The ninth princess's lips were full of wine, her face was flushed with drunkenness, and her eyes were full of water, as if she was about to lose her temper.

Li Weiyang heard her words clearly, and couldn't help frowning for a moment when he came back to his senses, turned his head and instructed the girl next to him, "Go and tell your princess, just say that the ninth princess is not strong enough to drink and needs a place to rest." ”

As soon as the girl saw the situation, she immediately ran away.

The ninth princess staggered to her feet, and Li Weiyang was afraid that she would do something drastic at this banquet, so she quickly stood up and supported her. But suddenly tears flowed down her cheeks, and she quietly stopped saying a word.

A young lady next to her exclaimed, "Why is the ninth princess crying?" ”

Li Weiyang said calmly: "The princess heard that the victims were displaced, homeless, and starving, and she felt uncomfortable and couldn't bear it. ”

Those people looked at the Ninth Princess with a look at each other, and they really didn't believe that she was crying for such a reason, but when they saw the cold appearance on Li Weiyang's face, they all looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. I heard that His Majesty is going to marry the princess, and the object is the Zhang family of the Luo State Mansion......

At that moment, someone whispered: "I heard that the ninth princess is unwilling to marry, and she knelt alone at the gate of Concubine Rou Palace for a long time!" ”

"Huh? Isn't she a childhood sweetheart with that person? Why don't you want to get married? ”

"Shhhh Concubine Rou loved her so much that she actually locked her up in the palace for three days and three nights! ”

There was gossip in her ears, Li Weiyang turned a deaf ear, just quietly watched her cry, and could understand how sad she was. How can the man she loves with her heart never move her heart for her? But Li Weiyang feels that it's nothing not to be loved, the key is to love yourself, if you don't even cherish yourself, why should people love you? Therefore, let her have much sympathy for the ninth princess, she really doesn't feel this way.

At this time, the Tao female official beside Princess Yongning came in person and said with a smile: "The slave maid took the princess back to the room." ”

The ninth princess grabbed Li Weiyang and didn't let go, the Tao female official looked at her in embarrassment, Li Weiyang said, "I'll send her too." "It's really unwise to pull and pull at a banquet like this.

Lady Tao nodded, and then called a girl who served at the banquet to help the ninth princess, and she herself personally held the red gauze lantern, followed the path under their feet, and said carefully: "Watch out under your feet." ”

The backyard of Princess Yongning's mansion was quiet at night, and Li Weiyang kept sending the ninth princess to the wing room before he stopped: "I should go back to the banquet." ”

Zhao Yue has been guarding from afar, obviously not at ease at any time.

Lady Tao nodded and said, "Thank you to the county lord of Anping." She was just about to order someone to help the ninth princess in, but who knew that the ninth princess stood up all of a sudden, looked at Li Weiyang fixedly and didn't speak, and only took two steps forward after a long time, raised her hand to rebuke others: "You all go down, I have something to say to the county lord." ”

In this way, the ninth princess was pretending to be drunk, Li Weiyang affirmed the guess in his heart, raised his lips slightly, and asked her, "Is the princess awake?" ”

The ninth princess's face showed a pleading look, and when the Tao lady saw that the situation was not right, she ordered the girls to all retreat, and she said: "The slave and maid are guarding outside, and the two of you can say it if you have something to say." ”

Lady Tao closed the door, and the ninth princess glanced at Li Weiyang, her eyes were extremely complicated, and she said, "Sister Weiyang, I have something to ask you." ”

Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself why this line was so familiar. Could it be that the Ninth Princess thinks that asking for someone in everything can solve the problem?

The ninth princess's eyes were wet, and she said, "Sister Weiyang, you go and tell my mother for me, don't let me marry that person, okay?" I know that the mother believes in you very much now, and she also said let me learn more from you - I beg you, please be good? ”

Indeed, Li Weiyang and Concubine Rou have been very close recently, but they are not like the ninth princess thought that the relationship was very good, but they just helped each other. Li Weiyang looked at her, looked at the young princess, and said slowly: "This is not what Concubine Rou means, this is the meaning of His Majesty, and I can't influence His Majesty." ”

As soon as the ninth princess heard her say that it was useless to beg Concubine Rou, her eyes turned red again, and she choked up: "According to this, do I really want to marry him?" But I don't like him at all! As he spoke, he picked up his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, "If that's the case, then I'...... I might as well be dead! ”

Li Weiyang watched her cry quietly, but he didn't even have the last bit of pity in his heart.

