Chapter 125 The Irritated Villain’s Beloved (19)
Liu Xuanzhi was well-known in the capital, and Liu Yuanqing was often troubled by his son's marriage.
Because their daughter is the only one favored, many aristocratic daughters in the capital avoid the Liu family.
Liu Yuanqing did not pay much attention to his abnormal attitude. On the contrary, he often held banquets in the name of his daughter and secretly made blind dates for his son.
Now that her daughter has entered the palace as a concubine, the banquets in Shangshu Mansion are attended by fewer and fewer people. Mrs. Liu usually does not make friends with others, so she gradually stops hosting them.
Without the chance to choose a wife for his son, Liu Yuanqing had to put aside his thoughts for the time being.
"Humph, if his sister is like this, how can he be any better as a brother?" Liu Shufei sneered.
With Xiao Meiren's temperament, if she really entered the Liu family, she would be bullied by Liu Ru'er. I heard that Mrs. Liu had a bad temper and often scolded her servants. Liu Ru'er imitated her mother and had no idea how to attack the palace servants.
Severity.
Wiping away the sweat with a handkerchief, Xiao Meiren covered her chest, feeling lucky to have survived the disaster.
"Sister, Bai Qingzhi has now broken off her engagement with the Liu family, which is much better than coming to propose marriage. No matter how powerful Liu Xuanzhi is, he is only a mortal body. If he falls in love with someone he doesn't love, sister said, will he violate the family arrangements and fight against the family?
?Fighting his sister?"
The joy of succeeding in her plan is clearly reflected on Xiao Meiren's face.
It was as if the scene of Liu Xuanzhi being scolded and repenting for Bai Qingzhi was happening right in front of his eyes.
The Yuan Kingdom does not require concubines, and they are not allowed to return to their parents' home to visit relatives.
In addition, Concubine Liu Shu had a higher status than Xiao Meiren. She said that she would go home to visit relatives. The emperor not only agreed, but also rewarded Concubine Liu with many good things and asked her to take them back to her parents' home.
The emperor gave this reward to Concubine Liu Shu, which gave her great confidence.
Everyone in the harem thought they could wait for the emperor's favor, but little did they know that the emperor had not gone anywhere except the imperial study.
Even the most favored concubine in the harem would be blocked by Eunuch Ye when she went to the entrance of the royal study.
Everyone thought that the trend in the harem was about to change, and then a pair of chariots and horses escorted Concubine Liu Shu out of the palace, and the discussion escalated again.
Bai Qingzhi can know the news in the palace immediately without any spy.
"System, this Concubine Liu Shu, is it good or bad?"
[It is currently unknown. Her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He is in charge of the selection of officials, awards, and examinations. To put it simply, the Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments and is involved in all major and minor affairs in the court.
The imperial examinations, selections, assessments, and transfers that the host is familiar with are all managed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Liu Yong, the father of Concubine Liu Shu, was an upright man. Although his daughter was a concubine, he never used it for his own benefit]
Because of this, Liu Yong was reused. Although the emperor loved Liu Ru'er, he would not miss Concubine Liu Shu's monthly salary and silver reward.
"Having a strong mother's family can indeed gain a firm foothold in the harem." Bai Qingzhi sighed.
If I could get to know Concubine Liu Shu, given her family background and her forbearing temperament over the years, I believe she could become a very good friend of Bai Qingzhi.
The interests are intertwined, and Bai Qingzhi can do more if she is not in the harem.
They had someone they wanted to get rid of in common, so it was not surprising that they shook hands and had sex.
On the second day after Concubine Liu Shu left the palace, Bai Qingzhi received an invitation from the Liu family.
"System, you said it was too obvious to invite only me, so they invited daughters from other mansions as cover. Is that what you meant?"
[Absolutely, host, in addition to the daughter of aristocratic families, many unmarried young men in the capital will also go, including Liu Ruer's biological brother]
Liu Xuanzhi? Bai Qingzhi remembers this person and now serves as the chief minister of Dali Temple.
The minister of the Dali Temple is the chief, followed by the left and right Shaoqing, followed by the left and right ministers.
