Marriage of the Di Daughter

One month after Princess Yongning and Li Xian got married, they lived in peace.

The heated discussion about this marriage in Yanjing gradually cooled down, and people were attracted by new and novel things. It seems that nothing major is going to happen in the DPRK and China, and everything is calm.

In the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Princess Yongning sat in the room and asked Mei Xiang to bring her pickled and salted plums to eat. After she became pregnant, she liked to eat sour food more and more, and asked Mei Xiang to prepare more on weekdays. Fortunately, she is still free in the Right Prime Minister's residence. Li Zhongnan and his son were busy with political affairs during the three days and were not at home. Except for Mrs. Li, there is no one else in this mansion. What's more, her mother-in-law is gentle and gentle, and she is obedient to her daughter-in-law. After marrying, Princess Yongning is also very satisfied.

On the night of the wedding, the pot of wine that Princess Yongning asked Mei Xiang to prepare did not come in handy. Li Xian blew out the lights as soon as he entered the door, and was drunk before walking a few steps. Princess Yongning finally dragged him to the bed and fell asleep herself. On the second day, there were traces of pre-preparation on the bed. Princess Yongning just needs to wake up with sleepy eyes.

Anyway, Li Xian was drunk, and drunk people don't know what they did.

After the wedding night, Princess Yongning refused to have sex with Li Xian on the grounds that she had suffered from the cold. She can't use these methods every day, because she is always afraid of showing her feet. And it was discovered that she was pregnant, and the child in her stomach was not sure if she could keep it.

Originally, Princess Yongning thought that Li Xian would be displeased or suspicious, but this Mr. Li really had a good temper as rumored, and he didn't question anything. I sleep in the study every night.

This made Princess Yongning even more satisfied. The baby in her belly will be almost two months in a few days. As long as Jieshi pretends to be unwell, ask the doctor to take the pulse, stagger the time slightly, and say that she was conceived on the wedding night, she can rest easy for the time being.

Today Li Xian went to court again early in the morning, Princess Yongning ate the last plum on the plate, stood up, and said: "It's boring to stay in the house all the time, Mei Xiang, go out for a walk with me."

Mei Xiang hurried over to help Princess Yongning walk outside Li's residence.

When the servants of Li's residence saw her, they all saluted one after another. Princess Yongning's status in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion can be said to be very high. I don't know if it was because King Cheng had greeted Li Zhongnan in advance, but in short, being at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is no different from being at the Princess' Mansion. Princess Yongning doesn't even have to go to her mother-in-law every morning and evening, as long as she can save face.

For Princess Yongning, she doesn't bother to please anyone. She thought that her stay in the right minister's residence was only temporary, and one day, she would marry into the Shen family and become a member of the Shen family. Therefore, there is no need to waste energy in the Li family.

"Which direction does Your Highness want to go?" Mei Xiang asked.

Princess Yongning took a look, then pointed in a direction, "Over there, I heard that Li Xian lives there on weekdays. I sleep in a separate room with him these days, and he has no complaints. Could it be that he has already lived in the other side? What kind of house is taken in? If it is true, then naturally I should come to see my wife, Bengong."

A trace of malice flashed in Princess Yongning's eyes. She didn't want to be Grandma Li, but once she had this title, it was her favorite thing to use it to torture others. Now that Li Xian and her are sleeping in separate rooms, Princess Yongning wants to see if Li Xian acquiesces, does it mean that there is another bed warmer? If it's true, she doesn't mind tidying up those women. Since this marriage made her unhappy, she changed her ways to make others unhappy.

Anyway, others didn't dare to say anything, and Li Xian didn't dare to say anything, they were just lowly women, how could he be disrespectful to himself because of those women?

With this in mind, Princess Yongning and Mei Xiang walked to the courtyard where Li Xian usually lived.

I heard that the courtyard where Li Xian lived was relatively remote, Princess Yongning really felt it this time, after walking for a while, she felt a little tired, maybe it was because of her heavy body now. Mei Xiang supported her as she walked, finally reached it, and said, "Your Highness, we're here."

But seeing that the yard is indeed quite elegantly built, a large piece of bamboo is planted behind the yard, which looks lush and lush. It just seemed extraordinarily quiet, and there wasn't even a sweeper outside.

"Is there no one to serve Mr. Li?" Mei Xiang whispered, "Why don't you even see a servant here?"

"How is it possible?" Princess Yongning also felt strange, she thought for a while, raised her eyebrows high, and said: "Maybe she is hiding in the golden house. Go, go in and have a look."

