Chapter 37: Die!
Horse-drawn carriages lined up and entered the Li Mansion through the side gate in turn.
The female dependents got off the carriage at the second gate and were welcomed into the flower hall by the mother-in-law to drink tea.
Li Huanting, the eldest granddaughter of the Li family, the main owner of today, was assigned to marry His Royal Highness the eldest prince.
She was beaming with joy, and with a group of Li family sisters, she greeted the girls in the side hall.
Knowing that the Yan sisters had arrived, her eyes flashed, and she showed a bright smile and greeted her at the door in person.
She recognized Yan Yunqi at a glance, and she was really beautiful.
As for Yan Yunge next to Yan Yunqi, a little girl who couldn't speak, was directly ignored by her.
Thinking of it, Yan Yunqi was almost assigned to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and her marriage was almost snatched away, to say that Li Huanting had no idea in her heart, it was impossible.
Therefore, her smile is extraordinarily bright, hiding the emotions surging in her heart.
"You are the second sister of the Yan family, come in! Speaking of which, our two families are also distant relatives, and the second sister of the Yan family treats this as her own home, don't be polite. ”
She greeted warmly, took Yan Yunqi's hand and walked into the side hall, and settled in person.
The Li family is in-law with the royal family, and the Xiao family is a member of the royal family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Li family and the Yan family are distant relatives.
It's just that Li Huanting is too enthusiastic and overly enthusiastic.
The key is that she is only enthusiastic about Yan Yunqi and has only one smile for Yan Yunge.
Yan Yunqi was dissatisfied, why did she ignore the fourth sister.
As a result, Yan Yunqi's first impression of Li Huanting was not good, and she decided that the other party's enthusiasm was all faked.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Li." There are a lot of guests coming to the door today, Miss Li is busy, you don't have to take care of me. I also know a few of the guests who are here today. ”
Li Huanting said enthusiastically: "Second sister Yan has not been in Beijing for a long time, and she has already made friends, which is really good." Do you want me to introduce a few friends to Yan's second sister in a while, they are all beautiful ladies and are very easy to get along with. ”
Yan Yunqi implicitly refused, "Miss Li has a heart!" How can I trouble you, my fourth sister and I can take care of ourselves. ”
Li Huanting was willing to give Yan Yunge a straight look.
At this glance, I realized that she was such a pretty little girl.
It's just that it's young and hasn't grown yet. In a few years, Yan Yunqi will have to be compared to her.
"This is Sister Yunge, a sign of good looks. In a few years, I am afraid that it will become the first beauty in the capital. ”
Yan Yunqi stood in front of Yan Yunge quietly, "Miss Li is really good at laughing, my sister is just an ordinary appearance, where is the first beauty." ”
Li Huanting smiled, the second girl of the Yan family is really cautious.
She said: "Second Sister Yan, don't mind, I'm also a quick mouther." Suddenly, seeing that Yun Ge's sister was so beautiful at a young age, she was really happy, and she couldn't help but say something in her heart. ”
Yan Yunqi hehehehehe
I can't stand what you say in your heart.
Spread out, wouldn't Yunge become a target.
The first beauty in the capital, whoever loves this name wants to take it.
The Yan family is not uncommon.
She put away her smile and said solemnly: "Miss Li is straightforward and fast-talking, I understand. My sister is too young to bear such praise, so I ask Miss Li to be merciful. ”
Li Huanting nodded again and again, "I understand." Miss Yan Er don't worry, I promise not to talk nonsense. But Sister Yunge's appearance is hidden, but she can't hide it. Second Sister Yan can't protect her for the rest of her life. ”
Yan Yunqi smiled, "My sister doesn't need me to protect her, she can protect herself." By the way, some time ago, someone smashed the princess's mansion, Miss Li should have heard about it. I won't hide it from you, the person who smashed the princess's mansion was my sister. ”
Li Huanting's face changed.
She already knew about the smashing of the princess's mansion.
