[Read the full text without errors and first release novel, 69 Book Bar-www., your best choice!]

The next morning, she was about to enter the palace. Mrs. Guo specially customized more than 30 sets of various clothes for Li Weiyang in Longxingji, the most luxurious silk shop in the capital. Although the construction period was tight, the Guo family was willing to spend money and was a big customer who could not afford to offend. The people of Longxingji did not dare to neglect, so they quickly cut materials and embroidered them. Fifty first-class female masters worked day and night, and finally delivered them before entering the palace. The clothes were tightly placed and were extremely exquisite. When they opened from the box, they were filled with clouds in the room, which shattered everyone's eyes.

Although Li Weiyang was prepared for a long time, he was shocked: "Mom, don't have to be so much." From the time he arrived at Guo's house, Mrs. Guo always said that the girl's house was not well dressed, so she brought her many brightly colored dresses. Li Weiyang had to refuse at first, but Guo Cheng told her that these clothes were prepared by Mrs. Guo over the years, and what she sent was just a drop in the ocean, because every year Mrs. Guo had to make clothes for "Guo Jia", three, five, ten, fifteen... and eighteen years old... they all chose the most fashionable styles and colors among the ladies back then.

Later, when Li Weiyang entered the mansion, Mrs. Guo changed her clothes for nearly two years according to her figure and remade them a batch of new ones to deliver them together. Not only did she fill the rows of wardrobes, but she also specially freed up seven or eight mahogany wardrobe boxes, each of which contained about twenty pieces, including single, leather, cotton, and fur. So this time, in order to enter the palace, Mrs. Guo didn't think about it and ordered someone to make clothes, which really scared Li Weiyang.

"Who said no? Haven't you seen those ladies compete with each other? Can my daughter of the Guo family lose to them? Humph, she's a petty family." Mrs. Guo thought of the daughter of the Pei family who had nostrils facing the sky last time, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Li Weiyang laughed: "They are them, I am me, why bother with them?"

Mrs. Guo disagreed and said, "If my daughter is compared by these eyesightless people, I can't even eat!" As she said that, she picked up a bright rose-red dress and compared it on Li Weiyang. Li Weiyang took a look and felt silent. The color seemed to be too bright. She had never worn such a bright color since she was a child.

"It's neither beautiful nor beautiful. Nowadays, girls in any family wear this way, both festive and noble. From a distance, it looks like a flower floating over." Mrs. Guo frowned and immediately guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile.

Li Weiyang was helpless. After hearing her words, she put on the clothes, but she felt that they were too beautiful no matter how she looked. Mrs. Guo just ignored her and put a layer of transparent plain gauze on the outside of her skirt, but said in her mouth: "I like this color the most, but unfortunately I can't wear it when I'm old. Ordinary girls want to wear it, but they can't suppress it at all. It's just right when you wear it, you're young and pretty, and don't look frivolous at all." Perhaps in every mother's eyes, her daughter is the most beautiful, but Li Weiyang is not used to it, and her smile is a little stiff.

Mrs. Guo covered her mouth and smiled: "Sit down."

Li Weiyang was a little puzzled, but he was still pulled down. Mrs. Guo personally took off her long hair, stroked her long hair from behind, and sighed: "Look, this long hair is so soft to the touch... but she didn't know how to dress up well, and she refused to wear a glass hairpin-"

Zhao Yue and several other girls covered their mouths and laughed. Li Weiyang sighed. Mrs. Guo had to complain several times a day, and she was already used to it.

Mrs. Guo put her beautiful hair bun on her again, looked at her for a while, and then said softly: "Don't be afraid when you enter the palace, just follow me."

"Yes." Li Weiyang answered.

"Empress Hui is easy to get along with, so don't worry, but it's hard for other people in the palace to get along with. If you meet, don't pay attention. Just give me a tribute and leave." Mrs. Guo said.

