Chapter 108: The Hundred Days Banquet (1)
Although such an answer sounds very reasonable, it is undoubtedly sad for Li Siyu.
She said, "I was drunk last night, and I ran out drunk. "Aren't you worried?
Cao An's expression still didn't change, and he said, "Since you can't drink, why do you still drink?" Drinking is your own choice, and since you are drunk, you bear the consequences. ”
Li Siyu said: "Is this your true words?" ”
Cao settled for a moment, and then said, "Yes." It was just one word, but it took him all his strength.
Li Siyu took a deep breath, "I understand. ”
He didn't seem to care about her anymore.
Tears fell the moment he turned to leave.
Maybe the weather was too cold, and the originally warm tears instantly became cold, making people feel cold on their faces.
The world covered in silver was originally beautiful in Li Siyu's eyes, but now it seems very bleak.
When Li Siyu left, Cao An breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole person seemed to be collapsed.
After learning that she went out in the snow yesterday, he had been very worried, and it wasn't until Fang Yu sent a message that she was in the Hengwang Mansion that he was a little relieved. Anyway, she is also the one who saved King Heng, and King Heng's Mansion will not treat her badly. What's more, there is Fang Yu by her side.
The reason why he was cold to her was because he felt that he was not worthy of her. Since she is not worthy, why delay her? Long pain is better than short pain, so he pretended to be indifferent, just to make her die for him.
The fact that the prince begged her to marry her as the crown princess on the street stimulated him a lot, and he felt that she should have a good future.
In the following days, Cao An and Li Siyu rarely met, and even if they did, they only acted as if they didn't see it, and the two were always avoiding each other. Even the work of pricking the eldest prince with a needle fell into Fang Yu's hands.
Fang Yu couldn't stand it anymore this day, and he said to Cao An: "Do you really plan to go on like this forever?" ”
Cao An's expression was indifferent, "Otherwise? ”
Fang Yu said: "I know you are doing it for her good, but you can't bear to see her so sad?" ”
Cao An is also full of helplessness, what can he do if he can't bear it? He couldn't give her happiness. He said: "You should understand the truth that long pain is better than short pain. ”
Long pain is better than short pain, revealing helplessness.
Fang Yu naturally understood this truth. It's just that when he found out that she stayed up late every night to read medical books until the early hours of the morning, he was very distressed. She knew she was for the eldest prince. Even though they have reached the point where they meet like strangers, she is still working hard to cure his illness. She couldn't let go of him in her heart.
He was afraid that she would never be able to let her go.
Just after the New Year, a happy event was ushered in, General Nangong was going to hold a 100-day banquet for his son Nangong Wuchen.
Naturally, Houfu received the invitation. And Li Siyu and Fang Yu also received invitations respectively. Nangong Hao finally had such a son, so with the emperor's permission, he could organize a banquet in a big way. So much so that quite a few people went this time. However, the General's Mansion is big enough, and although so many people have gone, it does not seem crowded.
Li Siyu went with Fang Yu. After arriving, because the female dependents were arranged in the inner house, and the male guests were in the outer room, Li Siyu and Fang Yu were separated.
Li Siyu wore a veil today, because she was afraid of meeting the original owner's biological mother, Li. Others may not recognize Li Siyu, but her biological mother must recognize her. She didn't want to be recognized.
After entering the inner courtyard, Li Siyu carefully looked at the people around her, but did not find Li's figure, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not dare to relax her vigilance.
It was still very cold, so everyone was chatting around the fire in the house.
As soon as Li Siyu entered the inner courtyard, he went to Mrs. Nangong. At this time, there were many ladies with status who sat in Mrs. Nangong's room with their own young ladies. As soon as Li Siyu entered, Mrs. Nangong recognized her wearing a veil.
"My sister is here, come and see Wuchen. You see if he's getting fat again. ”
Li Siyu followed Mrs. Nangong to look at Nangong Wuchen under the puzzled eyes of everyone.
Li Siyu said: "I have indeed gained weight, and my face is round again." ”
None of the ladies had ever seen Li Siyu, and they had never heard that Mrs. Nangong had a younger sister, so they were very curious about her identity. So someone asked Mrs. Nangong.
Then everyone knew that this woman was the one who saved Mrs. Nangong and Nangong Wuchen. is also the sister-in-law of Mrs. Nangong.
Mrs. Nangong thought that Li Siyu was wearing the veil to block the cold wind outside, so she said: "Now indoors, the cold wind can't come in, you can take off the veil." ”
Li Siyu was slightly stunned, but seeing that the original owner's biological mother Li was not here, she also took off her veil. The ladies were dazzled, and they only felt that she was smart and beautiful.
Jia Feng suspected that it was her when Li Siyu came in. Now seeing her take off her veil, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Sure enough, it's you!" ”
Wu said: "Do you know her?" ”
Jia Feng said: "She is the Xiaoyu I told you." ”
Speaking of the name Xiaoyu, all the ladies present have heard it. The reason why they heard it was not because she saved King Heng, but because the prince begged to marry her as the crown princess on the street, but she refused.
It turned out to be her. Everyone sighed in their hearts. It's no wonder that the prince has taken a fancy to her, she is indeed a beautiful woman.
Wu looked at Li Siyu carefully. He then compared her to his own daughter. In the end, I have to admit that she is better looking than her daughter.
But vaguely, she felt that Li Siyu was a little familiar.
Xiaoyu is the person the prince likes, although people rejected the prince on the street, but they didn't see what the prince did to her. It can be seen that her position in the prince's heart is very important. In addition, she is the benefactor of Nangong Mansion, and the Nangong family must support her. If she wanted to, she would most likely become the crown princess. Therefore, the ladies and ladies were very kind to her.
Wu originally thought that Li Siyu was just a showmanship with no background. is not qualified to compete with his daughter for the position of crown princess, so he didn't take her seriously. But when she found out that she had the support of the Nangong family behind her, she had no bottom in her heart. Nangong Hao is a first-class general who holds military power and is deeply loved by the emperor. Although her husband, Jun Jia Jungong, is also a good product, and he also has a lot of connections in the court, he has no military power in his hands. If Nangong Hao strongly supports Xiaoyu, I am afraid that the concubine will be more willing to let the prince marry Xiaoyu as a concubine.
Wu smiled slightly, "I heard that Miss Xiaoyu saved King Heng and took care of King Heng outside for a night, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
What does it mean to take care of King Heng overnight outside? This clearly means that she stayed with King Heng for a night together.
Wu glanced at Princess Heng, obviously wanting to borrow Princess Heng's hand to deal with Li Siyu.
Princess Heng didn't expect Li Siyu to have such a relationship with the Nangong family. She knew that the Wu family had always wanted her daughter to be the crown princess, so she naturally regarded Li Siyu as a thorn in her side. She said this for two purposes, one was to touch Li Siyu, and the other was to use her hand to deal with Li Siyu. (To be continued.) )
