Chapter 122 The slap in the face came so quickly
Huang Suqiu looked embarrassed. She wiped the water off her face and said with a forced smile, "Hey, it's no big deal! When the time comes... when your eldest brother's salary comes in, I'll buy you another one."
Hearing this, Li Jihuan and Chen Anran, mother and son, looked at each other in surprise, and then both burst out laughing.
Li Jihuan turned to look at Huang Suqiu, mocking her with disdain, "No...are you okay? You still think your son is the King of Qin? A monthly salary? You're dreaming! If he hadn't fled overseas, the imperial court would have sent troops to round him up long ago."
Thinking of this, he became even more angry!
Damn it! Originally, the Beiliang Wolf Cavalry belonged to him, but because the barbarians moved south, Li Jize took the troops away.
Of course, what annoyed Li Jihuan even more was...
Everyone, including the emperor, was fooled by Li Jize! From beginning to end, he was just playing mad and stupid.
Poor Huang Suqiu stayed in the woodshed in the backyard and didn't know much about the news. After hearing what the bastard said, her eyes widened and she said, "No... no, Your Majesty and Ji Ze are childhood sweethearts! She wouldn't do that."
Chen Anran crossed his arms over his chest, with a condescending expression, looking at Huang Suqiu with disdain, "You're such a jerk! What good do you think your son is? His Majesty has already reduced the power of the feudal lords and stripped Li Jize of his title of King of Qin. You...? Humph! If it weren't for the protection of the Li family, you, the mother of a traitor, would have been arrested and thrown into the East Factory prison!"
The mother and son took turns bombarding Huang Suqiu mentally, making her sit there powerless and depressed.
She only remembered that her son Li Jize had arranged to meet her outside the city that day, but when she arrived at the city gate, she was captured by Li Jihuan and put under house arrest. She had never expected that so many things would happen later...
Li Jize fled overseas! The empress was furious and reduced the power of the feudal lords! She also regarded her son as a traitor.
Chen Anran looked at Huang Suqiu's miserable and miserable appearance, feeling extremely proud. He turned to look at his son Li Jihuan and said, "By the way! Jihuan, why are you looking for this dress for no reason?"
Li Jihuan glanced at Huang Suqiu with disdain, then came back to his senses and said proudly, "I received a letter from the palace! The imperial edict will arrive at the Li family soon! So we have to prepare in advance."
"This...? Your Majesty's decree? What is it about?"
Chen Anran looked puzzled. You know, since Li Jin and Li Jize left, the Li family hasn't had an "Angel" come for a long time.
Li Jihuan was a little proud. "I received some news. His Majesty wants to invite our whole family to dinner! Moreover, the capital is now under siege, and His Majesty can only rely on the Imperial Guards! But he is missing a general..."
Having said that, he adjusted his collar with a hint of pride.
Mother Chen Anran's eyes also lit up, "So... His Majesty is going to use you again!"
While the mother and daughter were talking back and forth, Huang Suqiu suddenly realized what was going on. Entering the palace? Treating the whole family to a banquet? Meeting the empress?
Yes! She can go see the Empress and ask her to forgive Ji Ze's sins!
She didn't want her son to spend the rest of his life as a lonely ghost overseas without being able to come back.
Thinking of this, Huang Suqiu quickly stood up. While Chen Anran and her son looked puzzled, she said with a smile, "Ji Huan! Since His Majesty wants to host a banquet for our family, should I also go and prepare something?"
Ok?
Hearing this, Li Jihuan turned around and rolled his eyes.
Chen Anran was blunt, "Are you worthy enough to attend the state banquet? Your son, Li Jize, is a traitor! Aren't you afraid that if you go, His Majesty will see you and think of your son, and kill you in a rage?"
Huang Suqiu was so embarrassed by the concubine's words that her face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.
But in order to see the Empress, she had to be thick-skinned and went forward with a smile, holding Chen Anran's hand and saying, "Haha... don't say that, sister!"
"Ok?"
As soon as he said this, Chen Anran glared at Huang Suqiu, and instantly made her change her words.
"No! Sister, sister... just take me with you! I promise not to cause you any trouble."
"Get out of here!"
Chen Anran flung his hand and pushed Huang Suqiu down again, pointing at her nose and cursing, "Are you not afraid of death? Our family still wants to live. What if you are allowed to attend the state banquet and it affects my Ji Huan's future? Humph!"
Li Jihuan looked at Huang Suqiu lying on the ground and pursed his lips in disdain, "What are you talking about!"
Turning around, he coldly ordered the servants at the backyard gate, "Don't let this rude woman out! If she affects the reputation of my Li family, I will hold you accountable!"
"I understand, Master!"
In the current Li family, Chen Anran is the lady and Li Jihuan is the young master.
As for Huang Suqiu? She was just a servant of the Li family!
Her son, Li Jize, was a taboo! No one could mention him.
……
"Angels are here!"
With the entire Li family bathing and burning incense to welcome him, Eunuch Gao finally arrived with the imperial edict.
Old Lady Li, Chen Anran, and Li Jihuan led the crowd in kneeling down to welcome him. They originally thought that this imperial edict was to enthrone Li Jihuan and give him a high position.
For Li Jihuan's sake, the emperor wanted to grant the Li family more favors...
But I never thought that things were not like this at all!
The imperial edict restored Li Jize's title as King of Qin and ordered him to lead his troops to the capital immediately to defend the king. Furthermore, the King of Qin's wife was brought to live in Yongshou Palace, with the euphemistic excuse, "The King of Qin is away at war! Your wife will be my care." A state banquet was also held to honor the Li family.
As for...
There was no mention of giving Li Jihuan a promotion, a raise, or re-employment.
"Appreciate this!"
After Eunuch Gao finished reading the imperial edict, the Li family was still in a state of confusion.
Ah this...
No! What on earth is the Empress thinking?
Previously, Li Jize was labeled a traitor and a traitor, and an imperial decree was issued to reduce the power of the feudal lords. How could it be so childish in the blink of an eye? And he was restored to the title of king?
That's right! The capital is under siege, and Li Jize must come to the king's aid immediately.
But will Li Jize come?
"Cough cough..."
In short, while the family was still daydreaming, Eunuch Gao coughed.
Old Lady Li was the first to react. She immediately led her family to accept the imperial decree and express gratitude. She stood up and was about to receive the imperial decree!
Unexpectedly...
Eunuch Gao was wary, and after glancing at the crowd, he retracted the imperial edict and asked, "Why isn't Madam Li here?"
Ah this...
As a family, you look at me and I look at you, it's so embarrassing.
Eunuch Gao was displeased. He angrily said, "The Prince of Qin is coming to defend the country, and Your Majesty has held a state banquet in his honor! What's the matter? His mother is not here, how are you going to receive the order?"
