Li Xiu's mother is now called Wu Jieyu.

She is already thirty-six or seven years old, and she can't beat the young palace concubine by virtue of her beauty.

But she had a son, and the mother was noble by her son. In just over a month, she became a concubine from Baolin to Jieyu. The concubines who had sarcasticted to her not long ago shut up.

After skipping level three in a month, who knows whether she will be promoted to Xianyi or even to Xianfei?

Many palace concubines ridiculed her to please Concubine Wu Hui, but now, no one dares to offend people easily.

Concubine Wu lives in a small garden covering an area of ​​about three acres, which is of course completely different from the courtyard of the cold palace.

Concubine Wu was very busy these days. She and more than a dozen palace maids were busy replanting medicinal materials brought back from the cold palace.

In fact, the Imperial Medical Department can provide all herbs, but planting herbs has become her greatest joy in life.

"Then a few mint plants go over a little longer, there is not enough light here!"

"Miss mother, I'll help you plant it too!"

When Wu Jieyu turned around, she saw Xiaomei standing behind her. She was surprised, "Why is Xiaomei coming? Where is Xiu'er?"

"Mom, I'm here!"

Only then did Concubine Wu see her tall son. Her nose felt sore and tears almost rolled out.

"Xiuer, when did you come back?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "I came to the capital yesterday afternoon and came to see my mother early in the morning."

"We went to the lobby to sit, it was full of dirt."

Concubine Wu asked everyone to rest for a while, and she took her son to the lobby to sit down.

Several eunuchs came in with a box and took it off. It turned out to be a gorgeous red coral, three feet tall, with a graceful posture, colorful colors, and very perfect development.

"Mom, this is what the child brought back from Yangzhou. Put it in the study as a decoration!"

After all, Wu Jieyu is Wu Sansi's youngest daughter. She is from a noble family and has lived in the palace for a long time. She has great eyesight for this kind of treasure, but she doesn't know how much this coral is worth?

"Not bad! It's a good thing. Such a big red coral may not even have a few trees in the palace."

"This coral is three feet long and is worth tens of thousands of yuan in Yangzhou, and it may not be possible to buy it."

Wu Jieyu was startled, "I don't want such a valuable thing. Xiu'er, you should offer it to your father!"

"Mom, I have given both the father and the regent. Each of them has a red coral that is larger than this, at least five feet tall, and is priceless. This one is a little smaller, I will leave it for you."

I heard that the emperor and the regent gave it to me, and Concubine Wu was relieved.

Logically, this plant should be given to the queen, but there is no queen in the palace. The highest is Concubine Wu Hui. She doesn't want to give it to Concubine Wu Hui.

Wu Jieyu was happy, "This coral is a good medicine! It can clear your eyes and remove obstacles, astring sores and stop bleeding. If anyone is injured, you can use it to first aid!"

Li Xiu was speechless. The coral worth tens of thousands of yuan was actually used as medicine. He seemed to see the scene of his mother holding a saw.

"Mom, if you want corals to be used as medicine, I will get them for you, or grind them into powder. This coral is of perfect quality, don't saw it!"

Wu Jieyu laughed and said, "Mom is just a joke. How can you bear to take such a good coral into medicine?"

Wu Jieyu pondered for a while and said, "This coral mother has accepted it, but today Gao Lishi said, "You transferred the reward of 20,000 pieces of silk to Wei's mother. Why do I want so much money? Take it back quickly. You have subordinates and you have wealth to them!"

"I have all my subordinates rewarded me. With these 20,000 pieces of silk, I can reward some palace maids and eunuchs to take care of my relationships. The Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Kitchen are all very important. If there is any difficulty in the palace concubine, I can help you, otherwise my mother will not have a good life in the palace."

Li Xiu was just pointing out that his conflict with Li Mao led to the removal of Prince Li Mao's title and demoted to county duke. How could Concubine Wu Hui give up? She couldn't deal with herself, but she would deal with her mother.

But the palace is also very realistic. Money is the most important thing. No matter how powerful the Concubine Wu Hui is, it cannot crush the deck of money.

Wu Jieyu thought about it and said that her son was still young, and it was not a good thing to have so much money, even if he kept it for him!

"Xiuer, what's going on with you and King Shou?"

Wu Jieyu took a sip of tea and finally brought the topic to something she was concerned about.

She also heard that King Shou and Thirty-Balang had lost their title of title.

