Chapter 188

Banquet at the Prince's Mansion (I)

After eating, the two wandered around the street for a while.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Chu Rong took a carriage to send Song Li back to the Guogong Mansion.

After saying goodbye to Chu Rong, Song Li slowly walked on the way back to the courtyard, a familiar breath came, her heart sank, and she glanced at Bei Yuanhe, who was slowly walking towards her, and buried her head to speed up her feet.

"Why does Li'er want to hide when she sees me?"

Bei Yuanhe walked quickly in front of Song Li, raised his hand to block Song Li's way, and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because you hate it!" Song Li said without hesitation, his eyes instantly sank, "Get out of the way!" She looked at the arm that Bei Yuanhe stopped in front of her, and suddenly sighed in a deep voice.

"I have something to talk to you about."

Bei Yuanhe didn't stop, but looked at her seriously.

"If you have something to say, let it go!"

Song Li squinted at Bei Yuanhe, she didn't believe that he had anything serious.

Sure enough, I saw a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he stepped forward half a step forward and sniffed at Song Li, smelling the breath that belonged to Chu Rong on Song Li's body, and the smile on the corner of his mouth instantly sank.

"You were with Chu Rong just now?"

He squinted at Song Li and asked in a dangerous tone.

"Something to do with you?"

Looking at Bei Yuanhe's appearance, Song Li only felt unusually funny, who is she with, and if she can't be with, she still has to get his consent?

"Of course it does!" Bei Yuanhe snorted heavily, his face instantly became ugly, his eyes kept looking back and forth at Song Li, and he said in a low voice: "Don't forget that we still have a marriage contract now!" ”

Song Li immediately burst out laughing.

"Bei Yuanhe, I really doubt that you have something wrong with your brain." She smiled and shook her head and said funny, "Where did we get married?" ”

"Blood ......"

Looking at Song Li's smiling face like a flower, Bei Yuanhe's face instantly showed a little displeasure, and as soon as he opened his mouth to spit out a word, he was interrupted by Song Li's impatient wave, "Don't talk about the blood jade vine, I said that I will pay you back, and I will pay you back, as for marrying you, don't think about it, unless I die, otherwise I can't marry you, understand?" ”

As she said word by word, she saw that Bei Yuanhe's expression suddenly dimmed.

"Why?"

He stared at Song Li unwillingly, his voice a little hoarse.

"No why, I don't like you, is this reason okay?"

She looked at Bei Yuanhe's eyes without squinting, and said without humility or arrogance.

"Because of Chu Rong?"

Bei Yuanhe stared at Song Li deadly, as if he would not give up without asking clearly.

"Even if there is no Chu Rong, I will not marry you." Song Li said lightly, raised his eyes and looked around, "This is my home, here is my family, and the maids who grew up with me since childhood, I can't let go." ”

She retracted her gaze and looked at Bei Yuanhe seriously, "Do you understand? ”

Bei Yuanhe's expression flashed for a moment of loneliness, and he looked at Song Li and opened his mouth as if he had something to say.

But Song Li didn't give him a chance to speak, "I will pay you back the blood jade vine, don't mention it again after the marriage, you should also understand at the banquet today that the emperor will not let me marry Beiliang, you should die of this heart as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Bei Yuanhe to speak, she directly bypassed Bei Yuanhe and left.

Bei Yuanhe stretched out his hand as if he wanted to hold Song Li, but in the end he lowered his hand and let Song Li walk by.

It wasn't until the footsteps behind him could no longer be heard that he slowly turned around and looked in the direction of Song Li's courtyard.

"It seems that the Great Wizard is right, even if I see you, I can't bring you back, but I'm still a little unwilling......"

His eyes flickered and he whispered.

But there was no one around, only the sound of the wind answering him.

Tomorrow is Chu Tianfeng's birthday, and after Song Li returned to the courtyard, he first checked the gifts to be given tomorrow, and then went to wash.

She sat in the tub, her head resting lightly on the rim of the bucket, her thick black hair hanging down from the bucket, and the steaming heat enveloped her in it as if she were in a fairyland.

