Concubine Lian entered Guo’s mansion. When introducing her to Mrs. Guo and others, Li Weiyang just said: “This is my old friend in Dali, named Leng Lian. After His Majesty issued the expulsion order this time, she had to leave Dadu and meet me by chance. Because she was in poor health, she could not leave with the team immediately, and wanted to hide in our mansion for the time being.”

After hearing what Li Weiyang said, Mrs. Guo did not doubt it. Although His Majesty issued an expulsion order, there were too many Dali people in Yuexi, and many of them were related to their relatives. Not to mention that wealthy families like them were more or less hiding, even ordinary people would occasionally take in such people at home, just taking some risks. But how could Mrs. Guo refuse as Li Weiyang said?

Mrs. Guo looked at the woman named Leng Lian carefully. She felt that her face was dignified and beautiful, and she stood there like peony smoke, flowers and trees piled up snow, comparing Princess Ali, who was originally standing next to her, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I have seen so many girls, and it's the first time I have seen a woman like Miss Leng. It's really amazing!"

Concubine Lian, no, she should call her Leng Lian now. When she heard Mrs. Guo’s praise, she just smiled slightly and said, “Mrs. Guo praised her.”

Seeing that she was not talking much and her behavior was very dignified, Mrs. Guo nodded and said to Li Weiyang: "Let her live in Shaoyaoju near you. I will now ask the maids to clean up and let her move in as soon as possible." After that, she turned her head and looked at Leng Lian, and said, "You are Jiaer's friend, and like my daughter, the maids here are not thoughtful or have any other needs. Tell me at any time."

Leng Lian hurriedly thanked Mrs. Guo, with gratitude on her face, and there were some tears in her eyes, which made her look more and more charming.

Mrs. Guo liked this decent and beautiful lady even more and couldn't help but smile and said, "Jia'er, I told them to prepare, you two should talk about the past."

Li Weiyang nodded and watched Mrs. Guo leave.

Leng Lian looked at Li Weiyang's side face with a hint of envy in her eyes: "Mrs. Guo is gentle and kind, and treats others kindly. It can be seen that she loves you very much. Weiyang, you have lived a good life here."

Li Weiyang's eyes were faint, and he just chuckled, "From today, I will call you Leng Lian, and just call me Guo Jia, don't mention the name of the past!" In fact, from the time he arrived in Yuexi, only Yuan Lie called the name Weiyang, and others would call her Miss Guo or Guo Jia...

Leng Lian was not a stupid person either. She heard that Li Weiyang was unwilling to show anything strange in front of Mrs. Guo, so she nodded in a good manner and said, "Okay, I'll call you Jiaer."

Li Weiyang smiled faintly and told Zhao Yue to go outside to guard it. Then he made a gesture to Leng Lian and said, "Please sit down."

Leng Lian was stunned, then sat down gently, looked at Li Weiyang with her beautiful eyes and said, "Thank you very much for taking me in this time, and thank you for finding Xu'er for me. I'm just trying my luck this time. After all, the past is... I'm sorry for you first." As she said that, her eyes showed a look of guilt and regret.

People think about themselves. In the face of a huge gap in real power between themselves and Tuoba, it is not surprising that Concubine Lian thinks about herself and her children. Li Weiyang didn't care and said with a gentle smile: "We two are very destined to be together. You helped me a lot at the beginning. For the sake of old love, I will also repay you. But I don't know where the prince was lost?"

Leng Lian hurriedly said, "It was on the border between Yuexi and Dali. That day, a beggar bumped into our carriage. In the conflict, I was about to deal with it, so I asked the wet nurse to take Xu'er with me, but unexpectedly she secretly took the child away. When I went to search, there was no news! The situation in Dali was very chaotic, and Tuoba Yu's people were searching everywhere. How could she let me escape if she was Tuoba Yu's people? So I think she would not be able to go back to Dali, so she could only come to Yuexi!"

