The next day, Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi went to Ci'en Palace early as before. After breakfast, Mu Anzhi returned to Yu'an Palace. Because there were concubines coming to pay their respects, it was not convenient for Mu Anzhi to stay in Ci'en Palace for a long time. Li Yuhua did not leave, so she and Empress Lu
The concubines, as well as the crown prince and the second prince's concubine, were chatting and joking in Ci'en Palace.
When Empress Dowager Lan asked about Princess Jiaxiang's foot injury, Empress Lu said softly, "The imperial doctor said that the bones and muscles were not injured, but the top of the foot was bruised. It will take ten and a half months before she can get out of bed and walk around."
"That's good." Queen Mother Lan ordered Nanny Lin to bring two bottles of tiger bone wine to Princess Jiaxiang.
Empress Lu sighed, "This child is also naughty and loves to joke. Third daughter-in-law, please don't argue with your sister."
"Don't worry, Madam, I'm fine." Li Yuhua said with a bright smile, "In the past, people in my hometown often said that I was naughty and loved to joke. Where did this fate come from? I have the same temperament as Sister Jiaxiang. It's really
We are destined to be sisters-in-law."
Empress Lu was so angry that Li Yuhua's shameless words didn't make her angry. She forced a smile and took the tea to eat.
Empress Lu also had something to discuss with Empress Dowager Lan, "Tomorrow is the day on the 15th day of the lunar month when the imperial edicts will come to the palace to pay their respects. During this time, the natal families of all the princes and concubines will enter the palace. I think the old lady of the Xu family will also remember her third daughter-in-law."
Empress Dowager Lan said, "They are all relatives, and they are not outsiders. Besides, Yuhua has won the hearts of the Ai family. Let them enter the palace and talk to Yuhua."
Li Yuhua knew that Empress Dowager Lan was very angry because of Li Dai's incident in Taojiang, and from then on she did not allow her daughter-in-law to enter the palace. Li Yuhua raised the corner of her lips and said, "Emperor Grandma, please leave this mission to me. I will send someone to tell you tomorrow.
Not only did my grandmother and wife come to the palace, but my two sisters were also invited. Now I am in the palace, loving my husband and wife with my third brother, and I have a loving grandmother like the imperial grandmother, the queen, and all the concubines who also care about me.
, and my two sisters-in-law are just like biological sisters. I live such a good life, I have to tell my mother-in-law’s family to see how happy they are for me.”
Queen Mother Lan said to herself, Silly girl, your life is so good that your stepmother will have her teeth broken. But looking at Li Yuhua's happy face, she knew that this girl has always had many evil ideas, so Queen Mother Lan also laughed, "
OK, just send someone home and tell him."
Li Yuhua smiled, "Our wife and the Empress are still biological sisters. I will host a banquet for my family tomorrow. I know that the Empress will miss her sister. Your Majesty, please don't cut off my friendship and invite people to Fengyi Palace."
let it go."
"Look at what you said, Yuhua. Since we are not outsiders, why don't we hold a banquet at Fengyi Palace and you all come together. My mother has mentioned you several times and likes you very much."
Li Yuhua smiled brighter than the sun outside, "Whenever Mrs. Lu misses me, just go to Yu'an Hall to say hello to me. I will definitely be there."
The eldest princess Fengyang couldn't help but glance at Li Yuhua. Li Yuhua was smiling like a flower. An older concubine said with a smile, "Look at what the third prince said, Mrs. Lu is an elder at her age, and the Queen Mother is also
I can't bear to overwork her old man."
"That's how I am like the imperial grandmother, who naturally respects the elderly and loves the young." Li Yuhua said, "In the past, the roads in our village were not very easy to walk, and I even paid to build them. That road is now called Yuhua Road, isn't it?
I brag, no one says 'no' when talking about me."
The Crown Princess reacted and said softly, "When my grandmother enters the palace tomorrow, she must go and pay her respects to the three younger siblings."
"See, sister-in-law, she takes it seriously. I'm just kidding, no matter whether Mrs. Lu can come to my place or not, how could I really let an old lady like her give me a gift? Even the Imperial Grandmother can't bear to have her work hard, and I can't bear it even more.
"Li Yuhua's smiling face is so angry that it makes people feel sick to their stomachs.
No one knew how Empress Lu and the Crown Princess were feeling, but Princess Fengyang knew that Empress Lu had really attracted a fierce tiger to herself.
At noon, Empress Lu and her concubines stood up to leave. Empress Dowager Lan said to her three grandsons-in-law, "You should go back too. Young couples are often together."