Under the white mist, the look on her face was a little invisible.

She thought back to what had happened today, and her mind was in turmoil.

Why did Bei Yuanhe insist on marrying her, because of a last word? She didn't believe it.

If it was really because of a last word, it would be nice to return the blood jade vine, but Bei Yuanhe didn't seem to be very willing, but really wanted to marry her.

What is the reason for marrying her?

Like? She didn't believe it either.

She and Bei Yuanhe have only met twice before and after, the first time they fought even more, and they didn't say a word, this time they met before and after a day, how did they like it, Bei Yuanhe has never seen anything stunning as the Baoning King of Beiliang, how could he be shaken because of her?

and used her little Song Li in exchange for a hundred years of friendship between the two countries, such attractive conditions, why didn't Emperor Tianxuan agree?

Is it really as he said he likes to give up?

She still didn't believe it.

She doesn't think she's a heartthrob, but even Emperor Tianxuan likes to be reluctant to marry her.

She thought, sighing tiredly, since returning to Beijing, it seems that many things have developed in an uncontrolled direction.

The poisoning has not been fruitful, and the most important part of the memory has not been recovered, and now it is involved in the marriage contract.

Also, why did Ye Zilan get mixed up with Qin Yichen again.

Why do you want to help her recover her memory?

She regained her memory, what benefits can Ye Zilan get?

Nan Miao and Tianxuan are tens of thousands of miles apart, and there should be no entanglement between them, but they are inexplicably entangled together......

And Ye Zun.

Prince Nan Miao, the most important person in Nan Miao except for the emperor, sent an envoy to Tianxuan Capital just to congratulate Emperor Tianxuan on his birthday.

Is it simple to celebrate your birthday?

Or is there some intent?

There is also a clear void.

Chu Rong had the blood jade vine in his hand, he couldn't have known it, but why did he break into the Beiliang Palace to rob it, and finally provoked a commotion.

In the eight years since she and Qingxu, she has traveled through large and small countries such as Beiliang, Yunqin, and Nanmiao.

With all the entanglements big and small, is it unintentional or intentional?

Now calm down and think about it, she seems to have a certain connection with the places Qingxu has been to and the people she has met in the past eight years.

Bei Yuanhe, the king of Beiliang Baoning, was just a prince before he was crowned king two years ago, and he became the prince of Beiliang Bao in two years.

Ye Zun, three years ago, was just an unfavored prince, and in three years, he became an existence above 10,000 people under Nan Miao.

Chu Zeting too.

Thinking back to the situation carefully, Qingxu seemed to have expected to meet Chu Zeting, and deliberately took her to take a detour to the place where Chu Zeting was injured at that time, and rescued Chu Zeting who was dying, was this a coincidence or Qingxu's intention?

"Miss, haven't you washed yet? Do you want to add some hot water for you, be careful if the water is cold and you get sick. ”

Yingyue's voice rang out outside the house, interrupting her thoughts.

She slowly opened her eyes, and with Yingyue's reminder, she realized that the water was indeed a little cold.

I don't know how long she's been out of god.

"No need."

She spoke to the door, stood up from the tub, and took the clothes from the screen and got dressed.

"Come in."

Walking to the door, she opened the door, looked at the few people waiting at the door, whispered a word, and turned back into the house.

Cai Wei Jinse quickly carried the bath bucket out, and Yingyue was wiping the water from her hair with a handkerchief.

A faint scent of osmanthus enters the nose.

She glanced sideways slightly, and saw Yingyue holding a white porcelain vase and picking out a cake-like thing with her fingers and rubbing it into her hair.

"What is this?"

She glanced at it, slowly withdrew her gaze and stared at Fang Liang and asked curiously.

"This is a hair cream sent by Miss Three."

Yingyue explained, and quickly smeared the hair cream in her hand evenly on Song Li's hair.

After everything was done, Song Li lay down, Yingyue cut the oil lamp and retreated.