In this world, countless people are busy with survival, desperately enduring pain in order to eat one more bite of food, but the princess in front of her, but for the unsatisfactory marriage to seek death and life, she is so naïve, which makes people bored for no reason. Besides, the emperor asked her to marry a handsome young man who grew up with her childhood sweetheart, and she was not a life-seeking Hades, if she was unwilling, it was a big deal to fight to the emperor desperately, even if she failed, she could be regarded as fighting for herself, but her gaffe at the banquet just now, and the crying and crying now, are all so out of place.

The ninth princess suddenly raised her eyes, "Sister Weiyang, there is another way!" If you are willing to help me, this matter can be resolved. ”

Li Weiyang was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly.

A spark ignited in the eyes of the ninth princess, and she said: "I know that the third prince trusts you the most, as long as you let him take me away!" He'll listen to you! She seemed calm, but only she knew how difficult it was to say it, and at last even the sound seemed to fall into the light dust on the ground, so low that she could not hear it clearly. Because she knows how rude it is!

Li Weiyang's eyes were shocked, and she was silent for a long time before she spoke: "He won't take you away." ”

The ninth princess didn't expect her to refuse so quickly, almost speechless.

Li Weiyang said word by word: "If he likes you, he is naturally willing to marry you, and he doesn't need me to speak." But he doesn't like you, but you want me to force him, your dignity as a princess has fallen to this point? ”

The ninth princess's face turned white in an instant, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to speak, but she was stunned, her face was red and white, and she said in a trembling voice: "I...... I thought...... I thought you wouldn't say that about me...... Why do you want to say the same thing to your mother! ”

Li Weiyang shook his head lightly, "Because you don't remember your identity!" You are a princess, the daughter of Your Majesty! For so many years, His Majesty has forced you to do something you don't want to do! Why did he marry you into the Luo Guo Mansion against your will, do you understand? What kind of family is the Luo Guogong Mansion, and what kind of relationship do they have with the Seven Princes? In terms of emotion and reason, they have a lot of personal feelings with you and the Seven Princes, but only marriage can make this relationship more stable! In order to let His Majesty rest assured that more military power will be handed over to Luo Guogong! ”

The ninth princess listened carefully, her face turned even paler, and it took a long time before she said, "They all use me as a tool—"

Li Weiyang smiled, but there was indifference in his smile: "It can be used as a tool to show that you are valuable, and no one cares about people who have no value." Including me standing here and talking, it is also because of your identity as the ninth princess, if you don't know this, you can give up this identity, take off this gorgeous costume, and go to the street to take a look, to see if without the protection of the guards, you beautiful little girl can walk out of three hundred meters away safely! Look at your life without food and clothing, will you starve to death on the side of the street like those disaster victims! ”

The ninth princess was silent, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, trembling slightly, and her heart seemed to be struggling.

"You should be glad that you are a princess, otherwise, with your nature, can you live safely to this day? Even if you don't want your own life, do you want to wander with Minde? Li Weiyang's voice had a hint of ruthlessness. On the surface, he was teaching her a lesson, but there was a voice in his heart, which said to himself repeatedly and categorically-

Li Weiyang, you are so despicable.

You don't like the Ninth Princess getting close to Li Minde, so you scare her like this.

You know that Minde's identity is not ordinary, even if the ninth princess follows him, she is still a group of servants with fine clothes and food.

You know that the Ninth Princess is innocent, but she is just a little girl, and she comes to beg you with the last glimmer of hope, but you scold her like this.

You have indeed helped the Ninth Princess a lot over the years, but she has always defended you everywhere. Obviously, you have done so many vicious things, but who dares to look down on you with the noble ladies from all over the court, the ninth princess will even reason with others and knock on the door for you.

