Liu Binyuan looked at Xiao Ying'er in a daze, seeing that Xiao Ying'er was a little uncomfortable, she smiled and blurted out: "What do you see! I just said that Miss is really beautiful, right?"

Li Xianru heard Xiao Ying'er's expression a little strange, and looked at Liu Binyuan with some suspicion, and her expression seemed to be dissatisfied. Liu Guanglei also felt that Liu Binyuan was really rude to stare at Xiao Ying'er like this, so he hurriedly stabbed him with his elbow, and waited until Liu Binyuan came back to his senses, pulled him to salute Li Xianru and Xiao Ying'er, and then led the Liu family to leave.

As soon as they left, Xiao Ying'er couldn't help but raise her head curiously and asked Li Xianru: "Mother, what are they doing in Benhai City?"

Li Xianru didn't answer her question, stared at Xiao Ying'er's eyes and asked, "Do you know this Liu Gongzi?"

"That's right. She pretended to be a maid and wanted to get out, but was told by Li Xianru about Liu Binyuan's misunderstanding. She has been caught by Li Xianru naughty many times, and she doesn't mind telling her mother, but she actually has a secret pride in her heart.

Xiao Ying'er suddenly caught a glimpse of the box in the yard, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to go forward to open it, but was stopped by Li Xianru. Li Xianru hurriedly whispered: "Not busy, not busy." Opening it is equivalent to saying yes......"

Xiao Yizhan looked at Li Xianru's anxious expression, showed a wry smile, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Xianru's face at him, he had to keep silent.

"You go play first. Recently, I'm still a little farther away from the people of the Liu family. Li Xianru pulled Xiao Ying'er out of the door and instructed.

"Okay, okay, got it. Xiao Ying'er waved her hand perfunctorily and went to take care of herself.

When Xiao Ying'er left her sight, Li Xianru turned around and said to Xiao Yizhan: "During this time, pay attention to entertaining the people of the Liu family and send some clever and pleasing people." ”

"Well, I've got someone to do it. Xiao Yizhan nodded.

Li Xianru looked at the boxes in the yard and said, "Let's find someone to move these boxes too, be careful not to open them, and find a room to keep them safe." ”

Xiao Yizhan agreed one by one, and quickly ordered his subordinates to do it. Then Xiao Yizhan vacated the space, looked at the expression on Li Xianru's face, and asked tentatively: "Mother, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Xianru sighed: "This kind of thing, who can be a mother so easily and happily agree, not to mention that Ying'er is still young, I was going to refuse politely." It's just that the other party seems to be very sincere, and the conditions offered don't seem to allow us to refuse, and now the battle situation in Yunzhou is stalemate, and the prince doesn't teach for a day, and I can't rest assured for a day. If 30,000 Shuozhou soldiers can raid Yunzhong City from the north, this is indeed the best chance to defeat Yunzhou. Moreover, the establishment of contact with Shuozhou, in the long run, is also beneficial to the Chengji Palace. ”

Xiao Yizhan listened to Li Xianru's analysis and nodded. Li Xianru continued: "Ying'er seems to be able to talk to this Liu family kid, which should be a happy thing. It's just that I don't always have a taste in my heart, maybe I'm getting older and more selfish. As she spoke, Li Xianru smiled.

Xiao Yizhan comforted her: "It's okay, it's common for my mother to be difficult to accept for a while." If it doesn't work, we'll delay it for a few days and then tell Ying'er, anyway, the 30,000 Shuozhou army is already on the way, and the Liu family is not in a hurry for the next few days. “

Li Xianru shook her head: "Long pain is better than short pain, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to give up." I'll talk to her personally. It's just that I'm a little worried about her reaction. ”

"You're afraid she won't agree?"

Li Xianru smiled, doting on her: "I'm afraid that she will be too happy to agree." ”

......

Li Xianru sat in the side hall of the palace, and Xiao Yizhan sat next to her. The two of them were sitting in a precarious position, looking very serious, and Xiao Ying'er was sitting opposite, blinking at her mother and eldest brother, looking at their serious expressions, she couldn't say how funny.

Xiao Ying'er couldn't help but ask: "Why did you call me here for nothing, and you didn't say a word." ”

Li Xianru coughed lightly twice, and said with a straight face: "Ying'er, you always asked the people of the Liu family what they were doing in Benhai City before. I'll tell you today. ”

"Ah, I thought something was going on. Xiao Ying'er didn't seem very interested, and after the previous curiosity, this question couldn't arouse her interest.

"The Liu family is rooted in Shuozhou in the north, although it does not have the name of a prince, but its strength is stronger than many princes. If they are willing to help your father, they will be able to break the deadlock in Yunzhou for months. Li Xianru continued.

