Dozens of brothers and sisters in the hall all turned to look at Li Tengkong, with various emotions in their eyes.

After leaving the lobby, the cool morning breeze blew, making people's eyes sting.

Li Tengkong walked alone through the corridor and entered the main room. She was very worried, worried that Li Linfu would call her "Yang Taizhen" again.

However, Li Linfu, who was sitting there, looked clearer, but his face looked older and tired.

"Grandpa."

"I understand." Li Linfu said slowly: "A saint must be able to do three things when he is a prime minister."

He has actually regained his consciousness. The confusion in his memory last night may just be accidental.

"Talent is one. You must be good at taxation and satisfy the saint's banquets; you must be able to serve the saint's will. The saint is tired of the pedantry and rigidity when scholars govern the country; and you must be able to check and balance the East Palace so that the saint can enjoy the feast with peace of mind. Lishan

Don’t worry about becoming the emperor when you take a bath in hot springs.”

These words were disrespectful. It was the first time for Li Tengkong to hear her grandfather speak like this, and she couldn't help but worry about whether he was sober.

Li Linfu said: "Zhang Bian cannot do these three things. Zhang Bian is different from his father. Zhang Bian is authoritative and domineering, while Zhang Bian became a prince-in-law at a young age. He has a slow personality and is good at dancing with long sleeves. He cannot be like his true self. He can be like this."

The sage is completely satisfied with the prime minister."

"In this case, Grandpa can rest assured." Li Tengkong said, "My daughter will ask someone to bring some breakfast."

"Xue Bai knows this, but still wants to support Zhang Bian? It's just a blind eye. On the surface, he is assisting Zhang Bian, but in fact, he is cultivating party members to assist King Qing. The reason why he was calm last night was because he had guessed it early.

It’s the saint’s will.”

Li Linfu talked to himself until the end, and then said: "Go and tell Xue Bai that I will use Zahu's marriage to Li Heng to replace Zahu."

"Master, can I allow my daughter to check her pulse?"

"Father, I have nothing to do. Go, go now."

Li Tengkong was still a little worried, but seeing that his grandfather had recovered from his illness, he had no choice but to resign.

…

"The phase will not be lost."

Li Linfu murmured to himself, and his expression gradually relaxed.

But he actually couldn't completely convince himself. For a moment, worry appeared in his eyes.

"Is it true that the phase will not be lost?"

He closed his eyes and thought.

After a while, Li Xiu and several brothers came over and called in a low voice: "Master, the officials are all here."

Seeing that Li Linfu didn't answer, Li Xiu came closer.

The next moment, Li Linfu opened his eyes, stared at him, and shouted: "What are you doing here?!"

"My child knows his fault."

"Pei Kuan?"

Li Xiu was stunned, looked around, and realized that Li Linfu was indeed referring to him.

"Grandpa, I am Juro..."

"Pei Kuan is close to me because he wants to replace me." Li Linfu was furious and shouted: "Why don't you drag Pei Kuan down?!"

"Grandpa, look, I am Juro."

"Drag Pei Kuan down!"

Li Yu immediately held Li Xiu down and refused to let him come forward to explain, and ordered someone to come and drag him out.

"Master, don't be angry, Pei Kuan dragged him away."

"No one can replace the true self." Li Linfu muttered to himself, suddenly looked at Li Yu, and shouted angrily: "Chen Xilie, don't be the true self. I don't know what you are thinking?!"

~~

Xue Zhai.

Li Tengkong couldn't find any other excuse to come, so she had to say that she dropped a hairpin when she came to the banquet yesterday, even though she never wore hairpins.

She was welcomed to the front hall and sat down. She watched along the way and saw that the festive decorations in the house had not yet been taken down, and the servants and maids had also received awards, and they were beaming with joy.

"Take space."

Yong'er rushed over from the back hall, bowed hastily and said, "Madam, please take the time to come inside and talk."

Li Tengkong went to Yan Zhai to meet Yan Yan before, and indeed he often went to her boudoir to talk, but now the situation is obviously different.

"Is this... inappropriate?"

"My wife slept late last night. She felt a little uncomfortable when she woke up this morning. She has been lying in bed. I would like to ask someone to take a pulse."

