Su Qin involuntarily took two steps back, while Li Yao opened her eyes wide in surprise and shouted softly: "King Jing'an
! "
The visitors were none other than Dongfang Zhuo and his two personal guards.
He jumped off the horse and threw the whip to Wang An behind him. He stood in front of Su Li with a graceful figure, his proud and proud expression seemed to say, let's see where you are hiding!
Su Li frowned unconsciously, why did he chase her here? Having Su Qin was enough to upset her, and now there was Dongfang Zhuo! No matter how reluctant she was, she had to bow as usual.
"I've met King Jing'an!"
The people below were kneeling on the ground. Dongfang Zhuo didn't even look at those people. He stared at Su Li with his handsome eyes. During the concubine selection banquet, her hesitation and the husband selection banquet had already made him very unhappy. These days, she avoided seeing him, which made him very dissatisfied and even angry. If it weren't for the fact that she had the same attitude towards Dongfang Ze, he would never be so easy to dismiss. Although I really wanted to see her, when I saw her, I could not help but feel resentment in my heart, but I just suppressed it and said: "Get up. I came uninvited, Miss Su won't blame me!"
Su Li said calmly: "Su Li doesn't dare. Your Majesty, please."
He strode towards the village, and the butler Su Hu quickly went to greet him. As soon as the group of people entered the courtyard, Dongfang Zhuo suddenly stopped for some reason. His face instantly darkened, terrifyingly gloomy. When he turned around, he glared at Su Li fiercely. Perhaps even three miles away, his anger could be felt.
Su Li was stared at inexplicably. She raised her head and glanced into the yard, and was stunned.
The well-maintained courtyard is equipped with jade, flowers and plants. Beside the low wall near the lake, a man stands under the wisteria trellis with his hands behind his hands. The white clothes and black hair have faded away from the usual flashy and noble atmosphere, as if they have been baptized by the pure and spiritual atmosphere of this place. The whole person looks elegant and elegant, different from the ordinary. At this moment, he was looking at the petals floating in the lake in a daze, as if he had never felt the gaze behind him.
Until Su Qin came to her senses from the daze and shouted with obsession: "King Zhenning!"
Su Li frowned, feeling secretly annoyed. I wanted to avoid these two people, but I didn't expect that they got together!
Dongfang Ze turned around lightly, his eyes touched Dongfang Zhuo who was standing at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled slowly: "I was thinking last night that it would be boring for me to enjoy such beautiful scenery alone. Unexpectedly, today, Su Su and Er The imperial brothers are actually here! Second emperor brother, please!"
He raised his hand in a gesture of invitation. His movements were very natural, as if he were entertaining guests at his own home.
.
Dongfang Zhuo said coldly: "Brother Sixth Emperor is so excited! You and I are both guests here, so I won't bother you to invite me! Su Li, please lead the way for me." After saying that, he turned back to stare at Su Li with a cold look, It was as if his woman was dating other men behind his back, her eyes filled with endless anger and murderous intent.
The people around him could hardly help but take a step back, but Su Li met his gaze, raised his head and glanced at him lightly, laughing softly: "Thanks to the great love of the prince, Su Li should have led the way for the prince immediately, but... I am very sorry, Although this is the property of the Su family, Su Li, like the prince, is here for the first time and is not familiar with everything in the villa, so why not let my sister do it for me."
Su Qin widened her eyes and shouted: "Why me?! Me, I'm not familiar with... the housekeeper!" Su Qin winked at the housekeeper desperately. Ever since she broke the Fuyun Bead that time, she would be scared when she saw Dongfang Zhuo.
Dongfang Zhuo encountered a soft spot with Su Li and was already very depressed. Now that he saw Su Qin avoiding him like the plague, he couldn't help but feel angry and his face became even more ugly. If someone had dared to treat him so lightly before, he would have turned around and left without hesitation. However, at this moment, looking at the woman in front of him, he could only endure it again and again. He had no other choice but to stare at her fiercely.
