When Yuan Qiluo and Liu Qiqiao talked about those things back then, it was mostly hearsay that Liu Qiqiao remembered one thing: "How about An Jieyu now?"
Yuan Qiluo said: "I don't know this. I heard that since the twelve princes were picked up from the people and ran away after assassinating the emperor, Na An Jieyu was also beaten into the cold palace. After that, she did not hear from her again. I don’t know if I’m still there. The emperor is dying. The most favored concubine Liu Gui is in front of the king Ye every day. Why do you ask the twelve princes about the arrival of the twelve princes
Liu Qiqiao nodded, "How many sons do the emperor have, don't they have a prince? Why do some people say that he is not necessarily the one who succeeds to the throne?"
Yuan Qiluo said in a low voice, "This is something that ordinary people like us can talk about. The prince has been standing long ago. Under normal circumstances, he will surely succeed, but now it’s not good. You also know that King Ye has always been , He looked at him like that, and he was good at drawing people's hearts. I heard that the ministers of the DPRK were mostly his cronies. In the past one or two years, he hadn't been on the expedition. In the past, he led troops on the expedition, and the military power is actually , Is also mostly in his hands. If he gets into trouble, even if it can't be done, he is afraid that it will stir up trouble!"
Liu Qiqiao said in surprise: "He won't dare to seize the seat, right?"
Yuan Qiluo hurriedly hissed: "This is what our sisters said in private that you also had contact with King Ye. Do you think he will be willing to be inferior to others, will he be a willing person to give up?"
Liu Qiqiao sighed. She knew too well. She had seen Wang Ye's character, his way of dealing with things, and his unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.
"But what does it matter if the twelve princes can't be found?" Liu Qiqiao asked.
Yuan Qiluo nodded: "The emperor has twelve princes, the youngest is the fifteen princes. A while ago, when Concubine Liu Gui asked me to enter the palace, those fifteen princes were only three years old. Today there are more princes and fewer princesses. The eldest princess was born to a queen. She did not grow up and died at the age of five or six. The seventh princess married to the northern Hun country and became a princess, so she changed the peace of our Dayu and the Xiongnu for more than ten years. There is also a nine princess, Do you remember? The imperial concubine also mentioned last time that the nine princesses fell in love with your family husband and wanted to hire a consort. Because there were few princesses, the emperor loved the nine princesses very much. Just married the eldest son of the Minister of War!"
"The emperor has so many children!" Liu Qiqiao said in surprise.
"Although the emperor has many children, only a few can survive safely. Except as mentioned above, the eldest princess died of illness at the age of five or six. There are also three princes, four princes, and eight princes. I heard that the fifth prince was still stuttering, and then there was a twelve prince who was always outside the palace. Therefore, those who are truly capable of inheriting the throne, and then remove those who are still young and infirm, there will be only a few. A few people. The prince, the king Ye, the two people fought openly and secretly, it must be true, otherwise, it will not be passed on by us like this!" Yuan Qiluo said.
Liu Qiqiao nodded: "I don't want Ye Wang to ascend the throne!"
Yuan Qiluo smiled: "In fact, we all think about this based on our own thoughts, but we are women after all. We can't understand these things above the court. I remember listening to you, but he hopes. King Ye will be the emperor. Although he is not authentic, he is strong, very powerful, powerful and powerful, and has the style of an emperor with an iron fist. But the prince is too weak. If he is afraid of becoming an emperor, he will also have weak ears. He was indecisive, would miss major events, and gave some ministers the opportunity to influence major events in the DPRK and China. But when he talks about these times, it is still before the accident in the Shen family. Now if he is asked to comment again, it may not be such an excuse..."
Liu Qiqiao never thought that Shen Yunong's original idea was like this.
Now Yuluofang has also reopened, plus the original Shenjia silk and satin shop. Yuan Qiluo’s three stores are sitting back and forth. Liu Qiqiao still lives in the backyard of Yunshangfang. She will often look after the business here, but Her main task now is to prepare for the Shen family business.
Shen Yunong left a large book. It was filled with some inherent customers when the Shen family was originally a business. Before the establishment of the business, Liu Qiqiao went one by one and contacted them.
But when Liu Qiqiao was running outside, he also felt the atmosphere of waiting in the capital.
Even the businesses that were contacted by Liu Qiqiao were panicked. Some people advised Liu Qiqiao: "Isn't it a good time to open a store? Can't you see the current situation? If the capital is really fighting for the seat. I’m afraid it will involve our shop. I’m thinking about whether to close the shop recently and open the shop again when the wind has passed and the major event is over!”
Liu Qiqiao ran for a few days with little success. The caravan companies that he was willing to cooperate with all offered conditions. If Shen Yunong could come forward, they would consider it. Only then did Liu Qiqiao realize that Shen Yunong is in these businesses. The credibility of the time, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Shen Yunong still has some ability, his name is like a golden sign.
