"All the time? How long have you known each other? Le Yi looked at him seriously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"We met three months ago."

"You said she's an orphan, so where does she live now?"

"She's now... Stay in my house. ”

"What?" Le Yi was a little surprised.

"That's right..."Yan Zizhen said the process of the two getting acquainted.

It turned out that three months ago, one day Yan Ziqin was eating wontons on West Street, and accidentally the money bag was stolen, and he had no money to settle the bill, and was dragged by the owner of the wonton stall and didn't let go. He thanked her and wanted to give her back the money, but she smiled and said that it was worth a few copper plates, so that he didn't have to take it to heart, and left.

When he walked east from West Street and was about to return home, at the bend, he heard the woman's exclamation 'catch the thief', he ran over, and when he saw it, it turned out to be the girl who had just rescued him.

"What's wrong?" He asked, looking at her panicked.

"My money bag was stolen." After she finished speaking, she ran forward desperately, and he also chased after him. But there were three small alleys in front of her, where was the shadow of a thief, and she didn't know where to run, so she stomped her feet in a hurry.

"Don't worry, the silver is lost, it's good to be fine."

"How can I not be in a hurry, if I can't catch it back, I will have to sleep on the streets tonight." With a stomp of her foot, she chose the leftmost alley and ran over.

Yan Ziqin was not at ease and also followed. It's a pity that I ran for a long time and didn't see a single figure.

Li Yulian was out of breath and rested for a while and wanted to continue chasing, but was stopped by him.

"No one sees it, forget it." She looked very pitiful, her hair was close to her cheeks, and she was drenched in sweat.

"What then?" She leaned limply against the wall, her face full of despair.

"Silver... Is it a lot? He looked at her sympathetically.

She shook her head, tears rolling in her eyes: "Not much, but that's all my belongings." ”

After thinking about it, Yan Zizhen said: "Thank you for breaking the siege just now, I haven't returned your silver yet, or you can go with me, and I will take some silver for you." ”

"Hehe, no need, it's just a few copper plates, thank you for your kindness."

"Since you don't have any money on you, I'll lend it to you first, and then you can pay it back to me another day."

"Forget it, I don't have to." She shook her head stubbornly.

The more she was like this, the more anxious he became: "Didn't you just say that you were going to sleep on the streets without money?" ”

Li Yulian raised her sleeve and wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, but it doesn't matter, I'll find a broken temple to live in first, and I'll talk about it tonight." ”

"You!" Yan Ziqin hurriedly said, "Don't you have any relatives in Beijing?" ”

"Loved ones? No, I'm an orphan girl, and I just came to Kyori to find something to do to support myself. She looked up at the sky wistfully.

"You're a girl's family, it's dangerous outside."

"No, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it's fine."

"Nothing? It's okay how your money bag was stolen. He frowned.

"I was too careless." After she finished speaking, she reluctantly smiled at him: "Thank you, I'm leaving." ”

Looking at her thin and stubborn back, he shook his head, turned around and walked a few steps, thought about it, and still followed.

But before she had gone far, she was stopped by several beggars in front of a dilapidated house.

A few dirty beggars surrounded her, smiling strangely as they approached her.

"You... What do you want to do? Go away! Li Yulian hugged her burden tightly in fright, trembling all over.

"Hurry up, I don't have any money, if you don't leave, I'm going to call someone." She said with a pretense of ferocity.

"Yo, there's no silver, and it's okay to have someone without silver." A beggar with a dysentery head laughed very obscenely.

"That's it, the little lady is so beautiful, stay with us." Another yellow plate tooth said, a mouth full of black, black, yellow and yellow crooked teeth made people disgusted to watch.

"Go away, go away." Li Yulian shouted loudly in fright: "Help! ”

"Shout, shout, shout, no one screams their throats, this is our territory, hahaha." The dwarf beggar laughed excitedly.

The three of them stretched out their hands at the same time, Li Yulian screamed 'ah', just when she was about to faint in fright, she heard a few screams, and then a cold voice said the word 'roll', she opened her eyes tremblingly, and saw the beggars running away.

She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that someone had saved her, and muttered, "Thank you." ”

Looking up at the person, it turned out to be him.

"Is that you?" She looked at him in amazement.

"I followed you all the way, why, do you dare to stay outside alone?" He looked bad.

Li Yulian still had horror in her eyes, and instinctively shook her head.

"Then let's go, go back with me, and pay back your money." He finished and walked back to his feet.

She bit her lip, after such a thing, she dared to go alone, and saw that he was richly dressed, and at first glance he was the son of a big family, and he was not bad, so she hugged her burden and followed.

It's just that I didn't expect his mansion to be so big and so good.

Looking at the ingot of silver he took out, she hurriedly waved her hand: "Why do you use so much, it's just five copper plates." ”

"Take it!" He took her hand and put the silver in her palm, and her face flushed.