You only know that Zhang Feng really loves the Ninth Princess, even if she doesn't love him at this time, she will definitely feel happy in the future. But she is also a human being, not a tool without feelings, because you yourself have no feelings, and you are so jealous of the feelings she has?

Li Weiyang looked at the Ninth Princess, but in the end he just said softly: "Think about it yourself, what should you do." ”

We have already traveled half the way, how can we retreat halfway?

She didn't want to make any excuses for herself, what she did was what she did, and her purpose was to be frank and unrestrained, she was despicable, because she was not a noble person in the first place. If you don't like something, you have to stop it, even if it hurts other people's hearts, even if you trample on other people's feelings. If everything has to make others better, then she Li Weiyang will not be happy! Minder didn't like the princess, and instead of giving her indifferent hopes, it was better to go too far and make her completely dead! There's nothing wrong with doing it yourself!

If you don't embarrass each other, you embarrass yourself!

Li Weiyang turned around and was about to leave, when the ninth princess suddenly spoke: "Sister Weiyang, I'm sorry." I'm so out of shape......"

Li Weiyang didn't look back, the ninth princess's eyes were bright, and she pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, before she spoke: "I am willing to marry him." Her words paused, and her voice lowered, "Thank you." ”

Li Weiyang didn't speak, and walked straight out. There's nothing to thank, I'm not here for you at all.

Thinking so in her heart, she walked out with an extremely indifferent look, and said to the Tao female official outside: "The ninth princess needs to rest for a while, please don't go in and disturb her." ”

The Tao female officer nodded and said, "The slave maid will take the county lord back to the banquet." ”

Li Weiyang nodded, and followed Lady Tao back to the banquet, at this moment it was the time to stagger, Princess Yongning had already raised a lot of money, and it was rare for a smile to appear on her face, which had always been strict. Seeing Li Weiyang, he nodded to her from afar, and Li Weiyang said to Tao Nuguan: "My grandmother is unwell, and she has asked me to bring the treasures to be donated, and I can't stay here for too long, so I'll leave." ”

Lady Tao nodded and said, "Don't worry, the county lord will report to the princess." Please also ask the county lord to wait, and the slave maid will prepare the carriage for you. ”

When he came, Li Weiyang came in the carriage of the ninth princess, so now when he goes back, he needs to arrange a new carriage, Li Weiyang did not refuse the other party's kindness, but smiled faintly and said, "Thank you." ”

She glanced at the place behind her that was making the most noise, and her eyes happened to collide with Princess Hechang. He Chang is a person who seems to have a hearty personality, and she perfectly plays the role of a foreign princess with a lively and cheerful temperament, innocent and kind, and full of curiosity about Yiqiē in a group of noble ladies. In addition, when donating, it is extremely generous, which seems to be righteous and sloppy. It makes people think that she is very approachable, but also shows a kind of pride that only royalty has.

At that glance, Li Weiyang was sure that the other party looked at her very clearly.

She didn't wait long, and the Tao lady quickly arranged the carriage. Li Weiyang got into the carriage, and the Zhao Nan brothers and sisters escorted her all the way. The carriage staggered out of Princess Yongning's mansion and drove down the streets. Normally, this was the time when the night market was open, but now, it was silent, and the night breeze mixed with the cold aroma coming from nowhere, made her a little dazed.

The carriage passed over the bridge, and the river below was silent, Li Weiyang lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw the shadow of the moon reflected in the water waves under the bridge.

For so long, every time she attended a banquet, she felt out of place.

Everyone is laughing, watching songs and dances, chatting and talking. She is used to being alone, and every time she goes to a crowded occasion, although she is always laughing, she feels even more lonely. What's the point of such excitement? She thought to herself and sighed softly.

The wind blew the curtains, and the carriage creaked, and it stopped.

Zhao Nan said outside the curtain of the carriage: "Miss, someone asked the carriage to stop." ”

Zhao Yue opened the curtain of the carriage, and Li Weiyang saw clearly the beautiful girl riding a horse outside the carriage, holding a long whip at the moment, looking at her with a smile.

