When Qu Qingning heard the scolding coming from next door, he couldn't help but prick his ears. If he hadn't seen this black iron wall, he wouldn't have believed that that extremely vulgar couple could be superior innate masters. .
"This is what is called hiding from the world, isn't it? I feel so sorry for myself!"
Qu Qingning sighed, closed his eyes and continued to control the Heart-Eating Gu to dig in the earth. His expression was so pious that he would not hesitate to be an excavator who was born in Lan Xiang...
Su Li meditated for a few days and finally studied the remaining pages of the Hehuan Sect's secret medicine. After cultivating the poison path to her level, the so-called sect's unique secret medicine was just an extra lock to create doubts. Now her key and The locks are all in your hands, so you can see through them at a glance, and it won't take long to develop the antidote to Hongchen Powder.
As for the poison in Tang Lei's body, it won't work for a while, and the opportunity for detoxification has not yet come, so the development of the antidote is not urgent.
On this day, Su Li woke up early in the morning in Su Mansion and before she went out, Granny Li suddenly appeared in front of the door with two big red invitations.
"Miss, something serious has happened!"
Su Li raised her eyebrows and sat down again. She stopped thinking about going to the next house and reached out to take the two invitations and opened them.
The first one was sent by the First Prince's Mansion.
The second picture is of the Third Prince's Mansion.
"I have heard for a long time that Miss Su Li is naturally beautiful and talented! I have admired her for a long time. I specially organized a banquet at the Hongyan Tower (Jiuqufang) and invited Miss Su Li to show her appreciation. I will talk about it on the first day of August. I am sure that Sweep the couch and wait!"
Putting the invitation on the table, Su Li's eyes flashed with deep thought.
Except for the different locations, these two invitations seemed to be carved from the same mold. If she really wanted to go to the banquet, she could only choose one of them.
The emperor is old, but the position of crown prince has not yet been established, so the battle to seize the throne is inevitable.
The eldest prince and the third prince are obviously in opposition, and both sides are sparing no effort to win over each other. Behind her stands the imperial master Qi Xianqing. She can speak in front of the emperor, so she is naturally regarded as a favorite and vying to win her over.
"Miss, these are the eldest prince and the third prince. If you make any of them unhappy..."
Nanny Li was frightened and worried about Su Li. This step was too difficult to take. No matter who she chose, she would offend others, but if she didn't choose anyone, then both parties would be offended!
"Nanny, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Su Li smiled slightly, and she was not surprised at all that the fire suddenly burned her body. In her previous life, she later heard from hearsay that the two princes were also competing against each other, but neither of them became emperors later, which was quite ridiculous.
Putting down the invitation, Su Li went out as usual, without any intention of replying to any of the princes.
Grandma Li was full of doubts and waited anxiously for a day, but no one from the prince's palace came to hold her accountable. It seemed that no one was convinced, so she decided that Su Li would go on the first day of August.
The tit-for-tat tension between the two princely palaces became increasingly obvious.
In such a weird atmosphere, the first day of August finally arrived.
Su Li was wearing a feather-blue brocade embroidered shirt, with a jade hairpin inserted sideways into her jet-black bun. She put some makeup on her delicate little face and was about to go out. Su Qingtan knocked on the door and came in. Seeing her second sister's dress, her eyes flashed. He was very surprised, but instantly turned into worried, and asked in a deep voice:
"You really don't want me to go with you to the banquet tonight?"
He understood that Su Li was invited only because of Qi Xianqing. If she rejected the prince, it was hard to imagine whether the former's anger would directly engulf Su Li.
Remembering that he was lucky to have Qi Xianqing as his banner before, he was able to protect Su Li from harassment by numerous playboys. Unexpectedly, he would be involved in a dangerous battle for inheritance.
It’s true that Qi Xianqing succeeds and Qi Xianqing loses!
Su Li walked over with a peaceful smile, and gently straightened Su Qingtan's slightly uneven clothes. There was a convincing power in his gentle voice, "Brother, don't worry. I will know how to control it." Yes, and besides, the decision-making power on this matter does not lie with me, but with Master. I believe that as long as I say this, the prince and others will not make things difficult for me."
Su Qingtan felt a little better and forced a smile: "I hope so."
"Brother, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road!"
“…”
Watching Su Li's carriage leave, Su Qingtan looked tense and clenched the fists hidden under her sleeves. He... was still too weak! If he had enough power and power, why would he force his second sister, a daughter who was no more than sixteen years old, to face the oppression of the prince? !
"Your current status cannot protect your sister at all. When you think clearly one day, you will understand the meaning of my words. I hope you will take the initiative to come to me instead of passively accepting it."
Recalling Ling Qinglan's words in her mind, Su Qingtan gritted her teeth, her eyes extremely firm at this moment.
…
Yanliu Lane, behind Hongyan Tower, the river is sparkling, and a brightly lit exquisite building boat is rippling on the river. A long wooden board is set up at the bridge head, extending all the way to the bank. The breeze blows under the new moon, and it is elegant. And chic.
"Master Quxiang, I really appreciate your love today."
The eldest prince Dongfang Sheng came early. He booked the Hongyan Tower tonight, but he felt that it was inappropriate to entertain women at the Hongyan Tower, so Qu Lu came up with a way to go boating on the river, which solved the problem for him.