Li Weiyang sighed. In the past three days, Mrs. Guo had said the repetitive words more than ten times, and I don’t know who was nervous. It was obviously because she was afraid that she would not understand the court etiquette and would be laughed at in the palace. The mother’s heart is always like this. Her heart is soft and her tone warmed up: "Mom, I understand that I will not cause trouble for Concubine Hui, don’t worry."

"Of course I'm not afraid of you causing trouble. What kind of child are you, can you not know? I'm worried that some people will cause trouble for you!" Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter in the bronze mirror, and there was a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.

"Does Mom mean Empress Pei?" Li Weiyang looked at the other party and realized something.

Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "Silly child, the Guo family and Princess Lin'an had a quarrel last time. Queen Pei obviously knew about it, but she had not acted. It was because of this that I was a little worried."

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Does mom know Queen Pei very well?"

Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "I dare not say I understand that old witch, but over the years, the Pei family and the Guo family have never been harmonious, and they are still very careful about her. This person is narrow-minded, vengeful, sinister and cruel, with a beautiful fox face, but a tiger and wolf heart."

Li Weiyang was amused by Mrs. Guo's description. From the appearance of Princess Anguo, Princess Lin'an, Princess, and even Pei Baoer, you can guess the appearance of Queen Pei. I heard that these people are a bit similar to her, but they are not as beautiful as hers. She smiled and said, "Mom, Empress Pei can firmly sit on the throne of the queen in the open and secret struggles in the palace, so she is naturally not an ordinary person." However, it was the tone that induces her to continue speaking.

"Who is not like this in this world? Is your aunt Hui Empress? But for so many years, she has been following the principle of not offending me and not offending others, leaving a line for others in everything. In comparison, Empress Pei's intelligence and wisdom are really terrible." Mrs. Guo sighed and shook her head, "The Pei family is powerful and sent her daughter to the palace, but she can only help her sit in the position of the queen, and cannot really help her sit in the position of the queen. In addition, there are countless beauties in the harem, and even if she has a beautiful appearance, she will be bored for a day. Therefore, although Empress Pei is beautiful, she has never lived by beauty. What she really relies on is her unfathomable scheming and sinister and vicious means."

Li Weiyang saw Mrs. Guo's lingering fear, thought for a while, but asked another thing: "Mom, my disappearance...you have never told me the actual situation..."

When Mrs. Guo heard her ask, she showed a hint of cold anger in her eyes and said, "It's not that I won't say it, but I'm afraid of scaring you. When Prince Hecheng rebelled, your father led his troops to quell the rebellion. One day and night, the Liu Mansion not far away suddenly caught fire, and a mess of soldiers rushed in. At that time, the whole mansion was in chaos. My mother always thought that the wet nurse and the guard were by your side, so she went to find your grandmother first. When the guards of the Guo family killed the rebel party, my mother hurriedly brought the people back and realized that the wet nurse had died of war and you were gone..."

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "I heard that the war disaster has caused many families."

Mrs. Guo was stunned, then lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, all the major families have suffered more or less losses, including Queen Pei's mother's family, and many people have died. However, the war was inexplicable. Originally, your father was leading the army outside, and there were naturally some people guarding Kyoto. How could a group of chaotic troops suddenly run out? How could these people come to the Guo family? If we hadn't discovered it in time, the whole family would have died with the Liu family next to us. We have been verifying this matter, but we have died at the beginning, and there is no evidence."

"A lot of people died in the Pei family? Who are they?" Li Weiyang grasped the words mentioned by Mrs. Guo, and seemed to be very interested in it.

Mrs. Guo nodded and said, "It is the four brothers of Pei Xiu, the father of Queen Pei, and the three elders of the Pei family."

It is difficult for ordinary people to know these secrets. When Li Weiyang heard this, he glanced at the girls around him. Mrs. Guo knew what she meant when she saw her eyes and smiled and said, "Mom will never send people who are unclear to you, don't worry."

Mrs. Guo was easy-going for the sake of being a slut, but she was not a fool. With her love for Li Weiyang, she would naturally choose the person she trusted the most to send to her. This is also the reason why she had no scruples when speaking just now. The powerful family of the Guo family naturally had ways to discipline people. The wealth and life of these slaves was held in the hands of the master. Even if someone forced them to their necks with a knife, they should know what they could say and what they could not say for the sake of the lives of the whole family.