Sure enough, it's here - Princess Hechang! I heard that she had a broken rib before, but now it seems that her strength is amazing, or her endurance is amazing-Li Weiyang looked at her silently, and He Chang didn't even bring an entourage behind her, and rode over alone, at this moment she dismounted neatly, and said with a smile on her face: "County Lord, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and took the initiative to get out of the carriage.

The two walked to the bridge, and the night breeze swept across the lake, and there were countless ripples in the lake. He Chang took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Li Weiyang.

Li Weiyang stretched out his hand to take it, lifted the lid, and saw the contents of the box clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised. In the box turned out to be a white phoenix jade pendant, shining faintly under the moonlight, very dazzling.

"This is Fengyu." Princess He Chang explained, "Father handed it over to the fourth brother and asked him to give it to the future fourth princess, no, it should be said that it is the future Queen of Mobei." ”

It turned out that Li Yuanheng was already the next Mobei Emperor who was decided, Li Weiyang smiled, and he really didn't guess wrong. Then this man is too bold to come!

"There is only one piece of this phoenix jade in the world, and I don't know how many people have broken blood for it, and for thousands of years, it has only been passed on to the queen of Mobei. What does my fourth brother mean by giving away phoenix jade, does the county lord understand? Princess Hechang asked.

Li Weiyang just looked at her quietly, as if he was a little puzzled.

Princess Hechang said with a smile: "The fourth brother has four side concubines, but he has not yet married a wife, this is because he has been looking for a long time, but he has not found a woman who makes him feel qualified." But he has observed you for a long time, and he thinks that you are not only smart and capable, but also calm and rational, and your actions are quite in line with his heart, so he thinks that this phoenix jade is the most suitable for you. ”

"His Majesty has already given a bride to the four princes of Mobei." Li Weiyang replied like this, his tone was not very happy, and he didn't mean to be excited at all, so a trace of surprise appeared in Princess Hechang's eyes, but she quickly smiled: "That's the emperor of your calendar, we don't recognize it, we have already understood the so-called bride, but she is a weak boudoir lady, I dare to say that she will definitely not live for half a year when she arrives at the palace in Mobei." If you marry this kind of vase back, the fourth brother will not be satisfied, and the person he wants is you. ”

A hint of displeasure flashed on Li Weiyang's face, but it quickly disappeared and said with a smile: "Princess, this phoenix jade pendant is so meaningful, I can't accept it." ”

He Chang smiled and said, "Li Weiyang, if you stay in the Great Calendar, what will you do?" You just buried your intelligence and intelligence like those incompetent women at the banquet just now, but when you arrive in Mobei, you can do what you want to do, and you will become the most noble woman in Mobei in the future. When she said the most noble three words, a trace of greed flashed in He Chang's eyes, but she hid this affection very well, and there was still a smile on her face.

Become the most noble woman in Mobei? Li Weiyang sneered in his heart - how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

"What price do I have to pay?" Li Weiyang's face was just smiling.

Sure enough, it was a smart woman, and Princess Chang said with a smile: "Is it the price-you know, my fourth brother still has a lot of enemies, and they will all try their best to find trouble, you may need to plan well for the fourth brother." ”

Li Weiyang knew that it was not so simple, at least, Li Yuanheng must have reached some agreement with Jiang Hua to have her! "It's as simple as that?" She repeated it slowly, "Is it just planning for the fourth prince?" ”

He Chang's smile remained the same, but his eyes deepened, and he said slowly: "Of course it's not only that, but it's not the time to say this!" The most important thing you should do now is to decide whether you bet or not! ”

He Chang obviously felt that this was irresistible for any woman. Although marrying the future emperor of Mobei meant countless dangers and struggles, it also meant countless wealth and power, which was her life's pursuit, so she thought that Li Weiyang would not be able to refuse.

Li Weiyang pursed his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You really think highly of me." ”

"A girl who can force the Jiang family to be cornered really makes us have to take a high look." In fact, if it weren't for the fact that many of Li Weiyang's things were revealed by Jiang Hua, they wouldn't have wasted so much time on her. Such a clever and vicious woman is exactly what Li Yuanheng needs. Princess Hechang pulled her hair and smiled amorously: "Frankly speaking, it is indeed shocking that a girl of yours dares to be the enemy of the entire Jiang family, but it is also extremely powerful, I admire you very much, and I like you very much, so I really hope you can be my sister-in-law." ”

Li Weiyang looked at her quietly, without a trace of reaction.

