Although there are many brothers and sisters in the family, they are not close to each other. Among the eleven children of the Li family, only the elder sister Li Yuerong and the younger brother Li Xu share the same mother as Li Ke, and they have the closest relationship.In fact, from the standpoint of the prince of the new dynasty, Li Ke also felt that the members of the Xiao clan should be severely punished to win over the hearts of the people, but his sister was too concerned about his cousin who had only met him a few times when he was young, so he had no choice but to let his father In front of him, he "pained the interests and harms", and begged his father to treat the former clan well.

Seeing that his sister was worried at this moment, Li Ke naturally wanted to comfort her with words: "Sister, don't worry, where is the green hill? There is no firewood to burn. Sister Xueqiong has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she must be ignorant of world affairs. She can save her life and stay in the palace. It's not a bad thing. Now that the new dynasty is just established, everyone is naturally staring at her, after a while the limelight has passed, find a reason to get her out of the palace, and change her status to a good one."

Li Yuerong felt that it was reasonable, and relieved a lot, and sighed: "That's the only way to go."

"By the way, today there is still the matter of the courtiers proposing the establishment of the reserve." Li Ke kept his voice extremely low, making sure that only the two people around him could hear it.

Li Yuerong's heart skipped a beat, just to be on the safe side, she still led Li Ke into the inner room to talk.Zhao Xu naturally followed in. He and Li Yuerong were just a couple in name, but they seemed more reserved than Li Ke after entering, for fear of offending Li Yuerong.

"What did the emperor say?" Li Yuerong asked.

"What else can I say, but I just said some high-sounding words to prevaricate." Li Ke sneered.

Li Yuerong also sneered: "Isn't he thinking about those two little bastards?"

Li Yuerong's father's name is Li Ji, and he has seven sons and four daughters.Before he took the throne, Li Ji was also like the sons of the nobles. When he learned about the affairs, he took in two housemates. The two daughters gave birth to a son for him, namely Li Yuerong's eldest brother Li Chu and second brother Li Mian. At the age of 15, Li Ji married the daughter of an important official of the Xiao Dynasty, Liang Shi, the younger sister of Empress Xiao, but Liang Shi was ill-fated and died of dystocia, and the child was not kept.During this period, Liang's dowry maid gave birth to another son for Li Ji, who was Li Yuerong's third brother Li Yan.Two years later, Li Ji married Qiao Shi, the daughter of a prominent Yizhou family. Qiao gave birth to a daughter and two sons, Li Ji's eldest daughter Li Yuerong, fourth son Li Ke, and seventh son Li Xu.

It is worth mentioning that, less than a year after Mrs. Qiao gave birth to Li Ke, Li Ji brought a pair of twin babies from outside, saying that they were the posthumous children of a deceased friend. Tuogu.Although Qiao had some doubts, she still recognized the two children as parents at Li Ji's request.She didn't realize it when she was young, but she didn't know that the two children grew more and more like Li Ji. Later, Qiao realized that she was deceived by her husband and accepted the son of the outer room as a legitimate son for nothing.These two children are the two little bastards in Li Yuerong's mouth, Li Ji's fifth son Li Zhen and sixth son Li Zhi.After Qiao's death due to illness, Li Jicai took the two's biological mothers back to the Li family as concubines.

As for Li Ji's other three daughters, they were all born of concubines.Therefore, in the final analysis, Li Ke is the eldest son of Zheng'er Bajing, and there is no doubt that he will inherit the family business according to the law, but now that the family business has become a country, there are more opportunities to do things, especially in Li Ke. Ji himself also has such a wish.

"In my opinion, the sixth brother is not successful, but the fifth brother is still a bit of a joke." Speaking of such a shocking event as the competition for the crown, Li Ke still smiled at Yan Yan.

Li Yuerong rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Really? I think the third brother has a better chance of winning. Although his city is not as good as the fifth brother, he has a smart biological mother."

Zhao Xu listened carefully and tried hard to digest.

"So, it doesn't matter whether it's the third brother or the fifth brother. Let's watch the show slowly." Li Ke held his chin and winked at his sister, and Li Yuerong gave her a flick of the head.

"Sister, do you want to bet with me?" Li Ke rubbed his head and said, sister's hand strength is really not bad.It's really risky to be cute, so you need to be cautious when teasing your sister.

Li Yuerong sat lazily on the wooden chair, knocked on her legs, and looked like a female hooligan: "What are you betting on?"

"If brother, I am lucky, whether it is a country or a beauty, I will definitely give my sister whatever I want; if my brother loses, I just hope that my sister will not dislike Zhuang Zhuang and lead him to live a peaceful life."

