The lucky little prince's doting wife

Chapter 72 Li Guiren said, choose the lesser of two evils.

When Li Guiren returned to the Yufu Palace where she lived, because she lived with several nobles and beauties, Li Guiren still had to maintain the expression on her face and did not dare to show dissatisfaction, sadness, etc. This will let Queen Wei know that she has a resentful expression towards her.

The fifth prince Li You had been waiting for a while in the East Pavilion where Li Guiren lived. Seeing Li Guiren return, the fifth prince stood up.

Li Guiren looked at the table and said to the palace attendant who was serving her: "Go and get some more refreshments."

After the palace people retreated, the fifth prince whispered: "Mother and concubine?"

Li Guiren shook her head and said, "It's my mother who made a mistake."

The fifth prince fell silent immediately.

Li Guiren sat down on the chair, and the mother and son were silent for a long time.Li Gui came from a humble family, and she had some ambitions when she was young. She wanted to use her beauty to build a bright future for herself.Especially when she was pregnant with the fifth prince, Li Guiren had even more ambitions. Will she be more valuable than her son?As a result, Queen Wei gave birth to the third prince that year, and something happened to Queen Yan soon after, and Emperor Xuanjing fell seriously ill and almost failed to survive.The prince he gave birth to after a day and a night was obviously supposed to be the fourth prince, but Emperor Xuanjing insisted on letting the fetus in Empress Yan's belly and never come to the world take the title of fourth prince, so her son could only be the fifth prince.In the blink of an eye, 18 years had passed, and he was looking up to Queen Wei in the palace for survival, but the fifth prince, Li Guiren, didn't even know if Emperor Xuan Jing still remembered that he had such a son.

"What else did the Queen say to the mother-in-law?" the fifth prince asked Li Guiren.

Li Guiren: "Your father is holding a family banquet tonight, and Princess Le'an's family is also there. The empress wants you to find an opportunity to ask your father for Xie Zihe's daughter."

Empress Wei wanted to confiscate Xie Zihe's ninth daughter to her. Last night, she sent someone to tell Li Guiren and her son about this matter.The fifth prince knew that he could not shirk it, but he did not expect that Queen Wei would be so anxious.

Li Guiren: "You also saw it today. Lin Deyi won the competition. Although I don't know what official your father will promote him to, but the official position will definitely be high. Princess Le'an is happy, but the Empress is uncomfortable. ”

So this woman came to force their mother and son?
The fifth prince is the same age as the third prince born to Queen Wei, but compared to the third prince, who is the most popular prince, the fifth prince knows that he is nothing, but he is still a prince after all!Who is that girl from the Xie family?He is a coffin with bad luck. He has an imperial concubine, a concubine, and women who serve him. He has no shortage of women!
Seeing that the fifth prince looked wrong, Li Guiren hurriedly said to his son: "You can't go against the empress."

She has long since faded and lost favor, and it doesn't matter whether she dies or not, but the fifth prince can't survive?As a mother, she lives and dies in the imperial palace, a place enclosed by a square courtyard. Even if the fifth prince only wants to be a rich and idle person, if you want to offend the Wei family, why do you want to be a rich and idle person?
Li Guiren: "You saw that Miss Xie Jiu today, right?"

The fifth prince said coldly: "I saw it. I saw how happy she and Lin Deyi were."

Li Guiren said politely: "Yes, yes."

Fifth Prince: "If my son asks his father for something tonight, then we will offend Princess Le'an and the Lin family. Concubine, do I really want to do this?"

Li Guiren stayed up all night last night, worrying about this matter, so when the fifth prince asked her, Li Guiren said: "If you don't want to offend the Lin family, you have to offend the Wei family."

The fifth prince didn't want to offend anyone.

Li Guiren smiled sadly and said: "Who told us, mother and son, to have to depend on others to live?"

Both mother and son fell silent for a moment.

"Didn't the palace attendant next to the mother-in-law go to get refreshments?" After a long silence, the fifth prince suddenly said: "Where has she been getting refreshments for such a long time?"

Li Guiren: "Let's choose the lesser of the two evils. We really can't afford to offend the Wei family." It's not easy to offend the Lin family, but in Li Guiren's case, at least the Lin family has a clean family tradition, and Lin Yong is at least a human being. The Wei family is a monster that bites people, and Chief Wei is a villain who hides a knife in his smile.It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. The noble lady fears the Wei family like a tiger, so the fifth prince is not surprised at all when she makes this choice.

"It's useless as a mother-in-law," Li Guiren shed tears as she looked at the fifth prince.

The fifth prince turned to look outside the door. The sky outside was gloomy, as if it was going to rain.Thinking about the royal family banquet in the evening, the fifth prince felt that he was like a person going up the mountain of swords, and even taking one step would make him drip with blood.

Li Guiren also looked outside the door and said to the fifth prince, "If it rains heavily, the family banquet may not be held."

The fifth prince sighed.

Look at how pitiful the mother and son are. They are counting on heavy rain to cancel a family dinner, delaying the matter for one day, and even delaying their death is a good thing.

"Young Master Lin, why do you still think about getting a wife?" Li Guiren thought about it and couldn't help complaining to Princess Le'an. Your son has killed eight girls, and you still want to kill this evil star. Continue to kill people?

The fifth prince smiled bitterly and said, "Then I still saved someone's life?"

Just because Li Guiren dislikes Lin Deyi, it doesn't mean that she doesn't dislike Xie Jiuhuan. Not to mention that this girl has her own bad luck, her family background is extremely poor, and her upbringing seems to be poor today. She is not worthy of being her son's bed-warming slave.

"Fortunately, she looks pretty good," Li Guiren sighed. This is Miss Xie Jiu's only advantage.

The fifth prince didn't say anything. He saw Xie Jiuhuan's appearance today. He didn't need his mother and concubine to tell him. He knew that Xie Jiuhuan's appearance was hard to choose.

Li Guiren suddenly said again: "Don't keep getting involved with her just because she is beautiful. This girl is very unlucky. Don't try to hurt you. If you ask me, you can build a small Buddhist hall in your house so that Let her live next to the Bodhisattva."

The fifth prince still said nothing.

Li Guiren: "I'm talking to you."

The fifth prince nodded and said, "Yes, my son understands."

At this time, the palace servant brought tea and told Li Guiren that it was freshly made in the small kitchen, so she waited for a long time.

Li Guiren didn't say anything to the palace people. A woman who was not favored in the harem was treated like this. There was nothing to say. Li Guiren accepted her fate.With the palace people present, Li Gui and the fifth prince stopped talking. To this day, mother and son still didn't understand how many people from Queen Wei were around Li Gui, so they just stopped talking when someone was present.

After dark, the royal family banquet was held in the Lotus Appreciation Hall of the Royal Garden.Seeing Empress Wei coming with noble Li, Princess Le'an murmured in her heart, how could a noble person of the Zhou family be qualified to participate in the family banquet without the will of Emperor Xuan Jing?
"This lady, the Queen, must be taken with her wherever she goes," Mrs. Rong and Princess Le'an said in a low voice.

Princess Le'an saw the fifth prince again now and said, "I didn't say anything, she is the biological mother of the fifth prince."

Mrs. Rong was relieved now that her master would not confront Empress Wei before the family banquet started.