He Chang gave her a very friendly smile.

Li Weiyang looked at her, and then returned the box containing the phoenix jade pendant to her.

Looking at He Chang's shocked expression, Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "Please tell the Fourth Highness, I need to think about it." ”

He Chang narrowed his eyes, is this a woman's reserve, or a tactful refusal? She couldn't figure out Li Weiyang's mind for a while, Li Weiyang's attitude towards Li Yuanheng seemed to be intentional before, but if she left, even Li Yuanheng was held up to the sky by her for a while and fell to the ground for a while, and she originally only had three points of mind and quickly became a mind to get her, so it seems that Li Weiyang knows a man's mind very well, the kite is flying very high and far, but the line has been grasped in the palm of her hand.

Originally, Princess He Chang felt that Li Weiyang was the same kind of person as her, desperately trying to climb up, and she would not refuse this tempting suggestion. Before, she refused to marry, and even made trouble in the auspicious hall, but she couldn't be sure of the value of the four princes of Mobei, and now that she knows that he is the future emperor of Mobei, she will definitely agree, but now, she is a little confused.

He Chang deliberately lowered his face and said, "Li Weiyang, don't toast and don't eat and drink, my fourth brother respects you, if you ...... like this again"

Li Weiyang suddenly turned his head, stared at her, and said in a deep voice: "The princess is so angry and embarrassed? ”

He Chang was involuntarily stunned.

Li Weiyang said: "I just need time to think about it, if the fourth prince doesn't have any patience and persistence, please go back early." ”

Li Yuanheng is an unusually persistent person, just from the jewelry he sends every day. That's all priceless, so willing to spend blood, it shows that he is bound to win her!

"Li Weiyang! We will leave Kyoto in three days. He Chang suddenly said behind her.

Li Weiyang's footsteps did not stop, but he said lightly: "In three days, I will go up the mountain to pray for the victims, and I am sorry that I can't send them off." ”

He Chang frowned and stared at Li Weiyang's carriage leaving, she fell into doubts for the first time, but soon, she laughed, Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang, being a man to do your part, it's really amazing! If you really don't have any interest in the position of Queen Mobei, why do you want to tell me where you are going then?!

The carriage went all the way back to Li's house, Li Weiyang got out of the carriage, turned around and instructed Zhao Yue to give a reward to the coachman of Princess Yongning's mansion, and then he was about to enter the door. But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Zhao Yue shouted excitedly: "It's the third young master!" ”

Li Weiyang stared not far away without blinking, and saw Li Minde's Pegasus galloping from the north.

He didn't attend the banquet today, but at the banquet, Li Weiyang kept listening to the ladies talking about his name. His handsomeness is well known to everyone, but he refuses to enter the office no matter what, but I don't know which woman will be able to accept his heart and marry into the gate of the Li Mansion in the future. Of course, Li Weiyang knew the reason why he refused to enter the office, and he just quietly watched him ride a horse and approach, the brocade robe shining in the night, but this was no match for the bright and clear eyes, the face-

When Li Minde saw her, the smile on his face became extremely bright, and everyone here was dazzled.

He stopped with the reins of his horse, and quickly dismounted, before laughing again: "Is today's banquet smooth?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said, "Naturally, it is shun lì, and shun lì can no longer be shun." She suddenly remembered the crying face of the Ninth Princess, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "The marriage between the Ninth Princess and Zhang Feng is decided." ”

Li Minde's expression was surprised for a moment, and then he said, "Does this have anything to do with your plan?" ”

Li Weiyang's footsteps stopped for a moment, and then said casually: "It's okay." She was supposed to tell him the thoughts of the Ninth Princess, but now she felt that it was unnecessary, "Are you ready over there?" ”

Li Minde smiled: "Wait to see the good show in three days." ”