"Will Mr. Li be angry if you go in rashly like this? If there are any secrets in it..." Mei Xiang was still hesitating. Yongning glared at her: "Why is he angry? Bengong married into their family, so naturally he can watch it anywhere. Besides, so what if there is a secret? Could it be that he still wants to hide it from Bengong? The more you want to hide it, the more Bengong wants to Look clearly, and see what their Li family is planning behind their backs!" She said, pushed Mei Xiang away, and walked in by herself.

Mei Xiang was very helpless, Princess Yongning learned that she was pregnant before, and even restrained her temper for a while. Now that she is married to the Li family, and the wedding night has passed without incident, her temper is revealed again, she doesn't know how to bow her head, and she is even more flamboyant than before.

Mei Xiang followed in, only to see Princess Yongning standing at the door frowning, not going in. Mei Xiang looked inside, but saw that it was a study-like room, but there was another bed inside. It turned out to be very spacious, comparable to the usual large courtyard. Here, basic necessities of life are not a problem.

But it wasn't surprising that there were so many people in the room. They are all young teenagers or children, looking at their clothes, they look like well-dressed servants. They were all delicate and delicate.

Princess Yongning frowned, but she didn't find any maids in the room, which was beyond her expectation. She looked at the nearest child standing there. This child looked to be only eight or nine years old. He stared blankly at Princess Yongning and Princess Yongning, as if they didn't know each other. He didn't salute or speak, wondering if he was a fool.

"Who are you?" Princess Yongning asked him.

The child was still staring at her obsessively, without saying a word. Princess Yongning was about to get angry, but at this moment, another boy who was slightly older suddenly pulled the child, pointed at his mouth at Princess Yongning, and shook his head.

"Your Highness, they seem to be dumb." Mei Xiang saw it.

"Mute?" Princess Yongning was taken aback, looking at the other people in the room. There are about ten teenagers here. But they all stared at them blankly, without saying anything. Princess Yongning suddenly understood where the weird feeling came from after entering the room, it was because the room was too quiet. Isn't it strange that there are so many people, but there is no sound at all?

"Aren't these people all dumb?" Princess Yongning asked with a frown.

The boy holding the child nodded sharply.

"Really." Mei Xiang said.

"What is Li Xian doing here with so many dumb people?" Princess Yongning touched her arm, "It's weird."

"Perhaps these are servants. You can see that they are wearing the clothes of servants. By the way," Mei Xiang said, "I suddenly remembered that this young master Li was very kind and took in some innocent people. Orphans with no father and no mother. Let them be the current people in the house. The slaves didn't think of it before, but looking at these servants now, they are not very old, and it is very likely that they are orphans adopted by Mr. Li."

Princess Yongning sneered: "So, Li Xian is still a good person? But why is it such a coincidence that all the orphans he adopts are dumb? Could it be that he is poisonous and dumb?"

Mei Xiang paused, and said softly: "There are many secrets in every house. Since this is a study room, it seems that there are many important things hidden in it. Perhaps Mr. Li let these secrets be hidden in order to prevent these secrets from being discovered. Man becomes dumb."

It was obviously a very cruel thing, and it seemed to be very common for this master and servant to say it. Princess Yongning said: "Only the dead can keep secrets. If you really want to avoid being discovered, you can just kill these people. What else do you want to keep? Or you shouldn't bring them back to the mansion at all. I think this Li Obviously, an idiot."

Mei Xiang didn't speak, she was just a maidservant and couldn't talk about her master.

"Forget it, since there are no women here, it's not comfortable to keep them here, let's go." Princess Yongning glanced at these young boys again, and said: "If he wants to be a good person, let him do it. Anyway, it's not me who is stupid. palace."

Mei Xiang and Yong Ning left the room, the room was still quiet, after the door was closed, it seemed that there was no one inside. But in fact, there was a room full of people, thinking about these people doing things and walking around silently in the room, Princess Yongning felt a chill all over her body. Suddenly, she felt a nausea in her chest, and walked quickly to the tree in the yard, holding the trunk of the tree to vomit.

"Your Highness!" Mei Xiang exclaimed in surprise. Princess Yongning reached out to her: "Medicine!"

Mei Xiang took out the medicine from her sleeve and gave it to Princess Yongning. Princess Yongning rested against the tree for a while, and then said: "This reaction is getting bigger and bigger. In a few days, you will ask the doctor to come over and tell Li Xian that I am pregnant and it is less than one month old."

Mei Xiang nodded in agreement.

"These days, Shen Lang doesn't come to see me..." Princess Yongning said, her tone became sad again, "His own child doesn't care, so he allows me to marry into the Li family. If things come to light, He will also be implicated."

