When Empress Yin came out of the Yangxin Palace, she went to Fengzao Palace.

On the phoenix chariot, Queen Yin's face lost the solemnity it had in the Yangxin Hall, and returned to her extremely beautiful smile.

Emperor Long'an had five sons and two daughters in his life. Except for the eldest son Li Jing and the fifth son Li Xuan, the second son Li Yao, the third son Li Xiao and the fourth son Li Shi were not her children.

Although they all raised her by her side and respected her as their legitimate mother, when they grew up, their thoughts began to change as they grew up to be princes who were not their children. Especially after they left the palace and opened a mansion as adults, the people around them became mixed, and they also

He is no longer as sensible as he was when he was young.

Among them, the second son of the emperor, Li Yao, has changed the most...

Empress Yin was extremely smart, so naturally she would not do anything to Li Yao directly. Not only would she not do anything to him, but she would take care of him as she had in the past many years. From time to time, she would reward Li Yao with gifts from the palace, or invite them into the palace for family banquets.

However, Empress Yin always supported Li Yao's concubine Bai Shi, intentionally or unintentionally, and raised her status.

It is precisely because of this that the Bai family can travel to and from the royal palaces of the clan as the concubine of the county king.

In addition, Bai was born into a wealthy family of salt merchants and was never short of money, so she became friends with many royal concubines. Even within the palace of Keqin County, her status was terrifyingly high, even slightly surpassing the royal concubines.

Chen.

This is Empress Yin's method.

Very simple, but also extremely practical.

Because no Confucian courtier would tolerate a prince who allowed his concubine to be spoiled and his wife to be destroyed to become a prince.

The harder Bai dances, the further away Li Yao is from that position!

Coupled with the emperor's dislike of Jingchu's old ministers...

Ah.

Thinking of this, Empress Yin gently pinched her eyebrows with her delicate white hands.

She is only thirty-six years old, but due to proper maintenance, she now looks more like she is in her twenties.

It is the mature age when every move, every smile, and even a look in your eyes are full of feminine beauty.

Of course, she would only show this kind of description in front of Emperor Long'an.

Outside, she is still the dignified and virtuous queen.

After a cup of tea, Fengchao entered Fengzao Palace. After meeting Jia Yuanchun, Queen Yin's first words were:

"Jia Nvshi, I would like to congratulate you!"

…

Yanyuan Yamen, Dongluyuan.

guest house.

When Jia Qiang came here, as soon as she entered the hospital, she saw a woman supporting Li Fu and walking slowly in the hospital.

Li Fu had been bedridden for more than three years, and now he was able to get out of bed. In addition to Jia Qiang who brought in the imperial doctor and strange medicines, the woman who supported him also made great efforts.

This honest woman, who looks like an ordinary peasant woman, is Sun Yan, the fawn who runs a brothel and has rescued countless abandoned babies and ugly girls in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Of course, she also has a nickname: Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

Because I had an old relationship with Li Fu back then, but I just didn't want to drag down the wealthy people in the capital, so I never contacted him.

Now that Li Fu was like this, she put aside the burden in her heart and came to the house by herself, willing to be an aunt.

It was also she who used a unique secret recipe that surprised the two palace doctors, and used silver needles to prick acupoints, which greatly advanced Li Fu's recovery date.

It also made Jia Qiang truly realize that there are indeed capable people hiding in the grass in the land of China.

It's a pity that this capable man is wild and cannot be used to its full potential.

Jia Qiang herself would not believe that a woman who could survive in the most prosperous and complex place and could raise so many women was a helpless person.

Moreover, this Aunt Sun also made it clear to Jia Qiang that she could take action, and there was no need to talk about being a slave or subordinate.

That day, Aunt Sun and her adopted daughter Sun Qin were the ones responsible for the crime inside Sixi Tower.

Of course, although the person is wrong, the incident of annihilation is true, because the information was provided by the Qi family...

"Uncle Li, Aunt Sun, do you have anything to do with me?"

Early this morning, someone was sent here to tell Jia Qiang that they wanted to see him. Jia Qiang waited until she was done with her work before coming to see him.

Li Fu still didn't seem to want to talk to Jia Qiang, but Aunt Sun was willing to speak, and asked with a smile: "Our master would like to ask the second master, why has Jing'er not seen anyone in the past few days? Even though I am a pawn for you.

I can’t lose my concubine.”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes, said "Oh", and said with a smile: "There is a big commotion on Jufeng Island. It will be used in a big way after the New Year, but there are not enough manpower at the moment, so I asked Xiaojing to collect more

Available heroes."

These words were despised by the two old Jianghu. Li Fu snorted and said in a low voice: "I told Jinsha to go south to work for you, but you don't want it yourself. Now that you are looking for people outside, do you think those people can be trusted?

"

Aunt Sun said in surprise: "I heard from the head of the family, He Jing'er, that you have never believed in Jianghu people, thinking that we are idle and unworkable, unable to farm, unable to do business, unable to obtain fame, and only know how to exchange lives for food.

Now, why are you thinking about recruiting people from outside?"

