There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 507 Didn't Take Advantage (Part [-])
Because of this incident, Grand Master Mu was impeached by his courtiers.
It is said that Mu Dashi is not strict in running the family and conniving at his grandson's misbehavior.

Empress Dowager Wei pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Ji Chang, who followed, looked at Li Jiaoniang with admiration, and thought that this Li Jiaoniang was indeed not simple, and could even answer the queen mother's questions fluently.

And she's just a peasant woman...

A peasant woman never panics or panics when she meets the Queen Mother. This calmness is truly astonishing.

Zhao Gui took a step forward and took the opportunity to say, "The situation at that time was very dangerous. The young master of the Mu family wanted to intimidate Cong'er, but those people changed their minds temporarily and changed to assassination. If it weren't for Mrs. Li, her husband and several A buddy to help, I'm afraid Cong'er..."

He sighed, and said with a look of fear, "In short, Lady Li is Cong'er's adoptive mother in name, but she is actually the one who secretly protects him."

Empress Wu shook her head lightly, and looked at Zhao Cong, "Pu'an, you child, don't be so reckless next time. It's dangerous to visit incognito alone. In case you meet bad people... Do you think the Empress Dowager really wants to Blame you and Mrs. Li? She is worried about you."

Li Jiaoniang gently pulled the corner of her lower lip.

Worry?

She didn't see that there was a trace of worry on Queen Mother Wei's face.

Empress Dowager Wei coughed lightly, "Okay, let's forget about this matter, let's not make another example."

Things reversed.

If he treated Li Jiaoniang harshly and scolded Li Jiaoniang again, it would appear that he was too cold-blooded towards Zhao Cong.

Empress Dowager Wei does not want to be impeached by her courtiers.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Everyone nodded and replied.

Empress Dowager Wei raised her hand, pointed to the chair in front of her and said to Li Jiaoniang, Zhao Gui and Zhao Cong, "Sit down, and tell me about Pu'an's situation in Yuezhou City."

Sitting and talking, the atmosphere is much more active.

Although Queen Mother Wei's next questions were still tricky, none of them stumped Li Jiaoniang.

She answered every question fluently.

Even several times, Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Wu were stumped by Li Jiaoniang's rhetorical question.

While talking, Empress Dowager Wei didn't want to talk to Li Jiaoniang anymore.

Didn't take advantage of it.

Empress Dowager Wei reached out and rubbed her temples, "I'm tired, so please leave first."

Everyone got up and said goodbye.

After Li Jiaoniang, Zhao Cong, Zhao Gui brothers, and Ji Chang all left, Empress Dowager Wei immediately asked Empress Wu, "After half a year, seeing Pu'an again, do you have any thoughts?"

Empress Wu smiled slightly, "Oh, he has grown a lot taller, he looks like an adult."

"Hmph, I mean his ability. Compared with Enping, is he behind or has he improved?" Queen Mother Wei said in a deep voice.

When the Empress Dowager Wei returned from the Kingdom of Jin, the first people to greet her were the family members of the family of Enping County King Zhao Jiu's father.

After that, her palace was rebuilt, and the money spent was also given by Zhao Jiu's own father.

When it was determined that Gaozong was infertile and all the courtiers advised Gaozong to accept the son of the clan as an adopted son, Empress Dowager Wei immediately recommended Zhao Jiu.

Although Zhao Cong, who was recommended by his courtiers, first entered the palace, Gaozong favored Zhao Jiu because of Empress Dowager Wei's guarantor.

Empress Wu was able to sit on the queen's position thanks to Empress Dowager Wei, so Empress Wu immediately adopted Zhao Jiu as her adopted son.

Now Empress Dowager Wei took out two princes for comparison, Empress Wu understood that Empress Dowager Wei did not want Zhao Cong to be better than Zhao Jiu.

Otherwise, the crown prince would belong to Zhao Cong.

Neither the Empress Dowager Wei nor Gaozong had the right to decide who to be the crown prince, and the decision was in the hands of the courtiers.

And the courtiers choose people with strong abilities.

Empress Wu immediately withdrew her leisurely expression, and said worriedly, "I can't tell whether she is strong or weak, but her words and deeds are much better than half a year ago. She looks like an adult."

Empress Dowager Wei pursed her lips, and said in a deep voice, "At the palace banquet tonight, I will announce that the two princes will have a formal competition. Enping must not lose!"

Empress Wu replied seriously, "My daughter-in-law knows, please rest assured, the queen mother, my daughter-in-law will do her best to help Enping become the crown prince."

After all the people left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager Wei looked at the stove in the palace and sighed endlessly.

The nanny who was serving closely asked, "Empress Dowager, it's New Year's Eve, the two princes have returned to the palace, and the officials will also prepare a lively palace banquet. You should be happy, why are you still sighing?"

