"Mrs. Yu and Princess Ruan were discussing the details. Outside the door, Yu Jiajia suddenly rushed in, knelt in front of Mrs. Yu's knees, and burst into tears.
"Aniang, Aniang, if my daughter doesn't want to be Liangdi, no matter what, she should at least be the concubine of Prince Li."
She is in so much pain, she has obviously suffered such great harm, and now that she cannot be a certain prince's concubine, does that mean that she is being condescended to the point where she can only be Liangdi?
It's obviously not her fault, why should she compromise?
Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Jiajia with embarrassment and distress.
"Son, you have to accept the reality. The situation is no longer in our control. If you don't marry Prince Xiao Li as Liang Di, you will have to marry Duke Sun. Would you rather marry that beast?"
"No, my daughter doesn't want it, she doesn't want it!"
When Yu Jiajia heard the three words "Sun Guogong", she shivered all over. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but shed tears one by one.
"My daughter should not marry that beast, but my daughter should be a concubine. Now my daughter does not expect to be a concubine like my sister. How can it be that with the financial resources of our family and my sister?
With his identity, he can’t even secure the position of Prince Xiao Li’s side concubine for his daughter?”
How could she be willing to do this?
Princess Ruan looked at Yu Jiajia like this and felt really pitiful. She came forward and hugged Yu Jiajia distressedly.
"A-mei, I'm not saying now that you must be wronged to be Xiao Li Wang Liangdi. We haven't talked with Xiao Li Wang yet. No matter what the final position is, we have to talk about it. A-mei, don't worry now.
.”
With that said, Princess Ruan winked at Mrs. Yu. She stayed here to appease Yu Jiajia and asked Mrs. Yu to find Mr. Yu.
After all, if Li Yunqing wants to marry Yu Jiajia, Mr. Yu has to deal with it.
Mr. Yu, who had locked himself in the room, suddenly came to life after listening to Mrs. Yu's words.
The Yu family has a lot of wealth, but what they lack now is power. It just so happens that Li Yunqing has identity, status, and the Shence Army, the best in the world.
As long as the Yu family is married to Prince Li's family, Sun Guogong will not dare to bully the Yu family again.
Duke Yu hurriedly ordered his servants to dress him up, and told Mrs. Yu,
"I will go to Prince Ruan's Mansion right now and ask Princess Ruan to go back with me. You stay at home and take good care of Jiajia."
Even though Princess Ruan was his biological daughter, but she became a member of the royal family, Duke Yu still had to address his eldest daughter as Princess Ruan.
This is the charm of power.
Mrs. Yu had a long-lost smile on her face,
"Sure, sir, you have been thoughtful. Please slow down. As women, it is not appropriate for us to take the initiative to propose marriage. It would be best to let Prince Ruan deal with it for us."
"It doesn't take much effort. Although our Jiajia is no longer a young girl, the dowry we gave her is generous. If this little Prince Li is smart, he should give Jiajia the position of concubine."
Mr. Yu is quite confident on this point. This confidence comes from the fact that the Yu family is rich!
Mrs. Yu also nodded,
"The master said this, and I think it's appropriate, so let's try our best to find Jiajia a position as a concubine."
The couple discussed it, and Duke Yu set out that night for the capital of Hushan County, where he found Prince Ruan and whispered to him in the study for a long time.
In the early morning, Prince Ruan came out of the study with a sigh and said to Duke Yu:
"Father-in-law, you see, I don't have a single Shence Army in Prince Ruan's palace. Although this matter is not difficult to handle, where do you want me to find Prince Xiao Li and talk to him about this marriage?"
No one knows Li Yunqing's whereabouts, and even if Mr. Yu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would be sure that Li Yunqing was in Hushan County.
When Prince Ruan's Mansion fell into the hands of Duke Sun, Duke Sun sent troops to completely surround Prince Ruan's Mansion. Even when Prince Ruan was in his own palace, he had to report to the soldiers of Duke Sun's Mansion before entering or leaving the palace.
Later, a group of people came and drove away Sun Guogong's palace soldiers. King Ruan guessed that it was Shence's army, but the other party said nothing. Not long after killing the soldiers, it was replaced by the army of King Qi next door to guard Prince Ruan's palace.
From beginning to end, Li Yunqing did not show up.
There is no evidence to prove that it was the Shence Army who killed all the soldiers.
Duke Yu also looked troubled. He looked at the elegant and handsome King Ruan in front of him.
"Then what should we do now? My lord, your wife and sister are also innocent and pitiful. What should we do?"
King Ruan let out a heavy "Alas",
"I have an idea. It's better to go directly to Princess Li for this matter. If your wife and sister are going to enter Prince Li's house, you should also inform Princess Li."
"this......"
Duke Yu was a little hesitant. After all, Princess Xiao Li was famous and he had heard about it.