Su Li stood there calmly. As the master, it was natural for her to accompany him to his room to settle down. It didn't matter whether she was familiar with the servant or not. However, what she hated the most was his current expression, as if she owed him a lot. In fact, what he owed her could never be repaid in his lifetime. Moreover, the situation has changed now. Don't say that Dongfang Ze was not the one she dated. Even if he was, he had no right to interfere with her or accuse her!
"Prince Jing'an, please come this way..." Su Hu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. This was the third time he asked, but the noble prince had no intention of raising his feet.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Except for Su Li and Dongfang Ze, no one else dared to say a word.
Dongfangze seemed to find this scene very interesting, and couldn't help but smile at her. He lazily walked to the soft chair beside him and sat down, looking at this side with the calmness of watching a play, as if he was worried about the stalemate. I am very interested in who of the two will win in the end.
Su Li felt a little unhappy and didn't want to give him a chance to watch the show, so he smiled and said: "Butler, when the brothers King Jing'an and King Zhenning meet, they may have something to say. Let's all step back. You can leave one person to wait on you. Wait. The prince wants to go back to his room now, so just ask someone to lead him there. The two princes will chat slowly, and Su Li won't disturb you!" After that, regardless of the expressions of Dongfang Ze and Dongfang Zhuo, she bowed out and left. Su Bi and Li Yao followed naturally and threw Dongfang Zhuo, who was on the edge of anger, to Dongfang Ze, who looked calm.
.
Looking at the swiftly disappearing figure, the corner of Dongfangze's mouth twitched slightly, while Dongfang Zhuo was filled with anger and had no way to vent, and only felt helpless. He didn't know why he was so tolerant of her
"Sister Su, will something happen?" Li Yao asked worriedly as she left the middle courtyard.
Su Li affirmed: "With King Zhenning here, nothing will happen." As long as Dongfang Ze wants to continue living here, he will not allow anything to happen.
Li Yao was still not at ease and looked back. At this moment, Dongfang Zhuo was still standing in the same place, his eyebrows furrowed, looking at Su Li's back, his eyes almost bursting with fire. Li Yao frowned slightly, turned around and said in confusion: "Sister Su, you don't seem to like King Jing'an very much?"
Su Li said: "Does Yao'er think there's anything worthy of liking in him?"
Li Yao's eyes were shocked, she lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "How could Yao'er know? It's so strange for my sister to ask."
In fact, Su Li just asked casually and didn't think much about it. He didn't expect Li Yao to have such a reaction. She suddenly remembered that her father had intended to betroth Yao'er to Dongfang Zhuo. She looked up at Li Yao and found that her face was a little unnatural. She then recalled that the first time she met Yao'er after her rebirth was on Dongfang Zhuo's boat. Looking at her His attitude towards Dongfang Zhuo was not perfunctory. Could it be that this girl is attracted to Dongfang Zhuo...
Su Li was slightly shocked, stopped and looked at her, "Yao'er, you..."
She suddenly didn't know what to say. At this moment, she just felt that her beloved sister couldn't like a man like Dongfang Zhuo!
Li Yao saw her frowning and hesitated to speak, as if she realized what she was going to say, her eyes suddenly changed, and she laughed and said: "Sister Su, don't worry, Yao'er is not blessed to be a princess, but seeing her sister with this I'm naturally happy for this unexpected encounter. I'm just curious. My sister doesn't seem to like King Jing'an and is very cold to King Zhenning. So who will my sister choose at the husband selection banquet? "
Su Li breathed a sigh of relief silently, shook her head and said with a smile, "I don't know now."
If she could, she wouldn't choose either one. There are still more than two months to think about countermeasures.
Su Li's room was arranged in Nanyuan, a separate building with lotus flowers in the front and bamboo groves in the back. It had windows on both sides, making it transparent from the north to the south and very cool. It is only separated from Dongfang Ze and Dongfang Zhuo's residence by a covered corridor, which is the best location. Su Qin protested for this, but the housekeeper Su Hu said that it was the Prime Minister's instructions. Due to the title of Princess Su Li, Su Qin had to stay in the Xiyuan guest room with Li Yao in depression.
.
