The royal family has not held a wedding for many years, and it is rare to be so lively and festive, and many elders of the clan have come to the annex of Buzheng Fang. Even the saint showed his face, and after supporting his grandson, he was accompanied back to Taiji Palace by his royal brothers King Jing, King Lu and King Peng. As for the elders such as the Yue Wang couple, the Pu Wang couple, and the prince couple, they simply stayed behind to help the Su family entertain the guests. And Li Song has not appeared from beginning to end in the name of his leg injury that has not healed.

In the green tent, all the children of the clan were coaxing, shouting to urge the bride to fan. Li Ju unhurriedly chanted a fan poem, and the bride listened to two or three poems before slowly putting down the fan and looking over with a smile. The two looked at each other affectionately, and everyone didn't want to make any more trouble, so they all withdrew from the green tent.

Li Hui didn't like to join in the fun, and he left earlier than them. Originally, he should go directly to the outer courtyard to sit at the table, but when he remembered that several eldest princesses were coming, he didn't go to greet them, so he went to the inner hall of the main courtyard to greet the elders. The eldest princesses are relatively distant from the Pu Wangfu, and it is enough to maintain etiquette. Then, he greeted Princess Linchuan, Princess Qinghe, and Princess Anxing. After the three aunts teased him, he turned his head and saw the county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an sitting not far away, but he was the only one who saw the county lord of Changning, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Didn't Yue Niang come here today?" He walked over and asked softly. It stands to reason that such a lively event should not be missed by the county lord of Changning. What's more, aren't the crown prince Li Kun and the crown princess Du both here? How could she be left alone?

The county lord of Xuancheng was stunned: "Fang is still there." When we went to see the new sister-in-law, she also talked a lot to the new sister-in-law. Why did you suddenly disappear? Didn't you go looking for your uncle? For a moment, I didn't notice it...... What's the matter with her cousin looking for her? When Yue Niang came back, I would talk to her. ”

"It's fine." Li Hui's brows moved, and for some reason, there was a faint worry in his heart. Then, his gaze once again fell on the empty seat on the right side of the county lord of Xin'an - "This is Yue Niang's seat?" "Of course, the seat of the county lord of Changning cannot be after the cousins, but before them. This seat should be Li Qianniang's, after all, she has not been officially named the county lord. However, it's really strange, why is Li Qianniang not even there at this moment? Is it really just a coincidence?

"This is Qian Niang's seat." The county lord of Xin'an really replied, "Why is she gone?" The aunts also said that Qian Niang is the host's family, and it is time to learn to entertain guests. But after a moment's effort, she actually hid? How can this be what the owner's family should look like? If she comes back later, we'll have to laugh at her. ”

Li Hui said goodbye to them temporarily, and after leaving the inner hall, he saw Li Qianniang walking over with a personal maid with a smile: "Why is my cousin in a hurry?" Who is this looking for? She smiled brightly, and was clearly in a good mood. However, this good mood inevitably seems a little too exposed: as if it is not her brother who is happy today, but her; It seems that he has been suppressed for many days, and finally raises his eyebrows.

"Qian Niang, have you ever seen Yue Niang?" Li Hui deliberately ignored the hostility implied in her words and asked calmly.

The corners of Li Qianniang's lips curled, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter: "Cousin is really asking the right person, I just happened to see her from afar." She seemed to want to take a stroll around the garden, and went inside. She held out her slender index finger and pointed at it from afar, and her fingertips were facing the dark garden. This courtyard is extremely large, and the wedding is only used in the outer courtyard and the courtyard near the main courtyard, and other places are not arranged. Compared with the brightly lit courtyards, the back garden is getting darker and darker. The rockery and trees are entrenched in it like shadows, and it is particularly forested.

"Thank you." Li Hui thanked her calmly, and walked quickly in the direction of the garden.

When he disappeared at the end of the trail, Li Qianniang couldn't help laughing. The maid behind her looked at her with some trepidation, as if she wanted to say something. She glanced back coldly: "After following me for so long, you should know what you can say and what you can't say." With that, she pursed her lips and walked briskly back to the banquet in the inner hall.

After she walked away, Li Hui turned out of the bushes next to her, her eyes as dark as night. He had thought that this cousin was just stubborn by nature, and that he was angry with him because he could not get the prince's offer, so he had always provoked him, and he never took her disrespectful behavior to heart. But she never thought that she had actually learned these tricks and wanted to frame him casually? Could it be that he looks like an extremely easy deception? How dare such a clumsy lie be told in front of him?

This courtyard was originally prepared by the crown princess Du for Li Song's family, and it was not an unusual garden. I can't say, the county lord of Changning has been here many times before, how could he be curious about this garden? And you can't wait to take advantage of the night to visit the garden? Even if you want to make excuses, you should find a more reasonable excuse!!

And, what good did she do by tricking him into the garden? Isn't it the concubine of the great father Li Song or cousin Li Ju who lives in it, and wants to frame him for his personal morality? But he is still young and a person who "doesn't know the world", even if he meets any concubines, it is not too rude to treat each other politely, right? It's just that it gives him a reputation for being reckless.

Thinking of this, his brows tightened: the key is, should Yue Niang really be deceived by her? She was still young and had never encountered such a design trap. If Li Qianniang made up some excuses and tricked her into going into the garden to have a look, she wouldn't really be fooled. If Li Qianniang just wanted to scare her, it would be fine, but she was worried that something would happen in the garden.

Could it be that there is some kind of flood beast in this garden? No, maybe there are no flood beasts, just a wasted prince with an uncertain temperament. Yue Niang was at a young age, facing the gloomy father Li Song alone, wouldn't she be scared?

