Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 223
Li Lijun thought about the information for a while, and suddenly had a guess.

Could it be that Li Yanjun was born like a noble concubine's old friend?Similar age, similar looks, and similar clothes, maybe the imperial concubine will remember this old friend when they meet, and thus love Li Yanjun and Wu?
Considering that Xiao Yang had a good relationship with Mrs. Qin in the past, and often took her daughter to please her, maybe it was Mrs. Qin who said something.

I just don't know, who will this old man be?
Li Yanjun is only a few months older than Li Lijun, and is not yet ten years old.If it is a girl who is about the same age as her, and is wearing a style of dress that was popular in Sichuan more than 20 years ago, then there is a high probability that she is the sister or relative of the imperial concubine, right?
The imperial concubine has several sisters, which are recorded in history books.Mrs. Han is the eldest sister, Mrs. Guo is the third sister, and Mrs. Qin is the eighth sister.Except for these three sisters, either died young or were cousins, the relationship with the imperial concubine is obviously not as close as these three sisters, and it is even more impossible to grow up with the imperial concubine in Shu.

The noble concubine lost her father at the age of ten, and then she was fostered in the home of her third uncle in Luoyang until she was chosen as the concubine of Shou Wang.If she had only met her relatives and friends after she moved to Luoyang, she probably wouldn't be wearing the styles that are popular in Sichuan.

Little Gao Lishi's younger sister would wear this dress when she was a child, because their mother was from the middle of Sichuan.In the Zhifang embroidery workshop under the name of Zhao Chenji, there are many embroiderers and brocade weavers from Shu, almost all of whom were found through the old lady of the Zhao family.

Considering that the imperial concubine only passed her 20th birthday last year, when this dress was popular in central Sichuan more than [-] years ago, she was probably still a child under ten years old.Could that little girl similar to Li Yanjun be her childhood playmate?
Li Lijun has no way to inquire about this kind of information, but she knows who has it.

She went to see Li Chujun again, and did not mention the source of her news, only that her subordinates had inquired that Li Yanjun had made a new suit, including the matching embroidered headband, all of which were styles that were popular in Sichuan more than 20 years ago. .

Li Lijun pretended to be puzzled and asked Li Chujun: "The third sister also told the embroiderers that she was going to wear this dress on an important occasion, and asked the embroiderers to make it carefully and quickly. I think it will be possible in the near future." It can be called an important occasion, that is, the meeting of the noble concubine, right? At that time, Aye was thinking that I would bring the third sister to meet the noble concubine, so the third sister specially prepared such a suit of clothes. But she Why do you have to dress up like this?"

Li Chujun knew about this a long time ago, and he also had the same question. He couldn't come up with an answer at this time, and he didn't want to say anything more to Li Lijun: "She can dress up as she pleases. Anyway, she can't go now. , what are you asking about these things?!"

Li Lijun didn't pick up her words, but continued to analyze on her own: "I suspect that Mrs. Qin once said something when she met the third sister, such as who she looks like. Is the imperial concubine the empress?" Doesn't she care about this person? If she sees the third sister who looks and dresses like this person, will she feel pity for the third sister? If the third sister can really please the imperial concubine, even if she doesn't get an official position for Aye , Aye will also regard her as his darling."

Li Lijun paused, and looked at Li Chujun: "As the third sister, we will have a hard time. I can still hide in Sanyuan, where can the eldest sister hide?"

Li Chujun said with a dark face: "Don't scare me here! No matter what kind of person the third child is born, it is no big deal if he can please the imperial concubine. A fake is a fake. No matter how similar she looks, she is not that person, otherwise Mrs. Qin has held her in her hands long ago, how could she just sit and watch her being confined for half a year without making a sound?!"

Li Lijun blinked: "Perhaps Mrs. Qin doesn't pay much attention to this person, but the imperial concubine does. Anyway, I think the third sister seems very confident. She racked her brains to accompany me to see the imperial concubine." , without even thinking about the possibility that the imperial concubine would treat her coldly because of her biological mother, probably thinking that as soon as the imperial concubine sees her, she will put everything else aside?"