"That's... I'll pay you back when I have the money. ”

He nodded noncommittally.

Looking at him who didn't speak, she was a little embarrassed: "I don't know what to call you yet?" ”

"Swallow Chin."

"Oh, Young Master Yan, that's... I'll go first. She blessed her body, picked up her baggage, raised her feet and prepared to go.

Somehow, looking at her was really unbearable, and he stopped her in a few steps: "It's really not safe for you to be a girl outside, or stay with me." ”

She was surprised for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "You and I are not related, how can it be..."

"You have relieved me today, even if it is my thanks, you can live first, and it is not too late to leave when you find a suitable place to stay. Also, I live alone in this mansion, and I don't stay here every day on weekdays, so you should help me watch this mansion. That's it, let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live. ”

After saying that, before she could refuse, he had already strode out.

She hurriedly followed, and if she wanted to refuse, she gritted her teeth and endured it when she saw that it was already dark, and what had just happened made her heart palpitate.

In this way, she lived in the Prince's Palace, and she has lived there to this day.

"Listening to you say that, that girl is pretty good." Le Yi saw that he looked like he was trapped, but it was not easy to say anything else.

"Well, Lian'er is kind-hearted, has a gentle temper, and is a good girl." Yan Ziqin's tone was gentle.

"It's just that she hasn't found a place to stay yet?" If she had known that the girl lived in his house, the queen mother would not have been happy.

"She is a little stubborn, she refuses to ask for my silver, and she hasn't saved enough money, thinking that it is more dangerous for her to be a girl's house outside, anyway, I don't often stay in the house, so I will keep her for a while." Moreover, he was reluctant to let her leave, so he stayed for so long under his deliberate obstruction.

"As a result... Keep it...", I fell in love with someone, Le Yi covered her lips and smiled jokingly.

"Imperial sister-in-law." Yan Ziqin lowered his head embarrassedly and drank tea.

Laughing and laughing, but now that he had spoken, she couldn't do nothing.

Le Yi picked up the cup, took a sip of flower tea, thought for a while and said, "However, I am not sure that my father and queen mother will agree." ”

"I know." Yan Ziqin frowned: "So, I actually wanted to ask the imperial sister-in-law for another favor." ”

"Oh? Didn't I convince the queen mother? Le Yi looked at him in surprise.

"It's better to help convince the queen mother, but before that, can you let her... Staying in the Hou Mansion for a while? Yan Ziqin looked at her embarrassedly. He needs to find a place for Lian'er to live first, this is one, and second, if she can live in the Hou Mansion, it will be very good for her, and the queen mother will not be too embarrassed for the sake of the Hou Mansion and the imperial sister-in-law.

Living in the Hou Mansion? Le Yi was stunned, hey, I just got a guy who needs the endorsement of the Hou Mansion, here is another one! But he is different from Bai Mu, this book is not easy to memorize, if she does, won't she be caught between her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law? If you don't handle it well, you have to do bad things with good intentions. Moreover, it is not appropriate! It's just that he opened his mouth, and if he pushed it directly, he couldn't say it.

"This is a solution, but in this case, the queen mother knows and thinks that I am already helping you, and it is not good to help you speak later. I don't think it's better to bring her over first so that we can get to know her, and then find a way to find her a better place to live. ”

Yan Ziqin was overjoyed when she heard this: "It's because I didn't think it through, but I embarrassed the imperial sister-in-law, so I'll bring her over tomorrow, is it okay?" ”

"Of course this can." Le Yi smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, then I'll go back first, and I'll bring her over early tomorrow morning. Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, Lian'er is also from the border city, you will definitely like it when you see it. Yan Ziqin got up and thanked her, and then rushed back.

Looking at his eager steps, it can be seen how anxious he is about this matter, but this girl is actually from the border city, which is fateful, but this thing is really difficult to do! The story of the prince and Cinderella looks touching, but there are a few that have a good ending. Just like Aunt Ying, although it is okay now, but I heard that it was extremely difficult to get married, how much blame I suffered, if it wasn't for Uncle Meng being the only sister-in-law, and there was an uncontrollable brute force, if Aunt Ying didn't marry, or even forced her life, and Mrs. Meng mediated it, this matter would definitely end in tragedy. Even so, in the first few years of marriage, Aunt Ying was almost driven crazy because of the children, which shows how difficult this matter is. What's more, Yanzi Qingui is the prince, with the heartfelt mentality of the queen mother's love for her son, alas, it seems that there will be trouble next!

"Mother, let's go into the house and rest for a while." Seeing that she had been standing for a long time, Cailian came over and whispered.

"Yes." She nodded, don't think about it for now, let's talk about it when Ming'er sees someone.

