Li Wei took pity on Zhao Qingcheng and looked even more bold, "Maybe one day, you will no longer be in the palace; It is very likely that the subordinates were negligent for a while, and accidentally let the princess run out of the house by herself. She glanced up at Zhao Qingcheng and continued: "Although the prince returned to the mansion and severely punished those subordinates; But this heaven and earth are big, even if the prince tries his best to find it, but since this princess is lost, she can't find it. ”

At this point, Li Wei was sure that Zhao Qingcheng understood what she meant. She looked at Zhao Qingcheng's deepening smile, and she was even more complacent. I heard that this prince likes smart women, and it seems that this is indeed the case. Just now, she frequently secretly sent Qiu Bo and didn't see any reaction from him, but now she coaxed him to smile after chatting a few words, it seems that she still has a chance.

"Then you'll have a chance to enter the house and take your place!" Li Weixi's cold voice sounded from behind Li Weilian.

Zhao Qingcheng's smile was not because of Li Wei's pity, but because he had already seen Li Weixi standing at the door of the front hall. And Li Weipity's remarks were no more, no less, and Li Wei regretted to listen to them all.

Mama Lu'e, who came to invite Mrs. Li with Li Weihe, didn't see Mrs. Li, but when she heard Li Wei's words, she also shook her head and sighed, and turned around to return to the old lady.

Li Weilian stood up from his chair in shock, "You······ You ······ You ······" I couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time.

"How do I? We've let you down! Li did not hesitate to sarcastically.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the maid who was not pitiful quietly retreated to look for Mrs. Li.

Zhao Qingcheng put his hands around his chest, looking like he didn't care about himself.

Li Weilian finally came to his senses and smoothed out, "Aren't you demented?!" ”

"If I want to be still demented, how can I see that my sister is so excited that I can't wait to join the palace." Li didn't expect that Zhao Qingcheng's iceberg charm was really not small.

Hearing this, Li Weilian suddenly blushed with shame, and said hurriedly: "How can I have it!" You talk nonsense. Seeing that Li Wei didn't have to look at her squarely, Li Wei fanned his eyelashes aggrievedly, "Lord Wang······"

Li Weili had the heart to ask Zhao Qingcheng for help, but the latter was indifferent.

Li did not hesitate to smile and whispered: "Lord, the concubine has kept you waiting for a long time." As he spoke, he bypassed Li Weilian's side and walked slowly towards Zhao Qingcheng.

Before he walked in front of Zhao Qingcheng, Li Weilian deliberately stretched out his foot to trip her. It was only because of Li Wei's regret that the ridicule in Fang Cai's words made Li Wei angry and ashamed. Li didn't hesitate to be unexpected, and before he had time to react, the whole person lost his balance and threw himself out.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingcheng got up and took a step with his long legs, and stretched his long arms to catch Li Weixi and hold him in his arms. He smiled softly, "Did the princess fall?" ”

Li Wei instinctively wanted to break free, and then thought about it: Since Li Wei was not happy to accept her and Zhao Qing's friendship, she wanted to be in love with Zhao Qing. Anyway, the play has been played to this point, so she simply did enough tricks. Li did not hesitate to snuggle in Zhao Qingcheng's arms, coquettish, "Lord Wang, there are still outsiders!" Concubines are fine. ”

Li Weipian saw that Li Weicheng was "lying" in Zhao Qingcheng's arms, and kept demonstrating to her with his eyes, and he was even more angry.

She wrung the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were red, and the grooves behind her teeth were clucking, but she was helpless against Li Wei, and she stomped her feet in anger.

"It seems that it is really our Hou Mansion that is blessed, and we can't suppress the evil spirit on Xi'er. No, as soon as you marry into the palace, this disease will be cured! With the strange voice of yin and yang, Mrs. Li stepped in. Not long after she walked away, she made a fuss! Although he blamed his daughter for not being angry, he pointed the finger at Li Weixi between his words.

Mrs. Li said that, but she couldn't understand the recovery of Li Weixi. How can this disease be so cured? In the past few years at home, the palace has sent a lot of imperial doctors to take a look, and there is no shortage of precious medicinal materials, but it is not good, and now it has only been three days, and this person is like a dragon.

When Li Weipian saw Mrs. Li, it was like seeing a rescuer, and he suddenly threw himself into Mrs. Li's arms, "Mother! Her eyes were full of tears and grievances.