"It is said that Princess Xiao Li is very powerful. The current Northland City Guard Army is led by Princess Xiao Li. It will be more difficult to get her to agree to this matter than to go directly to Prince Xiao Li."
"You can't say that. She can't give birth to a child on her own. Isn't Prince Li allowed to have concubines?"
King Ruan sneered. There is only one Princess Ruan in the world today, who can be regarded as a role model for a wife.
You know, King Ruan was originally unwilling to take a concubine, but he truly loved his princess.
But there is only one child in Prince Ruan's house, which is still too withered.
For the sake of his children, his wife offered to take a concubine for him, which moved King Ruan very much, so he became even more polite to Princess Ruan.
Even if his concubine shows any disrespect towards King Ruan, he will be disgusted by King Ruan from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, he has always believed that as long as the wife is completely selfless and considerate of her husband, and is neither jealous nor evil, this is what a good wife and mother should do.
Referring to others, King Ruan believed that Hua Jin should also have such a sense of humility.
Duke Yu thought it made sense.
The two of them discussed it together again and decided to send Princess Ruan to find Hua Jin first to pave the way for this matter.
Before Princess Ruan found Hua Jin, Hua Jin already knew about this matter.
Wherever the Qi King's army and the city guard army go, Ergouzi's hands will reach out wherever they go. Now the people guarding Prince Ruan's Mansion are the Northern City Guards. Any trivial thing that happens in Prince Ruan's Mansion will be
Ergouzi compiled it into a volume and sent it to Hua Jin.
While sighing that Ergouzi Zhiluo's intelligence network was getting bigger and bigger, she flipped through the intelligence booklet in her hand.
When she saw the content of the conspiracy between Duke Yu and Prince Ruan, Hua Jin couldn't help but laugh.
Su Niang on the side was so anxious that she stamped her feet,
"Mother, please think of a solution quickly. Who are these Yu family members? Why do they dare to send such crooked things to our prince?"
"The Yu family? The richest family in Tianjing Kingdom. What are they afraid of?"
Hua Jin closed the information booklet in her hand and asked Wu Tian behind her,
"Where has the prince gone?"
Wu Tian also had a bit of anger on his face,
"Reporting to your Majesty, Your Majesty is chasing Sun Guogong in Hushan County. Now Sun Guogong only has 300,000 troops left."
Because he was bitten hard by Li Yunqing, Sun Guogong did not get much gold and silver from the Yu family, so he fled with his army to the imperial capital, looting the people of Hushan County along the way.
"Many people from Hushan County are fleeing to Guqi Prefecture. Recently, many people have also gone north to our north."
Because of the severe drought, all those who could leave their homes did so. Later, because of the hint from the eldest princess, the princes of various fiefdoms drove the refugees to the north.
This has led to abnormal prosperity in the North, especially Beidi City where Prince Li's Mansion is located. The Ministry of Works of Japan just wrote a note to Hua Jin not long ago, and Beidi City will be expanded again.
If it continues to be built, Beidi City will probably become the largest capital city in the entire Tianjing Kingdom.
In the end, he became an existence that made the imperial capital fearful.
No, in fact, Li Yunqing is now very fearful in the imperial capital.
Therefore, after learning that the refugees heading to the North had not brought down Prince Li's palace, the imperial capital quietly gave orders to the various princes to stop driving refugees to the North.
Therefore, many people cannot leave even if they want to because of household registration restrictions.
Now Sun Guogong is causing trouble in Hushan County. Many people in Hushan County saw this opportunity and went all the way north.
It’s unclear how many people really can’t survive.
But everyone knows that if you don't take this opportunity to leave Hushan County, I'm afraid it won't be that easy next time.
Hua Jin pondered for a moment, took out the booklet sent by Beidi City, and wrote a paragraph of instructions on it with a red pen, in order to properly resettle the people who moved to the North and not allow Beidi City to expand indefinitely.
If necessary, the North City can build a third large city, just build it next to the southern city.
After writing these instructions, someone came to report from outside. Princess Ruan was here.
Hua Jin did not stop Princess Ruan from seeing her. Instead, she changed into the princess's court uniform and sat in the flower hall of Prince Qi's Mansion, waiting for Princess Ruan to come see her.
"Empress."
Tian Xiang held the child in her arms and hurried into the flower hall, whispering with a bad expression:
"I heard that Princess Ruan came here this time because..."
Hua Jin raised her hand to stop Tian Xiang from continuing.
Because Princess Ruan had already walked in with a bunch of people.
"younger sister!"
Princess Ruan's face was beaming with joy. As she walked towards where Hua Jin was sitting, she greeted the maid behind her.
"Quickly, bring over all the gifts that I have given to Princess Xiao Li."
With that said, she sat next to Princess Xiao Li, sitting on an equal footing with Hua Jin.
A group of girls and women held in their hands various kinds of brocade clothes and a lot of exquisite jewelry, all of which were expensive and beautiful.
