I rely on you
Author: Apple Atang
In a secret room, the man was talking to a steward.
"I heard that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty has been ill recently, and the situation in the Southern Dynasty is very unclear." He said to the steward, "Let's put the poisoning aside for now. If that person can win in the end, let's talk about it later. If he loses, why bother?
Make wedding clothes for others."
The steward said: "Those generals are very vigilant now, and it is not easy to strike. Besides, they have not handled their own affairs well, and they still point fingers at us, which is really uncomfortable."
The man smiled: "You can become a master by enduring hardships. Let's not break with them now. We must leave some room for everything. In case they win, our plan must continue. Now let's see, it's
Tell them that we are working hard to advance, but how far we have advanced is not our own business."
The steward said: "Speaking of which, the Dingbei Prince's Mansion is really guarded like an iron barrel. We sent several groups of people, but they didn't even get through the door. We asked people to inquire about things, but they couldn't find out anything. They
Even those who deliver food and vegetables are strictly guarded at home. As soon as they reach the alley outside the back door, someone immediately comes to pick them up, but they are not even allowed to approach the door."
The man laughed: "It's boring to break in so easily. It's like playing chess. It's fun only when you meet your opponent."
The steward bowed and responded.
The man said: "Just follow what I just said, slow down all your actions. Go and prepare a food box, write down what I said, put it in the mezzanine, and let the woman take it back to her parents' home."
The steward took the order and left.
In Prince Ning's Mansion, the princess looked at Li Liang unhappily: "What are you doing here?"
Li Liang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please let me say something."
The princess was immediately alert: "What does the prince have to say?"
Li Liang's expression did not change and he said: "My lord understands that you are worried day and night for the third son. He specially asked me to come here. Let me tell you that if there is a day of separation in the future, the eldest son's share will not be given to him, and his share will be given to him."
To supply the third young master, in addition, starting from this year, the prince will give you an allowance of ten thousand silver every year. Do you think you are satisfied with it?"
After hearing this, the princess asked: "What about Xinghe?"
Li Liang said: "The prince will talk to the eldest son. You don't have to worry about this."
The princess hesitated for a moment.
Li Liang said: "We in Prince Ning's Palace are also powerful people in the capital. We can't really lose our dignity. There are some things where going too far is worse than going wrong. Don't you think so?"
The princess snorted and said: "That's fine. Since the prince said so, forget it." Then she told Wang Auntie, "Go and tell the servants who will come later to settle the accounts in the accounting room and find all the children of the original families.
Come, where were you before, and where are you going back now?"
Aunt Wang was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to speak, the princess suddenly looked over with sharp eyes. Aunt Wang suddenly understood. It turned out that the princess had always known it in her heart. She felt cold from head to toe, and said tremblingly: "I'm going to
Go, go right now..." He said, as if running away, he left the house.
Li Liang watched her go out coldly, turned around and said to the princess: "Princess, then I will resign." With that, he turned around and went out.
People in the palace soon learned the news, and everyone in the palace was talking about it.
Within a few days, Grandma Wang fell ill. The princess showed mercy and let her out of the house. Her husband and her son also got grace and were released from the house. As for where Grandma Wang and her family went, no one knows.
The palace gradually returned to calm. Everyone's monthly money was restored. Everyone slowly began to smile again.
But just when everyone thought that the matter was over, there was a rumor in the palace that the prince was going to have a concubine. This news was like a drop of water in a frying pan, which only caused the whole palace to bloom. The princess finally heard about it
She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She said to the new Aunt Liu: "Go and find Li Liang for me. I want to find out where this rumor came from!"
Aunt Liu did not dare to delay, so she hurriedly came outside the prince's study and said to the boy guarding her: "Brother, please go and inform me that the princess wants to see Mr. Li."
The boy looked at her and said, "Just wait." After saying that, he turned around and entered the study.
After a while, Li Liang came out, looked at Grandma Liu and said, "Let's go." After that, he went to the princess's yard.
When the princess saw Li Liang coming, she picked up the tea cup and threw it away, "What's the matter with you! You let rumors spread in the palace! What do you do!"
Li Liang dodged away and asked in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I wonder which rumor you are talking about, Princess?"
The princess said: "There are rumors in the palace that the prince wants to take a concubine. What is going on!"
Li Liang said calmly: "This is not a rumor. The prince has already chosen a candidate and is going to give the betrothal gift soon."
The princess was stunned: "What did you say? Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing? I am his legitimate wife!"
Li Liang looked at her, still calm, and said: "My lord originally wanted to tell you, but you are so focused on the Third Young Master that you ignore everything. My lord thinks it's better not to bother you.
You have a son at an old age and you cherish him very much. The prince took in the concubine just to share the housework with you so that you can better take care of the third son. Isn't this good?"
The princess felt cold in her heart. She looked at Li Liang fiercely, "If you don't nod, I want to see who is willing to be the concubine!"
Li Liang said: "Everyone in the capital knows about everything you have done for the Third Young Master. Whether you nod or not, I think no one cares too much. That's why there are many people who are willing to marry me.
The prince has chosen and chosen, chosen again and again, and finally decided on the candidate. You must be satisfied."
The princess forced a smile and said: "Manager Li, who did the prince choose?"
Li Liang looked at her with pity: "She is Miss Yao Feiyan, the legitimate second daughter of Prince Zhengxi. The prince has already agreed with them that as soon as Miss Yao gets married, she will take care of your house, and you can also rest and recuperate, right?
?”
The princess held back her tears and said angrily: "I'm just a legitimate second daughter, so what!"
Li Liang said: "Your Majesty said that the betrothal gift will be given in three days. Next month, although she is a concubine, she must follow the ancient etiquette and cannot neglect Miss Yao. You don't need to worry about the wedding banquet. Your Majesty said
, Just educate the third young master well." After saying that, he turned around and left without bowing.
The princess howled angrily.
When Li Liang heard the crying behind him, he snorted and walked away minding his own business.
Zhao Xinghe heard about this incident when he returned home.
Xia Yuwei said: "In our family, it is inevitable that concubines and concubines will fight, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will fight, and husband and wife will turn against each other. These are all common occurrences. As long as my mother is calmer, my father will not slap her in the face easily. As long as my father still respects her, this will
I won’t be afraid of life anymore.”
Zhao Xinghe also sighed: "Mom, you are trying to be smart, and the result is...sigh..."
Xia Yuwei said: "The family is in a mess now, and we can't help. One is your father, and the other is your mother. You can't help anyone, so let's just watch. I guess my mother will have a hard time."
Yes. I will keep asking for information, so she doesn’t really suffer."
Zhao Xinghe sighed and said: "The things in this mansion are more complicated than marching and fighting. It's really a headache."
Xia Yuwei said: "Leave these matters to me, don't worry."
Zhao Xinghe rested his head on Xia Yuwei's shoulder, looking awkward and awkward.
Xia Yuwei coaxed him and said, "Don't worry, Mom has you. She is also Prince Dingbei's biological mother. If Concubine Yao is sensible, she won't do anything to her."
Zhao Xinghe whispered in her ear: "Weiwei, I'm relying on you. At least you should take care of her, you know?"
Xia Yuwei nodded: "I understand."
Zhao Xinghe came over again and said: "Last time, what did you do... I want to do like the first time... okay?"
Xia Yuwei blushed: "You are really..."
Zhao Xinghe leaned against her ear and said softly: "This is the first time..."
Xia Yuwei smiled but said nothing.