Li Yuhua was as shrewd as a ghost. She sat still and said, "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, please leave me alone. I have something to whisper to the imperial grandmother."
After everyone left, Li Yuhua quietly said to Queen Mother Lan, "I told my third brother this morning to ask him to come over for dinner at noon. He will be here soon, and we won't leave."
"Ouch, what a monkey." Empress Dowager Lan laughed loudly, and Princess Fengyang was also amused and asked Li Yuhua, "Are all the girls in your place such elves?"
"There are no more elves than me, but there are some who are smarter than me."
"If you were in the imperial capital and you asked her to come into the palace to show us, she is smarter than Yuhua, I don't believe you."
"It's true. I'll tell you, my aunt and grandmother, you have all heard of her. She is already married, and she is married to Pei Zhuangyuan."
This statement struck Empress Dowager Lan like a thunderbolt and Princess Fengyang heard it like thunder. Empress Dowager Lan asked in surprise, "Is Ruyu's daughter-in-law also from your village?"
"Sister Muxiang and I are distant cousins. We are neighbors next door. There is only a wall between our two families." Li Yuhua said, "If we count the entire village, it means that Sister Muxiang is smarter than me."
Princess Fengyang couldn't help but sigh, what kind of fate is this! Mu Anzhi and Pei Ruyu are no worse than brothers. Li Yuhua and Pei Ruyu's daughters-in-law are actually from the same village. What kind of village is this? Why is this so?
What a talent!
Of course, Pei Ruyu's daughter-in-law is not a talented person, but a profligate talent. I heard that she does not care about her behavior and makes Prime Minister Pei's family uneasy.
Li Yuhua talked to Empress Dowager Lan and Princess Fengyang about how smart and amazing her good friend and cousin Sister Muxiang was, "Although they all say that Pei Zhuangyuan is very powerful, and he was named a gold medal at a young age, Sister Muxiang is just because she is a daughter.
The body cannot be tested scientifically, otherwise Sister Muxiang will never be able to be ranked lower than Pei Zhuangyuan with her intelligence."
Anyway, Li Yuhua's praises were so lavish that even Empress Dowager Lan and Princess Fengyang found them unreliable.
Li Yuhua suddenly mentioned something, "Royal Grandma, why didn't the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Highness come to greet you this morning? In the past, they all came with the Crown Princess and the Second Sister-in-law?"
Queen Mother Lan said, "Prince, Erlang has to go to court in the morning, so he won't come over. In the past, they would come over at night."
Li Yuhua didn't understand even more, and asked puzzledly, "Then why does the third brother not have to go to court?"
Empress Dowager Lan said, "The emperor has already told Ashen to go to the Hanlin Academy. Maybe he has forgotten the matter because of his busy schedule. Call the emperor over at noon and I will ask him."
"No, no, no." Li Yuhua waved his hands repeatedly, "My third brother and I are planning to spend more time with the imperial grandmother these days. If he goes to the morning court, he won't have time. Let's talk about the morning court later. It's not urgent." Then the Hanlin Academy is a
Li Yuhua doesn't know what it is. It won't be too late to discuss it after she finds out.
After lunch, Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi returned to Yu'an Palace to rest and dismissed the palace servants. Li Yuhua asked about the Hanlin Academy. Mu Anzhi said, "Hanlin Academy, what happened to the place where books are compiled?"
"Are the errands in that place good errands?"
"It's OK."
"I heard from the emperor's grandmother that the emperor wanted you to go to the Hanlin Academy." Li Yuhua didn't think studying books was a good job, "Wouldn't it mean that you have to keep company with nerds?"
"The Han and Lin Dynasties are all educated bachelors," Mu Anzhi corrected.
Li Yuhua couldn't figure out for a while what kind of errands there were in the imperial court. She said, "I said before that I wanted to learn about the official system. Third brother, please teach me."
"You don't have the heart to learn now. It's too late for you to fawn over the Imperial Grandmother all day long."
"Am I being flattery? I sincerely respect the Imperial Grandmother." Li Yuhua refused, "Let me tell you something. Tomorrow Xu's family will come to the palace to pay their respects. I made an agreement with the Imperial Grandmother to borrow the birthday banquet to buy food.
You have to give me enough face during the banquet."
"What? You want to prepare a banquet for them?" Mu Anzhi glanced at Li Yuhua, put down the tea cup in his hand, and made a snap, "Are you okay? What good can they do to you? Do you think they can do anything good to you?
Are you really kind-hearted when you come to the Imperial Capital? It's just that you girl has some stupid luck. And you invite them to dinner? What a waste!"
