Chapter 799 Filial Piety
Knowing what happened, but unable to recover from the depression, these days weighed heavily on his heart, sitting on the railing of the study on the second floor, he wanted to take advantage of the cool autumn wind to blow away his unhappiness and have a good meal However, he just wanted Li Huanzhi to sit in the study room across the courtyard to eat, and there was a hint of playfulness in his silly eyes, which made him even more unable to eat, and made his whole person even worse.

The two cross courtyards were deliberately built in the same shape at the time, with the potential to correspond to dragons and tigers. According to the design of the waterside corridors in between, they originally meant that brothers would support each other...

Right now, I have nothing but shock to him!

In particular, Mrs. Hou kept nagging in his ears about how difficult it was for Li Ze to be sent to Zhiyun Island and come back with such a serious injury. He came to the side at mealtime to give orders.

"Ze'er no longer has the money to compete with you for the position of son." Madam Hou sat on the opposite table and choked up several times, wiping her tears with sobs, and said half-heartedly: "Huan'er, after Ze'er It's all up to you."

Her temples are gray and black dyed blue silk, with a gorgeous gold and silver hair, and her soft and plump face is not difficult to understand that she has lived a very rich life in these years. The words "Fushou" are looming, and even the embroidered shoes on the feet are extremely extravagant.

"Mother, you know all about the son you mentioned." Li Ze was so impatient that he didn't dare to be disobedient. How would he distribute the care and love that he had never received in his life to Li Huanzhi?
Hearing his mother's non-stop chanting, Li Ze's head really hurt. He raised his eyes and looked back at the second idiot who was walking happily in the courtyard. Send it back to the Hou Mansion?

Is it really just to scare him off?
According to what she knew about the girl from the Pei family, it was absolutely impossible for her to do things that were of no benefit to many parties. What was her plan this time?
With tears hanging from the corners of Madam Hou's eyes, she asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Isn’t it because of the fight for power and profit that the Duke’s family closed the door? At the beginning, they did not hesitate to send the twins away because they were concerned about this matter. They also thought about sending the children back to Zhiyun Island. When the son grows up, he can use the power of the island in a timely manner. Who would have expected that the son will eventually return to his side...

"Mother, why don't you worry about me?" Li Ze's thin lips drew a calm arc, and said gently, "Because of the third younger brother's sudden return to Beiyong, the elder sister knelt at the gate of the Chengfeng Hall for several days and did not get the Holy Majesty. Summoned, I think the Holy Majesty is concerned about this matter, mother should find time to visit the eldest sister in the palace! I'm afraid I'll cry like tears."

Mrs. Hou was slightly taken aback, yes!She forgot about it!
All these years, my daughter has kept her own life in order to survive until the third prince grows up. If she is asked about the past crimes at this time, all the plans of these years will be ruined...

Prosperity and wealth are about to come, how could she not be tempted?

If the third prince can successfully become the crown prince, why would he need Emperor Yongde in front of him?
How long can an emperor who lives by great luck continue to dance?

Although Ze'er was stupid, the person who planned to put him on the throne is still in front of him!
It's true that the daughter is being bullied by the empress right now, but when the grandson ascends to the throne in the future, what can the empress do alone?Isn't the harem still letting the daughter be the master?
Mrs. Hou's originally tear-filled eyes quickly changed, and her aura returned to the high-spirited spirit in her blood. She frowned heavily and said to her son: "Your elder sister is a smart person. She knows what to do. Help her well." Settling the affairs outside the palace is the greatest help."

"My son knows." Li Ze has seen his mother's mentality clearly these days, and feeds each child with sugar-coated sugar coating that wraps the overall situation, hoping to resolve the disappointment of not being able to be the person next to the old emperor many years ago. .

Sending her daughter into the palace as a concubine as she wished was not enough to appease her extravagant imagination, because Concubine Shu had never been able to enter Emperor Yongde's heart, and even Empress Xiao Li who later became his successor severely scolded her daughter.

At the beginning, she wanted to marry the royal family with all her heart, but in the end she married into the Zhongyonghou Mansion and became a noble wife, just because the title of madam can comfort the regret of not being able to become a concubine.

Standing up to watch his mother leave, Li Ze felt an indescribable soreness in his heart.

Who would have thought that there was still a trace of fantasy in his heart, could his mother recognize him...

……

Chengfeng Hall

After the autumnal equinox, the evening breeze comes slowly and the autumn atmosphere is strong. This year's autumn frost came very early. The few green plants outside the hallway outside the hall were already covered with rime after nightfall.

Concubine Li Shu was not afraid of the cold, wrapped in thin pajamas, knelt on the brick road outside the hall, and from time to time weakly called to the Holy Majesty, hoping to win a little sympathy but failed.

She has spent more than twenty years leisurely in the palace, when did she end up like this?

But in just a few days, the originally graceful and attractive plump figure has become emaciated, and a few layers of skin flakes have been removed from the lips that have not drank for a long time. How can there be such an indescribable bearing?
However, the people in the palace didn't put their minds on her at all, they closed the palace door tightly, no matter old or young, everyone passed the time with a hand of leaf cards. With red marks, not to mention the few old friends who played with her, Yan Xie didn't escape either!
It completely explained the reason why people don't get stabbed when they are floating in the rivers and lakes. Afterwards, whoever is kneeling outside, holding the leaf card is more red-eyed than being killed on the battlefield...

However, as the weather got colder and the wind became stronger as it got darker, Li Ying finally didn't give up. She tilted her head and told Li Chun to bring a few words, and prepare a fox fur cloak for Concubine Li Shu along the way.

"Tsk tsk, after all, you are the one to soften your heart first!" Yan Sheng kept shaking his head, not forgetting to throw another card in his hand, and took the opportunity again.

"She's not clear about her mind, so she can't just hang around at the gate of my palace, right?" Li Ying glanced at her son angrily, and was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, "The person who should speak out should not speak out, but Blame it on me? Do you still understand filial piety?"

I couldn't find a reason to repair my son, so I could only use the leaf card to repair it a few more times, otherwise, who should I send the anger of being kneeling and crying at the gate of the hall for days and nights?

After all, Concubine Li Shu is also a very caring master, otherwise how could she have been quiet in this palace for so many years?

The apology is also sure that Emperor Yongde will not pursue the matter of the twins more, it is purely to dissuade her, the queen!

"If you don't understand filial piety, why would you come to accompany your mother?" Emperor Yongde smiled so courteously, he didn't forget to point to his forehead and said, "Isn't this a chance for my mother to vent her anger?"

The corners of Li Ying's mouth twitched as she watched, indeed, the others spared him out of face, it didn't look like she was in real pain every time.

"Besides, the queen mother has given her a few chances, she is the one who insists on not leaving, what's the matter..."
