Li Jinyao proudly looked at Li Jinshu, who also looked puzzled, and said, "Second sister still doesn't know?" I thought you already knew, so you didn't care about preparing for the tangram festival, and played in the garden with the little master every day. ”

After speaking, the deliberately sold Guan shut up and drank tea slowly.

Green Calyx hurriedly said, "Which family is it?" Why don't we know? ”

Li Jinyao drank enough tea, looked at the eager appearance of the people in the room, and then said, "Second sister doesn't know any news? I also heard my mother talk about it by chance, saying that it was proposed by the second lady to the old lady, and the third young master of the Cui family, the second lady's mother's family, is at the age of saying kiss, and wants the second sister to be married to the past, kiss and kiss. ”

Green Calyx became even more anxious when she heard this, and blurted out: "That prodigal, he is also worthy of marrying my young lady!" ”

Li Jinshu drank lightly: "Green calyx, be cautious." ”

Li Jinyao gloated and said, "Green Calyx, you can't talk nonsense, what's wrong with the third young master of the Cui family?" The Cui family is also a big family, and the third young master is also a descendant, although he is a little more attentive, but when the second sister marries, he must be able to accept his temperament. What's more, I heard that there are already a lot of concubines in the courtyard of the third young master, and it is also a beautiful thing that the second sister has so many people to serve her when she marries. Besides, the Cui family's housewife has always been strict in governing the family, and the second sister doesn't need to manage the family business when she goes, isn't it a lot easier, our Li family is already related to the Cui family, so it is most suitable to be close to each other. ”

Li Jinshu sneered in her heart, the stern mother-in-law, the unobtrusive father-in-law, a bunch of concubines, and the position of a powerless wife, it is really a good fire pit, if it weren't for her identity as a concubine with no foundational background, it would not be her turn.

When the green calyx heard this, her face turned white: "The old lady agreed?" ”

Li Jinyao said: "Not yet, but when I heard that the second lady said it, the old lady did not object, and asked Mrs. Cui to come to the house as a guest after the Tangram Festival." ”

This is eight or nine do not leave ten, the green calyx turned his head and was about to leave: "The slave maid went to beg the old lady, our young lady can't marry her, the slave maid knelt in the yard and kowtowed, if the old lady didn't agree, the slave and maid wouldn't get up." ”

Li Jinshu dragged her back: "What's the hurry, if it's really settled, it's useless for you to beg." ”

Li Jinyao stared at the box in Lu Calyx's arms and said: "The second sister is really not shocked, but this marriage is a major event in a woman's life, but she can't be sloppy, if she misses the opportunity, if it is really decided, the second sister will have no room for regret." ”

Li Jinshu asked her, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

Li Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled: "The old lady has always loved me the most, if I go to intercede for the second sister, and then tell me in detail about the unbearable deeds of the third young master of the Cui family, the old lady will consider canceling this family business." ”

Li Jinshu deliberately asked, "What kind of remuneration do the four sisters want?" ”

"You and I are sisters, how to talk about the reward, the second sister only needs to lend me this chain, and in a few days, I will return it."

"Oh~" Li Jinshu said in a slow voice: "Then forget it, don't bother the fourth sister." With that, let the green calyx put the box away.

Li Jinyao hurriedly said: "Why is the second sister so ignorant, if there is no intercession from me, you will marry in the second half of your life, but it will be ruined." ”

Li Jinshu looked at her, as if she was thinking about it.

Li Jinyao stood up, stepped forward and snatched the box from the green calyx's arms, hugged it tightly in her arms, and said: "I really think about the second sister, the second sister should not lose a big one because of a small one, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes." ”

Li Jinshu refused again: "Forget it, you are just a young lady in the boudoir, how can you persuade the second lady to talk about the marriage." Give me the necklace. ”

Li Jinyao refused to put the box down, and was about to go out with her legs raised: "This chain second sister is of little use, so you should lend it to me." ”

Li Jinshu sat still, not in a hurry, but just asked her: "Is the fourth sister going to snatch it again?" ”

Li Jinyao walked out without looking back: "What's the matter!" ”

Green Calyx stretched out her hand to block it, but was flashed by Li Jinyao, seeing her out of the house, Green Calyx hurriedly wanted to catch up.

But I heard a sound in the courtyard, and Li Jinyao screamed "ah".

The master and servant in the house went out to take a look, and saw Li Jinyao in the courtyard lying on the ground, covering her arms, and the box that was originally held in her arms was held by Li Jinyu who was standing.

The boyish face turned red: "This is my sister's, why do you want to rob it!" ”

Although the young man was small, the force of the push was like a calf, and Li Jinyao fell to the ground before he could react.

Li Jinyao stood up and stretched out her hand to ask: "Give it to me!" ”

"Don't give it!" The boy was furious, holding the box and refusing to move.

Li Jinyao's eyes rolled and said to Li Jinshu: "If you give me the necklace, this matter will be fine, if you don't give it to me, I will go to my mother and the old lady to complain, saying that you are not strict in disciplining your younger brother, pushing your sister, and severely punishing you two when the time comes." ”

Li Jin shouted angrily: "You wicked person sue first!" ”

He was about to rush up, but was stopped by the green calyx.

Li Jinyao raised her head, her eyes glared and said: "Second sister, you can think about it carefully, at this time, more things are better than less things, I am not afraid of making trouble with the old lady anyway, but you are different, now you are being said to be pro, and you are bored by the old lady, and this family matter is even more beneficial." What's more, when the time comes, he will be punished if he doesn't respect his sister, and he will have to be punished as well. ”

Li Jinshu squinted his eyes, as if smiling: "Since you want this chain like this, take it." ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Jinyu shouted: "Sister! ”

"Give it to her."

