Chapter 47 Heart's Wish
Li Jing did not start the court session.
But he was not idle either. There was too much to do. He ate and slept in the front yard.
The concubines and concubines in the backyard felt a little uneasy, so they sent people to investigate. The yard was full of maids and servants wandering around.
Concubine Feng was the busiest. She had to receive people who brought gifts, clean the yard, prepare large amounts of tea and food, and take care of the prince.
Running in the front and back yards shows one's special status.
At this moment in the garden, I saw several maids who served Concubine Tian and Aunt Wu hanging around the gate of the main courtyard.
He was so angry that he scolded him harshly.
The people around Concubine Tian took the little girl Jingjing with them, thinking that if they met the prince, they could get close to him. But the little girl was still young and was frightened by Concubine Feng.
The maid took it back and complained to Concubine Tian angrily!
The prince asked Concubine Tian to take the account book and banknotes to the front yard. After looking at the amount, the prince was quite satisfied and spoke to her very gently.
Although she hasn't been asked to sleep with him yet, no one else has been asked either... hehe, including Feng Li'niang.
Everyone is the same, and Feng is no special!
When she heard that her daughter was scared to tears by her, she was very dissatisfied: "Humph! She is just a housekeeper, and she really thinks she is a princess? She only manages those few things, and she thinks it's a big deal? It's just spending money, who can't do that? How can it be compared with what I do for the prince?
Humph! This time when the prince comes back, he will marry a new princess. Could it be that he can be as useless as Zhou Li last time? Just wait and see, she will suffer the consequences! "
Although he did not return to the backyard, the prince still took a medicinal bath the night before, had a massage from a masseur, and had a good sleep.
When I got up again, I felt that the long-term mental and physical fatigue had eased a little.
Someone came in and reported, "Your Highness, Aunt Zhao wants to see you!"
"Let her in! All of you go out." The prince spoke in a gentle tone, obviously giving face to Madam Zhao.
"Your Highness!" Nanny Zhao came in and bowed, her face full of smiles.
"Are you here? Please sit down!" The prince became much more casual in front of her.
Nanny Zhao sat down and said, "Your Highness, you have worked really hard these past two years."
"Not bad. How is he?" Li Jing didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"The young master is doing well. Better than before!" Madam Zhao was a little excited.
"I saw him once half a month ago! He was so tall that he almost reached Madam's ears. He was quite strong! And his temperament was not like that of the prince. He was more like you when you were a child, running and jumping flexibly, full of energy, and always teasing the gentleman.
He always made the gentlemen's beards stand up in anger, but everyone said he was smart. He could learn things quickly and understand everything at once."
Li Jing listened with great interest, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, with a rare gentleness, "Before, I heard from my mother that my eldest brother also teased the teacher for more than half a year. But he got better later!"
"It seems that the prince made a very wise decision to explain his background to the young master when he was seven years old. At that time, Nanny was worried that he was too young to understand and could not bear it, and even let it slip!"
Thinking of those sad past events, Aunt Zhao became proud: "After all, he is the prince's legitimate son, so he has a good character! Since he knew his life experience, he is not afraid or sad anymore, but a clear mind. He is not sad about the bad face that woman gave him. He is very strong at such a young age!"
Li Jing nodded: "When I let him enter the Liu family, I hoped that he could be trained according to the standards of aristocratic family children, so that I could maintain some relationships. Although I have been clearing the way for him in the front, but this world is full of treacherous people. That position is even more bloody. He must experience more and hone more from a young age!"
What he really wants is for his nephew to get the position that belongs to him!
For this, I will do it even if it means sacrificing my life!
Madam Zhao still felt a little aggrieved. "I heard that now it is Elder Liu and Master Liu who are personally taking care of him. That woman can't even get close to him, and can only secretly show her displeasure."
Hearing this, Li Jing's face also turned ugly: "Humph! Stupid woman! If it weren't for the Liu family father and son being reliable, I would have dealt with her long ago! Nian'er's homework was also sent to me. The handwriting is good, the ideas are clear, and it can be seen that he is open-minded. Considering his age and experience, it is not easy!"
His voice was full of heartache and admiration.
"Your Highness, the young master is so handsome! His eyes are clear, beautiful and lively. He looks so bright and energetic when he smiles, just like our princess. Your nephew, Aunt Xiao, couldn't be better!" Aunt Zhao was also unusually excited, her eyes slightly wet.
