The annual Hundred Flowers Banquet held by the queen is approaching, and Li Qiuchi is naturally within the scope of the invitation, however, some people can't sit still.

The day before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Li Xingzhao came to the door.

In the room, Li Xingzhao sat opposite Li Qiuchi, took a sip of tea very restrainedly, and then said with a smile, "Qiu'er, I have something to ...... with you."

"Father rarely comes to visit Qiu'er, why don't you taste the best hair tips produced in Jiangnan first, I heard that the varieties are scarce, and it is very rare." Li Qiuchi blew on the tea lid and took a leisurely sip.

When Li Xingzhao heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and he hurriedly smiled: "Yes, it is indeed good tea, Qiu'er has a heart." ”

Li Qiuchi picked up the teacup, "Naturally, I don't have more heart than my father, so I came to see Qiu'er early in the morning, and when I said it, I was very moved by Qiu'er." ”

Hearing this half-sarcastic and half-casual tone, Li Xingzhao's face was a little unpleasant, and he drank tea in a sullen voice, "You are my own daughter, I will naturally miss you." ”

"Yes," Li Qiuchi drank the tea indifferently, "After all, we are flesh and blood, and my father comes to see Qiu'er from time to time, which makes Qiu'er very grateful." But what is my father here for? ”

Her words directly dominated, leaving Li Xingzhao with no room to play.

He laughed dryly, "Yao'er has been thinking about the Hundred Flowers Banquet for the past few days, I think that you are her sister after all, this little favor is not a big trouble, plus she has repented and her temperament has changed greatly, so I want to ask you to help her get a place to participate." ”

"It turned out to be for my sister's Hundred Flowers Banquet," Li Qiuchi suddenly spoke, but his tone was very yin and yang, which made Li Xingzhao a little uncomfortable when he heard it. But he thought that he had a request for her after all, so he endured it.

He smiled reluctantly: "Yes, it must be just a trivial matter for Qiu'er, right?" ”

Li Qiuchi lowered his head and smiled, "It's really a trivial matter. ”

Li Xingzhao suddenly saw hope, and he said excitedly: "I knew that Qiu'er was a woman who understood righteousness, and she would definitely not ......."

"But my father seems to have made a mistake," Li Qiuchi hooked his lips, his eyes cold. Li Xingzhao couldn't care about it so much, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I vaguely remember that A-Niang only gave birth to one child for me, and there has never been only one concubine in the Fuyang Marquis Mansion, where is there a sister?" Li Qiuchi tilted his head, his eyes even more confused.

Li Xingzhao's smile froze on his face, and he calmed down: "Li Qiuchi, don't be too ......"

"Oh, it turned out to be my sister." Li Qiuchi pretended to react, and then laughed coldly: "Since my sister is going to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she must also be a famous female dependent, so if she goes rashly without a name and no point, I am afraid that it will make people laugh." I also know that my sister has never obeyed my mother as a mother-in-law, so unless my sister kowtows three times in front of my mother's tablet and calls her mother-in-law, I am afraid that Qiu'er will not be able to do anything. ”

Li Xingzhao's face suddenly became ugly, "Qiu'er, do you have to press like this step by step?" It's been so long that you can't learn to let go? ”

"It's you who are pressing every step of the way, right," Li Qiuchi stood up and sneered, "You protect the Liu family, what did I say?" When they bullied me in the past, they never saw you make a show for me, and now if I just say a few words, my father will accuse me? ”

Li Xingzhao was speechless, his face turned red, and finally he simply said that he had something to say goodbye.

Fuyang Hou Mansion, Li Xingzhao relayed the original words to Li Luoyao with a gloomy face, and then his voice was cold, "The opportunity is already in front of you, if you don't want to, there is no way to be a father." ”

Li Luoyao wrung the corners of her clothes in embarrassment, her gloomy face looked ugly, she gritted her teeth and smiled: "Thank you father for going to the East Palace to pull down her face and plead with her sister, Yao'er is very grateful." ”

Li Luoyao didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, he remembered everything that happened in the East Palace just now, and his heart suddenly accumulated anger. But seeing that Li Luoyao was so sensible, he was relieved, and his tone suddenly became gentle, "I'm just going there for a trip, you don't have to have too much psychological burden." ”

On the ancestral hall, Lan's tablet is placed on the left, Li Luoyao was led by Liu to the Lan's tablet, the tablet made of red sandalwood has long been dusted, but it can still be vaguely engraved with Lan's and her life.

Li Luoyao was awkward, and when she looked at the tablet, her heart suddenly came up, why did she kneel down to worship this woman? looked resentful, "Mother, I don't want to kneel, it's a big deal that I can't participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, what's there to kneel into." ”

Liu poked her forehead in hatred, "Look at you, what are you talking about!" The Hundred Flowers Banquet is so important that the participants can get to know many famous families, and when the time comes, you may be able to seize the opportunity and soar to the sky! ”

Seeing that Li Luoyao's face was obviously shaken, she patted her head angrily, "Why are you stunned?" If you think about it, we endure humiliation and bear the burden of the past, and the future of you is bright, why not? Do you want to stay in this Hou Mansion for the rest of your life? ”

Li Luoyao was shaken by what she said, she gritted her teeth, knelt down directly, and shouted loudly: "Mother! ”

After saying that, she kowtowed three times.

In the afternoon, the people of the Fuyang Marquis Mansion reported to Li Qiuchi about Li Luoyao's kowtow to his mother-in-law, and Li Qiuchi had already gotten the news from the spies at this time, so when he heard their report, his eyes did not have a trace of waves.

Seeing that Li Qiuchi didn't react, Cuiyu frowned, "Miss, do you really want to invite the eldest lady to go?" Thinking of Li Luoyao's behavior before, her eyes showed disgust.

Li Qiuchi didn't care anymore, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was just a matter of one sentence, and this request was just to block Li Luoyao. "Since Li Luoyao has recognized her mother-in-law, let's invite her to go."

On the day of the banquet, Li Luoyao appeared outside the East Palace, waiting outside in a proper manner, looking very quiet. Li Qiuchi looked at her, and unexpectedly found that she was dressed this time in a rare and elegant manner, without the strange and charming flavor before, but it was unique.

Seeing Li Qiuchi out of the East Palace, she came over and saluted, "I've seen the crown princess." ”

Li Qiuchi looked at her a few more times in surprise, put aside the weirdness in his heart, and pretended to smile as if nothing happened, "My sister is dressed very plainly today. ”

Li Luoyao smiled flatly, "It was Luo Yao before, she was dressed too casually, which made the crown princess unhappy." ”

Li Qiuchi narrowed his eyes, smiled meaninglessly, didn't talk to her anymore, and got into a carriage beside him directly.
