The eunuch who was standing beside the prince and waiting was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to confess, and Luo Shanren's father and son were also shocked into a cold sweat.

The prince settled down and smiled: "It's not in the way, chopsticks fall means happiness, it's a good omen, just change a pair for me." ”

The eunuch trembled and changed a pair of silver chopsticks to the prince, and the prince picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish, and said with a smile: "Luo Yuan, please, since it is your own family, there is no need to be restrained." ”

Luo Junxi echoed and instructed Luo Fu to pour wine, and the family banquet continued.

After a tour of drinking, Princess Mingzhu saw that the atmosphere was very depressing, and unconsciously kicked Luo Junxi, who was sitting next to her, with her toes, and said with a smile: "Don Ma, you grew up in Los Angeles, can you share interesting things with me?" ”

Luo Junxi added a bowl of ginseng soup to the princess, and said with a smile: "Junxi concentrated on practicing martial arts when he was a teenager, and his temperament was wooden, if he was going to tell some interesting things, it all happened when he was playing with his younger siblings, princess, if you like to listen to it, I will tell you slowly after I go back to the room." ”

Princess Mingzhu said with envy: "The three of you brothers and sisters grew up together, and a lot of interesting things must have happened during this period, but it's not like we are in the palace all day long."

She stopped, glanced at Prince Jiyuan, who looked calm, and said with a smile: "Did you say, imperial brother?" ”

Prince Jiyuan said: "This is natural, the horse is a family in the people, and naturally there are not so many constraints. ”

Princess Mingzhu clapped her hands and smiled: "The sixth uncle of the first year marries, I am blessed to be able to witness the liveliness of the folk marriage, brother Huang, do you plan to stay and watch the ceremony, or go back to the capital?" ”

Prince Yuyuan's eyes turned slightly, looking at the side of the sister, but unfortunately the beauty had already lowered her head, and he could only see her thick black hair shining in the candlelight.

Mei'er was bowing her head to drink the soup, and she didn't realize that there was a strange light in the eyes of the prince looking at her.

"It's hard to get out of it, I also stayed to talk about Luo Yuanwai for a few days, and then set off to return to Beijing after the seventh day of the new year!"

The princess was slightly surprised, but instantly relieved, this royal brother has become more and more prestigious in recent years, and he has always been very measured in handling things, since he said that he wanted to stay, he naturally has his reasons, she grinned and asked Luo Junxuan: "Is the girl that the uncle married a girl from Los Angeles?" ”

Luo Junxuan stood up, bowed respectfully to his sister-in-law, and said, "If you go back to the princess, the girl I married is Miss Zhang Zirong, the eldest daughter of Zhang Yuanwai in Luocheng. ”

The princess snorted, turned her head to look at Mei'er and said, "I have heard that my sister-in-law is the first beauty in Los Angeles. ”

Mei'er's heart skipped a beat and she turned her head to look at her father.

Luo Shanren smiled and said to the princess: "Mei'er lost her mother since she was a child, when she was young, I was tired of running for a living, neglected her upbringing, this girl followed her two brothers, running around all day long, her temperament is very rough, female red knitting, and she doesn't know anything. ”

The princess covered her mouth and smiled: "Female red knitting, I don't know anything either, there are many skills in the world, which one is proficient in everything?" My sister-in-law's appearance and qualifications should be matched with a gentleman, and don't let people be allowed indiscriminately. ”

Luo Shanren hurriedly said: "Yes, I am also thinking like this, but the daughter is not up to her father, her family affairs, she has to nod her head, I dare to nod as a father, don't you say, Mei'er?" ”

Mei'er kept listening to her father's sister-in-law's conversation, and when she heard her father's inquiry, she raised her head and replied in a low but clear voice: "Daddy is forgetful, didn't my daughter say on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival - don't you want to marry any man in the world in this life?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone sitting on the table was surprised and silent, she did say this with tears in her eyes that day, but in the hearts of Luo Shanren's father and son, it was just a temporary joke, and she did not expect that at today's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, she would repeat the words of the day in front of the prince and princess.

Luo Shanren's expression was general, and he scolded in a low voice: "You girl, what nonsense, you are a good girl's family, you naturally want to marry, you don't always rely on your parents, there are strange men in the world, but you haven't met at the moment, but if you meet in the future, you will regret today's rash words." ”

Mei'er left her seat, knelt in front of her father, and said: "Daddy is angry, my daughter naturally knows that there are strange men in the world, but my daughter has already had the idea of breaking through the red dust, no matter how good the strange men in the world are, they have nothing to do with their daughters, and their daughters will never marry any men in the world in this life." ”

Luo Shanren's face alternated between red and white, and his whole body trembled with anger, this girl spoke too indiscriminately, you can say this in front of your father, but how can you say it in front of the prince and princess, not to mention that the princess just said with a smile, "Sister-in-law has such qualifications, and she should be a gentleman." ”

You swore not to marry in person, where did you put the face of the princess of the golden dynasty?

