The prince's casual words led to Empress Lu giving her sister a good idea. Mrs. Xu has not been very proud of it in recent years. She offended Ci'en Palace because of her daughter's marriage, and she has never given a good look to Empress Dowager An Lan since she entered the palace.
With great difficulty, Li Daitao forced Li Yuhua to the third prince, which made people vomit blood. The third prince had no idea what kind of luck he had. He married Li Yuhua, left the palace and opened a palace, and actually made a lot of achievements in the Ministry of Justice. Even though he had an ordinary relationship with His Majesty,
, Moreover, his temperament is also moody, but he must be able to speak competently when dealing with the Ministry of Punishment.
Li Yuhua, a village girl, was even more capable. I heard that she coaxed Empress Dowager Lan into confusion and forced her to pass over Empress Dowager Lan's niece and granddaughter, the second princess, who was not as favored as her in Ci'en Palace.
Even His Highness, the third highness, has such an aloof temperament that this village girl is submissive to him.
Li Yuhua was so proud, one can imagine Mrs. Xu's mood.
However, now that Empress Lu has given her advice, Mrs. Xu thought, yes, no matter whether this village girl wants a New Year gift or not, I will prepare it for her. She likes to be cold-faced, so I am her stepmother, and she will give it to her like this.
It's very disrespectful, and it's her fault after a long time.
Mrs. Xu first discussed with Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu was also willing to go with Li Yuhua. One thing was that she was her biological granddaughter. Of course, this was untrue. Li Yuhua had been in her hometown for fifteen or sixteen years, and Mrs. Xu had never thought of her.
His grandson. The main reason is that the third prince has become successful, and Li Yuhua is also capable. One of them is in the court and the other is in the harem, and they can talk to each other. How can Old Mrs. Xu not want to have more contact with such a good granddaughter?
The key is that Li Yuhua doesn't associate with them.
Mrs. Xu advised her mother-in-law, "As the old saying goes, people's hearts are revealed over time. What happened in the past was that the slaves were abominable and the third prince and concubine were wronged. But we are relatives after all. The third prince and concubine are cold, so we can't be cold.
, I thought, as time goes by, the queen will always be able to see our hearts."
Old Mrs. Xu was not thin-skinned. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it, she told Xu Zhen. Xu Zhen said, "Why bother? Just do whatever you want."
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said, "Not to mention that I really want my mother-in-law, but I also think about it for me. I am my stepmother. When people say that the third prince and concubine do not have contact with her mother's family, they will criticize me."
Xu Zhen couldn't stand the woman crying and wiped away her tears, so he said, "Then you go and make arrangements. I won't go."
"If you don't bother me, I'll go there in person. Whether the queen sees me or not, it's all in my heart."
Xu Zhen looked at his wife wiping her tears and said, "I advise you not to go. Yuhua is not a soft-hearted person. Besides, do you think that by saying a few nice words and apologizing for the past, the past things will be revealed? Then you can
You underestimate her too much. She has been doing small business to earn a living since she was a child, and she has more means than you."
"I can't do it twice, I can't do it twice, and I can't do it three times. Until I die, I will always ask her to see my whole heart clearly." Mrs. Xu was obviously prepared for a long-term battle.
Xu Zhen shook his head, "You will know how powerful she is if you try it."
Mrs. Xu made up her mind to bring a generous gift to the Third Prince's Mansion. Because the Chinese New Year was about to take place and there were many things going on in the mansion, she caught up with Li Yuhua and did not enter the palace. Mrs. Xu was also the wife of a third-rank minister, and the people below did not dare not to repay it. Li Yuhua asked Yunque, "
Just Xu Lu coming over, no one else around?"
Yunque was very important to Li Yuhua, but because Li Yuhua didn't get along with her natal family, Yunque was extra cautious in answering, "She is the only one."
"Although your whole family has come out with me, you are more familiar with the affairs of the Xu family. Go and tell Mrs. Xu that I don't care what her plans are. She can go back as she pleases. If I don't interact with you, I'm going to give it to Xu Lu."
To save face for my family, I also want to save face for her. If you want to use me to gain face for yourself, let’s talk about what happened before. Anyway, I’m not afraid of embarrassment. Ask her if she’s afraid?” Li Yuhua’s eyes were sharp.
After sweeping it, Yunque hurriedly went to do it.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect that Princess Li Yuhua would still have such a disgusting temperament after being a junior for three years. She was so angry that she slapped herself twice in the car. She thought that she was really obsessed with bringing this village girl to the imperial capital. Not only did she feel better,
But I have to be threatened by this village girl.
