"A few days ago, my child was slightly injured in the palace. I went to check and see if it was okay. Do you think... am I too cruel as a mother? The older child was sent to the hospital.
In the palace, there is no place to complain even if you are wronged.
I feel really distressed here, would it be better if you could let me stay with him in the palace for a while?"
Li Xiuying sighed, looking rather sad as she muttered, but her brows were gentle, not looking sad at all.
Li Xiuning, who had a toothache, looked at Wanshi for a moment, almost thinking, is this showing off?
You said that you, the daughter of the Li family, sent your own child to the palace to study with you. This doesn't sound right. You also showed it off to others, facing your sister and your father's concubines...
You have a really big heart...
Of course, no one has the right to blame her now. If she really takes it seriously, I'm afraid she will be embarrassed.
Li Xiuning is now the "head of the family". Because she is in a special period, the head of the Li Hu branch has also acquiesced in her status, and Li Yuan is now the head of the family.
Most of Li Yuan's generation were dead, and the remaining ones, such as Li Shentong brothers, were not suitable to be in charge of the family, so everyone pushed Li Yuan out in a hurry.
Li Yuan is a talented person, but the most important thing is that he is not very courageous. Now that the Li family in Longxi has lost power and needs to recuperate, it is necessary to choose such a head of the family.
During Li Yuan's time, he generously rewarded his clan members, and all the younger children in the family were given the title of Duke, because there were many brothers and nephews, and there were also a lot of princes.
It was prosperous in the beginning, but now it is miserable. The new emperor did not hesitate to strip away all the titles of the descendants of the Li family in Longxi, and then there was nothing but chicken feathers.
As the head of the Li family (Li Hu branch) in Longxi, Li Yuan has come to see Li Xiuning twice, hoping to put his cousin in good words in front of the emperor, change things, and allow the Li family members to serve in the new dynasty again.
This is obviously to make things difficult for others. I haven't seen that Li Xiuning has formed sporadic friendships with people over the past year. They are all outsiders, and they are generally younger and have lower positions. He is obviously investing in the future of these people.
As for Li's in-laws, she only interacted with Duan Lun, Dou Dan and others, and she was careful and cautious.
He has almost no contact with the clansmen in the main house. This is not a matter of standing aside, nor does he want to establish a new family. It is just that Li Xiuning feels that the timing is not right. People have not yet regarded the Li family in Longxi as the same as the Yang family, Chen family, Gao family, etc.
…
In other words, the time is too short, just over a year. People, especially the emperor, have not yet let go of the Li family in Longxi. As long as they are on guard, the children of the Li family will be blamed at every turn even if they become officials.
, it doesn’t help.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Li Zhiyun to the Imperial Academy, and she couldn't control other people that much. Just like Li Yuan, even if she blew some pillow wind, it wouldn't be able to help, and I'm afraid it would be counterproductive.
Wan has always been smart and knows her special status, so unlike others, she wants to exchange news with her family and find something else to rely on after the news is over.
She only stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere, which saved others and herself a lot of trouble.
Just like now, when listening to Li Xiuying speak, she was silent for the most part. Occasionally she said a few words, which were all trivial matters involving the palace, the emperor, etc., but she didn't say a word.
Li Xiuning didn't care about that and glared at Li Erniang, "Do you still want to live in the palace and never come out? Besides, the child is reading to the prince in the palace, why are you going to cause trouble? You thought it was before...
...If you say a sentence or a half wrong one day, you will feel better."
Li Xiuying has always been a little afraid of this girl. She was born as a mistress, she has led soldiers, controlled Qianniu Beishen Mansion, and now she is on speaking terms with the emperor. She cannot afford to offend her in any way.
Especially when she was in trouble some time ago, it was this younger sister who extended a helping hand. She was very grateful, so when she came to Li Sanniang's eyes, her fierce temper disappeared, and she did not dare to get angry even if she was scolded.
He just muttered, "What you said is unpleasant... I just want... to find a wife for my child."
When Mrs. Wan heard this, she couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking, "Does it take entering the palace to find a wife?"
Li Erniang and the emperor are old friends, so it's okay to want to get close to Jun Yan. Guanxi has always been open to the public, and with the years of war, there are more women and fewer men, which makes it even more powerful. This kind of thing is not unusual, but Dou Sanlang is afraid that he will not
Will you be satisfied?
At this time, Li Xiuning snorted, "It's hard to predict Xiaoci's future. How can he find a decent family now? Don't do anything wrong. You must discuss it with me in advance."
Li Xiuying nodded repeatedly and said, "Sometime ago, the Dou family came and wanted to ration their daughter to their children. I didn't agree. They are ruthless and unjust, and it makes people upset just to see them..."
Li Xiuning interrupted her and asked directly, "Whose daughter is it?"
Li Xiuying thought for a while, "She is the granddaughter of the former Right Guard General Pei Hongce, Duke of Huaiyi County, and her father is Pei Xingfang, Marquis of Guiyi..."
After hearing this for a moment, Wan Shi said, "Pei Hongce...has been dead for many years, right?"
Pei Hongce and Li Xiuning naturally knew that he was her uncle, who was married to the sister of her mother, Empress Taimu, and her granddaughter happened to be the same generation as Dou Xiaoci.
Pei Hongce was born in the Pei family in Hedong and had a fierce temperament. Later, because he was defeated by the rebels and was suspected of disobedience, he was killed by Fan Zigai.
It's not unreliable. The Pei family in Hedong has the ability to follow the dragon, and their children are also very motivated. They work in various places and you can see them from time to time.
Former Sui Dynasty famous ministers Pei Ju, Pei Yun, etc. all enjoyed great fame. The current head of the family, Pei Shiqing, was now Jing Zhaoyin, and he was very trustworthy. After that, he became an official in the court and was as good as Wang Ze and others.
It was a very good marriage. The Dou family obviously wanted to make things right. Thinking of this, Li Xiuning couldn't help but glared at her sister again, making her shrink back in fear.
"After you go back, discuss it with your brother-in-law. If possible, why not decide on the marriage in advance? Do you really want to ignore it? There are many people in the Dou clan, and they originated from Fufeng. They will definitely be extremely prosperous in the future... I will offend you.
Just those few people cannot be generalized."
Li Xiuying reluctantly agreed. She hated Dou Yan and others so much that she always complained about her husband's troubles. It would be best to take over the position of Dou Yan's family head and live in the Dou family's main house.
Going away is called relieving one's anger.
Dou Jing left the capital some time ago. She was happy for a while after hearing the news. She felt that the emperor was supporting their family, and she felt even more confident.
Dou Guangda prides himself on being a man of seven feet, and he is not a soft-spoken man, but he also hates his brother for stabbing him in the back. His uncles turned a blind eye and fanned the flames, so now he is trying to make friends with Huang Pu Wuyi, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
And Huang Puwuyi was Dou Jing's political enemy. Without his help, Dou Jing's release would have been impossible.