Everyone went back to their rooms to freshen up and rest, and soon it was dinner time. Su Li didn't want to go to the front yard anymore, but Su Hu came to invite her several times, saying that everyone was waiting for her to eat. She hesitated again and again, thinking that there shouldn't be more trouble, so she took Go with Moxiang. ()
In the wooden flower hall open on three sides, Dongfang Ze and Dongfang Zhuo were already waiting there. Su Qin and Li Yao also arrived early. Only Su Li arrived late. So as soon as she appeared, all eyes were focused on her.
There were obviously a total of five people dining, but there were six chairs at the dining table. The two Dongfangze brothers sat at the top with high status. Su Qin and Li Yao did not have any title, so they could only sit near the bottom. The remaining two seats were next to each other. One is looking at Dongfang Ze, the other is close to Dongfang Zhuo, both of them are staring at her, as if to say: Where are you sitting? !
Su Li frowned and saluted first: "I'm sorry, Su Li kept everyone waiting for so long!" After saying that, he walked to the empty seat between Li Yao and Su Qin and said to the servant: "Bring me a chair."
The two men above raised their eyebrows at the same time and glanced at each other lightly. Dongfang Zhuo's face was still dark, obviously he was still worried about what happened in the morning. Seeing Su Li sit down, he said coldly: "I thought this meal was going to be moved to your room!"
Su Li knew that this was the limit of Dongfang Zhuo's patience, and she was not a person who didn't understand propriety at all, so she stood up and apologized: "King Jing'an, please calm down. Su Li didn't mean to be late. It's just because of his body..." She lowered her head gently. Sighing, Dongfang Zhuo immediately frowned. Looking at her face that had always been pale, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated, replaced by heartache that he couldn't control.
"Are you still not feeling better after a day of rest? Can you ask a doctor to take a look?" Dongfangze asked with concern.
Su Li said: "No need, I was really uncomfortable just now, but now I'm much better. Thank you King Zhenning for your concern!"
"Susu, why should you be polite to me?" Dongfang Ze picked up the tea cup and smiled at her. The smile was extremely elegant, with a bit of intoxicating tenderness, and was indescribably captivating.
Su Qin was completely obsessed with it. If she could have such a smile from King Zhenning in her life, she could do anything!
Su Li's heart beat uncontrollably. This Dongfangze deliberately showed this smile to her in front of Dongfang Zhuo. Was he afraid that the meal would be too peaceful? She couldn't help but frown, and a murderous look came over her. She pretended not to notice, sat down with her eyes lowered, and asked the butler to serve the food.
.
Before the food was served, Dongfang Zhuo had already drank several glasses of wine. His face became increasingly ugly, and Li Yao couldn't help but advise: "Drinking on an empty stomach can easily harm your body. King Jing'an should wait."
Dongfang Zhuo ignored her and still ordered people to pour wine. Su Li didn't want to care about him, but she was afraid that he would cause trouble if he drank too much, so she had to stand up and come to him, took the wine bottle from the servant's hand and put it aside, and whispered: "Yao'er is right. Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is harmful to your health. King Jing'an..."
"Are you concerned about me?" Before she could finish speaking, Dongfang Zhuo had already interrupted and raised his head to ask. The previous anger was gone from his face, and his eyes were burning.
Su Li was stunned for a moment, then stared with a smile and said: "Prince Jing'an can understand it this way. The prince has a distinguished status and is an honored guest that our Su family cannot even invite. As the master, Su Li should care about..."
"Don't say those high-sounding words to me! I don't want to hear it!" Dongfang Zhuo cut off coldly. The expectation flowing in his handsome eyes was shattered by her cold words. A trace of painful struggle was hidden deeply, and he could not bear it. Control emerged, and he quickly lowered his head, clenched his fists, and suddenly pulled her to sit down beside him.
The irresistible strength and posture made Su Li feel a little unhappy. Before she could say anything, Dongfang Zhuo had already ordered: "Remove those two chairs."
The servant was stunned for a moment, glanced at Su Li secretly, and then looked at Dongfang Ze, who was smiling slightly, with some hesitation.
It was this brief hesitation that angered Dongfang Zhuo. Even the servants dared not to take his orders seriously. Dongfang Zhuo's face darkened. Without even looking, he raised his hand and waved a palm. A strong wind passed by with anger. No one could turn back. God, there was only a loud "bang" sound, and the chair next to Dongfangze suddenly fell into pieces and disappeared in the blink of an eye, not even a scrap could be found.
