Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

Compared to the somewhat immature Jiang Ni, Li Sili showed extremely warm hospitality. Her charming and enchanting demeanor showed that she was full of charm even at a young age.

However, because she was still young and had not yet lost her virginity, she did not display her charm to the fullest.

Therefore, Zhao Linger couldn't help but feel a sense of alienation towards Li Sili!

This kind of alienation was not the charm of a young girl, but the ambition revealed by Li Sili, who wanted to suppress her with the attitude of a hostess.

Moreover, Li Sili also knew that Zhao Linger could not become the official princess consort, so he did not take Zhao Linger seriously.

"Sister, rest assured. If you feel bored, you can come to the front garden to find Ling'er."

Zhao Linger placed the incense on the round table and then left the villa.

The girl stared at Zhao Linger's departing back, and a trace of solemnity flashed across her delicate and bright face.

She wanted to become the queen and be the master of her own house instead of living under someone else's roof.

This is also the reason why she wants to become the queen.

Faced with Zhao Linger's "provocation", the girl naturally showed the aura of the mistress of the house.

And she didn't think she lost to Zhao Linger.

Holiness is far inferior to charm.

At least she had the confidence to become the mistress of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

After years of wandering and living under the care of others, she wanted a home of her own.

The Prince Yan's Mansion in front of us is quite nice.

The reason why she was abandoned was not because the Prince of Yan's Mansion was too poor or the Prince of Yan was too poor, but because of interests.

If the marriage cannot bring benefits, it is naturally impossible to sacrifice the bargaining chips that can bring benefits to the family. The Princess of Beiliang and the Princess of Beiqi are the effective bargaining chips in the hands of the two countries, while they are invalid bargaining chips.

Because the bond that connects interests is blood!

"Princess, this Miss Ling'er has a very special status!"

Seeing how strong Li Sili was, the maidservant beside him could not help but remind him:

"The front garden where Miss Ling'er rests is exactly where the prince rests at night.

Miss Mei Jian, who served Miss Ling'er, was also the prince's personal maid in the palace, and her status was far higher than ours. Because there were four twins, the one wearing red was Miss Mei Jian, the one wearing plain was Miss Lan Jian, the one wearing green was Miss Zhu Jian, and the one wearing yellow was Miss Ju Jian.

I heard that Miss Mei Jian has a high talent for martial arts. She seems to be an eighth-rank martial artist. She has few rivals among the palace guards. She can be compared with Cao Zongguan and Yuwen Tongling and his wife!"

The maid told everything she knew.

After all, to survive in the palace, besides Li Shouxi's favor, vision is also very important.

There are several people who should not be provoked, and among them is Cao Shaoqing, who is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, and the four daughters of Mei Jian who serve the prince's daily life.

Moreover, these people are true martial arts geniuses!

Even when Li Sili heard the maid's explanation, she was still shocked. A trace of horror flashed across her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Are they really at the eighth level of martial arts? They don't look very old?"

"Miss Mei Jian is indeed not very old. I heard that she is only one year younger than the prince. She entered the palace at the age of sixteen, so this year is only the 10th birthday.

As for the eighth level of martial arts?

I also heard it from others, but it should not be wrong. The soldiers in the palace were extremely respectful to Miss Mei Jian and did not dare to neglect her in the slightest."

hiss hiss hiss...

Li Sili suddenly felt that he had won five million this time!

No one expected that the potential of Prince Yan's Mansion was so terrifying. Even the quadruplet maids who served Li Shouxi's daily life had martial arts aptitude comparable to that of a saint in Northern Qi.

As a martial artist, she knew very well what it meant to be an eighth-grade martial artist at the age of twenty.

If there are no accidents or forced growth, entering the ninth rank is almost a certainty.

The future ninth-rank maids, and quadruplets at that, are definitely not as simple as four ninth-rank masters. This even shocked Li Sili.

"Then is there anything else in the palace that needs attention?"

“That’s not the case.

Although the palace has strict rules, the prince is kind to others. As long as we finish our work, we can basically move freely in the back garden without any restrictions.

Some important areas in the royal palace are guarded by guards, so we usually cannot get close to them, and there is nothing we need to pay attention to.

As for the main courtyard?

This is where the palace's internal historian works. We are not allowed to enter without the permission of Chief Steward Cao.

This is to prevent the inner courtyard from having too much contact with people outside. "

Upon hearing this, Li Sili immediately understood the structure of the palace.

Strict hierarchy and clear division of labor!

Moreover, Cao Shaoqing is in charge of the main courtyard, and the four daughters of Mei Jian are in charge of the inner courtyard.

As for why it was Cao Shaoqing who came to greet them today, it was naturally because of Cao Shaoqing's status and position. He was the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace, and they were noble ladies who were married off, so he was directly responsible for them.

On the contrary, although Mei Jian was in charge of the inner garden, he was only responsible for the daily life of the King of Yan, and his power was independent of Cao Shaoqing.

But even so, she was the maid in the inner garden second only to Cao Shaoqing.

And it's not just an ordinary manager.

An eighth-grade martial artist is not a weakling anywhere, let alone a twenty-year-old martial arts prodigy.

"Then how can we meet the prince?"

Li Sili asked the most crucial question. As a noble lady of marriage alliance, if she couldn't even do what Prince Yan did, how could she be promoted to the principal wife?

And she was also full of curiosity about the King of Yan.

He is young and has extraordinary talent. Although it is rumored that he is over ten feet tall, with strong limbs, a face like a demon, and a ferocious and terrifying look.

But he knew that this was just a rumor.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, with a body worth a million gold, how could it be that the rumors say...