Li Hui still walked into the garden in the end, with two subordinates behind him. Walking along the path, I saw a temple surrounded by ancient trees after a while, with lights burning in it, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be faintly heard, but it was not too lively to hear. Even, under the lush ancient trees, the entire temple seemed to be shrouded in shadows, with a slightly terrifying chill.

He only glanced at it from a distance, and then motioned for a detour. However, in the darkness, they didn't know where they went, and they suddenly smelled a few traces of blood.

Li Hui's heart sank, and he immediately retreated farther. Just as he was about to find the county lord of Changning again, a white and soft arm stretched out from the flowers and grabbed his clothes. He quickly looked back, and was just about to pull out the barrier knife on his waist, when he saw the county lord of Changning quietly stand up, take her personal palace maid, and say to him silently: Brother, let's go quickly.

The two cousins immediately returned to the main courtyard and sat in the corner of the Yanxi Pavilion to rest. At this time, everyone was feasting and drinking, and there was no one around, and it was clear in the bustle. The county lord of Changning looked left and right, deliberately sat next to Li Hui, and lowered his voice: "Why did Brother go in and visit the garden?" I've been looking for you for a long time. ”

"Did Li Qianniang tell you?" Li Hui couldn't hide his reproach, "How can you believe her?" Unexpectedly led by her into the dark garden? She just wants to scare you, and you will be fooled? "Maybe it's not just to scare her, but there's no need for the little guy to know the truth.

Hearing this, the county lord of Changning pursed his lips: "I didn't think about it at the time, and I was deceived by her." However, when I walked to the temple, I felt that I must have fallen for her. It's dark everywhere, what kind of garden does my brother visit? I also thought she must be trying to scare me after me, so I hid in the flowers to see what she would do. If she dared to come along, I would have jumped up and thrown her to the ground, and scared her into tears! Hum! ”

"Luckily, you're not afraid of the dark." Li Hui rubbed her little head, "Otherwise, it will be you who is scared and crying." ”

"I'm very bold." The little guy raised his chin triumphantly, "By the way, brother, is there a great father living in that palace?" I also saw people carrying large heavy boxes and hurrying out of them. I don't know what's in the box......"

Li Hui remembered the smell of blood he had just smelled, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "It can't be said to be a gift for my cousin, after all, today is his wedding." The eldest father was unable to participate due to a leg injury, and he must have regretted it in his heart, so of course he had to give him some more good things. They give gifts from father to son, and you treat them as if you had never seen anything. In addition, you can rest assured, Li Qianniang's matter, Brother will definitely give you anger. ”

"What can Brother be angry with me? Scare her? The county lord of Changning glanced at him, "Next time she lied to us again and scares us again?" I don't want to be angry with her anymore. I hated her, looked down on her, but never did anything to her. She dared to do this to me, I must sue Sù A-Niang...... I also want to sue Grandpa! ”

Li Hui had to admit that it was really difficult for him to do anything to Li Qianniang at the moment. As a cousin without any real power, there is indeed a limit to what he can do. Besides, she has already said that she is going to get married soon, can he ruin her marriage? For the sake of the prince, she still married well in peace. And if she is married, she will have to use those inner house women to deal with her quietly, and he is neither familiar with nor disdainful of using them.

And if the county lord of Changning complains to the elders and puts his name in front of the future emperor, Li Qianniang's fate can be imagined. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess did not need to do anything, it was enough to imply that the niece of the people did not please them.

After all, Li Qianniang is still inexperienced, and she is not a real Chang'an noblewoman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so fluttering by those compliments, and she couldn't help but vent all the inexplicable grievances in her heart. She had no idea who could never be calculated or offended - the county lord of Changning was one of them. As a clan girl, her beautiful life in Chang'an may have ended early.

It should be said that she is worthy of being the daughter of the great father? Without the slightest patience, especially cautious in holding grudges, not understanding the yang and scheming, and stubborn and reckless - the father and daughter are really in the same vein.

After the banquet ended, Li Hui mentioned the matter to Li Xin: "Brother, did the eldest father have a penchant for abusing palace people back then?" If he relapsed, his grandfather would not know how sad he would be when he found out. The big box and the smell of blood were enough to remind him of many rumors about Li Song back then. He would rather just think too much about himself than his loving grandfather once again be hurt by what his son had done.

Li Xin's expression was solemn: "There were indeed such rumors in the East Palace back then, and it was true if I couldn't say it." Moreover, since Li Qianniang led the two of you over, she was sure that the great father had done something that should not be done. Even if it's not an abuse of a servant, it may be something else that shouldn't be known. If you witness such a private thing, and cause the Great Father to be angry, he will hurt you without hesitation! This woman is so vicious, she really can't be punished! ”

“…… She knew it and didn't say anything, I don't know if the Great Mother and her cousin knew...... Maybe I know, but I can't persuade ......," Li Hui said, "I want to know if there is anyone in the way." It happened that this happened when my cousin got married, and it happened that they would stay in Chang'an. ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe you're just looking too highly at the Great Father. If he could endure for a while, but if his temperament could be gentle, he would not end up in the current situation. Li Xin shook his head, "Moreover, to find out about this, you have to be extra careful." Our people in Puwangfu, every move will fall in the eyes of others. ”

“…… Why don't you let the child think about the idea? Li Hui suddenly remembered his friend, "He said that although there are few tribes in their Wang family, most of them are loyal to him. The Wang family's trilogy, no one should care too much, right? It is appropriate to investigate the matter. ”

Li Xin hesitated for a moment and had to agree.
