Chapter 194: Fake Jin wants to reconcile with the General’s Mansion?
Madam Deng smiled and said, "She has no money and has lost her status as the legitimate daughter of a general. How can she expect to live well in the inner chambers of a royal palace?"
"Except for Cao Rou'er who always targeted her, the rest of the concubines and side concubines all had conflicts with her."
"Luying said that the princess punished her by making her kneel in the yard for two hours yesterday. When she got up, her legs were swollen."
Li Qingluo: "Prince Yun didn't protect her?"
Matron Deng: "She said she pretended not to see it, but Liu Qingzhu actually cried bitterly after returning home. Prince Yun had originally turned towards her courtyard, but when he heard the crying, he hurried away again."
"Also, Luying said that the Liu family members went to Prince Yun's mansion several times to look for Liu Qingzhu, but Liu Qingzhu ignored them all and just had the palace guards drive them away with a fierce look and threaten them. Only then did the Liu family members temporarily become more obedient."
Li Qingluo: "She thought she had done her utmost by asking Prince Yun to rescue the Liu family from prison. However, the Liu family are all leeches, and she is their own daughter. In the eyes of the Liu family, marrying into the palace of a dignified prince is like falling into a golden nest. How could they let her go so easily?"
"It's just that they can't suck blood from her for the time being, so they might turn their attention to me again."
Aunt Deng opened her mouth in astonishment, then filled with anger: "How can they be so shameless? What should you do, young lady?"
Li Qingluo picked up a chess piece at hand and accurately flicked it towards the crow that had landed outside the window. "Sui'er, it's time to go home."
After thinking deeply, Nanny Deng nodded slightly.
Que'er came in holding the crow and said, "Girl, someone actually sent you a flying letter."
Li Qingluo:???
She just thought the crow was an eyesore, but it turned out to be Fei Xin?
Que'er took the letter tied to Crow's leg and handed it to Li Qingluo: "Girl, please take a look."
Li Qingluo unfolded it and took a look: If you want to find your brother, why don’t you come and ask me for help?
Li Qingluo held the letter tightly in his hand.
She guessed instantly who sent the letter.
Who else could it be?
He would play tricks in their general's mansion, disguise himself as a girl and go to the girl's yard in the general's mansion to impersonate her. He was the incense master of the Lotus Sect and the leader of the four Dharma protectors. He also knew that she had a brother in this world, Zheng Lingzhou!
Did he know that he was asking his grandmother to find the surviving child of Aunt Zheng?
Aunt Deng: "Miss? Are you okay?"
Li Qingluo looked at the crow, thought for a moment, and said, "Lock it up."
She won't go to see Zheng Lingzhou.
As for her 'brother', if she can find him, then she will look for him. If she can't find him, then if he never comes back in this life, then that's fine.
Li Qingluo burned the letter before turning the conversation back to Liu Qingzhu: "Luying sent this message back, what exactly is it about?"
Matron Deng: "She said Liu Qingzhu wanted to see the eldest son, or the mistress. She also asked Luying to find a way to contact old acquaintances in the mansion."
Li Qingluo immediately guessed what Li Qingzhu wanted to do.
"She was hurriedly carried into Prince Yun's mansion, and she didn't take any of the money she had saved in the General's Mansion with her. So, does she want to come back for her dowry?"
Aunt Deng: "Miss, you guessed right! She thinks it's all because she has no money, so she is trying every possible way to come back and secretly meet someone she thinks still cares about her!"
Li Qingluo: "Ever since Liu Qingzhu was expelled from the General's Mansion, Li Kechuan has never left Lancang Courtyard. Whether he wants to reflect on himself or live in peace, I don't care."
"However, if he wants to let go of the feud between him and me, there is no way."
Aunt Deng: "Young lady, what do you mean...?"
Li Qingluo: "If she wants to see him, let her see him. Please make arrangements and don't let anyone else see him for the time being."
Nanny Deng was a little confused about what the girl was thinking.
"Girl, do you really want her to take the money away again?"
Li Qingluo: "She wants to see someone, and she wants to take away the Li family's money, but these are two different things."
Nanny Deng then smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."
Li Qingluo's eyes fell on the post, and she suddenly paused: "Wait!"
Li Qingluo picked up the invitation and flipped through it. "On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Imperial Palace will hold a banquet. All officials of the third rank and above and their families are invited to attend the banquet and celebrate the New Year together. Has Liu Qingzhu ever been included in the banquet in previous years?"
Nanny Deng shook her head. "It seems that in previous years, only the noble families of marquises, princes, and the like were qualified to receive this invitation."
Li Qingluo was a little surprised when he heard this because he had never experienced this before.
"So, this is the first time the General's Mansion has received this post?"
Matron Deng: "Yes. But don't be afraid, young lady. When the old lady was a young lady, and later when she became the only female general in the world, she had been to the palace several times. With the old lady around, you won't make any mistakes even if you go to the palace."