Everyone was shocked!
I can't imagine that if that palm hits a person, the flesh and blood will be scattered and no bones will be left... The legendary King Jing'an has a violent temper, and it is really terrifying when he gets angry!
Su Qin was so frightened that her body trembled, Li Yao's face turned pale, and the servants waiting around him had their legs trembling and fell to their knees.
Cold sweat fell like a waterfall, hitting the stone slabs, making a ticking sound.
It was deathly silent.
Su Li couldn't help but frown and wanted to take back her hand, but it was held tightly by him and she couldn't move at all.
. She looked up at Dongfang Zhuo, and he was staring at her now, his eyes warning and as cold as ice. The anger that had been accumulated all day finally came out. This palm that could break the bones was not only a warning to the servants, but also a warning to her and Dongfang Ze.
Su Li's heart sank, and a surge of anger suddenly surged up from the bottom of her heart, which was almost uncontrollable.
At this time, Dongfang Ze suddenly smiled and said: "If the servant does not do well, the Second Emperor Brother can just reprimand him, why should he be so angry? It's a pity for a good chair!"
Dongfang Zhuo glanced at him coldly and snorted disdainfully: "When will the Sixth Emperor feel sorry for a chair? This is my temper. I can't compare to the Sixth Emperor who is so versatile and scheming!"
Even Su Qin could clearly hear the deep sarcasm in the words, and everyone became nervous.
Dongfang Ze didn't seem to notice, and just said lightly like a compliment: "Brother Second Emperor is so complimentary! Su Su, why don't people remove that chair? If you make Brother Second Emperor lose his temper again, I'm afraid this meal will be ruined." No need to eat anymore!”
Su Li didn't respond, but the person kneeling below finally reacted and hurriedly stood up to remove the last empty chair.
Dongfang Ze added: "In the final analysis, it's just a chair. Su Su can sit wherever she likes. Second Emperor Brother doesn't have to be so serious, right?"
Listening to him shouting Susu so affectionately, Dongfang Zhuo's heart felt as if someone had squeezed it tightly, and it felt tight. He turned to look at the woman next to him. She lowered her eyebrows and looked indifferent. She was obviously sitting next to him, but she seemed to be separated from him by thousands of mountains and rivers. This awareness caused his hand to involuntarily increase its strength, holding her hand firmly in his palm, as if he wanted to hold the most important thing in his life that had long since passed.
The bones seemed to be crushed. Su Li frowned in pain, wanting to use her inner strength to shake him away, but she held back.
Dongfang Zhuo said: "Brother Sixth Emperor, don't underestimate this chair, it represents a person's position! Su..." He wanted to call her by her nickname, but the word "Su Su" could not be fully uttered. His heart seemed to be tugged hard by something, and the pain made him choke on his breath. He changed his words and said: "Li'er's position should be next to me, so this chair is enough. Any extra chair will only be an eyesore."
Using a chair as a metaphor for a person, there is something hidden in the words and a hidden edge.
Dongfang Ze's expression remained unchanged, his eyes turned to Su Li, the smile on his lips was still there, but his eyes were already cold.
There was no expression on Su Li's face at this moment.
. I wonder where the man around her got his confidence. Why do you think he can control her position and life
Li'er? ! Sure enough, they were two brothers who called people by nicknames so abruptly without permission, and Dongfang Zhuo chose "Li'er" instead of "Su Su". Does he know the reason? Her heart suddenly felt cold. She raised her head and said with a smile: "King Jing'an seems to be thinking too much! This is just an ordinary dinner. The chair I am sitting on is just an ordinary chair. It does not represent anything, but it represents nothing." No, my future position in life!”
She pulled her hand back hard, her skin turned blue and white, and her whole hand was numb, but she couldn't feel the pain.
Dongfang Zhuo was slightly startled. The woman in front of him was clearly smiling at him, but he felt the bone-chilling indifference coming out of her heart, wrapping him tightly. A flash of pain flashed across his eyes, Dongfang Zhuo's chiseled lips pressed tightly, and he didn't make any sound for a while.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the aroma of food gradually rose into the air. Unknowingly, a table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.
