boudoir

Chapter 406 Old things
When the Mu family was arranging Qi Yunjing's marriage, Qi Mulan also followed her and helped her. Now she is becoming more and more obedient, and she will remember what Liuli says.Liuli wondered if she had really changed her sexuality completely, but then found that the stubbornness in her bones would still show up in other places, such as in front of the servants, but it was not the wayward running into her room with Duan Wenhui back then. Instead of being the stubborn one who came to make a fuss, she became the one who refused to let go of the subordinates who were obedient and obedient.

This day, when Wu Zixin came to ask Liuli for his pulse again, Qi Mulan happened to be there, Liuli said, "The county magistrate also has a little problem, you should give her a diagnosis too."

Qi Mulan was a little embarrassed, but since Liuli gave her milk soup last time, she felt calmer, so she stretched out her hand to the table.

After diagnosing the pulse, Wu Zixin prescribed a prescription for her and explained some taboos.Liuli said casually: "How is the Queen Mother these days?"

Wu Zixin said: "The empress dowager was over-thinking because of the death of the first emperor, which hurt her liver and spleen. She has recuperated for a while, but she is much better. Today, she called Mrs. Yongle into the palace to speak."

Mrs. Yongle is the elder sister of the Empress Dowager Luo. She was originally the lord of Nanyang, but after her husband died and she was widowed, the Luo family took her back to the capital.Empress Dowager Luo is not very close to her natal family, and it was rare to hear that she called her natal family into the palace in the past, but now she suddenly thinks of this elder sister again, I don't know what her thoughts are.

But this has nothing to do with Liuli, it's fine if she has heard about it.

After Wu Zixin left, Qi Mulan saw that Liuli was fine, so she pursed her lips and said, "This Mrs. Yongle's former husband seems to be Princess Ye's elder brother."

No matter how calm Liuli was, she almost dropped her teacup when she heard the words Princess Ye.Mrs. Yongle's husband is Princess Ye's brother?Is there still this relationship between them?Qi Yunhao never said that!

"How do you know?" She looked at Qi Mulan.

When she became serious, Qi Mulan was still a little apprehensive, so she hurriedly said: "When I was a child, I overheard it when I was listening to my father talking to the first emperor. Not a few years after Mrs. Yongle married Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye passed away. It seems that he was not in good health, and later he was too sad because of Princess Ye's death, so he couldn't get sick anymore."

Liuli stared at the threshold for a long time, then said, "What else do you know?"

Qi Mulan thought for a while, and then said: "The relationship between the Ye family and the late emperor does not seem to be very good, and I don't know why. In short, the reason why the Ye family left the capital and returned to their ancestral home in Nantian has something to do with the late emperor."

Liuli supported the edge of the couch with one hand, and tore off the thin blanket covering her knees.

She has long suspected that Qi Yunhao is the nephew of the Ye family, and that the Ye family has ignored him for so many years. Qi Yunhao ignored Qi Yunhao because of righteousness, but there were other helpless reasons.But since the Ye family has such a deep relationship with the royal family, it should have a particularly strong relationship with the Lu family. What did the late emperor do to make even the Ye family, who had been married to the royal family for generations, withdraw from the family?
Liuli first thought about whether the late emperor would inflict some crimes on the Ye family again, but after thinking about it, the Nantian Ye family is still the largest family in the court, and many children in the family are still officials in the court, but They are all in Beijing.If the first emperor wanted to suppress it, not to mention that the Ye family would not have such a happy life, even the court would spread some rumors. In the past few years, she has never heard a single word about the late emperor's punishment of the Ye family.

This is why?

Of course, Qi Mulan's words may not be true, even if she didn't intend to lie, but she was still young when she heard this, and she might remember it wrong.So Liuli thought about it for a while, then let it go.

But at noon when she prayed for Yunhao to come back, she still asked him: "Have you thought about going to Nantian for a walk?"

Qi Yunhao was very surprised and said, "Why?"

"No reason," Liuli shook her head, "I just thought, there was no one from the Ye family when we got married, and we haven't been in contact until now. After all, it's your uncle and grandfather, so don't you really need to move around?" ?”

Qi Yunhao was a little confused, thought for a long time, and said: "I haven't contacted for so many years, I don't know how to move around. I also don't know anyone from the Ye family. It's too presumptuous, let's forget it." After finishing speaking, he separated After a while, he said again: "Actually, I wrote to them when I was young, but unfortunately they ignored me, and I never thought of going to them again."

Liuli sat down next to him, patted his head, "Okay, let's not talk about that."

Qi Yunhao put his head on her shoulder and rubbed against her like a kitten.

Because Qi Yunjing was married for the second time, the scale was not as good as when he married his first wife, so there were only 68 tables for the banquet.Mrs. Mu alone took the lead, praying that Mulan hadn't left the cabinet, so she couldn't show her face, so she stayed in the inner house to take care of her.And Liuli's task today is to accompany the guests with the Mei family. Today is not Chaoqingtang's banquet, and their relationship with the second room is not so good, so all guests are entertained in Rongxitang and Yongqingtang, and Chaoqingtang is empty. Leave it to the kids to run wild.

