Splendid concubine

Chapter 123
"Then me?" Liu Ruyi looked at the second prince.

"All kinds of banquets are held in every mansion. This is a good opportunity to enter the mansion. If Red Sandalwood spreads the word and is willing to participate in the banquet, it is estimated that many mansions are willing to invite it. If there is a problem with the mansion, it can be caught. .” The second prince said seriously.

"Is there any more?" Liu Ruyi frowned and thought, this job is not easy, but, although tied to the same boat with the imperial concubine and the princess, if she is useless, she will be abandoned in the end, why not do more things, In her heart, she was still willing to do it.

"I'll give you a list later, including the backbone of other parties. Of course, there must be something wrong with them, and they won't be innocent enough to pick out the mistakes." The second prince explained.

"Now that I am in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, these people are not eliminating dissidents, they are eliminating harm for the people. The people in my hands are being watched to death. You two women have not attracted their attention when they investigate."

The second prince was afraid that Liu Ruyi would disagree, so he quickly added a sentence, and said with a mocking smile, "Those big officials all underestimate women."

Liu Ruyi smiled, "Second Highness, you don't need to tell me this, I, the imperial concubine, and Zitan are always on the same boat."

After hearing this, the second prince laughed.

"Your Highness and Zitan haven't seen each other for a while, let's talk about it." Liu Ruyi turned and went out, closed the door of the Nuan Pavilion, and sat in the main hall with her maid.

What was said in it, but there was no sound, and Liu Ruyi didn't want to think about it, but it was Mu Zitan who said it. The princes started to participate in political affairs, and they couldn't figure out the direction for a while.

The prince in memory ran through his mind.

The eldest prince, also known as the crown prince, was born to the current empress, named Xiao Mofan, obviously, it is impossible to be on the same side as him.

The second prince is Xiao Moli.

The third prince formed a school of his own, his mother was a virtuous concubine in the palace, and his mother's family was also from the very powerful Duke Cheng's mansion, named Xiao Mocheng.

The fourth prince is disabled. He fell from a rockery when he was a child and limped a leg. He can't fight for the throne, but he just follows the prince wholeheartedly. His mother's family is also friendly with the Empress Dowager's Mo family, and his name is Xiao Nianjia.

The fifth prince concentrates on his writings and doesn't like power, so he doesn't need to worry if he doesn't see him easily.

The sixth prince is very sick and has a serious heart disease. He is not destined for the throne, but he doesn't stop. He is vacillating among the eldest prince, second prince, and third prince.

After that is the Seventh Prince Mo Qi, the child born in Leng Gong is the least valued, but he is very ambitious, and he is not yet an adult, so he is not considered a threat.

It's just that the prince who is about to grow up and is in charge of errands, and there are many people in the harem and the previous court, all of a sudden, Liu Ruyi's head is getting bigger, simply, not all of them.

In Liu Ruyi's view, the faction of the third prince is not a threat, but the alliance between the prince and the fourth prince needs to be considered, and they are the main ones to deal with.

It was almost noon, the second prince and Mu Zitan came out, Liu Ruyi hurriedly asked the maids to prepare a meal.

Because the second prince came, the kitchen was extraordinarily attentive, before Liu Ruyi could order, the cook in the kitchen came to ask for instructions, and brought up a bunch of special dishes.

When it was on the table, Mu Zitan had eaten all the good things that he hadn't seen in the Liu Mansion for so many days, and now they were all on the table.

"Lychee meat, steamed pork, roast duck, pine nut belly, roast meat... Wow, this is not fair, I am also a princess after all, and the cook in Liu's kitchen is clearly neglecting me. I have been here for so many days, and she didn't even give me food. These." Mu Zitan held his mouth and was about to cry.

"I haven't eaten it either." Liu Ruyi said unwillingly from the side.

"If you don't go to the palace, the food in the palace is better than this, and the imperial chefs are all famous chefs from all over the country." The second prince smiled.

"Let's go to the palace for dinner tomorrow."

Mu Zitan looked at Liu Ruyi with bright eyes, "Come back after eating."

"Then your father, mother and concubine should be happy. Unexpectedly, the princess was not tempted by anything else, but the food from the royal chef. I don't know how depressed your father, mother and concubine must be." Liu Ruyi smiled bluntly. .

The meal passed quickly, and after the meal, the second prince said a few more words before leaving.

Holding the list given by the second prince, Liu Ruyi compared it carefully, "It's a bit difficult, Linglong, go and inquire, see if any of these families on the list are holding any parties recently, let the wind out, and say princess I'm bored, and I want to go out to have fun, but the princess is shy and timid, and doesn't know where to go to play."

Holding a fresh fruit, Mu Zitan smiled foolishly. Hearing what Liu Ruyi said, he was also happy and said, "I'm so happy to be able to help Li Li."

"There are many places where you can help in the future, but you only know how to eat, but don't know how to use your brain." Liu Ruyi taught.

"Oh, it's so tiring to grow your brains. Haven't you grown them? You can just borrow them from me." Mu Zitan said shamelessly.

After a while, Linglong came back and told Liu Ruyi, "Miss, tomorrow, Li Fanyin, the second lady of the Yushi doctor's family, is holding a banquet. Just after the news was released, the Li family sent an invitation."

