After time travel, I became a talented lady

Liu Yunniang frowned. It wasn't a festival, and the two families weren't that close, so why did he suddenly come over to chat?

Cui'er was busy helping Liu Yunniang tidy up her clothes. When everything was ready, she put on a smiling face and went out to greet the guests.

When Madam Li saw Liu Yunniang, she smiled immediately and stood up to greet each other. She was full of envy.

"Mrs. Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as charming as ever. It seems that you are not worried about anything now. You are living a good life~"

When Cui Er heard this, she couldn't help but secretly complain about the dark circles under Liu Yunniang's eyes from working at her desk for the past few days. If she hadn't applied thick foundation, how could it not be seen with her fair skin? Even if she applied powder, there were still a few bloodshot eyes. How could she still be so charming?

Mrs. Li never speaks honestly!

"No, no, the lady is so elegant and graceful. I saw that the lady looked ruddy and happy after not seeing her for a few days. She came to my house specially. I'm afraid she has something good to tell me~"

Liu Yunniang also ignored Mrs. Li's bitter and sour look, and lied with her eyes open~

Mrs. Li's smile was cracked. There were a lot of rumors outside these days. Her husband was worried every day, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, jumping up and down to ask for information, fearing that he would stand on the wrong side and offend the powerful, and he would be stripped of his official hat and thrown into the fire pit without knowing it. So she had the audacity to come to the house to inquire about Lord Cheng's news.

In her heart, she really looked down on Mrs. Cheng's petty-mindedness. Every time she came, she said some meaningless and high-sounding words that made people feel uncomfortable. People who came from small merchant families were shallow-minded and jealous!

But who can blame my husband for winning the favor of the Left Prime Minister and the Emperor, and rising rapidly to a high position?

Madam Li twisted her handkerchief vigorously, her expression changed several times in a flash, and then she smiled perfunctorily, "What kind of happy event is this? I'm sorry to make you laugh. We just got some chicken head rice at the farm, which is fresher than the ones bought outside. I specially sent it here for you to taste. It's also because we sisters get along well. I miss you very much after not seeing you for a long time."

Cui'er felt upset when she heard this. Oh, why was Madam Li so abrupt in her words? She was already old, but she was still missing her sister. Oh, it was so annoying. The more she thought about it, the more sour she felt. She gritted her teeth and endured it for a long time before she finally suppressed the nausea and vomiting urge in her heart. What a shame!

Liu Yunniang also felt jealous. They were not related, and it was just a courtesy. When she first moved here, she looked down on others and acted arrogant. Why did she suddenly miss him? ! At her age, she said such nonsense. How could it be so inexplicable~

Liu Yunniang felt a little annoyed, so she had to continue to communicate with her with a smile on her face.

After three rounds of polite talk, Madam Li couldn't hold back any longer. "I wonder when Master Cheng will come back. My wife keeps saying that she hasn't seen Master Cheng for a long time and that she doesn't enjoy the food any more. She was thinking about setting up a table of wine to welcome him and having fun together when he returns~"

Cui'er still felt sour in her stomach, and she wanted to vomit again after hearing this. Shouldn't the Second Master be happy with his wife when he returns home? Drinking in front of Lord Li, who has a mercenary and calculating face, would not taste good even if it was nectar!

Liu Yunniang smiled and said a few perfunctory words.

She couldn't say anything. She hadn't received any letters from her husband in the past few days. This guy was really something. If he wanted to send it, he, a person close to the emperor, would have sent a letter of safety. Liu Yunniang's heart skipped a beat, but what if the emperor didn't ask her to send it, or it was really difficult to send it? !

Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang thought of the rumors on the street again, and she felt uneasy. There is no smoke without fire. How could something so good suddenly become such a big deal?

She had no intention of entertaining Mrs. Li, so she simply served tea and saw the guest off.

Mrs. Li's face turned purple instantly, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

She came to visit in a friendly manner, and was concerned about the hardship of Mr. Cheng's business trip, but Mrs. Cheng actually sent her away like this. She was a noble lady from an official family, but she made a merchant's daughter lose face!!!

He had been holding back all kinds of anger for the past few days, and today he couldn't help but sneer three times in succession, "Okay, okay, okay, now it's all over the street, a gentleman changes his ministers, let's see how long you...can live in peace!"

Liu Yunniang was shocked and stood up suddenly, saying sternly, "Madam Li, please be careful with your words!"

You don't want to live anymore and you actually said such things. Damn it, if you want to say something, just go home and talk to her. Why go to her and say anything?

Cui'er also looked frightened and hurriedly closed the door and window. Seeing the maids and servants in the corridor all turned around and looked at her, she felt relieved. Fortunately, Madam Li's voice was not loud!

