"Everyone is silent because you think someone has a better work?"

Li Liuli's words immediately caused an awkward moment in the hall.

The queen rolled her eyes at her black-hearted little girl and said, "Who can compare to Xiuzhu's talent and fame?"

"The Queen Mother and your aunts were shocked, and for a moment they were immersed in the realm brought by the poetry."

Concubine Li nodded upon hearing this.

"Sister, what you are talking about is the White Jade Palace in the sky, with twelve floors and five levels. What a beautiful poem."

Xian Fei also spoke up: "If you ask me, the sword is not the enemy of ten thousand people, but the literature is the best in the world. This sentence may seem arrogant and unruly, but it shows Xiuzhu's strength."

"I heard that this year's Poetry King is the Prince Consort, and several of Xiuzhu's masterpieces are also widely circulated in the Great Zhou."

“It is both realistic and artistic, wonderful and beyond words.”

Concubine Shu smiled gently and agreed, "I think the whole article is good, and every sentence is a good one."

Hearing this, Li Liuli smiled triumphantly and said to the dumbfounded Li Chengyu, "Thank you, third brother, for giving me the gambling house. I will have someone take it over tomorrow."

How dare you discuss poetry talent with my husband? He is a god.

"Wait, my brother-in-law's poem is indeed very good, but the content may not be written by him."

"Learning sword skills is just a joke, how can one become a writer? I heard that my brother-in-law is just a weak scholar, when did he ever learn sword skills?"

This is awkward, isn't it?

Li Xiuzhu smiled and asked, "Is it possible that I learned it in the military when I was a general?"

"Although I have worked hard for a while and have made some progress in swordsmanship, I can only barely protect myself."

"So there is the following sentence: The sword cannot defeat ten thousand men, but the writing is known all over the world."

This really made Li Chengyu feel numb. He couldn't find anything to criticize. It was just too outrageous.

My gambling house, you know, this gambling house can bring him thousands of taels of profit a day.

What a bastard.

Upon hearing this, the Queen looked at the Third Prince with disdain in her eyes and said calmly, "As a member of the royal family, your words must be binding. We are not only representing ourselves, but also the entire royal family."

"Chengyu, you know what to do, right?"

The Queen had already spoken, what else could Li Chengyu say? Hearing this, he lowered his head and replied in a very depressed tone: "My mother is teaching me that my brother-in-law can send someone to pick him up tomorrow."

"The gambling house is in the Qinrenfang, East Market."

Hearing this, Ruan Wenjun nodded slightly and looked at Concubine Hui beside her.

"Does Concubine Hui have anything to say?"

Concubine Hui shook her head when she heard this.

"Sister, you are joking. In this matter, Chengyu was unreasonable first and then impolite. Sister is the one who is teaching you a lesson."

Concubine Hui is Li Chengyu's mother. She looks virtuous, but I don't know if she has a bad heart.

At this time, Li Liuli spoke again and said coquettishly: "Oh, mother, please don't embarrass Concubine Hui. It's getting late. Let the brothers and sisters rest."

Hearing this, Ruan Wenjun rolled his eyes at his leaky little cotton jacket again, but he didn't say anything more. He said, "Okay, those under ten can have a rest, and the rest are up to you."

With that, Ruan Wenjun stood up and left.

As Ruan Wenjun left, several concubines also left one after another.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Li Liuli who was sitting down strangely, and asked curiously: "If I'm not mistaken, Concubine Hui is your third brother's biological mother, right?"

"Why are you still speaking for Concubine Hui?"

"This doesn't look like the Liuli I know."

Li Liuli smiled when she heard that, with an expression that said "you guess what".

At this time, Li Biyao beside her said softly: "Empress Hui is different from other concubines."

"Concubine Li is very careful and prudent, and never causes trouble."

"The virtuous concubine is unbridled, somewhat similar to Liuli."

"And Concubine Hui likes children. All of us princesses and princes have been treated tenderly by Concubine Hui."

Li Xiuzhu was startled, and keenly noticed the difference in the way Li Biyao addressed her.

"I still remember when I was a child my mother told me to be careful in the palace. The first time I met Concubine Hui was in the Imperial Garden."

"At that time, there was a plate of exquisite mung bean cakes in front of Concubine Hui, which looked very beautiful."

"Aunt Hui saw that I wanted to eat and asked me to eat, but I didn't dare."

"Aunt Huifei took a small bite herself, then broke it open and gave me the other half."

"I take a small bite every time. Do you understand that feeling, husband?"

"It just... feels very safe."

"Besides, if Concubine Hui has something in her palace and any of us like it, she will give it to us."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Aunt Huifei, she treats all of our children as if they were her own."

Li Xiuzhu felt that what he heard was a bit mysterious.

Is this a harem? Shouldn’t a harem be like the one in The Legend of Zhen Huan?

It's outrageous.

"Why is the harem you're talking about different from what I've heard? Isn't a harem supposed to be full of intrigues and deceptions? And every step is carefully planned?"

"Haha, who told you that?"

Compared to Li Liuli, Li Biyao's words were much more pertinent.

"Maybe this batch of concubines is a little special."

Li Xiuzhu asked curiously, "How is it so special? Don't people compete for favor? Father is only one person, not everyone has such a gift as your husband."

Li Bi Yao blushed when she heard this. This wicked husband really said whatever he wanted.

"It is said that Concubine Li had a childhood sweetheart before entering the palace."

"But later she was sent here as a marriage partner, so she no longer had any desires or requests."

"It is not a disaster for Concubine Li that the emperor is not going, but a blessing. After all, she has someone else in her heart."

"And let me tell you a secret, Concubine Li smells really good, that kind of smell is very special."

"It's like a garden in the sunlight, all filled with the fragrance of flowers."

Hmm, why does this feel so familiar? Childhood sweetheart, very fragrant, and was sent to marry.

Is it you, Xiang Fei? "Aunt Hui Fei loves children more than anyone else."

"Father thinks it's noisy so he doesn't go there much, and Concubine Hui doesn't care either."

"Shu Fei is gentle and uncompetitive, but she is the favorite concubine of the emperor."

"So the Queen Mother even mentioned Shufei to her face, and Shufei admitted her mistake directly, but said she didn't know how to refuse."

"Later, Concubine Shu's menstruation started to increase for unknown reasons, so my mother also made my father dissatisfied, and my mother went to the palace less often because of this."

"However, Concubine Shu often goes to pay respects to the Queen Mother, so the relationship between the two is very good."

"As for the title of virtuous concubine, she would not dare to compete with anyone except the queen mother, but the three noble concubines did not compete with her, and the lower-ranking concubines did not dare to compete with her either, so it was not bad."

"The virtuous concubine is just very competitive, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."

"As long as you give her face, Concubine Xian is easy to talk to and very generous."

"But the harem is indeed not that stable. Although the concubines at the top are all okay, the ones at the next level are more scheming."

"Every year, at least dozens of palace maids and eunuchs die in the palace, while at most one or two people die from my mother and the imperial concubine."

Satisfied, satisfied, the royal secret is so terrifying.
