Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 241 The Beloved Father
After the imperial concubine's reward was delivered to the Sui Palace, Li Lijun and the people around her could feel that the attitude of the people around them had changed.

Not to mention the Sui Wang couple, Jin Ruren and Erfang's family were obviously very affectionate to Li Lijun. The second wife, Huang, even persuaded Li Lijun to get closer to the two elder brothers, saying that they had no sisters and always regarded her as their own sister. Look at it, it's just that she stayed in the countryside of Sanyuan for a long time, and they didn't have a chance to express themselves.

Li Dai did not go home that night when he met in Furong Garden, it is said that he went to drink and have fun with Yang Zhao and his group, and stayed in Xuanyangfang for two days before returning to Sui Palace.He told his father, King Sui, that he had established a good relationship with Yang Zhao, and there would be no problem with his official position.He was also very happy to learn that the concubine gave a lot of things to his little daughter, but he didn't take it too seriously.In his opinion, being in good touch with Yang Zhao would already ensure a smooth career in his official career, and it is not necessary to please the imperial concubine.

However, it is a good thing for the youngest daughter to be favored by the imperial concubine.He had originally hoped that his third daughter, Li Yanjun, would be able to win the concubine's affection through her appearance similar to her childhood playmate, but now that Li Yanjun failed, Li Lijun succeeded instead, and that was the same for him.He suddenly discovered that the youngest daughter was clever and quick-witted, even if she had a little temper, she was still cute.He began to care about whether Li Lijun was well-fed and well-dressed, and whether he needed a serious teacher to come back and teach her painting?Are there enough people to wait around?Does he need to call his confidant there?
Li Lijun, a child who had never been valued by him, seemed to suddenly become his most beloved daughter.He wanted to intervene in her daily life, and even planned to educate her himself so that she could be cultivated into the appearance that the imperial concubine likes most.Why go back to Sanyuan Bieye to keep filial piety?Don't even think about it!If the child does not live in Chang'an, how can he go to the palace to please the imperial concubine?

Li Lijun wished that his scumbag father would stop "loving" him so much.Not to mention that she wants to go back to Sanyuan right now, even if she is living normally in the Sui Palace, the so-called confidant servants around Li Dai will come out from time to time to please her.She ran to practice in the garden every day before sunrise, and almost ran into someone several times.These people seem to be eyeing the position of her servants, and some people want to be in charge, pushing her staff aside and taking over the power by themselves, which is really annoying.

It was easy for Shi Qing and the others to inquire about news in the palace, but now they always receive the attention of the people around them, so it is not so convenient to do things.

Li Lijun thought about it, and felt that this was not going to work, so she said to Nanny Lu and the others: "We have finished all the things we should do when we return to Chang'an, so we should go back early? Otherwise, we will not be able to survive this day!"

Nanny Lu actually wants to stay in Chang'an until Zhao Chenji's accounts for the first quarter of this year are settled, so that her brother, Shopkeeper Lu, doesn't have to make a special trip to Sanyuan to deliver the accounts. A little selfishness will delay the business, so she said: "Young lady is the master."

The people around Li Lijun began to make preparations for returning to Mount Saga.Nanny Lu made a special trip to Zhao Chenji's main store in Dongshi, and reported to Li Lijun when she came back: "Master Hezheng has sent someone to pick up some new materials, and they didn't have much, but they have agreed to buy them in the future. We will come and go frequently, let us encounter any problems that are not easy to solve, just go to her. If the little lady has difficulties that are difficult to tell the elders in the family, she can also go to her. She is about to get married and move out of the palace Live, it will be much more convenient to contact in the future.”

Li Lijun blinked: "Is Princess Hezheng so kind? I don't seem to know her very well..."