Li Weiyang nodded and said, "I hope they can all like this generous gift." ”

Three days later, it was the tenth day of the first month of March, and it was suitable to travel, and Li Weiyang had already freshened up and prepared in the middle of the night, and entered the palace at dawn. Today it was the Queen Mother who invited her to speak, and when she arrived in the Queen Mother's Palace, the Ninth Princess was already there, and when she saw her coming, she just smiled at her slightly, and then turned her head to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, look, Sister Weiyang is here." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and beckoned: "Come, come quickly." She has always admired Li Weiyang very much, and the ninth princess also likes her very much, today she wants to choose some makeup for the ninth princess, but Concubine Rou is unfortunately sick, and the queen is also very busy, and the ninth princess took the initiative to ask Li Weiyang to be a staff officer. Although this is not in accordance with the rules, as long as the Queen Mother is happy, it doesn't matter.

The Queen Mother nodded, and the eunuch on the side continued to read: "One mink fur bed, one fox fur futon, eight python satin and satin futons, twelve pillows, one curtain, one tent, one cover tent, fifty taels of third-class red gold, fifty taels of light gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand horses of satin yarn, and two thousand horses of wool and green shuttle cloth——"

The ninth princess was picked up early in the morning, if her makeup should have been carefully consulted, but the queen mother wanted her to choose some beloved things, such grace had never been there, so even if she was sleepy and impatient, she had to listen with a smile on her face.

After reading for half an hour, only a quarter, the Queen Mother sighed, rubbed her temples and said, "It's really a headache to hear, Weiyang, what do you think is inappropriate?" ”

Li Weiyang smiled and said: "The Queen Mother carefully prepared, where is there anything inappropriate, but the ninth princess has always had her own ideas, I am afraid that all the fabrics have to be seen by herself, and she doesn't like the old rules in the palace." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, this time she did take out a lot of old materials from the warehouse, some colors are really not suitable for her own wear, and the reward is too expensive, it is better to find another batch from the Internal Affairs Office, she nodded and said, "That's the word." As he spoke, he pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, and Li Weiyang said carefully: "Hasn't the Queen Mother's headache been cured yet?" ”

The ninth princess on the side hurriedly said with concern: "Queen Mother, are they all granddaughters, you are tired of your marriage for me, it really makes me feel sorry." ”

It's all Concubine Rou's poor health, and the queen is not the biological mother of the ninth princess, she is too perfunctory in this matter, the queen mother can't stand it, but she personally grasps it in her hands, these days just after the makeup is about to have a headache, she shook her head, and said, "It's an old problem." ”

Li Weiyang said softly: "Weiyang has the courage to offer you a kind of mint ointment, it may be useful." The Queen Mother glanced at her, and her eyes revealed a little warmth: "It's hard for you to have a heart, but this is an old problem, and the imperial doctor in the palace has also used a lot of methods to no avail." ”

There was no trace of sadness on the delicate face of the ninth princess at the moment, she glanced at the queen mother, and said coquettishly: "Queen mother, just give it a try!" Then she took the initiative to walk in front of Li Weiyang, took the peony pattern small porcelain bottle in her hand, opened it and smelled it, there was a cool mint smell in the nose, she dipped it with her ring finger, went up and gently rubbed it for the queen mother, and whispered: "Always give it a try......"

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "It is indeed very comfortable." ”

Li Weiyang smiled, this peppermint cream is different from the general prescription for treating headaches, in order to please the Queen Mother, she didn't know how much effort it took to get this secret recipe, and now that she takes it out, of course it has a miraculous effect. "The courtier's daughter heard her grandmother accidentally talk about this secret recipe for headaches, and thought that the Queen Mother also had headaches, so she took the risk to try it, and it was effective, even if it was ineffective, it would not be harmful to people's bodies."

