Seeing her openly flirting, Li Shengxu said righteously: "Am I such a stingy person?! It was so many years ago in the old imperial calendar, and a dignified man still misses such a small holiday?!"
Then before Sheng Weiqiao could react, he punched Meng Lifei in the eye!
"Shengxu... Shengxu, you actually hit me?!" Meng Lifei covered her eyes before rolling up her sleeves and was stunned. "We have known each other since childhood. In the early years, my thirteenth sister and I often came here. I'm playing with you in the house, and you...are you going to attack me just for this little bitch?!"
Sheng Weiqiao was also stunned: "Are you really fighting?"
After all, Meng Lifei was also Li Shengxu's aunt, and she came to Princess Wuyang's mansion as a guest. Sheng Weiqiao thought that even if Li Shengxu hated her, at most she would stop him and say some heartbreaking words to Meng Lifei. !
It turns out how much this person hated Meng Lifeng's bullying in the past, and now he actually hit her
"As a man, you can't even protect your sweetheart, so why are you messing around!?" Li Shengxu sneered righteously, kicked Meng Lifei down, and followed up with a hearty punch and kick. "You dare to bully my Qiaoer in front of my Lord. Are you thinking that my Lord is dead?!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
If you have the ability, don’t use my banner!
Also Qiaoer...Qiao Zhang Qiaozhi's guy! ! !
She was speechless when suddenly a surprised voice came from not far away: "Da Qiao?! What are you doing here?!"
Several people looked up after hearing this, only to see Xu Baomo, who was dressed in fine clothes and with a golden crown, holding a folding fan in his hand, standing in front of a tamarisk in astonishment, looking at Meng Liming who was being pushed to the ground and beaten by Li Shengxu with confusion on his face. .
"Prince Xu, you came just in time!" Princess Deping's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she subconsciously blurted out, "Are you here to see Princess Kangzhao? I heard that the two of them had an engagement before... "
"Nonsense!!!" However, when Xu Baomo heard this, he immediately jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "My prince and Da Qiao are innocently in love with each other as biological brothers and sisters. When did they have an engagement with Lao Shizi?!"
As he spoke, he looked at Sheng Weiqiao warily, his eyes full of "Even if you say everywhere that we are engaged, I will never admit it", "Da Qiao, it's like this, you left the table for a while and didn't go back, but Rao Shimei is a little worried, so Caikui asked me to come out to look for you... Mainly because the girls are worried about you, I thought something could happen in Princess Wuyang's mansion?"
Ten million!
Don’t think that this prince is worried about you! ! !
This prince has no interest in you at all! ! !
So don’t try to rely on my eldest son. My eldest son will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never marry you! ! !
"Shut up!" Sheng Weiqiao scolded impatiently, "The Marquis of Yichun and I were walking around, and we happened to bump into Princess Deping and Miss Meng Twelve. As a result, these two people said that we had an engagement and that I would go with him first. Now that I have abandoned you and taken up with the Marquis of Yichun... I don’t know what your virtues are?!"
"Is this Mr. Li Hou?" When Xu Baomo heard this, he was shocked at first... Well, Princess Wuyang and Mr. Sheng wanted to do things for the in-laws. Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xiahou and Xu Zijing all knew it However, Xu Baomo's brother and sister were not told. This was mainly because the four elders of the Xu family unanimously believed that Xu Baomo's bad character and low morals were not enough to be trusted. It would be detrimental to both parties to have this kind of marriage that has not yet been implemented hastily spread. It's time to tell him!
As for Xu Caikui, the previous order to expel Sheng Weiqiao made both Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou feel speechless about their granddaughter's brains and eyesight, and also felt that "she was not enough."
Therefore, the Xu family brothers and sisters did not know the real purpose of Sheng Weiqiao's participation in this flower viewing party. Now Xu Baomo heard that Sheng Weiqiao and the Marquis of Yichun were walking around. After being surprised, he felt sorry for himself and was immediately overjoyed. He came forward diligently, bowed and greeted Sheng Weiqiao, especially the matchmaker who recommended Sheng Weiqiao, "Master Hou has really good eyesight. Let me tell you, my younger sister, Da Qiao, is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has first-class talent and temperament." Okay! Our Xu family and Sheng family are family friends. This girl has been watched by my parents since she was a child. She is good at singing, dancing, reading, painting, poetry, and singing, and is proficient in everything! "
"Moreover, he is deeply nurturing, tolerant and open-minded, kind and considerate, gentle and humble, sensible and filial, and generous..."