Li did not hesitate to leave Zhao Qingcheng's chest, and Zhao Qingcheng pretended that nothing had happened and sat back in the chair again. Li did not hesitate to raise her eyes to look at Mrs. Li, and saw Li Wei's personal maid hiding behind Mrs. Li, she already knew it in her heart.

Li did not hesitate to step forward and salute, "Mother." ”

Mrs. Li turned a deaf ear to Li Weixi's words, and she patted Li Weipity's back to comfort her. Then he saluted Zhao Qingcheng, "Lord Wang, I am ignorant and said the wrong thing, and I hope that you will not blame you if you have a lot." ”

Zhao Qingcheng lightly withdrew the corners of his mouth, which could be regarded as an answer to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li felt that her face was gloomy, and she couldn't bear to blame Li Weipi, let alone blame Zhao Qingcheng, so she wanted to sprinkle this evil breath on Li Weixi.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li's front foot just entered, and the old lady's back foot arrived. Helplessly, Mrs. Li had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth.

The old lady sat in the hall with a blue face and was supported by Mama Lu'e, and before coming, Mama Lu'e had reported the previous things to her one by one. At this time, the old lady naturally didn't have a good face, she glared at Li Weilian fiercely, and was so frightened that Li Weilian shrank her neck and took a few steps backwards, hiding behind Mrs. Li and not daring to move forward.

Mrs. Li was afraid that the old lady would reproach Li Weipi, so she quickly changed the topic: "Old lady, look, this child is still hiding from us when he is sick!" ”

The old lady snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about the girl's affairs!" She looked at the mother and daughter and became angry, "If you have time, you should discipline and discipline your daughter more, don't let people think that our Hou Mansion has no tutor." ”

Mrs. Li was left speechless by the old lady's words.

The old lady turned around, "Lord Wang, let you see a smile." ”

"Old lady, it's serious." Zhao Qingcheng responded.

The old lady glanced at Zhao Qingcheng, "It is said that the prince and the girl should stay in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion for one night when they return to the door today." The old lady paused, and said: "But the backyard of this Hou Mansion is full of female dependents, and it is really inappropriate for the prince to live; If you live in the front yard, you are afraid that you will be wronged by the prince. Look at this······"

In fact, the old lady didn't believe Zhao Qingcheng, she was afraid that the uncompetitive Li Weipian would provoke something else.

"Old lady doesn't need to bother, this king and princess are just going back to the door today to say hello to you, and casually let you know that she has recovered from her illness, and she really has no plans to spend the night in the Hou Mansion." Not to mention staying overnight, Zhao Qingcheng of this Hou Mansion didn't even want to stay for a moment.

The old lady nodded, and said to Li Wei with a guilty face: "Sorry girl, today grandmother is afraid that she will break her word." I'll give you a satisfactory answer in a few days. She really didn't want to spread this matter out in front of Zhao Qingcheng, after all, family ugliness should not be publicized.

"It's up to my grandmother."

Li Weixi understands the old lady's thoughts, she is not really willing to wait a few days, but as soon as the old lady speaks, Li Wuxi does not regret to refute her old man's face. In this case, why not be a well-behaved granddaughter and make the old lady comfortable.

In fact, today Li did not hesitate to step into the Hou Mansion again, and everything in front of her made her heart mixed. The prosperity of the Hou Mansion back then is in stark contrast to the decay of today, and the mansion seems to have not been painted for a long time. Looking at the current Hou Mansion, Li Wei regretted that he was inevitably sad in his heart. even regretted that she resolutely wanted to get back the dowry left to her by her mother, after all, it was not easy to support this big Hou Mansion. If Mrs. Li doesn't jump out by herself today, then Li will not hesitate to make another consideration for the dowry; If not, then it's no wonder she's leaving no stone unturned.

Sure enough, Mrs. Li still didn't hold back. She saw that Mrs. Li and Zhao Qingcheng were going home, and she was in a hurry! Mrs. Li was in a hurry to go to the backyard, and the mother-in-law in charge told her that the return gift sent by Zhao Qingcheng was the dowry given to Li by the Hou Mansion that day, so Mrs. Li left Zhao Qingcheng to check it out in person. What she cares about is not the number of rites, but the real money behind the number of rites.

It is rumored that half of the world's rare treasures are in the palace, and the other half is in the palace of King Yan. I think that Zhao Qingcheng was the emperor's favorite prince, and whenever there were items from foreign countries, the emperor always let Zhao Qingcheng choose the treasures he gave him. And although Zhao Qingcheng is arrogant and uninhibited, he is generous.

