The old lady will live for seven days when he goes to Chao'an Temple every year to worship the Buddha, and now he hurriedly took people back to the house in just three days, and the first thing he did when he returned to the house was to order someone to put the third lady Xiao Xile in the ancestral hall.

When Li heard the news and rushed to Jingyuan, the old lady was leaning in front of the couch and closing her eyes to recuperate, while Xiao Xiwei was pressing her shoulder behind her.

"Mother."

Hearing the sound, the old lady raised her eyelids, and when she saw that it was Li, she only glanced at her lightly and did not speak.

Xiao Xiwei walked up to Li and blessed him, "Wei'er has seen her mother." ”

"Haowei'er, I heard that something happened on the way to Chao'an Temple, didn't scare you!" Li stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand, his face was full of worry, and anyone who looked at it felt that Li's stepmother regarded the second lady left by his former wife as if she had come out and cared for her.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly and shook his head gently, "Thank you mother for your concern, my daughter is fine." ”

"You're still steady, your sister is not as good as you, she has been timid since she was a child, her body is weak, and she is ......," Li said while secretly glancing at the old lady.

The old lady snorted coldly, raised her hand and slammed the string of jade beads in her hand on the table, and said angrily, "She is still timid, in my opinion, there is no girl in the boudoir who has her courage!" ”

"Mother." When Li heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his snow-white face was both panic and grievance, "Le'er grew up with you, don't you know her temperament?" How can the sister-in-law in the temple believe the words of the arrangement casually? ”

"Then why don't they arrange others, but they have to arrange her!" The old lady glared at Li Shidao.

In her opinion, the reason why Xile's girl is so bold and reckless is what the Li family is used to! I don't know how thick the sky is!

"Old Taijun, Xile obviously just went to thank the fourth prince for saving her life, but someone with a heart secretly suspected and smeared her reputation, and the daughter-in-law also asked the old lady to investigate the matter thoroughly, arrest those who have a heart, and return Xile to an innocence." Li knelt on the ground and said.

The old lady raised her eyebrows, "Do you think this matter is not big enough?" Don't you think that our loyal and brave Houfu's face is not completely lost! ”

It was not easy for her to suppress this matter, and the Li family still wanted to turn this matter out again! Regardless of whether Xiao Xile went to thank the four princes or something else, it was her fault that she didn't keep the distinction between men and women and let people grasp the handle and spread these rumors! Li is still bent on excusing her! What a stinging mother!

Seeing that Li was about to speak again, the old lady waved her hand impatiently, frowned and said, "Okay, you can go back to your yard if it's okay!" ”

"Mother, my sister was frightened a few days ago, so my grandmother asked my sister to go to the ancestral hall to copy the Buddha's heart and meditate on it, so that the Buddha could protect her, presumably, my sister will come out in a few days." Xiao Xiwei walked up to Li and said with a smile.

Li opened his mouth, but finally swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

She knew the old lady's temper, even if there was a lot of unwillingness in her heart, Li She didn't dare to anger her at this time, with Xiao Xiwei's hand, she blessed the old lady, "The daughter-in-law will retire first." ”

"Grandmother, I won't let you rest anymore." Xiao Xiwei also followed the blessing of the blessed body.

"Go ahead." The old lady, who has always been quite strict with Xiao Xiwei, rarely squeezed out a smile.

The corners of Li's eyebrows jumped fiercely.

What happened in the past few days in Chao'an Temple that made the old lady's attitude towards Xiao Xiwei change?

As soon as he came out of Jingyuan, Li couldn't wait to grab Xiao Xiwei's hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Wei'er, what kind of people are arranging music so much that makes the old lady so angry!" If I ever catch her, I'll have to skin her!" As he spoke, he stared at Xiao Xiwei's eyes.

Xiao Xiwei sneered in his heart, but a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, "Mother, actually...... Is it also not choreographed? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lee's eyebrows furrowed.

Xiao Xi was slightly busy telling Xiao Xile about being molested by several ruffians and hooligans and rescued by the four princes in the marriage pool that day. At the end, she cautiously looked at Li's expression and said, "Mother, the fourth prince saved his sister twice and three times, maybe her sister is ......."

"!" Li interrupted Xiao Xiwei's words sharply.

How could Xile fall in love with the Four Princes!

"Yes, my daughter is talking too much." Xiao Xi lowered his head in panic.

Li stared at Xiao Xi for a long time, and finally softened his face and waved his hand at her, "Forget it, you have worked hard all the way, so go back and rest first." ”

"Yes," Xiao Xi replied slightly, and led the girl away with a hint of trepidation.

"Xiuxin, do you think there's something wrong with this girl?" Li Shi looked at Xiao Xiwei's back and said in a low voice.

Today, the old lady's attitude towards this girl really makes her feel a little strange.

Lao Taijun has never been close to her, and she is also very taboo towards Lao Taijun under her own intentional provocation, but today in Jingyuan, her performance in front of Lao Taijun is really very different from her previous appearance. Although Mama Cui said that in Chao'an Temple, she had been staying in the room to copy the scriptures except for accompanying the old lady to listen to Mrs. Hui's lectures, but she always felt that Xile's affairs had nothing to do with her.

"The slave didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the second miss." Mama Zhu said.

"It's better to be careful in everything, so that Mama Cui can keep an eye on her." Li glanced at Mama Zhu coldly.

