A dream ends life

Liu Zhenzhen became Yu Luohan's aunt, even though Yu Luohan and Liu Zhenzhen were not very satisfied with this result.

Xu specially arranged a courtyard for her that was closest to Yu Luohan.

"Auntie is just a temporary solution. Once you are pregnant with a child, it will be natural for Su Shi to leave the family. You have to be patient for now."

Liu Zhenzhen: "Everything is up to my aunt."

Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction. The daughter-in-law she wanted was someone as well-behaved as Liu Zhenzhen.

Liu Zhenzhen looked at her own yard and couldn't help feeling proud. The yard of Su, her legal wife, was not as exquisite as hers.

Especially the furnishings in the room, all of them were valuable things. When she opened the cabinet, the clothes inside made her eyes widen.

Xu was the housekeeper, and the yard was decorated by her mother herself. Everything was the best, and all the unhappiness she had about being a concubine disappeared.

Just wait a little longer. As long as she gets pregnant, she will be the legitimate wife of the Grand Tutor. She has waited enough.

After taking a turn, he swaggered to Su Ci's yard.

"Sister, you are feeling better now. I heard that you were not feeling well yesterday, so I came to visit you."

Su Ci looked at Liu Zhenzhen, who was dressed in jewels and jade, with mixed feelings.

Yesterday she was still a young and ignorant girl, but overnight she turned into a woman in the inner chamber. Her hairstyle also changed from two buns to a woman's bun. The young face looked out of place with the mature hairstyle.

"You are thoughtful." Su Ci said slowly.

After sitting down, Liu Zhenzhen looked at Su Ci's room with scrutiny, "Sister's room is too cramped, it should be decorated more exquisitely. My cousin is now of noble status, but his wife's room is like this. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it got out?"

Su Ci pinched his brows and did not answer.

Liu Zhenzhen's maid quickly said, "Not everyone can please the master like you. Everything in your room is the best in the mansion. The master's heart and eyes are all about you."

She understood Liu Zhenzhen's thoughts, and she was happy to see it happen. However, it was wrong for her not to focus on Yu Luohan, but to bully her!

Liu Zhenzhen was still complacent, "Sister, don't listen to this girl. You are my cousin's wife. Sooner or later, my cousin will have you in his heart. I will also speak for you in front of my cousin."

Oh! It’s still a cup of strong tea!

Su Ci: "You just entered the mansion, so your words may not be very powerful. But don't worry, there is still Shanhu who can do what you can't do. That girl is smart and your cousin's personal maid. The two of them spend every day together and have a deep affection for each other. She should be more effective than you in speaking."

Liu Zhenzhen's face changed and she couldn't smile anymore. After all, she was young and she wasn't good at hiding her thoughts.

"Sister is right." Liu Zhenzhen replied unnaturally.

Coral, I almost forgot about her.

Royal Palace

In the imperial study, the ministers were having a heated debate.

"The national treasury is empty now, so it is not advisable to engage in large-scale construction. Money should be spent where it is needed most. In my opinion, we should focus on the special examination first." The Minister of Rites refuted the Minister of Works.

The Minister of War came out and said: "My Dongyong army defends the territory day and night, and still has to endure hunger. How can we convince the people? We should first allocate funds to the Ministry of War."

The five ministers all gathered in the Imperial Study to ask for money, but the Minister of Revenue was helpless as he had only a small amount of money but several bottomless pits to fill it.

Yu Luohan sat beside the little emperor, frowning in thought.

The Minister of Works said, "The rainy season is coming, and it is urgent to reinforce the embankment, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous! Please ask the emperor to allocate more funds for this. The emperor's harem is now empty, and there is only the empress dowager's palace for expenses. It is okay to postpone the reconstruction of the harem. Please make the decision!"

There is only the Empress Dowager in the harem, and so many palaces are not enough to accommodate her. Why bother rebuilding the Ci'an Palace?

Everyone has been arguing for a long time but there is still no conclusion. Without money, no one's words will count!

Yu Luohan finally said: "The reconstruction of Ci'an Palace will be put on hold, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works will be dealt with urgently, and Tutu will be done slowly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, discussions arose again.

After Wu Peiyi heard about the imperial study, she threw a teacup fiercely. What a bunch of old fools! She just wanted to build a palace of her own choice, why did she get in their way?

Her nails dug into her palms. Her power was still not enough, otherwise how could she be restrained by these people.

After thinking it over, he ordered the head maid: "Summon the loyal and brave Marquis to the palace!"

"Yes," the maid took the order and went out to give instructions.

Marquis Zhongyong, her father, the Wu family must have real power!

……

Su Ci took medicine every day and started living a life of medicine. If the Xu sisters found fault with her, she would go out and meet them.

The two accused her of being disrespectful to her mother-in-law and never coming to pay her respects, but she made the excuse that she was not feeling well.

When Mrs. Xu had a headache and asked her to take care of the patient, she rolled her eyes and fainted. Her symptoms were even more serious than her mother-in-law's. Did this make Mrs. Xu so angry that she was jumping up and down?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought back and forth, and it was ridiculous.

However, Liu Zhenzhen directed her criticism at Shanhu. Although Shanhu received the share of a concubine, she was still a concubine and was suppressed by Liu Zhenzhen.

It was too easy for Liu Zhenzhen to find trouble with her. Within a few days, Shanhu's face was made haggard by her.

Xu Zhinian and Xu Zhiru also acted arrogantly in the mansion. They ate whatever was best and took whatever was expensive, and Xu Shi did not stop them.

As long as Yu Luohan is not at home, the mansion is in chaos.

Yu Guan saw it and felt panicked.

How could Yu Luohan, a commoner, who has reached his current position, be ruined by these women? Xu was a person who was not worthy of being in the public eye, and the mistress just let it go. There was no one to keep things under control in the mansion, and a fire broke out in the master's backyard.

He walked back to the room, sat at the table, thought for a while, and then picked up a pen to write a letter.

Su Ci smiled when she received the news. Butler Yu did not disappoint her.

……

Yilan Villa

When the eldest princess saw Xiao Che sitting cross-legged on the high platform in meditation, her eyes were filled with amazement.

Xiao Che sat on a stone platform, his clothes fluttering and his black hair flying, like a god descending to the earth.

She sat aside and looked at him quietly until Xiao Che opened his eyes, then she stepped forward and spoke.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Che asked.

The eldest princess placed a gold-embossed invitation in front of him.

"That woman in the palace is going to cause trouble, but I don't know who she's targeting this time."

Xiao Che: "What do you mean?"

The Grand Princess: "In recent days, the Loyal and Brave Marquis and his wife have been coming to the palace frequently. The Wu family is tired of being lonely."

Prince Jishan won the battle for the throne and was the legitimate candidate for the throne.

When he was about to take the throne, he met with an accident and was shot dead under his horse. Xiao Jinchen, the eldest son of Wu, succeeded to the throne under Luo Han's coercion.

He became the youngest emperor in the history of Dongyong.

The court seemed calm, but undercurrents were surging. Various forces were ready to make a move, and it was still unknown whether the young emperor could keep the throne.

"Mrs. Wu is a fool. If it weren't for Yu Luohan protecting her, she would have been killed in the strife in the harem. She is so unsatisfied with her current glory. She is going to die a miserable death!"

The eldest princess did not have a good impression of her brother's wife. No, it can be said that she did not have a good impression of all her younger brothers.

Xiao Che looked at the name on the invitation and did not comment.

If you invite him, he will go and see the little emperor, that... Yu Luohan!
