Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Really?" Concubine Di stroked Defang's hair crown, "The prince stopped in the mansion that night, and all the candles were saved."

Defang smiled and helped Concubine Di to sit down, "I will shine for my wife, hehehe"

Concubine Di gestured to Defang, only then did Defang think of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li, and turned around to support them, "Thank you two ladies, come and sit down."

"Thank you, my lord." When Wang and Li took their seats, Defang poured tea for them, and then waved, "Congrong, Xinqi, come and have some snacks."

"Yes, grandpa (grandpa)" the four-year-old grandson Cong Rong and grandson Xinqi ran over, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li hugged them with snacks.

Defang touched the faces of the two children and said, "Madam, Master Kou also wrote in his letter that he heard that something happened in the Liao Kingdom."

"Something happened? What happened?"

"The Queen Mother Xiao imprisoned her own sister."

"What? Why?"

"Her sister tried to contact the late husband's old department to plot against her, but Han Derang sent her to arrest her before she raised her troops.

"Her husband...isn't Song Wang Yelu Xiyin?"

"Yes"

"No way, Yelu Xiyin has been dead for more than [-] years, why would she want to rebel at this time?"

"The former Ministry that followed Yelu Xiyin and his son Yelu Liulishou was implicated in the incidents of the past, and those who committed minor crimes were demoted. Most of the others were beheaded or demoted. In the past two years, some generals were reinstated. But they are very humble, and are often ridiculed by others. How can these people who have made great contributions to the war endure such humiliation, so they contacted each other and found Yelu Xiyin's widow, who is the sister of Empress Dowager Xiao Xiao Yilelan, Xiao Yi Although Lelan is the older sister of Empress Dowager Xiao, but because of the great age difference between them, they rarely communicate with each other since childhood, so their family relationship is very weak. Ever since the death of Yelu Xiyin and his son, Empress Dowager Xiao has not taken good care of her sister, so Yilelan Xiao has long since died. Dissatisfied, the old department came to support her, and she readily agreed, but she came and went quickly, and was discovered by the people sent by Han Derang to monitor her before she could make a plan."

"If my concubine remembers correctly, Yelu Xiyin and his son died because of conspiracy."

"Ma'am, I remember correctly, that's true. Speaking of which, this Yelu Xiyin is also of great status, but he is too arrogant and conceited, and he will suffer the consequences of falling into that situation."

"I heard that their father and son were gifted to death by Yeluxian."

"Yes, Yeluxian is Yeluxiyin's nephew. He is the emperor's uncle, but he rebelled twice. His crime is unforgivable."

"He is already an important minister of the court, why should he fight again, isn't the prince enough?"

"Desires are hard to fill"

Concubine Di looked at the third wife Wang and the fourth wife Wang and asked, "You two younger sisters, don't you seem to like these things very much?"

"No no, ma'am," Wang said softly, "The concubine and the body know very little about the affairs outside the mansion, some... can't understand."

"That's true, don't talk about the outside of the mansion, I'm afraid I don't know much about the affairs inside the mansion. My lord, why don't you talk more about it."

"Oh?" Defang looked at Mrs. Wang, "The two ladies are also interested in listening?"

Wang Shi and Li Shi nodded lightly, and Concubine Di said, "My lord, although the two younger sisters are also the daughters of generals, but they have lived in the backyard for a long time, and many things are difficult to know. Why don't you talk more about it in the future, my lord."

Defang smiled, "In the past, I only told my wife, but now I tell the three ladies, is it possible to drink three servings of stewed soup?"

"Okay." Concubine Di looked at Li Shi and Wang Shi and smiled, "Let's stew something different, let the prince drink more, so that he can drink less."
