After Yan Li came out of Yan's house, he first went to Xuerongzhai on Chang'an Avenue to buy some Yikehua pastries, and then went to a tailor shop to buy some women's and children's clothes.

Qi Tanying followed behind, if they hadn't agreed in advance, and she suddenly saw him buying these on the street, she would definitely suspect that he was someone outside.

After Yan Li bought the cakes and clothes, he turned into Qingshi Street along Chang'an Avenue, and stayed there for a while until a driver came with a green-draped carriage. He looked around vigilantly, and then went into the Get into the carriage.

Qi Tanying ordered the coachman to follow, and the green curtained carriage left the city from Yingwumen, and drove all the way out of the city, Qi Tanying's carriage also followed him out of the city.

After walking for a while, the green curtained carriage stopped outside a house in Liuxiang Town on the outskirts of the city.Yan Li got out of the carriage and walked straight into the house with cakes and clothes.

Qi Tanying also got out of the carriage, rushed in with a few tall servants, and soon there was a sound of smashing utensils in the house, accompanied by the roar of men and the cries of children.

The neighbors around the house heard the commotion, and they all came out to watch.

After about a stick of incense, the sound of smashing stopped, Qi Tanying with a livid face came out with his servants, and immediately ordered them to go back to the house.

The two men in black who were hiding in the dark looked at each other, one stayed and the other went back to report.

What they didn't know was that this was just a scene played by Yan Li and Qi Tanying. When Qi Tanying left the house, Yan Li also left with him pretending to be a servant.

After the Yan family's carriage entered the city, it drove all the way to Xingqingfang and stopped at the gate of Qi's house.Yan Li took the opportunity to slip away, while Qi Tanying went back to her natal home to visit her mother.

Since autumn, Mrs. Qi's cough has become more and more frequent, but it is not a serious illness. Qi Tanying decided to send Xiangzhi back to Qi's house, and asked her to prepare herbal diet for Mrs. Qi.

She told Madam Qi about this proposal, and Madam Qi agreed.

She stayed at her mother's house until it was almost the time of You, and when she got home, Yan Li hadn't returned yet, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

At the same time, Yan Li was rushing to the East Palace with the evidence obtained from Master Wu's wife and children.

Half an hour later, the East Palace, the Hall of Discussion.

The crown prince looked carefully at the evidence presented by Yan Li, his face became more serious as he turned over.When he saw the last page, his expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Yan Li called out to His Highness.

The prince looked at him with a cold face, "Are you sure no one else touched this evidence?"

Yan Li said: "After I got it from Mrs. Wu, I came directly to the East Palace."

The crown prince took a deep breath and handed the evidence to him. Yan Li took it and quickly browsed through it. When he saw that Yun Guifei's background was different, he couldn't help but gasped.

There is no other reason. On the last page of the evidence, it is impressively written that Concubine Yun Gui is Princess Shaochun, the daughter of the abolished emperor of the previous dynasty.

But isn't Concubine Yun the eldest daughter of Han Boxian, a famous scholar in Qingliu? If the sage hadn't already had a regular wife back then, with Concubine Yun's talent, appearance and background, she would be qualified to be a crown princess.

The prince said to Yan Li: "I need you to do two things, one is to finish the case of the robbery of the official bank as soon as possible, and the other is to secretly investigate the Han family. It is necessary to confirm the authenticity of this evidence."

Yan Li took over the errand.

After returning home from the East Palace, Qi Tanying immediately stepped forward to ask if the matter was going well, Yan Li nodded and said: "Thanks to A Tan's help, things went well, the evidence has been sent to the East Palace, and Master Wu's wife and children have also passed away." Set up properly."

Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She looked at her husband slightly complaining, "In order to help you, I have already gained the reputation of being a jealous woman. See, within three days, there will be rumors in the capital that the wife of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a jealous woman. "

Yan Li hugged her into his arms after hearing this, and tapped her nose lightly, "It's good to be jealous, I like jealous people."

Hearing what he said, Qi Tanying gave him an angry look.

At this time, the couple didn't know that Qi Tanying's reputation of jealousy would spread to the palace, and it was Concubine Mei who first mentioned it.

On this day, the harem concubines gathered in the Queen's Qiwu Palace.

Qi Shisanniang just got promoted a few days ago, and now she is with Jieyu. According to the rules of the Empress Palace, only concubines of Jieyu and above are eligible to pay respects to the queen.

Qi Shisanniang came to Qiwu Palace once when she was first conferred, and this is the second time to see the queen.

After the ceremony, Qi Shisanniang looked at everyone calmly. The queen was the oldest, looking gentle and amiable. Concubine Yun Gui who sat at the head of her was dignified and majestic, and the one on the lower right was the arrogant Shu concubine.

These three are the most important figures in the harem, and the three older princes, Prince Yu, and King Qian, are born of her three.

As for the other concubines, Qi Shisanniang is most familiar with Concubine Mei. After all, she had no intention of depriving Concubine Mei of the opportunity to be favored twice before. Obviously, Concubine Mei also remembered this.

She laughed and told everyone about interesting stories from outside the palace, one of which was that Qi Tanying took her servants to catch the rape, and everyone knew about it.

After finishing speaking, she looked at Shisanniang Qi, "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Yan seems to be Jieyu's sister, right?"

Qi Shisanniang nodded, "Yes."

Concubine Mei looked at the queen again after hearing the words, "Madam, my concubine heard that Yan Shaoqing married his wife when he was old, and now he has been married to his wife for two years, and he still has nothing to do under his knees. Mrs. Yan controls the inner house and does not allow Yan Shaoqing to take concubines." , this is really not good."

Before the queen could speak, Concubine Shu snorted coldly: "Concubine Mei's hands may not be too long, do you need to take care of the affairs between husband and wife?"

Concubine Shu's choking made Concubine Mei's smile froze, "Sister Concubine Shu misunderstood, I just think that we women should be more virtuous and generous, and not jealous."

Concubine Shu sneered when she heard the words: "You are indeed magnanimous, and you can laugh when you are taken away from favor."

Concubine Shu has always been at odds with Concubine Mei, and when they are together, they will always try to keep her from stepping down.When Concubine Shu taunted Concubine Mei, all eyes turned to Concubine Mei, only to see that her face turned red all of a sudden, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.

It was the queen who helped her out, and Concubine Shu did not continue to target her because of the queen's sake.

In the afternoon of that day, Qi Tanying was listening to the stewards' report, but unexpectedly received six beautiful maidservants from Concubine Shu's natal Wu'anhou Mansion, Concubine Yun Gui's natal Han Mansion, and Concubine Mei's natal Mei Mansion.

Qi Tanying frowned and looked at the beauties standing in a row with different styles. Since it was rumored outside that she was a jealous woman, she might as well settle her reputation.

Just when she was about to send the six beautiful maidservants back intact, Yan Li suddenly came back from Dali Temple and asked Qi Tanying to keep them all.

Qi Tanying's expression was uneasy, not because she was afraid that Yan Li would really take the six maidservants into the house, but because even she knew that those families had ulterior motives, so he even kept them.

I don't know what he wants to do?