Jia Qiang first talked to Li Fuda: "Although Jiangnan is a foundation place, it is just a small island after all. When I return to Beijing in half a year, that is where dragons and tigers compete. Good steel is used on the blade, and the Jinsha Gang's manpower will wait until that time."

Time comes in handy.”

Then he said to Aunt Sun: "I only do peripheral menial work, and I can barely do it. There is nothing I can do. Auntie can't trust a man from an official family like me. She always thinks that I will make your people die and work hard. In fact, at most I am responsible for Jufeng Island."

According to my original intention, Uncle Li's body and bones will need to be recuperated for at least three to five years. The North is not suitable for cultivation. Why not just stay with my aunt on Jufeng Island to recuperate and help me train a group of people. Where is my aunt?

, also go to the island, first to look after me, and secondly, to take care of Uncle Li. My aunt has the power of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, and she has a group of absolutely trustworthy masters. I don’t need you to lead people to kill people and set fire to them.

I only lead people to protect a small island of 300 acres..."

Hearing this, Aunt Sun smiled angrily and said: "It's easy to say that three hundred acres is not a big place, but the island is surrounded by waterways on all sides, and you can land on the island from anywhere. How can it be easy if you have to defend it carefully? I, the Emperor,

The imperial city we live in is only about a thousand acres, and there are tall walls to defend it. How many imperial guards are there? How can I defend it?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Single-person boats can naturally land on the island everywhere, but there are many reefs around Jufeng Island. I also asked the Qi family to deliberately sink a few more dilapidated boats in the surrounding waterways. In addition to the dock waterways, the waterways in other places

Everything will be blocked. Besides, there are still several checkpoints on the island, and the layout of the workshop also pays attention to protection. In short, as long as you pay attention, it won't be too difficult."

Hearing this, Aunt Sun put a smile on her ordinary face and said to Li Fu: "Master, what do you think? This is the point... If you don't agree, I'm afraid Jing'er won't even be able to come back.

Already."

Li Fu glanced at Jia Qiang lightly, then used a bamboo branch as a crutch, went back to the house, and sighed in a low voice: "Children are all debts."

He calls himself a hero all his life, but now he can only pay off his daughter's debt...

After Li Fu went in first, Aunt Sun reminded Jia Qiang in a low voice: "Your Uncle Li's son will be yours in two days. Although I can't be your father-in-law, I can still be considered an elder, right? Give him a good crutch as a birthday gift."

, It’s a heartfelt wish. In the past two years, he was afraid that he would have to be on crutches.”

Jia Qiang nodded in agreement, and heard Aunt Sun ask again: "Where has Jing'er gone? Can her father's son come back?"

Jia Qiang shook her head apologetically: "I'm afraid I can't."

After hearing this, Aunt Sun took a deep look at Jia Qiang and said, "Don't let Jing'er get hurt, and don't let us worry."

Jia Qiang nodded, and Aunt Sun returned to the house.

At this moment, Jia Qiang felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have let Li Jing do what she had been planning for a long time. Why now it seems that he is about to become a bully and a bad guy...

…

In the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall again in Yangzhou Prefecture.

The side hall of Yanyuan.

Jia Qiang sat at the main seat and drank tea with a calm expression. On the side, Qi Jun said helplessly: "Why don't you think highly of my Qi family? Besides, I'm not recruiting you to marry into my Qi family. Who should give this face to me?"

look?"

As the future leader of the Qi family who was trained by Qi Taizhong, Qi Yun also felt arrogant in his heart.

Today, he escorted his "new" grandmother and sister to visit him. Jia Qiang looked at him with eyes and noses, which made him feel a little angry.

Seeing that he had reached this point, Jia Qiang stopped hiding it and sneered: "Brother De'ang, I'm not saying bad things about people behind their backs, I'm saying them to their faces... Your Qi family seems to be strong and invincible, but now there seems to be foreign troubles.

Clear up, but what's going on in your family, why do you need me to talk? Your father, your second uncle, your third uncle... By the way, and your uncles and brothers who are concubines, none of them can save fuel! The cooperation between our two families is a cooperation.

You can avoid it by getting married, and you can't afford to provoke her."

Qi Jun laughed angrily and said: "You... are so self-righteous! We in the Qi family don't know the problems you can see. What kind of person is my grandfather who would leave such hidden dangers to me?"

When Jia Qiang heard this, she raised her eyebrows lightly, grasped the flaw and said: "Give it to you?!"

Qi Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "You are really a clever person, and you can't leave any loopholes. That's right, it's for me. My father has returned to his ancestral home to guard his ancestral graves, and his second uncle will go south soon.

He was preparing to go to sea. The third uncle went to Jinling and sang romantic songs with him. As for the other uncles and brothers who were born in the same house, they each received a sum of money and established their own families."

Jia Qiang took a deep breath and said, "Are they willing?"

Qi Jun sneered and said: "When our ancestors speak, who dares to say no? Furthermore, they have been given a lot of money, and they no longer have to be restrained under the eyes of my ancestors. They can live in peace and order."

It’s too late for them to be happy when they go out and start their own business.”
