Chapter 149 and the Rites

Li Yu looked at the young girl standing in front of him, with a respectful attitude, but he clearly didn't take him in his eyes, and suddenly rushed to the top of his head angrily: "Little beast, you kneel down for me!"

Li Shuci raised his eyes to look at her, "Grandfather doesn't know what mistakes his granddaughter has made?"

Li Yu choked on his chest in one breath: "You!"

"If my grandfather thinks that this family business is not suitable, he can explain it to the prince in person, or explain it to the king. Li Shuci said indifferently: "The granddaughter is just a woman in the house, and she is soft-spoken, which is not enough to shake the decision of the superior, and I ask my grandfather to understand." If the grandfather has nothing else to do, the granddaughter retires first. ”

On June 16, Li Shuci and Lu Li.

Grandmother is gone, parents are not around, this house is full of big brothers who sincerely wish her, it is really not interesting, so Li Shuci is not interested, thinking that only a few Yu Baochan will come to be lively. If it weren't for the king's will, she would have decided to keep her grandmother's filial piety in marriage, not to mention that the situation in the court and China is becoming increasingly chaotic, although the Confucian king wants to implement the matter of the two as soon as possible, but he is also willing to obey her wishes.

But she thinks like this, others don't think like this, although the Confucian King is in an embarrassing situation, but she is still reused by the monarch in every way, she is now a quasi-Confucian princess determined by the monarch, and she wants to be low-key but can't help herself. Besides, Princess Anyang had sent a message a few days ago to preside over her ceremony in person. Zhengbin is the princess of Anyang, and the gifts of the ladies and ladies of each family are generally sent to Li Shuci, and even Cao Ying, who has always looked at her unpleasantly, has sent a delicate and beautiful brocade multi-grid makeup, and these girls have been busy these days. The gift list and the guest's list were drawn up with a thick stack of paper.

Yao's family is not in Beijing, Zhou's family is suspended, and the Wu family can help Zhang Luo, and Princess Anyang personally sent two experienced old mothers to help take care of everything very carefully and properly. With the subordinates of the Manchu Mansion, how to come in a high-profile manner, how to come in a loud way, completely deviating from Li Shuci's original intention to simply mix the past, Qingge looked at Li Shuci who was stunned, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't think about it, Her Royal Highness the princess and the prince are like mother and daughter, so Zhang Luo for the girl, is also for the good of the girl." ”

"Well, I know, but I still don't like it. Li Shuci said helplessly.

Mu Yun smiled and answered: "I know! The girl has always liked to be behind the back, so she is a little unaccustomed to standing in front like this!"

Li Shuci gave her a blank look, "In your eyes, am I really so insidious?"

Mu Yun nodded very seriously. Li Shuci couldn't cry or laugh.

On the afternoon of the first day of the ceremony, Princess Anyang actually went to the house to inspect whether there were any mistakes. She took Li Shuci's hand and smiled without seeing her eyebrows, Li Shuci was embarrassed: "Your Highness...... What do you have to say to Ah Ci?"

An Yang giggled, she was already extremely beautiful, as if she was born to be favored by God, the years rarely left traces on her body, the beautiful and clear phoenix eyes were shining like a child, extremely bright, and the crimson brocade clothes she was wearing were reflected in the sparkling in her eyes, adding a bit of indescribable beauty. She suddenly quieted down again, the brightness in her eyes added a little ripples, and infinite sadness flowed out from it, "Ah Ci, you are a good girl, I think you are very good from the first time I saw you, you always had a bright smile when you were a child, and the power in that smile seems to make people rise from the dust." You can marry Sheng'er, and finally let me have an explanation for Sheng'er's mother. ”

Li Shuci never knew that he had such an impression in Princess Anyang's heart.

An Yang looked at her and said, "You don't know, you were very much like ...... at that time"

"Like Concubine De?"

An Yang hesitated for a moment, but nodded, she said: "Yes, you are as smart as her, you were a little similar to her when you were a child, she really shouldn't live in this cage if she is a person." ”

Li Shuci suddenly thought of something, "Your Highness, I wonder if you grew up with the monarch and Concubine De?"

Princess Anyang nodded, "At that time, the king was a prince who was not favored, and it was not easy to live in the gloomy palace everywhere, and Ah Zhen, who was Concubine De, withered in her background, like a slave, and let others trample on her." The two of them met by chance, helped each other, grew up step by step, and went through countless difficulties together. Because of this, I have a good relationship with Ah Zhen, and even she is the only friend I have made in my life. She sighed, "She is also unique to you. You don't know her, so you don't know that someone like that should be better than anyone else. ”

Although Li Shuci couldn't personally understand her feelings, he could understand the unbreakable and irreplaceable love between them, "I heard the prince talk about it, and later after the king ascended to the throne, he still had a deep love for Concubine De, but due to the situation, he had to set up another queen." ”

"It seems that Sheng'er is really attentive to you. "Anyang didn't seem to expect that the Confucian King would talk about Concubine De to Li Shuci. "At that time, I had just gotten married, lived in the princess's mansion, didn't go back often, and I didn't know some details. When those courtiers forced the monarch to stand up, the monarch's attitude was very tough, but it didn't take long for him to suddenly change his mind and set Shen Wennan as the queen. ”

"Your Highness...... I listened to what the prince meant, it seems that Concubine De Niangniang and Queen Shen have any special relationship, does Your Highness have an impression?"