Business is difficult, and people feel extremely tired. Liu Qiqiao ran outside for a day and spent a day in vain. She got off the sedan chair and walked into the shop. Then she saw the courtyard, sitting by the well. Lin Pingmo, she hasn't seen him for several days.
Since that day, Liu Qiqiao has never been close to him since he was pulled by his hand and called his mother. Sometimes, ruthlessness is the best respect. Even if he doesn't have any other thoughts, don't let others misunderstand him.
Liu Qiqiao will also be walking inside today, but the wind is blowing, it is already winter, the wind is cold, but it is blowing with the fragrance of wine.
Liu Qiqiao turned his head and saw Lin Pingmo holding a hip flask in his hand, and felt Liu Qiqiao looking at him, so he tilted his head, his always clear eyes, with a smile, thought he was drunk. Unclear, so cynical, not like the original him. "Liu Qiye, would you like a sip!" Lin Pingmo called to Liu Qiqiao, and raised the silver jug in her hand to her.
I remember that when Dunzi came to ask Liu Qiqiao to take charge of Lin Pingmo, he said to Liu Qiqiao that as soon as Lin Pingmo got paid, he would go to sell wine and drink. If he had no money, he would borrow from Dunzi and the others. I don’t owe them. After a while, I can always pay it back, but they all feel sorry for him. They turn too fast alone, which is a little beyond their expectations. He was originally a motivated and self-controlling man. Now , But soaked in the wine tank, mixed eating and waiting to die.
Liu Qiqiao wanted to ignore him. She walked two steps inside, then suddenly turned around and walked towards Lin Pingmo: "Lin Pingmo!"
"Huh?" Lin Pingmo didn't seem to expect Liu Qiqiao to pay attention to him. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Qiqiao, and then raised his hand: "Qiye, would you like to drink it?"
"I won't drink, and you don't want to drink either!" Liu Qiqiao said.
Lin Pingmo seemed to have heard a joke: "Why don't you drink it? Only Dukang is the only one!" When he finished speaking, he raised the hip flask and took another sip. Maybe he drank too quickly and eagerly. He suddenly There was a gap.
"I told you not to drink anymore, did you hear that?" Liu Qiqiao was a little anxious and in a bad mood. After walking outside for so long, he didn't talk about anything. He was a little depressed. When he came back, he saw Lin Pingmo. She looked so angry and distressed.
"Oh, did you tell me not to drink? But, why should I listen to you?" Lin Pingmo suddenly asked very seriously. He slanted his eyes, held the hip flask, and pointed to Liu Qiqiao:" Who are you, why should I listen to you, oh, yes, you are the boss, but, boss Liu, I didn’t mistake you for nothing, and I didn’t take your money, and I’m not on duty for drinking. When, why did you say me!"
Seeing that the hip flask was about to poke her in the face, Liu Qiqiao was annoyed, dragged down the flask, and threw it far away.
A buddy was about to walk over. Hearing the movement, Liu Qiqiao looked really angry, and rushed away and ran away.
Lin Pingmo didn't have a hip flask, so he stood up all of a sudden, "You!..." as if looking for Liu Qiqiao to give a theory.
Liu Qiqiao was not afraid of him either. He stood there steadily and said to Lin Pingmo, "Lin Pingmo, I don't want to fall into this situation!"
"I'm already a beggar, where can I go?" Lin Pingmo stared, his eyes flushed, he cried.
Liu Qiqiao looked at him: "You know, in my heart, you have never been a beggar!"
Lin Pingmo turned to look at her when he heard her, his eyes were full of resentment, but when he looked at Liu Qiqiao, he softened unconsciously.
"I don't want you to be like this all the time. You have to have a degree of sadness, and you can't give up on yourself. Lin Pingmo in my memory is not like this?" Liu Qiqiao said.
Lin Pingmo faintly twisted his brows and muttered, "Then what should I look like?"
Liu Qiqiao said: "He is an aspiring and pursuing person. He is in pain, but in his pain, he is also looking for an opportunity to stand up again. I believe that the Lin Pingmo I know will get better and better. Yes, I always remember that he was very high-spirited, took me through the layers of houses, and saw the Nine Dragon Wall, when he saw the Echo Wall, his confident smile on his face, the sky and the earth, let him roam, no matter what it is or what. Jiangshan, he has never been restrained by him, in my heart..." Liu Qiqiao glanced at Lin Pingmo: "You are the way you are, that's you!"
When Lin Pingmo was said by Liu Qiqiao, he had a heart ring. Actually, he was not drunk at all. He was embarrassed to see Liu Qiqiao again. He just bowed his face, "Maybe you are wrong about me. Maybe, I just can’t get on the wall in mud, I can’t afford to support Liu Adou..."
"No!" Liu Qiqiao interrupted his words: "You can't just let it go. You are still so young and your road is still long. You can't borrow wine to pour your sorrows like this. You have to be well, starting tomorrow, with me. Let’s go for a walk together, I need you, Lin Pingmo, don’t have your skills, you said, you will protect me!"
