met father-in-law

【Seven】

Speaking of Li Yu's marriage is an embarrassing thing in the palace.

Most of the fifteen princes above him are already married, and some children with faster hands and feet are as tall as Li Yu's waist.Those who haven't yet been married are all settled, and they can get married on an auspicious day. Only Li Yu has never heard of the word "marriage" at the age of adulthood.

This is not to blame Li Yu, his status is embarrassing and his status is not high, but he still has the title of a prince, because with this title, he must be in a good family and want to find a lady from a big family, but ladies with status are not stupid Everyone knows that Li Yu is not a royal family member, so naturally no one would look up to him.In fact, there are many princes whose mothers are not high in the palace, but their mothers are still there, and they have to take care of them. The marriage of the Eighteenth Prince, who is three years younger than him, has been settled.

Li Yu didn't mind this kind of thing too much, what he cared about was that the palace was deserted, there were no servants, and only the father-in-law with high authority came here, and the father-in-law was busy with business, so he could only come here during dinner time.Most of the time, Li Yu sighed at the empty palace, thinking that someone would make him angry.

"I'll find some servants for you to come over." The father-in-law said.

"Forget it, it's not easy for those people. It's too wronged for a master like me." Li Yu shook his head, he knew very well how the previous batch of servants left.

"Then the girl won't be wronged if she marries you?" the father-in-law said again.

Why didn't Li Yu himself know that if he married himself, he wouldn't even have enough to eat, he would have no status if he had no servants, and he would have to be coldly looked at in this palace, only a fool would marry him.The father-in-law is really poking at the heart of the heart, it's too mean!

【Eight】

Once again, the marriage matter was left unsolved. Li Yu was honestly working in the Hongwen Museum. The atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense day by day.

But not every prince is like him, such as the eighth prince.

The eighth prince was the second to be sent to the clan mansion after the third prince, and Li Yu was brought up for questioning before that.

The eighth prince can be regarded as the best among these princes. In his opinion, in this battle for the crown prince, except for the third prince who has military power, no one can compete with him.So he eradicated the third prince, so thoroughly that the eighth prince lost his position and directly entered the clan mansion.The third prince is gone. The eighth prince thinks that the prince has nothing to fear. Although the prince is a prince, he is indeed a dying person.

After the fall of the third prince, how did the eighth prince feel that he was the "virtuous", and the prince was only the prince because he was the eldest son.But the prince is terrifying and also terrifying because he is the eldest son, and standing behind him is the mother of a country.

The so-called mantis catching cicadas and orioles are behind, and the eighth prince is still a little tender in front of the queen.The queen's natal family is the prime minister of the current dynasty, who was a veteran and important minister who followed the late emperor to conquer the country. The prime minister said that the eighth prince framed the third prince, and the emperor took action.

The place where Li Yu was brought up for questioning was in the imperial garden this time, where the emperor was sitting there fanned by the maids, but the father-in-law was not around.

The emperor asked him what he thought of this matter.

Li Yu pretended to be stupid, saying that the eighth prince and the third prince were all estranged from him.

The emperor would be angry when others said this, because he hated discord between his brothers the most, but Li Yu was special, and his lack of blood relationship made him a special case.

The emperor asked him what he should do about it.

Li Yu said that one is not filial and the other is not fraternal, and the father has the right to deal with his son.

These words have reached the emperor's heart. He wanted to get rid of the two sons in his heart, but he couldn't help being criticized for taking down the two sons in a short time.But Li Yu found reasons for him, one was disrespectful to his father, the other was unfriendly to his elder brother, besides, it was only natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son.

Then the emperor looked at Li Yu differently.This cheap son is different from his other sons, he does not have the influence of his mother and concubine's family like other princes, all his wealth depends on his father, he is the most loyal of all the emperor's sons, and this loyal It will become the capital for him to seize the throne, because everyone knows that his surname is the emperor's surname, and the blood is not royal. Can he still give the world to an outsider?

Li Yu didn't know that he had been turned into someone close to the emperor in the emperor's heart, but he was simply happy that he survived.

Sure enough, what Gonggongjiao said made sense, and he deserved to be a eunuch with great power.

