Chapter 43: Self-defeating

At noon, the Yan Wangfu did not open the banquet, even though the eyes were full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, the Yan King Li Zhong and the princess did not have the heart to take a second look, because the only daughter went out for half a year, it was only two days after coming back, the Yan King deliberately pushed down the important banquet, just to reunite with the family, but who knew that the girl, the temperament was too wild, always unable to contain her thoughts, yesterday was left by the Xuanhua lady in the Wuyou Mansion for lunch, but today sneaked over.

For this reason, Li Zhong, the young and powerful Yan King, also complained about the princess and failed to discipline Li Qingmei well. The princess was immediately unhappy, indicating that it was King Yan who loved the pearl in her palm too much, so that Li Qingmei developed such a casual habit, and her face immediately turned cold. King Yan is very dedicated, he only married the princess in his life, and after giving birth to Li Qingmei, he did not want his beloved wife to suffer no matter what, and the two took care of their only daughter and gradually grew up.

Yan King Li Zhong shook his head, he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, and wondered how Li Jiangbei had such a great magic power to fascinate his baby daughter?

The princess has been thinking about Li Qingmei's marriage, and said: "Master, after the New Year, Qingmei will be seventeen, and she should also set a marriage for her, so as to accept her temperament." ”

Li Zhong, the king of Yan, held his forehead, very helpless: "You know better about that girl's temperament than your husband, she just admitted that Li Jiangbei was killed." ”

"What? It's all at this time, and you're still worried about Li Jiangbei's identity? The princess was a little puzzled, "I think this kid in Jiangbei is very good, he is willing to fight, I heard that he has made meritorious achievements on the side of the border army, which is a hundred times better than the seed brothers of many generals in Youzhou City, not to mention his royal brother." ”

Li Zhong, the king of Yan, stood up and paced slowly: "It's not that the husband can't see Li Jiangbei's excellence, but the imperial brother's attitude towards that family is always unknown, and it's not easy to handle." ”

"Still not easy to handle? How many years has it been? The princess frowned.

King Yan spread his hands, becoming more and more helpless: "The emperor's fate is unpredictable!" ”

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed in in a hurry, and reported in a panic: "Lord Wang, the county lord is back!" ”

Not long after the housekeeper finished speaking, the Yan Wang couple saw Li Qingmei, and the county lord of Qingmei, whose eyes were red and swollen, deliberately avoided the two, and turned around directly to make a detour to the bedroom. The princess also immediately walked to the front with broken steps, looked at Li Qingmei's lost soul in distress, and asked repeatedly. But as a result, the more they asked, the more depressed Li Qingmei's expression became, and even left tears later, which made Yan Wang and his wife anxious, and the two didn't dare to continue to ask the reason, just a strong comfort, and it took a long time for her to recover, and to try out a little rumor.

It turned out that Li Qingmei caught up with the angry Song Zhi after pushing Duan Pingsheng away, no matter how she explained, Song Zhi, who was angry, chose to ignore it, after all, seeing is believing and hearing is false, seeing the two hugging and hugging with her own eyes, and it was such a shameless posture, which directly made Song Zhi block all Li Qingmei's explanations. Her face was always cold, if she hadn't cared about Li Qingmei's identity, she would have let the guards blast her out of the mansion a long time ago.

In the end, Li Qingmei, who had no other choice, could only leave the palace pitifully, and even didn't want the horse she rode when she came, and walked back to the palace directly.

