Chapter 6: The Phoenix Falling from the Branches
Li Yihan returned to the main hall dejectedly and told his parents about Feng Zilan's farewell.
Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
The couple glanced at each other, and He Xiyuan felt warm when she saw the support in Li Tao's eyes. She sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "Yi Han, what do you think of Ah Feng?" ”
"Senior brother has no other shortcomings except for his love of playing tricks on people." Li Yihan looked up at He Xiyuan and exclaimed, "Mother plans to let the senior brother come to top the bag?" ”
"That's right! There is no other way at the moment. "If Li Yihan has to get married, He Xi would rather marry Jing Feng.
Li Yihan said: "There's no need to pull my senior brother into the water, tomorrow I will go to the palace with my father to explain the situation." ”
"Straight words won't solve this problem. Some things can only be dealt with in a roundabout way, and if they are too direct, they will hurt others and hurt themselves. He Xiyuan was extremely serious. Maybe it was too hot, maybe it was too nervous, and tiny beads of sweat began to drip down her forehead. Li Tao took out a silk scarf and wiped the sweat from her neck. He Xiyuan flicked Li Tao's hand away as if she was frightened.
Li Tao smiled bitterly and took back the silk scarf.
He Xiyuan lowered her slightly trembling hand and said firmly: "If you don't want to marry into the palace, you can only do this." ”
Li Yihan rolled his black bean-like eyes and carefully weighed the pros and cons of this matter.
"Ah Feng doesn't need to come forward, as long as there is a marriage certificate, it is enough." Li Tao took over the conversation and continued, "Release the news, and within a moment, it will reach the ears of King Wang Anbei." He has always kept his promise and will never trouble us again. ”
"The marriage certificate is just a stopgap measure. After the limelight is over, find another reason to quit. Ah Feng will understand us. He Xiyuan got up and walked in front of Li Yihan, took her hand, and said softly, "I just hope that you will stay away from the whirlpool of Houmen and be comfortable for a lifetime." ”
Li Yihan's eyes were moist, he let go of his worries and nodded. She felt He Xiyuan's expectation and care for herself, and she was also moved by her parents' choice to respect her way of doing things in front of everything.
"Then I'll retreat from the scenery, haha......" Li Yihan's depression accumulated in his heart dissipated, revealing a bright smile. In the past long years, she has never won against Jingyuan, and this time it can be regarded as a comeback.
Li Tao imitated the handwriting of Jing Feng's master Jing Yuan to write a marriage letter about Li Yihan and Jing Feng, and then secretly passed the housekeeper Uncle Zhang to the study and asked him to press his fingerprints. Without waiting for Li Tao to speak, Uncle Zhang understood and claimed that he would keep his mouth shut.
So, a marriage letter calmed the commotion in Loei.
When night falls, everything is quiet.
The next day, after Li Yihan got up, Qing'er came to serve her to wash.
"Where's Xunmi?" Li Yihan yawned. Xun Mei and Li Yihan grew up together and served her daily life for decades. This is the first time Xun Mei has been absent.
Qing'er whispered: "Xunmei has eczema, she was worried that eczema would spread to the house, so she took four days of sick leave to Steward Zhang and went home." ”
"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Li Yihan was surprised.
She said eczema was contagious, so she didn't come in to say hello. She returned me and I told you not to go and see her. Qing'er quickly helped Li Yihan comb her hair and replied, "Miss, don't worry too much, the eczema on Xunmei's body has just started, drink the medicine in time, and it will recover soon." ”
Hearing this, Li Yihan thought for a while and said, "The medicine in the hospital is better." In the afternoon, you asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine in my name, and took the medicine and gave it to Xunmei. ”
After breakfast, Li Yihan instructed Qing'er and Xiaoye to go to Xingyizhai in the North Garden of Quanqing Pavilion to take two half-human-high dry wood and a set of carving utensils. She wanted to carve two playthings before Jing Feng returned. She calculated that the senior brother would make it difficult for herself for the marriage letter, and preparing an apology ceremony in advance could avoid a chicken and dog jump.
After Qing'er and Xiaoye sent the things back to Quanqing Pavilion, they went to the treasury to receive Quanqing's monthly expenses. Li Yihan sat alone on a stone bench under the plane tree, holding a knife and carefully chopping the wood.
When it was close to noon, Xiao Ye ran into the yard in a panic.
"Miss, my aunt has fainted, and Imperial Doctor Wang is still on her way here." Lobular hands support knee joints, panting.
Li Yi's heart tightened, put down the utensils and wood, and ran away.
After Xiao Ye relieved himself, he shouted at her again: "The people from the Anbei Palace's mansion have come to give a dowry." ”
Li Yihan knew that his mother was most likely angry by this news.
I heard that the king of Anbei had captured a large group of people who had been rumored to be married, and the dungeons of the yamen were overcrowded.
King Anbei said that the marriage certificate was a rumor, then it was a rumor, and even if the marriage book existed, it was false. Regardless of whether there is a marriage certificate or not, Li Yihan is destined to marry into the Anbei Palace. The person who married her was the emperor's own brother, and if she refused to marry or ran away from the marriage, Loei would be destroyed.
It is not only the people of the rivers and lakes who can't help themselves, but also the officials and nobles and even the common people in cloth. Even though Li Yihan was unwilling, he finally compromised.
Five days later, Li Yihan reluctantly sat in the Danfeng Chaoyang saffron sedan chair.
When entering the house, the sedan chair was stopped, and the noisy crowd around was silent for a moment.
"Go through the side door!" This is the voice of Xue Yue.
Xi Niang was embarrassed: "Snow Prince, the princess's sedan chair should pass through the main gate to be in order." ”
"I am the gatekeeper of the palace, and I know better than you who should go from where!" Xue Yue scoffed.
Suddenly, the heavy sound of the door closing came to my ears. Li Yihan clenched his fists, and especially wanted to rush out of the sedan chair and beat Xue Yuebang, but for the sake of Li Fu to endure it, it was not too late to settle accounts after the autumn anyway.
After worshipping heaven and earth, Li Yihan was sent to a new house. After sitting for an hour, she was so hungry that her stomach gurgled that she tore off her red hijab and swept the food and wine on the table. Then he sat back on the bed and covered his head again with a red hijab.
Li Yihan was dazed and about to fall asleep when the door opened. She sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the boots that appeared in front of her.
Gurg......
The loud sound of burps like the sound of gongs and drums spoils the beautiful atmosphere of the new house.
After the boots approached Li Yihan, they paused for a moment and left again.
Not long after, the sound of gentle footsteps sounded in the house again.
Li Yihan was wondering if King Anbei was shy, and his low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
"You have sinned against the king's taboo. 1. Things that should not be touched in the room; 2. No hiccups; Three, you shouldn't use the king's dishes and chopsticks. ”
"It was you who married me into the door and sent me into the house, and I am also the master of this place, so I naturally have the right to move the things in the house. Hiccups are a physical reaction, just like breathing, how to control them? As for the dishes and chopsticks, it is indeed my fault, I will compensate you tomorrow for a pair of marked dishes and chopsticks, I believe that there will be no similar situation in the future! Li Yihan pulled the red hijab with his hand, thought for a moment and then put down his hand.
"To make a mistake means to die, but this king does not kill women." King Anbei's tone was very flat, but with a terrifying power, "From now on, you are no longer a princess." Hurry up and pack your things and go to the Snow Garden to serve Xueyue! ”
The cold voice pierced Li Yihan's heart like an ice arrow.
