"Second Miss, are you just watching her come back like this?"

In the past few days, Li's condition has gradually improved, but Xiao Yan did not mention that he wanted Li to move to Xiyuan again. If it goes on like this, the Li family will soon recover, and when the time comes, I am afraid that she and Xiao Xiwei will not be able to please her.

The more Zhou Shumei thought about it, the more anxious she became, but Xiao Xiwei seemed to be fine, and went to the painting Jinyuan to ask the Li family for peace at the end of three days, and seemed to treat the Li family as the housewife of the Houfu wholeheartedly.

Xiao Xi slightly helped the lotus flower that had just been folded back in the bottle, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Otherwise?" ”

Zhou Shumei was stunned, looking at Xiao Xi's slightly casual appearance, her eyebrows gradually frowned.

Could it be that she has been co-opted by the Li family? If that's the case, wouldn't she be embarrassed at this time......

Thinking of this, Zhou Shumei raised her eyebrows, stared at Xiao Xi with a smile and said, "Second Miss, have you forgotten where the scar on your forehead came from?" ”

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, looked at his flower arrangement with satisfaction, and then motioned to Ziyan to take the vase away, then turned his face and looked at Zhou Shumei with a smile, "The scar on my forehead was naturally scratched by a wild cat that doesn't have long eyes, so I don't need my aunt to say it again." ”

Looking at Xiao Xiwei, who was smiling calmly at herself, Zhou Shumei suddenly felt that she shouldn't talk to her.

"My aunt has this leisure to speculate here, so why don't I make a snack and send it to my father." Xiao Xi looked at Zhou Shumei with a slight smile.

Zhou Shumei's eyes lit up.

Xiao Xi's eyes flickered, but he lightly swept Zhou Shumei's lower abdomen, and smiled again, "It would be better if I could add another brother for me." ”

Speaking of which, Zhou Shumei still hasn't understood.

That's right, instead of worrying about the Li family's revenge, it is better to catch Lao Xiaoyan's heart, if she is pregnant with a son and a half daughter, then her position in Houfu will not be unstable.

"The concubine is stupid, thank you for the second lady." Zhou Shumei stood up with a smile and saluted.

Xiao Xi smiled, "Auntie is very polite." ”

It was not easy for the Li family to move back from Xiyuan, and now she was busy trying to win Xiao Yan's heart, and she didn't dare to fix anything if she didn't have the effort, but after a while, it wouldn't be necessarily. I just don't know, has she done what she asked Xiao Min to do?

She was thinking about it, when Hongyu walked in with a letter, "Miss, Aunt Zhou, Grandma has a letter." ”

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, took the letter handed over by Hongyu and unfolded it.

"How?" Zhou Shumei couldn't wait.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "Auntie, don't worry, the aunt of the Ni family has already taken care of it." ”

Zhou Shumei's heart that had been hanging for most of the month finally let go.

Xiao Xi pursed his lips and smiled slightly, so now he is waiting for the Li family to make a move.

It's just that before the Li family made a move, the post in the palace went down first. On the night of Qixi Festival, Concubine Shen held a grand party in the palace and invited the ladies and ladies of the various prefectures to go. In previous years, a flower viewing party was held in the palace, but it was a very small number of royal relatives and relatives who were invited, but this time it was widely posted, but I was afraid that there was another mystery in this Qixi dinner. Thinking of what Chu Yanzhi said to her at the old lady's birthday banquet last time, Xiwei felt that Concubine Shen was only coming for her at the Qixi Festival dinner this time......

The old lady was happy when she heard the news, and her step-sister suddenly remembered Ma Daogu's words.

The granddaughter's life is extremely expensive.

There are many holy princes today, except for the older princes who are concubines, the others have not been established. This Qixi dinner suddenly invited so many young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet, I am afraid that they will choose concubines for these princes.

She once persuaded Yan'er not to get involved in the struggle of these princes, the struggle for power for the throne has always been a life of death, and it is difficult to get out of the whole body, and one accidentally accompanied the entire Houfu. However, Yan'er said that the saint had already chosen Xiao Hou, and it was difficult to withdraw even if he wanted to......

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, and she really couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

She knew that Hou Ye was from a humble background and held military power, so it would be difficult to remain neutral, but if it was ......

She was a little afraid to think about it.

"Go, invite the second lady over." She raised her eyes and said calmly to Mama Liu.

She wanted to know what her granddaughter was thinking at this time!

On the side of the painting Jinyuan, Li and Xiao Xile were overjoyed when they heard the news.

Seeing that Li was happy, Mama Zhu also said with a smile beside her, "This is really a rare opportunity, Madame might as well invite the master of Xiangrui Pavilion to make a few sets of beautiful clothes for the third lady." ”

"Yes." Li Shi took Xiao Xile's hand and said happily, "Look at my Jiale'er's appearance, even if you are wearing ordinary clothes, it is one in a hundred." ”

"Mother." Xiao Xile lowered his eyes and shouted affectionately.

"Look, that's pretty shy." Li patted Xiao Xile's hand.

