The person who spoke was Chao Zhen, the daughter of Chao Lu's favorite concubine, Li, who ranked second. Li was also Chao Lu's childhood sweetheart.
Today's imperial court is run by the Li family.
Chaolu had one wife and two concubines, the wife was Fang Huimin, and the concubines were Li and Yang.
Yang's temperament is similar to Fang Huimin's. She is also not a competitive person, and both of them are suppressed by Li.
In a month, Chao Lv would rest at Fang Huimin's place on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, while Yang's place would only have two or three days a month.
Chao Lu spent the remaining twenty days resting at Li's place.
That is to say, the official position of Chaolu itself is not high, and no one pays attention to it. Otherwise, he would have been impeached for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife.
Chaoli's second sister, Chaozhen, was actually only one month younger than her, so one can imagine how Chaolv disliked Fang Minhui, his legitimate wife.
Today, when Chaoli saw Chaozhen dressed up in a fancy dress, she felt very disdainful.
In the previous life, Chaozhen also secretly coveted her brother-in-law. Even in the previous life, when Chaoli was feeling uncomfortable because of coming to Kwai Shui, she came directly to her door under the guise of seeing her sister, but in fact she seduced her brother-in-law.
After the seduction failed, he dared to lose his temper with Chaoli, but Chaoli tolerated it at that time.
The reason why I endured it was because of my father's words, I naively felt that Chaozhen truly regarded me as my sister, so much so that I later even considered taking Chaozhen into my concubine, and she would be promoted to equal wife when the time was right.
Unexpectedly, what Chaozhen wanted was the position of head wife, so she planned to kill her mother and Lu Xiuyuan with Li, and the next step was to kill her so that she could ascend to the throne.
However, Gu Hanzhang never had a good attitude toward her, so this was Chaoli's only relief.
The reason why Chaozhen spoke now was probably because Gu Hanzhang's eyes never fell on her from beginning to end.
Just then Chaoli discovered that Chao Zhen looked at Gu Hanzhang with cryptic eyes. Unfortunately, Gu Hanzhang ignored him and was still so noble in his gestures. Chao Zhen was dazzled and worried.
No, I couldn't hold it back and opened my mouth.
"Second sister, why do you only see the prince and not your sister and me?" Chaoli said with a smile.
Chaozhen's appearance is not too outstanding, just like Li's appearance.
Being asked by Chao Li this time, Chao Zhen didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she covered her lips and smiled heartily.
"Look what my sister said. We grew up together and are so familiar with each other. Is it possible that my sister still wants to be angry with me? I just saw that the prince had just arrived, so I just said hello to him. Don't be unhappy, sister.
The two of us are the best. My sister comes home today and I have a lot to say to her. How about we have a good chat later?"
Chaozhen approached Chaoli with a smile and held her arm affectionately. It seemed that the relationship between the two sisters was really good.
Chaoli endured the discomfort and still smiled gently.
"Second sister, are you joking? My sister is joking with you. We have a very good relationship, so I won't mind if you are a sister. Hey, I still have a lot of personal things to say to you in detail, but today my sister is back.
, I still have to settle down the prince, and I can come back to you when I have some free time, okay?"
Hearing this, the smile on Chao Zhen's face was a little stiff, and she didn't seem to expect that Chao Li would say this.
"Oh, I see you two sisters have such a good relationship, I feel relieved now." Mrs. Li also chimed in.
Chaoli looked up and saw Mrs. Li standing aside, dressed in red.
Even though he was just standing, he still compared himself to Fang Huimin, his legitimate wife.
Fang Huimin was born with good looks, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to give birth to a person with the sign of Chaoli. She would just be a little soft-tempered.
In other words, it's not that she has a soft temper, it's just that she cares too much about the law.
If you love someone too much, you will lose your sense of proportion, just like Chaoli did in the previous life.
"Your Majesty, this is my second aunt, the biological mother of my second sister Chaozhen and my third brother Chaoheng. This is my third aunt and the biological mother of my fourth sister Chaowan," Chaoli introduced.
Several people greeted Gu Hanzhang one by one and stood silently.
The prince is standing, and it is impossible for them to sit down.
After saying hello, Chaoli suddenly looked at Li.
"Second aunt is dressed quite festively today. If mother hadn't been sitting at the head, I'm afraid the prince would have misunderstood that you are the mistress of the house." After saying that, Chao Li looked at Gu Hanzhang, "Today the prince will come back with me.
I don't want to see such an unseemly scene, Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart."
The smile on Li's face froze. She wore red on purpose today just to look good to Fang Huimin.
No matter who her daughter Fang Huimin married, or how well she married, she was still not favored. Even in the palace, she, the matron of the house, could not control her as the aunt.
However, today Chaoli actually exposed it directly!
In the final analysis, the Li family is just a bastard in the nest, and does not dare to wear red in a big way outside. The emperor in the capital is not so courageous.
I wanted to express myself in front of Gu Hanzhang, but I didn't expect that Chaoli was different from the gentle and soft-hearted person in the past, and would actually say this.
Gu Hanzhang's expression was indifferent. He was so smart, and of course he understood that Chaoli was deliberately using his name to disgust Mrs. Li and wanted to support her mother.
Although he was being used, Gu Hanzhang was not displeased. After all, he was still the wife of Ming Media.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a high-level family, and there aren't many rules." Gu Hanzhang's eyes moved slightly.
If Chaoli's words were meant to poke at Li's heart, then Gu Hanzhang's words gave Li a slap in the face.
The couple sang and harmonized without giving Li a chance to speak.
Chao Lu just didn't understand the affairs of the back house, and he also understood that Li's wearing red today was inappropriate, but he had never cared about it.
Now that Chao Li had revealed it in front of Gu Hanzhang, Chao Lu was so angry that he couldn't stand it anymore.
"You bastard, how can you act so arrogantly in front of the Crown Prince and not get out of here!" Chao Lu scolded angrily.
Chao Li sneered. Sure enough, Chao Lu only cares about his own face, and other people are not that important at all. He has always been a selfish villain.
"Master!" Ms. Li exclaimed.
This was the first time that Chao Lu had reprimanded her so harshly, but she also understood that she had acted erratically today, and with Gu Hanzhang around, she didn't dare to say anything.
Chao Lu winked at Li, and Li confessed obediently, but took a deep look at Chao Li before leaving.
Strange, what happened to this girl today?
Fang Huimin looked at Chaoli worriedly, sitting there without speaking, feeling quite complicated.
She is not stupid, and understands that Chaoli is trying to support her. She has been bullied by concubines in recent years, and it has really insulted Fang Yaohui's reputation.
But he didn't want his daughter to make Chao Lu angry because of this, and then her life in her husband's family would be unsatisfactory without the support of her mother's family.
However, this mother's family can't sustain much. Maybe she should find another way, Fang Huimin thought secretly.
