Niu Xianke said sincerely: "Many people say that King Zhong has the best chance to win the Eastern Palace, but in my opinion, it is not King Zhong who really threatens His Highness's future, but Li Xiu. Once he takes office, not only will His Highness's fate be worrying, but I will be in danger. On this point, our interests are the same. Your Highness, we need to join forces!"

This is Niu Xianke's cunning point. He actually has no interaction with Li Xiu, but in order to win over Li Mao, he needs to create a common enemy. While dealing with Li Mao, they will naturally become allies.

Whether it was him tied to Li Mao's chariot or Li Mao tied to his chariot, it was all what Niu Xianke was looking forward to.

Niu Xianke's words reached Li Mao's heart.

Li Mao nodded, "I have an irreconcilable grudge with him, but I don't know how to deal with him. It's better that he will do the mission again. We plotted against him on the way."

Niu Xianke sighed slightly and said, "This kind of conspiracy is what he is best at, so it is best not to use it. Otherwise, if you can't hurt him, he will definitely kill His Highness with his backhand. The risk is too great, so I have never agreed to use this method. In fact, I thought of one thing that can be used to destroy his image."

"What's up?"

Niu Xianke stood up and walked to the window. Outside was Pingkangfang with lights and wine, singing and dancing.

He pointed to a very imposing restaurant in the distance and said, "Do your Highness know that restaurant?"

"Of course I know that the famous Beijing-Baijiu Liquor House in Chang'an can rank among the top ten in Chang'an, and Beijing-Baijiu Liquor is very good."

"Do you know that it is actually Li Xiu's property!"

"What?"

Li Mao was shocked, "Is Beijing Baijiu's property of Li Xiu?"

"You don't know!"

Li Mao shook his head, he didn't know anything.

"The key is how much does he spend to buy this restaurant?"

"How many?"

"How much does Your Highness think it is worth?"

"It won't be worth 100,000 yuan. The key is that this kind of chicken that lays golden eggs can't be bought even if it has money."

Niu Xianke sneered, "Along with the Beijing-Bai Liquor in Luoyang, he paid a total of 34,000 taels of silver for the two restaurants."

Li Mao was shocked. Luoyang's Jingbai Liquor House ranked fifth in Luoyang. In addition, Chang'an Pingkangfang Jingbai Liquor House may not be able to buy 200,000 yuan, but Li Xiu actually bought it for 34,000 taels of silver.

"How did he do it?"

"What else can you do besides threats and coercion? The former boss Wang Jingbai and his wife were killed in Xingyang, and their only son was also dead. However, their most valuable property fell into Li Xiu's hands at an extremely low price. I think anyone can figure out the key."

"But there is no evidence, and it seems that such a thing will not hurt him?"

When Li Mao thought that his several stores seemed to have been created by the same method, he was a little lacking in confidence.

"Your Highness is wrong. This is a very important virtue. Once virtue is lost, the political future will be over. Now it is a good opportunity."

Speaking of this, Niu Xianke lowered his voice, "Wang Jingbai's nephew Wang Kun is preparing to sue Li Xiu for occupying his uncle's property. He will formally submit a complaint to Wannian County tomorrow. I will let Wannian County accept the case, but your highness will pass this matter to the emperor's ears and let the emperor pay attention to it. If the evidence is conclusive, at least the Political Affairs Hall will not approve Li Xiu's restoration of the king's title."

Li Mao was quite moved. If Li Xiu could not recover the title of Prince and himself, could he use the position of Princess to disrupt the Yang family's resistance?

............

As soon as it was dawn, Yang Yuhuan sat in front of the bronze mirror and dressed up. Today she was going to come to the palace with her lover to meet the queen, who was also her future mother-in-law.

Although I have seen it before and are very familiar with it, following my lover to go to the palace to meet my mother, the meaning is completely different. This is a formal ceremony.

More importantly, today is a special day. Today is Yang Yuhuan who is fifteen years old and should perform the ceremony of wearing a hairpin.

According to the Zhou Li, a woman was married for fifteen years. After today, she entered the age of marriage.

The family hoped to use her marriage to celebrate the wedding, and of course Yang Yuhuan also understood that the family was actually afraid that the marriage would be ruined and wanted to make mature rice as soon as possible.

