Chapter 20 Li's Thoughts

If he wanted to tell himself something, then he would naturally tell her.

Ms. Li would not bother asking her husband why he was feeling so uncomfortable, and whether it was okay?

Except for her abnormal behavior during the period when her children were missing, she has always performed well.

Although she has many shortcomings, for example, she loves money and wants to use her children to get out the old man's private property.

She was stricter towards the children of concubines and had a lot of pettiness, but she always held on to her husband's heart.

No matter how much Tao Er dotes on his concubines, they will never be able to get over her. The main reason is that Li has a good mind.

She knows how big the cards are in her hand. Whenever she wants to do something, she has to make a careful calculation and look at the pros and cons before deciding whether to act.

Mrs. Li once gave birth to three children: two boys and one girl. In fact, the eldest grandson was her son. Unfortunately, he died before he reached adulthood. Now he is survived by a son and a girl.

The most important people in her heart are her daughter Baozhu and Balang Baozi, especially her son Balang, who will be her future support and the person she cares about the most. She is glad that she has a biological child. The relationship between mother and son

There are fewer diaphragms.

Ms. Li was very sober after she got married, and was not very interested in so-called love. From the moment she signed the marriage contract, she was taught not to have too many expectations for marriage.

If you don't ask for much, you won't be disappointed too much. The education that Li has received has made her understand that their marriage is due to the marriage between two families.

When marrying, we will not consider whether the two parties may have romantic feelings at all, but the strong alliance or complementarity of the two families.

The Li family had a very glorious time, so naturally they knew a lot of things, so they worked very hard in raising girls.

In addition to the general things that women learn, the Li family also specializes in educating the women of the Li family to learn more things, such as history.

Ms. Li was a good student who studied very seriously, so she continued to study with enthusiasm, but there was a period of history that made her think a lot.

I remember that a certain emperor had an extremely favored concubine named Xiao, who was so favored by the emperor that she could compete with the empress.

Concubine Xiao Shu, who relied on herself to give birth to the emperor's children, often suppressed the childless queen.

Queen Wang naturally didn't want to sit still and wait for death, so she wanted to find a helper to help her deal with Concubine Xiao.

In the early years of the emperor, a beloved one had to become a nun, so Queen Wang found her in the nunnery.

With the help of Queen Wang, Wu got the opportunity to leave the nunnery and enter the palace again.

Concubine Xiao didn't care at first, and she didn't know that she would be disliked by the emperor.

After Wu entered the palace, she initially fulfilled the Queen's wishes.

He soon took away a lot of the emperor's favor.

Became the most favored by the emperor in the harem and became Zhaoyi.

Until one day she even pulled down the Queen and Concubine Xiao.

The biggest winner in this palace battle was Wu, and she even became the queen of a country.

The previous Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao were eventually killed together by the Wu family, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

Mr. Li was very immersed in reading this period of history. He must know that the final victor, Mr. Wu, belonged to a different species.

The reason why Mrs. Wu is in the nunnery is because she is one of the lower-ranking concubines around the late emperor. She entered the nunnery after the late emperor passed away.

Had it not been for the failed Queen Wang, who was eager to defeat her love rival Xiao Shufei and wanted to find a helper, so she specially took back Wu from the nunnery.

I was afraid that Wu would not be able to enter the palace. Seeing this, Li knew that Wu was the emperor's favorite at that time, so she naturally took away Concubine Xiao Shu's favor.

It can be seen from this that when looking for a pet for your husband, you must pay attention to it. Never take a man's favorite pet to your home, otherwise it will cause trouble for yourself.

One bad thing is to lead a wolf into the house. Never do stupid things like Queen Wang. Mrs. Li paid attention to this point again and again to prevent herself from accidentally being taken down.

The person who most attracted Li's attention during this period of history was Wu. You must know that Wu still had many problems after becoming the emperor's concubine. She was a remarried woman and was older than the emperor. It is said that these are all Wu's.

weakness.

But Wu knew that this was her only chance, and she had to seize it. Before, she had left a deep impression on the emperor, and it was possible for her to leave the nunnery and enter the palace. When she

After giving birth to several children, her position in the harem has finally been stabilized.