Li Tengkong couldn't help but think of what Li Shiniang asked her, "Are you jealous?", and felt a little sad in his heart.

Her grandpa was narrow-minded, so she had been careful not to learn to be jealous, but today he had to come to the home of a newlywed couple. Even if he was aloof, this would be a great test for his Taoist heart.

"Xue Lang...are you here?"

"Mr. Lang has already gone out in the morning."

Li Tengkong then followed into the main room, walked around the screen, and saw Yan Yan half-leaning on the couch, reading a story.

She was always looking at Yan Yan's expression unconsciously, trying to get some clues about what was going on between her and Xue Bai, but at the same time she knew she shouldn't care about it.

"Here, let me feel your pulse."

"Take the time, let me tell you." Yan Yan asked her to sit down on the couch and whispered in her ear: "I'm not uncomfortable, but after I get married, no one can discipline me. I want to

I wanted to try staying in bed, so I lied to Yonger and said I felt uncomfortable."

Li Tengkong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Yan Yan silently, thinking that he must be a little envious. He didn't have to worry about anything, and he married Xue Bai easily.

Just as she was thinking about it, Yan Yan took her hand and whispered: "I have always wanted to tell you something. You treated me, but I..."

Li Tengkong smiled and said softly: "It's okay, I won't say anything anymore."

She knew what Yan Yan wanted to say, but she couldn't marry Xue Bai with or without Yan Yan.

"Why are you unhappy?"

"There is something going on at home." Li Tengkong asked, "What story are you reading?"

"I bought it from Dongshi. Someone is continuing to write "Journey to the West". I just started reading it too. Let's watch it together."

"good."

Li Tengkong thought about waiting for Xue Bai to come back and tell her those words. From now on, she would no longer get involved in those mundane things. She was too tired to pay attention to the intrigues.

Listening to Yan Yan whispering stories, Li Tengkong fell asleep unconsciously.

Beneath her body was a brand new silk quilt, thick and soft, and she slept deeply.

…

When he woke up again, it was already evening and Yan Yan had fallen asleep. Li Tengkong looked at her tender face and felt more and more envious. Suddenly, he heard Yong'er outside the door call "Mr."

She quickly stood up, lifted the quilt, and saw Xue Bai standing there.

The two looked at each other and were stunned for a long time.

~~

Three days later, Xue Bai took Yan Yan back home.

When they went out, they saw that the courtyard next door was being renovated. It was originally vacant, but now the owner must have returned or sold it.

"When I have time, I have to visit the neighbors, right?" Yan Yan asked, "The first time you came to my house was when you first moved to Changshoufang."

Xue Bai glanced at Mrs. Guo's mansion to the east and said, "It's okay not to visit."

The couple got on the carriage and horse and went all the way to Yanzhai in Dunhuafang.

Yan Yan never showed any emotion when she was at Xue Zhai, but this time when she came home, she couldn't help but hug Wei Yun, and Ms. Cui burst into tears.

Yan Kai wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how. He scratched his head and finally said, "Sister, stop crying. My mother is about to give birth to a younger brother or younger sister."

"You kid, you don't know what to say." Wei Yundang even gave his son a lesson.

But at least Yan Yan didn't cry anymore.

Xue Bai and Yan Zhenqing didn't pay much attention to the manners of these children. After chatting for a while, they went to the study to talk.

"Congratulations, husband-in-law."

Yan Zhenqing waved his hand, not wanting to talk about personal matters, but said: "Is it your idea that Zhang Bian recommends me to succeed Wang Wei?"

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "I originally thought that Mr. Mojie could be appointed as the official of Zhongshushe, but it's a pity that fate has played a trick on him."

"The so-called 'no merit will not be received'." Yan Zhenqing looked a little serious and said: "I haven't made any achievements in my tenure as Yuan Wai Lang. I was moved because of my clinging relationship. It was bad for the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty."

This is the biggest difference between him and Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others. Yan Zhenqing is not pedantic, but when considering problems, he always puts personal interests after the country and the country.

Xue Bai said: "The official system of the Tang Dynasty has long been broken, but my father-in-law should be promoted as soon as possible and seek the position of prime minister."