With the purpose of "getting this tigress married as soon as possible so as not to continue harming my son", Xu Baomo showed off his true talents and knowledge of the new science, talked endlessly, quoted from classics, and almost all the praise words he knew. He used them all on Sheng Weiqiao, and at the end he praised Li Shengxu sincerely, "The Marquis is handsome and of noble birth. He and Da Qiao are a perfect match! The two of them will love each other forever and grow old together!"
Seeing him like this, if he hadn't known that it was absolutely impossible, he would have wanted to let Sheng Weiqiao and Li Shengxu get married on the spot and send them to the bridal chamber!
It's just that he praised Sheng Weiqiao so hard. Although Sheng Weiqiao, who knew his purpose well, didn't buy it, Li Shengxu, who had already seen something about Sheng Weiqiao's true nature, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Meng Liping and Princess Deping were even more angry!
Is this Xu Baomo mentally ill? !
Although Princess Deping's previous inference about Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo's engagement was intended to discredit Sheng Weiqiao and was quite embellished, there was no problem with the whole outline. It is said that Nan had mentioned Mr. Xu's wish to Queen Mother Meng. Tell Sheng Weiqiao to Xu Baomo. Even if these two people have not been engaged, they have at least discussed getting married!
So why was Xu Baomo not jealous when he heard that Sheng Weiqiao and Li Shengxu were hooking up in private? Instead, he couldn't wait to assist? !
After all, Sheng Weiqiao is also good-looking. He is now the county head and his family is in a very good situation... He missed such a girl. As a man of his prime, Xu Baomo felt a little bit reluctant, a little disappointed, a little aggrieved and a little indignant. ? !
Is he a man? !
Or is he a male who likes men, so he has no problem with a young and beautiful daughter of a family friend falling into the arms of others
Princess Deping and Meng Lifei were going crazy. Li Shengxu simply couldn't stand Xu Baomo's desire to force himself. He stopped his fists and kicks at Meng Lifei, adjusted his clothes slightly, and said mockingly: "Since you You think this Da Qiao is so good, why didn’t you ask the Sheng family to marry her?”
Hearing this, Princess Deping and Meng Lifei suddenly turned from anger to joy, thinking that Xu Baomo was just trying to say something sarcastic
Sheng Weiqiao turned his head and looked at Li Shengxu with murderous eyes: What do you mean? ! I want to fall out after taking advantage of you? ! !
"Master Hou, I just said it!" Xu Baomo immediately became anxious when he heard this, fearing that he would change his mind and not marry Sheng Weiqiao, and that Sheng Weiqiao would continue to torment him if he couldn't marry, so he said quickly, " Da Qiao and I are brothers and sisters. I look at her as I look at my biological sister who has the same father and mother. No matter how good my sister is, who would have the desire to marry her?! Isn’t this incest?!"
Li Shengxu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then your father-in-law said before that your grandfather had intended to propose marriage to Da Qiao on your behalf...?"
"That was what my grandfather meant. My grandfather thought we could become a couple, but later he found out that we had always had an innocent brother-sister relationship, so we naturally dropped the matter!" Xu Baomo said with a sincere look on his face. I wish I could show him my heart and soul, "Actually, my grandfather just said this casually as a joke. It's just that his old man's family was in the south at the time, and someone below spread this word to Chang'an. My parents hadn't checked with my grandfather at that time. , out of respect for the elders, I said that in front of the Queen Mother. Now my grandparents are here, the misunderstanding is solved, and the matter will naturally be settled! "
Then he looked at Princess Deping and Meng Lifei with guarded expressions, "As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. It is said that both of them are young and beautiful girls. How can you slander someone's reputation without any evidence?! Da Qiao has always been a kind and polite person, and he will definitely not offend you two for no reason. Why would you two fabricate the news that Da Qiao and I are engaged to mislead the Marquis of Yichun?!"
But if you take a closer look, Princess Deping and Meng Lifei are both pretty good-looking... It’s no wonder that Princess Deping’s biological father is King Gaomi, and her biological mother is Concubine Mo, the biological niece of Concubine Mo. They both got Concubine Mo from Concubine Mo. The good looks passed down to her will naturally be good to her; as for Meng Lifei, although her biological father, Marquis Wu'an, is average-looking, how can she be Marquis Wu'an's concubine if her biological mother is not pretty? Meng Liming, who happened to know the appearance of her biological mother, is of course also a beauty.
