"Su Li!"
This voice was very familiar. Su Li turned her head when she heard the sound, and a look of surprise rose between her eyebrows when she saw Qian Ying walking hurriedly.
"Gong Min, are you there?"
When she arrived in Qinghe County at the beginning of the year, thanks to Gong Xiangjun's help, her plan was launched. After Wu Yun's death, Gong Min and Gong Xiangjun were no longer in danger. She had not paid attention to the Gong family since she came to Yunjing. Unexpectedly, Gong Min had already I came to Yunjing and got married.
In a flash of thought, Gong Min had walked up to Su Li, and his eyes couldn't help but be excited to see his old friend. If Su Li hadn't stepped forward back then, both she and her grandma would have suffered. She will never be able to replace this kindness in her lifetime.
"Su Li, after grandma and I came to Yunjing City, the Wu family suddenly retreated for some reason. Grandma had a high prestige and was able to regain control of the Gong family. Unfortunately, at the level of my family, I am not qualified to find you. Grandma knows After your identity, I was prohibited from contacting you until today!"
Gong Min spoke very quickly, and his words naturally revealed his sincerity, "It's so great to meet you!"
Su Li smiled slightly. She could see that Gong Min's sincerity was not fake, and she could also understand Gong Xiangjun. The Gong family was in dire straits and could not withstand the tossing of wind and waves. What's more, the whirlpool she was trapped in now was not as simple as a big storm. .
"It's a joy to see an old friend in a different place."
At this moment, a dignified-looking young man came over and stood next to Gong Min. He looked at Su Li with a look of admiration and envy, but not covetousness. "Min'er, I didn't expect you to know Li." Princess, why don’t you introduce it to me?”
As soon as these words came out, Gong Min was slightly startled, but the face of someone sitting in the wheelchair turned completely gloomy.
Princess Li
Not Mrs. Ling
Gong Min looked a little embarrassed and said reluctantly: "Mr. Ling, Ah Li, let me introduce to you. This is my husband."
The young man nodded lightly: "Zhao Xiyuan, I have met Princess Li and Mr. Ling. I have long heard that Princess Li has unparalleled talent and appearance. Now, although I don't know how talented and learned Princess Li is, I am really impressed by her appearance."
"A child of the Zhao family?" Ling Li's eyes were filled with anger and his voice was low: "But son of the minister, who gave you the courage to stand on equal terms in front of this king?"
Zhao Xiyuan's expression changed slightly, but he never showed any fear. Instead, he said in a cold voice: "Min'er, take Su Li to the table first. I want to have a good chat with Third Young Master Ling."
Gong Min looked worried in his eyes, glanced at Su Li, and finally sighed and said in a low voice: "Su Li, I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Su Li shook his head slightly, took a deep look at Ling Li, then turned and left with Gong Min, leaving only two people in the field.
Zhao Xiyuan put one hand behind his back and stood upright. The anger in his eyes was even more intense than that of Ling Li. Marriage, marrying Princess Li by extraordinary means is not something a man can do!"
Ling Li raised his brows, leaned on the wheelchair with both hands, and stared into Zhao Xiyuan's clear pupils. After a moment, he suddenly grinned and said, "That's what I did. What do you think of you, the son of a little servant?"
"… you!"
Zhao Xiyuan didn't expect Ling Li to admit it directly and be so arrogant. He couldn't help but get angry. His face turned livid and he cursed: "Ling Li, you are really a bastard!"
"Whether this king is a bastard or not, it's not up to you to decide." Ling Li took out the
He picked his ears and said, "You should be lucky that you married a good wife, otherwise it would just be the Zhao family, haha..."
The threat in Ling Li's words couldn't be more obvious. Even if Zhao Xiyuan was magnanimous and full of justice and wanted to save Su Li, he had to be cautious at this moment.
Feeling aggrieved, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he sneered: "Third Young Master Ling is really as lawless as the rumors, I have seen it today. However, just because I can't do anything to you, doesn't mean that everyone can't do anything. Let’s see!”
The conversation ended unhappily under Ling Li's deliberate guidance.
After Zhao Xiyuan left, there was no one else around Ling Li except Ling Mo. He looked around and saw no sign of Su Li, a flash of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Xiyuan is really good-natured, but it's a pity that he was used as a weapon. The Wu family and the Ma family are in a very delicate situation right now. Ma Jintian and Wu Jin are not married yet. Does anyone want to deal with him here? Who is the one…
"Master, the banquet is about to begin. Madam has already gone to the main hall."
Ling Mo whispered in his ear, Ling Li immediately came back to his senses, waved his hand and said: "Let's go in too."
At this moment, on the other side of the courtyard, Zhao Xiyuan stood in front of a handsome young man in golden robes, and said bitterly: "Your Highness, that Ling Li is indeed as bad-tempered and arrogant as the rumors say! Not only did he bluntly admit those despicable What he did, he even threatened me! Do you really think that no one in Dahan Country can control him!"
The young man in golden robe had bright eyes and a calm expression. When he heard what Zhao Xiyuan said, a smile as friendly as the sun appeared on his face, and he said harmoniously: "Xiyuan, I know you hate evil and look at Ling Li like this. I'm not used to it, but he is a member of the Ling family after all. As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, not even me, even my father can't touch him easily. Don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, I will not let this cancer run rampant in Yunjing. Presumptuous."