The Queen Mother was really happy, and looked at Li Weiyang's expression becoming more and more gentle: "It's hard for you." ”

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more harmonious, and the ninth princess smiled and peeled the red-skinned oranges herself, and handed them to the queen mother one by one. When it was time to eat, the Queen Mother also said: "Weiyang also stays to eat together." ”

This is an unprecedented honor, Li Weiyang said with a smile: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

So, a dozen or so eunuchs set up two tables in the middle of the main hall, put together a square table, and then placed the bowls and plates covered with silver lids on the table one by one. The carved Taishi chair on the east side of the dining table is naturally for the Queen Mother, and two smaller chairs are placed next to the dining table, which are for her and the Ninth Princess.

A group of well-trained eunuchs began to set up meals, and the smell of various delicacies began to waft in the air, and the food here far exceeded the pomp and circumstance of the Li Mansion during the New Year, so it was simply arranged during the special period. The eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "The meal is ready, please eat." ”

The ninth princess wanted to remind Li Weiyang of the etiquette of dining, for fear that she would make a fool of herself at the dining table, or make some mistakes that would make the queen mother unhappy, but she didn't expect Li Weiyang to walk to the chair that should be her sitting very accurately, kowtow to the queen mother first, thank you for the seat, and then stand aside, and wait for the queen mother and the ninth princess to sit down after they are seated. During the meal, the ninth princess stared at Li Weiyang with surprised eyes. She was so surprised, she didn't know why Li Weiyang was so skillful and elegant, and the demeanor of the meal was even more dignified than her.

This kind of demeanor is by no means something that can be trained overnight, not only the ninth princess, but even the queen mother looked at Li Weiyang twice, and she felt a little strange in her heart. It's just that no one asked, and the Queen Mother even felt that this was Li Weiyang's natural demeanor.

During the lunch, the hall was quiet, and even the Ninth Princess, who had always been lively, did not dare to speak casually. After lunch, Li Weiyang retreated with the nine princesses to the screens at both ends of the palace, and the eunuch brought mouthwash and hot hand towels for them to rinse their mouths and wipe their hands, and then brought a small silver box containing cardamom and vegetarian sand, so that they could hold it in their mouths, on the one hand, it would help digestion, and on the other hand, it would bring fragrance when they spoke.

The ninth princess quietly observed Li Weiyang, and saw that her movements were elegant and noble, and her demeanor was dignified and generous, she couldn't help but think that she had grown up in the court since she was a child, and she had already known these actions, but her movements and manners were definitely just step-by-step, even Concubine Rou had criticized, saying that she didn't care about learning the rules, and she also felt that this was a daily habit, what was there to learn, but today I saw Li Weiyang's movements smooth, and it turned out to be much more dignified and beautiful than the daily behavior of the concubine. Even the old ladies who have been in the palace for many years may not be able to compare...... couldn't help but have more and more doubts in her heart, but in front of the Queen Mother, she didn't even dare to ask.

At this moment, a eunuch suddenly came in with a frightened face, knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, Concubine Liu went to Puji Temple to offer incense today, but who knew that someone was robbed halfway!" Now those female officials are coming back crying, and they are all in trouble at the palace gate! ”

Concubine Liu was the concubine who married into the palace in the later years of the first emperor, because she was very young when she entered the palace, she was not sensible and would not invite favors, and she was not favored by the first emperor, so she had no heirs, but she had always had a good relationship with the queen mother. As for now, she is not very old and can't sit in the palace all the time like the Queen Mother, so she regularly goes to Puji Temple every month to pray for blessings, which can be regarded as a distraction. But I didn't expect that the dignified concubine Niangniang would dare to rob her halfway!

The Queen Mother was shocked: "Who dares to do this!" The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and said hatefully, "It's really an ambitious leopard guts!" As she spoke, she felt that the headache that had just improved had become more intense, and she could barely sit still, so the ninth princess hurriedly dipped her fingers in some peppermint paste under the queen mother's nose, and let her sniff it for a while, and the queen mother felt relieved.

The ninth princess hurriedly reprimanded the eunuch: "Why don't you make it clear, what the hell is going on......"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "The concubine Niangniang went out of the palace, and she was all right, but just went up the mountain and a group of gangsters rushed out inexplicably, and she couldn't help but say that she had beaten someone, so she snatched the sedan chair!" ”

The Queen Mother gasped and said in surprise: "This is the honor guard in the palace, who knew that this kind of thing happened, how can I be good......