Li Zhong, the king of Yan, who understood the general passage, looked weird, it stands to reason that Song Zhi is not such a person who does not listen to explanations? How can it be simply determined that Qingmei has an affair with Li Jiangnan? King Yan, who is usually busy, naturally has no time to inquire about the affairs of King Wuyou's mansion, so he doesn't know about Song Zhi's change in Duan Pingsheng's mentality. Seeing Li Qingmei's unyielding appearance, Li Zhong, the king of Yan, immediately decided: "After lunch, rest for a while, and your father will personally take you to see Mrs. Xuanhua!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Qingmei was slightly stunned, her eyes were red and swollen, and she thought that her father was going to make trouble in Wuyou Palace, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Father, don't be angry, it's all a misunderstanding." ”

Yan Wangxin said, why is my daughter so stupid? You have to be dedicated to marrying Li Jiangbei! And his original intention was not to ask the teacher, so he had to explain: "If my father comes forward, I can explain to Mrs. Xuanhua, besides, you are not too young, girl, you should always get engaged and take care of it, and today is over, just talk about this matter by the way, and when Li Jiangbei comes back from the border pass, he will hold a banquet in the palace and get engaged for you." ”

"Huh?"

Shocked twice before and after, Li Qingmei's true mentality was completely different, hearing her father's words, she immediately turned from sadness to joy, dimples appeared on her pink cheeks again, and she said with some embarrassment: "People's ...... People aren't ready yet......"

"Not ready yet? I don't think your soul will come back! The princess lovingly twisted Li Qingmei's nose and said pretendingly, "Since you don't mean this now, well, your father doesn't have to bother to speak!" ”

Li Qingmei immediately came to her senses, shook her head and immediately threw herself into the princess's arms, and complained sullenly: "The mother concubine teased others, so ...... I'm sorry for my father. ”

When King Yan and the princess saw Li Qingmei's youngest daughter, they smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly beckoned her to dine together.

……

On the side of Wuyou Wangfu, Song Zhi was uneasy, he only felt that the delicacies in front of him were tasteless, and after eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and kept recalling what he saw this morning. After Li Qingmei left, Song Zhi saw her lonely appearance and wondered if she had misunderstood her, and she carefully recalled the scene she saw in the room at that time, and contacted the explanation of the lord of Qingmei, it seemed that the truth was indeed not what she thought.

So...... Did the palace wronged Li Qingmei?

The more Song Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that he was thinking too much, and he had messed up good things, and he had to think about things that were obviously unnecessary, and he had to think about them very seriously, and when he thought about it, it was very ridiculous. What kind of character is Li Jiangnan, how could he be in the eyes of the lord of Qingmei? What's more, the two won't meet for two more days, no matter how watery Yang Hua Li is, it is impossible for Li Qingmei to hook up with him so quickly.

Bah! What is Hongu thinking? Qingmei is the future daughter-in-law of this palace, how can she be involved in such filthy words?

Mrs. Xuanhua shook her head slightly, and finally realized her mistake, and then she panicked, seeing that the big thing was about to happen, just waiting for Li Jiangbei to return from the border pass, but the good thing that had become a foregone conclusion was muddyed by her own hands, if the lord of Qingmei really had a gap with Jiangbei because of this, and did not want to get married, then she really couldn't even find a place to cry.

What should I do?

Song Zhi paced again and again, and was seen by the big butler Shen Gong, only to feel that there was no general, this lady was just a vase, good-looking is good-looking, but her stomach was empty, and she couldn't get a big idea, at this time, looking at Duan Pingsheng, Shen Gong felt that the prince was more and more like a prince, don't look at his trick of promising to buy people's hearts with heavy money is very clichΓ©, but at this juncture, the more real money and silver, the more it can move people's hearts, if Duan Pingsheng can fulfill his promise as soon as possible, I am afraid that the palace guards will have a big turmoil.

The torment time is always long, Song Zhi thought about it, there can only be one solution, that is, to go to the Yanwang Mansion in person to ask for guilt, but she still needs some face from a woman's family, if this matter spreads, the chastity archway she worked so hard to get will probably be broken.

Therefore, Song Zhi became more and more disgusted with Duan Pingsheng's existence, and her murderous intent could no longer be concealed, but for the sake of the general's plan, she had to hide her murderous intent, so she had to find another way. Suddenly, the poisonous woman's eyes lit up, what if the waste person was completely turned into a waste person? Anyway, that rumor did not require that he must practice martial arts, as long as Li Jiangnan's martial arts foundation was abolished, then he probably would no longer have the idea of competing with this palace.