Mother Lu thinks that this is a good thing: "When my wife was still alive, she also took care of the female family members who had difficulties in the clan. A few years ago, something happened to the Wei family, and the East Palace and Concubine Wei reconciled. In the forbidden Buddhist house. Her elder sister is Concubine Xue, the mother of the heir to King Xue, Li Wei. She was implicated by her uncle's family and exiled to Yelang. Concubine Xue had a difficult life in Chang'an, and the wife often helped her in private. Zhao Chenji recognized her. The caravan going to the southwest also quietly helped Concubine Xue deliver letters and items to her heir King Xue. Probably this matter was known to Princess Hezheng. Although she was not born by Concubine Wei, she was raised by Concubine Wei. I miss the kindness of my wife in my heart. She used to live in the East Palace, and she had many taboos, so it was not convenient to do anything. Now that she is going to get married, she excuses that the little lady is poor and needs help. arouse suspicion."

Li Lijun's mood was a bit complicated: "It turned out that it was my mother's good deeds that brought me shelter." It's not easy to publicize such things, as long as they know it in their own hearts.However, Li Lijun thinks that he has nothing to help, so he just maintains a plain and friendly friendship with Princess Hezheng, which can be regarded as attracting a distinguished guest to Zhao Chenji.

Zhao Chenji's accounting problem has been solved. Li Lijun felt that he could ask his elders to leave, so he ran to see King Sui.

As soon as she arrived in front of the main courtyard, she saw Concubine Dou standing motionless in the courtyard and looking in the direction of the study, not knowing what was wrong.She walked over and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, why are you standing here? Be careful if the wind blows and catch a cold."

Concubine Dou raised her index finger and gave a "hush" sound: "Don't talk, the prince is teaching you aye."

Li Lijun looked towards the study curiously, through the opened door, he saw his father Li Dai standing in the room with his head lowered and his back to the door, unable to see the expression on his face, while his grandfather Sui Wang was sitting in a chair On his face, he reprimanded something with a serious expression.His voice was not loud, he was probably trying to save face for his eldest son who had always been valued by him, and he didn't want too many people to hear what he scolded his son.But Li Dai wanted to turn around and leave several times, but he was reprimanded by him to stay.

Concubine Dou said in a low voice: "You, Aye, have been acting more and more absurdly recently. After being praised for a few good words, you can't tell the difference between east and west, and you are at the mercy of outsiders. I advise the prince, don't let him go any longer. The prince thinks he loves you My son, but I don't know that letting him into a catastrophe, which can never be undone, is actually harming him! As long as the child can live out his life in peace and stability, and enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of his life, even if he scolds him a few more times How? A little unhappiness, how can it compare with a lifetime of peace?"

Li Lijun asked in a low voice: "Ah Weng accepted Grandma's suggestion?"

Concubine Dou chuckled: "He can only accept it, he can't really watch his beloved eldest son die?! He is the brother of the saint, and he is very clear about the taboos and preferences of the saint. You aye First, he intended to plot against the concubine, and then he offended the concubine's sisters. He was so stupid that he believed that the concubine's brother would make friends with him. It would not be long before he fell into the pit dug by others. If the prince doesn't intervene as soon as possible, is it really true? Do you want to watch the Sui King's throne fall into my son's hands?!"

Li Lijun was silent for a while, feeling that he didn't need to get involved in this kind of thing: "Grandma, my son came here today to make a request to Ah Weng, planning to go back to Saga Mountain Bieye. My son came to Beijing to see the imperial concubine, and now I have finished seeing you. It's time to go back."

Concubine Dou turned her head to look at her in surprise: "You want to go back? Are you uncomfortable at home?"

Li Lijun smiled: "There is nothing uncomfortable, but I am used to the quiet life in the countryside, and I think Chang'an is too lively."

Concubine Dou was thoughtful: "Is it because some people in the mansion make you unhappy? Forget it, just leave if you want, I will tell the prince. It's just that when you go to Sanyuan, remember to draw a picture and send it back from time to time , so that I can do business with the imperial concubine."

Li Lijun pursed her lips and smiled and said in a low voice: "Then thank you grandma, I will leave first." He left quickly so as not to be seen by his father Li Dai.
