Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

"Humph, Sister Gao Yang also said that her husband was cheating on her. I think she is just jealous."

"My husband was promoted to the fourth rank secretary by his own ability, unlike Gaoyang's consort Fang Yiai, who became the Minister of the Imperial Household Department by relying on connections."

Thinking of how Princess Gaoyang had repeatedly spoken ill of her husband, Li Yi, the good-tempered princess, also felt unhappy.

Her eyes rolled around, then she stood up and gave instructions to her maid Linglong.

"Linglong, you should go to Princess Changle's mansion right now and invite all the princesses to have dinner here."

"I'm here to celebrate my husband's promotion."

Linglong nodded, turned around and ran away.

Li Yi's face regained its smile, and he said with eyes full of love: "My husband, I promised you at that time that when you get promoted, I would hold a promotion banquet for you, and invite Sister Li Zhi and Sister Gao Yang to come."

"I have fulfilled my promise now."

Li Yi held his head high with an expression that said, "Praise me!"

Du He had already guessed what this little girl was thinking. She just wanted to prove in front of all her sisters that her husband was not a loser.

Du He did not expose her, but touched her head lovingly and said, "Yier is so nice."

Just compare if you want to, it’s not like you don’t have the ability to do so.

You can't just go out and suffer every day while watching your sisters show off their princes-in-law.

The two of them stayed together for a while, and Li Yi pointed at a pile of silks, satins, gold and silver, and said with a complicated look on his face.

"My husband, my father has given you a huge amount of money and property. What are you going to do with it?"

Although these rewards were a drop in the bucket compared to her dowry, they were still a huge income.

Du He smiled and said, "Yier, you are my housekeeper. From now on, all the money will be under your control."

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband, I will definitely keep our money well."

"My husband, please drink some tea first. I will go and arrange for the kitchen to prepare food, and then count the silver and put it into the warehouse."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he skipped away.

Du He had nothing to do, and it was a rare occasion that he got off duty early, so he sat down to drink tea alone and think about what to do in the future.

Li Chengqian's image in the minds of Li Shimin and court officials has now been successfully reversed, but we cannot take it lightly.

Although Li Tai is in good health, he is still Li Chengqian's number one rival.

Moreover, the silent Li Zhi is also a potential opponent.

So Du He was also thinking about how to let Li Chengqian continue to make achievements and improve his favorability.

He also needs to think more about his eldest brother Du Gou and third brother Du Aitong, so that they can achieve merit and get promoted as soon as possible.

While Du He was thinking, Linglong came over with a group of princesses.

When they passed by the lobby and saw Du He drinking tea safely, they all showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Among them, Princess Gaoyang was the most confused.

According to what the prince consort Fang Yiai said, shouldn't Du He be in prison now?

At the very least, you'll be hung up and beaten, right?

But looking at his neat and tidy clothes, he didn't look like he was being tortured at all.

With doubts, the banquet began.

Except for Du He, a man, all the others at the table were princesses of noble status.

Li Yi stood up, raised his glass to the sisters, and said with a smile on his face.

"This year's Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is hosted by Sister Lizhi and I. As the organizers, Sister Lizhi and I should treat everyone to a meal."

"At the same time, we would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the promotion of the Prince Consort to the position of Junior Secretary!"

Li Yi's words surprised all the princesses.

"Sister Li Yi, are you saying... Du He was promoted to the position of Secretary-General?" Princess Gao Yang asked in disbelief with her eyes wide open.

what's the situation?

Not only was Du He not punished, he was even promoted?

Feeling the questioning and sneering gazes of her sisters, Princess Gao Yang's delicate face felt hot.

She quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet her sisters' gazes.

Li Yi saw that several sisters who often showed off their prince consorts to her now had somewhat unnatural expressions on their faces, and she was extremely happy.

Now it's finally her turn to show off her husband.

Li Lizhi clenched her hands into fists and asked anxiously, "Du He, does this mean that the Crown Prince has also been rewarded by our father?"

What she was most worried about was the lame prince.

Du He smiled and said, "Princess Changle, rest assured. The Crown Prince will bring me along to achieve merit, and His Majesty will naturally reward me handsomely."

"Your Majesty not only rewarded the Crown Prince with ten thousand pieces of silk and satin, but also publicly promised that the Crown Prince's position would be secure forever!"

hum~

The princesses immediately began to talk excitedly in low voices.

Some of the princes-in-law in their families supported the crown prince, while others supported the King of Wei.

The reward bestowed upon the Crown Prince by my father was a clear announcement to the world that he would succeed to the throne and other princes should not have any evil intentions.

Li Lizhi nodded with relief, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She smiled and asked, "Du He, besides giving you a promotion, doesn't the emperor have any other reward?"

On the side, Li Yi rushed to reply: "Sister Lizhi, father has rewarded you with a thousand rolls of silk and satin, and ten thousand strings of gold and silver."

When the princesses heard that Du He had received so many rewards, they became excited.

The total amount of money and gifts given to their husbands-in-law over the years probably does not exceed a thousand rolls of silk and satin.

Princess Gaoyang lowered her head, her face as gloomy as ink, her hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, the blue veins on her face were exposed.

Throughout the entire banquet, except for Princess Li Yi and Princess Li Lizhi who were happy, most of the princesses had unnatural smiles on their faces, and a few princesses had sullen faces.

This banquet with a strange atmosphere did not last long, and the princesses found excuses to leave early.

Only Princess Changle stayed calmly until the end.

She looked at Du He, who had changed so much, and her sister, whose eyes were narrowed into a line with joy, and gave instructions with a smile.

"Du He, you need to behave yourself. Stop hanging out with those bad friends and be nicer to Li Yi."

"Princess Changle, rest assured. I will."

"Also, you and Li Yi are both grown up, it's time for you to have a boy and a girl."

Du He looked at his blushing daughter-in-law, smiled and said to Li Lizhi: "Yier and I will work harder."

He was also very curious. He had been trying to conceive on Li Yi every now and then during this period of time, but she still hadn't gotten pregnant.

Is there something wrong with his body?

There is no reason. He is as ferocious as a tiger, it is impossible for him to be infertile.

Li Lizhi gave a few more instructions and then went back with her maid.

In the huge conference hall, only Du He and Li Yi were left.

Li Yi's face was still red with shame, she snuggled in Du He's arms, her face full of joy: "My husband, I am so happy today."

Du He scratched her nose and said lovingly, "Yier, your husband will make you happy every day in the future."

"Ah."

Li Yi nodded softly.

...

Princess Gaoyang's Mansion.

"This princess is so angry!"

"What a villain succeeding!"

slap~

Princess Gaoyang was so angry that every time she cursed, a vase or ornament would suffer.

Princess Gaoyang stopped only when there was nothing left to smash in the room.

"It's all Fang Yiai's fault for making this princess lose face like this."

Princess Gaoyang blamed Fang Yiai for all the anger she had suffered in Princess Chengyang's mansion.

It was all his fault, that incompetent and useless prince consort. If it weren't for his incompetence, she wouldn't have suffered like this.

Now her face was still gloomy, and it was obvious that she had not let out her anger.

After a moment's silence, she shouted coldly to the maid guarding the door of the room.

"Take someone to Huichang Temple to invite Master Bianji. I am very angry and want to debate Buddhism and meditation with the master."

"Slave, go now."

"Wait, send someone to the Duke of Liang's mansion to call that cowardly Prince Consort Fang Yiai over."

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess."