Li Jing burst out laughing. Women only care about appearance.
Just like back then, my sister particularly liked good-looking people. For example, that bastard Dongfang!
"I hope he grows up quickly. Once he has mastered his studies, I can bring him along to train him."
The young man they were talking about was Li Jing's elder brother, the posthumous son of the former crown prince.
After the prince died, the queen also died.
The Crown Princess was a pampered girl in her boudoir, and her brother loved her. At the critical moment, she was a character. I know that even if the baby in her belly could be born, it would not be easy for it to survive.
So, she took medicine and gave birth prematurely. She secretly gave the baby to Li Jing to take away, and then she staged a double murder.
Li Jing took great pains to take the baby away, but he was only a teenager at the time and had not yet married. Facing such a small meat ball, he was helpless.
Instead, we can find someone reliable to take care of him, ensure that he has enough food and clothing, and even go to school well.
However, men without family support will not be able to access many things and their horizons will be greatly affected.
In the future, he will sit in that position, so he must have the skills to match it!
It just so happened that the wife of the prince's good friend Liu Yuetong was about to give birth, so Liu Yuetong was asked to take the baby home. However, he certainly could not reveal the identity of the baby, so Liu Yuetong begged his wife to recognize him and told everyone that they were twins, a boy and a girl.
Liu Yuetong's wife, Mrs. Hu, had known him since childhood. He was a soft-hearted man who doted on his wife. He also liked to do things like spring flowers and autumn moons, which were very boring.
So when Mrs. Hu asked him about the origin of the child, he didn't dare to lie or tell the truth. He just begged without explaining. He begged on his knees...
Mrs. Hu was a proud and self-righteous person. She saw a small black mole under the baby's lip... How could it be such a coincidence that Liu Yuetong also had one in a similar position. Her eldest son Liu Jian... also had one!
Actually, Liu Yuetong and Liu Jian also have moles on other parts of their bodies, quite a lot, so they are people with moles...
But Mrs. Hu did not see it that way. She believed that this illegitimate child was born from her husband and the woman outside.
But she couldn't say this out loud, for fear that it was true. If she said it out loud, their relationship would be over and they wouldn't be able to live like this anymore.
So, she felt that she was "bearing humiliation" and "very strong" to swallow the bitter fruit and agree to it.
She named her Liu Nian, and her second daughter Liu Siwan were considered twins.
The matter was done, and Liu Yuetong thought it was settled and was quite happy.
But Mrs. Hu couldn't get over it and treated Liu Nian very badly.
Liu Yue is also a man, it is impossible for him to be in charge of the rear house.
Li Jing was away from the capital for many years and had to avoid suspicion, so he didn't know many things.
In this way, Liu Nian spent a childhood of being neglected and even abused. When he was four years old, Hu took him out and "lost" him...
In order to find him, Li Jing exposed several hidden connections.
In order to vent his anger, Li Jing broke Liu Yuetong's arm.
Only then did he arrange secret guards for Liu Nian.
I originally planned to wait until Liu Nian was twelve years old before explaining his background to him. But looking at this bean sprout-like, somewhat gloomy boy, I told him in advance.
Unexpectedly, from then on, the self-abased, timid, sensitive and melancholy boy suddenly became bright and even started to play naughty!
Thinking of this, Li Jing chuckled: "My eldest brother's offspring, their bones are precious!"
Madam Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "Your Highness, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will meet at Dajue Temple!"
"Yes. I have found some good things for him and also prepared a team for him. When we meet, tell him about it and let him get to know each other slowly. When he is twelve years old, I will give him everything!"
"Mammy, I have also prepared a team of people for the young master to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Find an opportunity to put them by his side."
"You have always been tactful in these matters. Zhao Zuo and Zhao You have performed very well! But they are still a bit flamboyant. After two more years of training, I will arrange a way out for them!"
But Aunt Zhao shook her head: "They are needed by the prince, so they should follow you. When the big thing is done, you can arrange for them!"
"Yeah. Is everything alright in the mansion?"
He knew that Nanny Zhao was not often in the mansion nowadays, but if there was an important event, she would still be able to know what she wanted to know.
"Everything is fine in the mansion. The concubines on both sides and several concubines are all safe and sound. Concubine Feng is also doing well in socializing with the outside world. Prince, I'm afraid you are going to mention getting married when you come back this time!?"
Li Jing frowned...