Xiao Ying'er's eyes lit up: "That's fine." It's been almost half a year since Daddy was gone, and it's time to come back. ”

Li Xianru and Xiao Yizhan glanced at each other, thinking that although Xiao Ying'er was naughty, she always knew the general situation.

"Then we should always accede to their requests with the help of others, right?"

"That's nature. Is the Liu family's request related to me?" Xiao Ying'er asked with her head sideways, vaguely aware that her mother had an ulterior motive for calling her.

Li Xianru nodded and said: "They want to form an alliance with Benhai City, and from now on, Benhai City and Shuozhou will share honor and disgrace and fight against strong enemies, which is a good thing, but what you need to know is that one of the conditions for making the alliance stable is marriage." After speaking, she looked at Xiao Ying'er's face, paying attention to her reaction.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ying'er thought about it sideways, and then asked with a serious face, "What is marriage?"

Li Xianru was speechless for a while, and said with a forehead: "This ...... Didn't Mr. tell you about the history of Longyuan?" Xiao Ying'er scratched her head embarrassedly: "I forgot." ”

Xiao Yizhan smiled bitterly and took over the conversation: "It must be that you didn't listen to Mr. Lecturing." Marriage is to establish ties through marriage, that is, after marriage, the Liu family is equivalent to our relatives, and this alliance is naturally more reliable. Then he tentatively asked, "You ought to know what the relationship is when you make a marriage, right?"

Xiao Ying'er glanced at Xiao Yizhan: "Naturally I know." Then this marriage is to send a daughter-in-law to the eldest brother!"

Xiao Yizhan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Nonsense! This Liu family is clearly a young man, how can he send me a daughter-in-law!" After speaking, he seemed to think of something, "But the head of the Liu family seems to have an eldest daughter, and for some reason, it is not her ......who is married."

Li Xianru glared at Xiao Yizhan, as if accusing him of diverting the topic, finally Xiao Ying'er took a moment seriously, but don't pull her attention away again. Then she said to Xiao Ying'er: "It's not your eldest brother who is married, it's you, and the other party is Liu Binyuan." ”

Xiao Ying'er's small face suddenly had a very rich expression, first surprised, then thoughtful, and then suddenly laughed.

Li Xianru and Xiao Yizhan were inexplicable and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It is said that after getting married, I want to move to my husband's house, then my father and mother can't control me!"

"You...... You ......" Li Xianru suddenly became angry and laughed, and scolded: "It's still childish to be such an adult! What if your husband's family treats you badly? What if you are separated from us and it is difficult to see each other? Raise you so big, how can we treat you badly, but you just want to avoid us......" Li Xianru's voice was a little choked.

Li Xianru has always been peaceful and majestic, and rarely loses her temper, Xiao Ying'er saw that her mother was about to cry, and she panicked: "Mother, I'm talking nonsense, you ...... Don't cry......"

Xiao Yizhan was also taken aback, and hurriedly comforted Li Xianru: "Mother, don't worry, what Ying'er said is just a joke." As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Xiao Ying'er. Xiao Ying'er only stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to refute.

Li Xianru took two deep breaths, came to her senses, and said softly: "Ying'er, although we are not against marriage, you have to think about it clearly, marriage is a major event in your life. If you object, we ...... You can also discuss it again, we don't mean to force you......"

"I agree. Xiao Ying'er's crisp voice interrupted Li Xianru. "It can not only help Daddy, but also benefit Benhai City, so I naturally want to agree. ”

"Then aren't you afraid that Liu Binyuan will treat you badly? This is a lifelong thing. Li Xianru asked.

Xiao Ying'er blinked her eyes and thought about it, and replied, "It shouldn't be, I think that kid from the Liu family seems to be a good person...... If he dares to treat me badly, I'll run back. ”

Li Xianru and Xiao Yizhan were a little surprised by Xiao Ying'er's reaction, but they didn't expect Xiao Ying'er to have a good impression of Liu Binyuan, as for her willful and naughty temperament, they had long been used to it. Xiao Yizhan's face was happy, and although Li Xianru was a little stunned, she still breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"It's okay, then I'm going out!" Xiao Ying'er saw that the two of them didn't mean to continue to teach themselves, so they ran out in a hurry. Li Xianru suddenly remembered something, stopped Xiao Ying'er, and then motioned for Xiao Yizhan to leave first.

She looked at Xiao Ying'er and asked with some hesitation, "You know...... Belch...... What should I do when I get married?"

Xiao Ying'er looked at her mother blankly and shook her head.

Li Xianru seemed to have been brewing for a long time, looking at Xiao Ying'er's blank expression, she finally sighed, held her forehead and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later, you can go out." ”

She looked at Xiao Ying'er Huan's detached figure and scolded: "This kid can't hide anything in his heart." His face showed a kind smile.