If you want to be able to fly, you must grasp the most important thing. In the beginning, it is your husband's love, but a man's love is too shallow. Even if it is unforgettable love, it will often be lost in real life.

What happened to Concubine Xiao Shu is a very real example. When Concubine Xiao was favored back then, she always wanted to get wind and rain, and she would always give up when she encountered a queen.

However, Concubine Xiao was still gradually wiped away by the new Wu family, and she became a neglected concubine. It did not take long.

After Wu became favored, she naturally wanted to get rid of her two enemies: Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao. If they were not eliminated, the emperor might have some sympathy again.

Only the dead will not repeat things again. Wu thought of a way to get rid of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao in one fell swoop, and the princess born to Concubine Xiao was thrown into Yeting Palace.

Mrs. Li was very alert when she saw this. The two princesses were living with the palace maids and the prisoners' families, and their biological father didn't care at all.

This emperor was really ruthless towards his children, of course, this was because Wu was a very capable person.

It was with Wu's help that the emperor finally gradually regained power from the powerful ministers and got rid of the control of the courtiers.

This is also the reason why the Wu family punished Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao. Even though the emperor knew about it, he did not help.

The Wu family could give the emperor far more in terms of benefits than Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao.

During this honeymoon period, there was a consistent interest relationship between Wu and the emperor.

In the end, Wu cleared all obstacles to her ascending to the throne of queen.

The story did not end after Wu ascended the throne of queen.

She did not live a happy life with the emperor without shame.

Although the emperor loved the Wu family very much, it did not mean that he was apathetic.

It is absolutely impossible that there is only one queen in the harem, and they will be a couple for the rest of their lives.

This possibility is basically a Mary Sue plot, which is generally impossible to realize in real life.

Even though the emperor felt that Wu was his sweetheart, he did not hesitate to fight against ethics for her and even made her the queen of a country.

But all this did not stop him from becoming a romantic emperor. He still embraced everyone, and all the women in the harem belonged to him.

Even when Wu was pregnant, he asked his widowed sister to come to the palace to help him. As a result, the emperor and Empress Wu's sister got hooked up.

He obviously asked his sister to help him prevent the emperor from stealing sex when he came in, but in the end, his sister took the opportunity to hook up with the emperor and was named the lady of the country.

As an outsider, it is impossible to know how Wu felt after finding out, but Wu should have felt that her position might be in jeopardy at any time. After all, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao had learned from the past.

Wu probably didn't know that it was precisely because she was very skillful in getting rid of her rivals, the former empress and Xiao Chongfei, that the emperor felt he didn't like her very much. She was different from the woman he imagined.

The emperor regretted not paying any attention to the former empress and concubine who had fallen out of favor. The former empress and concubine Xiao were both his wives and concubines, but Empress Wu actually made them into human pigs.

This kind of strength surprised him. In the process, he discovered that Wu was very clever, had strength that ordinary women did not have, and was very politically savvy.

Wu's political acumen was very sensitive, and she had been helping the emperor handle state affairs for many years. Because the emperor had a headache, he often relied on Wu.

This allowed Wu's power to extend from the harem to the former dynasty, and relied on this to stand firm, otherwise she might be the next deposed queen.

Wu's strength made the emperor gradually no longer like Wu, but he could not do without Wu's help. He liked Empress Wu's sister even more.

But after Wu learned about the affair between her sister and the emperor, she had to pretend not to see it, otherwise what would she do?

As time goes by, this incident makes the relationship between their sisters become very delicate.

Eventually there were some conflicts between the sisters until Wu's sister died.

And her death made her daughter an opponent of the Wu family.

He even did not hesitate to become the emperor's lover to take revenge on Wu.

But what can Empress Wu do? She can only live in frustration for the time being.

In the end, the winner was Empress Wu, and everyone else who opposed her would have died long ago.

After learning about this history, Mrs. Li was very interested in Mrs. Wu, a very capable woman.

So I deliberately started to study the process of her life. Wu's incident had a great impact on Li.

After studying, Li still had self-awareness and knew that he did not have the brains to become a member of the palace.

Anyone who can get along well in the palace is a good person, and the one who doesn't do well will become a stepping stone for others.

