atypical prostitute

Chapter 152
Yuan Hao has always promised a thousand dollars, since he nodded and is willing to preside over the construction of low-rent housing for Ye Chuan, he naturally doesn't have to worry about rebirth.On the contrary, how to smoothly introduce the old man into the court has become a trouble in the hearts of Ye Chuan and Li Ci.

Although Ye Chuan is quite favored at the moment, the monarch's favor has a limit after all, it doesn't mean that he can promote whoever he wants?What's more, all the ministries and households are sure that he can't find someone with status and qualifications to preside over the project, so they open the door to him. If they know that he has the full support of Mr. Yuan Hao, there will be twists and turns.

Therefore, even though he had already made a promise with Yuan Hao, Ye Chuan was still anxious all day long, moaning and sighing when he saw people.Li Ci's side is uncharacteristically, publicizing the construction of the Songhe Tower as a matter presided over by Master Yuanhao, and ostentatiously transporting strange stones and trees in like flowing water every day, as if wishing that the whole capital would know that Shaohou and Mr. Yuanhao were successful. An irresistible acquaintance.

This is a tactic of suspicion.

The capital is full of old foxes, if Li Ci invited Mr. Yuan Hao to preside over the construction of the Songhe Tower but kept it secret, they would inevitably suspect that Yuan Hao had reached a secret agreement with Ye Chuan and his wife.But she made such a big show, but convinced these suspicious old men that Ye Chuan and his wife had the intention to win Mr. Yuan Hao over, and the more they swaggered, the more they proved that the old man hadn't nodded yet.

It's just that although these old things are full of waiting to see the jokes of Ye Chuan and his wife, they still have to cater to them on the surface.

After all, Mrs. Shaohou is doing business. Even though the matter of low-rent housing has become a political enemy, the slippery veterans still greet the progress of the garden in harmony every day. The new work expressed high expectations.

There is no knot in the world that cannot be untied. If you kill each other in the court, and you can drink and talk happily after the court is over, this is the highest state of being in the court.

After all, attitudes are always one moment and another moment, and it is better to resolve enemies than to end them!
……

……

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the snow begins to fall in the evening. Nanyuan, where the earth dragon was burned, is filled with the faint warmth evaporating from the golden incense burner. Li Ci sits in the center, and the servants stand on both sides holding their breath. Huang Guanshi stands at the bottom, cadenced read the ledger.Li Ci listened absent-mindedly, but what he was thinking about was the recent turbulent waves in the backyard.

Ayu is indeed a troublemaker, and Mr. Lang's dissatisfaction has just improved, and then because of the negligence of the servant girl in the middle of the night, he caught the wind and cold again, so he was sputtering and crying like rain, making the whole backyard restless.Although Li Ci has seen many difficult and difficult people, this is the first time he has met someone like her who is honest and honest but sheds tears when she says it, and is cunning and unparalleled.

It's just that the more times children are used as shields, the effect will fade.In the beginning, the whole backyard was scheming and scheming because of the wind and grass in Bishayuan, but after a few times, everyone knew: Although this gentleman's surname is Ye, he is not Ye Ziyun's. This is Shaohou's Mansion, and he lives in Nanyuan The one who is the orthodox mistress.Miss Ayu's name is not right and her speech is not good, but she dares to be shy and dictate her in the backyard of Ye's family?
Even Ye Chuan, who was crying at the door from time to time because of the child's discomfort from Ayu, gradually showed an attitude of indifference, but it was Li Ci who comforted him many times.

But even in such a field, Ayu still refused to mention the matter of moving out. Even if Ye Chuan showed his intentions a little bit, Lang Jun's illness would get worse along with him.

The limited affection is being wasted by A Yu without knowing how to measure. Li Ci sees it, but she is happy to be a good person: the more Ye Chuan is dissatisfied with A Yu, the more polite Li Ci is to A Yu. Send people out!
Ayu's affairs are in such a stalemate, although it is troublesome, it will become clear sooner or later, but it is the court, which makes Li Ci helpless and even more powerless.

After this year, she also vaguely grasped Xiao Zhiqian's thoughts.He is a strong monarch, because he is too strong, so he does not allow incompetent people to stay.Even though because of some special feelings, he looked at the Ye family differently, but if Ye Chuan could not gain a firm foothold in the imperial court by his own strength, Xiao Zhiqian would lose his intention of cultivating him and set him up as a general, not a king. Hou's great talent.

Now that Yuan Hao has nodded, the next thing depends on Ye Chuan's own luck.

But I don't know how Xiao Zhiqian would feel if he knew the role I played in the low-rent housing issue?
Thinking of her pride, Li Ci couldn't help but smile.

Bai Yinmei saw that her smile was full of preoccupations, just at this time Guanshi Huang had finished reading a book, so he waved his hand and ordered Guanshi Huang to take the servants who were serving him to step back for a while, and then lowered the bead curtain to look left and right, making sure that there was no one in the secret , then stepped forward and said: "Why is Si Niangzi suddenly laughing?"

"It's nothing more than laughing at Ayu for lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot."

Li Ci said casually, Bai Yinmei pouted and said, "You really enjoy the right and wrong in the backyard."

Li Ci smiled and said: "I know you don't like the backyard. I think the women in the backyard are narrow-minded and fight hard for the short-term favor of men. I don't like wasting my youth and time on these trivial things. But even if I dismiss it , They have found the door, but they can't ignore it. People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. What's more, the backyard is the shackles imposed on women by the world."