Zhuang Zhuang is the nickname of Zhao Xu, the "head of the family" who is on the sidelines. He was obviously shocked by Li Ke's words, and he held Li Ke's hand tightly and kept talking, regardless of his wife who was still on the side. : "No, no... I don't agree...."

Li Ke held him back, but didn't answer. He just looked at his sister fixedly. He needed an answer that would allow him to fight hard without any worries.

Li Yuerong raised her eyes, without any hesitation or retreat: "I won't bet with you, because sister won't let you lose."

She had expected this day a long time ago. From the day she was discharged from the military, she knew what kind of scheming his father was hiding behind the warning to "be a husband and a son".

It's just that, father, you seem to have forgotten that I am not only your daughter, but also the daughter of my mother, and I am also the eldest sister of Li Ke and Li Xu.

Oh, by the way, I still boast that Haikou will protect Sister Xueqiong's Sister Yuerong.

The author has something to say: Is there any little angel here~ let's make a fuss. (^o^)/

☆、Chapter 3

"Sister Yuerong, will you always remember Xueqiong?"

"This..." The girl feigned hesitation, pondered for a while and said sincerely: "To tell you the truth, my memory is so bad that sometimes I can't even remember the names of my younger brothers."

When Xiao Xueqiong heard this, she felt as if her strength had been sucked away, she shrugged her little head raised in anticipation, her pink lips were tightly pressed together.

Guessing that this cute little sister would start to sob if she teased her any longer, Li Yuerong smiled and took her tender little hand:

"How about this, when I return to the court with my father and brother, I will take you to my house. We play together during the day and sleep together at night. In this way, no matter how bad my memory is, I will never forget it." your."

......

Late at night when dreaming childish.

After her mother passed away, Xiao Xueqiong seldom had a good night's sleep. She often woke up suddenly, and it was not uncommon for Xiao Xueqiong to wet her pillow towel with tears.This time she gradually woke up from a hazy dream, brushed her cheek subconsciously, but did not touch the teardrops, only the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, it turned out that she was actually smiling.

It's hard to go back to sleep after waking up.Firstly, it was because the dream brought back memories of the past, and the mood was turbulent; secondly, it was because the strong women in the same house were snoring like thunder, and the willow buds in the bed were still grinding their teeth, accompanied by the faint smell in the room, which made Su Xi Xiao Xueqiong, who was clean and quiet, had a headache.

Thinking about it this way, although the past life was gloomy, it can't be said that it was useless, after all, the cage I lived in back then was woven by Jin Si'er.Now, after the new emperor issued a decree to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty, Xiao Xueqiong was not sent to the Yeting Palace for labor, and the golden wire cage became a straw one.

Yeting can be said to be the "harem" of the harem, and it has been indispensable in all dynasties. Xiao Xueqiong knew a thing or two about it when she was a princess.

According to the distribution of halls and their respective functions, Ye Ting can be divided into three parts: the north, the south, and the middle: the Chuxiu Palace in the middle is the residence of low-ranking female officials and maids of no rank.The maids living here are all sons of good families. They were selected into the palace to serve the emperor and concubines, and they will be sent back home when they reach the age of 25.If you are favored by the emperor before the expiration of the term, or if you are made a female official because of your outstanding talents and skills, you can stay in the palace for the rest of your life.In addition, there are also those who have neither been favored by the emperor nor appointed female officials, but are exempted from leaving the palace because they are valued and loved by the empress and concubines. Such maids are generally called "aunt" and "mom".

To the south of Yeting is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is an institution run by eunuchs, responsible for teaching and managing the harem ladies.

Xiao Xueqiong is located in the north of Yeting, where female prisoners of war, relatives of criminal officials and other female slaves who have been deprived of good registration are served. Different emperors in different dynasties and even the same dynasty have different names during their reigns. Now they have changed to the previous dynasties. The name of "Slavery House" was changed to "Women's House".Although the name has changed a lot, the truth inside is the same. This is the place responsible for the hard work in the harem.

Although the female slaves in the women's slavery were also called court ladies like the women in Chuxiu Palace, they were different in terms of status, responsibilities, and fate.In terms of status, there is a difference between good and bad; in terms of duties, the maids of Chuxiu Palace learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The female slaves in the village do dirty and heavy work.No matter what kind of fairy-like delicate appearance you had when you first came, in just a few years, your skin will be rough and fleshy, and your hands and feet will be calloused.Let’s talk about the ultimate fate of these two kinds of people. The maids of the Chuxiu Palace have the chance to be appreciated by the emperor, and the concubine loves to fly to the branches. He will spend his whole life in endless labor in the palace.Maybe in his later years, he could find a good eunuch and be a "husband and wife" to avoid loneliness.