She knew this very well. She had no interest in politics at all. Once the conversation got too deep, she just wanted to doze off. This was absolutely not okay.

In other words, it is impossible to ask her to do the same thing. She often finds out about other people's calculations after a long time, and it is already three autumns too late.

This made her know from the bottom of her heart that she was far behind compared with those smart people, and she might become a gun in the hands of others. She had no interest in becoming the second Wu family.

You must know that this wise man who turned from a queen to an empress had to abdicate in favor of his son when he reached old age. When he finally abdicated, it was also disgraceful. He had to abdicate after being forced into the palace.

Li knew that she did not have the ability to do the same thing, but some of the queen's operations were still very useful to her, such as how to capture her husband's heart, which was very important.

She knew very well that in order to live a better life, she must formulate her own measures. In the rest of her life, she always paid attention to the issue of how to live well.

The Li family is a high-married woman. Her natal Li family was once an aristocratic family but it declined. After these years of ups and downs, the royal family has been suppressing this aristocratic family.

This repeated suppression has caused many high-ranking aristocratic families to fall. The Li family is not the first, nor the last, there will be more to come.

But this affected the social status of Li's daughters. Many of them later married into poor families and were simply inferior to their previous generation.

The Li family is considered one of the lucky ones to be able to marry into the Tao family, a well-known family. After marrying, problems arise in life.

For example, when the dowry issue comes up, the mother-in-law is a little angry, feeling that her daughter-in-law is a down-and-out phoenix, not as good as a chicken.

After the decline of the Li family, there was not much dowry to give, so the mother-in-law would inevitably show off to her daughter-in-law.

What can the daughter-in-law do? She can only endure it and hold her husband's heart tightly at the same time.

When something happens to the Tao family, it will actually be a good thing for Li.

Of course she would not go back to her hometown with her parents-in-law.

This is simply throwing away your own advantages.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are naturally opposites of each other.

How could she go back with her mother-in-law obediently? Don't dream.

If she left her husband with his concubine, wouldn't it be an advantage to others?

I'm afraid that the man who likes the new and hates the old will soon forget her existence, so it won't work.

After thinking about it, she asked her husband to talk about the children, if they also returned to the clan with the adults.

They will soon become country bumpkins. Every aspect of the capital, especially education, is top notch.

After all, I told my husband that if the children returned to their hometown, everything for them would be ruined.

Tao Erlang agreed very much. Since the children were all staying, Li, as the mistress, was naturally left to take care of the children.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about it once, they were far away from the mother-in-law who was always criticizing her. During this time, Li's house fighting skills improved rapidly.

It can be said that she is also proficient in dealing with Tao Erlang, but the disappearance of her children was a big blow to her. Once she knew that her children were alive and well, she became very shrewd. She always likes to wrap up all her thoughts and stand on her side.

She gives advice from the moral high ground and rarely betrays her husband.

That is to say, I was in a panic when my children disappeared. Now that I have returned to normal, I will face my husband in the calmest manner and never ask any questions.

On the way, Mrs. Li finally understood the contradictions in her husband's heart. She knew nothing about politics, but she was relatively clear about patriarchal traditions.

Naturally, I understand that the three people in the first room will be the sluggish ones, and the adults in the first room should shoulder the relevant responsibilities.

Regarding her husband's worries, Mrs. Li was more concerned about how much property the big family left behind.

Although the Tao family suffered a flood this time, it is possible that many things in the Tao family were lost.

But Dafang's sister-in-law has a lot of dowry, fertile land, and shops in the capital.

If she manages it properly, she should be able to make a lot of money out of it.

The future marriages of the children of the eldest family are good opportunities to build relationships.

Based on this calculation, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

After Ms. Li thought about it in her mind, she spoke harmoniously.

She would never say that her husband was out of his mind and only thinking about troublesome things.

How could they just think about how much money their second wife would spend on the eldest brother's nephews and nieces?

In fact, just let the children live together, and she can take the opportunity to lower the treatment of the bastards.

You can't treat the concubine the same as a concubine. This is because outsiders can't find fault with you, but they can still give you a blow.

As for the eldest lady, she must be made a foil for her daughter. The loss of her father and her eldest daughter can defeat her.