Mrs. Xu failed to deliver the gift, so she went to the palace to complain to her queen sister.
Empress Lu didn't give it in vain. Although she had been oppressed by Empress Dowager Lan in the harem these years, she still took the throne of empress, and now it is her son who lives in the East Palace.
Empress Lu privately talked to Emperor Mu Xuan, "I don't dare to ask about the third prince's concubine, but this family is not an outsider after all. I have occasionally heard someone talk about the third prince's concubine not recognizing her natal family.
There are many misunderstandings. I heard it and will help distinguish one from the other. But it is not the normal way to continue like this. After all, the third prince's concubine is our royal daughter-in-law, so I thought of letting the second sister go and walk around first, even though she is the third prince's concubine.
His face was not good for a while, and he told the second sister not to worry about it. After all, the child had suffered a lot when he was young. Who knew that when the second sister left, she was very affected by the words of the third prince's concubine." He learned Li Yuhua's words and taught them to Emperor Mu Xuan.
Even if Empress Lu made this up, Emperor Mu Xuan wouldn't believe it. After all, this arrogant and ruthless style was the style of the third prince's concubine.
Emperor Mu Xuan sighed, "Isn't she a shrew?"
"Your Majesty, don't say that. Children's homes are bound to have some tempers." Empress Lu said, "The third daughter-in-law is really considerate when she gets better. The clothes my father made for my mother are made of materials I have never seen before. They say they are Pei Zhuangyuan."
My daughter-in-law, Mr. Bai, picked the wool here all winter, and used a new loom to twist the wool into silk to make threads. It is very soft and warm. Now my mother is wearing big sweaters, and even wearing small sweaters feels hot.
It can be seen that he is also a filial child."
"Their husband and wife have the appearance of a married couple, and they look like good people." Emperor Mu Xuan knew everything about the Xu family. Li Yuhua could see Mu Anzhi in eye-to-eye, and judging from the past two years, he was by no means gentle and petty.
Type. Emperor Mu Xuan didn't care about the material of his clothes. He only cared about one thing, "Is the third daughter-in-law still doing the same thing?"
Empress Lu was secretly happy, and she persuaded her husband, "Children are God's will, there is no rush. I think their young couple is very loving, and it will happen sooner or later." As she said this, she hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Mu Xuan asked.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to do what I say." Empress Lu said honestly, "The Crown Princess is my niece from my mother's family, and there are palace attendants around the Crown Prince. The Second Princess and the Princess are nieces and nephews from my mother's mother's family, and the Second Prince also has one or two.
Concubine. The third prince has never been close to me, so I don’t want to interfere with his affairs. I usually look at the emperor’s grandsons and granddaughters, and the third prince’s concubine also likes her. I heard that she often goes to the temple to pay homage to Guanyin."
Because Mu Anzhi had been so effective in his duties in recent years, Emperor Mu Xuan found him somewhat pleasing to the eye, so he wanted to take care of his son. Emperor Mu Xuan also had a habit of being afraid of Mu Anzhi, so he first discussed with Empress Dowager Lan, "The prince and the second son have children."
, it’s been three years since the third child got married, and the mother thinks that if there is a suitable lady, there is no harm in adding a concubine to both the East Palace and the third child.”
This was in line with Empress Dowager Lan's wishes. Empress Dowager Lan said, "That's fine. Although there are a few concubines in the East Palace, I think they are of very ordinary origins, and they are not pregnant. Erlang is not in a hurry. He didn't feel safe at first."
, she should cultivate her moral character first. It would be better for An Zhi to find someone of similar age and good looks for her."
Mother and son are of the same mind.
Because there were many things to do in the next year, Queen Mother Lan had no time. She only started to take care of things after the Lantern Festival. It was difficult for the prince to add a side room to the queen. Queen Lu was very happy, "The queen's vision can never be wrong, as long as
Your Majesty, Queen Mother, looks good to you, so it must be good."
Although Empress Dowager Lan holds the power of the harem, she usually gives Empress Lu face. She said with a smile, "It is better that you and the Ai family look at each other together. The concubine should also have the background of the concubine and have a gentler and gentler temperament."
"Yes." Empress Lu smiled and told the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess was inevitably a little jealous. However, she had given birth to her eldest son, and she was in love with the Crown Prince. Her natal family was prominent. Even if she had another side room, the Crown Princess did not believe she could get one.
Because of his own strength, the Crown Princess also had no objection.
