Chapter 127: Clear Snow Peach Blossoms
VIP chapter content,
The spring is cold, and there is a slight snow at night, and the originally bright and gorgeous peach blossoms are dyed with a light sorrow. www.biquge.info Li Shuci stood alone under the eaves of the corridor wearing a thick silver fox cloak and was dazed, so many things happened on this day, so that she was really indigestible, she felt exhausted, and she didn't want to move. I don't know how long it took, the chill finally spread into the fox fur, she turned around, wanted to go back to the house, but found that there was a long and jade figure in the originally empty courtyard.
"Lord Wang?" Li Shuci wanted to ask, why did the Lord come here. But when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, because she remembered that last time she said, 'The prince will naturally come whenever he wants'.
The Confucian King raised his chin slightly, signaling her to follow him into the house, the room was quiet, and the tea made by the girls was already cold, and the fragrance of tea was dispersed. Li Shuci was about to call someone over, but the Confucian King raised his hand to stop him: "No need, sit down." ”
Li Shuci sat down opposite him stiffly, "I don't know if the prince came to visit late at night, but what happened?"
The night was silent, and the sound of the second watch drum came outside, adding to the coldness in the quiet. The Confucian king didn't mean to answer her, and asked, "I see that you don't belong to your mind, what are you thinking?"
Li Shuci was physically and mentally exhausted, and he had already planned not to say a word again today, but the person sitting opposite was a figure who couldn't refuse at all. She said: "Today, the second uncle's daughter-in-law, my fourth sister Li Shuwan, accidentally bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the corner of a remote rockery, and it happened...... Something. Fortunately, the second aunt found out early, and took the biological mother of the fourth sister to relieve the siege. The fourth sister had a quarrel with Aunt Xu because of this. ”
Then, she babbled about the county lord of Kangyang and Cao Ying. Without stopping, she continued like a subordinate reporting to her master: "The other thing, my aunt's grandmother's family, my father and cousin, have been in their hometown of Qindu Mansion for more than ten years, and there is no marriage to be heartfelt, so the two of them went to Beijing with their aunt and grandmother to find a suitable family. Unexpectedly, today I was bullied by my eldest uncle Li Weicheng, and was bumped into by the family, and the eldest aunt forced Aunt An to accept her as a concubine, but Aunt An was still innocent, so in the end, I was a flat wife, and my eldest uncle had written a marriage book himself. ”
Li Shuci said it simply and clearly, but she knew that the Confucian King must have seen through all kinds of joints from just a few words, and he said bluntly: "And what you care about most should be the last thing." ”
Li Shuci nodded listlessly, she naturally wouldn't say that she thought An Qirong was looking at her father, so she was taken advantage of: "I didn't expect that An Qirong would have such a big mind." The frustration that emanated from her filled the room almost as far as ever. If An Qirong really marries Li Weicheng, her methods will only be more unscrupulous, ruthless and cruel than Zhou's. In her previous life, An Qirong was found by the Zhou family and became Li Weiqing's concubine, and later the defeat of the third room was inseparable from her secret troublemaker. Therefore, after being held in the hands of Aunt Shen, An Qirong is really a sharp chess piece.
Li Shuci's rebirth dealt a heavy blow to Li Shuqiao and others, and thus changed the trajectory of some things.
"Hmph, you are a smart person, why are you stumped by this incident? Don't forget, Li Weicheng was strictly ordered by the king to think about it at home for three years, and he must not cause any more incidents. Now not to mention having fun, he also tries in vain to defile his cousin and forcibly marry him. This is a great sin of ignoring the king's law and contempt for the king! There is no impermeable wall in this world, and presumably tomorrow there will be an imperial history meeting to impeach Li Weicheng for his failure to cultivate his personal virtues and despise the imperial power in the early dynasties. The Confucian King snorted lightly, his tone was indifferent, but the words he said did not leave Li Weicheng with a way to live.
The wind lamp at the corner of the eaves was quietly lit in the clear snow and peach blossoms, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and it shook on the window shadow up and down, and the light and shadow refracted on Li Shuci's face suddenly came alive, and suddenly a smile spread: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
On the face of the Confucian King who had not moved for tens of thousands of years, there was actually a little smile, his fingers were slender and the bones were distinct, and he unconsciously played with the pastel porcelain cup placed on the table, the color of the porcelain cup came out from between his fingers, and it became more and more cold like dew, light pink like xia, "If that cousin An really wants to marry, you can wait for another three years." I don't know if she still has this patience. "Wait another three years, An Qirong will already be twenty-three or four, and she will be a veritable old girl.
I didn't expect the Confucian King to tell jokes, Li Shuci looked at his fingers unconsciously wandering, and thought to himself, it turns out that a man's hands can also look so good. The hand on the porcelain bowl suddenly stopped, and Li Shuci came back to her senses and found that the Confucian King was looking at her. She was embarrassed and busy: "Eh, that...... I'm going to make a pot of tea for the prince......"
"No need. He said. "It's getting late, so I'll go back. ”
"Eh, you're back?" asked Li Shuci in a daze. Isn't he okay today, then why......
The Confucian King gently smoothed the corners of his clothes and said, "What's the matter?"
