Chapter 3: The Struggle of the Two Races

After Li Jiangwei and Li Yueran greeted each other, they returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard with Li Jiangyun. At this point, it can be regarded as truly relaxing.

I haven't returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard for a long time, as before, there has not been much change. As soon as she entered the room, Li Jiangwei sat on the couch, hugged the soft pillow on the couch, and sat crookedly.

"My sister won't leave when she comes back this time."

"Hmm. Not to go away for a short time. Li Jiangwei stared at Li Jiangyun with a smile and said, "How is the homework prepared?" Can you be sure? ”

"The teacher said that my knowledge is not difficult to pass the spring season. But if you want to earn a good position, it will be very difficult. If you can study since childhood like your second brother, your grades will be better. Li Jiangyun sat next to Li Jiangwei, patted Li Jiangwei's thigh, and asked, "What are my sister's plans in the future?" Are you going to live back in Qingxueyuan, or go to the county lord's mansion? ”

After that, without waiting for Li Jiangwei to reply, Li Jiangyun continued to take care of herself: "I think it's good to live in the county lord's mansion, at least it's clean." When my sister wants to write a manuscript, she doesn't have to worry about being disturbed. Now that my sister is eighteen years old, my father will definitely be thinking about my sister's marriage. ”

Li Jiangwei hurriedly sat up straight, pulled Li Jiangyun's sleeve, and asked anxiously, "Wait!" What did you just say? The county lord's mansion? ”

This time it was Li Jiangyun's turn to be shocked, "Sister doesn't know? Princess Heshou bought a three-entry house for you to be your county lord's mansion, in the same alley as the Qin Wang's mansion. ”

"This ......"

Neither Lu Jiangfeng nor Yu Yongyi mentioned this matter to her.

"What you said is true?"

"How can there be a fake? The whole capital knows it! ”

Frightened, Li Jiangwei threw away the soft pillow in her hand, and then looked out the window. The light outside the window is just right, and the warm sun shines through the lattice on the window, reflecting soft light and shadow on the ground.

"If that's the case...... It's not good to be lazy at home. It's ...... to go to the princess's mansion to say thank you."

Li Jiangwei got up and walked back and forth anxiously.

"Princess Heshou will be considerate of her sister, and it doesn't hurt to go back in two days."

"Nope." Li Jiangwei hurriedly shook her head, "While it's still early, I'll go now." If you don't return late, it is estimated that you will eat directly at the princess's mansion. Regardless of whether Princess Heshou will be considerate or not, the sooner we go as juniors, the better, which shows that we have her in our hearts and respect her! ”

Li Jiangwei said so, and Li Jiangyun couldn't stop her, so she could only help her sister prepare the carriage and horses, so that Li Jiangwei didn't have to worry about it.

At the urging of Li Jiangwei, the carriage finally drove to the front of the princess's mansion.

Li Jiangwei took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and waited for the words of the people under her with an indifferent and calm appearance. It wasn't until the princess's mansion came to greet them that she slowly and carefully left the carriage.

From beginning to end, she maintained the posture that elegant and graceful ladies should have.

Today's spring and Jingming are a good time to enjoy flowers and tea. Princess Wajucho is in the garden, strolling along the lake. Knowing that Li Jiangwei was coming, he walked to the small pavilion by the lake.

"People's girl Li Jiangwei, meet Princess Heshou."

Princess Heshou sighed twice, and pretended to be angry and said, "Why do you use the self-title of a people's daughter?" Still shouting the eldest princess? I'm not happy to hear it, change it. ”

Li Jiangwei, who was still bowing her head, smiled helplessly, bowed down again, and said, "Chengwei has seen my godmother." ”

Princess Heshou laughed happily at this time, beckoned to Li Jiangwei, and asked her to sit beside her. Li Jiangwei was naturally unwilling, she always felt a little awkward. But Princess Heshou is so enthusiastic, it's hard to refute people's face.

"Look, you're even more handsome than you were three years ago! On the day you do the ceremony, I will give you a flute myself. ”

Although Princess Heshou is Li Jiangwei's nominal godmother, her identity is in the front, and the two were not close before. Although she has passed a lot of letters in the past two years, Li Jiangwei has not been able to be as close to Li Jiangyun or her mother in another time and space.

Li Jiangwei didn't know how to reply to Princess Heshou, so she had to bow her head slightly and pretend to be shy.

"At the end of last year, the girl of the Ning family and the girl of the Song family entered the Old Five Mansion together, do you know about this?"

"The eldest sister once wrote to inform me."

"The girl of the Ning family would be the side concubine of the fifth child, I really didn't expect it. The most surprising thing is that the emperor actually approved him? Concubine De's former daughter-in-law and the queen's niece entered the same man's backyard, and I don't know if these two people thought about it today? ”

When it comes to old things, Li Jiangwei never dares to answer the conversation.

"You don't know yet. Concubine De was able to become the emperor's side concubine, but the queen's help was indispensable. I don't know if the fifth child's marriage is involved. ”

Princess Heshou put Li Jiangwei's hand on her left palm, and patted the back of Li Jiangwei's hand with her right hand. She patted as she spoke.

Li Jiangwei, whose hand was held, was cold behind her back.

Concubine De is the young lady of the Pingnan Bokong family, and the queen is the young lady of the British Gong Song family. How did Empress Song affect the marriage of Miss Pingnanbofu, who had a feud with the British government?

"Forget it, it's no fun to talk about this. It's you and Ayi, how are you doing now? Ah Yi has you in his heart. ”

Li Jiangwei bit her lower lip lightly and did not reply.

"You have to be careful, King Tipu of Suixi is going to let his youngest daughter come to Beijing to choose a husband."

"King Tip? The youngest daughter? ”

Seeing that Li Jiangwei was finally anxious, Princess Heshou laughed again: "The situation over there is already complicated, and you are not in the capital, so it is understandable that you don't know." ”

After some explanation with Princess Shouchang, Li Jiangwei understood the reason.

Two and a half years ago, the Mosha King of the East planned to marry King Tipu and send his daughter to Tipuyuti. As a result, not long after marrying the second prince of King Tip, he died violently. King Mosha ordered King Tipu to give an explanation within the prescribed time limit, but King Tipu failed to find the murderer, and a great battle began.

In the beginning, the Mosha tribe gained the upper hand and defeated the Tipu tribe one after another. However, the Mosha tribe was unable to succeed and was counterattacked by the Tipu tribe. After a year, the war ended with the Mosha tribe being wiped out by the Tipu tribe. Later, the Tipu tribe accepted the remnants of the Mosha tribe, demonstrating their benevolence. The Mosha region, where the Mosha tribe originally lived, was also taken over by King Tipu.

As the Tipu clan gradually expanded, in order to reassure Emperor Gong in Yunjing, King Tipu decided to send his daughter to Yunjing. He said that he was choosing a husband, but he was actually sent as a hostage.

"The emperor is still waiting for King Tipu to guard the frontier, even if he is a hostage, he will never treat King Tipu's daughter badly. I heard that this daughter of King Tipu is beautiful and is the shining pearl of Tipuuti. Aren't you afraid that such a girl will fall in love with Ah Yi? ”

Li Jiangwei lowered her eyelids and replied in a low voice, "Something...... It's not up to me to decide......"