Of course, Li Weiyang understood this, but she was very cautious and refused to trust others easily. However, after hearing Mrs. Guo's words, she nodded and continued to ask: "What is Pei Xiu's relationship with these people?"

Mrs. Guo didn't seem to expect her to ask this. Her smile on her face was a little surprised and said, "Relationship? The seven dead people happened to be Pei Xiu's close relatives and elders, so the relationship was naturally-" She suddenly stopped talking, and then a light flashed in her mind. "No, no, their relationship is not good!"

Pei Xiu relied on his outstanding military achievements and was always tough. In order to eliminate dissidents, he designed a series of unjust, false and wrong cases. He wronged the Minister of Justice Chongtian, who was in conflict with him, and the Minister Wang Lin, and curated the charges for them and confiscated their property. Not only that, he also repeatedly launched prisons and used too severe punishments, which made everyone hate and fear him and very afraid of him. Later, he even supported the ascension of the throne today, and his daughter became the queen, which was very popular in the limelight. Although he made many enemies, due to the power of the Pei family and his great military achievements, everyone could do nothing to him.

Despite this, the Pei family was divided into two factions at that time. One faction supported Pei Xiu. As his biological daughter, Empress Pei was naturally also a strong supporter. The other faction was headed by Pei Xiu's younger brother Pei Ming, which combined with many opposition forces of the Pei family. Because Pei Xiu was too domineering and arrogant and had too many enemies, almost all the people in the Pei family turned to Pei Ming's faction. Pei Ming, as a mother and brother of Pei Xiu, should have shared honor, but Pei Xiu treated him like a slave. Naturally, he felt hatred and gradually became the intention to replace him.

When Li Weiyang heard this, he naturally laughed: "So, although these dead Pei family and Pei Xiu are close relatives, they are not only Pei Xiu's supporters, but also his enemies."

"This is not entirely true." Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, "In addition to Pei Ming, there are three other brothers of Pei Xiu, Pei Kang, Pei Jing, Pei Zhe, and the other three elders... They all maintain a neutral position. If Pei Xiuzhen planned a war, she could only get rid of Pei Ming. Why should she kill other **s?"

Li Weiyang's eyes were slightly stern and he said, "Isn't this exactly what it means to hide?"

Mrs. Guo's face was surprised and said, "In order to clear her suspicion, would you rather kill her relatives? Isn't this what the beast did?"

The Guo family has today, and it has reached this point with generations of merits and wisdom. Especially this generation of Duke of Qi is a very upright person. Although he will use some extraordinary means to deal with the enemy outside, he treats his relatives wholeheartedly. It can be said that the Guo family exists to protect their closest relatives. Although the family honor and power and status are important, in their opinion, they are just means rather than the ultimate goal, so Mrs. Guo cannot understand.

Indeed, if the honor of the family cannot be used to protect relatives, then what is the need for it to exist? However, Li Xiaoran was completely putting the cart before the horse, which was very ridiculous.

Li Weiyang looked at Mrs. Guo's fair and gentle face and sighed in his heart. If she had expected it was true, this war was caused by Empress Pei. He took the opportunity to get rid of his father's threat and caused a heavy blow to the major families. However, the Pei family lost more than one Pei Ming... In this way, no one would suspect that Empress Pei was the mastermind behind it, because her father also lost some supporters in this matter... Pei Ming tried to seize power for more than one day or two days, but Empress Pei had been tolerant and used her calmness and wisdom to set up a plan step by step, killing the power-grabbing person in one fell swoop and regaining the power-grabbing power-grabbing power. However, Empress Pei's viciousness was really vividly demonstrated by being able to attack her uncle.

Seeing that Li Weiyang was in a daze, Mrs. Guo said softly: "Actually, your father has suspected it as much as you, but there is no evidence. So I think, maybe you are worried too much."

