When Mrs. Fu saw her daughter looking like she was staying out of the situation, it was no wonder that her sister-in-law was angry.
"Awei, you really don't want to take care of it?"
Li Wei said helplessly: "I can't control it. Please tell my mother to tell my aunt that white things can't be blackened, and black things can't be whitened."
Since her daughter has already talked about this, it is not easy for Mrs. Fu to dwell on this issue. The red mark on Li Wei's face was still obvious. It was the first time in history for her to be slapped even when she was the Queen Mother.
Mrs. Fu then added: "Your sixth brother sent a message back, saying that he has arrived in Yunnan and has officially taken office. Everything is fine. I asked you not to miss him."
Li Wei nodded and said, "That's good."
"It's just that I don't know when I will see you again."
Li Wei said: "Three to five years only happened in the blink of an eye, and it passed quickly. Mother doesn't need to be too sad. Sixth sister-in-law gave birth to a child here, and mother just helps and takes care of it."
Sixth sister-in-law just gave birth to a lovely daughter at the end of the month, so Li Wei naturally rewarded her with a bunch of things. Mrs. Fu quite liked the new granddaughter and felt that her granddaughter looked like Li Wei when she was a child.
After sitting for a while, Li Wei wanted to invite his mother and aunt to go back, but Mrs. Fu drank tea slowly and didn't seem to want to go back immediately.
Li Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else, mother?"
"Ah..." Mrs. Fu said with a sneer: "Today is a good day for your sister. Now she is by your side again. Please help take care of her more. And don't forget what I mentioned to you before."
Li Wei naturally knew which thing her mother was referring to, and she nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, mother, as long as the anniversary is over, I will take care of this matter. It's not easy to act too hastily now."
Li Wei knew that his mother had fallen in love with the regent, so he regarded the regent as his son-in-law. Therefore, he did not dare to mention the princess's desire to be a matchmaker.
There was a smile on Mrs. Fu's face again: "Okay, okay, just remember it. It's not a good time to talk about this now, so let's wait another six months. Once this marriage is finalized, it will be my wish. "
Li Wei got up early in the morning to organize Li Xing's hairpin ceremony. She was also a little tired. Seeing that her mother had no other words to say, she said: "Send mother and aunt out of the palace, and ask the two elders to take care of themselves. Although my daughter is not allowed to go home, I’m here to see you, but I can only feel at ease when you are healthy.”
Mrs. Fu then left her seat, bowed to her daughter and left.
Mrs. Fu walked out of Linglong Pavilion and saw Mrs. Wen. There were tears on Mrs. Wen's face. She said unwillingly: "I don't believe her heart is made of stone. I will kowtow to her and beg her to take back her life." "
In a rare move, Madam Fu stopped Mrs. Wen: "Sister-in-law, that's enough. This is in Chongqing Palace, not Jiashan Hall."
Mrs. Wen's face was very ugly.
In any case, the two ladies were finally sent away, and Li Wei was indeed sleepy. She returned to the bedroom and planned to take a short rest. Li Xing saw that the two ladies were about to leave and came out to see each other off, but when he saw the eldest uncle's face full of anger and as if she had been crying, she trembled in her heart and secretly wondered what was going on. She wanted to go back and ask the Queen Mother what happened, but she found out that the Queen Mother had already rested, so she couldn't go forward to disturb her.
Teaching Shujia to write in the study, she still doesn't know what happened before, but as soon as she asks about it, everything becomes clear immediately.
"Auntie is so beautiful today. The big-sleeved shirt she wore just now looks so majestic. Was it a reward from your mother?"
Li Xing said: "Yes, it was rewarded by the Queen Mother."
Shujia added: "I heard that the queen mother wants Xuan Chunrong to come in to choose materials and styles. It seems that she will make a lot of new clothes for her aunt."
Li Xing hurriedly said: "Sister Chunrong is a needleworker of the Queen Mother. How can I dare to enjoy it?"
Shujia continued: "This man also makes jewelry and clothes. It seems that he is preparing a dowry for his aunt."
Shujia's words made Li Xing blush slightly and said shyly: "What dowry? Princess, who told you that? Don't laugh at me."
Shujia smiled and said: "Although I am young, I understand. They all say that a woman will get married when she has her haircut on her fifteenth year, and my aunt is also getting ready to get married. I just don't know what kind of person my mother will choose for me." uncle."
Li Xing's face turned redder and redder, and he said hurriedly: "Princess, don't laugh at me anymore."
Li Xing was always thinking about the affairs of the two ladies at home. Although he was with the Queen Mother, there were some things that she couldn't ask rashly. However, judging from various signs these days, something happened at home. She knew that her eldest brother was back, and the only thing that could make her cry in the palace was the eldest brother's affairs, and most of them were related to her eldest brother.
Li Xing made a brief analysis and asked Shujia to play with the palace maids. After tidying up the place a little, she was going to go to the bedroom to see if the Queen Mother was up.
Just as Li Xing passed through the screen, he saw Qingxiang standing outside with a sad face. Qingxiang heard the noise and looked up and saw that the fifth girl was busy getting up and waving to Li Xing.
Li Xing's heart sank, he hadn't even gotten up yet.
Qingxiang went to the corridor and called Qiu Chan, a second-class palace maid, and told her: "You are so on guard. If the Queen Mother calls, you will agree immediately. The fifth girl and I will go to the waiter and sit for a while and we will come right away."
Qiu Chan quickly agreed.
Li Xing also wanted to ask Qingxiang something, so he followed Qingxiang to the small tea room at the back.
As soon as she entered the room, Haruka said, "I'm here to see how the Queen Mother's tea is brewing. You guys can go down first. I'll just keep watch."
After sending away the people around her, Qingxiang picked up a hot white porcelain bowl, poured a bowl of tea for Li Xing that the Queen Mother often drank, and presented it to Li Xing herself.
"Fifth girl, please have some tea."
Li Xing said very politely: "Sister Qingxiang, please sit down. I have something to ask Sister Qingxiang."
Qingxiang also said: "It's not easy for me to hide in front of the fifth girl. If you have anything to say, just say it. Anyway, this is your Li family's business, and the fifth girl should know. Today, the eldest lady and the queen mother made a move, although I don't know What happened, but the Queen Mother is indeed wronged. We servants don’t dare to persuade her. Fortunately, the fifth lady is here, so I ask the fifth lady to help persuade the queen mother. "
Li Xing's eyes widened. Did the aunt beat the Queen Mother? ! Is this the following crime? What on earth could have caused the aunt to lose her composure so much
"The Queen Mother has been in poor health recently, and she is unwilling to tell the people around her about her psychological problems. The servants have no choice, so we have to ask the fifth girl to come forward and explain the Queen Mother."
Li Xing asked Qingxiang: "Sister, do you know what happened?"
Qingxiang said: "It's probably a family matter of the Li family."
That further confirmed what Li Xing had in mind. In her memory, the eldest uncle had always been calm and dignified. She was a standard family woman who was polite and courteous whether she was treating servants or her children. How could she have developed to this point? She couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the Queen Mother had offended her eldest uncle? But the Queen Mother had everything now, and she couldn't do anything wrong.
Li Xing still couldn't figure it out.
