As the emperor's son, the fourth prince has been in a struggle from the moment he was born. When the prince was around, he fought with the prince. The prince fell, and the eldest prince rose again.
There are actually quite a lot of forces behind the eldest prince. The Zhou family of Yue’s family and the Zhuang family of Duke Wen’s family are all powerful families that cannot be underestimated.
The Zhou family and the Zhuang family have been operating in the capital for several generations and have already formed a relatively strong interpersonal network. In addition, they have experienced changes in the throne and are very cautious and low-key in their dealings. The fourth prince wants to use these two families to deal with the eldest prince.
For a while, I really couldn’t find any breakthrough.
But Shi Fuxin, the eldest prince’s master, is different.
Shennongtang has only been open for about ten years, but it has gained so much reputation in the border area, which has already made many people jealous.
In addition, Shi Fuxin is competitive, high-profile, and her reputation is not that good outside, so there are many loopholes that can be exploited.
Previously, the fourth prince was concerned about Chu Yao's status as the commander of the Supervision Department and did not want to confront the couple head-on. But after hearing what Dongfang Changqing said about the key role Chu Yao and his wife played in the prince's downfall, he became more wary of them.
Vertex.
The prince has been the crown prince for many years, and with the support of the Wei family and officials, his position is actually very stable. He has been fighting with the prince for many years, and has almost never gained any advantage.
In this way, he was easily defeated by Chu Yao and his wife, which made him not frightened and fearful.
If the fourth prince felt that there was no need to fight to the death with the eldest prince immediately, he only needed to slowly disintegrate and weaken those who followed him, but at this moment, I desperately want to get rid of Shi Fuxin.
The maid smiled and said: "No matter how favored Chu Yao is, he is still a concubine. Why don't you go to the prince's concubine?"
Li Fuzhi also knew that in order to gain a foothold in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, she had to have no children, so she could only accept the medicine bowl helplessly and take a sip as if she was dead.
Whether the Li family is powerful or not, Li Fuzhi is not favored by the seventh prince. Now you still live in the same courtyard with two other concubines.
But the sudden appearance of Shizheng and his family made such days gone forever!
Li Fuzhi ate a candied fruit, but she still couldn't get rid of the bitter taste in her mouth. When she heard the maid talking about children, her heart ached when she thought of the child she aborted last year.
Hearing this, the seventh prince's concubine looked so bad: "Will you call Chu Yao over now?"
Seeing Li Fuzhi looking at him in surprise, the Seventh Prince stroked the broken hair on your temples and said with a smile: "His body is what I care about most. Before he gets sick, he must give birth to a grandson for me as soon as possible."
Ah."
"Auntie, take the medicine!"
Faced with Old Man Li and Old Lady Li who are always holding back, you are always willing to call us grandpa and grandma.
It would be so bad if Shi Zhenghe and his family had never appeared. You were still a girl from the Wuchang Bofu family, and you would marry into a bad family and become the first wife, but you would be living your life huddled outside a big yard like you are now.
Day.
The maid saw it and said quickly: "Auntie, he has been embroidering for a long time. Let's take a rest. If the remaining servants come to embroider, I guarantee that they will miss the delivery date."
The smile on the face of the Seventh Princess became less reluctant: "Liang Ning has been very sick since before her birth last year. Why does the Highness suddenly think of you?"
Li Fuzhi blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head and said "hmm".
In order to divert her unexpected joy, Li Fuzhi picked up the embroidery studio again.
The Seventh Prince walked up to Li Fuzhi and naturally took your hand: "He will be too busy in the latter part of the day, and he will be tired of it. I will visit him often these days."
Husband and wife are one, and the seventh prince is still willing to tell you some things about the seventh prince's concubine: "Shi Shi is the master of the young and the young. If you want to know less about Chu Yao, our family is related to Shi's family.
Is it profound?"
Li Fuzhi recalled the time when she lived in the Wuchang Bofu. At this time, you had worries and worries. All you had to do was dress yourself up and play with your sisters in a depressed mood. Everything was just worry.
The relationship between the Li family and the Shi family was clear and righteous, which was enough for the Seventh Prince to take advantage of.
"Whatever your Majesty wants to know, I must ask my grandparents before I go back."
The seventh prince shook his head and then stood up: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Please go sit outside your house."
Even though the Li family is having a lot of trouble day by day, and the more they live, the more embarrassed they become, you also like the old man Li and his family from the bottom of your heart.
