Chapter 415: Entering the Li Mansion
The old clan uncle looked at the Marquis of Changping, hated iron and said: "Old family, have you forgotten, how did our Li family be marginalized?" It's because of Empress Dowager Zhong! ”
Stomping on the crutches, the old clan uncle said again: "When the Empress Dowager Zhong was in charge, your father tried his best to oppose it, but the errand was pushed to the end, and our Li family disappeared from then on. Empress Dowager Zhong is not an ordinary woman, don't look at her for many years, but once she intervenes, she can turn the world upside down. ”
Marquis Changping remembered the iron-blooded Empress Dowager Zhong back then, and he also had a little palpitations.
"Uncle Jiu, what do you mean?"
The old clan uncle sighed and said, "The children are friendly with the six princes, and it is his creation. Until Empress Dowager Zhong does not express her position, we cannot stand in line. Do not seek merit, but seek no fault. ”
Changping Hou was a little anxious when he heard this, glanced at the third and fourth rooms, and was about to refute it, but the old clan uncle said again.
"As for the Li family's daughter, my opinion is that it should be clever and not too heavy on the upside down. Especially the Duan family is clearly vying for the position of the sixth princess, we have no advantage, so let's see if we can retain the hearts of the people. ”
Marquis Changping understood, what the old uncle meant was that if the daughter of the Li family wanted to be a concubine, she would have to wait until the sixth prince became the prince.
But now you can let your daughter have more contact with the six princes, and her reputation and favor must be at least the same. In this way, you can get the most benefits.
"Uncle Nine, I have already arranged it, and the sixth prince of Ming'er will definitely surprise him. It's just that I'm a little worried, it's rumored that the sixth prince has a soft spot for Princess Mingzhu, will we be self-defeating? ”
The old clan uncle waved his hand, not caring and said, "This is just a rumor." But if Princess Mingzhu has a trace of affection for the six princes, the position of the six princesses, with the Empress Dowager Zhong here, no one wants to fight. ”
Li Qingyi whispered: "Ninth Master, the sixth prince likes Princess Mingzhu. ”
"Silly child, no matter how likable Princess Mingzhu is, she also spent the night alone with Xiao Yao. It is impossible for the six princes to still put her at the top of their hearts, not to mention that Xiao Yao has such a close relationship with the six princes. ”
Li Qingyi did not agree with the statements of the Ninth Master and the Marquis of Changping, but his tongue was unfavorable, and he couldn't say a reason to refute it.
I can only watch the others reach a consensus, and I don't know how to stand in line for the sake of safety, but I have to find a way to push the daughter of the Li family in front of the six princes.
When Li Qingyi got up early the next morning, her mind was still muddy, and she was still thinking about today.
As soon as she changed into a new royal blue brocade robe and tied up her hair crown, Li Qingyi was invited to the main courtyard. Listen to the Changping Marquis and his wife arrange today's affairs, which requires his cooperation.
Looking at the younger sisters dressed up in different ways, he looked at himself with anticipation in his eyes.
Li Qingyi wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to acquiesce.
At three o'clock, the six princes of the secret guard group came to the gate of the Marquis of Changping. saw Xiao Yao, who was dressed in a dark green brocade robe, already waiting at the door.
Marquis Changping and his family came out of the wide open middle gate, and saluted: "Xia Guan has seen the six princes, and the six princes have come to the cold house, which is really brilliant. ”
Yan Rongling smiled and helped Changping Hou up, and said loudly: "Changping Hou doesn't need to be polite, this time I came with Xiao Yao to make friends with Qingyi, and I really don't need to raise the teacher and move the crowd." ”
Li Qingyi stepped forward and arched his hand: "It's just that the status of the six princes is noble, and my Li family can't wait to meet each other." ”
"Qingyi, when you say this, I am really embarrassed to disturb Xiao Yao."
Xiao Yao smiled, looked at them coldly and refused for a while, and then smiled: "Sixth prince, Marquis Changping, everyone is welcome, let's go in first." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The six princes, the Marquis of Yingyi, please inside! ”
Marquis Changping hurriedly welcomed the six princes and Xiao Yao in, and first came to the main hall to sit down and let people serve tea.
Yan Rongling is wearing a lilac python suit today, which makes her even more majestic and extraordinary. The Marquis of Changping only communicated with him for a while, and he was already impressed by him.
Li Qingyi received the look of the Marquis of Changping and said, "Uncle, the six princes and senior brothers are all here because of personal friendship, why don't you let me take them around the garden?" ”
"In this way, then you have to entertain the six princes and the Marquis of Yingyi, you can mention anything you need to your eldest aunt, don't neglect the guests."
When Changping Hou sang and harmonized like this, Li Qingyi's face was slightly red, and he said according to the original plan: "Yes, uncle." I have already told my aunt that the best place in our garden is in the Listening Rain Pavilion. The luncheon is set up in the rain listening pavilion, where you can enjoy the scenery and eat at the same time. ”
"Okay, since you have already arranged it, the six princes, I will retire first, so as not to disturb your gathering."
Marquis Changping was very satisfied with Li Qingyi's performance, bowed and retreated, and went to arrange follow-up matters. Xiao Yao thought about everything, looked at Li Qingyi, whose forehead was beginning to sweat, and didn't say anything.
Instead, it was Yan Rongling who took the initiative to say: "Qingyi, you have a very good arrangement like this. Let's go and see the garden of the Marquis of Changping's mansion. ”
The group left the main hall, turned into the moon gate from the corridor, and entered the back garden, this road is bright and sunny in spring, and the scenery is very beautiful.
"Qingyi, I heard that the Li family in Shangli was famous for gardening at the earliest, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. This garden has three steps and one scene, five steps and one painting, and the arrangement is unique and very beautiful. ”
Yan Rongling's praise, Li Qingyi blushed with shame, and said again and again: "The sixth prince praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be it." ”
"Xiao Yao, you see that he doesn't believe it, you come and say."
Yan Rongling suddenly threw the words to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao thought for a moment, and said, "Little junior brother, what the six princes said is very true, and it is not exaggerated. The scenery in this garden is really chic, even compared to the Suzhou garden, it is not inferior. ”
Li Qingyi was relieved at this time, believing that the six princes were not sought after.
While smiling and taking them to the rain pavilion, he introduced the scenery and various allusions on the roadside.
When they came to a crape myrtle tree that was more than 600 years old, everyone was amazed.
"Qingyi, this crape myrtle vase is really beautiful, is it born like this, or is it pruned the day after tomorrow?"
Yan Rongling especially likes one, a crape myrtle tree in the shape of a vase, and circled around it twice. The tree was six feet tall and meandered into a treasure vase, and Yan Rongling couldn't help but reach out and scratch the trunk of the crape myrtle tree.
The crape myrtle tree trembled slightly, like a young girl, shyly smiling with flowers.
Li Qingyi introduced: "This crape myrtle vase was born with a peculiar nature, and the ancestors pruned it slightly, and it became what it is now. ”
"Not bad, not bad. With this vase of crape myrtle, it can be seen that the Marquis of Changping has a long history and rich heritage. ”
Yan Rongling was full of praise, and the more she talked with Li Qingyi, the more she surrendered.
Xiao Yao walked behind and sighed slightly, the little junior disciple has a simple temperament, these must be the arrangements of Changping Hou.
I just don't know, what kind of show will the Li family arrange?