Li Weiyang nodded. Whether Concubine Lian was really saying that she would naturally find someone to verify. As for now, she must keep her. She looked at the other party with a trace of searching in her expression: "If you can find the prince, what are your plans in the future?"

Leng Lian seemed a little hesitant, and paused for a moment before saying sadly: "What are my plans? I originally entered the palace to avenge my family. Fortunately, Your Majesty loved me and gave me support. Later, when I gave birth to Xu'er, I was devoted to being my concubine, but unexpectedly I was involved in the battle of the royal family. Tuoba Yu is no longer the gentle and elegant prince back then. His methods are no less than Tuoba Zhen. It is precisely because of this that I am very afraid. I don't want to help him, and I dare not disobey him, but I still talked about it and had to escape. I just want to find my son and find a safe place to spend the rest of my life."

Li Weiyang looked at Lian Fei's beautiful face, but smiled faintly. At this moment, the more beautiful the woman is, the less willing the woman is to live a dull life, especially Lian Fei... Her beauty has given her great confidence and vanity. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't be willing to stay in the palace for glory and wealth. What's more, Lian Fei is still very young and beautiful. No one would believe that she is already a mother of a child. As long as she is willing, hundreds of men will take the initiative to fall under her pomegranate skirt. Li Weiyang said softly: "No matter what, you have arrived here, just stay with peace of mind. I will send someone to find the prince as soon as possible, and I will not inform you when there is any news. But Your Majesty has just issued an expulsion order, and no one in Dali can stay in Dadu. I hope you will pay great attention to your words and deeds."

Leng Lian was overjoyed and nodded quickly, "I know this. My hometown was originally close to Yuexi. I understand the customs and habits here, and I will not expose my strengths and let outsiders see that I am from Dali."

Li Weiyang then stood up and said to Leng Lian with a gentle smile: "You can have a good rest. If you have any need, let the maid inform me at any time."

Leng Lian sent Li Weiyang out eagerly, watched her leave, stood in the yard for a moment before turning around and entering the room.

When they returned to their yard, Li Weiyang had to face the questioning of other people in the Guo family. Director Guo and Guo Cheng were not as easy to pass as Mrs. Guo. They both opened their eyes wide and waited for Li Weiyang's explanation.

Director Guo took the lead and asked, "Jia'er, where did you find such a stunning beauty?"

Director Guo has been so beautiful that he naturally knows that a woman like Leng Lian is definitely not a lady that ordinary people can raise. Her noble and elegant temperament and fairy-like appearance, Pei Baoer is simply a side dish compared to her. But she is actually an old friend of Li Weiyang, which is really strange. Why hasn't he heard Jiaer mention it before?

It is not surprising that Director Guo would have some questions. Li Weiyang smiled faintly and said, "When I was in Dali, she helped me. Her real identity was not the daughter of an official family, but the princess of a small country."

Hearing this, the three brothers of the Guo family looked at each other.

Li Weiyang knew that this matter was very troublesome to explain, so he didn't want to say more, and simply said: "In order to avenge the country and family grudges, she had to enter the Dali Palace and become the concubine of the old emperor. Later, she offended the new emperor and left the palace."

Guo Cheng showed a surprised look: "She is already married?" He remembered that most Dali women married early, Leng Lian looked twenty years old, he didn't know the other party's actual age, but he looked like a 28-year-old girl...

Concubine Lian is not only extremely beautiful, but also loves her beauty very much. Her hair has always remained black and shiny. If the palace maid combs her hair, she will be furious and then pulls the person out and chops it up. So the palace maid who later combs her hair will hide her fallen hair in her sleeves in order to avoid the disaster of death. How could such a woman be willing to live under such a life under someone else’s roof? So she must have some plans... Li Weiyang smiled and said, "It's not just about getting married, she has a son!"

Director Guo was slightly surprised and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "She is very young and her behavior is like a daughter of a famous family, not like a woman."

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "Although Concubine Lian already has a child, if she doesn't tell her, I'm afraid others will think that Yunying is not married."

