Chapter 74 Preparation
The fourth lady wanted to go out in person to find a suitable cemetery for the concubine. The news soon spread within the Sui Palace.
As long as King Sui thinks that there is no problem with anything that Princess Dou nods to approve, no one will reject it. Although King Sui thinks that his granddaughter is too young to do such hard work, Princess Dou came up with what Li Lijun mentioned.
With a few reasons, it didn't take much effort to convince him. Anyway, Li Lijun always needs to bring a full entourage when traveling. Just send a few more reliable guards and stewards. The lady does not need to worry about specific general affairs, just treat the child as going out.
Just relax and relax.
King Sui knew in his heart that it was not very kind for him to accept his son Li Dai's suggestion to bury his eldest daughter-in-law early. But he really wanted to get back on good terms with his emperor brother and return to the harmonious and friendly relationship of the past.
His son's words still make sense. He had better not go against the wishes of the emperor's favorite concubine. He felt guilty about his eldest daughter-in-law and his granddaughter, and he was happy to indulge his granddaughter in some trivial matters.
As for the location of his daughter-in-law's cemetery, in fact, his subordinate officials had already selected several places together with the eunuchs, but things were too many and complicated before, so he didn't have time to make a decision. Now I just tell him these locations.
As for the granddaughter, it's up to her to choose. Whether it's near Qiaoling or choose another place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, it's up to her. She doesn't have to start from scratch to find a place, and the little granddaughter will have less trouble.
He also personally selected the accompanying personal guards for Li Lijun. The leader was named Ding Wulang. He was none other than the one who discovered the white shadow climbing over the wall during the patrol. When others said it was haunted, he followed it to the end.
, it turned out that Duizheng, who discovered the whereabouts of Yang Shuo. Although he had made great contributions that day, his superiors were worried that the heir king might regret it after losing his concubine and thought Ding Wulang was too meddlesome. In order to protect this subordinate,
The superior found an opportunity to transfer him to another position and tried to have as little contact with the king as possible. The king of Sui felt that Ding Wulang was loyal to his duties and admired him very much for his perseverance and integrity.
Seeing that his granddaughter needed someone, he simply sent Ding Wulang to her. Anyway, the Yang family was now facing Chen's daughter. When they met, they were three points shorter than before. It was too late to hide, let alone attack her.
What did the person do.
When Li Lijun saw Ding Wulang and found out his identity, she felt a little strange. She had taken advantage of this man that day. Although it had not had any bad influence on him so far, if he came to work with her in the future, she would always
When it was time to make up for the other party, she greeted Ding Wulang very kindly, explained the purpose of her trip and preliminary plan, and asked the other party to arrange the escort work, and she would try her best to cooperate.
Ding Wulang has never suspected that the Fourth Lady of the Sui Palace had taken advantage of him. He still does not think that he met a ghost that night. Instead, because of the mysterious disappearance of the little Yang family, he began to suspect that there might be some unknown master here.
.Since there are such masters doing things in the Sui Palace, the Fourth Lady has to travel, and of course she must pay attention to safety issues. He solemnly accepted the task, and promised the Fourth Lady that he would do his best to protect her, and immediately after retreating,
I started to think about the arrangement of carriages and horses.
The heir king, Li Dai, has never shown his face. Although he thinks that his younger daughter is troublesome, his father, King Sui, has nodded, so there is no need for him to stop him. Besides, if the younger daughter comes to take care of the affairs of his step-mother, no matter what she does,
Good or bad, you can't blame him again later. He was happy and relaxed, just instructing his stewards to send his little daughter enough money and silk for her expenses.
So that night, Li Lijun received several large carts of gold and silver money and cloth, as well as spices, incense and other items sent by her father. In addition, there was a list of forty strong slaves to prepare for her to use when building her mother's cemetery.
Li Lijun accepted her father's kindness with an expressionless face. As long as Li Dai did not interfere with her actions, she was still willing to act out a show of harmony between the plastic father and daughter.
However, Li Dai only gave money to others, but was indifferent to his daughter's actions. He seemed to really leave the burial of his deceased wife to the children, but many people criticized him. Not only Jin Ruren and his second wife, but also the third wife
The third uncle expressed his dissatisfaction to King Sui and Princess Dou successively. Even the female relatives of Ning, Xue and other princes came to inquire about the details. Everyone talked about Li Dai and said that he was very shameless. In the past, everyone
It was only because his favored concubine was arrogant that he had the delusion to murder his wife. Now everyone is beginning to think that it was actually his favored concubine that destroyed his wife, and that was why he allowed evil concubines like Xiao Yang to be born.
Some people also heard about the news that he had met two girls from the Yang family recently, and suspected that the Yang family was setting up a beauty trap. Even if the Chen family died, they would not let it go, insisting on overpowering Li Dai's former concubine.
To gain momentum for the newcomers, he also took the opportunity to take revenge on the misfortune of Xiao Yang and Yang Shuo.
Because of such discussions, two aristocratic families who had originally planned to succeed Sui Wang as his concubine quietly backed away. Now that the Yang family is gaining power, and they are determined to win the position of Li Dai's successor, why bother to offend his family?
Besides, Li Dai, who was unkind and unrighteous, was not a good candidate for a son-in-law.
Li Dai didn't think much about this, he just thought it was the Yang family who had driven away his competitors, and he was a little unhappy.
Several brothers-in-law of the Yang family have now lowered their dignity and no longer said that he killed little Yang. They seemed to have acquiesced that they were the ones who rescued the person. They started to use the children to make the case again.
, advised him to remarry a daughter of the Yang family, so as to ensure that the children born to his previous wives and concubines would not be harassed by their step-brothers.
This sounds reasonable, but Li Dai has heard it so many times that his ears are beginning to get calluses. He feels that although the Chen family he remarried has many shortcomings, he has never treated his first wife and concubines unfairly.
The children of the Yang family he brought back may have nice words, but they may not really protect their nephews. The brothers-in-law only said these things for their own benefit, which may not really make sense.
.
Besides, if the Yang family really wanted to apologize to him, why didn't they quietly send little Yang back to him? Even if they set up a separate hospital outside and let him go there to relax from time to time! They kept silent about little Yang.
He just didn't want to expose how many people they bribed in the Sui Palace to steal people out. They were still planning to plot against his heirs and the throne in the future. Li Dai didn't intend to be fooled. Anyway, he listened to their good words.
That's it. He still has to follow his own wishes when choosing his third wife.
Li Dai made excuses with the Yang family every day, and flirted with the Yang family's daughter. He actually left his wife's funeral affairs to his younger daughter to take care of, while he ignored it. When people around him heard about it, they all murmured in private.
Li Lijun didn't care either. The preparations for her trip were almost complete. After asking King Sui and Princess Dou for instructions, she planned to leave the next morning. The burial place would be determined as soon as possible so that she could send her mother to her grave.
At night, she once again took stock of the things she needed to bring when she went out. When she turned around, she saw two nuns, Cui and Lu, standing in front of her, full of worries.
The two nuns were a little confused: "The lady's grievances have been redressed, and the imperial concubine has also issued an order to punish the little Yang family. Why did the prince and the heir still let the lady be buried early? The lady didn't complain a word, she was so obedient.
Did you do it?"
Li Lijun smiled: "My mother is already gone, why do I have to keep her inactive for such a long time? Is that more decent? But I think my mother may want to be quiet more, right? Aye is already ready to marry a new man, why bother to let her rest again?"
Staying at home and watching? It’s better to stay out of sight.”
The nuns' eyes turned red when they heard this. After thinking about it, they all felt that what the young lady said was reasonable, so they said no more.
Chapter completed!