It's just that I never expected that Yan Yunqi would take the initiative to say it.
It's too late to hide this kind of thing, how can it be announced in public.
Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?
Could it be that Yan Yunqi was warning her.
Li Huanting's eyes changed, and she hurriedly covered her heart, "Look at my memory, I forgot that there are still important things to do." Second Sister Yan is at her own convenience, I'll be busy first, and I'll come to greet you later. ”
"Miss Li, although she is busy, don't worry about us."
Li Huanting left in a hurry with the maid.
……
When the people were far away, Yan Yunqi suppressed her voice and snorted coldly.
She turned around and said to Yan Yunge: "Li Huanting's mind is not pure, the fourth sister should stay away from her. ”
Yan Yunge laughed.
The lady who can harm her has not yet been born.
On the contrary, the second sister should be careful, beware of Li Huanting secretly making trouble.
Yan Yunqi nodded, "I'll guard against her." Fourth sister, what do you say is going on with Li Huanting? I met her for the first time, why was she hostile to me? ”
Yan Yunge pointed in the direction of the palace, naturally because of His Royal Highness the Great Prince.
Yan Yunqi frowned, "So, she already knows that I was almost assigned to His Royal Highness the Great Prince." She's angry. ”
Yan Yunge hooked his finger towards the maid Abei.
The maid took a few steps forward, "What does the girl command?" ”
She gestured, 'Protect the second sister.' ’
The maid Abei took the order.
Yan Yunqi hurriedly said: "Fourth sister, you can't have no one by your side, let Abei follow you." The people around me are not waste, they can protect me. ”
Yan Yunge took out the cardboard and wrote: "Although the people around the second sister are not waste, they are not as powerful as Ah Bei. With Abei protecting the second sister, I can rest assured. ”
"What about you?" Yan Yunqi asked.
Yan Yunge patted the whip on his waist and pointed to the dagger inside the cowhide boots, with these two things, she came and went freely in the Li family's mansion.
"The second sister is busy, I'll go out for a walk. There is good news, I will come to you again. As soon as Yan Yunge put away the pen and paper, he was ready to go out.
Yan Yunqi hurriedly grabbed Yan Yunge and asked quietly, "Where is the fourth sister going?" ”
Yan Yunge smiled secretly, stretched out two fingers, and gestured.
Yan Yunqi's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean that the second prince might come to the banquet?" You, you, did you really contact him? ”
Yan Yunge nodded, she did send a letter to the second prince.
As for whether His Royal Highness the Second Prince will come to the banquet, she has to confirm.
"Then, if someone comes, the fourth sister will remember to tell me in time. Also, in case of danger, you quickly dodge. ”
Yan Yunge nodded and left.
She avoided people and prepared to go to the front yard to take a look.
There was no man in the family who came to the capital with him, so it was really inconvenient to go out to the banquet as a guest.
If the second brother is here, the second brother will be able to inquire about the affairs of the male guest. There is no need for her to come forward in person to confirm that the second prince has not come to the banquet.
Walking through the garden, about to the atrium, a series of hurried footsteps were heard.
Yan Yunge quickly hid, stretched out his head and quietly glanced at it.
is so familiar with the back, if you are not mistaken, that person should be His Royal Highness the Great Prince.
His Royal Highness the Grand Prince is also here?
Is this direction going to the back garden?
Yan Yunge did not hesitate and followed.
She was just curious and wanted to see what the eldest prince Xiao Chengye was doing in the back garden.
The more you go, the more remote it becomes.
Is this going to do something unseemly?
Yan Yunge was already preparing to draw the dagger, just in case, the eldest prince Xiao Chengye finally stopped.
"Cousin, you're here!"
Li Huanting walked down from the gazebo.
Yan Yunge hid in the dark and peeked, it turned out that it was her cousin and cousin who met in private.
The two are already an unmarried couple, so why bother sneaking around. Isn't it good to meet Dafangfang?