"The Ai family and the official family want Enping to be the crown prince, but the court officials want Pu'an to be the crown prince. But look at Pu'an's body!" Queen Mother Wei snorted, "Last year At that time, he was sick three times, but Enping never fell ill. With such a body, how can he be a prince?"

Mammy didn't know how to reply, but only echoed, "Yes, yes."

"In short, the Ai family will not agree to Pu'an being the prince." Empress Dowager Wei said in a deep voice.

……

After meeting Gaozong and Queen Mother Wei, Empress Wu, Li Jiaoniang had to leave the palace.

The palace banquet was at dusk, and it was only halfway through the morning, so it was still early.

No one in the palace kept her, so she could only leave the palace.

Zhao Cong has returned to Lin'an, and he can no longer play as he likes in Yuezhou City.

He had to restore the prince's work and rest schedule.

Zhao Cong sent Li Jiaoniang to the archway at the entrance and exit of the palace, and said apologetically, "Mother, I have to stay in the palace to accompany the officials and manage affairs, so I don't have time to send mother back. However, my brother will send mother to Li's residence safely. Yes, mother, you can rest assured."

Zhao Gui also said, "Yes, Mrs. Li can rest assured."

Li Jiaoniang said, "I have nothing to worry about. The Son of Heaven's feet are peaceful. But you, Cong Er, take care of yourself. There are many rules in the palace. Be careful and don't be caught by others."

Zhao Cong nodded, "Cong'er understands."

Li Jiaoniang said to Huzi again, "From now on, you are Cong'er's personal attendant, wherever he goes, wherever you go, you have to protect him carefully."

Zhao Cong was Hu Zi's lifesaver, Hu Zi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Miss Li, I will protect Xiao Cong well."

"It's disrespectful to be called Prince Pu'an, or His Royal Highness, in front of other people." Li Jiaoniang said with a sullen face.

Huzi stuck out his tongue, "Yes, I've made a note, I will definitely listen to His Highness the Duke."

Zhao Cong laughed.

Li Jiaoniang lifted her robe, and gave the gray fur ball to Zhao Cong, "It is a spirit beast, from now on, I will give it to you, and it will help you."

The gray curly ball immediately exploded, "I don't want him!"

Li Jiaoniang said with a dark face, "He is richer than me, he can give you whatever you want to eat, but you, I can hardly support you with me. I eat sugar every day, how can I have so much money to buy it?"

The gray curly ball was afraid of Li Jiaoniang, Li Jiaoniang yelled, and immediately became honest.

Zhao Gui was surprised, "This little thing looks really interesting."

"You're the fucking interesting one, idiot!" Gray Curly Ball bared its teeth.

Zhao Gui: "..."

Zhao Cong smiled slightly, pinched its ears, "Let's go, eat some delicious food." He waved to Li Jiaoniang.

Li Jiaoniang also waved her hand and got into the carriage.

Zhao Gui saw them off in a sedan chair.

When their carriage and sedan chair had gone far away, Zhao Cong sighed slightly and nodded to Huzi, "Let's go, let's go to the royal study of the official's house."

Huzi asked in surprise, "What are you doing there? What kind of place is that?"

"That's where the government handles the government. As his son, I have to help manage the government." Zhao Cong said.

Huzi sighed, "You've worked really hard."

He originally wanted to say that those who celebrate the Chinese New Year are not allowed to rest?
Being a prince is not free.

But thinking of Li Jiaoniang's reminder, he didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of causing trouble to Zhao Cong.

……

Li Jiaoniang's carriage was stopped by a woman as soon as it entered the main road.

Standing in front of the carriage, she nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Li, I am from the Hengyang Duke's mansion. By order of our wife, I come to invite Madam Li to speak at the mansion."

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Zhao Gui picked up the curtain curiously to have a look.

I saw Mrs. Hengyang's maid standing in front of Li Jiaoniang's carriage and talking.

When Li Jiaoniang heard Mrs. Hengyang's name, she quickly turned her head to look.

This maid was just beside Mrs. Hengyang.

She smiled slightly, "I am not familiar with Madam Hengyang, why did Madam invite you?"

This Mrs. Hengyang is really strange, Li Jiaoniang thought to herself.

The maid said, "Miss Li doesn't know something. Our wife and the King of Pu'an are close relatives. Lady Li takes care of the King of Pu'an, and our wife wants to express my gratitude."

next of kin?

grateful?

Why do you always look so weird?

Li Jiaoniang couldn't figure it out.

But Mrs. Hengyang is Mrs. Yipin, and her husband is the Duke of the state.

The Duke of Hengyang is the clan of the Zhao family, and he has a lot more status than Mrs. Lu, the wife of the Duke of Chu, who has no fief and is just a fictitious name.

I can't afford to offend him, I can't hide from him, so I have to obey.

Li Jiaoniang had no choice but to say, "It's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Just go to the housewife."
