Even if Prince Li was not a scheming man, he could see the evil intention behind the Queen Mother's words.
Sure enough, he saw a person coming out from behind the screen, with a thick flesh... No, staring at him coldly, "I'm fierce? Rude? Not pretty?"
One question after another exploded in Prince Li's ears.
Prince Li said slowly, "You are a little bit fierce, but you are not bullied, which is an advantage. You are a little rude, but it is better than a pretentious woman. You are not pretty, which is a pure false accusation. This is a matter of personal aesthetics. Look at you, your nose is a nose, your eyes are eyes, but your skin is a little dark. In my opinion, you are already very beautiful."
Princess Bei'an, A'man, the wife of Prince Li, was indeed not very pretty. From the aesthetic point of view of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was indeed not very pretty because of her dark skin. But in fact, her face shape and facial features were beautiful. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a great beauty.
Ah Man sneered, "So you're saving this wedding dress for marrying your second princess? If I had known you despised me for being infertile, I would have kept it. I'll go back to Bei'an tomorrow, so I don't have to stay here and have to face your face."
"This is impossible. How could I possibly look at your face?" In fact, he was the one who was always looking at her face, okay
The Queen Mother kindly comforted them, "Stop arguing and go back. I will borrow wedding clothes from other people."
Prince Li said in a reproachful tone, "Why are you looking for someone else? I already have some ready-made. Wedding clothes are only used once in a lifetime. It would be a waste to leave them unused. The Queen Mother can just send someone to the palace to get them."
The Queen Mother's eyebrows relaxed, "Third brother, don't force yourself. I can borrow from others. If that doesn't work, I can ask Ajie to wear the royal dynasty clothes or the regent dynasty clothes."
Prince Li glanced at Ah Man's fiery eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You must wear wedding clothes when you get married."
The Queen Mother then smiled and said, "Okay, Eunuch Sun, send someone to follow the prince back to get the wedding dress."
Ah Man bowed and said, "Mother, we are leaving now."
She glared at Prince Li fiercely and walked out first.
Prince Li bowed slowly and walked out with elegant steps. As soon as he reached the door, he turned a corner and ran away, shouting, "Wife, wait, wait for me."
The Queen Mother laughed, and Eunuch Sun said, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid the prince will hate you this time."
"It's okay. If I apologize to him properly later, he will forgive me. He is stubborn. If the other party apologizes and he doesn't forgive me, he will feel bad. It's hard for Ah Man to stand with a man of his temper."
"I think Prince Li and his wife are very loving," said Eunuch Sun.
"It's love. Although this marriage was originally a marriage of peace, the ancestor said that Ah Man was the one who surrendered to him. The third child grew up with the ancestor since he was a child, but he didn't learn any of the ancestor's mischievous temper. He became more serious."
As she spoke, she sighed softly, "The only pity is that Ah Man has not given birth yet. Concubine Jin has said to me several times that she wants to find him a concubine, but he disagrees and asked me to speak up for him. I will not do anything that would destroy the relationship between a couple."
Eunuch Sun said, "I wonder if the eldest lady is still alive, can she cure the princess's infertility?"
"I don't know. It's a pity that he is gone." The Queen Mother couldn't help but lament, "The seventh son is the most pitiful. I thought he could find someone who suits his heart. I just hope that the marriage that the ancestor has arranged will be with a good girl."
"The Empress Dowager has always had good taste."
The old queen dowager hummed, "What has your concubine been doing recently?"
Eunuch Sun said, "I haven't seen her come to the palace to pay respects these days."
"I hope her mentality has really changed as she said."
Eunuch Sun looked at her and said, "But Queen Mother, you don't believe it yourself, do you?"
The Queen Mother turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "I want to believe it, but I know her too well. She has been very strong since she was a child."
She sees things clearly, but hopes that everything will be fine.
After being in the harem for many years, I know that this idea is very naive, but what can I do? They are sisters.

Three days later.
The wedding took place as scheduled.
Murong Jie's side was easy to deal with, as he had already been convinced, but Zi'an was unwilling to wear the wedding dress.
But, obviously, the two old women had no intention of persuading her. The old aunt gave the order directly, "Why are you hesitating? Knock him out and throw him on the boat, tie him up and send him to the sedan chair."
Ah She casually swung a stick and walked towards Zi An. Zi An looked at the stick in his arm and said obediently, "I'm going to change my wedding dress."
Ah She turned around and glanced at the old aunt, "So well behaved?"
"If you can get a beating, stop talking nonsense." The old aunt turned around and released the pigeon. Then, a ship appeared where the sea and the sky met.
Zi'an already had a plan in his mind. He would just obey orders now and start implementing his escape plan when the boat returned to land.
The saddest thing was that her ring was taken away, leaving her with only a broken rope, and she didn't know what to do with it. She threw Scarface on the ground in disgust and went into the woods to change her clothes.
The scar rope was apparently useful, and was finally tied to her feet.
She was tied up and thrown onto the boat, and her intelligence was not as good as Long Zhanyan's shrewdness.
After getting on board, Zian was thrown into the cabin.
She sneered, "Do you think you can tie me up with a broken rope?"
She pulled out the dagger, which had not been confiscated, and could come in handy at this moment.
She had seen how sharp the dagger was, so cutting such a torn rope was a piece of cake.
However, after cutting for a while, Scar Rope showed no sign of breaking. Not only did it not break, it couldn't even be cut a little bit.
She was furious. What on earth was it made of? So tough.
She struggled and rubbed hard, but found that the more she struggled, the tighter Scarf tied her.
She began to realize that this torn rope was more than just a torn rope.
Ah She pushed the door open and came in, holding two fruits in his hand. Seeing that she was holding a dagger, he sneered, "Just save your energy. Scarcord is not something you can cut."
Zi'an said angrily, "How could you do this? Let me go."
"I will let you go when you get married. Why are you in such a hurry? If you fall in love with our fool, you will be too late to thank us." Ah She put the fruit on the ground, "Eat it. Only when you are full will you have the strength to escape."
Zi'an was indeed hungry, and in order to relax their defenses, he picked up the fruit and started eating.
Before she had taken two bites, she felt her head sinking and her whole body was spinning.
She looked at the fruit in her hand in shock. What kind of fruit was this? Was it poisonous
Before she fell to the ground, she saw the smug smile on Ah She's face, "Silly girl, you want to escape? That's impossible. We are not the cowards you dealt with before."
"My regards to your whole family!" Zi'an murmured and slowly closed his eyes.