Li Chujun pursed his lips and remained silent, in fact, he had already listened to Li Lijun's words.

Seeing this, Li Lijun didn't say much anymore, and went straight to leave, but caught a glimpse of a maid with an unfamiliar face standing by the door, looking at her and Li Chujun and sisters with flickering eyes.Her heart moved, and she said: "Anyway, before the Shangsi Festival comes, the third sister will definitely try to persuade Aye to let her go with me to see the imperial concubine. I don't care what the third sister uses, anyway, if you don't agree, you will be fine." It's over. I'm really in a hurry. When I'm in front of the imperial concubine, don't think I'll say anything nice about her! The imperial concubine wants to see me, and she's just a cheeky stalker. Do you still expect me to smooth things over for her? Aye blamed me afterwards, and I won't give in! Instead of being disgusted by her, I might as well tell Aweng that I want my second sister to be my companion!"

She put on a firm posture and went back, and was sent to the west courtyard by Li Dai that night.When they arrived at the place, both Li Chujun and Li Yanjun were there, and there was a maid kneeling on the ground, who was the same face she had seen during the day.

Li Dai angrily pointed at the maid and questioned Li Lijun: "This maid testified that you discussed with your elder sister, and that she would never seek an official position for your father in front of the noble concubine, and would even speak ill of your father, what's going on? !"

Li Lijun looked at Li Chujun calmly, the latter still had an expression of disbelief at this moment, staring at the maid's back, his eyes were about to burst into flames, obviously he didn't expect the people around him to betray the master, right?

Li Lijun was not in a hurry, because the maid's accusation was completely groundless, and the addition of oil and vinegar had changed the original taste.But Li Chujun suffered a loss this time, so he should know how to reflect and learn lessons, right?All her subordinates are servants from the Yang family. She can use this relationship to inquire about Li Yanjun's secrets, and Li Yanjun can naturally use this relationship to plot against her.If Li Chujun is smart, he should learn to train people from outside the Yang family.Relying on her natal family for everything, she will never be able to escape the control of the Yang family.

Li Lijun said to Li Dai: "I didn't say that, why did this servant girl fabricate a lie to slander my son?"

"Yes, we didn't say that!" Li Chujun said angrily, "This damn girl was ordered to pour dirty water on my head!" As he spoke, he gave Li Yanjun a hard look.

Li Yanjun showed a scared expression, with tears in her eyes, as if she had been greatly wronged, and she was about to cry at any moment.

Li Dai seemed to have lost his mind at this time, blindly doubting the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter: "I have already greeted Mrs. Guo Guo, and Li Niang will have a sister with her. Li Niang refuses to let Yan Niang as a companion, but she looks for her every day. You big sister, didn’t you discuss this matter? If not, why do you meet every other day?!”

Li Lijun said: "Didn't Aye say that everything is going well in a harmonious family, so let's not quarrel with the sisters again? The son and the third sister can shake hands and make peace under Aye's persuasion despite the hatred of killing their mother. There is no enmity with Eldest Sister, it is just that there is some misunderstanding because of Xiao Yang's instigation, so why can't they reconcile? They all acted according to Aye's words, is there anything wrong?!"

Li Dai choked for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be other possibilities for the two daughters to meet, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Li Lijun took the opportunity to say: "The third sister sued again, right? The third sister promised to reconcile with her son in front of the whole family that day and never slander her in front of the elders again, but she filed a lawsuit within two days." Hei, as expected, she can't believe what she said. No wonder God couldn't see it, and wanted to strike her with lightning!"

Speaking of that thunder, Li Yanjun was at a loss for words, struggling to explain: "I didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Lijun: "Shut up! Be careful that there will be thunder again in a while!"

Li Yanjun was choked immediately.
