Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

When the Li family arrived, it was late.

I was thinking about taking a day off and coming back tomorrow, but Aunt He couldn't bear the money for accommodation, so she pulled passers-by to the side of the road and asked clearly it was convenient.

All the way, Aunt He knew why the passer-by looked weird. King Palace is indeed easy to find. Most of the city is King Palace, so you can walk a little further inside.

Before they reached the gate of the palace, they were stopped by a team of soldiers. The Li family couldn't help being in awe when seeing the soldiers and guards with clear armour and strict discipline.

After explaining their intentions, one of the leading soldiers asked them to wait for a while, then turned and left, leaving the group of guards watching them.

A row of three dilapidated carriages, corresponding to this team of brightly armored guards, looked really shabby.

Aunt He was sitting in the car, half-tied the curtain and looked outside, vaguely you could see the towering city wall in front of her.

My boy, this is the palace?How does it feel like a city!

After a while, the leading soldier turned back, and with a raised hand, a soldier led the carriage forward and stopped at Zunyi Gate to the west of the palace.After verification, the carriage continued to move inward.

Not to mention Aunt He was surprised, even Li Xuebing was extremely surprised.How is this a palace, it is obviously like a palace.

It's not that Li Xuebing didn't pay attention to this nephew, but because of something that happened in the early years, he never had any contact.

Things have to start from the beginning. The Li family is not a big family at first, only after Li Xuebing was selected in the examination, did he find an official position.The official position is not high, but in a small county in the south, he held the post of county government office.

The chief secretary is the deputy of the county magistrate. He is changed every three years in Shangfeng, but Li Xuebing has been in this position for many years.Li Xuebing is an ambitious person, but his ambition is supported by money and ways, but he has no way of money and no way, so he has to waste many years in the position of this ninth rank.

Picked that year.

Whenever news of the selection comes, the local people will set off a wave of marriage climax.Being selected as a picking girl is not for entering the palace as a concubine to enjoy the blessings. Many of them are serving as servants of the palace and attending the palace, and once they are selected it is difficult to leave the palace.

Even ordinary people fled away watching the wind, but Li Xuebing did the opposite.He moved other thoughts, and that thought was her sister Li Wanting.

Using a younger sister to make a career prospect, Li Xuebing at the time saw nothing shameful.He never thought that if Li Wanting wasn't enough to stand out, he would probably not be selected as the imperial concubine, but the imperial person.

Fortunately, Li Wanting is indeed beautiful, and was chosen as the imperial concubine and won the title of talent.

After learning the news, Li Xuebing was overjoyed, eagerly waiting for his sister to give herself a good future.But one year has passed, two years have passed, and year after year has passed, nothing has happened.Li Xuebing was just a bookkeeper in a small county far away from the capital. How could he contact the people in the imperial palace? Since then, the two brothers and sisters broke contact.

After a few more years, suddenly it was heard that there was a fifth prince on the sage, and his biological mother was a talented person, whose surname was Li, who was later named a respected consort.This "rumour" was discovered by Li Xuebing from Shangfeng's mouth when he discovered that Shangfeng was so kind to him.At that time, Li Xuebing had put aside his thoughts that he shouldn't have, and was about to honestly work on the master album for a lifetime, when suddenly a pie was smashed on his head.

He had wanted to go to the capital, but wherever he wanted to be in office.He also imagined that one day his sister would deliver a letter to the family. After all, his sister is the concubine of the emperor. In Li Xuebing's mind, the maidens in the palace are omnipotent. What he did not expect was that his sister was not what he imagined. So beautiful.

Li Xuebing had never believed in it, and Li Xuebing had also complained, thinking that his younger sister became a mother and forgot his brother.But how could there be no benefit? After all, it was the prince's uncle, and everyone was more or less willing to give him a bit of thin face.

After being transferred to Shangfeng, Li Xuebing finally turned from deputy to positive.At that time Li Xuebing didn't complain anymore, he felt that what he had done was correct.Later, he deliberately inquired a lot of news from Beijing, and knew that his sister seemed to be in poor health, and the fifth prince was not in good health.He was very anxious, this was their Li family's hope in the future, but it was useless to be anxious.

Not long after, his sister passed away, leaving behind a fifth prince who was said to be dumb. It is said that the sage was furious. It is said that his sister was crazy and his nephew was a mute, so the sage would be furious.

Li Xuebing is scared, what should I do if he gets angry?The saint won’t take the five princes, but what to do if the Li family gave birth to a crazy daughter?Li Xuebing was completely calm, and at that time he wished everyone would forget the relationship between the five princes and his wife.

Even in the past many years, I haven't seen any movement, Li Xuebing put his heart down and honestly became his seven-rank magistrate. He served for many years without any promotion or decline.

If it weren't for the desperate situation this time, Li Xuebing wouldn't be able to remember this nephew, but he couldn't. He could only defect, and he couldn't have the whole family on the street.

***

After the carriage stopped, the Li family was led to a courtyard.

The family was sitting awkwardly in the main hall, and a husband in his fifties came.The father-in-law and Li Xuebing checked the situation, then turned and left.

Later, someone from the palace sent two tables of noodles for them to use first.

The Li family hasn't had a good meal for a long time. The noodle dishes are so rich that people can't help but move their fingers.The Li family were not polite, so they all sat down and used it.

There are a total of 17 people, Li Xuebing, Qi Shi, Aunt He, and the second Miss Li Miaolian and the third Miss Li Miaofang.Then there is the big room where Li Xuebing's eldest son Li Hongchang lives, with his wife Mao, concubine Aunt Chen and Aunt Xu, and three children.In the second room where Li Xuebing's second son, Li Hongqian, lived, his wife Qian and an aunt surnamed Hong, and then two children.

