As the highest authority in the country—the imperial palace has always been a place that attracts attention, and as the leader of the country, the person who actually holds the highest power—the emperor has always been watched by people, either explicitly or secretly.

Today in the corridor of the palace, a certain minister and a certain minister held each other together again, arguing with each other, and almost rolled up their sleeves and fought;

Today the emperor announced that a certain minister entered the palace to play chess;

Today Gu Jingyun went to the palace to chat with the emperor again, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers probably rose again, and they were really favored;

Today the emperor also summoned the Li family, a father and a son, the father was covered with frost hair, thin, limping and haggard, and was supported by others; He was only 10 years old, but his face was full of wind and frost, and he helped his father into the palace with a determined face.

I heard that it was Li Bo's second son and eldest grandson, and his eldest son and daughter-in-law had already died in a shipwreck. All officials who knew Li Bo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The hard-to-find expert in gynecology in the past has become like this, and everyone can't help but sigh in their hearts. Concubine Lan can cover the sky with only one hand.

Even the members of the fourth prince's family can't help but feel chills in their hearts, let alone the direct ministers, loyal ministers and treacherous ministers who stand firmly on the emperor's side.

The emperor indulged Concubine Lan Gui too much, and Concubine Lan Gui was a woman!

Back then Li Bo was clearly loyal to the emperor and served the country, and saved the lives of the six princes. The emperor knew he had been wronged, but he still exiled Li's family for the sake of Concubine Lan. What about them?

After they offended Concubine Lan Gui for the emperor, will the emperor decide for them?

Thinking of the Yellow River embankment breach three years ago, and the Liangjiang governor's bribery case before that, all the ministers couldn't help but feel cold.

The emperor didn't know that the appearance of the Li family's father and son would make his status in the hearts of his courtiers plummet, and he was even questioned. At this time, he was staring at Li Hong, who was trembling and kneeling on his highness.

Is this really Li Bo's son?

Why do you look older than him?

He remembered that Li Bo was several years younger than him.

Looking at the clothes on the two of them again, the rough palms, and the weather-stained faces, the emperor frowned, turned his eyes away, and said indifferently: "Li Bo's grievances have been settled, and you can restore your good status. Dali Temple will be arranged and returned, and you can stay in the capital or return to your ancestral home. As for the matter of leading the way, I will not blame the past, and it is your expedient measure, that's all, you can retreat."

The emperor did not want to see them.

Li Hong kowtowed tremblingly, lying on the ground almost unable to get up.

Li Jun took a peek at the emperor, clenched his fists under his sleeves, and finally kowtowed to his father, helped him up, and limped back.

The emperor looked at their backs with complicated eyes, and said in a low voice: "Li Bo finally saved Concubine Zhao and Lao Liu, pass on my decree, and reward their father and son with a hundred taels of gold, and then you go to the treasury to choose some imperial gifts to send to them." .”

Gu Jingyun, who was standing aside with his hands held back, said quietly: "If your majesty really pities them, it's better to reward them with a plaque."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "What plaque?"

"Let's just reward the 'loyal and wonderful hand'. Imperial Physician Li was loyal in saving the sixth prince, and his medical skills have brought him back to life. Shouldn't this be a plaque?"

After a little thought, the emperor realized that he wanted to ask his plaque to go back to their town house. With this plaque, at least ordinary people would not dare to bully them. Of course, the Fourth Prince and Concubine Lan Gui are definitely not among ordinary people.

It's just a plaque. The emperor is very generous, and he has only met the Li family father and son. He hasn't seen the reports of how miserable he was in the past, so he doesn't have a deep impression, but just now...

The emperor thought of the information he had just read. Li Hong seemed to be only thirty-two years old, and he looked older than him who was nearly sixty. The emperor felt a little guilty in his heart, and agreed as soon as he felt guilty. The manager will do it.

Director Su held up the words, glanced at Gu Jingyun, and slowly backed away.

When he entered the palace just now, His Majesty was agitated, and Gu Jingyun's eyes were flushed. The two had obviously just finished arguing, and they thought he would be punished. Who knew that the emperor seemed to have forgotten, and not only left him in the palace to meet Li The family, after listening to his sarcasm, really gave this plaque.

Speaking of which, Your Majesty, do you really not know if Gu Jingyun is mocking you, or just pretending?

Of course the emperor is pretending?

But now his mind is in chaos, he is a little powerless, and he doesn't want to quarrel with Gu Jingyun.

And what he said was right, Li Bo was in such a miserable situation, it was nothing to give his heir a plaque to support him.

So the Li family father and son went out of the palace and returned to Gu's mansion, the servant followed him to Gu's mansion with two carts of rewards, and came with an imperial decree.

When Mei heard the movement, she almost fell off the chair, Li Baolu pressed her shoulder and said with a smile, "Second Aunt, it's a good thing, the emperor gave you a reward."

"Go and prepare some purses."

The heart responded, and will reward the servants and guards in a while.

The three of Mei's mother and daughter squeezed their hands nervously and said, "Shall we change our clothes?"