Director Guo frowned and said, "But if she is really the imperial concubine of Dali, then these things will be a bit complicated."

Guo Dun hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty has just issued an expulsion order, so you openly take in a concubine from the Dali royal family. I'm afraid this is not very appropriate, right?"

Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "As long as you don't tell anyone about it, who will know her identity? After all, Concubine Lian did not leave the house in the palace before, and no one would know who she was. You don't have to worry too much about this."

Director Guo still felt it was inappropriate. He looked at Li Weiyang and said seriously: "But this woman is too beautiful and she is alone all the way. Don't Jiaer find it a little strange?"

Li Weiyang knew that Guo Dao was extraordinary, so he just smiled faintly: "Yuan Lie had already gone to investigate. At first, there were maids guarding her, but when she reached the border, the slaves stole her wealth and slipped away quietly. Not only that, they also planned to tie her up and sell her to raise more money. If she hadn't escaped first, she might have fallen into a brothel. After this disaster, she quietly covered her face and pretended to be a hunchbacked old woman and entered Dadu. Only after entering the city gate did she dare to wash away the dust and disguise on her face. If she hadn't been seen by Princess Ali in the restaurant that day, she would not have found me."

Director Guo nodded and felt a little relieved. However, Guo Dun couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect this delicate girl to be quite smart."

Li Weiyang looked at him and said with a smile: "Empress Lian Fei is not an ordinary woman!"

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Guo Cheng hesitated for a moment: "This time... she seems to be here to find someone?"

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Yes, she lost her son, so I hope we can find her secretly."

Guo Cheng was older after all, so he asked more cautiously: "What if he found it?"

Li Weiyang didn't explain much: "After finding it... I will give her some gold and silver to settle her. This is also the reward she helped me in the past."

The other three looked at each other and felt that the arrangement was more appropriate.

Li Weiyang said it right. If Concubine Lian was in the deep palace of Dali, few people would recognize her. In addition, she is now in the Guo Mansion and will not be seen easily, and she will not cause any trouble. They will speed up helping her find her son and send her away as soon as possible. After all, she is Guo Jia's friend, so it is not easy to save her.

Director Guo walked at the end when he left, but for some reason he turned back. In the middle of winter, he was still holding a fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Jia'er, are you hiding anything from us?"

Li Weiyang did not expect him to return and couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What does Fifth Brother mean? What do I have to hide from you?"

Director Guo smiled and said, "I always think you have other plans to keep Concubine Lian. You are so smart, you won't expect how dangerous this matter is. Is it right?"

Li Weiyang was stunned and sighed softly: "People say that the fifth brother is the most cunning among the sons of the Guo family. I think this is true, you will see any clues. Yes, I keep her for other uses."

Director Guo didn't expect her to admit so happily, so he frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Weiyang added a hint of sarcasm to his smile: "As for what to do with her, we have to look at Concubine Lian's own choice."

Director Guo was even more confused when he heard this, but no matter how he asked, Li Weiyang refused to say anything. He couldn't help but leave disappointed, and did not forget to look back and listen to him: "If there is anything in this scene that needs my help, or beat drums, don't forget to tell me in advance."

Li Weiyang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I understand, Brother Fifth, I won't let you down!"

Watching Director Guo leave, Li Weiyang turned his head and looked at Zhao Yue and said, "I have been paying attention to Concubine Lian for me these days, and her diet, daily life, and even every word I have to record and tell me one by one."

Zhao Yue said in confusion: "Miss, do you doubt Concubine Lian?"

Li Weiyang shook his head and said calmly: "This is not, it's just that I have other uses. You don't have to ask too much, just do as you do."

Hearing Li Weiyang say this, Zhao Yue responded immediately and left.