Li Weiyang was stunned when he heard this. Such a big noise... Empress Pei's aftermath was so successful, he had no handle left, which shows how careful Queen Pei's design, how careful the action, and how vicious she was attentive, was admirable.

"Mom, Empress Pei's methods are naturally extraordinary. If she is easily found for evidence, why did she sit in Diaoyutai for so many years? If you don't believe it, think carefully, who is the biggest beneficiary of the war?"

Mrs. Guo was stunned, as if she was a little hesitant: "This... after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed Empress Pei. After the war, the major families were damaged. Before the war, the Pei family had already faintly been besieged by the major families. But later, the situation changed..." She thought of this, slowly stopped talking, quickly passed Li Weiyang's words in her mind, and suddenly realized the key point, and her expression had sunk, "Jia'er, you are right, this matter must be done by Empress Pei! Because she and her father Pei Xiu are the biggest beneficiaries!"

Li Weiyang smiled softly and said, "Yes, you can take action quickly and accurately. This is Empress Pei."

Mrs. Guo looked at Li Weiyang and said, "After Pei Ming's death, people who had been in close contact with him were very scared, fearing that Empress Pei would pursue further, endanger her future, destiny, and even her life. But to their surprise, Empress Pei issued a grace order to bury Pei Ming and others, and burned all the letters and books of their lives. In this way, it would be like not to pursue others. I didn't think about it carefully before. Today, it seems that this move not only won her a good reputation for favor, but also reflected her good means of power."

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "I guess these things have been investigated by my father and brothers, but they have been hiding them from you, for fear that you will retaliate against Empress Pei because of my disappearance. If this is true, you have no evidence at hand and you will be charged with false accusation."

The blue veins on Mrs. Guo's forehead were beating rapidly, and she tried her best to suppress her anger and said, "Am I such an ignorant woman? They underestimate me too much!"

Li Weiyang just held Mrs. Guo's hand and whispered: "Mom, whether it is father or brothers, they are protecting you!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo still couldn't bear to blame her husband and sons who had been hiding for so many years. She just sighed and said, "The hatred between the Guo and Pei families is too deep and cannot be picked up anyway. Therefore, this time you enter the palace, you must be more careful."

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, mom."

Early the next morning, Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang got on the carriage, and Zhao Yue said to the coachman: "Let's go." The carriage began to turn the wheels. Sixteen Guo family guards on both sides followed the carriage across the street, turned to the left by Tongde Gate, and passed a Xiangshui Bridge. In front of them was Nangong City. According to the rules, the carriages of the wife can enter the Nangong City Gate, and then they must stop when entering the second Dong'an Gate. All the Guo family guards were blocked, so naturally the female officials sent by Concubine Guo Hui took over. Of course, two rows of eunuchs took over eight exquisite food boxes from the Guo family's entourage, and the snacks made by the Guo family were placed in them. You should know that there are all good things in the palace, and it is not as appropriate to send food to the Empress like, and it seems more extraordinary.

The four eunuchs each raised a sedan chair and carried Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang to the gate of the Changchun Palace where Concubine Guo Hui lived. Along the way, Li Weiyang only saw the palace maids and eunuchs holding their breath, and could not even hear the voices of people talking. It can be seen that the palace rules in Yuexi are much more harsh than those in the Dali. When they arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, even the sedan chair had to stop.

"...Jia'er, if you meet someone later, just follow the rules mentioned by the nanny in the tutoring family. Do you remember all the taboos in the palace?" Mrs. Guo still asked in a worried manner.

Li Weiyang looked at her and smiled and said he remembered it.

Just as he was about to enter Changchun Palace, he heard footsteps. A young man in brocade walked out of it. He was tall and handsome, but his eyes were filled with a bottomless light. When he saw Mrs. Guo, he had a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face and quickly greeted him: "Auntie."

Before Mrs. Guo could speak, he had already given a tribute for half a time, obviously respecting her very much. Mrs. Guo quickly said, "Your Highness, don't be too polite, oh, by the way, this is Jiaer, your highness hasn't seen it yet."