"No, this suit is fine." Li Baolu brought them out to receive the order. Li Hong and Li Jun had already knelt down in the yard first.

The imperial decree was to give them plaques from the Li family, as well as some other rewards, but Li Baolu's attention was only on the plaques and returning the stolen properties.

With the plaque, Li Jun will not be bullied no matter whether he stays in the capital or returns to Shunde, and with the property, the Li family can gain a foothold in the world.

Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Li Jun sent the servants and guards away.

Li Hongzheng rubbed the silk and gold gifted by the emperor with bright eyes, Li Baolu looked at him and said, "Congratulations, Second Uncle, I don't have to worry about you when I have these things."

Li Hong looked up at her, and opened his mouth, thinking that he had abandoned her, and she had also harmed him, but in the end the Li family relied on her to get out of Qiongzhou, so he was silent for a moment or thanked awkwardly, "Baolu ,Thank you."

The corner of Li Baolu's mouth twitched slightly, looking at him, he said seriously: "Second uncle, you don't need to thank me. I did this not for you, but for my grandfather and grandmother. This is what I promised them. Now my grandfather has been wronged, and we This branch only has Brother Jun's blood, not only the honor and disgrace of the three of us sisters are related to him, but also the second uncle and aunt also depend on Brother Jun."

There was a moment of embarrassment on Li Hong's face, and he said with a bad expression: "You want him to be the head of the house?"

"That's right," Li Baolu said bluntly, "I'm worried about my second uncle being in charge of the family. I'm fine, but my cousin is not married yet."

Li Hong was indignant, "They are also my daughters, do I want them to suffer? Back then I had to..."

"Second Uncle always has ambitions that don't match his own strength," Li Baolu interrupted him, looking at him sternly and said, "Maybe you are satisfied at this moment, but who knows what 'ambition' you will have in the next moment The shadow of your grandfather, and their lives are not something you can squander, so I have to say the ugly things first, this family must be managed by Brother Jun, and you only need to enjoy the blessings, don’t worry, with me Now, he dare not be unfilial."

What I'm afraid of is that you are here. Who persuaded his son to drug him?

If he hadn't been rehabilitated, the official came to inform him with an official document, and he wouldn't necessarily have to be paralyzed in bed for several years!

Li Hong was furious, but when he looked up and saw Li Baolu's eyes, he couldn't help shrinking. He could threaten Mei Shi and Li Jun with a lawsuit, but he couldn't threaten her.

She didn't have much affection for them, and she helped them just because of her promise to her parents. Li Hong knew this very well.

And would it be beneficial to sue Li Jun?

What would happen to him in the end?

He glared at his son. Although this son is not filial, he will not skimp on food and clothing. Now that they have property and freedom, their life is much better than before. Although they are still unwilling, Li Hong still Nodding aggrievedly, "Okay, this family is for Li Jun."

Mei's mother and daughter, who had been tense all this time, finally relaxed, and Mei even knelt down in front of Li Baolu with a "plop", hugging her leg and crying.

Li He silently dragged his younger sister to kneel beside his mother, Li Baolu went to grab Mei Shi, "Second Aunt, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Li Hong's face became even uglier. He stared fiercely at Mrs. Mei with trembling fingers. He had only one son now, so he had to give in. Wait, wait, wait until he has another son...

Li Baolu pulled Mrs. Mei up, and said to Heart: "Let the kitchen prepare dinner, today is full of happy events, we will have a good celebration tonight."

Qing Ling entered the door and said, "Ma'am, the cook is too busy. The people next door are back selling their goods, why don't we call some women over to help."

"Okay," Li Baolu said generously, "You go and order." Anyway, they are servants, and they will not do what they want.

Speaking of servants, she doesn't seem to need so much, Li Baolu rubbed her chin and looked at Li Jun, "I have copied several servants here, and their family has raised servants, I don't need so many at this time, how about Are you taking two with you?"

"By the way, although the emperor said that he would return the property of the Li family, the yamen's work may not be delayed for a long time, and it is not convenient for you to live here. I still have a courtyard with two entrances in Liu'er Hutong. Tomorrow, you will move first. Go there. You are also at ease in the detached courtyard."

Li Hong's eyes lit up, and he was about to answer, but Mrs. Mei shook his head first and refused, "We are not noble people, we couldn't even eat enough before, what kind of servants are you, Baolu, keep it for yourself, if Sell ​​it if you really don’t need it, so you can make a profit.”

"Forget it, you guys should get used to your current life first." Li Baolu also realized that at this time their mentality was still that of criminals, and they had suffered from poverty since childhood, so it was impossible to change to Hunu all at once. In the mode of summoning servants, isn't she still not used to using people?

Mrs. Mei is not used to it, but Li Hong is used to it. He has lived that kind of life since he was a child. When he sees her, he rejects her immediately and can't help but stare at her.

Mei Shi ignored him, since her husband was "paralyzed" in bed, although she served him wholeheartedly with trepidation, her fear of him in her heart decreased a lot.

If Li Hong hadn't wanted to make a fuss to sue her son before boarding the boat, she wouldn't have knelt down to him.

She hadn't kneeled before him for more than a year.