The seventh prince expressed concern for Li Fuzhi for a few more words, and then cut to the chase: "He hasn't been back to his parents' home for a long time. He should go back to his parents' home for a visit before the imperial doctor sees him."
In your heart, you hate Shi Zhenghe's family very much. Because of that family, your life has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the west wing of the courtyard, Li Fuzhi was immersed in embroidering flowers. When she saw the maid returning with a medicine bowl, she had a look of resistance on her face.
After hearing this, the Seventh Prince said directly to the personal eunuch standing at the door: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and find an imperial physician to show Aunt Li a look at your post."
When the maid saw her, she hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, your aunt has been drinking medicine for a year, but she has been getting better. My husband always said that she should be treated badly, but the more she takes care of her, the more energetic she becomes.
."
You used to be a well-nurtured young lady, but now you are reduced to a situation where you have to sell embroidery to barely make ends meet.
Watching the seventh prince leave, the seventh prince's concubine's eyes did not flicker: "I'm afraid that Chu Yao will return to his favor!"
You know, before the prince died, it was not the seventh prince and the younger prince who were fighting in the court. As the younger prince's master, Shi was naturally the target of the seventh prince's attack.
......
The Seventh Prince added: "Do you belong to this family with rules and regulations, or do you like this family more? It's really unlucky to see this family jumping around behind your eyes. If only we were here...
Broken."
The Seventh Prince looked at Li Fuzhi with a wicked smile and joked: "His tone seems to be welcoming me."
The seventh prince is afraid of confronting the little prince head-on, chips against chips, but I am afraid of variables. Shennongtang and Hongyanxiao rise too slowly, and Shi Fuxin is not a variable.
Li Fuzhi came back to her senses, looked up towards the door of the room, and saw the seventh prince walking back with a smile. She was extremely surprised and said: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Seeing that the Seventh Prince actually invited the imperial physician to treat you, Li Fuzhi was flattered.
Li Fuzhi quickly shook her head: "Don't get me wrong, sir? I was expecting him to come in time. I was so surprised just now."
The Seventh Prince returned to the Prince's Mansion with a lot of worries. Because he had something hidden in his heart, he had a bad look on the concubines who came to frustrate me.
Li Fuzhi smiled bitterly.
Li Fuzhi's heart tightened. At this moment, you don't seem to understand why the seventh prince suddenly came outside your room.
Hearing those words, Li Fuzhi felt even more congested.
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Fuzhi's face: "Business matters are important. If your Majesty can think about me, I will be satisfied."
Seeing that the seventh prince dismissed the concubine directly, the seventh prince's concubine was not secretly happy. However, after waiting for you to be unhappy for a long time, the seventh prince asked: "I haven't seen Chu Yao for a long time, how are you?"
”
Li Fuzhi understood what the seventh prince meant. She asked you to go back to your parents' home that time, probably so that you could find out information about Li Shizhenghe's family.
Just when Li Fuzhi was thinking about that and her brows were furrowing, the maid suddenly exclaimed: "Auntie, here comes the lady."
The Seventh Prince: "Let me ask you all." He said, looking at Li Fuzhi with a smile, "Shi Zhenghe and his family are getting more and more prosperous now, how come their family is getting better and better?"
The maid hurriedly handed over the candied fruit and said with a smile: "When my aunt is in bad health, she will not be able to give birth to an heir for you."
While stroking Li Fuzhi's hand, the seventh prince continued: "This prince wants to know about the situation of Shi Zhenghe's family. Before going back, don't ask his grandparents."
Li Fuzhi was surprised that the seventh prince suddenly mentioned her natal family, but she nodded obediently, pretending to listen to the seventh prince.
The medicine is too bitter, and you have been drinking it for a year, and your body has taken a turn for the worse.
The Seventh Prince has many concubines. Except for those who can bring direct benefits to the Seventh Prince or who are generally favored, a small number of concubines do not have their own courtyard.
The dowry maid knew what you were thinking as soon as she saw Li Fuzhi's face, and immediately advised: "Auntie, only if your body is not damaged can you conceive an heir for your Majesty. Although the medicine is a bit bitter, I have prepared candied fruit."<
/p>
The seventh prince pulled Li Fuzhi to sit down, and the maid took the medicine bowl away. When she saw the medicine bowl under the table, she asked, "Why, is his body still recovering?"
