Chapter 178: Meeting in-laws

Gao Lishi and Li Mao left, and Changsun and his son returned to the study worriedly. Changsun Hongren said, "Did your father see it? Eunuch Gao is also quite helpless with Li Mao."

"I saw it!"

Changsun Nanhao sighed softly, "The emperor is so stupid. How can such a prince with a low eye can do great things!"

Li Mao’s reputation in the court was not very good. His reputation was not a bad comment like Li Cui who bullies men and women and commits all kinds of evil, but a bad comment that only those who are too arrogant and have low skills can be mediocre. Especially the incident of his arrest of Liu Feiteng in Liangzhou has become a joke in the court.

"Maybe the emperor doesn't know!" Changsun Hongren was helpless and asked him to find Li Feng's illegitimate son?

"Father, the key is how should we choose?"

Changsun Nanhao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. He did encounter a problem. He was more inclined to the shrewd and capable Li Xiu, and he and Li Xiu had exchanges of interests.

But the emperor was on the side of the disgusting Li Mao. If he did not support Li Mao, would he annoy the emperor?

"Father, I have an idea!" Changsun Hongren said carefully.

Changsun Nanhao glanced at his son, "You said!"

"The child thinks that Li Xiu has not withdrawn. He must be still implementing the plan secretly, otherwise he would not have visited us yesterday."

Changsun Nanhao nodded. This was also expected by him. The deal they and Li Xiu reached yesterday would never be terminated because of Li Mao's sudden appearance. What's more, one of Li Xiu's targets is Li Mao?

"The key is if we don't help Li Mao, but in the end we stand by Li Xiu's side, what will the emperor think?"

"Father, I don't think we have to worry too much about this issue. At the last moment, we just need to stand firm in the overall situation. This is not a conflict between Li Xiu and Li Mao, but a fight between the emperor and the regent."

Changsun Nanhao nodded. He understood what his son meant. They just needed not to take the wrong team in the overall situation, and other sub-sections were not that important.

"You're right, let's go with the flow!"

.........

After leaving Changsun Mansion, Gao Lishi hurried back to the palace. Although Li Mao also went to the palace to meet his mother, Gao Lishi no longer wanted to go with him.

Whether in terms of personal feelings or rational judgment, Gao Lishi tends to Li Xiu. He really disgusted with Li Mao's pretentiousness and arrogance.

Li Mao showed arrogance and ignorance in Changsun’s mansion really worried him. How could he easily expose the bottom line of finding Li Feng’s illegitimate son when he met Changsun and his son for the first time?

After all, Li Feng is Changsun Nanhao's nephew! If Changsun Nanhao wants to find a balance between the emperor and the regent, he will hint that Li Feng, which will result in the waste of all his previous efforts here.

Li Mao is too naive. What would he do if it were Li Xiu? He would definitely seize the handle of the Changsun family first and then talk about cooperation with them.

How could the emperor give Li Mao such an important task? The emperor made another mistake in Wu Huifei. The last time the Liu Feiteng incident caused the Ministry of Revenue to be in trouble, and the emperor actually forgot it.

Gao Lishi was helpless. The emperor was very smart in all aspects. However, he repeatedly made tricks on Concubine Wu Hui. He could not persuade him deeply. He could only watch the emperor make another mistake.

"I'm afraid this opportunity to weaken the Regent will be lost!" Gao Lishi looked out the car window and sighed softly.

............

In the afternoon, Wu Xian Concubine, who had just been named the imperial concubine, brought dozens of palace maids and eunuchs to Li Xiu's palace under the escort of a large number of guards. Although she was not very famous, Wu Xian Concubine left the palace this time was only considered a condom. The difference was that the formal and informal exit of the palace.

This is something that has been arranged long ago. It is about to get married, but the parents of both parties have not met. Although the identities of the two parties are very different, they are marrying their daughters and daughters after all, and it is unreasonable to see each other without seeing each other.

So today, Concubine Wu Xian came to her son's palace and met Yang Yuhuan's parents, and discussed the marriage with them.

Yang Xuanyan and Liu were really nervous. Although Li Xiu had repeatedly comforted them, they still seemed trembling and restless in front of Wu Xianyi's noble demeanor.

After a few greetings, Concubine Wu apologized: "I originally wanted to be more glorious at this wedding, but Xiu'er wanted to be low-key, but his father also praised him for his frugality. I had no choice but to feel wronged Yuhuan."