Yan Yunge's five senses are keen, and from a long distance, he can also see the disgust and impatience on the face of the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.
He said in a very impulsive tone, "What's the matter with me?" We also make an appointment to meet at this kind of place. ”
Li Huanting bit her lip and looked aggrieved, "Isn't my cousin happy?" ”
The eldest prince Xiao Chengye sneered, "Do you think I should be happy?" What is there to be pleased with, you say! ”
Li Huanting tilted her head with tears in her eyes, "You are so unwilling to marry me?" ”
"Yes, I don't want to marry you, I made it clear from the beginning, I told you not to be delusional, not to do something misleading. And what have you done, you have done something that is misleading. Okay, now that you've got your wish, shouldn't I congratulate you, Li Huanting! ”
The eldest prince Xiao Chengye's words were full of malice, and he was absolutely 100% unwilling to marry Li Huanting.
Li Huanting held back her tears, afraid of wearing makeup.
She said, "You dislike me like that? I am the eldest granddaughter of the Li family, I am proficient in piano, calligraphy and painting, and I can also master the cooking skills of female red, and my appearance is not bad. ”
"You said that your family background is poor, you marry me, what can you give me? You say! Have you done anything else besides dragging me back? ”
The eldest prince Xiao Chengye directly tore his face, completely ignoring the affection of his relatives.
The marriage in the palace obviously stimulated him.
So much so that he was not willing to do even basic superficial work.
When Li Huanting heard this, her face turned pale, "It turns out that you have always looked at our Li family like this, thinking that our Li family is lagging behind." But don't forget, the Li family is your mother's family. ”
"If the Li family is not my mother's family, do you think I will come to the door today? If the Li family was not my mother's family, would I tolerate your family all these years? You want to marry me, I don't blame you. But you shouldn't marry me, you can't help me, you'll only hurt me. If you really really like me in the slightest, please fulfill me, okay? ”
Li Huanting took two steps back, and she looked frightened, "Fulfill you?" How can it be done for you? ”
The eldest prince Xiao Chengye said solemnly: "If you don't marry me, you will fulfill me." ”
Li Huanting was stunned and was speechless for a long time, "Your Majesty has assigned me to marry you, of course I want to marry you." ”
"So, you won't fulfill me?" The eldest prince Xiao Chengye's face sank.
"I, I, I, we are already an unmarried couple, this is a marriage given by the emperor, and we can't withdraw from the marriage."
"As long as you are willing to fulfill me, you don't have to marry me."
"Cousin, I don't understand what you're saying."
"How could you not understand? You are such a smart person, how can you not understand. ”
Li Huanting's face turned pale, "Does my cousin mean to let me die?" I'm dead, so you certainly don't have to marry me. Just like Miss Liu back then. ”
"Shut up! Can you compare to Miss Liu? Miss Liu is a first-class good match, and some people don't want me to marry her, so they deliberately hurt her. Wan Ting, can you help me? I was really hard. I am not unaware of my situation, I urgently need a wife who can help me. Will you fulfill me? ”
"Fulfill you, and you will make me die?"
"Don't die! You only need to be seriously ill once, and the marriage will be resolved. ”
Li Huanting shook her head and stepped back step by step.
She was sad, she was angry, she didn't change her mind, "Cousin, you shouldn't have done this to me. I want to marry you so much, it's not that you don't know. Since I was ten years old, my only dream was to marry you, how could you do this to me. ”
The eldest prince Xiao Chengye red-eyed, "Wan Ting, you don't know how difficult my situation is, why don't you want to help me." Is your so-called liking pushing me into the abyss from which I will never recover? Do you know that if I die one day, you won't survive? ”
Li Huanting finally cried, she shouted: "I am willing to die with you." ”
"Would you rather die with me than fulfill me?" The eldest prince Xiao Chengye was obviously stimulated, and he didn't choose to speak, "You are really cheap, not only cheap but also vicious." Why don't you die now! ”