Qu Lu covered her face and smiled sweetly, full of charm, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. It is my duty to help the prince solve his problems. I also ask the prince not to forget the help of the Hehuan Sect when he ascends the throne."
Dongfang Sheng's mouth went dry and he made a sound in his throat. He cursed secretly that the women of the Hehuan Sect were indeed vixens. However, he maintained the image of a gentle gentleman on his face. He nodded with a slight smile: "Of course. The time is coming. , Miss Qu, please take a seat."
After saying this, he pointed to the gauze tent at the stern of the boat. There was a guqin placed behind the gauze tent. He would feel much better if there was a gauze tent between them.
Qu Lu's eyes flashed with surprise. The eldest prince could actually withstand the temptation of Hehuan San. He had underestimated him. With his patient temperament, he might actually be able to succeed.
The mission under the sect was also completed, Qu Lu quietly left Hehuan San, stood up and walked into the gauze tent. Dongfang Sheng indeed felt much better, his heart was slightly at ease, and he waited carefully.
He had not yet seen anything about the martial arts world, so he failed to notice the strangeness just now.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to Xu hour, but no one appeared on the river bank. Even if Dongfang Sheng had some confidence in the chips in his hand, how would he behave if Su Li didn't come today
For a moment, Dongfang Sheng felt slightly irritable and couldn't help but loosen the buttons on his chest and take a breath.
But at this moment, two figures, one blue and one white, suddenly appeared on the river bank covered with lanterns. The blue figure was Su Li. Dongfang Sheng was perked up, but when he saw the face of the white figure next to Su Li, , a pair of eyes immediately stared as big as Tongling!
This kid... why is he here? !
Ling Li pushed his wheelchair and entered the building boat quickly, even faster than Su Li. When he saw Dongfang Sheng with a dull look on his face, he immediately laughed and patted the stiff Dongfang Sheng's shoulder very warmly. , said with a crooked face and a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Brother Sheng is still as charming as ever! After receiving your invitation, I immediately dressed up and rushed over without stopping! What do you think? My clothes are not an insult to your face, Brother Sheng, right?"
Looking at Ling Li's extremely attentive face, Dongfang Sheng's face instantly turned darker than the bottom of the pot. He couldn't believe that the little bastard who dared to put aphrodisiacs in his wine a year ago suddenly became sensible today.
He lowered his head and saw Ling Li's wrinkled clothes, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched violently. This little bastard... was wearing exactly the same clothes as him! !
Seeing Ling Li's wrinkled clothes with some yellow and dirty things stuck to them, the eldest prince, who was originally very satisfied with his clothes, suddenly felt like vomiting.
This kid is really here to cause trouble!
However, today he can only grit his teeth and eat the bitter pill! Because... he did give the Ling family an invitation.
At this moment, Su Li had already walked to the building. Looking at Ling Li who was full of pride and the eldest prince who was turning blue with anger, she couldn't help but feel strange. Why is he back
Seeing Su Li come in, he looked confused. Dongfang Sheng instantly felt that his face was being ripped off by Ling Li, and he was rubbed hard on the ground, but he still kept smiling at this moment, holding back his breath, and said to Su Li: "Miss Su is willing to come to show off, it's really great It is my honor, please sit down for a moment and allow me to deal with the emergency."
Su Li showed an understanding smile, nodded slightly and said, "First Prince, take it easy."
As he said that, he really just sat and watched the show.
Dongfang Sheng felt relieved. He was really afraid that Su Li would be angered by Ling Li. In that case, his impression in front of his father would definitely be worse than that of his third brother. It should be noted that a slight difference can make a huge difference!
Suddenly, Dongfang Sheng felt a chill in his body, as if a chill had locked onto him, making him unable to help but tremble slightly. But this feeling came and went quickly, and he never found the source.
Dongfang Sheng glanced at Ling Li, who was still giggling, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He actually thought for a moment that the source was Ling Li. He was really confused today.
Even if the sun comes out in the west, it can't be this little bastard, haha...
Dongfang Sheng sat next to Ling Li's wheelchair, holding back his anger and smiling: "Brother Ling Li, I remember that the invitation was clearly written to your cousin, Ling Qinglan. Why are you here?"
"Hi!"
Ling Li had a matter-of-fact expression and replied without hesitation: "Brother Sheng, you and Brother Lang San don't know how to discuss the date and send invitations to my cousin at the same time. Qing Lan doesn't have the skills to do all the work, how can he be so busy? Qinglan went to Brother Lang’s banquet, and I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I came here!”
I'm afraid you won't be happy...
Not happy…
When Su Li heard this, she almost burst into laughter. She probably understood.
Ling Qinglan apparently belonged to the third prince's faction. The third prince sent an invitation to Ling Qinglan to discuss important matters. Dongfang Sheng wanted to cause trouble, so he sent an invitation to Ling Qinglan at the same time.
The third prince was also angry, so he treated her with his own medicine, and also sent her an invitation.
Originally, Ling Qinglan went to the third prince's place, and when she came to the eldest prince's place, it seemed to be a tie.
But Dongfang Sheng had forgotten that the Ling family had a master who "didn't understand the rules".
Dongfang Sheng looked at Ling Li with an expression of "I am Lei Feng, no need to thank me", his face was blue and white, it was wonderful.
