Chapter 68 Rewards
Li Lijun followed Shen Jiang to the main hall in the front yard of the Sui Palace. The angel from Xingqing Palace was waiting here. Since the imperial concubine's decree was specifically given to her, she had to be present.
As soon as Li Lijun entered the door and saw the angel who came to deliver the message, she recognized him.
That person was none other than Xiao Gao Lishi, whom Chen was familiar with during his lifetime. His real name was Zhao Dalang, and he was the eldest son of Chen Weng's former business partner.
When the Zhao family came to Chang'an for business, they encountered a misfortune and their family was destroyed. In order to save his family, Zhao Dalang did not hesitate to enter the palace and work as a chamberlain, but he only saved the lives of his mother and younger siblings. After hearing the news, Chen Weng rushed to Chang'an sick and allowed the Zhao family to leave.
Difficulty, return to normal life. Chen Weng ran Zhao Chenji in Chang'an, distributed dividends to the Zhao family on a quarterly basis, and helped them settle down and buy property in Xianyang. Even Zhao Dalang, who was in the palace, was able to successfully worship thanks to his funding.
He made Gao Lishi his adoptive father and gradually established a firm foothold in the imperial court.
And Chen Weng relied on this network to successfully deliver the fabrics produced by his own company to the nobles in the palace, and made a name for himself.
Now Chen Weng has passed away long ago, but Zhao Dalang, also known as Xiao Gao Lishi, has already forged a close friendship with the Chen family. He had already received the news about Chen's death, but he had no choice but to move freely, and he did not find the opportunity until today
, went out of the palace to worship in the name of errand.
Li Lijun has met little Gao Lishi many times since she was a child. Mrs. Chen also told her in private that she can call him uncle, but just don't call him uncle in public. Little Gao Lishi is also very kind to her. Whenever she wants to give her something
He would give something to his nephews and nieces who were born from a pair of younger siblings. The nephews and nieces would definitely prepare a share for Li Lijun, just like she was also a junior in his own family.
With such a relationship, when Li Lijun saw little Gao Lishi, whom she had not seen for many years, she immediately felt a sense of intimacy. Without saying anything, she felt aggrieved and wanted to hold the other person and cry.
It was a pity that the occasion was not right, so she had to meet the angel according to the etiquette and accepted the order obediently along with her relatives and elders.
Concubine Yang's order was actually specially formulated after hearing about the public case between the younger Yang family and the Yang Shuo siblings. The purpose was to appease the victims who had been hurt by the siblings, that is, Chen's family.
Although Li Dai is also the master of suffering, he is the heir of the clan, and it is not convenient for the imperial concubine to deal with him, so she only mentions Li Lijun.
The imperial concubine first mentioned the ridiculous things Xiao Yang and Yang Shuo had done, saying that she had no knowledge of it, and was very angry that such a scum had appeared among her siblings, which had tarnished Hongnong Yang's face. She had already summoned the brothers and sisters to belong to
The female head of the house—actually Mrs. Yang—went into the palace to inquire and found out that they intended to report to the clan and remove these two people. She was very pleased. On Yang Shuo's side, the imperial concubine had already asked the saint to order Jing Zhao
Yin Yilu dealt with it. As a female dependent of the Queen's Palace of the clan, Xiao Yang should also be handled by Zongzheng Temple according to law. But when the imperial concubine heard the news of her disappearance, she was deeply shocked and ordered the Sui Palace to find her whereabouts as soon as possible. Zongzheng Temple also
People will be sent to pursue the case, catch the person as soon as possible, and punish him properly. She comforted Li Lijun and said that the prisoner will be brought to justice so that the innocent soul can rest in peace.
After saying this, the rest of the imperial concubine's decree was basically a list of things to be rewarded to Li Lijun - all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, and rare musical instruments, enough to make her rich overnight. After the rewards, the imperial concubine
I also did not forget to advise Li Lijun not to be too sad and to take care of her health, so I ended this decree.
After Little Gao Lishi read the decree, he asked people to open twenty or thirty boxes of various sizes containing rewards and showed them to Li Lijun. It was a dazzling array of jewels. Almost all the second-fang family present looked at it with straight eyes. Only
Jin Ruren was able to hold on, and quietly woke up his son and daughter-in-law, telling them not to make a fool of themselves in front of the angel.