Mei Xiang was about to say a few words of comfort, when she suddenly heard a crisp sound of something falling on the ground from the wall, Princess Yongning turned her head: "Who?" , fell down before she could run a few steps, and was soon dragged by Mei Xiang to Princess Yongning.

"Who are you? You actually overheard Ben Gong!" Princess Yongning said angrily.

"Your Highness, please forgive me," the woman panicked, "My lady didn't hear anything! My lady didn't do it on purpose, she just walked to the wall and sprained her foot!"

"Servant girl?" Princess Yongning was taken aback, and looked at the woman carefully, seeing that the woman was not dressed like a servant, and her face was very familiar, so she couldn't figure it out for a while. On the contrary, Mei Xiang's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your Highness, this is Miss Jiang San from the capital's residence!"

Miss Jiang San? Jiang Youyao!

Jiang Youyao was terrified in her heart, she was extremely annoyed when she said the word "Chen Nu" in a hurry. At this moment, the servant girl next to Princess Yongning found out her identity, I really don't know what to do.

"Jiang Youyao?" Princess Yongning also remembered, and said, "Why are you in the Li family?"

Mei Xiang leaned closer to Princess Yongning and said, "A few days ago, Master Jing Zhaoyin said that the third miss of the Jiang family was missing, and Jiang Shoufu was looking for her everywhere, but for the sake of the reputation of the third miss Jiang, he didn't publicize it."

Princess Yongning came to a sudden: "Could it be that you have an affair with someone? Are you the one raised by Li Xian in the mansion?"

Jiang Youyao was taken aback, she knew that now that Princess Yongning and Li Xian were married, if she was regarded as a vixen who confuses Li Xian, she might have some means of thunder. So she quickly denied it, saying: "My daughter doesn't know Mr. Li. My daughter was killed by someone outside. Thanks to Mr. Li's help, Mr. Li took my daughter back to the mansion to recover from her injuries."

"Go back to the mansion to recuperate?" Princess Yongning smiled, "Why don't you go back to Jiang's mansion to heal your wounds? I'm afraid it's in the name of recuperating your wounds, doing things like this?"

What she said was so ugly, but Jiang Youyao didn't dare to refute. This is at the Li family, not at the Jiang family, no one can protect her. And the other party is Princess Yongning, that arrogant and domineering person.

"Your Highness, this girl cannot stay." Mei Xiang said in a low voice, "She just heard this servant talking to His Highness..."

When Jiang Youyao heard the words, she was so frightened that she trembled like a sieve: "My daughter didn't hear anything! My daughter didn't hear anything!" She was frightened out of her wits and screamed in her heart. Today, she had a dispute with the maids in Li Lian's courtyard, and she went out in a rage, thinking of Li Xian's courtyard, who knew that as soon as she arrived, she saw Princess Yongning and her maidservants coming from Li Xian's study room. out. Princess Yongning seemed very uncomfortable, retching while holding on to the tree, and then she heard the words of Princess Yongning's master and servant.

Knowing this great secret, she was terrified and wanted to run away immediately, but the more impatient she was, the more mistakes she made, she stepped on a stone and fell to the ground, and was discovered by Princess Yongning and Mei Xiang.

"The courtier didn't hear anything... um..." Jiang Youyao couldn't speak anymore, because Mei Xiang blocked her mouth with something and even twisted her arm.

With Princess Yongning, Mei Xiang will also have some kung fu, although it may not be the best, but it is more than enough to deal with Jiang Youyao who has no power to restrain her daughter. Jiang Youyao struggled desperately, but couldn't move, so she could only look at Princess Yongning mournfully with her eyes.

"Only the dead can keep secrets," Princess Yongning remained unmoved: "Who told you that you can wash away what you shouldn't have heard? Miss Jiang San, even if it's for the sake of this palace, you should go first. .”

"Your Highness," Mei Xiang said, "this Jiang Youyao is the daughter of the Chief Assistant, no more than an ordinary maid. If something happens, I'm afraid it will not be good to deal with the aftermath."

Princess Yongning said displeased: "What? You mean, I don't even have the ability to deal with a girl?"

"I don't dare." Mei Xiang continued: "It's just that the Jiang family has not given up looking for Jiang Youyao. If Jiang Yuanbai finds out that Jiang Youyao's death is related to His Highness, I'm afraid he will try his best to catch His Highness. His Highness now has Young master..." If Jiang Yuanbai finds evidence that Princess Yongning is pregnant, the child in Yongning's belly will make a fuss, and the loss outweighs the gain.