Li Yu met his father-in-law on the way back, and talked about the situation just now with great joy.

The father-in-law smiled slightly after listening.

Li Yu was stunned.

The father-in-law looks really good-looking, his eyebrows are like green mountains, and his eyes are far-reaching.Slender and personable.There is another story in the palace about the good looks of the father-in-law. It is said that when Mr. Fang, the minister of the household department, met the father-in-law for the first time, he was in the imperial garden.The lotus pond in the palace was taken care of by a special person, and the flowers bloomed very beautifully that year.At that time Master Fang passed by there, saw his father-in-law, and unconsciously said, "The lotus is like Wenlang".

This is actually a bit disrespectful, although it is praised that the father-in-law looks better than the lotus, but the father-in-law is a eunuch after all, and he can't afford to say "Wen Lang".

But this little thing doesn't hurt this compliment, and soon the phrase "Lotus is like a Wenlang" was spread, and the father-in-law became famous for his good looks, and even the peasants in the countryside could say that they didn't know how good-looking the eunuch was.

The eunuch Lu Chuiwen didn't know the reason for Li Yu's sudden stupor, so he educated him again.

"Little Pomegranate is amazing. I don't know if His Majesty let you go because he likes you to be distracted."

Li Yu felt that his father-in-law was still very annoying, and there were still people standing beside him, so he dared to speak like that.

"Then I will take a step forward."

The father-in-law ignored Li Yu, and his posture was very similar to that of a servant to the prince.Li Yu was even more surprised, the father-in-law was indeed a fan.

The days passed by for several months, and after autumn, Li Yu began to worry about winter.

The most direct manifestation of his lack of power in the palace is that he can't get a share in the palace. It's a blessing to get the monthly money, but he doesn't have much share in other food and clothing expenses.For example, he can't get enough cloth and can't make new clothes. He doesn't care about this, and it's not that he can't wear old ones.Another example is that he can't get rewards. Usually, whatever the emperor gets is rewarded to the palaces. Li Yu's share is obviously used to fill other palaces. He doesn't care about that. Those things are mostly accessories. It's useless.There is also the scorching heat in summer, the palace will send some ice cubes to the palaces to cool off the heat, so naturally Li Yu can't get such a valuable thing, he doesn't complain, and he doesn't feel too hot when he fanned it.

But there was one thing he really couldn't help but worry about, and that was the charcoal for the winter.He has been afraid of the cold since he was a child, and his mother and concubine naturally do not lack these things in the Palace of Time, and he can still spend the winter warmly.But now his allowance has been repeatedly deducted, last year's charcoal was not enough, and he didn't have thicker clothes, so he almost didn't survive the winter.

It was only autumn and Li Yu had to start planning for winter.

Li Yu stepped on the gate of the House of Internal Affairs no less than three hundred times, and the eunuch in charge thought he was annoying.

"Your Highness won't come here to embarrass our family. Where can we get charcoal for you in autumn? Your Highness must be too impatient."

Li Yu listened too much to these sarcasm, and was not angry at all. Instead, he had to please the eunuch in charge.

"I don't want it now, just to remind you not to forget me when the time comes."

"Yo? Your Highness, aren't you blaming our family for neglecting our duties?"

Li Yu sighed helplessly, it seemed that today was in vain again.

If this matter is not resolved, Li Yu is always uneasy in his heart. He was still alive in the melee, but he lost his life in the winter, and it really made people laugh when he said it.

In the evening, my father-in-law came over for dinner, and the people behind him brought in many large boxes.

"What is this?" Li Yu asked him.

The father-in-law glanced: "Look for yourself."

There are more than a dozen large boxes filled with charcoal.Li Yu was surprised.

"Let's prepare it first. I'll send someone to bring some when winter comes." The father-in-law opened another box, "You should wear these clothes first. Recently, some ladies made new clothes. There is not much fabric left. Wait a minute. New material from the weaving side, and I'll make some winter clothes for you."

Li Yu lowered his head and said nothing.

The father-in-law is actually very good to him.

"By the way, little pomegranate, you didn't go to the Hongwen Museum today, did you? Your salary will be deducted next month." The father-in-law said again.

Well, it was just an illusion.