The ninth princess glanced at Li Weiyang, hid the smile in her eyes, and showed a look of infinite guilt on her face, and said: "Queen Mother, blame me for not being good, in fact, I happened to meet a concubine when she left the palace today, and saw that she brought so many people, and the honor guard was very luxurious, so she said that now is an eventful autumn, and it really shouldn't be so publicized, and the concubine Niangniang thought so, so she ordered people to follow lightly, don't make a big fuss, if it is according to the original situation, the villains will never dare to do this kind of thing——"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "How can I blame you!" Originally, after the disaster, everything had to be simple, let alone to worship the Buddha, or on the official road, who would have thought of such a thing! Her tone froze, and then she said in a deep voice, "Does Your Majesty know?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is unwell today, and the imperial doctor has been announced, and the slave still doesn't dare to report it." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "This matter can't be made a big fuss, hurry up and take my edict to find Jing Zhaoyin, and ask him to find Concubine Liu before dark, if not, come and see him!" ”

"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly went.

The ninth princess saw that the Queen Mother's face was becoming more and more gray, and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, Concubine Liu has always been kind, God blesses, there will be no big problem, maybe it's a misunderstanding-"

Misunderstanding, where does this kind of misunderstanding happen! In the past hundred years, this has never happened! The harem concubine was hijacked, and this concubine is still a concubine - if it is passed out, it will laugh off people's big teeth! So when the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't have the slightest look of relief on her face. Concubine Liu was only fourteen years old when the emperor died...... It has been very well maintained over the years, and it seems that the charm still exists, but I don't know if those inexplicable villains are seeking wealth or sex, if something really happens, I am afraid that she will really die and martyr the first emperor.

The Queen Mother's eyelids began to jump vigorously, I really can't imagine who would have nothing to do to kidnap such a half-old, besides, this is to enter the incense, and she didn't bring any gold and silver treasures, what's the use of asking her! It's just - unbelievable! What now? Don't say that people can't find it, if they do, it will be a big trouble!

Li Weiyang glanced at the ninth princess, his eyes drooped, and he finally couldn't hold back a smile. She knows this Concubine Liu, she is really beautiful, slender, she is a slender tall person, although she has a single eyelid, she has a pair of Danfeng eyes, although she is a concubine, she can't dress too fancy, but she always swaggers in a way when she dresses up without exceeding the rules. She was very young when the first emperor died, and later there were rumors that she had a very close relationship with a certain prince, if it weren't for the protection of the queen mother, this concubine Liu would have been buried long ago, not to mention that she is still alive and well.

The truth of today's matter is that she first asked the ninth princess to change Concubine Liu's honor guard, and tried to arrange it as simple and ordinary as possible, looking like a noble lady from an ordinary big family going out, and then specially arranged an identical carriage to drive it, and deliberately shook it in front of people's eyes...... As for how to make the man think that the two carriages are exactly the same, it depends on whether Zhao Yue, the girl who accompanied the car, is dressed decently......

At this time, I heard the queen mother's ouch, but the female official next to her inadvertently knocked over the teacup, and the tea burned the queen mother's hand, the queen mother was so angry that she raised her hand and gave the female official a slap, naturally the palace was shocked, the queen mother has never beaten a palace maid for more than ten years! You must know that the master of the palace is to punish people, and she doesn't need to do it herself, so it can be seen how angry she is today.

The ninth princess quietly winked at Li Weiyang, who had been watching her nose and nose, and was silent.

Li Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, now, it depends on whether the next move is smooth, so as to know whether the whole plan is successful or not......

Of course, the queen mother's troubles were not over, and when she was drinking tea, the eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Just now, the four princes of Mobei took people to hurriedly go to the north, but they happened to meet the prince returning from hunting, and accidentally collided with the prince's carriage and horse, but he refused to report his identity, and only went to the north vigorously, the sky was dark, and the guards under the prince couldn't see the identity of the other party clearly, and suddenly heard a woman in the carriage calling for help, thinking it was a villain, so he rushed up to kill it, grabbed the carriage, and found that there was a concubine sitting inside!" ”