A trace of irritability flashed between Princess Yongning's brows, "Can't kill her? Are you going to keep her?"

"Your Highness, it's better to send her to a private prison first." Mei Xiang said: "Many people have already lived in Your Highness's private prison. This Miss Jiang San will not be discovered if she lives in it. Besides, just like Da Li Those dumb children in the son's house are like those, feed Miss Jiang San a dumb medicine, lock her in a private prison, and after a year or two, the Jiang family will no longer look for Jiang Youyao, so they can send her on the road."

Jiang Youyao clearly heard Mei Xiang talking about her fate, and immediately shed two lines of tears. She was terrified in her heart, and suddenly regretted that she would have stayed at Jiang's house if she had known. At least in the Jiang family, she is still the third miss, and no one dares to abuse her. If she hadn't left Jiang's house that night, she wouldn't have met Li Lian on the road, and if she hadn't met Li Lian, she wouldn't have been taken to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. If she hadn't been in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, she would never have seen Princess Yongning, learned about Princess Yongning's secret, and was silenced. Even if she died, no one would know about it, and no one would collect her body!

By the way, Li Lian! She still has Li Lian! In Jiang Youyao's heart, hope was suddenly ignited crazily. As long as Li Lian comes back and finds that she is missing, he will definitely look for her everywhere. After Li Lian knows that he was taken away by Princess Yongning, he will definitely become the master with Princess Yongning. Li Lian can save herself!

But the next moment, what Princess Yongning and Mei Xiang said was like a pot of cold water, which wiped out Jiang Youyao's hope with a "poof".

Princess Yongning said: "This Jiang Youyao belongs to Li Lian now, if we take her away, Li Lian may come to ask for someone."

"Not necessarily." Mei Xiang said with a smile: "Now that Jiang Youyao is staying in the Li family, no one outside knows about it, and the Jiang family probably doesn't know about it either. It seems that Li Xiang was also kept in the dark. His Highness took away only An ordinary maid is not Jiang Youyao. Second Master Li dare not admit Jiang Youyao's identity, he will only acquiesce. Your Highness is a princess, and it is easy to punish an ordinary maid. Second Master Li will not care about the princess, and even Thanks to the princess for tidying up his backyard."

"What you said makes sense." Princess Yongning stretched her brows, "Eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, he should really thank me."

Jiang Youyao's heart became completely desperate, she knew that she had no chance of life anymore. When the men of the Li family were away, Princess Yongning covered the sky with one hand in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. They blocked their mouths and called a woman to come. What awaited her was to be sent to that unknown and terrifying "private prison" destiny.

...

At night, Princess Yongning had just had her dinner when Mei Xiang came in and said, "Your Highness, Second Young Master Li is waiting for you outside, and I have something to say to you."

Princess Yongning knew well that Li Lian was asking her for someone. Jiang Youyao had already been sent to the private prison of the Princess Mansion, and Princess Yongning had already prepared for it, knowing that Li Lian would not do anything to her in the end. So Shi Shiran put on his robe and walked out.

Outside, Li Lian was sitting at the table waiting for her. Seeing her come out, he stood up and saluted, "Sister-in-law."

Hearing this title, Princess Yongning couldn't help but frowned, which reminded her that she was the grandma of the Li family, not "Mrs. Shen". Princess Yongning smiled and said: "Second brother came so late, what's the matter?"

Li Lian said: "I heard that my sister-in-law passed by my yard today and met my... maid Xiaoyao, and took her away."

"Oh, Xiao Yao," Princess Yongning prolonged the word "Yao" on purpose, looked at Li Lian's nervous expression, smiled, and said, "That's what happened. You were not polite and even spoke ill of each other, so Bengong disciplined the servant girl for you. The second younger brother is kind-hearted, but you can't indulge the servant girl in the house who doesn't even look down on the master, what kind of dignity is that."

She spoke absent-mindedly, which made Li Lian feel angry. No matter how thoughtless Jiang Youyao was, she would not take the initiative to run into Princess Yongning. Princess Yongning just took advantage of Jiang Youyao's absence, so she splashed dirty water as much as she wanted.

Li Lian forced a smile and said, "Dare to ask sister-in-law, where is Xiaoyao now?"

Princess Yongning glanced at Li Lian and said with a smile: "That maid is really evil. I thought that a maid like Xiaoyao couldn't stay in the house, and it would be a disaster if she stayed here, so she asked Ren Yazi to sell her out. No. There is no contract of sale, so it is almost free. That human tooth does not look like a person from Yanjing, so he may have been sent out of the city by now."

