Chapter 747： talent

  Li Jinghua didn't have time to pay attention to the lawsuit between the Mu family and the Shu family until Concubine Xian entered the palace. Li Jinghua was also a little curious.

When Qi Xiuyuan came to her place to eat, he smiled and said, "A Ling doesn't seem to like the Shu family."

She noticed it five years ago, but she thought that Mu Yangling was for herself, but considering this incident, I'm afraid things are not that simple.

Qi Xiuyuan knew Shu Wanniang's identity when Mu Shi enlisted in the army, and he also guessed what the Shu family did to Shu Wanniang and the Mu family. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced around, and waited until all the maids and maids had retired. : "The Mu Shu family came from the fourth room of the Shu family. When Mu Shi entered the military, it was the hands and feet of the Shu family. Don't worry about this matter, let them solve it on their own, and it will be almost the same when they are out of anger."

Li Jinghua was taken aback, "This, how much hatred is this?"

A cold light flashed in Qi Xiuyuan's eyes, and he said, "The matter was done by the fourth house of the Shu family, and the other children of the Shu family who are officials in the dynasty are still useful, but they were attached to Qin Fang and committed a lot of things. If they are sincere If I make a correction, I don't know about those things, and if I do it again, I don't mind the new and old accounts being calculated together."

The old account that Qi Xiuyuan said was that Xiaobao was born prematurely.

Li Jinghua nodded slightly, and called Mu Yangling into the palace to see her the next day. She has not moved in these years, which does not mean that she has forgotten what happened back then. It was indeed her unlucky years. Shirk, after so many years, although she will not like them, she will not hate them too much.

But now that there is a chance to make the Shu family unhappy, she naturally wants to intervene.

So she hoped that Mu Yangling would take her with her when she was angry, as long as she could help, just speak up.

Mu Yangling saw that she did not shy away from the emperor, so he knew that Li Jinghua was not going to make big moves, so he slapped the Shu family in the face, and nodded in response.

Before he left, he saw that she had lost a lot of weight, so he took her hand and said, "Next year, the palaces will have newcomers one after another. How is your body doing?"

Li Jinghua smiled bitterly and said, "The imperial doctor said it a year ago, but I am not pregnant yet, I think I will only be a little treasure in this life."

This year, if Qi Xiuyuan did not live in the main hall and study, he would come to her and live like an ordinary married couple. In the past three months, Qi Xiuyuan has obviously become more concerned about sexual affairs. Li Jinghua vaguely guessed that he also wanted to give Xiaobao is a direct brother, so that he can be more helpful. After all, the Li family shows weakness and can't give Xiaobao much help.

But even with such frequent intercourse, she is also pregnant every year. Li Jinghua has given up now and no longer desires to have another child.

Thinking of this, Li Jinghua sighed faintly again, and said, "The emperor has few heirs, I'm afraid it will be bad for the country. When you look back, you can help me to see if there are any strong and well-bred girls among the officials below, and give me a list... "

Mu Yangling looked at her in awe, and said, "Why would I look at that?"

"That's true," Li Jinghua said worriedly, "but all the daughters of officials who are sent to the palace are the daughters of officials, and it's not easy for me to ask the imperial physician to take their pulse."

Mu Yangling whispered: "You can find a doctor, but does the emperor know about this?"

Li Jinghua smiled and said, "The choice of the concubine is a matter of the harem, so there is no need to notify the emperor."

Mu Yangling looked at her in disbelief.

Li Jinghua just nodded her forehead and said with a low laugh: "You, you are smart but dull. The list that can get to my hand will naturally pass the emperor's hand first."

Whose daughters can enter the palace, and whose daughters can't enter, naturally the emperor first selects the list before handing over the list to the queen. As for the number of those who can stay, it is up to the queen to choose.

In fact, Qi Xiuyuan doesn't like to use the harem system to hold the front court. This will easily lead to the seizure of the heir and the harem and the royal family. Li Jinghua also knows Qi Xiuyuan well, and knows that in the end it must be delivered to her by officials with few real powers. daughter.

And what she has to do is to choose a concubine for Qi Xiuyuan who has a good character and appearance and is easy to raise, so as to spread the branches and leaves.

Although the selection of concubines will not start until the spring of next year, the emperor and the empress are now beginning to screen the list. The ladies in Beijing know this, and they are very active recently, just hoping that they can enter the eyes of the emperor or the empress.

But the Li family has a way that others don't have. After the concubine Xian entered the palace, the emperor still rested more in the Kunning Palace, and the concubine Xian was also favored, but it would not surpass the queen in the short term.

However, there are too few concubines in the harem. There are only two of them. There is really no comparison. Both the queen and the concubine are very beautiful. Therefore, officials who want to send their daughters to the palace should have their daughters lower in appearance than the queen and the concubine. Not too embarrassed to take it out.

So, recently, some beautiful little girls who are gentle like water, or cool and noble, or cute and lovely are active in the capital, but the two little girls that Li Jian brought into the palace are all docile and obedient types, although they look like Beautiful, but a little cowardly standing below, not very colorful.

Li Jinghua sneered, thinking that she would let them enter the palace if she was obedient?

The Li family can only have her in the harem. If there are more, not only will the emperor be bored, but she is no longer the only one in the Li family. She will let them enter the palace only when she is dazed.

But Li Jian felt that Li Jinghua would not be pregnant again, and the eldest prince had few helpers. If the Li family could enter again and give birth to a prince, it would only be good for the eldest prince in the future, not bad.

There is no harm in this, it is just Li Jian’s words to coax people.

Seeing that Li Jian led people out of sight, Li Jinghua sneered, and Li Chi sat in the wheelchair and said with a smile: "Queen, don't worry, the Li family has no foundation in the capital, everything depends on you, the second uncle is the oldest. The heart has to be closed at this time.”

Li Jinghua let out a breath and said, "Brother, the Li family is now relying on me, but what about ten or twenty years from now?"

Li Chi said with a smile, "The first prince will have grown up by then, so naturally you don't have to worry."

Li Jinghua asked: "When Xiaobao grows up, won't our mother and son not need the emperor's favor?"

Li Chi was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, Li Jinghua pointedly said: "All this is given by the emperor, and he can naturally take it back."

"What Niangniang said was that I was short-sighted." Li Chi bowed slightly and looked at his younger sister, who was still young, and had to admit that she had grown a lot.

"So, the Li family will never allow a second woman to enter the palace." Li Jinghua's eyes flashed coldly, and she said firmly.

If there are two women from the Li family in the harem, the balance will be broken. She knows her husband, he won't like it, and even taking her will be disgusted by him.

Li Jinghua looked at the elder brother's leg and said, "Brother, the emperor doesn't know much about some etiquette, but you are well-informed and knowledgeable. I remember that you have almost rummaged through our Li family's collection of books."

Li Chi smiled and said, "I knew what you were thinking when you wrote to me. This time I didn't come empty-handed, and I also brought a carload of books."

Li Jinghua's eyes flashed brightly, and said, "You can stay for dinner that night, the emperor has always wanted to see you."

Really thought she wrote to let Li Jian come to the capital to win him over? Her goal was never Li Jian and the few Li family children he brought, but her own amazing and talented brother. Her brother was once a genius of the Li family and the first heir to the Li family. He had to live in seclusion because of his broken legs, and had to hide his talents.
