Chapter 41: Venting
Now Princess Dou couldn't sit still.
She really didn't expect that the Changshi of the Prince's Palace would actually collude with the Yang family! Fortunately for her, she was related to Mrs. Changshi, who often came to please her, and considered the couple as her own people who could be won over.
.Although she has not yet regarded them as confidants, she will not avoid Mrs. Chang Shi for some matters that are not very confidential, and she has even complained about her family members in front of her.
Princess Dou looked back and recalled that she had fallen into Li Dai's schemes several times, lost face in front of others, and even had quarrels with some members of the Dou family. She felt that Mr. and Mrs. Chang Shi might have leaked information behind their backs! She actually
She had never doubted them. She thought it was because there were too many Li Dai's eyes and ears in Prince Sui's palace, and even her courtyard was not clean. She changed the attendants serving in the main courtyard twice, which made Prince Sui unhappy.
I thought she was nosy, so I took my eldest grandson to live in the front yard.
The root cause turned out to be Wangfu Changshi and his wife!
Princess Dou remembered that she had given some instructions to Mrs. Chang Shi yesterday, asking her to ask Chang Shi to deal with the Chen family. She immediately stood up. She suspected that the couple might be causing trouble in secret, and she really didn't want to deal with the Chen family.
Enmity. After all, the Chen family is the in-laws of the Sui Dynasty and Li Lijun's maternal family. The relationship is too tense, and the little granddaughter will also be in trouble in the future.
So she immediately ordered Shen Jiang, Lady Shao, Er Hong and others to take Li Lijun back to the Garden Water Pavilion.
Li Lijun did not want to go back. She wanted to go back to the mourning hall to chant sutras for her mother Chen, but Princess Dou refused: "You have been out for a long time today, you are tired. The days are long, and your mother also hopes that you will recover from your injuries as soon as possible, so why rush
For a moment? Just go back today and come back tomorrow, otherwise when the day of the funeral comes, how can your little body withstand the long journey?!"
After saying that, she forcefully ordered Er Hong to carry Li Lijun on his back, and personally watched the group of them enter the second gate.
Li Lijun had no choice but to give up her resistance.
When Li Lijun was carried back to the Water Pavilion by Er Hong, she washed her hands, changed her clothes, and settled down on the couch again, Grandma Cui came back with several women.
They followed Li Lijun to the mourning hall in front of them today. They each had errands and were not always in front of their little master. Whenever they were alone, someone would always come to them privately to inquire about something. Just this afternoon,
Several groups of people came into contact with them, including the princess of Jiyin County and several royal ladies, Li Lijun's second uncle Li Jiu's biological mother Jin Ruren and his wife Huang, and the wet nurse Cang Niangzi of the eldest son Li Jianrang.
Aunt Cui and others had already received instructions from Li Lijun, so they naturally knew how to reveal the inside story to them and what tone to use to reveal it. So far, the effect is quite good, and no one has doubted their statement for the time being.
The princess of Jiyin County and others were mainly concerned about Li Lijun's health and situation. Knowing that she was now recuperating peacefully in the garden, they felt relieved. However, they noticed that she looked bad and was very sad in front of the spirit of her deceased mother, so they asked Aunt Cui
They wanted to take good care of their little master and give them more comfort. As for Li Dai's handling of the injury to his little daughter, some of them couldn't stand it and complained a few times, but after all, this was a family matter of the Sui Palace.
If they don't speak, they can't say much.
However, staying with them to listen to the news was a county princess who had a deep friendship with Xiao Yang. After hearing what Aunt Cui said, her face did not look good. In the past, she could blow Li Yanjun with her eyes closed, but now she can't even
She no longer had the courage to say that her child's family was ignorant. In her opinion, Li Yanjun should be cut into pieces if he attacked his legitimate daughter. However, Xiao Yang did not stop her daughter and even took the initiative to cover up the aftermath for her.
Even more stupid!