"Fan Yin, the homonym is annoying, but it's fun. The second lady in his family is called Yinzi, and the eldest lady is called Jinzi? He's still a scholar, why did he have such a vulgar name?" Mu Zitan exclaimed.

"I know a little about this doctor Yushi."

Liu Ruyi put down the things in her hands, and said with great interest: "This Li family, don't tell me, it really was named by an uneducated person. The master of the Li family is called Li Jiashi, and he was admitted by a poor family. The names of the sons and daughters of the family are all married by the wife of the Li family." Liu Ruyi briefly introduced.

"Then Mrs. Li is still alive?" Mu Zitan asked quickly.

"Live naturally." Liu Ruyi looked down at the list.

"Then what did Mo Li want us to investigate?" Mu Zitan frowned, biting his lip and thinking.

"Master Li and Mrs. Li are fine, but it doesn't mean that other people are also fine. From the information I have, I think the second lady of the Li family was framed by someone. Let's do a good deed and help her. "Liu Ruyi turned to that page and circled it with a brush.

"What's going on?" Mu Zitan hurried over.

"That's right, Second Sister, what's the matter, I heard that you and the princess are going out, so I came here right away, take me out to play, I think I'm no worse than Linglong, I can help you." Speaking, Liu Jiaren also came in.

Call out as soon as you come in.

"We're not here to play." Mu Zitan had a fairly good impression of Liu Jiaren, and said quickly, and proudly raised his head, indicating that he is not a playful person, but a practical person.

"I can help, even if it's something like yesterday in Zhao's house, I can help. Second sister, look, didn't I make trouble before? Is it easy to wink? The servant girl is easier to use, but it also makes people pay less attention."

Seeing that Liu Ruyi didn't respond, Liu Jiaren quickly turned to Mu Zitan, folded her arms and said coquettishly, "Princess, let me go."

It was always Mu Zitan who acted like a baby to others, it was the first time someone acted like a baby to her, it was quite novel, and he agreed immediately.

After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and peeked at Liu Ruyi's face.

Liu Ruyi smiled and said: "I agreed, what do you want me to do? I didn't say that I wouldn't let go. The beauty is good, she's smart, she's pretty good, it just so happens that Da Furen is powerless and can't go out, so I also have the heart Take the younger sisters who have not left the pavilion to go out to see the world."

"Second Sister, you are the best." Liu Jiaren knew that she had to find Liu Ruyi after seeing Mu Zitan and Liu Ruyi's face, and she was very happy to hear that Second Sister agreed.

"Since you have entered this pit, you have to keep it a secret, otherwise I can't protect you, understand?" Liu Ruyi said to Liu Jiaren with a straight face.

"Understood, Second Sister, I can keep my mouth shut, not even my aunt or grandmother." Liu Jiaren quickly swore.

Looking at Liu Jiaren with satisfaction, Liu Ruyi nodded, "It's good to know. Tomorrow, we'll visit Dr. Li's house as a guest. From what I can see, the second lady of the Li family seems to have been deceived. Let's rescue her from the fire. "

"Wow, I feel that I am a person who upholds justice and eliminates violence." Liu Jiaren became more and more excited.

"It's about the same. Be smart, it's dangerous. I'll call Lingzhi from Liu Mengxue and use it for you first. Lingzhi's martial arts are good. If you see that it's not good, just shout loudly and run away. Is it? Safety is the most important thing, and there is always a way for other things." Liu Ruyi urged.

"Also, this one, each of you will get one." Liu Ruyi showed all the medicinal powder that Liu Ruyi worked out, and it was usable.

Even Linglong and Xiangyi, as well as Lingzhi and Fuling, a group of maids who came out of the palace, gave each of them a copy, "Come and ask for it after you use it up, it's all useful."

After finishing speaking, he introduced how to use these medicinal powders one by one.

Hearing this, the little girls were all amazed, even those who came out of the palace like Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos, who had been trained to be expressionless, loosened.

"Second sister, you are amazing."

"Miss, you are amazing." Liu Jiaren and Linglong said in unison.

Staring at Liu Ruyi with shining adoring eyes, Liu Ruyi felt a little stressed, "It's all done by Grandma Liu, so don't tell it, do you understand?"

"Don't say." Liu Jiaren nodded seriously.

"Go back and rest first. Let's go to Li's Mansion tomorrow morning. I still have things to do." Liu Ruyi dismissed the bright-eyed Liu Jiaren. When Liu Jiaren turned around and saw Linglong, who was the same age, she dragged Linglong out to mutter. .

Smiling and shaking her head, Liu Ruyi continued to look through the materials sent by the second prince, leaving Mu Zitan with Liu Jiaren, Linglong, who was not a princess at all, and went over to her after a while.

Maybe, if she could run into an old acquaintance, Liu Ruyi smiled slightly and asked someone to deliver a letter to Liu Mengxue, saying that the princess was going to be a guest at Li's mansion, and asked the third son if she was going.

As for whether the third son will go or not, isn't there no doubt about it?Unexpectedly, the third son not only went shopping in Huajie and Liuxiang, but also dared to provoke a woman from a good family.