There were two big tables on the table.

After using the noodles, Fushun also got an order from King Jing.

After all, he was a serious uncle, and Fushun was polite.Said some things such as the busy business affairs of His Royal Highness, so that the uncle can stay at ease.After Li Xuebing exchanged a few words with him, Fushun retreated, and when he left, ordered the servants below to wait.

When he got to the ground, his nephew did not deny him, Li Xuebing finally relieved.

The yard they were in was quite large, divided into the main room, the east and the west side rooms, and the back cover room.A group of eight palace servants bowed their heads and waited, causing the Li family to breathe a sigh of relief.

After resting, the Qi family said to Li Xuebing, "Why doesn't my nephew come out to see us?"

Li Xuebing turned over and said, "It's all night, so you don't want to look at the time."

Qi's slumped mouth did not say anything.

Li Xuebing can pretend to forget, but Qi cannot.

Before my sister-in-law entered the palace, she was married.My sister-in-law has long been booked by her father-in-law. She is a close family. Although she is not an official, she is also a rich landlord.It's a pity that the husband was lost at that time, and he retired his sister-in-law and sent him to the palace.

Father-in-law was angry at the time, and he was ill for two years before leaving. Before leaving, he was still talking about his sister-in-law.

The Qi family was also born in a small family and had little knowledge. In her thoughts, a woman's marriage could not be changed. Therefore, the husband's decision and the tears of the sister-in-law were engraved in her memory for many years.Even if she will no longer be the Qi family she used to be in the future, she will become the magistrate, and many of her thoughts have changed, but she still can't forget the original.

So even though she was lying on the soft bedding, she was still uneasy, still wondering why her nephew didn't come out to meet them, did she know that my sister-in-law's experience hated them?

But after thinking about it for a while, she figured it out. After all, she was a relative. This was the last straw in the family, and she had to tighten it anyway.

***

King Jing sat there, his face was not visible, but he was a little restless in his heart.

Without him, Qi's aunt showed that the reality is too exaggerated.Since he came in, he grabbed his hand and cried, cried his mother, cried his grandfather, cried how hard it is to come from the south...

When mentioning his own sister, Li Xuebing also sighed and said a few words about his sister who was still at home.

"My aunt's life is hard, and every time my father mentions it, he is heartbroken." Li Xuebing's eldest son Li Hongchang sighed aside.

"Yes, if it wasn't for the situation, Wanting wouldn't enter the palace or die early."

Li Hongqian, the second child, interjected: "Father, what are you talking about? It's fate for the aunt to die early. There is no cousin of King King who came to the palace without aunt."

"It's the uncle demon that is startled, alas..."

King Jing was originally slow to respond, with restrained emotions, and he was quite embarrassed to deal with such a group of people with exposed emotions.He talks few words, and now sitting there seems even more withdrawn.

Li Hongchang blinked, wondering: "Isn't my cousin's dumb illness all right? Why didn't I speak?"

King Jing's expression became stiff, and Fushun bowed to the side and said, "His Royal Highness is reticent and doesn't talk very much, but he is close to the uncle's family."

Li Hongchang smirked and nodded.

This group of people continued to talk about things from the respectful wife back then, but unfortunately the days have passed too long, and Li Xuebing and Qi have some understanding of her, and the feelings are very sincere, but when they talk, they feel that they have no words. .

At this time, King Jing was also a little unable to sit still, so he got up and said, "The lone king still has official duties."

King Jing stood up and didn't take any steps. He paused for a while without knowing what to say, and he left.

Fushun smiled at Li's family, and they followed from behind.

After King Jing left, the Li family talked.

"Master, this nephew doesn't seem to see us very much."

The expressions of Li Hongchang and Li Hongqian almost expressed the same meaning. Just now, that would hinder King Jing's presence. It's hard to say that there are no taboos right now.

"After spending so much saliva for a long time, I didn't even call my uncle. How can we treat us as serious relatives!" Li Hongchang said.

After the new year, he was born with a fat brain and a big belly, not like a scholar, but like a wealthy man.After studying for many years, even a talented talent has not passed the exam.

"Brother, don't say a few words, after all, you are living in a man's house." Li Hongqian said more implicitly than Li Hongchang, but you can tell what he meant from that sour man's house.

The two sons of Li Xuebing were of the same kind. They were not young and did nothing, so they pointed to the father who had eaten them. Now that Li Xuebing is lost, he has come to the King's Mansion again.Anyway, the two of them knew that as long as the father was there, they didn't need to worry about it.

"I don't think my cousin looks like what you're talking about. Didn't you just say that father-in-law Fu also said that my cousin was originally quiet." Li Miaolian whispered from the side.

Li Hongchang sneered, glanced at his little sister, and said nothing.

At this time, a team of eunuchs walked in with a few trays.

One of the leaders smiled and said, "Please greet your uncle, this is a meeting ceremony for your family."

The tray is covered with chiffon, and it is not obvious what is inside.Li Xuebing stood up and said, "His Royal Highness is so polite."

"Isn't it? My Royal Highness said that since he is here, he will stay in the mansion and talk to the servants of the palace if he has any needs."

"Thank you so much, Your Highness."

On the way Li Xuebing was talking with the eunuch, he made a color to Aunt He who was on the side. Aunt He was also a good person, and quickly asked for a small piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Trouble you father-in-law for a trip. I don't have much money, so I can give everyone a cup of tea."

The leading eunuch didn't refuse, and he saluted again before leading someone to withdraw.
