Chapter 53: You Can Be a Princess Forever
It was suddenly dark.
Jiang Li sat by the window, looking at the glass mirror painted with gold lacquer and inlaid with jade, stunned.
Why him?
In fact, you don't have to think about it, it's really him.
The palace maid gently pushed the door open, and Lu Wu walked in in front of her. He wore a dark green robe, and from a distance he looked like a personable literati walking slowly. He seems to have gotten taller again, I don't know if it's Jiang Li's illusion, or if he's always been tall.
He stood in front of Jiang Li's eyes, didn't speak, and waited for Jiang Li to speak first.
There was some dust at the corners of his clothes, and Jiang Li could see it intently. The hem of his clothes is embroidered with white cranes and green bamboo, the white crane is very eye-catching, and the green bamboo is dark, and only when you look carefully can you see the exquisite Suzhou embroidery.
After all, he is the adopted son of a national teacher, so what's wrong with wearing a white crane?
After a while, Jiang Li didn't want to look up, just lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Brother Lu Wu is about to be twenty this year?" ”
Lu Wu was stunned and replied, "Yes, why are you asking this?" ”
Jiang Li still lowered his head, looked carefully at the white crane on the hem of his clothes, and continued to ask expressionlessly: "Why is it almost twenty just after eighteen?" ”
She glanced up at Lu Wu and didn't see any superfluous expression on his face. Jiang Li then instructed: "Lord Lu Wu, sit down, Jiangxue, and go to the tip of the Weishan hair." ”
Lu Wu sat down, but he didn't seem to be restrained, and he sat casually, unlike when he usually saw him. Jiang Xue quickly made tea and poured it for Jiang Li and Lu Wu.
This tea has a faint pine and cedar fragrance, and the ginger pear feels warm and comfortable when it smells, and it smells deeply by itself.
On the other side, Lu Wu could be seen taking a sip gently, frowning slightly, putting down the teacup again, and not taking another sip.
"Don't Lord Lu Wu like it?" Jiang Li could naturally catch a glimpse of his small movements, "Are you used to drinking juice tea?" ”
After saying this, Jiang Li immediately noticed that her mean tone was too inappropriate, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea and stopped talking.
Lu Wu is really Lu Wu, and he is not annoyed when Jiang Li says this, and he is not shocked: "This tea is very good, but adults know, I am used to drinking Biluochun." The fruit tea is too sweet, and I don't drink it much.
"I'm nineteen years old this year, what do adults say I'm eighteen?"
After he said this, Jiang Li immediately raised his head to look at him and looked directly at him. He spoke frankly, and his expression did not change. Jiang Li put down the teacup and said directly: "I'm sure I can't be mistaken, we grew up together since we were children, and I know that you are three years older than me." Why are you lying? ”
Suddenly, Lu Wu's face was very ugly. Seeing this, Jiang Li just waved his hand to let the palace maids go out, leaving only him and the two people indoors.
"Brother Lu Wu, did he change his birthday to deal with Rong Guo Ningyi? Do you really want to marry her? Do you want to do such things that hurt your well-being? You know that Ning Hua will definitely find me to make a fortune for Ning Yi, why don't you tell me? ”
Jiang Li confided all the doubts and dissatisfaction in her heart at once, and asked this large paragraph in one breath, her voice became louder and louder, and her emotions became more and more excited, and in the end, she even couldn't help crying.
Obviously, Lu Wu was stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Li to ask so directly, he didn't expect that he would treat him like a sister, Jiang Li, who grew up together since childhood, and has always been well-behaved and sensible and soft-spoken, was a little hysterical.
"Ah Li, ......" Lu Wu was a little shocked, and his voice trembled slightly.
"How long has it been since Brother Lu Wu called me Ah Li?" It's rare, Jiang Li asked aggressively, and she felt unreasonable.
She secretly said in her heart that she would never be like this again, and more than ten years of upbringing and etiquette would not teach such a bitter woman.
Lu Wu broke the embarrassing situation, and he replied in a calm voice: "I thought that you would be afraid of me about the matter of Concubine Zhang last time." ”
"How could I be afraid of you?" Jiang Li denied with a wry smile, "You saved me." Although you are old with Cheng...... I'm sure you're forced to do it, aren't you? ”
His expression was complicated, looking at this girl with a still immature face, and he didn't want to say anything: "Ah Li, you don't have to worry about these things." You have to believe that I will take care of you. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Li was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "Are you planning something big with the national teacher?" actually wanted to use Zhang Guifei and Wang Songbai's family as sacrifices...... After all, after all, I also went out from the Wang family......
"For so many years, my father, queen mother, and queen mother didn't mention it, and the national teacher didn't mention it, but I knew in my heart that no matter how I was born from the Wang family of Pei County, you will give me the name of the daughter of destiny, and I will come to Yangdu.
"I know that you are going to move Aunt Liu and Wang Zicong Wang Zijue, but you must also know that I secretly stopped your arrangement. Why are you still struggling? At that time, Concubine Zhang Xian was innocent, and Mian'er was innocent? Even my mother was forced to commit suicide by you. The harem of the court was thrown into chaos by you, just to seize power? ”
As he spoke, Jiang Li's tears fell, gently dripping on the group of gorgeous embroideries, and there was no sound at all. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lu Wu, and she didn't know if he noticed that she was crying. She didn't dare to raise her hand to wipe away her tears, today she just swept her eyebrows, but she didn't want Lu Wu to find out that there was anything wrong with her.
Lu Wu saw it, he knew that Jiang Li had always loved face the most, but his tone was calm, and he slowly spoke: "Ah Li, you must know that there are many things, and one reason is endless...... I promise you the Wang family, I will try my best to protect them and protect them well. Don't be sad anymore, I promise you, as long as you want, you will always be the most noble princess who lives in the Huangli Palace carefree, okay? ”
"Are you here for Ningyi?" Jiang Li didn't answer, but asked directly and mercilessly.
"You don't have to worry about that, A-Li. You're only fifteen years old......" was a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
"I knew you were for her, and she probably liked you too." Jiang Li looked at him and smiled, his smile was so innocent that Lu Wu was speechless, "I know everything!" Let's go, I'm going to return to China in two days, you go tell Cheng Lao the good news! ”
Lu Wu didn't ask Jiang Li why he knew, maybe he remembered that this girl was talented and intelligent, or realized that he had been with her for so many years, and she would know her mind.
He didn't speak, opened the door and walked out by himself, Jiang Xue Rinshuang saw that Jiang Li was not looking good outside, and didn't let many people in, but the two big palace maids went in to serve by themselves and closed the door.
Rin Frost asked first, "My lord still said it?" ”
Jiang Li was stunned, and looked up at the two people he trusted the most: "But Lu Wu didn't say anything." ”
The three of them were silent to each other, the windows were open, the sea breeze blew in, and the tip of the Weishan hair soon became cold.