"Ahh "Congratulations...... Congratulations to the prince ......"
The Confucian King turned around, his back seemed to shake slightly, Li Shuci was even more embarrassed, was he laughing at her? Follow him to the courtyard, and watch the white figure drift among the flowers and branches on the wall. felt relaxed for a while, and it was really the most admired prince in Chongnan, but she just solved the problem that she racked her brains and twisted her stomach and intestines couldn't solve. She's so stupid! She thinks things are so complicated.
Turning back into the house, blowing out the candles, she shrank in the splendid quilt, her heart seemed to be disturbed by the snowflakes falling outside the house. She got up again, didn't call her a girl, and walked towards Yao's yard alone with a lantern, and the lights were shining in the distance, "Mother didn't sleep either?"
There was a knock on the door, and Yao Shi watched Li Shuci come in from outside in surprise, "Ah Ci, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"Why hasn't my mother slept yet?
Yao nodded and said, "Your father is still in the study, I want to wait for him to come back and talk to him about ......." ”
Things have been chaotic lately, and she was going to talk to her father but didn't have time to spare. Li Shuci persuaded: "Mother, don't think about this matter anymore, everyone has their own fate, since my cousin has made a choice, we just need to stand on our own positions, no one needs to feel guilty about anyone, let alone worry about what others do." Li Shuci took Yao's arm, "Mother, you just have to put your mind on your father, and my father and I can solve other things." ”
When Yao heard that Li Shuci asked her to put her mind on Li Weiqing, she immediately blushed, "You kid, what did you say to shame your mother and me!"
Li Shuci was afraid that Yao's heart would be depressed and sick, so when he saw her, he smiled and said, "Big brother is coming back soon, did my mother clean up the free Xuan?"
At the mention of the eldest son, Yao's eyebrows suddenly stretched: "You still need to say this, I have already ordered someone to clean it up." Everything is hand-picked by me. ”
Li Shuci thought for a while, "Brother Xiu is older, and when the eldest brother comes back, let the eldest brother take the younger brother to have a long heart." She saw that although Li Xiu's temperament was lively, she was too straightforward, not at all like Li Yi's hearty eyes. "Otherwise, you will suffer in the future. ”
Yao touched Li Shuci's hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, good." Let all three of you brothers and sisters have one heart!"
Coming out of Yao's house, she thought about it and went to Li Weiqing's small study, but found that the small study was empty, she was holding a lantern in her hand, and suddenly a little irritable, at this hour, the backyard had been locked, and it was impossible for the mother-in-law guarding the door to let her out. She returned to the Wind Garden and called Mu Yun.
Mu Yun was softly dragged out of the quilt by Li Shuci, and wondered: "Why hasn't the girl slept yet?" Li Shuci was in a depressed mood today, so he let the girls disperse early and was alone in the house in a daze.
"Don't sleep, you come with me to the front yard, I want to go to my father. Mu Yun got dressed in twos and twos, and half-hugged her over the high wall, Li Weiqing's study was near a lot of flowers and trees, and the two of them walked through it and scraped off a body of snow.
The study was really brightly lit, and there was no small guy at the door, but when she approached, she heard bursts of laughter from inside, Li Shuci was puzzled, Li Weiqing had a cold and indisputable temperament, since she was a child, she had never seen her father so happy and happy, even if she was happy, it was only a slight face, how could she have laughed so loudly? She held the cloak in her hand, and carefully moved to the window, the fragrance of wine came out of the window, and there was a low male voice calling one by one.
Zifang is Li Weiqing's character, obviously the two have just known each other, and they have a bit of a sense of hating each other. Li Shuci listened carefully, the man talked about everything, she had to admire this person's knowledge, Mu Yun gently pulled her sleeve behind her, Li Shuci turned around, saw that Mu Yun's face was different, and said with his mouth: "What's wrong?"
Mu Yun blinked and signaled to go first, but the man's voice came from inside: "Brother Zifang, there is a guest outside the window." ”
Li Shuci and Mu Yun glanced at each other, Mu Yun stood still, clearly wanting her to go in by herself, and her face was very ugly, Li Shuci looked at her suspiciously, and then replied loudly: "Daddy, it's me." ”
Li Shuci left Mu Yun outside and entered the study alone, she saluted, Li Weiqing smiled gently: "Ah Ci, you don't sleep late at night, why did you come to the front yard?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep late at night, my mother said that my father is still in the study, and Ah Ci thought that I hadn't been able to talk to my father for many days, so I came. Li Shuci replied obediently: "Daddy, who is this?"
Only then did Li Shuci look at the man, who was sturdy, dark-skinned, and full of beard that made it impossible to tell his actual age. The eyebrows are kind, and the eyes are bright. He looked at Li Shuci with a smile on his face. "This is Ling Ai, right? It's really beautiful, and she deserves to be the daughter of Brother Zifang. ”
Li Shuci hurriedly replied: "You have won the prize." ”
Li Weiqing smiled and said: "Ah Ci, this is my father's new friend, and he is very admirable. You should call him ......"
The man laughed, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes: "You don't have to see outside, you can call me the fourth uncle." ”
Li Shuci's heart tightened violently, and he raised his eyes to look at him: "Fourth...... Uncle?"