This is Li Ci's heartfelt words. No woman is born willing to share her husband with others, but this society has been silently instilling the rationale of monogamy and multiple concubines. Women are sealed behind high walls and can only see the four corners of the wall. Sky.As a result, women's horizons and minds are getting smaller and smaller, and they are becoming more and more obedient.

Li Ci added: "Men always feel that women shouldn't think too much, and you are the only one who complains because I'm preoccupied with things in the backyard."

Bai Yinmei smiled shyly, and said: "Because I never think that women are inferior to men. The Li Ci I like is a perfect person with the beauty of women and the charm of men, but without the self-willedness of men and the short-sightedness of women. If You are like others, you can only see the gains and losses in the backyard, and it is impossible for me to like you."

"A Mei is getting better at talking."

Li Ci said pretending not to care, she really didn't care about gains and losses in the backyard, but she was a woman after all, even if she didn't care, she wouldn't take Ayu's provocations seriously, and Bai Yinmei couldn't understand these things .

Thinking of helplessness, Li Ci changed the subject.

"Actually, the things in the backyard can't make me worry. Now that the end of the year is approaching, Master Yuan finally nodded, and the dust of my cousin's Huangmen servant has also been settled. It is reasonable to say that everything is going well, and there is only the east wind. But for some reason, I have been in a state of mind recently. I was restless, feeling like something was about to happen.”

"This--"

Seeing the melancholy on her pretty face, Bai Yinmei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The current court situation seems to be calm, but in fact, the tide is raging. Ye Chuan is busy working on low-rent housing, running around every day, and the wind in the harem has also begun to change strangely.

Dozens of noblewomen from famous families have brought their daughters into the palace to meet the queen.

Although Empress Ye did not show any clear favoritism, and everyone who attended the audience received a reward that was not thick or thin, but who did not raise a few ears in the palace among the women in the capital? After a few more glances, whoever was lucky enough to meet a saint in the imperial garden... These details were all clearly sorted out by them.

Li Ci was also worried.

Ye Wurong accelerated the pace of concubine selection, which means that her health is getting worse and worse. Although the Ye family has a special meaning to Xiao Zhiqian, and Xiao Zhiqian is not an absurd emperor who wastes political affairs for women, but—whose wife is going smoothly? Enter the palace and give birth to an heir to the Xiao family, whoever may become the protagonist of the court in the next 20 years!
The affairs of the harem, leading the court, women's stomachs, determine the overall situation of the world.

Li Ci knew that Ye Wurong was smart and unparalleled, and would not let the daughter of the Ye family's political enemy enter the palace. Even if she was neutral, she would definitely cut off all edges and corners after entering the palace. .But people change after all, even if you are submissive now, you may become an enemy ten years later.

There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers, and the kneeling of hundreds of thousands of subjects is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Therefore, no matter who enters the palace, it is not a good thing for the Ye family.

Unless the Ye family doesn't mind Ye Wurong's indifference to Jun's kindness in the future.

Bai Yinmei's subordinates have sharp eyes and ears, and they also know that the whole capital is ready to move about the imperial city, so they can't help but comfort him: "Fourth lady, don't worry too much, Empress Ye is a strange woman in the world, she will definitely choose a girl for the Ye family. Appropriate."

"Maybe what you said is true, but I can't believe it. Countless people have said that he will be steadfast and unwavering, but in the end they all changed, and they can speak out the words of persistence just because they haven't Taste the true taste of power. People cannot stop the corruption of power."

Li Ci said bitterly, she knew she shouldn't think too much, the future is never uncertain, thinking too much will only make her life too painful.

Bai Yinmei also knew this truth, but he didn't like what Li Ci said, and said: "Si Niangzi wants to do so much, no matter how many tricks she has, she can't compare with her fist. Whoever has a big fist will have the most reason." Big. Instead of worrying about the uncertain future, it is better to improve your own strength. If the future little emperor and empress dowager know how to measure, then it is enough to be humble to the Ye family. The superior, don’t you have it?”

"Amei!"

Li Ci sternly scolded, coercing the emperor to order the princes is indeed the highest level of a powerful minister, but most powerful ministers have no good ending.What's more, Ye Chuan's ambition is to help the monarch's name to go down in history, not to be a powerful minister, holding the monarch's abolition and establishment in his hands.

Seeing Li Ci's stern expression, Bai Yinmei also said embarrassingly: "Si Niangzi, I know I was wrong."

Li Ci glanced at him, and said: "Don't say this a second time in front of me, walls have ears, if it spreads, it will be bad for everyone."

Bai Yinmei lowered her head and said: "I won't say it, I just keep it in my heart, and I won't tell anyone."

It's actually a disagreement between the face and the heart.

Li Ci immediately understood that the child's hatred for the Xiao family had reached its peak, and he could not get the heart to vent, turning distortion into strength.

But she can only watch like this, she has her own burden, she can't put the entire Fu family and the entire Ye family on fire.

What's more, her body is also from the Xiao family, even if she doesn't admit it, there is still Xiao's blood flowing in her body.

She bears the legacy of King Changsha on her back.

She must proceed with caution.

He also talked to Bai Yinmei about some insignificant things. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Ci wanted to take a rest, and was about to call Nanny La to come in to serve her. Suddenly, the window was blown by the cold wind, which made the bead curtains jingle, and Li Ci Ci raised his head, but there was a steward standing outside the bead curtain, saying: "Young madam, Mr. Liu Jialang is asking to see you late at night."

"Cousin?—No see! No, just say that I've fallen asleep, what's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Without thinking about it, Li Ci refused, but she didn't expect the cold wind to intensify. She raised her head and saw Liu Erlang was in front of the door, with a woman wrapped in fur beside her.

"Four ladies."

　Sunny is here again, hahahahaha
