Li Jinghua didn't have time to pay attention to the lawsuit between the Mu family and the Shu family until Concubine Xian entered the palace. Li Jinghua was also a little curious, wondering how the Mu family got into a fight with the Shu family.

When Qi Xiuyuan came to her place for dinner, he said with a smile, "Ah Ling doesn't seem to like the Shu family."

She noticed it five years ago, but she felt that Mu Yangling was doing it for herself, but combined with this incident, I'm afraid things are not that simple.

Qi Xiuyuan knew Shu Wanniang's identity when Mu Shi joined the army, and he guessed right about what the Shu family did to Shu Wanniang and the Mu family. : "The Mu Shu family comes from the fourth house of the Shu family. When Mu Shi joined the army, it was the Shu family's hands and feet. Don't worry about this matter, let them solve it by themselves. It's almost the same when they get angry in their chests."

Li Jinghua was taken aback, "This, what kind of enmity is this?"

A cold light flashed in Qi Xiuyuan's eyes, and he said: "It was the fourth house of the Shu family who did it. The other children of the Shu family who were officials in the court are still useful, but they were attached to Qin Fang back then and committed many things. If they are sincere If I correct it, I will pretend that I don’t know about those things, and if I commit the crime again, I don’t mind to settle the old and new scores together.”

The old account that Qi Xiuyuan talked about was about Xiaobao's premature birth.

Li Jinghua nodded slightly, and summoned Mu Yangling into the palace to meet her the next day. She has been silent all these years, which does not mean she has forgotten what happened back then. It was indeed her bad luck back then. Excuse me, after so many years, although she will not like them, she will not hate them too much.

But now that she has the opportunity to make the Shu family unhappy, she naturally wants to intervene.

So she hoped that Mu Yangling would take her with her when she vented her anger, as long as she could help, just ask.

Seeing that she didn't shy away from the emperor, Mu Yangling knew that Li Jinghua didn't plan to make big moves, so he slapped the Shu family in the face, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, he held her hand and said, "Next year, newcomers will be admitted to each palace one after another. How is your health?"

Li Jinghua smiled wryly, and said: "The imperial doctor made an agreement a year ago, but I am not pregnant until now, I think there will only be Xiaobao in this life."

This year, if Qi Xiuyuan didn't live in the main hall and study room, he would come to her place and live like an ordinary couple. In the past three months, Qi Xiuyuan has obviously paid more attention to sex, Li Jinghua vaguely guessed that he also wanted to give Xiaobao is a direct brother, so that he can be more helpful. After all, the Li family shows weakness and cannot give Xiaobao much help.

But even with such frequent intercourse, she still gets pregnant every year. Li Jinghua has given up now and does not desire to have another child.

Thinking of this, Li Jinghua sighed again, and said: "The emperor has few heirs, so I'm afraid it will be bad for the country. Later, help me to see if there are any girls who are strong and easy to give birth among the officials below, and give me a list... "

Mu Yangling 囧囧 looked at her with spirit, and said, "How could I look at that?"

"It's true," Li Jinghua said worryingly, "but the daughters of officials are all sent to the palace, and it's not easy for me to ask the imperial doctor to feel their pulse."

Mu Yangling whispered: "You can find a doctor girl, but does the emperor know about this?"

Li Jinghua smiled and said: "The selection of concubines is a matter for the harem, so there is no need to notify the emperor."

Mu Yangling looked at her distrustfully.

Li Jinghua tapped her forehead, and said with a low laugh: "You, you said you were clever but you became dull again. The list that can get to me will naturally pass the emperor's hand first."

Whose daughters can enter the palace and whose daughters cannot enter the palace, it is natural that the emperor first selects the list before handing over the list to the empress. As for the number of those who can stay, the empress chooses how many people can stay.

In fact, Qi Xiuyuan doesn't like to use the harem to control the former dynasty, because it will easily lead to the seizure of the heir, causing chaos in the harem and the royal family. Li Jinghua also knows Qi Xiuyuan well, and knows that the ones who will be sent to her in the end must be officials with little real power. daughter.

And what she has to do is to choose for Qi Xiuyuan a concubine who is good in character and appearance and easy to raise, so that he can flourish.

Although the selection of concubines will start after the spring of next year, the emperor and empress are now beginning to screen the list. The ladies in Beijing also know this, and they have been very active recently, hoping that they can be in the eyes of the emperor or empress.

But the Li family has a way that no one else has. After the concubine enters the palace, the emperor still rests in the Kunning Palace more often. The concubine is also favored, but it will not surpass the empress in the short term.

However, there are too few concubines in the harem, and there are only two of them, so it is impossible to compare them. Both the queen and the concubine Xian are very beautiful. Therefore, if an official wants to send his daughter to the palace, if the daughter's appearance is lower than that of the empress and concubine Xian I'm too embarrassed to take it out.

Therefore, recently, some beautiful little girls who are as gentle as water, glamorous and noble, or delicate and cute are active in the capital, but the two little girls brought into the palace by Li Jian are both docile and obedient. Beautiful, but a little timid standing below, does not appear to be brilliant.

Li Jinghua sneered, thinking she would let them into the palace if she was obedient?

The Li family can only have her in the harem. If there are too many, not only will the emperor get bored, but she will no longer be the only one in the Li family.

But Li Jian felt that Li Jinghua would not be pregnant again, and the eldest prince had few helpers. If the Li family could re-enter and give birth to a prince, it would only be good for the eldest prince in the future, and there would be no harm.

There is no harm in this and it is just Li Jian's coaxing words.

Li Jinghua sneered as Li Jian and his people disappeared from sight. Li Chi sat in the wheelchair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the queen. The Li family has no foundation in the capital. Everything depends on you. No matter how old the second uncle is." My heart has to be closed at this time."

Li Jinghua let out a breath and said, "Brother, the Li family is relying on me now, but what about ten or twenty years from now?"

Li Chi smiled and said, "By then, the First Prince will have grown up, so naturally you don't have to worry."

Li Jinghua asked: "Xiaobao grows up, will our mother and son not be favored by the emperor?"

Li Chi was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, Li Jinghua pointedly said: "All this was given by the emperor, so he can take it back naturally."

"What your mother said is that I am short-sighted." Li Chi bowed slightly, looking at his younger sister who still had a young face, he had to admit that she had grown a lot.

"So, the Li family will never allow a second woman to enter the palace." Li Jinghua said firmly with a cold gleam in his eyes.

If there are two women from the Li family in the harem, the balance will be broken. She knows her husband well, he won't like it, and even bringing her with her will be disgusted by him.

Li Jinghua looked at the eldest brother's legs and said, "Brother, the emperor doesn't know much about some etiquettes, but you are very knowledgeable. I remember that you have almost searched all the books in our Li family."

Li Chi smiled and said, "I knew what you were thinking when you wrote me a letter. This time I didn't come empty-handed, and I brought a cart full of books."

A light flashed in Li Jinghua's eyes, and said: "Then you can stay for dinner tonight, the emperor has always wanted to see you."

Do you really think that she wrote Li Jian to come to the capital to win him over? Her goal was never Li Jian and the few Li family children he brought, but her amazingly talented brother. Her brother was once a genius of the Li family and the number one heir of the Li family. He had to live in seclusion because of his broken legs, and had to hide his talents.