Xu Baomo's dream of "sleeping with thousands of beauties" was about to start. He was resentful of them for preventing him from solving the hidden danger of the Sheng family's tigress. Now he muttered to himself, "Hey, these two beauties are worth sleeping with." His tone suddenly became much gentler, and his eyes He glanced back and forth at their faces, chests, and figures, and said, "Well, there must be some misunderstanding here? Da Qiao, how about you apologize to each other and let this matter go?"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was silent for a moment, then walked out from behind Li Shengxu, came to him, picked up the hem of his skirt and kicked him a few times. After kicking him, he snorted, "If you want to apologize, go and apologize! Don't embarrass me like this next time." , I’ll hang you up and whip you!!!”
Then he waved his hand and walked away with his head held high!
Princess Deping and Meng Liyi looked at Li Shengxu at the same time, writing from head to toe, "Can you believe that such a person can sing, dance, read and understand, play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, write poems and songs, and have needlework for women since she was a child?" "Proficient in everything, but also deeply cultivated, tolerant and open-minded, kind and considerate, gentle and humble, sensible, filial, and generous"? !
"...Look, let me just say that Da Qiao and I are purely brother and sister, right?" When Xu Baomo saw this, he secretly thought, "What does this tigress mean?" She refused to pretend to be gentle in front of so many people, so she actually didn't like Li Shengxu at all and was planning to use this method to make herself jealous!
The problem is that when my son saw her with other people, he didn't want to be jealous at all. He almost wanted to celebrate her with three big whites on the spot!
He secretly wiped away his tears and firmly defended Sheng Weiqiao, "I'm used to having small fights, but Da Qiao is such a true-hearted, innocent heart, pure, kind and unpretentious!"
Li Shengxu silently looked at the marks on his silk trousers, and estimated the force of the kick just now... Xu Baomo was pressed down by Mr. Xu since he was a child, squatting on horseback and practicing martial arts. His lower body was stronger than ordinary people. People are much more stable, and even after being kicked, I took two steps back. If I had been using professional medicine jars for eighteen years, I would probably have to ask a doctor... right? !
For a while, the young Marquis of Yichun felt that he needed to think carefully about life-long matters...
However, seeing that Sheng Weiqiao had given him a legitimate opportunity to avenge his previous shame, Li Shengxu decided to give her some face today. Well, after all, doing so would allow him to stab Meng Liping and Princess Deping in the heart. One knife!
The most important thing is that after beating Meng Lifei just now, if she still doesn't leave, will Meng Lifei be dragged to see Princess Wuyang in tears? !
So he coughed dryly: "What about that? You can do it yourself. I'll go see Da Qiao!"
Saying that, he ran away in a flash!
Meng Lifei and Princess Deping were left to look at his back hatefully for a while, and then cast their hateful eyes at Xu Baomo at the same time!
Facing the scorching gazes of the two beauties, Xu Baomo opened his folding fan, and after fanning his chest twice, he cupped his hands with a smile: "You two are very polite! I'm Xu Baomo, the words are correct... I dare to ask you two , can you move your arms?"
"Who do you think you are? You're worthy of me?!" Meng Lifei loved Li Shengxu wholeheartedly. Even though she had just been beaten by him, she couldn't hate her now, so she filled her heart with anger, grievance, and embarrassment. He vented his anger on Sheng Weiqiao and Xu Baomo. After hearing this, he spat on the ground and said angrily, "You even moved your arms... All the men in the world are dead and I don't even bother to look at you!"
With that said, he limped towards the banquet, obviously wanting to file a complaint with Princess Wuyang for justice.
Princess Deping, on the other hand, quickly calculated in her mind that the reason why she fell in love with Li Shengxu was not because of her true love, but mainly because she wanted to find a way out.
But from what we have just seen, this candidate has already been preempted by Sheng Weiqiao, and even if not, there are still strong opponents such as Meng Lifeng.
The most important thing is that although Li Shengxu didn't punch or kick her like he did to Meng Liming, he obviously had no interest in her.
The Xu Baomo in front of me is also a prince after all, or Chuanlu. He is young and good-looking. He takes the initiative to get close to him. Why not give him a chance
As for Xu Baomo looking more frivolous...
Meng Lifei cared about this, but Princess Deping didn't. After all, growing up in her situation, it was impossible for Sheng Weiqiao to have the extravagant hope of asking her husband to stay with her alone for the rest of his life.
She would be satisfied if she could be the principal wife of a duke's family, retain the dignity that a married woman should have, and retain the future inheritance rights of her biological son.
So at this moment, his mind changed, and he smiled and nodded, his eyes wandering and said: "But I don't know where the prince wants to visit? Although I haven't been to Aunt Wuyang's mansion very often, I still know its location. Can I introduce it to the Crown Prince!"
