During the dinner, Gu Taijun was probably tired and did not show up. After Ling Li took Su Li and her mother to eat, Qiu Meng handed an invitation to Ling Li and said carefully:
"Son, I know that you have changed your mind for Ah Li and no longer go out to cause trouble. But just being bored at home is not a problem. It happens that mother has an invitation here, so you take Ah Li to the banquet. Wan Wan We can’t let her suffer, you know?”
Ling Li nodded helplessly, listening casually to his mother's instructions in his ear. He opened the invitation and glanced at it, his expression suddenly stern.
Qiu Meng noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, son? Is there something wrong with this invitation?"
"No no."
Ling Li reacted and sneered quickly, "Mom, you also know that the child seems to have a relationship with the host of the banquet..."
After saying this, he raised the invitation in his hand. Su Li vaguely saw the words Dongfang Jade Smoke flashing on it, and an unknown meaning immediately flashed across his face.
When Qiu Meng heard this, his face immediately darkened. He glanced at Su Li secretly and saw that she was confused. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered angrily: "You have a family now. You used to be that ridiculous book." Don't let this happen again! Fortunately, the fourth princess is also married, so the past things should not matter anymore, so you can take Su Li and go with peace of mind."
Do not care
Ling Li smiled bitterly. He didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't refuse. He agreed with a grimace.
Seeing his son nodding, Qiu Meng left with satisfaction, thinking that he could finally feel proud in front of those talkative women! As for how to deal with tomorrow's banquet, it's up to the juniors to figure it out themselves.
The dishes and chopsticks were cleared away by the servants. Ling Li took the invitation and returned to the east courtyard with Su Li. His expression returned to calmness, and a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes. The host who organized the banquet was none other than the fourth princess of the royal family, Dongfang Yuyan!
Su Li gently picked up the invitation that Ling Li put on the table, opened it, and said in a calm and sweet voice: "The fourth princess invites all the couples in Yunjing city who have been married for less than a year to gather together. Although the reason is enough, the time is not. Coincidentally, it was placed on the day after you and I got married."
Speaking of this, Su Li looked slightly cold and laughed softly: "Dongfang Xiao is really suspicious."
Ling Li nodded in agreement. The so-called purpose of the banquet was not as simple as his mother thought. It was clearly a test arranged by Dongfang Xiao.
"Speaking of which, what happened between you and Dongfang Yuyan back then?"
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Su Li suddenly asked. Ling Li took a breath, and a trace of embarrassment immediately flashed across his face, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Li's expression did not change at all. He just shook his head and sneered: "That's all, I'm not interested in knowing about your rotten peach blossom history. Don't make any mistakes tomorrow."
After saying that, Su Li left the study and quickly disappeared into the night.
Ling Li stood by the table, looking out the window at the thick night in a daze. He didn't know how long it took before he took a breath and came back to his senses, his eyes regaining clarity.
Turning the wheelchair to the wing, Ling Li didn't see Su Li's figure. He couldn't help but wonder, where else could Su Li go at this time
At this time, a nanny Li carrying a bucket passed by the house. Seeing that the young master seemed to be looking for something, she couldn't help but said: "Uncle, are you looking for madam? Madam is taking a bath in the back hall. If you are now In the past... we could still catch up."
What can you catch up with
Ling Li was stunned, and when he saw Grandma Li's meaningful smile, his face immediately turned red, so hot that he could almost spread out the sesame cake.
"Pfft!"
Grandma Li couldn't help laughing, and left quickly with the bucket. My uncle was still too thin-skinned, so where did he go
Naturally, it was impossible for Ling Li to go to the back hall, otherwise he could foresee his fate, which would probably be blasted out by Su Li with a palm. He managed to maintain the current situation, and he did not want his image in Su Li's heart to continue to deteriorate.
After going to the bathhouse on the other side for a rough rinse, Ling Li returned to the wing and waited for a long time before Su Li returned.
Before anyone sees it, a touch of fragrant wind has already drifted into the nose.
Her delicate and beautiful face showed its perfect outline under the moonlight. The white gauze dress was blown up by the night wind, and the exposed white skin was still steaming. It was like the mysterious goddess from the Nine Heavens descending to earth, unstained by the dust of the world, as if the next moment It's about to drift away.
Such a smart and beautiful woman is now his wife...
Such thoughts flashed through Ling Li's mind, and he became obsessed with it for a moment.
Sudden
call!
The white shadow flashed past Ling Li's eyes very quickly, and the wooden doors on both sides of the inner room were closed tightly. Then he heard a crisp sound of the door bolt being clicked. Ling Li woke up and was dumbfounded.
Su Li locked the door? !
"Husband, no one will make trouble in the wedding ceremony today. From now on, I can only force my husband to rest in the guest room. Don't worry, this hard time will not last long. When the crisis is over, I can just divorce my slave."
Su Li's voice came from the door, as if she felt that this trip was not moral, and her tone was very soft, but no matter how Ling Li listened, she felt that there was a hint of gloating in this voice.
"What a fairy..."
Ling Li felt angry. He was also a man, let alone facing the woman he loved. How could he not react? He could see but not eat her. This was the most painful thing.