Liu Xuanzhi was able to become the Prime Minister of Dali Temple at a young age, and his personal abilities were extraordinary.
[The host needs to remind you that this Liu Xuanzhi was born to his ex-wife. His mother died in childbirth while giving birth to him. Liu Ruer’s mother, who is now Mrs. Liu, is Xu Xian]
According to the regulations of Yuan State, concubines cannot be rehabilitated.
If the main wife dies or is abandoned, the man cannot support the concubines. The main wife must be selected from other women from other families, or he must no longer marry a wife.
Liu Yuanqing's current wife only has Liu Ru'er and Liu Xuanji, who are twins and look almost exactly the same.
Liu Xuanji had already made a marriage contract when he was young, so the concubines born from other concubines were naturally not treated seriously.
As an elder brother, Liu Xuanzhi has the responsibility of an eldest brother. Even if he doesn't want to, he has to accept the post.
Liu Yong knew that his daughter was extremely intelligent, so he held a spring banquet in his wife's name and summoned ladies from famous families in the capital.
Bai Qingzhi went there for Concubine Liu Shu, and took the invitation from Concubine Liu Shu. Liu Xuanzhi was asked to come by her stepmother, and took the invitation from Concubine Liu.
Different invitations will lead the maids to different courtyards, and Bai Qingzhi was naturally invited to Liu Shufei's courtyard.
As a married daughter, Mrs. Liu kept her daughter's boudoir before she got married and asked people to clean it every day. When her daughter went home to visit relatives, she naturally lived in the former courtyard.
"Hey, it turns out this is Sister Qingzhi. Her birth and origin are so marked that it's really hard to recognize her."
Holding Bai Qingzhi's hand enthusiastically, Liu Shufei signaled the maids to step aside and pulled Bai Qingzhi towards the house.
Bai Qingzhi was completely passive and followed Liu Shufei's footsteps obediently.
Does she know the purpose of her visit today? Bai Qingzhi has some doubts, is Liu Shufei a prophet, or is she also a systematic person?
[Probably not, I think she just wants to take advantage of you. Of course, you are not bad either]
Bai Qingzhi wanted to take advantage of Liu Shufei and make a deal with her, but who would have expected that Liu Shufei had the same idea.
After the time of burning incense, the maid knocked on the door three times to alert the two people in the room.
"Good sister, is it settled like this?"
Bai Qingzhi nodded and saw Concubine Liu Shu pulling out the hairpin from her head and inserting it into Bai Qingzhi's bun.
The hanging tassel touched her ears, which hurt a little, but Bai Qingzhi was very happy.
If she could have met Liu Shufei earlier, maybe Liu Ruer would not be so proud.
The two people who lacked help met and hit it off immediately. Bai Qingzhi got Liu Shufei's permission and told her many stories about Wei Jiayu.
As the heroine, Liu Ru'er only takes away Wei Jiayu's identity as Bai Yueguang, but cannot take away Wei Jiayu's standard role as the heroine.
A wealthy nobleman with outstanding appearance and talents.
Liu Ru'er has it all, but she can't reach the peak of Wei Jiayu.
"Fakes are fakes after all. If Your Majesty really cares about noble Wei, are you really willing to hand over her body to the imperial concubine for disposal?" Concubine Liu Shu couldn't figure it out. If it was like what Bai Qingzhi said, noble Wei should enter the imperial mausoleum.
Concubine Liu Shu’s doubts were also systematic doubts.
Bai Qingzhi held a different view, "You said His Majesty hid a portrait of a nobleman from Wei?"
"Yes." Concubine Liu Shu was certain that she had seen it with her own eyes.
Bai Qingzhi continued to ask, "But hidden in a place where ordinary people cannot touch?"
"In the Imperial Study Room, if I hadn't accidentally spilled the soup that day and was changing clothes inside, His Majesty would not allow the concubines to stay in the Imperial Study Room on weekdays. Even the imperial concubines are only allowed to stay in the outer room. The inner room is where His Majesty takes a rest."
On weekdays, when he was busy with official duties, the emperor would sleep in the imperial study.
Wei Jiayu's portrait is hidden in a secret compartment in the inner room that is rarely discovered.