Yang Xuanyan and his wife sat down at the bottom. Yang Xuanyan kicked his wife with his feet. Liu quickly responded: "My Yuhuan has never been vain since she was a child. She doesn't like to be a novice. She should be her intention to get married in a low-key manner, and then let the palace down make the decision."

Yang Xuanyan also added: "There is only a few months after her grandfather passed away, and we also think it is not appropriate to be arrogant, so Yuhuan's grandmother did not come here either. The princess must not feel any guilt."

Liu hated that her husband couldn't speak, so he discussed the wedding and mentioned the old man's death. She gritted her teeth secretly and reached out to squeeze her husband's waist hard.

Only then did Yang Xuanyan realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he felt even more uneasy.

Although Concubine Wu Xian felt uncomfortable when she heard the other party mentioning the death of the old man, she also saw that the other party was sincere and did not mind the wedding, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Concubine Wu Xian still lacks a little bit of enthusiasm in terms of human relationships. It doesn’t matter whether the wedding is simple or not, what is important is the interests.

The money is still so much. When the ceremony is simple, the gifts will increase accordingly. You can also give your daughter a large dowry. If there is such a good thing, who will care about that kind of vain ritual?

The two sides discussed some details of the wedding. Concubine Wu Xian pondered for a while and said to Liu: "There is something I want to talk to my mother-in-law alone to see if it is convenient for me to do it?"

"Of course there is no problem!"

Concubine Wu Xian immediately asked the palace maids to go down, and Yang Xuanyan also went down, leaving only Concubine Liu and Concubine Wu Xian in the lobby.

Concubine Wu Xian sighed and said, "I have no other children, I only gave birth to Xiu'er. My biggest wish is to have a large group of grandchildren, but it is probably not realistic to rely on Yuhuan alone, so I am also considering asking Xiu'er to take a concubine."

Liu suddenly remembered something, and felt aroused in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Xiu'er is the king's lord, of course there is no problem with taking a concubine. I will not object. Moreover, I heard from my husband that Wang's lord is still a rule to get married."

"It's not called a rule, but a royal etiquette. Xiu'er will soon be named a prince. His father's intention is that he can get married according to the prince's level this time. When the marriage falls, there may be more than Yuhuan who will get married."

Liu's face changed, "Empress, what does it mean?"

"Don't be nervous, listen to me slowly. I know that in addition to the wife of ordinary people, there are one or two dowry maids who will become concubines in the future when they get married.

The same is true for a prince to get married, but the royal family is not called a dowry maid, but a married private official. There is no need to wait for the future to become a regular person, and the concubine will be the day of marriage.

Under normal circumstances, the Crown Princess's marriage is named Liang Di, and the Princess's marriage is named Liang Yuan."

Liu sighed a little relieved and said, "I understand. When getting married, there must be two brides who marry together and get married with the bride."

"That's what it means. Two daughters who marry together are usually selected by the Palace Interior Affairs Office and are selected from the daughters of all the officials of the court. But I want to come over this matter, that is, I will choose. There are some reasons here, and I believe my mother-in-law knows it."

Liu's face became hot. She understood what the princess meant. Their family was just an ordinary person and her daughter became a wife. If she chose the daughter of a high-ranking official as a concubine, it would be inappropriate in status and everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Liu said quietly: "The Empress is intent!"

"I chose the first person. I raised her since I was a child. I regarded her as my daughter and followed Xiu'er for many years. If you don't say it, you know who it is?"

"Little Eyebrow!"

Concubine Wu Xian nodded, "It's her. She takes care of Xiu'er in close proximity and has a close relationship. It's the most suitable thing for her to do a dowry."

"I wonder who the second person is?"

"Let me choose the second person for my mother-in-law! You can also choose the clan girl of Yuhuan and cousin."

The implication of Concubine Wu Xian’s words is that she cannot choose a maid or a maid, and she must have a certain status.

Liu bit his lip and plucked up the courage to say, "Is Yuhuan's sister Yu Pei OK?"

"Jade pendant?"

Concubine Wu Xian laughed, "Of course my sister can marry a husband together, I like that child very much. Her master, Qingluo Fairy, lived in the palace for ten years, taught Princess Yuzhen to learn swords, took Xiaomei's aunt as her apprentice, and I also learned to prescribe medicine from her. It's really fate. The key is whether she is willing or not?"

"Of course she wants to, she told me in person that she likes His Highness very much!"

Xiaomei was the candidate that Concubine Wu Xian had already decided, but the right to decide on taking a concubine was in the hands of the wife, so Concubine Wu Xian handed over the decision of another concubine to Liu, actually wanted Liu to discuss with her daughter, but Liu decided on another daughter.