The royal concubine is already dead. No matter whether Xiao Yang wants to straighten things out or not, there is no need to have trouble with the daughter Chen left behind. Instead, she should pay more attention to this child so that both King Sui and Li Dai can see how virtuous and kind she is.
, worthy of the honor of a concubine, is what a noble lady of the clan should do. If Xiao Yang wants to plan a successor for his son, there is no need to make decisions about her husband's daughter, but she should focus on her eldest son Li Jian.
Yes! The things she did were vicious and stupid. She didn't get any benefit at all. Instead, she got her own daughter involved, which could harm her own son at any time. Being friends with such a person simply lowers the standard of her family!
The princess turned around and left in a hurry without even listening to what she said. After she left, several princesses and their wives whispered, saying that the former went to Mrs. Qin's house to visit her sick yesterday and mentioned Xiao Yang in passing.
She was currently facing troubles, but the other party dismissed her very coldly, and also thought it was too unlucky for her to come to the house just after leaving the bereaved family.
The princess of the county lowered her stature and hung out with the little Yang family for a long time, flattering the little Yang family as a concubine. The purpose was just to use her clan sister relationship with Mrs. Qin to get into the imperial concubine for her own benefit.
She never expected that the close relationship that Xiao Yang claimed to have with Mrs. Qin would be so fragile. The latter did not have much sisterly affection for her at all. Instead, the princess of the county was despised by a foreign relative as a noble lady of the clan.
present.
The princess, who had suffered such a great injustice, felt even more uncomfortable when she heard about the great achievements of the little Yang family in the Sui palace. Did she make the little Yang family play tricks? Did she make this bunch of sisters-in-law see a joke?!
She left angrily, but the Princess of Jiyin County and others couldn't help but lament that she had gone the wrong way and wasted her efforts. In fact, if she wanted to ask the Yang sisters to do something, she would have to flatter her a little more and give her a big gift.
, ordinary things, the Yang sisters have no reason not to agree. This does not require little Yang to pull the strings, but she has made herself take a big detour, and she still doesn’t know what the final result will be.
After saying this, Aunt Cui recited the Buddha's name: "This princess has often been in trouble with our lady in the past. If she comes less often to our Sui Prince's Mansion in the future, my lady will be able to enjoy a few more days of peace and quiet."
!”
Li Lijun was thoughtful. It seems that as Xiao Yang can no longer accompany Mrs. Qin to flatter her because of her filial piety, her relationship with the latter will become increasingly alienated. Those noble ladies who once surrounded her will
They would also neglect her. Xiao Yang's mourning should be worn for at least a year. This year is enough to do many things.
Aunt Cui mentioned Jin Ruren and Huang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again.
Jin Ruren was the concubine of King Sui. She came from an official family. After giving birth to Li Jiu, King Sui gave her the title of Ruren of the fifth rank. There were few people in the Queen of Sui's backyard, so she was already the most distinguished one besides the principal concubine.
She is only one, and she usually acts cautiously and does not like to make trouble, so the two concubines of the Sui Dynasty tolerated her. She did not get along well with her daughter-in-law Huang, and they often quarreled, had a little temper, etc., and got into trouble.
On the contrary, they acted in unison to the outside world. Regarding the information they learned from Li Lijun's mother-in-law, they did not express any opinions, they just rewarded them with money and left.
Li Jianrang's wet nurse asked very detailed questions, asking some questions over and over again. She would also ask different people to ask the same questions, and then compare everyone's answers. If it hadn't been for Grandma Cui who had already asked her subordinates to prepare drafts in advance.
, I was afraid that I might have said the wrong thing accidentally. Fortunately, they finally managed to fool this lady.
Li Lijun thought of how this young lady used to be in charge of Li Jianrang's side, and secretly wondered if she might be the loyal servant of the Yang family who reported to Mrs. Yang?
Thinking of the kindness shown by Princess Dou today, Li Lijun decided to reciprocate the kindness. She called Aunt Cui closer and lowered her voice and asked: "Everyone did a good job today. Next...if anyone comes to you to inquire, just do what I say.
Do it." She whispered her thoughts.