There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.
squeak
There was a soft knock on the door, and Su Li walked out of the inner room. She was fully dressed, with a rosy complexion and full of energy. She seemed to have had a good sleep.
This sound woke up Ling Li, who had been tossing and turning for nearly a night, and had only slept in his clothes in the morning. He accidentally fell off the wicker chair.
"Hiss..."
Ling Li took a breath and looked at Su Li's half-smiling expression, his face turned dark.
His cultivation is so advanced that he won't feel tired even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights. It's just that last night... was too torturous and consumed more energy and energy than three days and three nights could, so that he is now slightly mentally and physically exhausted. feel.
At this moment, Nanny Li opened the door and walked in with the toiletries. She saw that the two of them had already gotten up early in the morning. It seemed that they were having an quarrel. She didn't say much, and only gave her a thoughtful look. The bed was messy, and he snickered and turned around to go out.
The maids in the wing room of the east courtyard were all arranged by Qiu Meng. In order to prevent Ling Li's actions from being exposed, Su Li had already ordered everyone to wash their hands in the morning and have Nanny Li, an insider, be responsible for it, which saved a lot of trouble.
Washing and tying their hair ended in an awkward and harmonious weird atmosphere. After the two had breakfast, they got into the carriage and left, apparently taking only Ling Mo and Yun Yi as their escorts.
The carriage with the Ling family's mark passed through two streets and then entered the controlled street where only the royal family was qualified to walk. However, it went smoothly all the way and finally stopped at a large royal courtyard.
"Master, Madam, we are here."
The voice of Ling Mo driving the carriage came, and at the same time Yun Yi
He opened the car curtain, set up the skateboard, and waited for Su Li and Ling Li to dismount.
Su Li pushed the wheelchair out of the carriage and looked past a high wall with red walls and green tiles. On the tall and spacious door wall, there was a plaque with three big characters of dragons and phoenixes hanging on it.
Lingfeng Pavilion!
Her expression seemed relaxed, but there was a deep sense of caution in her eyes. This place was already an important place for the royal family, just one step away from the palace. If her and Ling Li's true identities were exposed here, they would not be able to escape.
"In the early years, this was Dongfang Yuyan's residence outside the courtyard. Later, Dongfang Yuyan hired a consort, and after some expansion, the place became the size it is today. The banquet courtyard alone can accommodate several people at the same time. Hundreds of people."
Ling Li's voice sounded in their ears, with a low tone. When they got here, they couldn't tolerate any sloppiness, and every step had to be carefully considered.
This trip is already considered dangerous, and no one can predict whether Dongfang Xiao will suddenly attack.
A simple person like Qiu Meng would probably not have thought of this aspect, otherwise even if he fell out with those noble ladies, he would definitely not let Ling Li take the risk.
At this moment, a group of palace maids and eunuchs came out from the porter, saluted Ling Li and the two of them and said, "Greetings to the prince, hello to the princess!"
There was a hint of pride in the corner of Ling Li's mouth, and he shouted loudly: "Madam, what are you looking at? It's almost time, let's go in!"
Su Li's eyes flashed slightly, as if he had just come back to his senses, a blush flashed across his face, and he said sheepishly: "This is my first time coming to the Royal Garden, and I made a fool of myself."
"Hehehe, even if I make a fool of myself, I'm still very pretty. What a... beauty!"
Su Li's face turned red again and she quickly pushed Ling Li into the hospital.
This conversation fell into the ears of the palace maids. Although they did not dare to show anything on their faces, they secretly despised it in their hearts. Even if they were as poor in literary talent as they knew that "beauty is good for dinner", the third young master of the Ling family could still mispronounce it!
The most talented woman in Yunjing City should marry a dandy with such vulgar behavior. It is really a waste of resources. I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor thinks.
The design of Lingfeng Pavilion was obviously made by everyone. Every step of the scenery calls itself a painting. It is just the right amount of beauty without being arrogant. From this, Su Li can also see that the princess she has never met is not very scheming and is not difficult to deal with. .
After pushing the wheelchair through the gravel path, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the lively chatter was heard. There were no less than thirty couples of beauties in the courtyard at the moment.
Many people also noticed the arrival of Su Li and the two of them. When they saw the "famous couple in the capital" appearing in front of them, everyone had different reactions, but they all started talking quietly in unison.
"She is Princess Li, and she truly deserves her reputation. Her eyebrows, eyes, and red lips are all just perfect, and her skin is as clear as gelatin. She deserves the title of No. 1 in Yunjing City!"
"Just tell me this, and don't mention it to your wife, otherwise I won't be blamed for the fire in the backyard, hahaha..."
"What a pity that such a fairy-like woman is married to a dandy!"
"What a dandy? He is obviously a waste. To say he is a dandy is to promote him!"
“…”
Ling Li's eyebrows twitched. With his strong ears, he could certainly hear every word of these words, but he still had to pretend that he didn't hear them. It was really frustrating.
Su Li had a faint smile on her face, and her clear eyes swept across the courtyard. Most of them were strangers. Before she could identify them one by one and compare them with the young masters and ladies in the intelligence, she heard an extremely surprised cry in her ears. .
