Chapter 369 Hate in my heart
She would not tell Liuli about how Song Pi kept the crown prince, and Liuli did not count on it, the relationship between them was purely transactional.However, Liuli also learned from this passage that there are at least such a group of loyal people around the prince.

Recently, Qi Yunhao and Jiang Che took turns to be on duty in Qianqing Palace. After returning in the evening, Liuli told him about Shuhua's visit.Qi Yunhao didn't say anything after listening, but the next day there was news that Qi Zhengyu broke into Zhongyong Hou's mansion and asked to see Duan Wenhui.Zhongyong Hou Yanzheng sternly refused, but at that moment, Duan Wenhui ran out with disheveled clothes for some reason, and ran to Qi Zhengyu and called "Brother Hao".Qi Zhengyu exploded in anger, and then ran back to Kunqing Palace to question the queen.The queen, who was also kept in the dark, was full of anger and hatred, so she also called Zhongyonghou into the palace and scolded him.Zhongyong Hou knelt down in Kunqing Palace for a whole day, and finally fainted in front of the palace, and the queen had him dragged back to the mansion.

The news of Duan Wenhui's madness spread throughout Beijing. Even though there are not many people gathering in the streets and alleys, they can't help spreading it in a planned and strategic manner.The scandal of the Duan family was revealed again, and it became a pastime for people to relieve the pressure of the political situation.

Liuli wondered why Duan Wenhui ran out at that time?Ji Jiaoer later informed: "Wu Yue heard that Qi Zhengyu was coming, so she let Duan Wenhui out and told her that his brother Hao was coming, so she just rushed out."

Liuli was very satisfied, and people gave Wuyue a big reward.After thinking about it, I also rewarded Huang Yu's two mothers by the way.

Since Qi Yunhao came back from the palace that day, Liuli also told him that these two are Princess Ye's dowry maids. Needless to say, Qi Yunhao was shocked, and quickly asked about their residence for so many years. He rushed to King Dingbei again to ask for evidence. I don't know what King Dingbei said, but he came out after a while.

Since then, the treatment of the two nuns has been slightly different from before. Yuegui knew that Liuli respected them from the bottom of her heart because of Qi Yunhao's relationship, so she also told the maids in private to respect the nuns.

In this way, everyone in the mansion knew that Princess Ye's dowry reappeared in the mansion after disappearing for many years, and was brought back by the order of King Dingbei himself, so many speculations about Princess Ye emerged again. up.

Of course, Mrs. Mei also knew the news.When Xiangying came to tell her, she was drinking porridge, and she fell to the ground after listening to a bowl of porridge.

"Qi Jifei! You are worthy of me!" She overturned the table in front of her, knocked down the antique shelf next to it, smashed the big plum vase in the corner, and finally overturned all the calligraphy and painting antiques on the table. on the ground.Xiangying hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Madam, don't do this, it won't do you any good."

Mei Shi seemed to have been pulled out of his muscles and bones, and sat down on the chair, rubbing his face and crying.

She is in her early forties, and she is about to enjoy the blessings of her sons and daughters, but at this time, King Dingbei turned Ye Shi out to make things difficult for her, and the grievances she suffered in Chaoqingtang on the day of Liuli's delivery came back again. , she was really disappointed with King Dingbei.She didn't know what else she had gained in these years besides the false name of a lady?She is inferior to Mrs. Ye. Although Mrs. Ye is dead, she wants to be honored and honored, and she wants to be respected and favored. King Dingbei sent her dowry away for so many years without letting anyone know. Who is this guarding against?It's not about guarding against her!He even protects Ye's servants so much, can he live without her in his heart? !

She could never compare to a woman who had only been married to him for a year!This made her hate Mrs. Ye even more. Why did she have such a great magic power that made him miss her so much?
She wanted to know so much, but she had no way of knowing, because Mrs. Ye was dead, no matter how bad she was, King Dingbei only remembered her good.

"Xiangying, what do you mean I live like this?"

Looking at the indifferent sky outside the door, she suddenly felt that she was surrounded by beautiful brocades, but her heart felt so empty.

"lady!"

Xiangying didn't know what to say, everyone only knew that the Mei family was in charge of the palace, but in fact, it was King Dingbei who really said the same thing.He is not only the king of the battlefield, but also the real king in this palace.From the very beginning, the Mei family entered Qifu with a humble attitude. King Dingbei was used to her obedience and weakness, and she was also used to submissive in front of him. princess?
If the Mei family wants to fight, she must lose, but her love for King Dingbei makes her have to fight and care. What she fights for is a false name. In fact, if you take a step back, she is not a princess. , but absolutely owns King Dingbei, King Dingbei never took concubines, never had concubine children, which is already very rare for ordinary powerful women.Although there is Qi Yunhao who was left behind by the Ye family, but he himself has a reputation, even if he inherits the title, it is only natural.These are earned by Qi Yunhao herself, and it is better for her not to fight than to fight.