After Yan Zizhen came back in the evening, he asked about Yan Ziqin, and when he knew that he liked an orphan girl, he didn't say much, just frowned, and they had the same opinion, and the father and queen mother were not so easy to understand. It's just that Le Yi should be optimistic, it's up to people, but Yan Zizhen has reservations, but he doesn't refute her, just asks her not to worry too much, this thing can't be done thanklessly on both sides.

Seeing that he was thinking about himself, Le Yi smiled happily, 'let's chirp', and kissed him on the cheek. As a result, well, the sky was thunderous, and I was almost not eaten by him. Looking at the disheveled appearance of her clothes when she went to the ear room to take a shower, she covered her hot cheeks and lamented that she couldn't live because of her own sin...

In the ear room, Yan Zizhen felt that such days were too difficult! Counting his fingers, there were still three months, and he couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water from his head in frustration.

The prince's mansion, looking at Yan Ziqin's happy face, Li Yulian was also overjoyed, but she pinched the handkerchief, the crown princess, she is not so easy to talk about, she remembered what she rejected a few years ago, and her heart tightened.

"No, can't you?" She asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, the royal sister-in-law is very talkative, and I'm here too. Yan Ziqin saw that she was uneasy, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid when you see the imperial sister-in-law, what will you do when you see the queen mother in the future?" ”

Li Yulian lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, and glanced at him lightly, causing him to laugh.

yes, what's there to be afraid of? She remembered her in her heart, how could Yang Leyi, who was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, remember a stranger who had begged them to take her in? She couldn't help but laugh herself, laughing at herself for thinking too much.

Early in the morning of the second day, she got up early, and from several sets of clothes sent by Yan Ziqin, she picked the most simple set of clothes to wear, wearing a white magnolia loose flower long gauze dress, combing a simple Lingyun bun, fixed it with a butterfly hairpin, and the whole person looked refreshing and very comfortable.

When she saw Yan Ziqin's satisfied eyes, she knew that she was wearing the right clothes, and then the two got into the carriage and went to the prince's mansion.

When she stepped into the prince's mansion, Li Yulian felt that her palms were sweaty, looking at the well-arranged mansion in front of her, she bit her lip hard to keep herself calm, and obediently followed Yan Ziqin towards the princess's courtyard.

Le Yi had already packed up and prepared all the refreshments for the guests, and when she heard the maid's greetings, she greeted her at the door of the main house.

"Imperial sister-in-law" Yan Ziqin raised her hand to salute when she saw her, and the girl behind him also squatted down to salute.

"You're welcome, come in."

She sat on the main seat with a smile, and after Yan Ziqin came in, she turned sideways and whispered to Li Yulian behind her: "Lian'er, I've seen the imperial sister-in-law." ”

Li Yulian took two steps forward, lowered her head, and knelt down to salute according to the rules: "The people's daughter Li Yulian has seen the crown princess. ”

"Hurry up, please." Le Yi motioned for Xiangxiang, and Caixiang immediately stepped forward to help her get up.

"Thank you, Princess."

After Li Yulian got up, she raised her eyes slightly to look at the person sitting in front of her, only glanced at it, and immediately lowered her head.

The girl's voice was quite crisp, and after getting up, she raised her head slightly to let people see her appearance. Well, she looks pretty good, and her facial features are relatively soft, which is Le Yi's first impression.

"Second brother, Miss Li, sit down and talk. Xiang'er, serve tea. ”

Yan Ziqin sat down, and Li Yulian also sat down under him, but only half of his body was sitting, Le Yi glanced at it and nodded secretly.

"Yesterday, I heard the second prince say that Miss Li came from the border city?" She started the conversation.

"Yes, the folk girl is from the border city, because there are no relatives at home, I am the only one left, and I am not immune to being bullied by the neighbors. Thinking about it, although he knew some embroidery skills, it was really difficult to support himself in the border city, so he sold his family's dilapidated house and came to the capital for some silver. ”

Yan Ziqin glanced at her with pity.

Le Yi saw that she spoke clearly and spoke rationally, but she was quite impressed.

"It's really not easy, I've lived in the border city for ten years, and I can be said to be half a fellow countryman with Miss Li." In the border city, it is indeed too difficult for an orphan girl to beg for a living.

"Don't dare to be, it's the mother who carries love." Li Yulian smiled a little shyly, but she was relieved, sure enough, who would remember a person who met in Pingshui.

Seeing her like this, Le Yi smiled at Yan Ziqin who looked at her.

Yan Ziqin saw that she had no unusual smile, and she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A few people chatted casually again, Le Yi saw that she was quite comfortable in answering, and she was not humble or arrogant, but her clenched hand on the hem of her skirt revealed her nervousness, and everything else looked pretty good, so she invited them to eat in the house at noon.

Yan Ziqin naturally agreed, which shows that the imperial sister-in-law is satisfied with Lian'er, how can there be no reason.

At noon, Yan Zizhen came back, and the two brothers went to the front yard to eat, and Le Yi took Li Yulian to eat at her place.