This made her feel uneasy.

"Mom, this is not what the rumors are outside. Because the father wants to depose the prince, King Shou wants to enter the Eastern Palace, but the Regent recommends me as the candidate for the prince. King Shou tries every means to harm me. He kills the Luoyang courtesan and wants to blame me, but I expose it. He is dismissed by the prince, and the hatred is overwhelmed."

Speaking of the fact that it is more reliable to fight for the prince, Wu Jieyu nodded, "It is rumored in the palace that King Shou competes with you for a woman. Is it the courtesan of Luoyang?"

Li Xiu shook his head, "It's the sister of the child's friend. King Shou likes her, but the family doesn't want to do so, so he comes to the door to grab someone and kills other people's grandfather. Of course I have to take care of me. I sent my friend's family back to my hometown in Chengdu. There is a rumor in the palace that the so-called fight for women may refer to my friend's sister!"

Wu Jieyu nodded, "Okay! Be careful. I heard that Wu Huifei blew the wind beside the emperor. The emperor finally changed his mind and refused to depose the prince for the time being. Fighting for the Eastern Palace is a big deal. Don't have any inappropriate thoughts."

The mother and son chatted for a while, and Li Xiu stood up and said goodbye.

Concubine Wu kept Gongsun Xiaomei and said she was helping her plant flowers.

When Li Xiu left, Concubine Wu summoned Gongsun Xiaomei into the inner room and asked her: "Xiaomei, I have been raising you since you were four years old. I have always treated you as my daughter for so many years and treat you very well!"

Xiaomei was confused when she heard this and quickly saluted, "I also regard the Empress as my mother in my heart."

"Then you have to tell me the truth, what is the relationship between the little lady that King Shou wants to rob and Xiu'er?"

Xiaomei bit her lip and whispered: "The young master likes her very much, so he will turn against the King of Shou for this. Empress, she is the daughter of an innocent family. She is only fourteen years old this year, and her sister is also my friend."

"What's the matter with her? Let King Shou and Xiu'er be possessed by her."

"She looks good."

"Just look good?"

"Empress, she looks extraordinary and beautiful. I also grew up in the palace. No concubine in the palace can compare to her, and even Dou Zhaoyi is not half as good as her."

Dou Zhaoyi is recognized as the number one beauty in the palace and is known for her beautiful eyes. Unfortunately, she died of illness shortly after she was found.

"Oh?" Wu Jieyu heard that even Dou Zhaoyi was not as interested, so she was a little interested.

Before, Wu Jieyu had always hoped that her son could marry a daughter from a famous family, which would be helpful for getting rid of the predicament in front of him.

But now, as her son becomes more and more promising, her mentality of marrying a daughter from a famous family is not as strong as before.

If her son can marry a talented woman who is so beautiful that she will not object, but the premise must be a innocent daughter, she will never agree to the woman who is a fair-hearted woman.

"Xiaomei, sit down and tell me in detail about this little lady, what is her name, and what is the background of her family?"

………………

It was also a coincidence that when Li Xiu left the palace, he happened to meet Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui sat on the soft carriage and was surrounded by a large group of palace maids and walked towards her.

There was only one road, and Li Xiu could not avoid it, so he had to go forward and bow, "Son of you, see Empress Hui!"

Concubine Wu Hui also thanked Li Xiu for Princess Xianyi before, but since Li Xiu and Li Mao had a conflict, Li Mao was almost demoted to all titles, and this hatred was formed.

Concubine Wu Hui looked at him coldly, ignored him, waved her hand lightly, and the team continued to walk towards her bedroom.

This kind of ignorance is actually the best, otherwise Li Xiu shook his head and walked quickly.

The eunuch Wang Enze turned around and looked at Li Xiu's back and walked away. He whispered to Concubine Wu Hui: "I heard that the 38 Lang has been promoted to two levels in a row, from a viscount to a marquis, and the emperor also rewarded him with 100,000 ounces of money."

Concubine Wu Hui raised her eyebrows, "Is there such a thing?"

"It's true!"

Concubine Wu Hui's mentality was unbalanced. Her son was demoted to four levels, from the prince to the county duke. If she hadn't knelt on her sickbed and begged, she would probably not have been able to keep the county duke.

This hatred formed ice in her heart and condensed into stone. She had already secretly swore that she would never give up until she beat Wu Jieyu and his son to hell.