As a house-filler with all these, what more is there to ask for?However, in order to firmly grasp the power in her hand, Mrs. Mei has been busy with the government and household affairs all these years. She was afraid that losing these would mean losing her status as a wife, so she never cared about educating her children, so much so that she prayed Yun Jing was greedy for life and afraid of death, Qi Yunke was at odds with her, and Qi Mulan didn't look like a noble lady of the royal family at all.This is all her responsibility.King Dingbei didn't say it, wouldn't he think it in his heart?
What she should do is to care for her husband and teach her children. It is her dereliction of duty that the children are not educated well.It was not without consideration that King Dingbei sent all his sons to the battlefield.Therefore, Qi Yunke, who has persisted until now, can be of great use, while Qi Yunjing, who has stayed in Beijing after being injured halfway, is hardly liked by him.Compared with the step-wife, men valued their heirs more. Now their father and son have a close relationship with Qi Yunhao, who lived and died together, but they are increasingly alienated from the Mei family. Isn't it easy to figure out the reason?
It's a pity that Mrs. Mei doesn't understand what is wrong with her at all. As a servant, what can Xiangying herself say to her?

In the evening, Liuli had just eaten and was getting out of bed to digest food in the small flower hall, when Dongmei opened the curtain to announce that Wu Zhong had come.

King Dingbei said on the day of Liuli's delivery that he would give Liuli the same palm as Mei's after Liuli's confinement. These days Wu Zhong came to Chaoqing Hall more often.It's not to please her, but King Dingbei asked him to ask Mei about everything before reporting to Liuli, which is tantamount to letting her participate in "politics" in advance.Because she just listened to it and learned about the daily affairs of the palace, so Liuli didn't think it was troublesome.Qi Yunhao didn't want her to take over this hand at first, but because Liuli felt that King Dingbei and him had finally gotten back together, it was not appropriate to dismiss him suddenly, and of course she still wanted to take the opportunity to practice her hands, so she persuaded him to go back he.

After Wu Zhong came in, he bowed to Liuli first, and then said: "A few days ago, because of the men who killed the prince, they used a lot of lamp oil and candles. Now the stock is not much, and we need to stock up immediately. Please give me a note from grandma. Let the little one go to the cashier to get the money."

Liu Li was puzzled when she heard this: "Madam has always been in charge of this batch of money, and I haven't given it to you yet, so why ask me?"

Wu Zhong glanced at her and said, "Madam is ill."

"Ill?" Liuli couldn't help frowning, yesterday she heard that the Mei clan was beating slaves in Rongxitang, how could she be suddenly sick? "What disease?"

"The little one doesn't know either." Wu Zhong said: "The imperial physician was announced in the next afternoon, and then he prescribed a prescription for people to get the medicine. Just now, the little one went to ask for instructions, but Xiangying said that the wife was asleep, so the little one came to ask grandma .”

Liuli intuited that Mrs. Mei was messing around again, knowing that she was in confinement, but still asked Wu Zhong to ask her to approve the money. Was it not clear that she was not allowed to live in Ansheng?
"I don't have a pass card here, even if you approve it verbally, you won't get any money." Liuli sat down, took a bite of the bird's nest handed over by Yue Gui, and said, "But since the mansion is waiting for money, you So I went to the grain and oil store to credit a thousand catties of lamp oil and candles, and said that I would give them the money after my wife recovered from her illness."

Wu Zhong was stunned when he heard this.Going to credit two thousand catties of wax oil, not to mention that there are not a few shops that can afford this amount on credit, but even if they can afford it, the dignified Dingbei Palace actually wants to ask someone to credit something. Is it plausible to spread the word?How do people bury the head of the mansion behind their backs?When Wu Zhong thought of this, he also understood Liuli's meaning.Although Mrs. Mei is a serious Mrs. Dingbei Wang, others don't know about Dingbei Wang's attitude towards her now, but he is not. See who has the most say?

Seeing Liuli sitting and drinking soup in a leisurely manner, his heart was like a mirror, and he immediately said: "I will follow grandma's orders. However, there is no proof, and she may not be willing to take this order."

Liuli put down the soup bowl and said, "You won't let him deliver the goods to your house and ask Madam for money in person?"

Wu Zhong slapped his forehead and suddenly said: "Grandma is wise! Let's go now, little one!"

Wu Zhong went out, and Yue Gui came out, "Ma'am, this is deliberately torturing grandma to death. She will know how powerful grandma is when they deliver the goods to the door and wait for the money by guarding the gate of Rongxi Hall."

Liuli didn't speak, she originally thought that Mei Shi was deliberately torturing her, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Mei Shi could not be so heartless.If Liuli didn't agree to Wu Zhong today, and didn't come up with such an idea, then if Wu Zhong went to report to King Bei, wouldn't she be the one who ate the melons?At this time, she could no longer bear the dissatisfaction of King Dingbei towards her, no matter how dissatisfied, Mei's half of the power would be in danger.

No matter how stupid Mrs. Mei is, she will never fail to understand this truth.So Liuli felt that there should be something strange here, not just to make her unable to confine herself to confinement.