Li Yuhua has a strong opinion on this matter.
She had been married to her third brother for less than three years, and the marriage had only been consummated for more than a year. She was just not pregnant for the time being, so it was not like she was just a wife for the third brother.
Li Yuhua was not very happy and said nothing in front of Queen Mother Lan. He went home and muttered to Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi said, "Don't worry about this. I'll tell the imperial grandmother."
"Speak carefully and don't show that I'm jealous." Li Yuhua paid great attention to maintaining his relationship with Queen Mother Lan.
Mu Anzhi was amused and asked her, "Aren't you jealous?"
"Of course I'm not jealous. Why should I be jealous? We all agreed not to accept minors, but we can't break our promises." Li Yuhua also took Pei Ruyu and Bai Muxiang as an example, "Look, Pei Zhuangyuan doesn't accept minors either. Serious people don't accept minors."
It's two people living with one heart."
Mu Anzhi knew that she was anxious, but he just wanted to save face and not say anything. His heart softened and he put his arm around her shoulders, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Mu Anzhi directly told Empress Dowager Lan, "I am determined not to be underprivileged. Grandma, please stop being busy, I will not marry a concubine."
Queen Mother Lan advised him, "This is not for the sake of fostering children, this is not for the sake of heirs."
"Whether I have children or not, I won't marry a young wife. I will get angry when I see my young wife." Mu Anzhi said with disgust, "Especially the kind of trouble that is manipulated by monsters."
Mu Anzhi said that he would not do anything, but even gods could not persuade him. Empress Dowager Lan asked Li Yuhua to persuade him. Thinking about Li Yuhua's words, Mu Anzhi would listen. The next day, Li Yuhua entered the palace, shaking his fists and followed
Queen Mother Lan complained, "He's as stubborn as a cow. I just want to give him a few blows."
Queen Mother Lan still felt sorry for her grandson and hurriedly advised Li Yuhua, "That won't work. The wife is the earth and the husband is the sky. As women, we must obey the men and are not allowed to rebel."
Li Yuhua teased, "It turns out that he is my grandson. You are really not partial."
Queen Mother Lan smiled, "I love you just as much." She wondered in her heart whether Li Yuhua was jealous and didn't persuade her seriously. Li Yuhua seemed to see through Queen Mother Lan's heart and gave her advice, "Otherwise, you can choose someone first, and then you can
If I fall in love with you, I'll hold a tea party in the palace and invite my third brother to enjoy the flowers and drink tea with me. If he likes me, I guarantee that I won't have a problem with it."
Queen Mother Lan smiled extra sincerely this time, patted Li Yuhua's hand and said, "I saw you right." She also gave Li Yuhua a box of newly acquired rubies to play with, and also rewarded two sets of headdresses and six new pieces of satin.
Praise her for being broad-minded and a virtuous daughter-in-law.
Since they were choosing side wives, their family background was secondary. As long as they were from an official family and had a clean family background, temperament was what mattered. Empress Dowager Lan asked Empress Lu to choose together. The two of them selected a dozen ladies in the imperial capital, all of whom had family backgrounds, temperaments, and temperaments.
A girl with good sex. Of course, her background is slightly worse than that of her first wife.
Empress Lu discussed the matter with the prince, and the prince said, "As long as the queen sees fit, it will be done." There is no shortage of women around her. The prince does not care about lust, so he doesn't care about this aspect.
Queen Lu said, "You are sensible, but you don't know what the Third Highness is like."
"It's just a side chamber. The Criminal Department is busy with the Wei family's case, so the third child probably won't be worried about it." Although the third princess is a genius, she has a capable character. The youngest and she have always been good friends, even if she chooses this side chamber.
, it depends on whether it can catch the eyes of the third child.
Empress Lu asked one more question, "The Wei family's case has not been fully investigated yet?"
"The Wei family has been in charge of the Xuanjia Guard for more than 20 years. I don't know how many old cases A Nian has. How could they be cleared up so quickly?" the prince said casually.
Empress Dowager Lan and Empress Lu selected ten ladies. Taking advantage of the good spring weather and the early blooming of peonies in the greenhouse, Empress Dowager Lan organized a peony party.
The Crown Princess, the Second Prince and the Third Prince were all there. Empress Lu also arrived early. Empress Dowager Lan announced the crown prince, and the Third Prince came to enjoy the peonies together. The ladies painted peonies, and Empress Dowager Lan asked her two grandsons to help evaluate them to see which one was the best.
The best are rewarded.
