Lanyue Pavilion.

The lake is frozen, and the pavilion is covered with thick snow.

A girl wearing a white fox fur robe and a pure appearance, with white skin like a porcelain doll, and a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, as bright as stars.

She was quietly holding a paper umbrella, standing in the pavilion waiting.

When she saw Li Ye's figure shuttling through the wind and snow, a smile bloomed on the girl's face, like a hundred flowers blooming, dispelling the cold of winter, and her eyes were bent like crescent moons, as if the spiritual charm also overflowed.

Between a smile and a smile, it is really like a pearl fainting, beautiful jade is shining, and there is a clear breath of a book between the eyebrows.

Zhao Longcheng himself is a handsome guy, his genetics are naturally good, Zhao Qingling's appearance, from the perspective of Li Ye and his wife, is almost perfect, there is nothing to find fault with.

"Brother Ye," the girl shouted shyly with a hint of blush on her face, bowing her head.

The tutor in Wuwei Wangfu is extremely strict, and the young lady who has not left the cabinet cannot meet privately with men outside the family without permission.

If Zhao Qingling hadn't been arranged by Zhao Longcheng, with her shy personality, even if she wanted to see Li Ye again, it would have been almost impossible to take the initiative to invite Li Ye to the pavilion for a private meeting.

"Miss Qingling, I don't know if Miss called me here, what are your orders?" Li Ye looked indifferent, leaned over, and asked lightly.

Zhao Qingling listened to Li Ye's cold and distant words, the faint smile on his face disappeared, and a slight sense of sadness floated on his face.

Li Ye pretended not to see the change in Zhao Qingling's expression, it's not that he doesn't understand the customs, it's just that now he is too weak, if he marries Zhao Qingling now, he can only become a tool of the Zhao family, which Li Ye never wants to see.

What's more, in and out of the Zhao family over the years, I have also seen a little bit of the Zhao family's secret strength, and even this tip of the iceberg has already made Li Ye extremely frightened.

The eleventh family, although there are internal struggles, most of them belong to healthy competition, and they have been married to each other for thousands of years, and they have long been in the same spirit.

The Zhao family is one of the eleventh families, and the other ten families are his natural helpers.

Secondly, Wuwei in the northwest of the Zhao family's fiefdom has been fighting all year round, and the private army under his command is not only numerous, but also the best in the world.

Zhao Mingyi, the king of Wuwei, and Zhao Longcheng are both famous marshals.

Moreover, the Zhao family also hid a lot of strength, twelve years ago, Wuwei City was broken by a mere 50,000 Xia troops.

Li Ye now has a wider horizon and has collected more information, and it is inferred that the Zhao family must not really contribute.

First, it may be to defile itself and eliminate the imperial court's wariness of the Zhao family, after all, Emperor Chu suppressed the martial arts, and the Zhao family may be really dangerous if it maintains the prestige of the previous Weigai Northwest.

Second, maybe it was to send the third prince a favor, Wuwei was in danger, the third prince led the troops to support in time, the fault was the fault of the Zhao family, the command was not effective, and the Xia army entered the city, and the credit was the third prince's, saving the mistake made by the Zhao family.

Over the years, the prince's power has grown, and Emperor Chu is not at ease, so he has supported several other princes, and the position of the prince is a little precarious.

The Three Princes are in the limelight, and the Zhao family, as the object of the alliance of the Three Princes, has gained a lot of benefits over the years.

The Zhao family even faintly has the status of the head of the world's families.

There are many benefits to being attached to the Zhao family, but Li Ye is unwilling, because he is not a member of the Zhao family after all, he will be self-reliant sooner or later, and when the time comes, he will take the benefits of the Zhao family and betray the independence of the Zhao family, he has no sense of guilt psychologically, but he is afraid of the opinions of the world.

Even if Li Ye was born in the grass people, he didn't think that he would be able to get the family's dependency and allegiance in the future, but the allegiance of the grass people, he still needs at least it, so he also has to worry about the reputation problem, if he is a betrayer, how can he ask his subordinates to be loyal to him.

That's why Li Ye will do his best to repay the kindness of the Zhao family, and even do things for the Zhao family, much more than the benefits he got from the Zhao family.

Zhao Qingling and Li Ye had some contact, and the library building was the place where they met the most.

Zhao Qingling's martial arts talent is not high, and his personality likes to be quiet and does not like to move, so he spends more of his free time reading books.

Li Ye often comes to the library, otherwise he can't read all the books in the entire library in just twelve years.

The library building has seven floors and a large area, Zhao Qingling, as a young lady who has not left the cabinet, has her own independent compartment, and only when she comes out to get books, Li Ye occasionally takes pictures with her.

Zhao Qingling is an introverted and shy, but very blue-hearted little girl, Li Ye himself doesn't want to have too much to do with the people of the Zhao family, so he won't take the initiative to communicate.

Therefore, when they were young, Li Ye and Zhao Qingling met, and there was no communication at all.

Later, I met a lot in the library, and the two of them were nodding friends, and they would smile lightly when they met, and that's it.

But since three years ago, perhaps because Zhao Qingling has grown up and his love has just begun, Zhao Qingling began to take the initiative to talk to Li Ye.

As time went by, the number of times Zhao Qingling asked Li Ye to meet became more and more frequent.

"With your reading speed, you should have read all the books on the seventh floor today," Zhao Qingling asked, although it was a question, but the tone was very affirmative.

Li Ye nodded and did not speak.

Zhao Qingling took a deep breath and stared at Li Ye's eyes tightly, but Li Ye lowered his eyelids and did not look at her.

"After reading it, will you not come to the library again in the future?" Zhao Qingling said with a slight trembling tone.

"Hmm," Li Ye replied lightly.

"Isn't there anything else here for you to remember except for books?" Zhao Qingling held back her shame and said, she is a person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, although she is introverted, she will do her best to fight for the things she recognizes.

Zhao Qingling can roughly understand Li Ye's thoughts, but she doesn't understand why Li Ye is so reluctant to have anything to do with the Zhao family.

It is impossible for Zhao Qingling not to complain about Li Ye's indifference, but she knows that if she doesn't meet Li Ye this time because of shame or anger, and then fight for it one last time, then maybe in the future, it will really be impossible for her and Li Ye.

Love, it's not like it's about it, after all, love is two-sided.

But Zhao Qingling must have a great impression of Li Ye.

Zhao Qingling understands that her marriage is inautonomous, she is in the courtyard of the deep house, and what she can contact is women and children, and Li Ye is the first outside person of the opposite sex to enter her life.

Especially three years ago, her father, Zhao Longcheng, talked to her in private, so that she could try to have more contact with Li Ye.

Father didn't say much, but with Zhao Qingling's intelligence, he naturally understood what his father meant.

In Zhao Qingling's view, Li Ye is elegant and cold, like Aoxue Hanmei, lonely and self-appreciative, which is somewhat similar to her temperament, which makes her very favorable;

The combination of the two, since you can't marry freely in the future and don't know who to marry, now that you have the opportunity, you must work hard to marry someone you like.
