Chapter 223: Gift-giving

Shizi knew that Xia Sihan's request was not too much, if it wasn't for his father forcibly sending his mother to the nunnery, I am afraid that she would not let go of Mother Li until now. It's just that he knows his mother's temperament, and it's probably not easy for her, the original princess Ning, to bow her head to a concubine and admit her mistakes.

Seeing the hesitation in Murong Qingmo's eyes, Xia Sihan could understand. Princess Ning is so proud, even if she knows that she has done wrong, she will not be the one who admits her mistakes. Knowing that the prince couldn't be the master of this matter, Xia Sihan suggested that he inform the princess directly of the matter and let her weigh the pros and cons herself.

Murong Qingmo heard the sarcasm in her words, but he was helpless.

"Let me go back and discuss this matter before I give you an answer. As for the He family, I will try my best to mediate in the future and will not let them have another incident. ”

"It's the best, but even if they make trouble, I'm not afraid, and I have a reason to go all over the world."

Xia Sihan's words made Murong Qingmo smile bitterly, he expected Xia Sihan to say this, and he also guessed that she would stay behind. At the moment, he seemed to have no better way than to compromise. He drank all the tea in the cup, then got up to say goodbye, and Li Jinyan hugged Xia Sihan and sent him out of the house. It's King Ning, who is still drinking tea in Mother Li's garden, and has no intention of leaving.

For the first time in so many years, the two of them sat together and drank tea calmly. At this time, Li Jinyan and Xia Sihan came here, and when they saw the smile on King Ning's face, Li Jinyan hesitated again and again, but still informed him of the matter.

After hearing this, King Ning was silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "You are right, she does owe you too much. I just want her to bow her head and admit her mistakes, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”

King Ning knows the princess too well, she has been a husband and wife for many years, and even Murong Qingmo's marriage was facilitated by her, and she wants her to admit her mistakes, unless the sun comes out of the west.

Xia Sihan already knew it in his heart, and said with a light smile: "The princess will admit her mistake!" I'm afraid that Old Lady He will also come forward, this matter is not only related to the face of the Dao Palace, but also related to the development of the He family, and the princess will definitely think about it. ”

King Ning looked at her puzzled, and Li Jinyan added on the side: "Father, don't worry, don't feel embarrassed by this matter, since Sihan said that she would admit her mistakes, she will." ”

"You just trust her judgment like that? The king is going to make a bet with you today! ”

"Okay, bet on what?"

Li Jinyan responded, and King Ning thought for a while and said, "There is a copy of "Mo's Art of War" in this king's study, if you win, how about giving you the book of war?" ”

King Ning's words made Li Jinyan smile and respond on the spot, "Okay, I'll bet that she will admit her mistake!" If I lose, I'll cook you a meal with my own hands. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xia Sihan beside him, the two looked at each other and smiled, and King Ning and Mother Li also laughed happily. In fact, Mother Li was very worried, she didn't dare to think that one day the princess would bow her head and apologize to her, just pray that the princess would not trouble them again.

Ning Wangxiao sat down for a while and got up to leave, Li Jinyan personally saw him off, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a group of people coming from the Li Mansion not far away. "Jin Yan, I'm afraid that these people are all here to befriend you, some people can make friends, and some people stay away." King Ning has been in the court for many years, and he is very clear about these people's thoughts.

"Understood, I'll take care of it."

Li Jinyan watched King Ning leave, turned around and found Hu Bo, and asked him to wait at the door with four small servants, and record all the congratulatory gift lists. In this way, it will save a lot of trouble when returning the ceremony in the future.

It's just that Li Jinyan didn't expect that Murong Yu would come in person. There are more than a dozen important ministers of the court behind him, presumably all of whom are from his party. There were also more than a dozen ministers with their families who came to congratulate him, and Li Jinyan had many of them who couldn't be named. Seeing that they automatically distanced themselves from Murong Yu, they must be either princelings or neutral officials. After Murong Yu and his party all came in, they entered the Li Mansion in an orderly manner.

The huge Li Mansion was very lively at this time, and Li's mother said that it was inconvenient to see guests due to her illness, and refused those noble ladies who came to visit. Li Jinyan and Xia Sihan greeted the guests in the front hall, and naturally attached great importance to Murong Yu. The others exchanged pleasantries, dropped their things and left.

After a while, Murong Yu was the only one, and after a cup of tea, Murong Yu finally spoke. "Actually, this hall has long known that you are the second son of the emperor's uncle, but the holy decree has not been issued, and this palace does not dare to disclose your identity at will, so it has not come until now."

Li Jinyan looked at his coquettish appearance, thinking of how ruthless he was to Xia Sihan in his previous life, he just smiled faintly and said: "The third prince is polite, today's matter is actually not a big deal." Jin Yan is just a concubine, who has been wandering outside for many years, and it is just an accident to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Unexpectedly, the three princes raised the army, which flattered Jin Yan. ”

"Yes, we husband and wife just want to live in peace, but everyone in the court is so enthusiastic, it makes us embarrassed."

Murong Yu looked at Xia Sihan, this woman's skin was whiter than Xuetian, her eyes were smart, just one glance made others lose their color. He stared at Xia Sihan intently, and Li Jinyan saw it in his eyes, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

"Ahem!"

Li Jinyan coughed lightly, Xia Sihan hurriedly served tea, considerate and gentle, "The imperial doctor said that you need to recuperate, you see, you haven't rested this morning." Her slightly complaining tone made Li Jinyan chuckle, and also made Murong Yu understand that she was giving an eviction order, so she also sat down soon.

So the main hall was left for a short time. There is a polo match in a few days, which happens to be the last of the competition, if it is convenient, you can come and watch it together. Before leaving, Murong Yu did not forget to send out an invitation, Xia Sihan thought that Murong Xue and his relatives had not yet been finalized, and looked at Li Jinyan at the moment, and the latter responded.

"His Royal Highness sincerely invites you, how can Jin Yan not obey?"

"In this way, the main hall will leave you the best place!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Jinyan bowed to see him off, and Xia Sihan was slightly blessed.

When he left, Xia Sihan was puzzled: "Why did you agree?" In case ......"

"No case, I'm the concubine of King Ning, and it's understandable to go to watch the battle. Don't worry, I didn't go to the competition before, and I won't participate this time. I just want to see what Murong Yu wants, and now that he comes to see me, he just wants to win me over, and he won't offend me so easily. ”

Li Jinyan's analysis made Xia Sihan impressed, "Jinyan, I suddenly found that you are now analyzing things clearly and organized, who is behind you to guide you?" ”

As soon as Xia Sihan finished speaking, he was held in Li Jinyanlou's arms, "Naturally, it's you." ”

"Me?" Xia Sihan's face was full of shock, and Li Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "Naturally, it's you, if it weren't for you, I never thought that I would one day become a member of the court." Ever since I had you, I've vowed to make myself strong so I can protect you. As long as you have this kind of thought, you naturally have to pay more attention, otherwise what do you think I am using those military books for? ”