Every time she saw a picture of peonies, Queen Mother Lan would introduce a girl who painted peonies to her two grandsons.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, not from a top wealthy family, even if her family hired her husband to teach calligraphy and painting, even if she was extremely talented, what kind of writing skills could she have?
However, she is also a very good girl who can get in front of Empress Dowager Lan and Empress Lu.
The prince has always been gentle and considerate, and he can find advantages in every painting. Mu Anzhi has a stinking face and refuses to speak. When Empress Dowager Lan asks him, he will frown and pick out words such as "It's so ugly" and "My
Oh my god, are these peonies? I didn’t know but thought they were dark clouds gathered together.” and “After seeing the paintings they painted, I really feel that peonies with two copper plates each are sold cheaply on the street.”
In short, Mu Anzhi directly said that he cried several times, but he didn't cry. Judging from the way the girl was holding back her anger, she was not willing to be his side wife.
There are also those who are short-tempered and say directly, "Looking at what His Highness said, I wonder how your Highness's painting skills are?"
"No matter what, I'm just three mountains better than you."
The girl was dissatisfied and said, "Why don't you, Your Highness, paint a picture to convince us?"
"Originally I didn't need to give you this face, but seeing how ignorant you are, letting you yellow-haired girls know that there are mountains beyond the mountains can be considered a good deed on my part."
Mu Anzhi is not just a bitch, he casually drew a splash of peonies. Well, he is indeed much better than these ladies. There are two mountains instead of three mountains.
Then, he took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands, and said arrogantly to Queen Mother Lan, "Royal Grandma, don't come to me to see these rags in the future. Each one of them has no talent or appearance. It's hard to see me."
My eyes feel uncomfortable."
Queen Mother Lan was so angry that she complained to Emperor Mu Xuan, "If he hadn't been born in our royal family, he wouldn't be able to marry a wife. Whose daughter would be willing to live like this with Ashen? What she said can make people mad to death.
The little girls said they cried."
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "That's not the case. I think the third child and his wife are very good. The young couple come to the palace by car together every morning. When they are free in the evening, the third child comes to pick up his wife. Their brother, he
I love my wife the most."
Queen Mother Lan sighed, "He has eyes with Yuhua, but he doesn't look the same as the girl next to him."
Emperor Mu Xuan also felt strange and wondered how Li Yuhua subdued Mu Anzhi. Emperor Mu Xuan asked, "Is the third daughter-in-law unhappy?"
"It was Yuhua who came up with the idea for this flower party. If I'm happy with it, any real wife would really be happy with multiple side rooms in the house. But if Yuhua came up with this idea, at least she's not a petty person." Li Yuhua has such a big face.
The Queen Mother Lan is already satisfied.
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "That being the case, it doesn't hurt to put it down for the time being."
East Palace.
The eldest son was still young, so he let his nanny hold him and go to sleep after dinner. Aunt Liu was worried and followed him. The prince said, "When I was a child, it was Nanny Liu who took care of me. Now we, Ayu, are still like this.
."
The princess smiled, "I ask Grandma Gu several times every day whether Ayu is eating well, how many nights she sleeps, and how many times she urinates during the night."
"At Ma Liu's age, it's better to let her enjoy a happy life and don't let her worry about her all the time." The prince said, "The person who will serve Ayu was also selected by her along with you, so there is nothing to worry about."
"I advised her in the same way. She always said that she would get sick if she was idle. Besides, Grandma Liu is not very old either." The Crown Princess looked at her husband and said, "There is something the Queen Mother asked me to ask you."
"What's up?"
"The matter of the concubine. I heard from the Empress that the Third Highness can't decide for a while. She wants to show you another concubine." After all, the ten girls who were demoted to be worthless by the Third Highness, if it starts from then
Choosing from among ten girls, it seemed that the third prince, whom His Highness looked down upon, took him in from the East Palace.
The prince said, "Don't choose now, let's make a big show of it. We already have two concubines. Last winter, there were constant snowstorms in Henan and Hebei. During the New Year, there have already been two heavy snowstorms. I don't know how many crops have been frozen to death. There will be disasters this spring."
Yes, put the ones in the side room in advance."
The Crown Princess was naturally happy and immediately said, "Then I'll tell my mother. If there's anything suitable, I'll just keep an eye out for it and talk about it later."
Prince's jaw.
Li Yuhua admired Mu An very much, especially the splash-ink peony painted by Mu An. Li Yuhua took it to the most famous framing shop in the imperial capital and framed it, and praised the third brother for his knowledge.