"Yes." Mama Zhu hurriedly responded.

As soon as Xiao Yan returned home, he was called to Jingyuan by the old lady, and half an hour later, he went straight to Li's painting brocade garden without even taking a sip of tea.

"How do you discipline your daughter! What a shame! Lose face! ”

When Li Shi heard this, tears welled up, and he said sadly, "Do you also believe the words arranged by others, master?" It's just someone else, Le'er grew up in the palm of your hand since you were a child! “

Washed by the tears of the pear blossom with rain from the Li family, Xiao Yan's anger also disappeared a little, but he still snorted coldly with a straight face.

Li Shi hurriedly stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Yan, pulled the handkerchief and cried, "Master, this is all about the concubine body did not teach Le'er, the master wants to blame the concubine body, just ask Hou'er to see that Le'er has grown up in the palm of your hand since you were a child, and please go to the old lady to ask for a favor, the ancestral hall is cold and wet at night, where can Le'er's body and bones stand it......"

"How can she be so delicate? Wei'er was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the old lady for seven days, and she didn't snort when she didn't see her! "That being said, Xiao Yan still feels a little distressed in his heart." The old lady has been angry in the past few days, let's talk about it in two days! ”

"Master, then, those rumors ......"

"The old lady has ordered someone to suppress this matter."

Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan's voice sounded again.

"I'm afraid that the four princes will make a fuss about this matter......"

"Master, what do you mean......" Li Shi only felt his heart sink, his hands pulled the handkerchief, and his eyes stared at Xiao Yan tightly.

Xiao Yan frowned, pursed his lips and didn't answer for a long time.

Now that the saint is getting older, although the prince has the support of the descendants, the seventh prince is favored by the saint, and the dark tide in the court has long been turbulent. The fourth prince, Chu Yanzhi, was raised under the knees of Shen Guifei since he was a child because his biological mother was born humbly, but Shen Guifei was the sister of the former queen and the prince's own aunt. It was at this time that he suddenly appeared to save the old lady, and these rumors spread inexplicably, which had to make him think a lot......

Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't speak for a long time, Li was so anxious that tears fell from his eyes. Xiao Yan once inadvertently analyzed the situation in the court with her, saying that the Seventh Prince had a good chance to inherit the throne, and he also intended to marry the Seventh Prince. If she hadn't said so, the fourth prince would have been a good choice, but since she heard these words, it would be more than a hundred times better to be a queen than a princess! "Master, you must think of a way!"

Xiao Yan glanced at Li coldly, "What are you still doing in a daze, you can't go down and back up the generous gifts!" ”

Li's eyes flashed, and then he quickly saluted Xiao Yan, "Concubine, let's go down to prepare for the ceremony." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.

Outside the window, a dark cloud drifted without warning, and then it began to rain.

Xiao Yan looked sideways at the pear tree in the yard that had been beaten by the rain, and felt very annoyed inexplicably, and he couldn't suppress it.

What if nothing goes wrong?

There was also a pear tree in the courtyard of Shuyingxuan, and the moist water vapor poured in from the window with a faint fragrance of flowers, Xiao Xi took a deep breath with his eyes closed, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled into a light smile.

Nearly 100 years after the founding of Dayue, the relationship between the wealthy nobles in the capital is intertwined, and Xiao Xiwei's grandfather is loyal and brave Xiao Qi is just a cloth background, even if he was named a loyal and brave candidate by the first emperor by virtue of his outstanding military exploits, but compared to the lack of background in the wealthy families in the capital, he was also looked down upon by these nobles in private. Although the foundation of the Loyal and Brave Mansion is very shallow, but it holds the military power, and now the dark tide is surging, and the princes are fighting openly and secretly, and the loyal and brave Hou who holds the military power has obviously become the object of the prince's wooing. But Xiao Yan's ambition is by no means more than one hero, since it is all gambling, why not gamble! There are already Zheng Guogong and Lu Guogong behind the crown prince, even if he is on the side of the prince, he will ascend the throne in the future, he still can't compare to the status of Zheng Guogong and Lu Guogong, but the seven princes are different...... He is not only favored by the saints, his mother concubine Yan Guifei was born in a poor family, the mother family is not strong, and more importantly, he has not yet established a concubine, if he marries his daughter to the seventh prince as a concubine, then as soon as the seven princes ascend the throne, then he is the abbot above ten thousand people under one person, and who else in this capital can compare to him loyal and brave!

Whether in the past life or in this life, her father is really bent on drilling into the wealth of imperial power! It's a pity that no matter how good the calculation is, in the end, it will still be a mirror......

"Miss, Steward Sun has just left the house." Hongyu pushed the door and walked in, and said in a low voice.

Xiao Xi looked at the drizzle outside, and the corners of his lips unconsciously aroused a trace of coldness.

Before the rain stopped, she asked Steward Sun to give gifts, it seems that her father is really afraid that Chu Yanzhi will take this opportunity to come to the door to propose......

"One more thing......" Hongyu looked at Xiao Xi and stopped talking.

Xiao Xi turned to look at Hongyu slightly, and the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly.

"When the slave and maid returned, they saw it...... Mama Xiao. “

"Mama Xiao?" Xiao Xi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he looked at Hongyu with some puzzlement.

Hongyu pursed her lips for a while before she whispered, "It's the step-lady who sent Zhuangzi to take care of the fourth young lady." ”