Concubine Lian lived in the Guo family, but her name had been changed to Leng Lian, which saved the word "You" in the middle. Everyone in the Guo family was very welcome to her. After all, Leng Lian was gentle, noble and generous, and had outstanding words and deeds. Anyone who talked to her was like spring breeze, which was hard to hate. Especially Li Weiyang, she was almost so kind to Leng Lian that she was so unbelievable that she was depressed for a while. Before Leng Lian arrived, she felt that no matter how close she approached Li Weiyang, the other party was just lukewarm. She finally warmed her up, and now there was another one to compete for favor with her.

Because of this, Princess Ali, who was thinking about it, locked herself in the room. Guo Dun went to coax her several times before she gradually recovered. At the beginning, her enthusiasm for Leng Lian gradually faded, but she deliberately made things difficult for her. Just like this time, she saw Leng Lian enjoying flowers in the garden, Princess Ali ran up, her face was bulging, and she said bluntly: "How long do you have to live in Guo's house?"

Leng Lian raised her eyes and looked at Princess Ali, but smiled gently: "Your Highness Princess, I wonder where Leng Lian has offended you and made you dislike me like this?"

Ali's big eyes, like black grapes, blinked and curled her lips unhappily: "Since you came, Jiaer has stopped playing with me, of course I don't like you!"

The first time Leng Lian saw the person who spoke so frankly, she couldn't help but smile deeper: "Weiyang and I, oh no, Jiaer and I are old acquaintances. We met you before Princess Ali, so what's so strange about having a better relationship?" Speaking of this, Leng Lian herself was actually a little confused. Li Weiyang's attitude towards her was not so kind before, but why did she seem particularly friendly when she came to join her this time? Could it be that it was her own illusion, or the other party changed her personality after she arrived in Yuexi... This made her feel even more uneasy.

Leng Lian thought of this, but she didn't show any expression on her face: "Jia'er and I were originally friends. Princess Ali, you and her are also very good. In this way, you have a friend like me, right?"

Ali opened her mouth and couldn't speak. It was obviously confused by her. Leng Lian continued, "Jia'er's friend is my friend. From now on, I will care about you, like you, and play with you. Isn't that good? Why are you unhappy because of my arrival?"

Princess Ali was snatched away and was completely stunned. She almost didn't know what to say. Her mind was simple. She turned around and seemed to think it was true. She couldn't help but smile sincerely and said, "Are you saying true?"

Leng Lian smiled slightly, and her smile was like spring flowers blooming, which was so beautiful that she said kindly: "This is nature!"

Princess Ali was then happy again.

At this time, Li Weiyang happened to come from not far away. Seeing the scene in the pavilion, she stepped forward and said, "What are you two talking about? You are so happy. Can I know?"

Leng Lian saw Li Weiyang and stood up with a smile: "I'm talking about you, come here!"

Li Weiyang looked at her and smiled and walked into the pavilion. Seeing that the table was empty, she turned around and ordered, "Zhao Yue, tell the kitchen to make some snacks." Zhao Yue immediately did as he did.

Leng Lian was naturally informed and tactful: "No need to worry, I'm just here to sit down."

Li Weiyang smiled very gentle: "I told you not to treat me as an outsider. My home is your home. I will naturally make you feel comfortable and happy when you are here."

Leng Lian didn't say much when she heard the other party say this, but just sat down again with a smile.

When Zhao Yue led the maids to bring the refreshments, even Leng Lian was a little surprised. The refined pastries in front of her, sesame rolls, lotus seed cakes, Erzhen cakes, date mud lotus crisps, Buddha's hand crisps, elephant nose cakes, golden silk sauce, walnut dew, brown sugar sashima... Their appearance was actually more refined than those she had eaten in the palace. She glanced at them and suppressed her eyes and said in surprise: "I remember these two treasure cakes, your majesty."

When she was there, she ordered the kitchen to make it for me alone, but she didn't expect that everyone would imitate it later and it spread throughout the world. Now even Yuexi can be eaten, but the taste is probably not so authentic..." She said, gently pinching a piece and putting it into her mouth, but she felt it melted in her mouth, which was very sweet. The familiar feeling made her stunned. Then she turned to look at Li Weiyang and said, "Jia'er, where did you... invite you, the chef?"