For this reason, Li Yuhua specially prepared a gift and sent the plum dian book to the master who taught the third brother painting skills in the art academy.
Li Yuhua told Empress Dowager Lan, "I used to think that Third Brother is a good person and naturally has good knowledge. Now it seems that he is even better than I thought."
"This is natural." Empress Dowager Lan had nothing to do with Mu Anzhi's temper, but she was still very proud of her grandson's knowledge. She told Li Yuhua, "That means our royal family does not need to take the imperial examination. Otherwise, with Ashen's knowledge, it would not be difficult to become a Jinshi.
"
Li Yuhua's eyes widened in shock, and he clapped his hands and praised, "The third brother Wei Dao and Pei Zhuangyuan have such a good relationship, it must be because they are both smart people."
These words made Queen Mother Lan laugh, and Queen Mother Lan said happily, "Actually, the prince always has two reading companions. Ashen also ordered two for him when he was a child, one was Ruyu and the other was Prince Lan. As a result, Ashen
I thought Prince Lanhou was stupid at studying, so he finally gave up on him."
Li Yuhua clicked his tongue twice, "The third brother was really annoying when he was a kid. He must have been the kind of kid who relied on his own brains to memorize books and then thought others were stupid. This kind of kid is the most annoying."
Queen Mother Lan smiled, "Isn't that right? Prince Lan is not stupid either, it's just that he and Ruyu learned too quickly. You haven't seen them memorizing books when they were young. I watched them, and after reading them two or three times, I can recite them all."
, so smart." Then, Queen Mother Lan did not feel that her grandson was annoying at all, and said proudly, "Children are like this, those who learn quickly will not look down on those who learn quickly."
Li Yuhua is the kind of person who reads slowly. She can understand everything around her, but reading is her only talent. When she was a child, she was even jealous of Sister Muxiang. Those books, she could learn something at a glance, which was the most annoying.
However, Li Yuhua took the opportunity to speak ill of the daughter of the Lanhou family, the current Mrs. Lu Shizi, "I think the people in the Lanhou family may not be very smart, and Mrs. Lu Shizi doesn't seem to be very smart either."
Queen Mother Lan scolded her lightly, "Don't say that. That kid Ali is still very polite."
"I can't talk about the letter that Sister Muxiang wrote to me, but Sister Muxiang hates her, and I don't like her either. Grandma Huang, have you noticed that I haven't paid much attention to her." Li Yuhua
A picture of clear grievances and grudges.
Empress Dowager Lan looked at Li Yuhua, "People say that people with a lot of ideas are rich in wealth. I see why you are so happy."
"I was born like this. I like it if I like it, and if I don't like it, I don't like it. Moreover, although I have many bad intentions, they are all kind-hearted."
Empress Dowager Lan made her laugh. Even though they were of the same race, Empress Dowager Lan still didn't like the marriage between Lan Hou's Mansion and Lu Gong's Mansion.
Of course, the Lanhou Mansion also didn’t quite understand how Empress Dowager Lan got so close to the third prince’s concubine. The third prince’s concubine paid for the lawsuit against the wife-murderer in the workshop. Although the third prince’s concubine had a set of fallacies, in the circle of powerful people,
Not many people agreed. However, Empress Dowager Lan still treated the third prince and concubine extremely well. It was almost astonishing.
Even the old lady of Duke Lan's Mansion came into the palace to give Empress Dowager Lan a heads up. Empress Dowager Lan asked lightly, "What are you most afraid of as a human being?"
Mrs. Lan didn't understand what Empress Dowager Lan meant for a moment. Empress Dowager Lan said, "What I'm most afraid of is not having a stand. Never follow the crowd. Those who succumb to the general trend will not achieve great things."
If Mu Anzhi had succumbed to the trend of "losing power", she would not have the status she currently has in the Ministry of Justice. If Li Yuhua had succumbed to the trend of "village girl", even if the Xu family took her to the imperial capital, she would not be the true princess she is today.
.
Queen Mother Lan likes Li Yuhua's fierce energy. That woman is a female worker in Li Yuhua's workshop. What is more important, an outsider she doesn't know, or the female worker in her own workshop? Is the gossip in the market more important, or the hearts of the people in the workshop?
Wind evaluation is of course very important, but the bigger the tree, the deeper its roots will penetrate into the soil. When the wind comes, the branches will sway with the wind, but the trunk will not move.
People who want to achieve great things must have Li Yuhua's indomitable and fearless drive.
