boudoir

Chapter 385
Once things have settled down, we have to start making arrangements.

In the past few days, Liuli was following the progress of Lu Zhao's decree to rehabilitate King Yong, when King Dingbei invited her to the upper room together with Qi Yunhao.

Now that she is still living in the mansion, King Dingbei has given her three months of confinement, and it is still counted as the marriage with the Mei family, so he called her here to discuss the wedding.

I thought that Qi Yunke's marriage would be done by her, but I didn't expect that King Dingbei entrusted her with the whole task of preparing for the wedding, and his reasons were very good: "Although you are already the princess of Huai'an, you are also the princess of Huai'an." You will live in another mansion, but no matter how high you climb, you will always be the king’s daughter-in-law. As the elder sister-in-law, she will share the worries of her parents-in-law and arrange marriages for her brother-in-law. It’s up to you to make up your own mind! Unless this king is dead, you can go your own way.”

Qi Yunhao still showed a look of disapproval for this, but he didn't say anything against it, which already showed his change.And Mei's obviously objected to this, but after Qi Yunhao glanced over coldly, she retracted again.Now in front of Qi Yunhao, she is completely avoiding cats and mice.

Liuli also wanted to evade and say that the Mei family is not still there now, but after hearing what he said, she knew that it was useless to say anything, so for the sake of the old man and Qi Yunhao getting more and more harmonious, she decided to Next.

Besides, after getting along with each other for the past two years, Qi Yunke's nature is really good, he is not soft-boned like Qi Yunjing at all, so this errand is accepted willingly.

But things can't be done in vain, she also has conditions. "There are also a lot of things in the daughter-in-law's courtyard. Now that I take this job, the prince will also agree to a request from the daughter-in-law, so let's treat it as a reward, right?"

"What request?" Dingbei Wang said.

"The daughter-in-law's courtyard has lost a lot of servants, please allow me to transfer the thirty people from Hejia Village back to Chaoqingtang." Liuli straightened her body and said calmly and clearly.

Mei Shi who was sitting in the room raised her head in an instant, and Qi Yunhao also looked at her. King Dingbei didn't make a sound, but sat behind the desk and stared at her for a while, and then hummed, which was regarded as an answer. .

Satisfied, Liuli took Qi Yunhao's arm and went back to the house.She knew that King Dingbei would agree. In fact, she could send someone to bring him back to Hejia Village by herself. She had even sent a letter there, but after all, the old man moved him out. She had to be there. He has to pass Minglu here.

Qi Yunke's wedding is scheduled for May [-]th, and there is still about half a month to go. The six ceremonies have already passed, and the wedding only needs to be held on that date.

Because it is simple, so there are not too many things, and there was a case when she married Qi Yunhao earlier. At that time, Qi Yunhao was the general of Zhenguo. Just wait.During the period of national filial piety, it is not appropriate to entertain guests, so only those who have in-laws, those who have friendship with the palace, and those above Hou Bo must invite these guests.

Liuli handed over all these matters to Wu Zhong and Fan Yun, and they would come back to her if they encountered difficulties in adjudicating.And she also has a happy event in her own yard recently, because Haitang is getting married too.

After the big event was decided, Liuli discussed Ye Tong's future with Qi Yunhao. After thinking about it, Qi Yunhao transferred him to the battalion as a seventh-rank military deputy. There is also a way to advance in the end.

Haitang thus became the general's wife, and Liuli released her from slavery.Haitang cried all night, but what is gained is bound to be lost. In fact, for people like them who rely on Liuli to live, it doesn't matter what nationality they get, but how and how long they can be used by Liuli is important.Haitang has regained her status as a good citizen and became the wife of a seventh-rank military general in charge of the family alone. She will have a great future in the future, but everything in Huai'an Palace has nothing to do with her. Although Ye Tong will remain loyal to Qi Yunhao in the future, but After all, it's not like staying with them as close as lips and teeth.It is up to them to bear the wind, rain and sunshine in the future.

Although Yue Gui has not yet escaped from slavery, she is now one of the two most favored ladies in charge of Princess Huai'an, and Li Xing has also become the general of the Qi Mansion. They are a couple who can call the wind and rain.

Needless to say, Rui'er, although she and Ji Xiaoquan have no possibility of leaving their nationality, let alone lead an army, but Ji Xiaoquan manages Wanlou to flourish, so he has also received a lot of rewards from Liuli. It became more and more prosperous, and Liuli also allowed them to hire two servants and housekeepers.

Nowadays, anyone who wants to see Liuli has to send a message to them to make an appointment. If they don't have any background, let alone meeting Liuli, even the two of them are hard to see.In the past two days, the wife of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, handed over a few posts. The first two times, I didn't know the way, and I was astonished as if I didn't hear the slightest reply. Then I finally found the way. Yuegui finally made an appointment to see Liuli.

