Mrs. Li originally thought that as long as she was protected, she would be able to raise her daughter until she grew old.
Anyway, she is the only mistress in the Zhao family, so no one dares to raise objections to her.
But suddenly, Li's luck was cut off by a knife.
The dynasty at this time was called Da Chu.
The late emperor was injured when he was competing for the throne with the princes. He died two years after he ascended the throne, leaving only the women in the harem and the princes.
Queen Suxing reacted promptly and immediately contacted her parents' family to help her eldest son ascend to the throne.
After that, he beat his princes repeatedly and sent them all to the fiefdoms. Even his own Prince Duan was not left behind.
He also ordered that he would not be allowed to enter Beijing in his lifetime unless summoned.
As soon as the news came out, not to mention the uproar in the front court, even the harem burst into tears.
Those officials who were related to the concubines originally wanted to plead with the young emperor.
However, after seeing that the queen even cruelly sent away her 7-year-old son, she gave up her thoughts and could only send more appropriate personal followers to assist the "princes" in renovating the fiefdom.
Originally, everyone thought that the Queen Mother would also be the master of "Fairy Chicken Sichen" in the future.
Even the imperial censors have prepared their death remonstrances in the future.
But who would have thought that after the emperor's wedding, the queen mother actually made a gorgeous exit.
She handed over all the power in her hands to the emperor, and gave the right to control the harem to the queen.
He took a group of concubines and moved to the side hall.
In addition to Cining Palace where she lived, other concubines were placed in Shoukang Palace, Ningshou Palace, and Shou'an Palace according to their rank.
From the day she moved out, the Queen Mother not only stopped taking part in the government affairs, but also organized a music troupe to listen to great plays in Cining Palace.
Some officials who had been rejected by the emperor thought of going to the Queen Mother to file a complaint.
Not only will you be blocked at the entrance of Cining Palace, you may even be beaten out with sticks by the nuns guarding the palace.
Since then, everyone has completely stopped thinking.
Today, more than thirty years have passed since King Feng left the capital.
The court was stable, the emperor was kind, the queen was virtuous, and she never treated the concubines harshly in terms of food and clothing.
Some concubines who were respectable in front of the Queen Mother had been taken to the fiefdom by their sons to support them.
The remaining ones did not dare to provoke the Queen easily, so their retirement life was quite peaceful.
It wasn't until the emperor was 45 years old and King Duan was 40 years old that something happened to King Duan's fiefdom.
The fiefdom originally given to King Duan by the Queen Mother was adjacent to the Uighurs.
The two places have been doing trade all year round, so although they are a border, they are relatively prosperous.
But King Qianduan took advantage of the situation and said that the Uighurs were about to make a move and seemed to be doing something evil.
The emperor felt guilty for Prince Duan.
In order to block Yuyou's mouth, the Queen Mother sent her youngest son away together. Since then, the two brothers have never seen each other again.
Thinking of the young brother who pulled the hem of his clothes and called him brother with a kiss, the emperor's heart suddenly softened, and he immediately sent Dingyuan General Zhao Shi to welcome Duan Wang's family back to the capital.
But Zhao Shi's departure happened to be the beginning of Li's misfortune.
As time goes by, it's already too late.
The frontier was lost and six cities were lost in a row.
Prince Duan and his crown prince died in battle, and the princess hanged herself.
When Zhao Shi arrived, the only ones who arrived were able to save his loyal servants and protect them, while those who fled in a hurry were like the princess and young master Wen Yi.
It is said that Wan Ru originally wanted to die with the princess, but she considered taking care of her younger brother, so she lived an ignoble life.
After knowing that he had been rescued, it was as if the princess had put an end to her worries, and kept making Zhao Shi promise to take good care of her brother.
Not to mention Wan Ru's identity as a princess, Zhao Shi's eldest daughter was as strong as a bull, and the younger daughter was tightly restrained by the Li family and was not close to him on weekdays.
Just like this weak and crying girl, it immediately inspired Zhao Shi's fatherly heart.
As a result, he paid more attention to Wanru's movements and successfully saved Wanru who wanted to die several times.
Maybe it was because he was saved more by Zhao Shi, as if he relied more on Zhao Shi.
Whenever she felt sad, she would lie in Zhao Shi's arms and cry bitterly.
And Zhao Shi would hug Wanru at the right time and comfort her silently.
As for the soldiers, they did not feel that their general's actions were inappropriate. They all looked at the poor Princess Wanru with pity, hoping that she could draw strength from their general.
After Zhao Shi returned to Beijing with his people, it seemed that the princess had become what Zhao Shi called a "little bowl."
This title was like begging Zhao Shi, because she hoped to hear the nickname given to her by her father again.
After Wan Ru returned to Beijing, the door of Cining Palace opened, and the Queen Mother, who had not been out of the palace for a long time, personally welcomed her in.
The Queen Mother not only wanted to keep Wanru in the palace, but also prepared to give Wen Yi a letter to invite him to be crown prince.
Because she owed this to King Duan.
But Wan Ru was not used to life in the palace, so she begged the Queen Mother and said she wanted to take her younger brother to live with Zhao Shi.
Perhaps because this incident had such a heavy impact on Wen Yi, he had a faint tendency to become autistic.
Since entering the palace, this child has never said a word and even has very few expressions.
How could a noble lady from the royal family live in the house of a foreign official? Naturally, the Queen Mother was unwilling to agree to such an unethical request.
It was just as if he was resolute and cried miserably.
In the end, the Queen Mother summoned Li into the palace to talk to her about the matter.
The eldest daughter born to Mrs. Li is crazy and has lost all her dignity for half her life.
The second girl is dogmatic. She has very few personal emotions on weekdays. If she can't say more than two sentences, she will inevitably end up in silence.
Therefore, I really like this little girl who looks soft and frail at first glance.
Coupled with the fact that the Queen Mother personally "arranged the agreement", Dangjie happily agreed.
Seeing Mrs. Li's careless look, ready to lead the people away immediately, the Queen Mother let out a long sigh and sent Mrs. Li and her brother Wanru away.
She really suspected that Li's talents back then were all bought with money.
As soon as Li left the palace, she saw Zhao Shi who came to pick her up. She immediately got on the carriage happily, but ignored the strands of friendship that surrounded Zhao Shi and Wanru.
Mrs. Li really liked Wanru. Not only did she build a new house for Wanru and Wenyi, but she also made her two daughters sisters with Wanru.
Even Zhao Ziming and Zhao Ziru were enamored of Wanru, thinking of new tricks every day to make Wanru happy.
Li originally thought that if Zhao Ziming and Wanru really got married, it would be a good thing for the Zhao family.
Unexpectedly, it was natural to marry this person, but who to marry became a big problem.
And a green prairie will soon grow on her head!
Zhao Shi really cared about Wanru and tried every means to make Wanru happy.
Li and Zhao Ziming were deeply moved that Zhao Shi was willing to spend time paving the way for their eldest son's marriage.
The fire in the old house was really out of control. Under the cover of Wen Yi, the relationship between Zhao Shi and Wanru continued to heat up.
He even started to neglect Ms. Li, and after Ms. Li went to bed, he would go out to have a private meeting with Wan Rui.
Like dry sticks and a raging fire, it is out of control.
Because Zhao Shi had more and more frequent conversations with him like "looking at the stars and the moon".
