atypical prostitute

Chapter 154 Plan ahead
Li Ci doesn't believe that fate is predestined by nature, but the coincidence of things has come to this point, and seeing that Duan Qing'er and Liu Erlang are indeed in love, it is inconvenient for her to say anything doubtful, showing that she has no measure.

Immediately ordered the nanny to take Xiaoqi down, and signaled to the servants to add two more stoves and bring cakes, and when the room was full of spring and fragrant, she slowly said: "This matter, Mrs. What means?"

Liu Erlang sighed, and said: "If it wasn't for my mother's disapproval, how could I bring Qing'er to your side late at night?"

Indeed, no matter how lonely the lady of the Lu family is, she is a daughter-in-law after all. If the husband really wants to take a lowly woman as his concubine, what can she do if she is looking for a life and death, she will have to compromise in the end, and maybe she will get a reputation of being jealous.

But Mrs. Wei Guogong is different.She is Liu Erlang's biological mother, the dignified wife of the Duke, and the Xie Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, she disagreed, even if Liu Erlang brought this matter to the imperial court, he had to compromise.

After all, taking a concubine is a family matter, and it is something that needs to be consulted with parents.

Li Ci was not surprised that Mrs. Wei Guogong refused to let Qing'er enter.

It would be a shame and humiliation for a high-ranking family to accept a lowly woman as an entry, not to mention that she brought a bottle of oil!

What a shame!

Thinking of this, Li Ci looked at Duan Qing'er again, and said, "Madam Wei, I will think of a way, but I don't know what your plan is now?"

"Of course Tangtang has just started, so Qing'er can't be wronged!"

"I don't want to embarrass Erlang, I would rather be a concubine!"

The two rushed to answer, which surprised Li Ci a bit.

She couldn't help but observe Duan Qing'er, she is not a top-notch beauty, but her features are graceful, graceful and affectionate, and she has a soft temperament that makes people love her. It is no wonder that Liu Erlang has a deep affection for her, knowing that she is already a mother and wants to marry her.

In fact, why should I drink these dry vinegar?
Since you can't promise Liu Erlang, let the past go with the wind, be generous, and let him and Duan Qing'er be fulfilled.

She has already done too much to Liu Erlang, she shouldn't have delayed his right to happiness.

Thinking of this, Li Ci's heart suddenly cleared up. Looking at Duan Qing'er again, because there was no resentment and jealousy, she also felt that she was really lovely.While assigning the steward to tidy up the west wing, while calmly talking to Liu Erlang about some trivial matters after the farewell, Li Ci asked Bai Yinmei to take some hairpins from her dressing box and present them to Duan Qing'er as an early congratulatory gift.Duan Qing'er was already ashamed of herself in front of Li Ci, but after receiving this valuable reward, she became more humble and low-key, and only carefully accepted it after thanking her several times.

They talked for a while, and the manager came to report that the west wing room had been tidied up, so they each took their leave and went back to their room to rest.

……

……

On the second day, when the snow was light and the sun was clear, the plum blossoms on Qiongzhi were in full bloom, so red that it was frightening.

Li Ci got up early in the morning, finished grooming, tied her hair in a bun, put on plain makeup, and picked out an elegant dress, wrapped in a fur coat made of the fur of the Northeast White Bear King, with only Bai Yinmei and You Nu The confidant, through the corridors, walked to the small lake of Weiming, across a pool of ice, kowtowed three times to the pavilion in the center of the lake.

The unnamed lake, the unnamed pavilion, and the depths of the cold water are the tombs of Changsha kings.

But the cause of this incident was Zhan Yifan's loyalty.

Three years ago, he was powerless and could only take advantage of the chaos of the broken city to take out the clothes of King Changsha, protect him day and night, and travel to many places. Finally, he was buried in the Wuming Pavilion after Lici entered the Ye family. There is peace in the depths of the clear water.

Li Ci's feelings for King Changsha are also very complicated. He is the father of this body, and he has never been with her for a day, but in the end he gave up the fight for her.

He is a passionate seed who sacrificed all his ambitions for an unworthy woman.

Sad and ridiculous.

Thinking of the sad place, Li Ci couldn't help but sigh.

Behind him, the man's steady steps sounded.

There is no need to look back, Li Ci also knows who is coming.

When her steps stopped, she said loudly: "General Zhan, I have something to ask you, but I don't know if you are willing to answer truthfully."

"Young master just give orders, and a certain one will do."

Zhan Yifan spoke forcefully. Li Ci knew that he sold his life to the King of Changsha and was utterly loyal to her, so he didn't dare to underestimate her. He turned around and looked at the burly man kneeling on one knee ten steps away. Gentlely said: "There is a saying that men should marry when they are college students and women should marry when they are college students. General Zhan is in his forties now, but is there a woman he likes? If there is one you like, no matter what your status is, I will fetch it for you."

Zhan Yifan didn't expect that Li Ci's solemn appointment was for such a trivial matter, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "When Zhan was young, he spent some time in Pingkang, and there was a friend at that time Yes, her name is Chunniu, and I hit it off very well. It's a pity that this happened more than ten years ago, and I think Chunniu has already become a good person and has a good home."

There was a bit of bleakness between the words.