Yuanying smiled and turned her eyes to Li Weiyang, with a polite and distant smile on her lips, and said, "Cousin."

Li Weiyang smiled very cooperatively, and although he could not make a shy expression on his face, he could have dealt with it.

"Mother's mother asked me to come to the palace gate to meet you," Yuanying smiled faintly, "Auntie, please come in..."

Inside the carved and red lacquered Changchun Palace, there is a wide garden with a green banana, a thousand-year-old pine, and a lot of flowers. There are no specific varieties. It is scattered throughout the yard in an orderly manner, but it is very interesting.

As Mrs. Guo walked into a solemn flower hall together, she saw Concubine Guo Hui sitting on the beauty couch. Li Weiyang had not had time to carefully examine her appearance, so she had already kneeled down with Mrs. Guo.

"Get up." Concubine Guo Hui actually came to support Mrs. Guo. Then, Li Weiyang saw the gorgeous palace skirt walking in front of him, and then a soft female voice, "Today is my **** and niece, Jiaer, just raise your head, don't stick to those common etiquettes."

Li Weiyang still saluted naturally, raised his eyes and smiled, and all the movements were done in one go. Yuan Ying looked at her in a little surprised. Obviously, she didn't expect that in just a few days, Li Weiyang learned the rules so well.

Li Weiyang's eyes fell on Guo Huifei's face. He was obviously close to forty people, but his skin was shady and beautiful and dignified.

"Jia'er." Concubine Guo Hui came up to hold her hand and slowly looked at her face. Li Weiyang was wearing the dress chosen by Mrs. Guo. The color was bright but not frivolous, dignified and gentle, and her face was brightly red, which was more beautiful and cute than before. Concubine Guo Hui nodded and said, "It turns out that she is very delicate."

So, after Yuanying came back, she thought that Concubine Guo Hui mentioned her, and Li Weiyang just smiled slightly.

Concubine Guo Hui took Mrs. Guo and Li Weiyang down and began to ask about some of the recent situations of the Guo family. In fact, she had heard Yuan Ying say this a long time ago, but at this moment, she wanted to listen to **zi say it again. Especially when Guo Jia came back, she listened very seriously, but there was no doubt in her eyes, and she was full of emotion. Li Weiyang saw it and sighed in her heart. The problem of the Guo woman was emotional, even Concubine Guo was no exception. He heard that Li Weiyang had suffered a lot before, so he didn't know how many gifts he gave to compensate her.

Soon, Li Weiyang suddenly realized that Yuanying's eyes were still on her face, and she still looked thoughtful. At this time, she suddenly heard Guo Huifei say: "When I was a child, I took Ying'er to the Guo family to visit relatives, but when he saw Jiaer, he refused to let go..."

When Li Weiyang heard this, a bad feeling suddenly flashed through his heart.

Sure enough, the next sentence of Concubine Guo Hui was: "**, the thing we said in the past should be settled as soon as possible..."

When Li Weiyang saw Concubine Guo Hui's enthusiastic eyes, he felt a little scared. However, when Yuan Ying heard this, he still had a smile on his face, without any movement, as if he had not understood Concubine Guo Hui's hint at all...

Li Weiyang and the others entered the palace very early, and now it is only the hour of Mao. At this moment, the master of the Xu Palace has not yet stood up. The follower who was serving outside was the old man around the old prince, who was known as the eunuch of the prince. At this moment, he walked gently to the desk and gently pulled up his cloak to cover him, for fear of disturbing Yuan Lie who was still sleeping.

"Eunuch Wang, it's already the hour. Should I wake up the prince?" asked the maid Lanzhi whispered.

I was tired of reading books, and I didn't have a rest. The prince sighed. He originally thought that Prince Xu could live a hundred years old, but he didn't expect that the new master would inherit the title so quickly. Moreover, the new prince was handsome, scheming, and had one of his character and appearance, but he was not very similar to His Highness Old Xu's gentle personality. It's okay, in the past six months of inheriting the title, there has been something that made Prince Wang worry about--

Eunuch Wang glanced at the maid beside him and sighed involuntarily. His mood seemed to have fallen to the bottom of the valley. He deliberately lowered his voice: "You guys, it's useless. Let you serve the prince to sleep, why didn't anyone move?"

