Seeing that Shi Fuqiu was still livid and silent, Xiao Yanjun ordered Lian Yan to make a cup of tea. He also took a few steps forward and said to Concubine Li: "Uncle, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. It’s my own family.”
Shi Fuqiu saw that he seemed to have no knowledge of what happened in the afternoon, and asked with a slightly gloomy expression: "Why did your family send a letter urging you to go back? Don't you know what it means?"
Xiao Yanjun was startled. Hearing Shi Fuqiu's words, this matter really had something to do with him, but he really didn't know, so he had to reply truthfully: "I really don't know yet. I was about to go back home to find out, so my uncle pulled me in." .”
Seeing that he didn't look like he was just pretending, Shi Fuqiu sighed and said, "Jiaying has grown up with you since childhood. Although you don't have many opportunities to see her in the palace, she has always treated you with kindness. thick."
Xiao Yanjun frowned slightly. He didn't know why Shi Fuqiu suddenly mentioned this matter, but he still nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if the seventh brother hadn't suddenly come, my cousin wouldn't have been trapped. Such a situation."
Shi Fuqiu looked at him and then turned to Concubine Li: "Although the marriage was brokered by the empress, no one could have expected it to develop into such a situation. Therefore, I don't blame the empress. It's just that the matter has come to this, and Jiaying is already prepared." I was humiliated. I was actually humiliated by your future daughter-in-law on the street this afternoon. If it weren’t for Si Nan’s protection, I don’t know what would have happened. I dare you to ask the empress and the prince, who should I settle this debt with?”
After hearing this, Concubine Li's originally smiling face gradually froze. Shi Jiaying would definitely please Aodengerirle if she wanted to enter Prince Yu's palace. If what Shi Fuqiu said was true, it could only be Aodengerir who started it. Yes, it's just that Shi Jiaying is too stupid. She can't please men, and she can't please women.
"It seems that Jun'er's return home is the same thing as what my brother mentioned. Why don't we let Jun'er go back first and find out why their daughter's family is arguing about it? How about I make the decision for Jiaying?" Concubine Li comforted Shi Fuqiu first, and then winked at Xiao Yanjun.
Xiao Yanjun was still kept in the dark about Shi Jiaying's thoughts, and he still felt incredible about what Shi Fuqiu said. Ever since Aodengerile entered the house, she was the only one who was charming, charming, and weak in front of him. The only time she was unhappy was when she saw him being verbally humiliated by Xia Chu and others on the Chinese Valentine's Day in the spring breeze.
Furthermore, in the past two days, Shi Jiaying often came to the mansion and chatted happily with Aodengerirle. It was really difficult for him to connect the person mentioned by Shi Fuqiu to Aodengerirle.
But even though he didn't believe it in his heart, when he saw Li Fei's eyes, he could only speak to comfort her first: "Uncle, you might as well not be angry for now. After I return home and understand the truth, I will make the decision for my cousin. What do you think?"
Shi Fuqiu saw the mother and son singing in harmony, and it was difficult to say anything at the moment. He then stood up, cupped his hands, turned around and left, bumping into Lian Yan who had just made tea and brought it to him.
"Uncle is coming to the palace in a hurry. Can you have a cup of tea before you go?" Xiao Yanjun said politely.
"I won't drink the tea. As for the explanation, I hope the empress and the prince won't keep me waiting for too long." Shi Fuqiu said and left.
Concubine Li watched his back disappear into the Jade Palace, then turned her gaze to Xiao Yanjun: "Why can't even a woman surrender?"
Xiao Yanjun looked embarrassed. He was not a womanizer. In his opinion, Aodengelile was just a chess piece for marriage. How much care could he take for a chess piece
In addition, Aodenge Rile behaved weakly and harmlessly in front of him.
Therefore, he never thought too much about it.
"My son, I'd better hurry up and go back and ask carefully before discussing with my mother." Xiao Yanjun saluted, Concubine Li waved to him, and he hurriedly retreated.
"Your Majesty, should we go to the Imperial Study Room to find the Emperor?" Lian Yan asked tentatively when she saw that Concubine Li looked unhappy.
Concubine Li looked at the gradually sinking sky outside the palace, and suddenly her mood waned. She turned around and walked towards the inner palace: "I won't go. When we pass by now, the emperor may have eaten all the food and unloaded it for me." The hairpin on your bun."
Lian Yan took two steps forward and comforted Concubine Li: "Your Majesty, you have dressed up so nicely today. Even if you don't go to see the Emperor, you can still go for a walk in the Imperial Garden by yourself."
Concubine Li stopped in front of the bronze mirror and smiled looking at the flower-like face in the bronze mirror. The beauty in the bronze mirror also smiled, her bright eyes and white teeth were pleasing to the eye: "Then I will follow your words and go to Royal Palace." Let’s take a walk in the garden.”
Lian Yan immediately accepted the order and went down to tell the maids to prepare drinks, snacks, fruits and vegetables for the lady to enjoy when she rested anywhere.
After everything was prepared, Li Fei was helped out of the Jade Palace and strolled toward the Imperial Garden.
While admiring the blooming flowers, Concubine Li sighed to herself: "I used to think that Jun'er was not good at women, which was a valuable advantage. But now it seems that he has been arrogant since he was a child and looks down on ordinary women. Naturally, he has I don’t know how to coax a woman, but now it’s become a bad thing.”
Lian Yan followed and replied thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, your beauty is unparalleled. Your Highness, Prince Yu, is so handsome because of your beauty. There is no need to coax the girl. I'm afraid that if you show your face and smile, the girl will run away on her own. Let's just let it go."
Concubine Li felt extremely comfortable with her words. She had been worried about too many things recently, and she didn't want to worry about such trivial matters. If Xiao Yanjun couldn't control a woman, if he succeeded to the throne in the future, So what if there are three thousand beauties in the harem
As she thought about it, she felt that her appetite had come. She had no appetite after being scolded by Shi Fuqiu Xingshi before, but now she felt hungry.
"I remember there is a lake pavilion in front of me, so let's have some meals there." Li Fei stretched out her hand and picked up a peony. Among all the flowers, she always preferred peonies.
Lian Yan responded yes and told the maid behind her to go to the front pavilion to get ready. Then she followed her. Seeing the peony in Concubine Li's hand, she flattered her: "This flower can be broken off by the empress, which is considered a blessing." It’s an honor.”
Concubine Li turned the peonies in her hands and was meditating on something until the maid sent to the pavilion in front came back in a hurry. She didn't know what she said to Lian Yan. Lian Yan stepped forward and persuaded her tactfully: "Your Majesty. , tonight the pavilion is facing the wind, how about we go to the octagonal pavilion next to the rockery to the west to have a meal?"
Only then did Concubine Li stop, stop twirling Peony's delicate fingers, raised her eyes and glanced at Lian Yan: "Why can't I go?"
Lian Yan had a troubled look on her face, pursed her lips and reported truthfully: "Of course you can go, but the Emperor and Concubine Lian are having dinner there right now..."