"Chun girl, I'll make a note of it."

Li Ci said softly, Zhan Yifan had her promise, and his face was still as steel, showing no joy or excitement.

Li Ci knew that this man had a stable mind and could not be moved by just a few words, but she didn't let him come here to solve the lifelong affairs of her subordinates.

She paced slowly in front of her, and Zhan Yifan followed slowly, always keeping a distance of ten steps.

Walking to a secluded place, Li Ci stopped, sighed, and said: "Recently, the situation in the capital is stable, but I always have an ominous premonition. Youdao is to plan ahead, which is better than Linyuan Xianyu. When the dust in the palace is settled , you and your new wife will go to the eldest princess's fief to live forever."

"Young master—why is this!"

Hearing this, Zhan Yifan was excited, he questioned fiercely, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes.

"If you feel that my stay in the capital will be a hindrance to the young master, the young master will bluntly say yes, and I will be loyal to the young master with my life. No matter how the young master treats me, I will not have the slightest resentment."

Abandoned because of a misunderstanding, his words were sonorous and forceful, and his knuckles were crackling.

You Nu was originally a swordsman, sensing his displeasure at this moment, she leaned slightly to protect Li Ci, but Li Ci paced forward indifferently, spared You Nu, and walked to a place within Zhan Yifan's reach. Said: "General Zhan, you have been with my father for many years. You should know that the situation in the world has always been that the tougher the fist, the greater the truth. Even the ethics of historians and the righteousness of scholars may be distorted in the face of absolute power. .If... three years ago, my father's power was strong enough to keep the throne, then he would be the Lord of Destiny, and Xiao Zhiqian would be the rebellious minister and traitor. It's a pity..."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, her fingertips stroking the silver thread moiré on the moonlight double brocade cuff, tears flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, right now I am indeed majestic and have everything. But these possessions of mine are not real possessions. My honor and power are castles in the air, without real strength to support me. The King Yan and his wife are naturally very good to me, But if one day I go to the opposite side of power with them, they will kill me without mercy. The Ye family... Ye Chuan may protect me, but the Ye family may not be willing to protect me..."

She spoke word by word, even a little tired between words.

"Outsiders see me as a beautiful person. In fact, I can really believe it with all my heart. Only you, You Nu, and A Mei. I have to plan ahead. I only think of the benefits of fists when I can't be put on my neck. !"

"The young master means—"

Zhan Yifan understood Li Ci's hint, his breathing became short of breath, and excitement appeared on his calm face.

Li Ci smiled softly, and said: "General Zhan has a heavy responsibility, so you must act cautiously."

"Fighting someone must fulfill the mission!"

As Zhan Yifan spoke sonorously, Li Ci nodded in satisfaction.

This arrangement for Zhan Yifan to leave the capital has two uses for Li Ci.

On the one hand, she does realize that she has too little power that belongs only to herself, and needs Zhan Yifan to train a team for her.

On the other hand, it is also to ease the sight of the palace.

Zhan Yifan was really too eye-catching in the capital.

Even if Ye Chuan deliberately concealed it and the eldest princess corroborated it, it still couldn't conceal the relationship between Zhan Yifan and King Changsha.

Xiao Zhiqian is naturally aware of this, but he always suspects that Li Ci already knows his life experience, so he deliberately makes an exception and keeps Zhan Yifan behind.

Hard to catch?

So the existence of Zhan Yifan is very difficult for her.

It's neither staying nor killing, the only way to send someone to the eldest princess in the name of righteousness is to send him to the eldest princess. From then on, disasters will come to an end. Fan and Liang Wang have an affair.

It's just that these schemes are a bit sorry for Zhan Yifan.

Li Ci was thinking guiltily, and suddenly asked behind him, "It's just that I left the capital, and if I encounter any danger, I don't know who can protect the young master?"

Li Ci knew that Zhan Yifan was worried about his own safety. Hearing this, he glanced at the pouting Bai Yinmei, and said, "Amei won't let bad people get close to me. What's more, I still maintain a delicate relationship with the one in the palace. Even if it’s just to check and balance King Liang, he won’t play tricks on me. As for other people...as long as they don’t want me to die today, those small tricks will naturally not get close to me. The capital, after all, wants face, Ye The face of the family, the face of the Fu family... the face of the Tian family, which one is not as heavy as Mount Tai?"

Hearing this, Zhan Yifan finally understood.

In many things, harmony on the surface is not real harmony, and disputes on the surface are not real disputes.

After all, the young master's position in Jinshang's heart is unusual. As long as he can guard that sliver of affection and measure it just right, he doesn't have to worry about the possibility of assassination for the time being.

The greatest danger comes after the birth of the heir to the Xiao family.

So you must start playing chess now, and spread your power step by step to deal with the ever-changing future.

Who says women are short-sighted and can't see the big picture? !
When a woman jumps out of the confines of the backyard and stands at the height of the world overlooking the common people, she will not lose to anyone!

Thinking of how the young master is so unyielding, Zhan Yifan suddenly felt his blood surging: Xiao Zhiqian, don't be arrogant, even though the young master is a daughter, he can still have a good fight with you using the world as a game of chess!
The outcome is still uncertain!