"This time I went back to my parents' home. I am very grateful to my sister for her generous help. She specially selected these clothes and jewelry and asked me to give them to my sister."
As Princess Ruan spoke, she covered her lips with a fan and said with a smile:
"No, this concubine has come to Prince Qi's Mansion again."
She looked at Tian Xiang who was sitting next to her, her eyes curved,
"Concubine, don't mind."
Tianxiang blessed Princess Ruan politely and without saying anything, just looked at Hua Jin with a pair of worried eyes.
Hua Jin held a cup of tea in her hand, slowly flicking the tea leaves on the water with the tea lid.
"I like these things very much, and Mrs. Yu is interested in them."
Don't you like it? Compared with the pictures of the last time, these gorgeous clothes and jewelry are more attractive to Hua Jin.
She raised her eyes, unable to tell whether she was happy or angry, and told Su Niang and Lian'er very calmly,
"Put away all the gifts from Mrs. Yu."
Then, looking at Princess Ruan again, Hua Jin didn't speak, looking like she was waiting for the other party to say something.
Princess Ruan felt a little embarrassed. She raised her hand and pressed the luan decoration on her temples. After thinking for a long time, she looked at Hua Jin sincerely.
"Sister, last time my sister told you about the doctor who is very good at conditioning women's bodies, have you sent someone to ask for it?"
Hua Jin looked at Princess Ruan with a half-smile,
"Not yet, I'm too busy at this time and haven't had time."
"Hey, you have to go and invite me as soon as possible. Look at the days passing by and your stomach hasn't moved yet. Don't worry about your little King Li picking up a wild fox on the roadside and bringing you back a wild fox.
ah?"
Princess Ruan pretended to be anxious and thought about Hua Jin very much.
"You can't do this kind of thing. If you have one, a man's heart will be wild. Sister, I am doing this for your own good."
"Then I would like to thank my sister for your concern."
Hua Jin remained motionless, not in a hurry, and did not say anything about standing up immediately and telling Wu Tian to ask for the doctor. It was more like a perfunctory gesture towards Princess Ruan.
But Princess Ruan had something on her mind and was not aware of Hua Jin's perfunctory attitude.
She picked up the tea, moistened her lips slightly, and then said seriously:
"This woman's body is her own to suffer. My sister will listen to her and take good care of her body in secret first, so as to give birth to a young prince for Prince Li as soon as possible. In addition, my sister still needs to be prepared for both things."
Hua Jin raised her eyebrows and asked:
"What does Princess Ruan mean by these two preparations?"
"Hey, that's what I told you last time, to give your little Prince Li a concubine."
Princess Ruan took out the silk handkerchief, raised it to cover up, and said with a smile:
"Isn't Lian'er in your house already married? Your girl Yue'er is still young, and Su Niang is old, so she still has to find someone from outside."
Getting closer to the topic.
Hua Jin stood still and followed Princess Ruan's words,
"Yes, you need to be prepared. What does Princess Ruan mean by letting me see a good girl and marry the prince?"
These words made the smile on Princess Ruan's face freeze.
"Here, isn't Tongfang's status too low?"
"Then according to Princess Ruan's wishes, if I want to take a concubine for the prince, what status should I be given when she takes her in?"
"Don't you, Prince Li, still have a concubine?"
Princess Ruan blurted out, then looked at Hua Jin.
Hua Jin laughed,
"It's such a big battle. Which family's good family will become the concubine as soon as he enters my Prince Li's palace? I am not a fool for such a person. I take the initiative to accept it for the prince. If I get a concubine in the future,
If you are a son and a daughter, wouldn’t you be trampling under your feet and bullying me?”
She felt that she was not a fool, but that people from the Yu family and Prince Ruan's palace regarded her as a fool.
Sitting next to him, the concubine beside King Qi added some incense and also helped in time.
"What Princess Xiao Li is saying is that at the beginning, I was also a concubine, and I sat all the way up. Unless I am a princess and princess, and can hold down the position of concubine, otherwise, ordinary people's
If a woman wants to enter Prince Li's palace, she must naturally sit up from the lowest position."
Tianxiang had already known about the fact that the second daughter of the Yu family had her innocence ruined by Sun Guogong.
Like everyone in the flower hall, she knew why Princess Ruan came.
Tian Xiang smiled and said:
"But having said that, why should a princess with an innocent identity have to be a concubine? Wouldn't it be nice to be a princess?"
Back then, Princess Biyue looked down upon the position of concubine, and even intended to demote Hua Jin, the principal concubine, to concubine, while Princess Biyue became the principal concubine.
After all, the identity of Princess Biyue lies here. Although Princess Biyue acted a little bit, she is clean and pure. Although she is the only daughter of the eldest princess and is loved by thousands of people, she wholeheartedly wants to marry Li Yunqing.
There have never been any scandals with any man, right?
