The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

But Lixia talked about everything and quietly went to pack things for Liu Yu. But her aggrieved and awkward look really made people feel distressed, and she also felt like a jerk.

Liu Yu saw that no one was crying, so he stepped forward and said:

"Lixia, I'm back." He took out a straw bird he bought in Quanxing County and handed it to her:

"This is for you."

Lixia fell in love with it at first sight, she burst into tears and laughed:

"Madam, I am not a child anymore, why are you trying to coax me with these things?"

Usually she would buy some small items for these girls.

"Okay, then I won't take it next time." Liu Yu said naturally.

Lixia felt aggrieved, but began to ask Liu Yu about his journey.

It was at this time that the old lady came with her sisters-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law.

Liu Yu hurried to get up, but the old lady signaled her not to get up and continued to tell her what had happened on their way out.

After hearing this, the old lady looked at her with eyes full of heartache, and the eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu, burst into tears.

"You are the eldest sister-in-law, why are you crying?" the old lady scolded.

"Finally, we've avenged ourselves from last time. It's not a loss for us to get hurt a little."

The old lady is open-minded. If she wants someone's life, it's good enough if she can't exchange it for another's.

Wu didn't dare cry anymore. Although her mother-in-law was a nice person, she was still very scared when she got really angry.

She choked up and began to ask about Uncle Chen's condition...

While they were talking, Jingzhe came up with the dishes.

Liu Yu immediately stopped talking and looked at the plates of delicious food on the table with his sharp eyes.

"Let's eat first!" the old lady said, looking at Liu Yu's greedy look, she showed a doting smile.

After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks and personally picked up Liu Yu's favorite dish, braised lion head.

"Thank you, mother."

After seeing the old lady pick up her chopsticks, Liu Yu took a bite, but as soon as she put the food in her mouth, she frowned.

Normally, Liu Yu would never show such an expression when he eats.

The old lady asked quickly:

"What's wrong? Are you not used to the food?"

Liu Yu smiled again, shook his head, and just looked back at Jingzhe who was waiting beside him, wanting to praise him.

The old lady didn't think much about it and picked up a few of her favorite dishes for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu ate with joy, but for some reason, even though the smell was the same as before, the taste was completely different. After the third dish, she had no appetite at all.

If she hadn't smelled the dish cooked by Jingzhe and hadn't brought it out personally, she would have suspected that it wasn't cooked by Jingzhe.

She could only attribute it to the fact that she was too tired from the long journey and her sense of taste had not yet recovered.

After finishing the boring meal, the old lady stayed for only a moment before leaving Qinyuanju and returning to the main courtyard of the villa.

Seeing the old lady leave, Jingzhe immediately came over, picked up Liu Yu's chopsticks without saying a word, and tasted the remaining dishes in her bowl one by one.

"No problem!" Jingzhe looked at Liu Yu strangely:

"Ma'am, it's obviously delicious, why don't you eat it? You're not usually like this."

Facing Jingzhe's expression, it's as if he's saying, if you ever say my cooking isn't tasty, I'll cry in front of you.

Liu Yu was about to say that it tasted bad, but he swallowed it.

She shook her head: "Maybe I'm too tired recently and don't have much appetite!"

"But when I saw it just now, Madam really wanted to eat it!" Jingzhe murmured.

Liu Yu couldn't respond to this, she herself didn't know the reason.

……

royal palace.

Three hours later, all the ministers of the previous dynasty were finally invited to the mourning hall.

The eldest prince explained the reason why he invited them into the palace.

None of the big shots above had any objections, and no one was stupid enough to object to the little Luo Luo who came later.

Several people loyal to Master Chen San began to think that something was wrong, but they didn't know what Zhou Zheng was going to do, so they could only wait and see.

"Since no one objects, let's go to Wenxuan Hall together!" Zhou Zheng looked at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince's face was wrinkled into a ball, as if he was extremely reluctant, but he couldn't help but consider the consequences.

"Grand Prince, even if the late emperor did not pass the throne to you, you are still the most honorable prince of our Great Jin. You should face it, so as not to lose the bearing of the prince of our Great Jin!"

These words directly and firmly denied the eldest prince's right of inheritance. He was being petty by being so hesitant.

If Zhou Zheng hadn't said this, the eldest prince would have scratched him in the face.

So shameless.

Even though the eldest prince was reluctant, he still responded and forcefully defended himself:

"Humph, who said I don't dare? I'll go. Even if you don't want to, my father will still pass the throne to me."

When the princes heard his words, it sounded like a child who was guilty but was trying to be strong to save face.

The group arrived at the Wenxuan Hall, and the eldest prince ordered the eunuchs in the Wenxuan Hall to climb up and take the edict down from the beam.

The eldest prince took it and was about to open it when a servant ran in from outside and whispered something in Zhou Zheng's ear.

Zhou Zheng, who had been confident of victory, suddenly changed his expression.

He asked in a voice that only the servant could hear:

"Is the news true?"

"It is absolutely true. Our people have found the remains."

Before the servant finished speaking, Zhou Zheng caught a glimpse of the eldest prince who was surrounded by people. He had already opened the box containing the will, took out the will, and was about to open it.

"Damn it." Zhou Zheng's face changed drastically and he shouted:

"First Prince, please wait."

This sound frightened everyone present so much that they stopped what they were doing for a moment and looked at him.

In full view of everyone, Zhou Zheng rushed to the eldest prince with a speed that was unbelievable for an old man, snatched the will from the eldest prince's hand, and put it back into the box.

"Zhou Zheng, what are you doing?" the eldest prince asked in confusion and a little anger.

As expected of a veteran of three dynasties who had studied in the court for decades, Zhou Zheng quickly calmed down.

And find an explanation for his behavior as quickly as possible.

"My Lord, it is inappropriate to open the will so rashly. It is against etiquette..."

"Zhou Zheng."

He went back on his word like this, and angered the princes.

Prince Duan could not tolerate the violent temper and immediately launched an attack:

"I call you the Prime Minister, do you really think you can be the master of our Li family? It was someone else who told me that there was something wrong with the will, and it was you who usurped the throne and other princes to see the will. Now you are saying that it is against the rules and you are the one who cannot see it. Are you kidding us?"

The other princes followed suit. Their royal dignity would not allow a subject to act like this.

Zhou Zheng knew that what he did was too abrupt, but he couldn't let this will appear in front of anyone.

He ignored the shouting of the other princes and looked at the eldest prince, insisting on his own opinion:

"Your Highness, the emperor's funeral has not yet begun, so the edict cannot be shown yet!"

But things in this world will not always go as one wishes.

As soon as Zhou Zheng finished speaking, voices of opposition were heard outside.
