Chapter 578： The most ruthless in history

Chapter 578 The most ruthless person in history

Jianning Houfu?

“Oh, is this the cousin whom the queen sent to her adoptive father?” Jiayin reacted first and asked, “Second uncle, what is this girl’s name?”

Li Laoer thought for a while and said, "The Marquis was in a bad mood because of the placement of injured soldiers, and he was not too polite to the girl. The girl seemed sad. I looked pitiful and tried to persuade her, but the Marquis didn't do anything either. Let go.

“When I came back from my trip, I asked the chief steward. The chief steward said that this girl’s surname is Wu, her name is Bilian, and she is the legitimate daughter of the second wife of Jiangning Hou Mansion.”

Bilian, Wu Bilian?

Jiayin was stunned for a moment, then rolled on the mat with her belly in her arms, "Hahaha, Bilian, Wu Bilian! Who gave the girl this name? It's so careless?!"

Everyone looked at the fat girl rolling on the ground and really didn't understand why she was smiling like this.

Is there something wrong with this name?

Lotus is a noble flower that can emerge from the mud without being stained. Women often use this word.

Jiayin got up and rubbed the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then he looked at everyone's expressions and grimaced, "Am I the only one who knows this? Wow, life is so lonely."

Mrs. Li raised her hand and patted her granddaughter, hugged her and helped her to fix her dress and hair. She said angrily, "This girl is getting more and more crazy. It's just a name. Why is it so funny?"

Jiayin smiled and hugged her grandma's neck, and begged: "Grandma, when my sisters-in-law give birth to little nieces, they must not name them with words like lotus or tea, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'll let you name your little niece. It's settled." Mrs. Li couldn't do anything about her granddaughter, so she said casually.

At this time, the night was getting dark, and everyone went back to sleep after chatting for a few words.

But deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, the emperor and the queen, the most noble couple in the world, were not asleep yet.

The emperor is not considered a lecherous person, and there are only a dozen or so concubines in the entire harem.

As the head wife, the queen always has the opportunity to sleep with her twice a month.

Today is a rare occasion to welcome the emperor. Of course, the food is what the emperor likes to eat, the tea is also what the emperor is accustomed to drinking, and even the potted flowers in the room are peonies that the emperor likes.

The emperor was also in a good mood. The Duke of Zhenguo took care of the country's worries and donated the one hundred thousand taels of silver, and allocated most of it to the Ministry of Works to repair the river.

With tens of thousands taels left, he wanted to make a pension.

But in the court, those old foxes were blocking him with a bunch of excuses.

All the yamen are asking for money.

Earlier, they were worried about Xintinghou's expression, but in the past few days, seeing that Xintinghou didn't speak, they became bolder.

Some people even said that the Northern Expedition was not a victory because there were too many casualties.

However, how could they know that if they are jumping happily now, they will fall hard later.

Just thinking about the expressions on these people's faces as if they were struck by lightning when the news of the conscription is announced, the emperor couldn't help but want to laugh.

The queen was sitting opposite the emperor, and saw him holding a tea bowl with a smile on his lips, which was a little strange.

There must be no happy events in the court recently, right? !

But regardless of the reason, the emperor is in a good mood, which is a good opportunity for her. She thought for a while and sighed: "Your Majesty, today my concubine's mother came into the palace and told me that Lian'er did not want to marry the prince of Zhenguo and was seeking death in the palace. My grandfather and grandmother are so old. When I got older, I also had troubles and worries, and almost fell ill.

“I’m not saying that the emperor’s marriage is wrong, but... the prince of Zhenguo is really bad. He can’t do anything in literature or military, and he hangs around in brothels all day long..."

The emperor turned cold, put down the tea bowl, and asked calmly: "You are saying that the prince Zhen Guo is not worthy of your girl from the Jiangning Marquis Mansion, then who is worthy?"

The Queen couldn't tell whether the Emperor was angry or not, so she seemed to flinch, but after a moment of hesitation, she still said bravely: "Your Majesty, you have also met Lian'er. She is gentle, smart, and beautiful. She is really a good girl. It is rare. His temperament is also lively.

"The Marquis of Xinting has been busy with military affairs all day long, and there is no one in the palace to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is the best time to marry a girl like Lian'er. At least when he comes home after a busy day, he will have someone to talk to and eat, which will be more lively.

“Can the emperor withdraw his decree and let Lian’er not be married to the Duke of Zhenguo, but to marry the Marquis...”

She was interrupted by the emperor when she was halfway through speaking.

The emperor sneered and said: "Since Lian'er is such a good girl, she might as well enter the palace."

"No!" The queen subconsciously objected. Looking at the emperor's cold face, she hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I am not saying that you are not worthy of Lian'er. No, no, it is Lian'er that is not worthy of you... "

The emperor stood up directly and smiled sarcastically, "Queen, tell your family not to look at Shu! Otherwise, it won't be a troublesome thing if I change the queen!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Mr. Yi, who was guarding the door, glanced at the frightened and stunned queen in a hurry, and couldn't help but cursed "idiot" in his heart!

The emperor was rarely in a good mood, and it was ruined just like this.

Everyone in the world thought that Marquis Xinting was bent on regaining half of the country and had no intention of marrying a wife. Some even said that Marquis Xinting was drunk by the Li family, so he gave the Marquis Mansion to the little girl of the Li family.

Actually, he would say that Marquis Xinting is the real smart man.

The reason why all emperors have more trust in lonely ministers is because the lonely ministers are only loyal to the emperor and will not be affected by anything.

Hintinghou is the most ruthless. He not only wants to be a lonely minister, but also plans to be alone for the rest of his life.

The only people close to him, apart from the emperor, are a group of peasants with mud-legged backgrounds.

This group of farmers is more loyal than the rich and powerful. Even if they grow a melon or fruit, Le Diandian will bring it to the emperor for the first bite.

How could the emperor allow the queen’s family to win over such a new prince? !

Not to mention how Manager Yi managed to make the emperor happy, he only said that the queen was so angry that she smashed the teapot and teacup, then lay down on the soft couch and started crying.

Her dowry mother quickly had the door closed, and then whispered to console her, "My queen, don't be sad. The emperor probably went back because he was busy with government affairs. The emperor will definitely come again in the future. You are the head wife, and the emperor loves no one." I can’t get past you!”

The queen pulled off the veil, wiped her face fiercely, and said angrily, "What's the legal wife? When did he ever take me as the legal wife in his eyes?! In this harem, he has nice words for everyone, but only when he comes to me, he frowns. Cold eyes."

Mammy sighed in her heart, men like those who are gentle and have the same heart as him.

The queen kept quarreling with the emperor over the family, and it was strange that the emperor was happy.

She thought for a while and then advised: "Mother, although the Marquis Mansion is your mother's clan, you still shouldn't interfere too much. You have done your best for Miss Lian's marriage.

“It’s time for the empress to think about herself, for example, take good care of her body as soon as possible and give birth to a prince. This is the emperor’s legitimate son. Even if he doesn’t occupy the elder brother, he still occupies the title of legitimate son. From now on..."

She didn't finish what she said, but the queen had already understood.