"I don't know about this. Usually only Manager Cao and Miss Mei Jian have the opportunity to see the prince. We are just ordinary maids. We have not seen the prince many times since we entered the mansion.

But the princess can rest assured, the prince is definitely not as the rumors say, with a strong and fat body, a green face and fangs.

Your Majesty is the most beautiful man that I, your servant, have ever seen!"

"The most beautiful man? Haha..."

Li Sili burst out laughing when she heard this, and her face was immediately full of peach blossoms, charming and moving.

The maid also knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly shut up. She knew that people in the palace were tolerant and would not blame her for her slip of the tongue.

Unless you seek death by insulting the prince in public, even the gods cannot save you.

When Li Sili saw this, he knew that his guess was correct.

Maybe this isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

The sun sets and the moon is in the sky.

Li Shouxi did not go directly to Jiang Ni or Li Sili's inner courtyard, but sent someone to express his concern.

In addition to the various specialties of Fengtian City, there are red cards with auspicious times written on them.

Although the two women were not married in a sedan chair carried by eight people, the necessary etiquette had to be prepared, and an auspicious day had to be chosen for the wedding night.

Chapter 93: Comforting Zhao Linger

"Does my husband really want to marry Jiang Ni and her sisters?"

Nestled in that open and warm arms, Zhao Linger felt extremely aggrieved.

Even though I already knew this would be the result, it was still hard to accept when it came.

Even as Mother Earth, it is difficult to embrace such love!

“The emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed!

The envoys of the two countries are in Fengtian City. If we do not welcome them in, it will be a contempt for Northern Liang and Northern Qi. When the three countries become enemies, it will give the aristocratic families an excuse to target me.

Ling'er, do you know why Beiliang and Beiqi only sent two unimportant adopted daughters to marry?"

"Sister Mei Jian said that the Yuan Qi of the grassland barbarians was seriously damaged, and the alliance is only in name?"

Hearing Zhao Linger's words, Li Shouxi chuckled at first, then said in a low voice:

“This is just one of the reasons. Even if there is no Northern Frontier Alliance, with my strength, Northern Liang and Northern Qi will not be so unwise.

The real reason is the game between this king and the family.

The land tax law in Liaodong has touched the foundation of the imperial families' foothold in Kyushu. It can be said that the king and the families have been in conflict since the first issue of the court report. Even the statements of Northern Liang and Northern Qi are also their attitudes.

There is not a single force in the Nine Provinces that thinks highly of this king!"

"Land tax? Isn't that normal?"

Zhao Linger had read the Fengtian Gazette when she was bored, so she was naturally familiar with the detailed explanation of the land tax law in the first issue. In her eyes, it was a normal thing, and she did not see any conflict in it.

But at this moment, Li Shouxi's explanation seemed to have caused a terrible disaster from which he could not escape.

“This is Ling’er’s innocence.

Jiuzhou is a world where people eat each other. In Ling'er's eyes, Baiyue is an unforgivable demon, but in the eyes of this king and many heroes, it is the most normal thing.

Even if you don't worship the moon, there will be another demon moon or devil moon. It's just a cycle of a century."

When Zhao Linger heard this, she didn't expect Li Shouxi to look at Baiyue in this way, without any belittlement.

Then I heard Li Shouxi say:

“The power of the Moon Worshiper is greater than that of the King of Nanzhao, so he can wreak havoc on the country.

By the same token, when the power of the aristocratic families unites to surpass the empire, then the aristocratic families can control the empire. This is the cycle of history, so this king is not at all surprised by the behavior of worshiping the moon.

How do the aristocratic families control the empire?

One of them is to annex land. The aristocratic families used their power in the local area to impose various harsh taxes on the people, forcing them to sell their land and become slaves, thereby removing them from the yellow book and making them slaves exploited by the aristocratic families for generations.

As for the land tax in Liaodong, this king integrates all taxes into the land, without any exorbitant levies or miscellaneous taxes, and no longer relies on the yellow book of the Ministry of Households to collect taxes.

This shook the foundation of the aristocratic families' land annexation.

The second phase of private school subsidies broke the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge... The third phase of naval recruitment strengthened Liaodong's military strength...

I am now the thorn in the eyes of these noble families, and they want to pull me down from the altar all the time."

"Ah? Why?

Since your husband's land tax law is so superior, why doesn't Your Majesty promote it?"

Zhao Linger never expected that the tax law of the Tang Empire actually hid such a horrifying dark side.

Since the land tax law was so superior, why didn't the Tang Emperor promote it?

"It's not that Father doesn't want to, but that he can't!

To be exact, the Emperor did not oppose the power of the aristocratic families. Even though the empire had immortals on land, the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Families far exceeded Ling'er's imagination.

This is also the reason why everyone is not optimistic about this king, he is an existence that even the dynasty cannot shake. "

At this moment, the shock in Zhao Linger's heart had already caused a huge wave.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly prosperous Tang Dynasty was not as beautiful as she had imagined.

No, Liaodong is the perfect world in her heart!

And all this beauty was created by the husband in front of her.

Li Shouxi knew that Zhao Linger's perception was terrible, so he did not talk about his lustful thoughts, but instead excused himself by saying that the emperor's order was difficult to disobey.

Anyway, he didn't lie!

"Isn't my husband in danger right now?"

“It is dangerous if you say it is dangerous, and it is not dangerous if you say it is not dangerous!

No matter what, I am still a prince of the Tang Dynasty and a prince of the Seventh Prince of the Imperial Court. As long as I have not committed any serious mistake, they have no reason to attack me.