No one moved their chopsticks.
The housekeeper Su Hu was sweating. He thought about it again and again, and stepped forward to remind him at the risk of death: "Please use it while it's hot, two princes."
Dongfang Zhuo and Su Li looked away at the same time, and everyone around them raised their sleeves to wipe their sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Dongfangze pointed to the last plate of food served as if nothing had happened and asked curiously: "What is this?"
The red leaves, green paths and white roots have a strange shape, placed on a silver plate, like an orchid or a crane.
Su Hu was about to answer when Su Qin glared back. Finally getting a chance to talk, how could Su Qin miss it? She hurriedly opened her smile and smiled softly at Dongfangze and said: "Back to your lord, this is a wild vegetable unique to Zhuli Valley. It's delicious! My mother likes it the most. It’s indispensable every time I come.”
"Yes," Su Hu said with a respectful smile, "Originally, this dish was specially prepared for Madam, but I didn't expect that Madam didn't come. I originally thought that this dish that is not suitable for the table should not be served in front of these distinguished guests. , but then I thought about it, this kind of wild vegetables has a cooling effect and is most suitable for summer consumption... The two princes have grown up in the palace and have noble status. They have never eaten anything good. Maybe they will like this refreshing taste. Yeah! So I made my own decision and asked someone to bring it to me. If the prince doesn’t like it, I will ask someone to remove it." He said that he was about to recruit someone to remove this wild vegetable.
At this moment, Dongfang Zhuo stretched out his chopsticks, took one and put it into his mouth. Su Hu waited nervously for his reaction, but Dongfang Zhuo had no intention of commenting.
. But judging from his face, it shouldn't be too bad.
Li Yao took a bite and immediately nodded and praised: "Hmm... it tastes very good! Sister Su, you should try it too."
After Su Li tasted it, she felt that it was indeed good. It was tender and refreshing, with a light sweet taste. As the housekeeper said, it was very suitable for summer consumption. She couldn't help but take a few more bites. Everyone also stretched out their chopsticks one after another. After a while, the other dishes were not touched yet, and this one had already reached the bottom.
Seeing that Dongfang Ze liked it, Su Qin quickly asked Su Hu to prepare another one and send it over, placed it in front of him personally, and then took the opportunity to toast to him. Anyone can see the immortal thoughts.
Dongfangze didn't refuse, took the wine glass, finished drinking and looked at Su Li. Su Li knew that he couldn't hide, so he simply stood up and saluted in a circle.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table relaxed slightly, and everyone gradually started talking more and more. Especially Su Qin.
I don't know who suddenly mentioned the dance at the concubine selection banquet. Su Qin immediately stood up and asked: "Sister, I never understand, where did you learn that dance? When did you learn it? Why didn't I do that? Do not know at all?"
Su Li said: "Because my sister doesn't care, I don't know." With a pun, she smiled faintly, avoiding the important and taking the easy.
Su Qin glared at her angrily, and just about to retort, Su Li noticed that Li Yao suddenly lowered her head sadly for some reason. He couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong with Yao'er?"
Li Yao looked up at her, as if remembering something sad, her eyes were red with tears in her eyes, she shook her head and choked: "I... I'm fine, I just... suddenly thought of my sister." Two lines of tears flowed out uncontrollably. Eye sockets.
Su Li felt a pain in her heart, remembering that she had danced in front of Li Yao before. Although it is not a phoenix flying, it will inevitably make people think of it.
"I have heard that Princess Mingyu is good at dancing. Her dancing posture is graceful and as pure as an immortal. It's a pity that her youth passed away so early. It's really a pity." Dongfang Ze sighed softly and looked at Su Li unconsciously. Su Li's heart hurt, and she quickly lowered her eyelashes, hiding all her emotions under her long eyelashes. Dongfang Ze looked at Dongfang Zhuo again and said with a meaningful smile: "If Princess Mingyu is still alive... Second Emperor Brother, who do you think is better between her and Su Su?"
In an instant, Dongfang Zhuo's face suddenly turned pale due to the deep pain in his heart.