"What's the matter with inviting me to dinner? I used to invite my defeated generals to dinner. Every time I see the way they say nice things to me without sincerity, I feel very happy."
"I thought you were really stupid." Turns out you weren't stupid.
Li Yuhua glared at Mu An, took down the book on the official system written by Mu Anzhi from the case, and said, "Come here and tell me about it."
Mu Anzhi talked to Li Yuhua all afternoon. He first talked about the various yamen in the imperial capital in general. Li Yuhua learned everything about it and wrote a summary:
吏部=Steward.
Account Department = Accounting Room.
Ministry of Rites = Rules and Regulations.
Ministry of War=Guyuan.
Department of Punishment, Dali Temple = Deacon
Ministry of Industry = craftsman's room.
Hanlinyuan = study room.
Yushitai = complaining.
Qin Tianjian = fortune teller.
When Mu Anzhi saw Li Yuhua's summary, he laughed loudly and praised Li Yuhua's rare genius. Li Yuhua said, "I did this to make it easy to remember. Do you think everyone can have a photographic memory?"
Li Yuhua thought about the Hanlin Academy and said, "Where is the prince on duty? Where is the second prince?"
"The prince is studying government affairs with His Majesty, and the second brother is in the Ministry of Industry."
Li Yuhua thought for a moment. It turned out that the second prince was in charge of the masons' affairs. In comparison, he looked more elegant in the study room. Li Yuhua touched his chin, holding the pen in his mouth and pondering, "The fattest one is either in charge of people or in charge of others."
For money, the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs is the best."
"A woman's opinion." Mu An said, "The best among the new scholars will first enter the Hanlin as a shujishi, and after serving for one year as a shujishi, they will be assigned to different positions. The nobles will not be as noble as the Hanlin, and they will not be as important as the Hanlin. Even if
There are also bachelors in the Hanlin Academy who have been immersed in learning for most of their lives, but half of the officials in the imperial court have spent time in the Hanlin Academy."
"It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to." Li Yuhua's eyes widened, "Then you go to work as an errand in the Imperial Academy, Third Brother."
"This is not my decision. His Majesty may have changed his mind." Mu Anzhi took out the pen tip from her mouth, wiped the saliva on it, and washed it in the pen sink, "I thought about it.
Wouldn't it be good if we asked for a piece of vassal land in the coming days and divided it up to live our own small lives?"
"What!" Li Yuhua's voice almost deafened Mu Anzhi. Xiao Yi, who was on duty outside, was so frightened that he quickly ran in. Li Yuhua pointed at the door and said, "Xiao Yi, go out. Don't come in unless I tell you!"
Xiao Yi saw that his master didn't look like his life was in danger and was about to be beaten, so he backed out uneasily. Li Yuhua couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and asked Mu Anzhi, "What do you mean by enfeoffment?"
"Even when the princes are older, they have their own fiefdoms. For example, the King of Chu and the King of Xiangyang are not in the imperial capital, but in their own fiefdoms."
"Are we going to another place too?"
"It would be best to go to Northern Xinjiang. Ruyu is there. You and his wife are also good sisters. It would be great for us to be together." Mu Anzhi looked longingly.
What a fool!
Li Yuhua was so angry that she didn't realize at all that there was anything good about a shabby place like Northern Xinjiang where the spring breeze never blew! There is a better place in the world than the imperial capital! There is also a place more majestic than the imperial palace!
Northern Xinjiang, etc., sounds like it is not as good as their village!
Besides, Sister Muxiang and Pei Zhuangyuan have gone to Northern Xinjiang. What else are they going to do? Let Pei Zhuangyuan be run by Sister Muxiang first, and they can take the opportunity to make more money in the imperial capital!
Li Yuhua's eyes were squeezed into a triangle, and his eyeballs were shining brightly like knives. One leg was crossed on his knees, and one leg was on the ground, still shaking and shaking, and the abacus beads in his stomach were shaking. Look.
Mu Anzhi had to remind Li Yuhua of this little tiger's appearance, and said, "Well, you still remember what we discussed earlier, right?" We are not really married, we are a fake couple, how come we are feuding?
You take things more seriously than I do.
Li Yuhua was disgusted and said, "Remember."
Mu Anzhi said, "You didn't have this attitude before, Xiaohua." You have changed too quickly.
"I didn't marry you before, so of course I had to put on a show. Now that I'm married to you, my true colors are revealed."
Mu Anzhi: Looking at your natural expression, I am speechless.
