Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 456 Tea Serving

Yue Fuli said nothing, withdrew his gaze, and continued walking out.

Si He followed closely behind under the umbrella held by Gao You.

The weather was really bad today, with the sun shining brightly, but she was in a very good mood. With his words, she would not have to worry so much about dealing with the girls from the Guo family who were marrying with her.

Of course, if the matter of raising the wife to be equal to the husband is negotiated, then she will have to resort to extreme means to deal with it. Anyway, the marriage is already done, and she doesn't care whether there will be bloodshed.

The palace is very large. After leaving the courtyard, it is surrounded by pavilions, towers, and corridors. It is built in a unique and spacious way.

As she walked along, the servants along the way couldn't help but glance at her a few more times when they saw that she had to walk with an umbrella. Although no one dared to say much, there must have been some discussion in private.

Si He didn't care, it was not an unusual behavior.

After walking through long corridors, we finally arrived at the front yard of the palace.

At this moment, the front hall was very lively with many people coming. Most of the elders and sisters-in-law of the Yue family had come, and there was also a group of younger generations. The originally spacious front hall seemed a bit crowded after so many people gathered together.

Among them, Yue Fuqi was also there, and he smiled faintly at the two of them.

The Eastern Han king Yue Nantian and his queen Wei sat on the main seat, looking majestic.

Among the female members of the Yue family, the most respected one is Princess Wei, who is also Yue Fuli's biological mother.

Yue Fuli lost his mother at a young age. As he was a concubine's son and his grandmother passed away a few years ago, his marriage was delayed until so late. Of course, most of the young men of the same age in the mansion were not married either, all because of mourning.

Yue Tian had many wives and concubines, and he had many daughters, more than twenty in total, but only eight sons, two of whom were legitimate sons, one born to his original wife and the other to his current wife. The current mistress of the house, Wei, was his second wife.

Because Yue Nantian had other ideas, he had no plans to make his legitimate son the crown prince for the time being. He said to the outside world that the most capable one would be given the position. In most cases, he treated his sons equally, and the legitimate son did not receive more preferential treatment because of his status.

Therefore, the competition for the position of crown prince is very fierce.

So, when Si He came to the front hall, she saw that everyone had different expressions. Some were looking at them, some were watching the fun, some were looking at them with contempt, some were smiling but with complicated expressions, and so on.

After the two of them came in, the sounds of people talking and laughing died down a bit.

Si He followed Yue Fuli, first bowed to Yue Nantian and Wei, then served tea and changed her words, doing things according to the rules, and everything went smoothly.

Everyone in the room was in a cheerful and harmonious mood. Just as the two were about to take their leave, a concubine in her early thirties suddenly spoke up, "Fifth Brother, I heard that the Guo family is considering taking a concubine as a concubine?"

Yue Fuli looked at the concubine with a cold gaze, but before he could speak, Yue Nantian, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "On such a happy day, why are you saying these things?"

His tone was calm, but he was obviously a little unhappy.

Seeing this, the concubine had no choice but to shut up. She had originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to test the waters, but the prince's attitude made her very disappointed.

Si He glanced at the concubine, then looked away, remaining calm and composed.

At this moment, the eyes of others seemed to be full of interest, but due to the majesty of Yue Nantian, no one dared to talk about it anymore.

After the tea ceremony, without much conversation, Yue Nantian called all his sons to the study to discuss something. Si He went back to the yard alone. She was not interested in dealing with this group of women with different thoughts.

Moreover, she estimated that she would not be able to stay in this palace for long, because according to the information she got from Nanny Mo last night and the information she had received from Yue Fuli's men before, Yue Fuli would soon have to go to Wucheng on the border of Jizhou to garrison.

Nowadays, all the princes in the palace who are sixteen years old or above are arranged to various places in Jizhou to consolidate the power of the Yue family. They will only return to Changping City except for major events or special days.

Therefore, there is really no need to deal with the women of the Yue family. There is nothing else except intrigue.

However, judging from Yue Nantian’s attitude just now, it is obvious that as Yue Fuli said, the plan to raise his wife to equal status did not succeed. I don’t know what happened in the process?

Was it Yue Fuli's involvement? Or did Yue Nantian have other plans?

But no matter what, it's a good thing for her.

After she returned to the yard, because the sun was too strong, she stayed in the house and practiced martial arts to pass the time.

A day passed quietly. The girls of the Guo family who were locked in the back room were relatively well behaved and did not make any noise. This situation was only temporary. They were waiting for news, and Si He was also waiting.

Yue Fuli came back in the evening.

He only said that he would set off for Wucheng the day after tomorrow.

Si He was not surprised by the news. Since he was going to guard Wucheng, she naturally had to follow him.

As for the matter of returning home, he gave up, after all, the journey was long.

She was happy about this. It was naturally better to stay in another city than in this palace. At least she would be freer, and she would have time to search for Mo Mo's whereabouts.

In addition, there was another piece of news that surprised her.

The Guo family wanted to marry their favorite daughter to the Yue family as a concubine, but for some reason, Yue Nantian did not agree to make Guo Jiamei a concubine. Instead, he suggested that the Guo family marry another legitimate daughter and offer a high enough price. Then, he could consider letting the fourth son, Yuezi, marry her as a concubine.

When this proposal was made, Guo Zan's face turned ugly. Although this was a good thing for the Guo family, as it would allow them to get married and the wife would be a co-wife, it would further consolidate the relationship between the Guo and Yue families.

However, this does not benefit his third wife at all!

Because his third house no longer has a daughter ready to marry, only the first and second houses have one, and his sister can only be a concubine of low status. How can he be happy?

But he couldn't refuse outright, because he really had no power to decide on this matter. The Yue family would send someone to go to the Guo family with him and let the person in charge of the Guo family make the decision.

At this time, Guo Jiamei was still hoping that her brother Guo Zan could help her reach a deal to raise his wife, so she stayed in the house honestly and did not make any more trouble.

The other girls of the Guo family could only watch silently, hoping that the matter of elevating their wives would be successful, because only in this way would Guo Jiaqu not be the only one in power, and they would have the opportunity to contact Yue Fuli and change their current difficult situation.

They all waited silently, but unfortunately, there was no source of information. Their personal maids could not even walk out of the yard, and they were locked in the house and had no idea what the situation was.

Si He was in a good mood and ate more at dinner. Today was a good day.

Of course, what made her even happier was that Yue Fuli took the initiative to tell her the news.

She could feel that his attitude towards her seemed to have changed a little bit.