Li Weiyang smiled calmly: "After I came to Yuexi, I didn't like the food here. I always miss the food from my hometown, especially Erzhen cake. Later, my mother tried every means to invite an imperial chef from Dali who retired and returned home for me. Do you still find it delicious when you eat it?"

Leng Lian nodded quickly and said, "It's very authentic, Mrs. Guo is really mean."

Princess Ali curled her lips and said, "What are these two treasure cakes? This one I like the most!" As she said that, she pointed to the cherry crispy cherry that was bright and dazzling, and looked very attractive in color.

When Leng Lian heard her say this, she also tried it. She couldn't help but open her eyes and said in surprise: "This snack is so delicious, but it is a hundred times better than what I had tasted in the palace before! It seems that Mrs. Guo has taken a lot of effort to please you!"

Li Weiyang's smile was very plain and he didn't say much.

Leng Lian saw it, but her heart couldn't help but feel a little sour. She looked like her own appearance, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her tricks were no less than anyone else. She had such talent, and she should be a first-class talent everywhere, and was held in her hand and cared for her thousands of people. However, when the old emperor died, she suddenly turned sharply and turned from a noble concubine to a widow! Tuoba Yu was still chasing her everywhere, so that she had to go to the west of Yue.

, along the way, she didn't eat well, and she was even more worried and could hardly survive! In order to avoid the covetousness of the evil people, she had to pretend to be a hunchbacked beggar woman. It was not until she entered Dadu that she changed her makeup. Now, because she had no objects, even if she had a stunning appearance, she had no money to dress up. This is the same as dressing up a stunning beauty but locking her in a room without a bronze mirror. It is extremely painful!

After arriving at Guo's mansion, Leng Lian saw with her own eyes that everyone loved Li Weiyang so much that she almost wanted to bring all the treasures from all over the world to her. Once, when Li Weiyang's face was extremely beautiful, she asked and found out that Mrs. Guo specially picked out one out of hundreds of kilograms of peony petals, and twenty kilograms of purest and freshest made into rouge for Li Weiyang... She remembered that she had entered Li Weiyang's bedroom and saw the treasures and utensils that made people almost unable to open their eyes. Many of them were those she had never seen in the palace and had never possessed. It can be seen that the wealth of the nobles in the century-old Yuexi was not inferior to the Dali royal family.

I thought I had never seen anything as a princess, and what could be rare? After entering the Dali Palace, I couldn't help but understand the truth that there were people outside of people and there was heaven. When the Guo family, which has been rich for generations, was even more eye-opening. Leng Lian looked noble, but was indeed greedy and vain in her bones. She couldn't stand the dull and boring life no matter what. Thinking that she would leave the Guo family one day and be self-reliant, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tight and had to smile at Li Weiyang: "In the past, I was only a frog in the well, but I didn't know that the wealth in Yuexi was far above the Dali. I have been staying in the Guo family for a while recently, so I could understand the gap. Jiaer is so lucky that I moved from one lucky nest to another golden nest, which I was so envious!"

When Li Weiyang heard what she said, he smiled faintly: "This is all the special care of his parents."

It was winter now. Although the Guo family's garden was very beautifully maintained, the branches and leaves on the trees were still scattered, and a thin layer of ice formed on the lake surface. The bright light shone on the ice surface and reflected a cold light. Leng Lian sighed and said, "When I knew it, winter has really come."

Li Weiyang and Princess Ali looked at each other and saw that the other party was full of confusion. Li Weiyang sighed softly and said, "I have searched for the little prince carefully, but unfortunately there is no whereabouts of him yet."

The little prince? Leng Lian was stunned, then reacted, hurriedly covered her embarrassment with a smile, and said, "Oh, thank you. I am really worried about Xu'er, I don't know if he will fall into the hands of the bad guy."
To be continued...