The green tendons on his forehead were raised, and he wanted to wave his hand and slap his daughter, but looking at his daughter's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he could only point at Mei'er and say, "You are presumptuous!" How can you be willful in this matter? ”

Mei'er took a deep breath and said, "My daughter is not willful, what she says is from the bottom of her heart. ”

The princess was surprised and said, "Why does my sister-in-law have this idea? Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, harmony is unified, you are beautiful, innocent, and just in the rhyme year, when you are a gentleman in the world, such absurd thoughts, or put it away early, as far as I know, there are many talented and beautiful unmarried young talents in the capital, if you can't find a suitable person in Los Angeles, your sister-in-law can look for you in the capital on your behalf, and ensure that you are satisfied. ”

Mei'er turned her head to look at the princess, her lips trembled slightly, and just as she was about to speak, Luo Shanren had already shouted loudly: "Mei'er, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, don't you thank the princess and sister-in-law for their longen." ”

Mei'er said in a trembling voice: "Daddy me"

Luo Junxuan walked quickly to his sister-in-law's side, helped her up, he bowed to the princess, and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that my sister is stubborn, but she had a serious illness after the rain on Qingming Day, and she has not completely recovered so far, so that she has a little sadness, and she speaks upside down. ”

Luo Junxi looked at the girl's pale face, felt heartache, took his brother's tone and continued: "My little sister used to be lively, but since the accident a year ago, she has been silent a lot, and we are also very worried about this!" It's not too late to talk about her family affairs after she will take care of herself. Little sister, your sister-in-law cares about you, so don't come and thank your sister-in-law. ”

Mei'er took two steps forward to Princess Mingzhu, bent down and saluted, and said, "Mei'er spoke recklessly, sister-in-law is not strange, thank you sister-in-law for your care." ”

Princess Mingzhu smiled faintly, pointed to the stool beside her, and said, "Sit down, even if your body is weak, you don't have to stand all the time." ”

Prince Yuyuan, who had been watching silently, suddenly smiled and said: "Since the South China Sea pearls have a miraculous effect on the girl's recovery, it is better to take some more, Chunxi, you immediately take the three of you back to Beijing, take a hundred South Sea pearls and three thousand-year-old ginseng, remember to go back quickly, and do not delay for half a moment on the way." ”

Princess Mingzhu glanced at the imperial brother sideways, and was quite surprised in her heart, Prince Jueyuan did not look back at her sister, her eyes just glanced at her side, Princess Mingzhu knew in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Eunuch Chunxi answered, didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately went out of the hall.

Prince Yuyuan stared at Mei'er with a worried expression, and his face was quite playful: "The face is really not good, it seems that I want to take care of it, I have heard about the snake in Luocheng Qingming, I have also heard it in the capital, and I am also half-convinced in my heart, these days I have gone up the mountain with the horse three times to investigate, although the green mountain is lush with trees, it really doesn't look like there is a giant snake, the girl doesn't have to be too scared." ”

Mei'er held the second brother's hand and sat down slowly, she didn't dare to look up at everyone, but responded in a low voice: "Thank you, prince, I have long forgotten about it." ”

Luo Junxuan coughed in a low voice, what he saw that day, now that he thinks about it, is it really an illusion? He also felt confused in his heart, when he was hit by a snake down the dirt slope, knocked his head and fainted, but the little sister disappeared mysteriously for more than three days, and then he was in a coma for a hundred days before waking up, waking up and being sane as usual, this thing was already strange, so the shrewd and sophisticated father has been saying that the little sister lingers on the sickbed, but also to block the mouth of the world, but whether the little sister has encountered some adventures that are not enough for outsiders, only she knows in her heart.

Since the little sister woke up, her face always looked stunned, and she liked to look at it alone by the railing, and on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the three brothers and sisters went up to worship their mother, when he stood beside the little sister, he clearly heard the little sister shouting the name of a strange man.

"I will never marry any man in the world in my life" Why did the little sister make this vow early? She has always lived in the boudoir, and she has not tasted love, and she should have a longing for her future husband, but she doesn't seem to be like this.

Luo Junxuan has always suspected in his heart that the sister must have met an immortal or a demon on the day of Qingming, so that other thoughts were born in her heart, but these words naturally cannot be said to the prince and princess, otherwise they will be reprimanded as "bewitching the public and demagoguery"

The Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet continued, but Mei'er had long lost the joy of Fang Cai in her heart, looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, her appetite was gone, she gave birth to a helpless feeling in her heart, the princess sister-in-law Chrysostom has been opened, then the father will definitely choose a son-in-law for himself after the marriage of the second brother's sixth year of junior high school, I can refuse the man my father chose for me, but how to reject the so-called "young talents" that the princess and sister-in-law chose for me?

How should I deal with myself then?