Mrs. Li also realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said. Her face turned red, her lips moved a few times, and she gritted her teeth but didn't say anything. She walked out with her eyelids dragging and her face stiff.

After the people walked away, Cui Er came forward and said anxiously, "Mrs. Li is so impulsive. I have never seen her so impatient before. Is there something wrong?"

Ever since the Second Master's career was smooth, Lord Li in the Li Mansion has become very friendly. Every day when the Second Master is on duty, Lord Li has to work with the Second Master. A fat, white civil servant who can hardly step on the reins insists on talking to our Second Master side by side, which makes the Second Master stop riding his horse.

A wife's status follows that of her husband, and Liu Yunniang's status also rose with the tide. Madam Li immediately forgot how indifferent she was when she first moved in, and now she would come up to her even if there was nothing to do to get acquainted with her.

Even the wife of the Left Prime Minister was always smiling and polite to her. How long had it been since she heard such a threat? !

Liu Yunniang was upset and things had not been going well for her recently. She refused to see guests at the Left Prime Minister's residence. Even at the Anyuan Marquis' residence, the maids had sent visiting cards several times, but the Marquis's wife would probably say that she was not feeling well in the inner chamber and was not suitable to see guests.

The opera "Loyalty to the Country" had been rehearsing for several days and the response was very good, with applause coming one after another. But out of nowhere, someone from the Supervisory Office came and said that they had been ordered to lock down the city and that gatherings were temporarily prohibited. They told everyone to disperse and go home for dinner.

Duke Zhu Cheng was furious and handed in a sign to go to the palace to see the retired emperor. He couldn't even make the decision on one acre of the Pear Garden, so how could he be worthy of being called Duke Zhu Cheng!

Unfortunately, the eunuch Debao in the palace rejected his request with a smile, gave him an unfathomable look, and just told him to be obedient!

Be content?!

He is the great Zhu Chenggong. He has been a good friend of the retired emperor Renzong for many years. He is the only outsider who can enter the inner palace directly. He has slept in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. But he has always been content and not interested in power! Otherwise, he might be the one with the most power in the court!

Zhu Chenggong's face, which looked like a banished immortal, turned the color of liver for the first time!

He didn't want Liu Yunniang to look down on him, so he just said that the emperor had diarrhea and was not in the mood to watch the show. He didn't want others to take the lead, so he asked everyone to take a break.

Seeing this, how could Liu Yunniang not know that she had hit a snag!

When she didn't want to wait until she came up with a new idea to go to Zhu Chenggong, the shopkeeper looked pale, trembling as if he couldn't stand, with tears in his eyes, "Madam, my Zhu Chenggong was taken away by someone from the palace! There has been no news for two days, and he hasn't been seen!"

Liu Yunniang was shocked. What, what happened? Even Zhu Chenggong was looked at. It seemed that something had really happened to the emperor!

It was as if an invisible net was spread out in the capital city, slowly trapping them all inside. It seemed as if a big conspiracy was slowly brewing, waiting for the right opportunity to explode!

There were more soldiers patrolling the streets, and even the entry and exit of the city gates were very strict.

Life is more important, Liu Yunniang was afraid of something happening, so she hurriedly ordered the doors to be locked. There are old people and young children to take care of, and the pillar of the family is not at home, so she had to stay at home honestly and keep an eye on the door.

In the court, ever since the Queen gave birth to a child, Lord Xia entered the cabinet with a very strong attitude. In the absence of the Left Prime Minister, he had the attitude of the chief minister of the cabinet.

Wen Zhonghan and several other senior cabinet ministers were dissatisfied, but who could blame the emperor for being missing, the emperor emeritus was unable to take care of things, and Empress Xia had given birth to the only heir to the throne! Therefore, there were occasional frictions, but they were overcome. The most important thing was to keep the court stable.

The Minister of War, Lin Song, is a very interesting person.

He just watched coldly as Lord Xia made speeches and gave instructions on how to deal with the country, without saying a word.

I visited Zuo Xiang secretly under the cover of night, and left his residence at four o'clock in the morning. Thinking that Zuo Xiang had suddenly aged ten years, a surge of heat rose in my heart. Zuo Xiang has grown old!

Cao Lu was still young and too upright; Wen Zhonghan was loyal but lacked vigor; Gao Gong was Emperor Yuanwu's teacher when he was in the Eastern Palace. He was also obsessed with academics, claimed to be a clean official, but was not good at politics.

All things considered, he is the most suitable candidate for the next Prime Minister!

The sky was overcast, the air was stuffy, cold and dry, and a rainstorm was inevitable.

Lin Song calmed down his thoughts and listened to the footsteps behind him. A sneer appeared on his face. The rainstorm is coming. Will the snakes and rats come out of their holes? !