Without exception, this kind of friendship that can't be beaten is all for some difficult things. Everyone knows that Qi Yunhao is the most popular person in front of Lu Zhao, and there is almost nothing wrong with Lu Zhao in what he said. He listened, and Qi Yunhao never refused to listen to Liuli's words. If he asked someone to do something, besides finding Liuli directly, what other effective methods are there?Ever since, even concubine Qi, Lu Muyang, Lou Mingfang and other noble ladies who had a deep personal relationship with Liuli began to be harassed, just to entrust their connections to ask Liuli to do things.

But Liuli doesn't help others so easily, what does these court affairs have to do with her as a housewife?If there is a grievance, go directly to the government or the Dali Temple, what is it to look for her?Even if you give her money, she doesn't care too much!Now that Wanlou has started to make a profit, she bought two more shops at the beginning of the year and started the antique business. She, Qi Yunhao and Xiaodulu all enjoy imperial salaries, so they are not short of money!

But if there are things like bullying women and children in it, she vows to take care of it to the end. She doesn't charge a penny, but she always has to be investigated and found out, and then the evidence is handed over to the government so that the murderer can be severely punished. .

Little Concubine Qi and the others gradually understood her principles, and gradually pushed all the posts that begged for officials or begged for mercy for their husbands.Only things like oppressing women and children and seizing people's property are left for her to see.

When it comes to doing things for others, there is one thing I have to say. After Song Pihe's mansion was sent to prison, Lu Zhao originally wanted to behead all the people except the servants of the Song family. After Liuli heard the news, she went to the palace to see her Lu Zhao side.

She didn't say any words of intercession, but just showed him all the documents written by Song Pi.In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Zhao went to the palace in smock and sat in the Chaoqing hall for half a day, then said to Liuli: "Song Bi is a talented person, but he is the one who will abolish the crown prince. I still don't trust him."

Liuli said: "Although he has assisted the abolished prince, he has no ambition to establish himself as an emperor. Now that the abolished prince has been exiled to northern Xinjiang, he heard that he is suffering from a serious illness and his life is in danger. His Majesty thinks that Song Bi may still stubbornly persist. Original intention? If he is so devoted to the crown prince, why hasn't he died yet?"

Lu Zhao was silent.

Liu Li continued: "This shows that he has remorse. If the Holy Majesty spared his talent at this time and exonerated him, then he might be grateful for the Holy Majesty's kindness and be more loyal to the Holy Majesty. The Majesty killed their family, but it was too much A few heads, if they keep their family, maybe they will add a few more pillars to the court. Even if they really have dissident hearts, it is not too late to kill them when they find out that they have such signs. So It's a good deal, why doesn't Your Majesty do it?"

Lu Zhao was silent for a while, drank a bowl of grapefruit tea that she had made by herself, and returned to the palace.

Not long after, the imperial court issued a decree to let Song Pi go to northern Guangxi to serve as county magistrate for three years, so as to see the effect and reward and punish as appropriate.Song Ziyu stayed in Beijing and was dismissed, and he will be transferred as appropriate after Song Bi returns to Beijing after his term of office expires.

On the third day after she was released from prison, Shuhua went to the palace with Mrs. Song in plain dresses with hairpin hairpins. When she saw Liuli, she knelt down and bowed three times.Knowing that they were sincere, Liuli accepted her gift and helped them up.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The Song Mansion was rescued by Liuli. If there is no deliberate concealment, it will always spread. Maybe it is because of this incident that people gradually come to the door. After all, Song Bi He is in-laws with the deposed prince, and the Yue family of the emperor's eldest grandson. It is not easy to keep him down, and ordinary people don't have the courage.

While Liuli was busy with internal and external affairs, while arranging Qi Yunke's marriage, Min Hua also came to the door.Liuli hadn't seen her for several months, she was already very thin, and there was a whitish scar behind her ear.

"Ma Weiqing hit you again?" Liuli's tone suddenly turned cold, and the cup in her hand was placed on the case with a bang.

As soon as the corner of Min Hua's mouth smiled bitterly, his eyes turned red. "This scar has been around for a long time. During the month when you and Empress Xiao Yuanhui confronted each other in Qianqing Palace last year, he beat me every day. I blamed me for having a younger sister like you. Now it makes him I will be implicated as a traitor. My mother-in-law also scolded me for not being able to give them face. I couldn’t hold on that day and wanted to jump into the well. It was Cheng Er who hugged my leg and pulled me back. Otherwise, I won’t be able to see you today either. He let me see you today because he wants me to please you so that he can move his official position.”

Liuli was so angry that her cheeks turned pale, she slapped her palm on the table and said, "I just want to ask you a question, do you still want to stay in Ma's house?"

Min Hua shook his head, tears rolling down his face: "If it wasn't for the two children, I would have left long ago. If I had left, they would definitely not have given me the child. How could he treat my child if he continued his strings in the future?" Okay? So, I can't go."
