Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Hearing the topic Xia He asked, several other young women with ideas came over and wanted to hear Taozi's opinion.

Because Taozi and Linglong are from the same hometown and have the best relationship with each other, she knows more information.

Taozi lowered her voice and said, "The monthly salary of Prince Consort Du's guards is around 250 coins, but they have many opportunities to receive rewards!"

"Linglong told me that Prince Consort Du was attacked a while ago, and these guards performed meritorious service in protecting him. Each of them was rewarded with 2 guan!"

"Moreover, they can eat meat every meal in the princess's mansion, and they can take the leftover meat home."

The princess's mansion always prepared excess meat for the servants, so almost everyone could take some meat home.

Xia He was surprised and said, "The reward is so high?"

"Just one reward is equivalent to our annual salary, and we can also eat meat for free. Ordinary officials don't have this treatment, right?"

The treatment of an ordinary guard was actually higher than that of the personal maid of Shouchun County Lord, and she could also receive huge rewards.

How come they can't meet such a generous master?

Taozi smiled and said, "If you are interested, tell Linglong right away. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store forever."

Although several young women were a little shy, they nodded solemnly in order to marry into a good family.

Seeing that Taozi's expression showed no interest at all, Xia He rolled her big watery eyes and then asked in a low voice with a smile.

"Sister Taozi, what do you think?"

Another round-faced maid replied, "Xia He, Sister Taozi comes from an official family, and she's no less pretty than Linglong. If she's going to marry, she's going to marry an official!"

The other sisters also nodded in approval.

Taozi's ancestors were all officials in the early Sui Dynasty, and her father served as a county magistrate during the Wude period. However, the family fell into poverty because her father died early due to illness.

Otherwise, Taozi would now be a rich lady who has never been involved in housework.

Taozi said with a complicated expression: "Stop laughing at me. I don't have the fate of Linglong!"

Princess Gaoyang, who had an affair with a monk, lived in fear every day, fearing that the affair would be exposed and her life would be in danger. How could she dare to ask for too much for her future?

Moreover, she was just a little maid. Even if she was quite pretty, ordinary officials would not look down on her.

While Taozi, Xia He and others were chattering, Du He and Princess Chengyang were also chatting in low voices.

Li Yi pointed in the direction of Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and others, and asked in a low voice with a smile.

"My dear, is what Choi Shin-gi just said true?"

"If Cui Shenji cannot have children, will Doctor Cui Zuosi really abolish his status as the eldest son?"

Because Choi Shenji and the others were sitting not far from the main table, and he spoke very loudly, Li Yi could hear everything Choi Shenji said clearly.

She was also very curious whether Cui Yixuan would really do such a thing.

Du He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Yier, that guy is just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

"The status of the eldest son was determined from the moment he was born. Doctor Cui Zuosi is a man who abides by the rules of propriety and will not do anything beyond the rules of propriety."

After hearing Du He's explanation, Li Yi nodded slightly with understanding.

She thought that people from aristocratic families were so heartless that they would abolish his status as the eldest son just because he could not have children.

The reason why Li Yi was concerned about this topic was that his sister Li Lizhi's husband, Chang Sun Chong, had not yet given birth to a child.

He was worried that his uncle Changsun Wuji would abolish Changsun Chong's status as the eldest son for this reason.

The following banquet was the same as usual. People sitting together toasted each other and chatted, and there was not much interaction with other people.

The wedding banquet lasted for nearly an hour. By the time all the guests left Princess Chengyang's Mansion, the sky had already become dark.

In the lobby of the princess's mansion.

Du He, Li Yi and Linglong sat on chairs to rest and chat, while Du Ping'an played with various small toys on the warm and soft cushion.

After Du He and Li Yi finished talking about a topic, Linglong, who seldom spoke, suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Master, Sister Taozi asked me to ask you just now if you have any friends who need to take a concubine?"

Forehead...

The corners of Du He's mouth twitched slightly.

He originally just wanted to find a good match for the guards below, but he didn't expect that they would treat him as a matchmaker?

Before Du He could speak, Li Yi replied with a frown.

"Linglong, your husband's friends are all from top official and gentry families. If Taozi marries them, she will be bullied."

"Instead of thinking about marrying into a good family, it's better to find an ordinary family and live an honest life."

Nowadays, marriage is about matching social status. It was just a coincidence that Linglong married Du He. Not all maids who came as dowries of princesses had this fate.

Moreover, if those whose maiden families are not strong marry someone from a powerful official or gentry family, they will be bullied for decades to come.

Linglong waved her hands and said, "Your Highness, Sister Taozi is not trying to climb up the social ladder. She wants to find a capable husband in order to save her own life!"

After hearing Linglong's words, Du He and Li Yi looked at each other.

Li Yi asked curiously: "Linglong, who did Taozi offend?"

"Besides, Taozi belongs to Princess Gaoyang. Who among ordinary people would dare to have evil thoughts towards her?"

Linglong shook her head and said, "Your Highness, Sister Taozi didn't tell me the specific reason, but when she told me, the corners of her mouth were trembling, and she looked very scared."

When Sister Taozi told her about this just now, she was also asking for the reason, but Sister Taozi refused to say anything.

She knew Taozi quite well. She was usually very calm no matter what happened, big or small. But this time, she was probably in big trouble.

Du He smiled and said, "This Taozi is a smart person. I'll keep an eye on her for her."

He could not imagine that Taozi, a maid, had such a long-term vision and knew that if the affair between Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji was exposed, she would be killed.

Taozi was right. If the person she married was not strong enough, she would not be able to avoid this disaster.

Linglong said happily when she saw Du He agreed.

"Thank you, sir!"

Li Yi looked at Du He with confusion on her face, but she did not ask the truth in front of Linglong.

Half an hour later.

When Li Yi and Du He were strolling along the path by the lake, she asked Du He why she helped Taozi.

As a princess who was high and mighty, she would never think of such a life-threatening thing unless it involved changing the dynasty or her involvement in a rebellion.

Li Yi asked curiously, "Husband, who are you going to introduce Taozi to?"

Du He thought about it in his mind, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he shook his head and said.

"There is no suitable candidate at the moment. I will keep an eye on it during this period of time."

Li Yi pouted and said, "Husband, you are not attracted to Taozi, are you?"

Forehead...

Du He's face froze.

He didn't expect that Li Yi would actually suspect that he had feelings for Taozi. Is he a person with such low requirements?

Du He cried out, "Yier, am I such a superficial person in your heart?"
