Chapter 522 Wei Family Girl
Li Chu took off his scholar's clothes and changed into a pink rose scented tight-fitting robe with long sleeves. His silky hair fell on his shoulders. The young man turned into a beautiful girl in an instant.
"Miss, Madam knows you are out and is waiting for you outside." The maid came in and whispered.
"Okay, I understand." Li Chu... no, it should be Wei Lichu just smiled when he heard it.
She walked out of the inner room and came to the flower hall with light steps.
The woman sitting in the armchair also had a stunningly beautiful face. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger as she glared at Wei Lichu.
"Mother, don't be angry with me. I was really bored at home, so I went out to the teahouse to relieve my boredom." Wei Lichu hugged Mrs. Wei's shoulders and acted coquettishly.
Madam Wei said helplessly, "There are many ways to relieve boredom, but you insist on going to a teahouse outside, where there are all kinds of people. I am also worried about your reputation."
"They don't know that I'm a girl from the Wei family." Wei Lichu disagreed.
"Mother, women in our Southern Dynasty can also serve as officials. I don't want to waste my life in the harem. In terms of talent and wisdom, I am not inferior to men, so why can't I serve as an official like men?"
"Mother knows that you have great ambitions, but..." Mrs. Wei frowned.
"Things are different now. In the past, my mother thought that the Southern Dynasty might undergo earth-shaking changes. Who knew that things would go against our wishes? When the crown prince ascended the throne, he might not be willing to use female officials."
Wei Lichu whispered, "The Queen Mother is wise and intelligent, and has already paved the way for the future. The new emperor is not in good health to begin with, and perhaps he won't live for many more years..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Wei shouted at her.
"Walls have ears. Even at home, you cannot say such outrageous words, lest you lose your composure and be caught by others outside." Mrs. Wei warned her sternly.
Wei Lichu's cheeks were slightly hot, knowing that she had said something wrong, "Mom, I was wrong. I must be more careful in what I say and do in the future."
"Chu'er, don't think about being a female official anymore. Mother thinks this is not a easy path to take." Mrs. Wei said.
She had thought that Ruan Danyang would have complete control of the court in a few years, but when the regent returned to the Southern Dynasty, Ruan Danyang's ambitions suddenly disappeared, and even her women's army and female officials seemed to have disappeared.
There is none of the momentum that people once yearned for.
The Wei family had previously joined Ruan Danyang under her guidance. Now that the situation is clear, they should perhaps not put all their eggs in one basket.
"It's even more necessary to go if it's not easy to go." Wei Lichu disagreed.
"My cousin can become the first female official in the Southern Dynasty, why can't I?"
Wei Lichu was full of confidence. "Besides, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and we don't know what the future will be like."
It is still unknown who will win by then.
She felt that Queen Mother Ruan was just delaying the war by letting the weak prince ascend the throne first and then driving the regent to his fiefdom. Now the royal capital was under the control of the Queen Mother again.
In time, when the time is right, maybe everything will come to fruition.
"You, drunkenly dancing in the scripture pavilion with a half-rolled book, sitting in a well and talking about the vastness of the world. You only live in Suzhou and have never seen the wider world. Your mother is really worried about your personality." Mrs. Wei was worried.
Her daughter was smart but somewhat complacent. She had studied in Suzhou Academy for several years and her talent surpassed those other scholars. However, the world was so big and there were so many talented people; how could a small Suzhou be compared to them?
"Mom, I'm not self-righteous. I have never slacked off over the years and I know what my goal is," said Wei Lichu.
"I just...feel a little sorry for the Queen Mother."
Whether it is the weak new emperor or the regent who has been living among the people for many years, they are not as good as the empress dowager.
Madam Wei's face darkened. "No matter what you think, our Wei family will definitely have dealings with the palace from now on."
"When you meet the Regent in the future, you must be careful in what you say and do, and be respectful. You must not overstep the line in anything."
Hearing her mother's sharp tone, Wei Lichu also straightened her face and said, "Mother, I'll remember this."
Mrs. Wei said everything that needed to be said, and her expression softened a little.
"You said you met a strange woman outside today. What did she say?" asked Mrs. Wei.
Wei Lichu told Mrs. Wei what she had said in the teahouse today.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wei frowned again.
"The Regent has just arrived and we don't know his strength yet, and you are rushing to offend him!" Mrs. Wei scolded.
Li Chu said, "There are so many people in the teahouse today, who can remember who?"
"The Regent should also adapt to the temperament of our Suzhou nobles, and not impose his habits in the Yong Dynasty on us." Wei Lichu snorted arrogantly.
Madam Wei tapped her forehead and said, "You won't learn your lesson unless you suffer a little."
"The woman today should be the Regent Princess. Apart from her appearance, I don't think she has anything to worry about."
"The Regent Princess has been in Suzhou for quite a few days, but we haven't received a reply to the visiting card we sent. Don't underestimate her," said Mrs. Wei.
Shen Sui'an was born into a famous family in the Yong Dynasty. His grandfather is still the emperor's teacher. He has been able to follow the regent all the way to the present, and there is not a single concubine in the palace who can stay.
How can such a woman be underestimated?
"Don't underestimate anyone?" Wei Shidong's low voice came from outside the house.
Wei Lichu's eyes lit up with joy, "Daddy is back."
She immediately went out to greet him, saluted coquettishly, and smiled brightly, "Daddy."
Seeing his beloved little daughter, Wei Shidong smiled, "You're so well behaved today, why didn't you go out?"
"Didn't Daddy go to the Regent's Palace today? Did you meet the Regent? How was he? Was he a coward and not worth mentioning?" Wei Lichu asked with a smile.
Madam Wei's face turned cold. "You still remember what I said, right? It seems that I should put you under house arrest to prevent you from getting into trouble."
Wei Lichu stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, I was wrong."
"Fu Jinyuan is deep and unfathomable, he is not an ordinary person. Chu'er, you must stop talking nonsense. He is not an ordinary nobleman. He is the regent and the commander of the Pacification Division." Wei Shidong warned his daughter in a deep voice.
Hearing about the Pacification Division, Wei Lichu finally put away his smile, "Dad, is he a trouble?"
"This is definitely not a good thing for our Suzhou aristocracy." Wei Shidong and his wife looked at each other.
"You need to find a way to meet with the princess and find out the truth about the palace."
Madam Wei nodded and said, "I will send the visiting card tomorrow. However, the princess has been here for half a month and has no intention of meeting us at all."
Strange and strange.
"Salt Lake City is a lesson for us. I order everyone in the tribe to act with caution and not act rashly." Today he deliberately stepped forward in a high-profile manner to make Fu Jinyuan think he was reckless and arrogant, but the people under him had no sense of propriety and had to be careful in what they did.
Mrs. Wei: "I'll give the order."
