Liuli smiled and said, "Why are you here today?"

Ruyi glanced out of the window, smiled, and said: "Second Lord's yamen doesn't have much business, so he took care of the house affairs on behalf of his wife, and now I'm busy, and I'm bored in the room. Remembering that I haven’t visited grandma for many days, I came to visit.”

Liuli said: "It's really thoughtful. With the second master in charge of Zhongfu in the mansion, the natural appearance is very different."

Ruyi smiled and said: "Our second master still has a job after all, and he is only a temporary agent. In the future, we will have to rely on grandma to take charge of the overall situation."

"What am I?" Liuli said with a slight smile: "In the end, the prince is the master. Whether it's my wife, me, or the second master, it's all for the sake of taking good care of this family. Only the palace is united, and everyone shares the honor." Only then can we live a good life, if we have our own crooked thoughts, then no matter how great the head of the family is, no matter how much favor he receives from the emperor, he will lose face. What do you think?"

Liuli took a sip of the milk soup, the smile on her face remained the same.She didn't understand Ruyi's little thought. Now that the Second Household has no mistress, and praying for Jing Yun to be in charge of the family, of course the Second Household will benefit.Aunt Mo is out of favor right now, and now Ruyi is in charge of the second room. As she said, Qi Yunjing still has other affairs, so when he is not in the mansion, isn't it Ruyi who will take care of him?The second bedroom is Mei's own biological child, as long as it is managed by the second bedroom, Mei won't have any objections.But for Liuli, being with an aunt who is in the same position as Guan Zhongfei not only loses her status, but also she can't lose face to argue with her when there is a disagreement, because Ruyi represents the Mei family, Liuli must also give her face, otherwise There is suspicion of suppression.

From the time when she was planning to use her to deal with He Yuhua, Liuli knew that Ruyi was not a good person, and she came here today to express to Liuli that the second wife wanted to compete with the elder for an equal status.Liuli knew long ago that she would inevitably end up with her, otherwise, why would she keep Wuyue for Qi Yunjing?Before Qi Yunhao and she moved out of the palace, it was impossible for the second and third bedrooms to be in charge of the family.

Ruyi's face blushed immediately after hearing this, it was the embarrassment of being seen through her mind.In front of Liuli, she seemed unable to straighten her waist.

"Grandma said that. Our second master also meant the same thing." She forced a smile and lowered her knees.Today's Liuli is no longer the concubine who was born secretly in the He Mansion back then. With Qi Yunzhen's love for her day by day, King Dingbei's trust in her day by day, and the disastrous defeats of He Yuhua and Duan Wenhui made her Fei Kuai possessed unbreakable self-confidence and a strong heart that could not be defeated. She was always like this in front of her, unconsciously showing this kind of humbleness.

Ruyi sat for a while and then left. From the pride when she first entered the door to the embarrassment when she finally left, the change is amazing.But no one heard what Liuli said about her, and she didn't even show her face from the beginning to the end.Her embarrassment seemed like she had made some mistake in front of Liuli.

Praying for Jing Yun to give in the palm of his hand, Liuli's reaction to this was calm.She is taking care of her health right now, and she can't take care of it if she wants to, so she just waits for him to take care of it. How come King Dingbei has sent a message to let her take care of Zhongfu. Whatever she wants to do, wait until she is out of college after three months. Let's talk about confinement.

After recuperating for more than ten days, her body gradually recovered. An accident happened in the palace, and now it is not so convenient for the imperial doctor to leave the palace.Fortunately, Qi Yunhao was in the palace every day, and brought Wu Zixin back to the house every few days to show her pulse.With the imperial doctor in charge of treatment, even the weakest parturient can recover well, not to mention that Liuli had already taken care of her body before she became pregnant.

Little Dulu has adapted to this world very quickly, and now she is able to wear only unlined clothes and wave her hands and feet in the warm pavilion. Ruier has been admitted to the hospital more and more, and she is also extremely careful with Little Dulu.The two nuns, Huang Yu, were thinking about how to nourish the little guy every day. Seeing that the small body, which was not thin before, became more and more rounded, Qi Yunhao sighed and hugged it in his hands.

With so many people taking care of her carefully, Liuli can spare herself to take care of the unfinished business at hand.For example, Zhongyonghou's mansion, or Xu Yuan and Jin Xuanjin's mansion for a good talk.

Marquis Zhongyong was made a fuss by Qi Zhengyu, and was punished by the queen to kneel for a whole day. These days, he actually fell ill. This illness naturally led to the matter of who should inherit the title.So the Hou Mansion has always been in a state of turmoil, and sometimes the noise can be heard beyond the walls. Because of the restlessness in the house, the children of the mansion have become more and more fond of lingering in the romantic place recently, which has caused many troubles.

Zhongyonghou fell ill, and Wuyue's situation was not so safe. Liuli asked Ji Jiaoer to send her a letter, asking her to get some criminal evidence from Zhongyong Mansion as soon as possible and then leave the mansion—even if it is relevant evidence, if there is no definite criminal evidence, then She also doesn't mind forging two copies.

After Zhongyonghou finished his orders, he prepared someone to pick up Xu Yuan, his wife and Jin Xuan.Since the two of them came to Beijing, she was pregnant for several months, and she didn't have a good conversation in these months.Now that there are few people coming and going to the palace, she can get out of bed to meet guests again, so she sent people to invite them every few days. Get used to it slowly.

Jin Xuan still remembered Liuli's chess smell, but Liuli remembered his eel soup, so he asked someone to dig a few catties from the Zhuangzi, and asked him to slaughter it himself and cook it in the kitchen.Jin Xuan is good at cooking, best at Sichuan and Hunan fresh coriander dishes, Xu Yuan Junzi Yuanspore cooks, but he is very willing to help.The maids saw that the two talked elegantly but did not stick to small details, so they wanted to get close to each other. The whole courtyard was lively and lively, which was very rare when the situation was tense.