Li Lian was excited and looked at Princess Yongning. He didn't know if what Princess Yongning said was true or not, and he didn't know if Princess Yongning recognized Jiang Youyao's identity, and he didn't know how Jiang Youyao offended Princess Yongning—at that time No one else was in the yard, so they didn't know what happened.

Li Lian didn't know what to do, others didn't know, but he knew that it was Jiang Yuanbai's biological daughter, but something happened to their Li family. If it gets out, he can't get away with it.

Princess Yongning said nonchalantly: "Second brother don't need to be so sad, the left and right are just low-level maids. Since they are sold, they should never return to Yanjing City in this life. I don't take this matter seriously, I hope the two Brother, don't worry about it either. No one cares about the life and death of a servant girl. You don't have to worry about that maidservant's revenge, I won't give her a chance to retaliate when I work in this palace."

Li Lian was taken aback, and raised his head to look at Princess Yongning. The meaning of Princess Yongning's words is clearly that she already knew Jiang Youyao's identity, and she told him not to be frightened, she would not give the Jiang family a chance to find out the truth, and she would not let the Jiang family retaliate against him.

"How about it, second brother?" Princess Yongning looked at him with a smile, "You won't be angry with me because of an inferior maid?"

Li Lian hurriedly said: "How could it be? My sister-in-law taught me a lesson, and I am too grateful. Except for my mother, in our family, from now on, my sister-in-law will be the master of all affairs. If you encounter evil servants who deceive the master, please Sister-in-law helps with discipline."

This Li Lian knows current affairs, Princess Yongning was very satisfied, she smiled and said a few words with Li Lian, and then went back to her room.

After Li Lian waited for Princess Yongning to return to the house, she paused for a while before walking out slowly.

He thought it over clearly, Princess Yongning had promised her anyway, but let Jiang Youyao be seen again. No one knew about this matter, no one knew that Jiang Youyao had been in his house, and Li's house had just disposed of a low-level maid.

King Cheng's mission is right in front of his eyes. After success, their Li family will be honored and favored infinitely, and they cannot offend Princess Yongning. Whatever she wants to do, just do as she pleases.

Li Lian walked out the door and almost bumped into someone who came. He stopped and saw that it was Li Xian.

Li Xian looked at him and asked, "Did you make it clear?"

Li Lian nodded, "It's said to be sold." Li Xian also learned about today's events. After all, the first place Princess Yongning went to was Li Xian's yard. It was in Li Xian's yard that he saw Jiang Youyao.

"It's okay, let her be happy." Li Lian patted Li Xian's shoulder, "You want to go in?"

Li Xian nodded.

Li Lian said, "Then you don't want to annoy her." He went out.

Princess Yongning was sitting on the couch, after walking around Li Xian's courtyard today, she also felt sore legs and feet. She also wanted Mei Xiang to bring her some sour preserved fruit, when she heard Mei Xiang say at the door, "Master."

She looked up, and Li Xian walked in.

Princess Yongning was displeased in her heart, but her face was still calm, she said: "You are here. I am not in good health today, so I cannot welcome you."

Li Xian said: "No problem, the princess just sits."

The conversation between the two of them is really not like a couple, they are not even considered friends, even strangers may be more natural than them, instead of facing enemies like they are now.

Li Xian asked: "Has the princess been to my yard today?"

Princess Yongning said: "You are not here because of the maid of the second brother, are you?"

"It's just a maid, let the princess handle it." Li Xian shook his head with a smile, and said: "I heard that the princess has entered my house."

"Yes," Princess Yongning said, "I saw a room full of dumb people."

Li Xian's complexion changed slightly, but his tone was still mild, and he said, "Those are all orphans I adopted."

"Are you a good person or a bad person?" Princess Yongning sneered and said, "Adopting orphans and poisoning them dumb, those orphans are considered unlucky. If you don't want people to find out the secrets of the Li family, you might as well kill them all. Why keep trouble?"

Hearing this, Li Xian was a little stunned, but soon, he seemed relieved, and said with a smile: "It's really helpless. I made the princess laugh."

Princess Yongning didn't speak, Li Xian stood up, she was a little nervous, if Li Xian wanted to have sex with her, she would have to use the excuse that she was not well, but it was hard to avoid being suspicious.

But to her surprise, Li Xian didn't approach, but said to Princess Yongning: "Princess is not well yet, so I won't disturb her rest." He went out gracefully.

Princess Yongning was a little stunned.

When Li Xian walked out of the room, his steps suddenly became much lighter. He even smiled a little, and murmured in a low voice: "I didn't realize...that's really stupid."