Seeing that the two of them were so happy, Mama Zhu hurriedly said, "Then the slave will send someone to call the master of Xiangrui Pavilion over." ”

Li's eyes suddenly rolled, "Wait a minute." ”

"Madame, what else do you command?" Mama Zhu said.

Li Shi smiled, "This is a post in the palace, and the money for making clothes is naturally from the public, so you can go to the king's steward for the silver!" ”

"Yes." Mama Zhu nodded hurriedly and agreed, and secretly said in her heart, Madam is really shrewd.

Li Shi happily took Xiao Xile's hand and said, "Le'er, you heard from your mother that this opportunity is rare, you must seize the opportunity to climb the Seventh Prince, you know?" ”

The smile on the corner of Xiao Xile's mouth froze, "Seven...... The Seven Princes? ”

"That's right." A gleam flashed in Li's eyes, "Your father told me that the most favored person of the Holy Lord is the Seventh Prince now, and he even intends to make him the prince!" If you can marry her, you will be the mother of a nation in the future! ”

Li's words really startled Mama Zhu.

She didn't expect Madame's heart to be so big, if it was possible in the past, but that time the old lady had a birthday banquet and the seventh prince thought in public that the third lady had an affair with Li Gongzi, and asked the old lady to fulfill the third miss and Li Gongzi in front of everyone, how could he still be willing to marry the third miss?

Compared with Li's excitement, Xiao Xile was a little unhappy, "Mother, the emperor is not only the seventh prince and one prince, maybe the prince next to him can also ......"

Li's face sank, and his gaze swept towards Xiao Xile, "What do you want to say!" ”

Xiao Xile bit his lip, took a deep breath, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "Mother, I'm ...... I like the Four Princes. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Shi shook off Xiao Xile's hand vigorously, and he almost rolled off the bed, "How can you, a young lady who has not left the cabinet, say such a thing!" I just don't think I heard what you said today!

"Mother, what's wrong with the fourth prince? Is he not the same as the Seventh Prince, is he a prince? Xiao Xile was still not convinced.

"Humph! I'm telling you, they're far from it! The Seven Princes have a great chance to ascend to the throne and reign over the world, while the Four Princes ...... With his background, he is a prince! How can there be a woman in this world who doesn't want to be the queen of the world! ”

"I just don't want to! If I can marry the fourth prince, even if I am only a princess, I am very happy. Xiao Xile thought of the day when Chu Yanzhi came to rescue her from fire and water on the day he went to Chao'an Temple, and his face was unconsciously dyed with a layer of red glow.

"You...... You ......" Li pointed at Xiao Xile and said that she was angry, and suddenly, she covered her chest and coughed violently.

In order to be able to get out of Xiyuan, in order to keep Xile from being bullied, and for her to have a good future, she insisted on letting Mama Zhu carry cold water on her head on a hot day. It took her to return to the Painting Garden, but what did she say to her now......

She is going to marry the fourth prince!

"Madam...... Madam Zhu exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Li's while stroking her back for her, while persuading Xiao Xile, "Third Miss, Madame, this is also good for you!" Madame is still sick, but she worries about you everywhere, you ...... You'd better listen to Madame! ”

"At the birthday banquet that day, he insulted me in front of so many people! I! I won't marry her if I die! Xiao Xile gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

Li almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was shaky, "You...... You ......"

Xiao Xile looked at Li's pale face, and couldn't bear it in his heart, but when he thought of abandoning Chu Yanzhi, he felt sad and panicked, and tears welled up at once, "Mother......"

"Le'er! You don't want to marry the Seventh Prince, I won't ......force it," Li stroked his chest and sneered a few times, "But have you ever thought that if you don't marry, who will be the one who will marry the Seventh Prince?" Xiao Xiwei! When the time comes, if she really becomes the queen, you have to kneel down to her every day to say goodbye, and be trampled under her feet by a quilt, are you willing? Are you willing to cheapen her like this? ”

Xiao Xile gritted his teeth, stared at Li, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Le'er...... Mother is just for your good! Li Shi stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Xile's hand back, and tears flowed out, "I have been disliked by the old lady all my life because of my bad background, even if I have become a legitimate housewife, but when I go out to participate in the banquet, the other ladies always look down on me!" Le'er, my mother pointed to you to fight for my mother! ”

Xiao Xile lowered his eyes, and finally stopped talking.

Coming out of Li's room, Xiao Xile's eyes were swollen into a peach, but his heart was like a mess, and he couldn't figure it out.

Let her listen to the words of the Li family and marry the Seventh Prince, but what she likes in her heart is the Fourth Prince, but if Xiao Xiwei is allowed to marry the Seventh Prince, she is unwilling. Can you think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that she can marry the fourth prince as she wishes, and Xiao Xiwei can't marry the seventh prince?

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly jumped by.

Xiao Xile screamed and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Third Miss forgiveness." At this time, a girl hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of Xiao Xile.

"What's that?" Xiao Xile exclaimed.

"Third Miss, that's not a cat, it's just a rabbit raised by a slave maid, and it just accidentally ran out." The girl was busy.

Since Xiao Xiwei's forehead was scratched by a cat, no one in the Houfu has dared to raise a cat.

Hearing the girl mention the cat, Xiao Xile's eyes suddenly lit up.