When Mrs. Li received a message from the palace that Zhao Qingcheng was going to return to the door with Li Weihe, she was bent on making a big profit from Zhao Qingcheng. To tell the truth, the current Hou Mansion seems to be much worse than before on the surface, but it is actually rich and rich. In those years, the Hou Ye had a meritorious role in saving the prince, and the gold, silver and jade rewarded by the emperor and the number of houses and fertile fields were not small; Subsequently, after the accident of the Hou Ye and the Hou Mansion, the first emperor gave a pension that was also considerable, and the Hou Ye's Yu Lu was still allocated to the Hou Mansion every month. In this way, Mrs. Li has not only jade and jewelry, but also the rent of the house and fertile land, plus the late Hou Ye's wealth, the days of this Hou Mansion are naturally indispensable. It's just that Mrs. Li is not good at running a family, and she is a greedy person, so how can she let it go. Mrs. Li saw that her hopes were disappointed, how could she give up, she glanced at her mother-in-law hiding at the door.

The mother-in-law understood, so she pretended to be anxious and rushed into the front hall, shouting: "Madam! Madam! ”

"Why are you so alarmed? Such an unruly way made the prince see a joke. Mrs. Li pretended to reprimand.

"Madame reprimanded that it was the old slave who was rude. Just ······" The mother-in-law wanted to speak and stopped.

"Since it's inconvenient to say, then I'll tell my wife later, haven't you seen that the prince and the princess are here?" The old lady categorically stopped. She is a person who understands, how could the old lady not know about Mrs. Li's tricks, she must have found out that Li Weixi's dowry was given as a return gift.

Mrs. Li was willing to give up, "Old lady, this prince is also the aunt of our Hou Mansion, and the princess is our own daughter, there is nothing to say." He turned back and said to his mother-in-law, "Say something!" There are no outsiders here. ”

Hearing this, the old lady knew that this stupid woman would not die if she did not hit the south wall. Lao Taijun didn't want to put this matter on the table, especially in front of Zhao Qingcheng. But now it seems that she can't stop it, and now there will be an end. At this time, the old lady only hated himself for being blindfolded by lard back then, so he let this stupid woman enter the door, and the Hou Mansion was in such a situation. The old lady was so angry that she closed her eyes, she didn't care!

"Yes, ma'am." The mother-in-law should go down. The old slave was ordered to carry the return gift sent by the prince to the warehouse, and a new servant accidentally tripped and knocked over one of the boxes on the way. The old slave scolded the little servant, and when he stepped forward to check whether the object was damaged, he found that the box contained the dowry given to the princess by the Hou Mansion that day. The old slave had the courage to ask his subordinates to open the rest of the boxes, and they were all the same as the boxes, all of which were dowries for the princess in our house. The old slave was in a hurry to report to his wife. ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Maybe you're getting old, and your old eyes are dizzy. How could the prince send the dowry given by the Hou Mansion to the princess as a homecoming gift! Mrs. Li glanced at Zhao Qingcheng, who was unmoved.

The mother-in-law "poofed" and knelt down. "Madame Mingjian, the old slave has no lies. Although the old slave is a little old, his eyes are good, and he can see it really. ”

Mrs. Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Are you sure?" ”

"The old slave is sure! When the lady bought the dowry for the princess, the old slave was all by the lady's side, so how could she be mistaken. "The mother-in-law swears by it.

"This ······" Mrs. Li looked back at Zhao Qingcheng, "Lord Wang, look ······"

Zhao Qingcheng spread his hands, "The return ceremony is handled by the princess, and the king doesn't know." Zhao Qingcheng kicked the "ball" to her according to his unhesitant routine.

As soon as Mrs. Li heard that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Qingcheng, she knew that this was deliberately done by Li Weihe. The anger that she had suppressed for a long time just now ignited instantly, and she couldn't help but say: "I see, then it's no wonder!" Xi'er died just after birth, the old lady is old, and the Hou Ye is busy with official business, so no one disciplines him and doesn't understand the rules. Later, though, I entered the door. But I'm a stepmother after all, and she's willing to obey me, and it's already good if she doesn't show me her face. In the past, there were no rules and no rules in the Hou Mansion, and they acted arbitrarily. But in the final analysis, it was also my 'mother' fault that I didn't teach her to be a person and pay attention to etiquette, so she did her own thing. Mrs. Li seems to be blaming herself, but in fact, she is useless for depreciating Li.
