Chapter 694 He is talking nonsense (1)
"Your Majesty, why don't you beg the Emperor? You and your servants can all see that the Emperor is very fond of your Majesty. This time, your Majesty is being implicated by the Second Young Master. As long as your Majesty asks, the Emperor will definitely be soft-hearted."
How can the empress endure the concubine becoming a concubine? The people in the palace are the most powerful people. Seeing the empress being punished, they don't know how to treat her.
Xiaoyu supported Concubine Yao who looked a little lost and said softly.
"Oh!"
Concubine Yao walked slowly, her body relaxed, and she no longer held her head as usual.
"Now that I am being treated like this, this is the best result I can ask for. I am still the lord of the first palace, and I can still call myself this palace. Please? More favors? Xiaoyu, you haven't read it yet.
Do you understand? The emperor has no love, and pampering you is nothing more than a whim or a weighing of needs. Let's go, go back and pack up and move to the Ziluo Palace. Although it is a little off, the scenery is not bad. The emperor just said
Didn’t you also say that I like peace and quiet in Ziluo Palace, and I should like it, so we have to move here with gratitude and don’t cry in sorrow."
"Empress!"
Xiaoyu held up Concubine Yao with tears in her eyes, feeling sorry for her master for speaking so contemptuously of herself.
"Okay, it's just a temporary stay. I won't give up easily. One day, what I lost will come back."
But you need to plan carefully, you can't act too hastily, you must be calmer than before.
Hearing that Concubine Yao still had fighting spirit, Xiaoyu cheered up a little, but she was suspicious in her heart. It was difficult to climb up in this harem, and it was even harder to climb up after being demoted.
"Fortunately, the Empress has the Li family behind her." As long as the Li family is here, the situation in the palace will not be too miserable for the Empress. She is just subject to some cynicism, and she just doesn't go out much recently. Out of sight is out of mind.
It was okay not to mention the Li family, but when it came to the Li family, Concubine Yao's mood became worse and worse, but she hid it very well.
If the Li family was willing to help her, there would be no need for her to compromise so much and have to plead guilty to save herself.
From now on, she has no backer and has to rely on herself for everything.
"Madam, this time the second young master was sent to serve in Mobei. I heard that Mobei is a desolate place and it's far away. I'm afraid it's rare to come back from this trip. I'm afraid my wife won't be able to bear it."
Everyone knows that the second young master is the one the wife loves the most. The second young master is sweet-tongued and the best at making the wife happy.
"I can't control it anymore. If it weren't for him, why would I be like this? My parents are capable, so let's think of a way for ourselves. It's still possible to save his life. Xiaoyu, during this period, the Li family didn't see anyone if they asked for something... haha
, don’t worry about these anymore, look at me, I actually forgot that I am no longer a noble concubine, just a concubine. When people from the family come to visit the palace, they must ask the queen, or the queen or the emperor’s permission before they can see her, hahaha, that’s fine.
, that’s fine, it’s really too much to worry about. From now on, we masters and servants can be as pure as we want.”
Concubine Yao laughed at herself. Only she knew whether she was laughing in her heart.
There were thousands of other people's sorrows, but Chuxue had a dreamless sleep and a sweet sleep.
The spring breeze is silent but caressing slowly.
"Shao Jin was punished to serve in Mobei, and Concubine Yao was demoted to a concubine. Our Li family also suffered a heavy blow this time."
When the news reached the Li family, the atmosphere in the Li family suddenly became extremely depressed.
Especially Dafang, Mrs. Dafang kept crying and wanted to wear her royal uniform to plead for her son, but Li Jianshu stopped her.
After hearing this, Li Fengnian seemed a little weak and walked to Li Shunshui's study without knowing it.
Li Shunshui put down the book with a calm look on his face, not even the slightest bit surprised, and stepped forward to pour a glass of water for Li Fengnian.
"Master, use tea."
"Of all the people in the house, I'm afraid you are the calmest one. After all..." After all, he is not a member of the Li family and would not feel the same way. Li Fengnian stopped his words in time.
Li Shunshui smiled helplessly in his heart. He knew what the old man was going to say. If he was really a bystander, he would just act out the anxious drama with him, and he would not try to persuade the old man to give him a cold impression.
"Old man, the second young master was punished. If you think about it carefully, does he deserve it? No matter how stupid the second young master is, he should know that one hundred thousand taels is not a small amount of silver, and he also knows that others will not give it to him for no reason, but he chooses to pretend to be stupid.
He collected it privately, without even informing the uncle. He had never thought about the Li family behind him. I heard that he had spent seven or eight hundred thousand taels. How long had it been? It is said that a country is easy to change and a nature is hard to change.
, that is, to protect the second young master. Failure to do so will lead to greater disasters in the future. People's courage grows little by little, and the old man can get a glimpse of it by looking at what the eldest son of the Li family has done in the past few years."
After Li Shunshui poured the tea, he sat down and said slowly.
Li Fengnian was holding the tea with a slight embarrassment on his face. The children of the Li family were not up to par, and he, the head of the Li family, was also disgraced. No matter which house he belonged to, he was a member of the Li family.
"Okay, he deserves it and should be taught a lesson. What about Concubine Yao? Do you know how difficult it is to be promoted in the harem? From a noble concubine to a concubine, it will not be easy to make a comeback in the future."
When it comes to Concubine Yao, Li Fengnian feels very uncomfortable. It is so easy to have a concubine. With her intelligence and talent, she may be able to go further in the future. That would be the greatest honor of the Li family.
Now he doesn't know whether he should listen to Li Shunshui and make such a decision.
"This time, the empress is just demoted from a noble concubine to a concubine, which is the best result so far. Old man, have you ever carefully thought about the current emperor? Is he a king who will be influenced by the women in the harem? If so, there is nothing here
Man, forgive Shunshui for having the guts to say something treasonous, but if the emperor is really such a person, he is definitely not the one sitting on the throne now."
"you!!!"
Li Fengnian was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He was so shocked that he stood up and looked around. Even if he didn't see anyone else, his heart was still beating hard, "You don't want your life. How dare you say such things? You are so bold." He was clearly seeking death, and he had to
After dragging him along, dragging along the entire Li family, Li Fengnian suddenly wondered whether he would be allowed to take part in the Spring Examination. If he had such courage, he would not be able to cause much trouble when he entered the court in the future.
He didn't say much, but he was so frightened that he couldn't even leave his house.
"The old man is frightened. There is no one at the moment. Shunshui dared to speak. I just want the old man to understand one thing. Today, there will be no favors. When dealing with the harem, there is only a balance. In this case, the empress will be punished.
, are you really just being implicated by the second young master? I heard that Baili Yongkang was poisoned to death during the interrogation of the Ministry of Justice! Who did the old man think it was? Thinking about it again, the empress will become a concubine from a noble concubine, really
Is it heavy?"
I was so frightened just now that I didn't recover, but now I was almost frightened to death.
"You... do you know what you are talking about? You dare to talk nonsense without evidence. Who are you trying to kill?!"
Li Fengnian was shocked and shouted harshly at the top of his voice.
"If there was evidence, how could it be the current situation? The old man should be glad that there is no evidence, but...paper can't stop the fire after all. The Li family may use this matter as an excuse to rectify the family tradition and temporarily draw a clear line with the empress.
At least from now on, the emperor still trusts the Li family. Old man, if you take a closer look at this matter, except for the empress and the second young master, has the Li family really been affected? If you vent your anger, just a word of bad family tradition can be ruined.
The future of the children of the Li family depends on the fact that no more children of the Li family will participate in the spring exam tomorrow."