It's just that how to do it, you still need to think carefully, Song Zhi deliberately split the Shen Palace, called the new deputy commander of the palace to him, and asked for his opinion. Lu Jiang, the deputy commander, was born in the palace, dressed as a typical martial artist, with strong limbs, terrifying momentum, square face, and firm eyebrows, Lu Jiang heard Song Zhi's thoughts, frowned slightly, he was a little disgusted with Song Zhi's vicious tricks, but he was in his position as his master, so he could only speak: "Madam, this matter cannot be done by the people in the mansion, let alone make a noise." ”

Song Zhi nodded lightly, no matter what, that wasted man is in the name of the prince, if the news leaks, he will definitely be criticized.

Lu Jiang saw Song Zhi's face showing approval, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly had a livelihood in his heart: "Madam, there is still a Qingluan disciple living in the palace. ”

"You mean Lu Chengfeng?" Song Zhi frowned slightly, Lu Jiang was a martial artist from the Qingluan Palace, and he was related to Lu Chengfeng, so she didn't mind anything, but the key was how to deal with the white-clothed shadow guard, with him next to Duan Pingsheng, even if there were ten more Lu Chengfeng, it would be useless.

Lu Jiang wanted to continue to explain, but the second housekeeper Cui Dongzhuang suddenly came to report, and Li Zhong, the king of Yan, and his wife and the county lord Li Qingmei came together. When Mrs. Xuanhua heard this, she was shocked, and subconsciously thought that King Yan was coming to ask for an explanation for her daughter, so she could only temporarily send Lu Jiang away and hurried to the main gate to greet her. The deputy commander watched Song Zhi leave in a hurry, his eyes moved slightly, and he walked to the courtyard where Lu Chengfeng was.

Along the way, Song Zhi was beating a drum in his heart, the most unprovoked person in Youzhou City was Li Zhong, the king of Yan, don't look at Gu Hao, the assassin of Youzhou, is a candidate for the prince of the feudal territory, but after all, he still has to be a few heads shorter than King Yan, after all, this prince has to eat at the same table with His Majesty several times a year.

Li Jiangnan! It's all your shit!

Song Zhi kept cursing Duan Pingsheng in her heart, and to her surprise, Li Zhong, the king of Yan, did not look as gloomy as she imagined, and the princess was even more smiling and pulling with her, as for Li Qingmei, she hid behind the king of Yan, looking at her secretly, looking at her without hatred but very shy.

Belch?

Could it be that things will turn around?

Hurriedly welcomed the Yan Wang family into the lobby, and when she heard it, Song Zhi immediately smiled, she was worried about how to get through the Yan Wang's way, but today the good thing came to the door in person! For a long time, Song Zhi had fantasized about taking the big ship of Yanwangfu, and today it has finally come to fruition! Song Zhi was quite glad to thank Shangcang, his son Li Jiangbei was so good, so that Li Qingmei was so desperate.

Regarding King Yan's request, Song Zhi did not agree, and the explanation was that he had misunderstood, and personally ordered Cui Dongzhuang to call Duan Pingsheng, apologize for Li Qingmei, and return the Panlong Strange Stone by the way. However, the chubby Cui Er housekeeper said: "The prince left the palace in the afternoon, as if he had gone to Zhenlong Pavilion. ”

King Yan waved his hand: "Since it was a misunderstanding, there is no need to apologize, as for that stone, it is nothing more than an ordinary object, I see that King Wuyou has some research, so I simply gave it to him." ”

Li Qingmei was a little unhappy when she heard that her father took it upon himself to give things away, but she didn't say anything to defend herself, because the lord of Qingmei now hates Duan Pingsheng to death and doesn't want to touch everything he has touched again.

"Come on, come on, mother-in-law!" Yan King Li Zhong laughed, "Let's take a good count, how should this engagement banquet be handled?" ”

Mrs. Xuanhua nodded with a smile, but she couldn't help but think in her heart, no matter what, that scourge must be removed!