Li Lijun glanced at the boxes calmly, knowing that this was probably the "compensation" given to her by the imperial concubine, and it could also be regarded as "hush money." After she accepted it, she could no longer talk about what Xiao Yang had done outside.
The incident affected the reputation of the Yang family. Thinking that this was obtained with the life of her mother, Chen, Li Lijun felt disgusted and wanted to turn around and leave.
However, before she could make any move, Li Dai spoke first: "I feel so unworthy of the imperial concubine's grace. These things have nothing to do with the imperial concubine at all. They are all Yang Yuying's fault. Although her whereabouts are unknown now, she will be found sooner or later.
There will be a day when she will be punished. The noble concubine must not be angry because of her. If her body is ill, I will feel uneasy!"
That's called flattery.
Li Lijun stared at Li Dai's back. Princess Dou stretched out her hand to hold her shoulders and whispered: "Don't be angry, the prince doesn't want to offend the palace. You go back to the mourning hall. I will arrange for little Gao Lishi to come to pay homage later. You
If you want to say something to him, just say it, but it will only take you a cup of tea at most."
Li Lijun calmed down, looked up at her, and saw King Sui nodding towards her, she bowed silently and exited the room, ignoring how Li Dai was trying to please the palace envoys and how her second uncle's family was trying to flatter her.
She waited in the mourning hall for almost two-quarters of an hour before welcoming little Gao Lishi. At this time, he had finished greeting the Sui king's family, and his entourage had retreated to the front yard to prepare to return to the palace. On the pretext of "checking the car," he could
You should not stay in the mourning hall for more than a quarter of an hour.
Princess Dou has already asked people to clear the place.
Li Lijun saw that there was no one behind Xiao Gao Lishi, so she hurriedly greeted him, opened her mouth and called "uncle", and her tears fell first.
Little Gao Lishi also had red circles under his eyes, touched her head, and carefully looked at the remaining scars on her forehead: "Good boy, you have suffered. I should have found a way to get out of the palace to see you."
Li Lijun shook her head, not mentioning that her scars were left intentionally, and handed some sticks of incense to little Gao Lishi: "Don't worry, I'm fine now. The enemy's crimes have been exposed to the world, and my mother's resentment has disappeared. You are here
It’s not easy to do your job before the emperor, so don’t worry about us.”
Little Gao Lishi sighed, took the incense, and went to worship in front of the spirit.
The last time he met his sister Chen Minzhi was during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He was ordered by the saint to come to the Sui Palace to deliver the festival rewards. At that time, he met his sister Chen Minzhi and exchanged a few words in a hurry. Unexpectedly, they said goodbye forever. Thinking of the two of them.
He couldn't help but feel sad about their relationship with each other since they were young, and Chen Shishu's kindness to their Zhao family. Chen Shishu now only has Li Lijun's bloodline left, and he must protect her well no matter what!
Time was limited. After paying homage to his deceased sister, little Gao Lishi did not hesitate and asked Li Lijun carefully: "I heard that Yang Yuying's daughter almost hurt your life and has something to do with me. What's going on?
?”
Li Lijun briefly talked about how she was in danger on the garden rockery that day. As for Li Yanjun’s original intention, she actually still can’t figure it out: “They mother and daughter actually want to coax me to ask you for help and intercede for little Yang in front of the saint. Okay.
Let her right herself. How did you come up with such a ridiculous idea?!"
Little Gao Lishi was thoughtful.
Seeing this, Li Lijun hurriedly asked: "Does uncle have an idea?"
Little Gao Lishi paused: "I can't say. Logically speaking, others should not know about His Highness King Zou's plan. Could it be that someone leaked the news?"
"Prince Zou?" Li Lijun was surprised, "Can this matter be related to his old man? The gangster who killed my mother was caught by the old prince!"
"The old prince misses his old friendship the most." Little Gao Lishi sighed, "He is old and sick, and has few heirs. He has been worried about having no heirs. Recently, he is thinking about how to make the old girl in the mansion a concubine so that he can take care of his family.
The eldest grandson is paving the way!"