When Zhao Xiyuan heard this, his expression relaxed and he said excitedly: "Your Highness is wise, I believe this day will not be too far away."
"hehe… "
The young man in golden robe showed his face and smiled softly, "The situation is not yet clear, so it is better to say less. Xiyuan, you are a person I value. You have unique insights in literature, military strategy, and the governance of the country and the people. No matter who wins in the end, I hope you can really use these for the people."
Listening to the heartfelt words of the young man in golden robe, Zhao Xiyuan's heart was agitated, his eyes turned slightly red, and he said excitedly: "It is the right way for Dahan State to have you take charge of the ceremony. I believe that Your Majesty will definitely make the most correct choice!"
The young man in golden robe laughed lightly, without comment, and changed the subject and said: "That's all, you go to the banquet first, don't keep your siblings waiting, I will come later."
"Then take my leave, little brother."
Zhao Xiyuan came with a livid face, and left with a happy face. The grievances Ling Li brought to him had been invisibly resolved by the golden-robed young man. How could a mere dandy prince compare to the future princess? If His Highness can really ascend the throne, then Ling Li Li Ke will never be as comfortable as now!
Watching Zhao Xiyuan leave, the smile on the young man's face quickly faded and turned into deep doubt.
Doesn't he still know whether Ling Li got married by begging his father? He is the only prince who can move outside now.
This person is the only fifth prince among the royal family to benefit from the auction house at the end of the year, Dongfang Yang!
"Ling Li actually admitted directly. Is it because he has too many lice and is too lazy to explain, or is it something else... What is the purpose of Father asking us to test Ling Li this time?"
Various thoughts passed through Dongfang Yang's mind.
He really couldn't figure out why his father suddenly gave him such a strange order. However, this is a good opportunity for him to perform.
"The fourth sister suddenly held a banquet. She must have received the order from the emperor. The eighth sister actually came too. Is it possible..."
Dongfang Yang's eyes flashed. Among the descendants of the royal family, the threat from other princes is no longer great to him. Even the eldest prince is under house arrest by his father and cannot move around in the palace. The eldest sister is married to a small country, and the second sister has been missing for many years. My sister is still young, and the only person who can be called a threat is my fourth sister. Although his father will definitely consider the prince first when passing on the throne, he cannot capsize in the gutter. He must do his best before his father can establish the right to the throne!
…
Su Li and Gong Min came to the banquet together, which immediately attracted the attention of many men and women. Su Li's appearance was no longer a secret in Yunjing City. During the few months when he was teaching at the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, some people were painting in private, hoping to bring Su Li to life. Li's perfect appearance is copied in the scroll.
In the end, of course, it was a failure, but the person who wrote it had some skill and was able to portray a certain charm. As soon as the scroll came out, people rushed to buy it. Finally, it was bought by a mysterious person. Su in the portrait Li is naturally remembered by many people.
Although the banquet of the four princesses has fewer rules, the distance between the seats still represents the distinction between high and low status. Su Li is the daughter of the prince, and now that she is the princess of the county, the seat is naturally at the front. Gong Min is not qualified to sit here. We can only separate from Su Li temporarily.
As soon as Su Li sat down, someone wanted to come over and strike up a conversation. However, Ling Li with a playful face appeared in time and immediately put an end to all thoughts that were about to move.
Seeing this, Ling Li not only didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed, but actually laughed and said, "Madam, although your husband's name is not pleasant, isn't it just to save you trouble? Otherwise, these talented people will shamelessly come around to harass you. quiet!"
Ling Li's voice didn't mean to lower it at all. Many young masters present at the table could hear clearly. For a moment, their faces turned black. They dared not speak in anger, but they all looked at Su Li, wanting to see. How should this beautiful lady who is famous all over Yunjing deal with this
Su Li smiled slightly, nodded tepidly and said, "My husband is right."
As soon as these words came out, many people were dumbfounded. A lady from a well-known family felt a little relieved when she saw this scene, and she smiled eccentrically: "Husband, didn't you say that Princess Li is pure and pure, and she will definitely not succumb to the lustful power of the Ling family? Why do I seem to be a bit like a husband and a wife?"
"this… "
Many people opened their mouths and didn't know how to refute for a while. Su Li was indeed the goddess in the hearts of many talents in Yunjing City, but the performance of their goddess now really disappointed them.
"Hmph! What do you ordinary people who only look at the surface know? It's because Princess Li doesn't care about Ling Li at all. She can be calm and calm in the face of a playboy like Ling Li. It's hard even for us to do that, right?! "
Zhao Xiyuan spoke in a cold voice, which immediately attracted the approval of many people. The lady who had just spoken rudely was about to refute, when suddenly someone saw Su Li turning her head and glanced at Zhao Xiyuan. Although her expression was indifferent and did not show much emotion, it did not hinder her. They interpreted it as gratitude.
"Princess Li has come to look at it. Zhao Xiyuan is indeed right. He deserves to be the first in the last liberal arts academy!"
Everyone was amazed, and the young lady had to swallow her words. She was so angry that she secretly stamped her feet and looked at Su Li with even more disgust.
While everyone was still talking endlessly about Su Li, there was finally movement in the royal seats on the steps.