Actually, she also wants to do it! Isn’t this every woman’s biggest dream to marry the man she likes?

At this time, Li Xiu suddenly appeared behind her, scaring Yang Yuhuan.

The weather was hot, so she only wore a bellyband, a thin gauze on the outside, and her body inside was clearly visible.

She blushed and hurriedly pushed Li Xiu, "Go out quickly, I haven't put on my clothes yet!"

Li Xiu looked up and down with his eyes, and he was reluctant to leave.

He smiled and said, "I'll help you put on a little makeup a little, and then leave."

"How do you want to put on makeup? Just tell me, but you can't be here now, you can only get married after you get married."

Li Xiu knew that Yang Yuhuan was thin-skinned and could not annoy her.

"Okay! You put your skin a little darker, your eyebrows thicker, and your dresses are more conservative."

"Why?" Yang Yuhuan said a little surprised.

"Listen to me, the palace is very complicated and there are many right and wrong. My mother has enemies in the palace, so don't let them notice you."

"Why does Xiulang mean Wu Huifei?"

Li Xiu nodded, "In fact, it's not just Concubine Wu Hui, but also other concubines. They are jealous of my mother and will look for all opportunities. You have to understand what you mean!"

Although Yang Yuhuan still didn't understand the key, she didn't want her lover to make things difficult for her, so she nodded obediently, "I understand, I will listen to you, don't just complain about me."

Li Xiu leaned over and kissed her face, and whispered in her ear: "I wish I could marry you tonight, so why would I hate you!"

Yang Yuhuan's pretty face turned red and she quickly pushed him out. She pushed Li Xiu out of the door, closed the door, leaned weakly against the door, and gently patted her chest. Her heart was really beating violently.

.........

Of course, Li Xiu didn't want history to repeat itself. Although he would not be as weak as Li Mao, he was afraid of anything, so it would be best to eliminate the unstable factors on the signs.

If you have a fairy wife at home, just appreciate it yourself, and there is no need to let others judge.

Soon, Yang Yuhuan changed her dress and was indeed very conservative. She wore a light green high-neck skirt, which only exposed her neck, a half-sleeved spring shirt and red silk, and the long skirt was on the ankles. There was a thick skirt lining inside, which was completely opaque.

This is usually a dress worn for long trips. When you wear it, you will look a little rustic when you enter the palace, but it is understandable.

He put on light makeup on his face, drew his eyebrows a little thicker according to Li Xiu's request, and drew a few strokes on his eyes, and the extraordinary aura disappeared.

More importantly, the skin is slightly dark, which is like the complexion after a summer trip, which is very healthy, but the previous spirit is gone.

Although her appearance is still very good, in the palace, such a look can only be considered medium and ordinary, and cannot give people a bright feeling.

Li Xiu was very satisfied, and this was the effect he wanted.

"Let's go!"

In Gongsun Xiaomei's confused gaze, Li Xiu helped Yang Yuhuan into the carriage. He rode his horse, and Pei Min and Zi Linfeng rode their horses one after another to protect Li Xiu.

The carriage set out and drove towards the Daming Palace.

.........

"Yuhuan, you are not wearing makeup like this, it looks too dark. I'll apply it to your face."

In the carriage, Xiaomei was not satisfied with Yang Yuhuan's makeup and wanted to apply some makeup to her again.

"Don't move your eyebrows, that's it!"

"Is this your intentional makeup?"

Yang Yuhuan nodded, "It was Xiulang who asked me to put on makeup like this. She said that the palace was very complicated, and it was not a good thing to put on makeup too beautifully, so let me keep a low profile."

After all, Xiaomei grew up in the palace, and she knew all kinds of struggles in the palace.

She nodded, "It makes sense. Everyone in the palace is wearing makeup to attract the emperor's attention. You are different. If the emperor notices it, you still don't know what will happen."

Only then did Yang Yuhuan understand what Xiulang meant, and her pretty face changed color because of her fright.

"You mean, the emperor will..."

Gongsun Xiaomei sneered, "Have you never heard of Wu Zetian? She is Taizong's concubine, but in the end she becomes Gaozong's queen. The palace is dirty!"

Yang Yuhuan sighed softly, "I'm afraid that the empress will be unhappy if she put on makeup like this."