She closed her eyes and was just about to go to bed when a faint sound of wind came to her ears, followed by a familiar figure standing beside her bed.

"Why are you here?"

She glanced at the person next to the bed lightly, and asked unhurriedly, her voice not showing a trace of emotion.

"Just came back to see you after a busy day."

The man whispered, his voice a little hoarse and low, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

"Tomorrow is Erlang's birthday."

Seeing that Song Li didn't speak, the man spoke again.

Song Li hummed softly, and then said tiredly: "I'm a little tired and go to bed first, you go back and rest early." ”

Listening to Song Li's distant and cold words, the man frowned slightly, and the moonlight shining through the window fell on the man's face, illuminating his delicate facial features.

"Xiao Ion, why are you still separated from me after not seeing you for a long time?"

Gu Shaoqing's stubble lips pursed slightly, and he whispered with a dark expression.

"No, I'm really tired."

Song Li turned his back to Gu Shaoqing and said softly.

Ever since he knew that the Gu on Chu Rong's body was from Gu Shaoqing's handwriting, he didn't know how to face Gu Shaoqing.

She really didn't dare to imagine that her childhood sweetheart, who had no guesses, had already done things for Emperor Tianxuan when she was more than ten years old.

"Okay, then you get some rest early."

There was a hint of disappointment in Gu Shaoqing's words, he nodded lightly, slowly turned around and pushed the door out.

"Master Gu, why are you in my young lady's house?"

Yingyue had just finished preparing to go back to the house to rest, and looked at Gu Shaoqing who walked out of Song Li's house, and was dumbfounded.

Gu Shaoqing didn't pay attention to Yingyue, just glanced at her lightly and left.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Seeing Gu Shaoqing leave without saying a word, Yingyue walked to the window and asked in a low voice.

"I'm fine, you can rest early, and I have to go to the prince's mansion for a banquet tomorrow."

Song Li whispered, and suddenly exhaled faintly, she gathered the quilt on her body, wrapped herself tightly, threw away the messy thoughts in her mind, and closed her eyes.

She had no dreams all night, and woke up early the next morning.

After the washing, she took Song Yunzhen and Pan to the prince's mansion in a carriage with the prepared gifts.

When I came to the Prince's Mansion, there were already many people in the Prince's Mansion.

Song Li took out the gift list from his arms and handed it to the housekeeper.

The butler read aloud the list and had them led in.

In the front yard, a group of sons and brothers were drinking tea, Song Li secretly glanced at Chu Rong's figure and didn't find it, and couldn't help but ask curiously to the maid who led the way: "Hasn't Chu Rong come yet?" ”

"Back to Miss Song, Chu Shizi sent someone to deliver the message earlier and said that he would come later."

The maidservant whispered.

Song Li nodded and slowly withdrew his gaze.

The backyard is a bit more lively than the frontyard.

The sound of warbler-like laughter echoed throughout the backyard, and a group of girls dressed up in flowers and branches were gathering together to whisper, laughing from time to time.

"Crown Princess, Miss Song is here."

As soon as the maidservant's words were remembered, the courtyard instantly fell silent.

Everyone seemed to have a heart in their hearts, and they all stopped and looked at Song Li.

Song Li is now a celebrity.

First, the matter with Chu Rong caused a storm in the city.

Later, I don't know why the person who followed Chu Rong became Bai Yuyan, and just when everyone speculated that Chu Rong and Song Li parted ways, the two resolved the conflict and reconciled again, I don't know how many people's jaws were shocked.

What's even more surprising is that at the banquet for the envoys of Beiliang, King Baoning of Beiliang actually stood up and threatened to marry Song Li as the princess, and even proposed to exchange Song Li for a hundred years of friendship between the two countries.

Although this matter has not yet come to fruition, it still makes everyone a little relieved.

After thinking about it, it seems that Song Li has not been calm since he returned to the capital.

One incident after another happened, and it was all related to Song Li.

Even Emperor Tianxuan said that he liked her and was reluctant to let her marry Bei Liang, but he rejected Bei Yuanhe's request.