Li Jinyao was like a victorious peacock, swaggering up to Li Jinyu, snatching the box, and happily walking out of the yard.

The young man in the courtyard bit his lip, and he didn't have the intention of playing, looked at the box that was getting farther and farther away, and secretly swore in his heart: "When I grow up, I will never let my sister be so wronged again!" ”

The dispute between the sisters is not worth mentioning for the adults who have a lot of opportunities.

Li Chengqi, the second master of the Li family, sat in the study, thinking about major matters related to his official career.

Mrs. Cui said on the side: "Now that the second prince is powerful, the call for being made the crown prince is the highest, my mother's Cui family has always stood under the camp of the second prince, if the lord does not show his heart now, I am afraid of missing the opportunity." If I can marry Li Jinshu to the Cui family and let my two families get close to each other, my brother will definitely help the master to speak in front of the second prince. ”

Li Chengqi nodded: "Jinshu is also ready, so let's decide." ”

The second lady said again: "It's just ...... My sister-in-law has other considerations, if Jinshu marries, she can only be allowed to be a concubine. ”

Li Chengqi was stunned: "Is it a concubine?" This is not appropriate, how can I say that Jinshu is the daughter of the long house of my Li Mansion. ”

The second lady persuaded: "Master, as long as Jinshu marries, it will not affect my brother to speak for the master." ”

Li Chengqi no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, after the Tangram Festival, set a date and send people over." ”

What is the daughter of the long house, in front of his future and in front of the future of the Li family, they all have to give way.

Everyone has different thoughts, and the long-awaited royal tangram banquet has finally arrived.

The palace has been carefully decorated for half a month, and it is even more splendid and solemn.

As the master of the harem, the queen mother got up early in the morning with the service of the female officer, put on the cumbersome dragon dress, with the queen mother's unique golden branch phoenix pendant, and wore a phoenix crown made of night pearls.

"Niangniang is really radiant and radiant today." The female officer next to him praised.

The queen looked at the bronze mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

"How's the emperor's preparations?" The queen asked.

The eunuch who followed the queen mother replied: "Back to the queen mother, the emperor ...... is still in Su Guifei's incense hall, and she hasn't gotten up yet. ”

The bronze mirror clattered to the ground, and the sound reverberated on the ground and echoed in the inner room.

All the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly, but only one grandmother was still standing in place.

This grandmother is the queen has been serving by her side when she was in the boudoir, and she is the queen's confidant, and the mother opened her mouth to persuade: "Queen Mother, you are the master of the harem, why bother with a concubine, there are so many concubines who have come and gone over the years, which one can match you." This Concubine Su has just been promoted to a noble concubine, and the emperor is greedy for freshness, so she is just pampered for two more days, and the mother doesn't have to care. ”

The queen said coldly: "It's okay to be spoiled for two days, and the little concubine is not in the palace." But the emperor has been in the Xingning Incense Hall every day for more than a month, and she is blowing the pillow wind every day, and she is transferred back to her uncle who is stationed in the south of the palace, so that her brother Su Chengyi is promoted to a higher level, and she went to the south to become a feudal official! Their Su family is very majestic now! ”

The eunuch kneeling on the ground asked for instructions: "Niangniang, the time for the banquet has come, is it waiting for the emperor, or ......?"

The queen slapped the table and said, "What are you waiting for?" Today's Tangram Festival, all the children of the official family have entered the palace, do you want everyone to wait, leaving the royal family with a notoriety of not being punctual and indulging in wine! Let's go, Hongu will go first. ”

A group of palace maids and eunuchs followed the queen to the sedan chair and went towards the back garden of the banquet.

At this time, the ladies and sons in the garden were gathering in groups and talking to each other.

Three generations of ancestors, can always find some relationship with each other, the ladies are shy, the sons are modest, sometimes greet each other, sometimes talk about poetry and songs, a pleasant scene.

The vigorous vitality of the young people finally made the queen's mood better, and she remembered that when she first saw the emperor when she was young, it was also at this tangram banquet, when the emperor selected her as the future queen from her and Concubine Xue.

It was a moment that she remembered vividly, but unfortunately Concubine Xue still entered the palace with her family strength and robbed the emperor of his favor for several years.

Thinking of the days when she was suppressed by Concubine Xue, the queen was both hateful and proud.

Xue Yan's slut finally died in his own hands!

Wandering forward on the sedan chair again, the queen swept her eyes away from the girls.

Concubine Xue? The queen looked at a figure not far away, and her eyes widened in horror.

The woman who was admiring the flowers over there was wearing the pearl flower feather that Concubine Xue usually wore most often?

The flower feather is extremely dazzling, under the sunlight, the brilliance of the pearl is lined with the luxury of the flower feather, shining brightly.

Li Jinyao is very happy today, after finishing her makeup early in the morning and entering the palace with the Li family sisters, everywhere she passed, everyone's eyes were attracted by the flower feather pearl necklace around her neck, and their eyes fell on her, and the three Li family sisters behind her became a foil.

From time to time, there are official ladies who come to watch, and they all praise them.

From time to time, there are also handsome sons who pay attention to it, and the deer in the hearts of those who watch it collide with each other.

Li Jinyao glanced at Li Jinshu behind her, today's Li Jinshu was unusually silent, and her eyes sometimes crossed the necklace around her neck, with an unclear meaning.

She must be jealous! Li Jinyao thought to herself, if it weren't for her own discernment, she took this chain first, and she would have become herself who walked behind as a foil today.

Even if it's Li Jinshu's necklace, she doesn't have the life to wear such luxurious jewelry!

Li Jinyao proudly straightened her neck, making the necklace on her neck more dazzling in the sunlight.

She plucked a flower from the garden and put it in front of her and sniffed it, ah, it smelled so good!

Behind him, a cold inquiry came: "Who are you?" ”