An Yang said: "I don't know about this, but I vaguely feel like this." Once, I went back to the palace to see Ah Zhen and found that she and Empress Shen seemed to be arguing over something. And Ah Zhen seems to call Empress Shen 'Aya'. I asked Ah Zhen, but she avoided talking about it, and then I forgot about it. Alas, don't talk about these old things, you and Sheng'er's marriage is imminent, your mother rushed over from Qindu Mansion, it will take time, if there is a shortage of people at hand, just tell me, do you know?"

Early in the morning of June 16, the Confucian king sent someone to Li Shuci to send you a very simple ancient wooden hairpin for Li Shuci to use to save her hair.

It is a relic of Concubine De's mother. She held the hairpin, indescribably complicated. She didn't think about who she wanted to marry, but when he said he wanted to marry her, there was no trace of resistance in her heart.

The courtyard has been cleaned up, Yu Baochan and Fang Jin served as the praisers of Li Shuci and Lu, Princess Pei County took Yu Baochan to arrive very early, and Yu Baochan's eldest sister, Yu Baozhang, who had married into the palace of Ning'an County, also came together. As soon as these people entered the main hall, Mrs. Ruan arrived with Fang Jin. Several people suddenly chattered into a heap. Mrs. Ruan is from the Ruan family in Jiangdong, and she pays the most attention to etiquette, but she can't help her daughter, so she sneered: "You girls, make trouble, today is Ah Ci's big day, don't make trouble." ”

Princess Pei Jun said with a smile: "No, these girls have had a good relationship since they were children, and after more than ten years, they are all adults! Being a girl at home is a coquettish, and when you get married in the future, you must honor your in-laws, husband and children...... These two girls in my family are especially naughty, and I, a mother, always hang a heart for her!"

The two ladies eagerly and meticulously asked Li Shuci a few words, and Li Shuci said with a smile: "Mother Liyuan, fortunately, the second aunt is capable, and Her Royal Highness the princess sent two grandmothers to help, there is no more worry." ”

A few people talked, and the guests came one after another, and they all got up and went to the front.

The ceremony is actually very simple, but it is a good time for many relatives and friends to show that they have a girl who has just grown up, and it is a good time for the school-age daughters of each family to show their faces. Li Shuwan has been trained by the Wu family for a while since she bumped into the prince at the last birthday banquet, and the prince has not heard half a word after such a long time, her little illusion of beauty has finally been shattered. Now that he is provocative, he coaxed Aunt Xu's private room out to dress up, and vowed to show his face at Li Shuci's ceremony.

Li Shuyu has always looked down on her appearance, and when she saw her beautifully dressed and appeared in front of everyone, she couldn't help but mock: "The fourth sister can't fall in love with the rich man, this all-round style, I still think that our house is a concubine." ”

Li Shuwan's face turned pale, but she didn't pay attention to it, and walked past her, Li Shuyu pinched her waist and glared, and said to Pang Zi next to her: "Ouch, mother, have you seen it, she has done all the dirty things behind her back, and she has paid it off." ”

Aunt Pang didn't answer, her attention was also on her daughter's family affairs, and said: "You have to behave well today, look at the second girl, her son-in-law is fine now, it must be the fifth girl who mentioned it to the prince, the fifth girl's temperament is kind, as long as you don't touch her moldy head, she will always take into account your sisters' affection." ”

Li Shuyu said with a smile: "Look at what my mother said, we don't have the bad intentions of some people, the fifth sister is a person who knows right from wrong, how can she care about anything with us, if we have difficulties in the future, ask for the fifth sister's head, she won't care." As for those who are always stirring things up behind their backs and not being well-intentioned, it is not necessarily. Mother, don't learn from that mother to do something inexplicable. ”

"Okay, good, you're not too big or too small, I know you girl. Learn what they do! As long as you are good, other mothers will not care. Aunt Pang said angrily. She is Wu's companion, and she has followed Wu for many years, and her temperament is also a little bit of Wu's coolness. "Your family affairs, I mentioned to my wife, don't want anything to be rich or expensive, it's best to be the right person. ”

"Well, I think so too, I don't want to be a prince or something, the portal is small and the portal is small, at least we can have the final say. ”

Li Shuci happened to hear this, but she was stunned, she never knew that Li Shuyu was such a clear person, if there was a chance, she wouldn't mind helping her. But in her previous life, she made a steproom for the Taifu Siqing. Li Shuci frowned, "Tai, servant, temple, Qing?"