Mrs. Mei hadn't shown up for a long time, and all the mansions knew that Liuli was in charge of the palace, so all the female guests who came to the mansion greeted Liuli first, and put Mrs. Mei behind.Mei Shi saw it, so she casually said to Liuli: "There are many people here, be careful, you'd better go back to your room and rest."

I'm afraid that if she kowtows on her stomach, it's because she wants to steal her limelight, right?Did she really ask her to go back to her room to rest, so that these people outside would think she was arrogant?Liu Li said without moving her expression: "I really want to accept Madam's kindness, but if I go back to my room, I'm afraid that Madam won't be able to hold on to the scene, and none of the servants can do anything about it, and I'll lose the face of the palace if I turn around." , everyone outside knows that I am in charge of this family, but Madam shirks and says that it is none of your business, so there is no way to deal with it."

Mei's face turned red and white, and she flung her sleeves and went elsewhere.

Liuli sighed, cheered up and went to deal with the guests again.

It's not that she wants to be so strong, it's really that she can't bear the consequences.However, against Mei's uncontrollable strength, Liuli reckoned that she was about to die.

After the luncheon, the guests dispersed one after another, and the dinner was basically only held for a few close ones, all of which were handled by the Mu family. Liuli took the gift booklet and counted it with Wu Zhong, and then transferred back to Chaoqingtang. Didn't even eat dinner.

Qi Yunke felt strange and asked Mu Shi: "What's wrong with sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Mu glanced at him and said: "Madam asked sister-in-law to go back to her room to rest."

Qi Yunke was taken aback for a moment, Liuli was the mistress of the house, and Mrs. Mei told her to go back to her room to rest, didn't this obviously embarrass her?In front of Mrs. Mu, he didn't know what to say, so he said: "Then you get someone to send some food to the long room."

Mu Shi said: "I called early, but the people in sister-in-law's room have already prepared for her."

Qi Yunke nodded, that's all.

The next day there is still the custom of offering tea to the bride.Liuli chose a meeting gift similar to the one given to the Mu family and gave it to Li Fu, and Li Fu accepted it graciously.Qi Yunjing kept looking at her with a smile.

It seems that Qi Yunjing is still very satisfied with the newly married wife, and there is no way he can't be dissatisfied. It is quite difficult to really pick out a person like Li Fu from the group of ladies. It lies in her kindness.In order to disguise her as a virgin, Liuli had spent a lot of time getting Xu Yuan to consult a famous doctor in Sichuan and Shu.

Liuli smiled the whole time, and when King Dingbei came out, she also followed out holding the gift booklet.After entering the study yard, she gave the booklet to Bei Wangdao: "My lord, please have a look."

King Dingbei took it and put it aside, and said, "Is there any problem?"

Liuli said: "It's nothing else, but the gift money from Meifu this time is not on the list."

"Where is that?" King Dingbei raised his chin and asked.

Liu Li said: "I don't know about this daughter-in-law. Someone did come to the Mei family, but when the gift was received, it was Madam who took it to the counting room. I don't know if the uncle and the wife forgot or what."

"Nonsense!" Wang Dingbei said, "How can there be such a thing as forgetting to register?" After finishing speaking, he also calmed down. Since it was the tent brought by Mrs. Mei, it probably has something to do with Mrs. Mei, maybe It is not yet determined whether it will be placed in Mei's hands for the time being.Although he knew that Mei Shi was a little narrow-minded, he hadn't thought of her too badly yet.

"Let's put it here first." He decided to turn around and ask Mrs. Mei.

Liuli nodded and left.

So two days passed.This day Liuli came back from a stroll in the back garden before entering the hallway, Yin Ping walked over with small steps and said: "Second Lord and Madam are fighting."

So fast?She stopped.

Yin Ping said: "Ma'am blamed the second grandma for being late this morning when she went to pay her respects. She wanted the second grandma to set the rules. If the second grandma refused, the madam punished her by kneeling. The second grandma had no choice but to kneel, but secretly let Suxin go. Tell the second master that the second master went to Rongxitang to intercede with the second grandmother. When the wife got angry, she scolded the second master for marrying his wife and forgetting his mother. No, the two sides will be on top."

Liuli asked, "Where are the two in the second room?"

"It's quiet at the moment, I think it's just waiting and watching." Yin Ping said.

Liu Li replied, "Then let them make trouble. Second Mistress won't suffer. As long as she doesn't report to us, we'll pretend we didn't hear about it."

Yin Ping hummed, and said: "But the third grandma has already gone to Rongxi Hall to persuade her to make peace when she heard about it."

"She's gone?" Liuli frowned, her face darkened.What does this have to do with Mr. Mu!After a while, she was relieved and said: "Let her go, let her go. She has handled such a big matter by herself, so it's inevitable that she will feel a little bit flustered in her heart. Let her go and eat a few melons. It's good to calm down." .”

Yin Ping smiled and said, "Yes."