This was not what Li Qingluo was worried about.
She was just curious about how Liu Qingzhu would react if she knew about this.
She was a concubine, even a concubine of a prince, but according to etiquette, she was not qualified to enter the palace on that day, right?
But Li Qingluo always had a feeling at this moment, maybe this time, Liu Qingzhu would not miss the night banquet.
"Let Luying take it easy first, and let Liu Qingzhu hold back for a while."
“When people are pushed into a desperate situation, they will always do something surprising.”
Li Qingluo was already looking forward to what Liu Qingzhu would do next.
"Once the bright moon falls to earth, it is no more than dirt. But after all, dirt can be used to fertilize the land and still be of some use."
"It all depends on what attitude those nobles in the palace will have towards our General's Mansion."
When Liu Qingzhu heard the news, she was naturally furious.
But all the jade and stoneware in her room were gifts from Prince Yun, and she was short of money, so she didn't dare to lose her temper and throw things around like she used to.
So he pinched the green firefly closest to him hard to vent his anger.
"Li Qingluo, that bitch! Did she have a grudge against me in her past life, so she's here to jinx me in this life?"
"It's because of her that I've ended up like this! Am I not pitiful enough? God is treating me so unfairly!"
"I've been in the General's Mansion for sixteen years, sixteen years! I've never received any invitation to go to the Imperial Palace, and yet she received such an honor upon returning, and even got to pay homage to the Empress!"
"How noble is the Empress? Even I, her son's concubine, have never seen her, yet she, Li Qingluo, can!"
“Why, why!?”
"It's all her fault. She took away everything from me—"
"This bitch, bitch, it's all her fault, I hate her so much!!"
The green firefly pinched by Liu Qingzhu fell to the ground, sobbing in unbearable pain.
It was not until she heard "Greetings, Your Highness" from outside that she quickly grabbed Luying again.
"Good girl, I didn't mean it. Please wipe your tears quickly."
Luying lowered her head, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes: "Yes, girl, Luying doesn't blame you..."
Liu Qingzhu believed that Luying was the most loyal to her. After all, she was the only "thing" she took away from the general's mansion. She brought her to the prince's mansion to enjoy a good life. She had already become the eldest maid in the prince's mansion. What else did she want?
Of course, Liu Qingzhu believes that today's life is not the greatest honor for Luying.
When she has greater luck in the future, she, Luying, can still be a member of the palace. Then Luying will be even more grateful to her master.
Now there is no one else in the palace that he can trust, so it is reasonable for Luying to suffer some grievances.
When Prince Yun stepped in, Luying had already tidied herself up and was serving the two of them with a normal look on her face.
Liu Qingzhu lay obediently in Prince Yun's arms, with a pitiful look of being aggrieved yet afraid.
"Your Majesty, you haven't come to see me for several days... How come you still remembered to come today? I thought you were tired of me."
Liu Qingzhu didn't even dare to bring up the matter of the night banquet in the five palaces.
She was afraid that this action would cause Prince Yun to be annoyed again and think that she was ignorant.
In fact, she has become much more restrained now.
Knowing that she was no longer the eldest daughter of the general's family and had no one to rely on in this world, she became hesitant in doing things.
Prince Yun pinched Liu Qingzhu's chin and said, "I'm here today because of good things for you. Zhu'er, you are the first concubine in my palace who can enter the palace to pay homage to my mother. Do you know what an honor this is? How did you get it?"
"This is what I begged for you. How do you want to thank me?"
Liu Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, then her face was filled with ecstasy, she could no longer suppress it: "Your Highness!! Is this true? When will it be? Can I really go with you to meet the Empress?"
Prince Yun: "On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the palace will hold a night banquet to celebrate the new year as usual. This time, in addition to the nobles and the royal family, your general's mansion is also invited."
"Then I will give you an important task. This time, you must behave well in front of the Queen Mother. Do you understand? I will reward you handsomely when you return!"
Hearing the words "General's Mansion," Liu Qingzhu's expression suddenly darkened again. "General's Mansion? Zhu'er does miss her parents and brother, but they no longer recognize Zhu'er as their fake daughter..."
"Zhu'er is now a disgrace to the General's Mansion. Even the sixteen years of family love are no longer worth mentioning in their eyes."
As she spoke, tears began to flow down her face.
Prince Yun sighed, "I know it's because of me that you've caused a rift with them. I'll take care of this matter myself."
Liu Qingzhu's heart was pounding.
What exactly do you mean by this, Your Highness?
Could he really make the General's Mansion and himself reconcile and make peace?
If this is really possible, wouldn't it be justifiable for her to get back her share of the dowry?
Liu Qingzhu couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
This situation is really a chance to survive from a desperate situation. There is no way out for her!