Those beautiful little girls all lowered their heads. The prince was not interested in them, and they were unpredictable. No one had tried it. But those who tried it could not see the sun the next day. God knew that the bold girl was thrown into an ice hole by the master's secret guard... They couldn't understand. She was obviously a handsome and innocent prince, so why wasn't she attracted the beauty at all? Could it be that the prince didn't like the girl's house? Didn't the old prince curse behind her back, saying that the old prince didn't know where to find a bastard, and was still a bad girl...

"Oh, what's going on? Isn't this going on? Isn't this going on to cut off the inheritance of the title? When the old prince was at this age, he had already married and had children...ah!" The prince said a few words in his mouth. When he raised his eyes, he saw Yuan Lie yawning and looked at him with his eyes.

The prince was startled and said quickly: "Prince... why are you awake?" He didn't expect Yuan Lie to wake up so soon. He was still talking beside him just now. Wouldn't he make the other party think that he was relying on his seniority?

Yuan Lie smiled slightly, his amber eyes seemed to be smiling, "I'm just tired of reading books and lying for a while, you're just nagging here..."

"I dare not!" The prince's wife broke out in a cold sweat, unable to explain what was going on. He was still a little afraid of the new prince, but with the affection left by serving the old prince, he also hoped that the little prince would get married and have children as soon as possible and have a family. "Prince, the old princess came back yesterday and specially recruited a slave and mentioned the candidate for the princess. The old princess wanted to marry her niece to you, so she had to force her to persuade him... And the servant secretly found out that she was going to make a comment to His Majesty through Concubine Hu Shun in the palace... You see, it's not that the servant wants to talk too much. If the Hu family members marry into the princess, she is afraid that she will have the same heart as the old princess..."

In fact, the old princess also gave him a huge amount of silver notes and gave him a suburban farm... These are gifts to win people's hearts. If it were ordinary people, they would probably be moved long ago, but he was always loyal to the old prince. Before the old prince passed away, he even told him to be loyal to the new master. How could he betray Yuan Lie? But he didn't, it doesn't mean that others wouldn't do this. He knew the character of the old prince very well and would never give up until he achieved his goal. In order to make her own son ascend the throne, he could do anything. Although Yuan Lie would not pursue the old prince's face, this struggle could not be solved easily after all!

"Oh!" Yuan Lie's tone was not very warm, and he stood up straight to wash.

Seeing that he was not at all careful, the old princess couldn't help but be anxious. The old princess had always hated Yuan Lie. If she had let her penetrate someone beside the prince, would she still live in the future? The prince didn't make plans early and looked leisurely. Wouldn't he be crazy? "Your Majesty, you should think carefully and you must be ahead of the old princess..."

Although Eunuch Wang was inexplicably afraid of Yuan Lie, he still spoke after weighing the two.

"Even if you don't marry your wife first, you can still take a concubine. In the past six months, the prince has never asked anyone to sleep in. The old princess just seized this opportunity and created a lot of rumors..." It's not that he wanted to worry, but the prince has refused to take a concubine. He really thinks it's a problem.

Yuan Lie raised his eyebrows lazily and said, "Where are the people outside?"

Eunuch Wang was stunned and saw a guard pushing the door in and respectfully sent a secret letter. Yuan Lie opened the letter and read it in one glance. He couldn't help but frown. Wei Yang actually entered the palace-

The prince was still saying, "Even if the prince blames it, the servant must say that if the prince is still there, he will definitely make a marriage for you. Unlike now, there is not even a serious person who is worried-" Just as he was halfway through, he saw Yuan Liefeng walking out. The prince was shocked and stood there, then turned around and looked at everyone and said, "Where is Prince?"

At this moment, Yuan Lie's figure had disappeared in the yard. Eunuch Wang was anxious and slapped his thigh and said, "This prince, why are you so disobeying advice? Do you have to watch the old princess take away the title?!"
