While Li Jiaoer was talking, the person had already entered the courtyard.

The little guy behind him panicked, but he was caught by the clouds, so he could only shout: "Madam! The prince is busy, busy! ”

Yun Tuan simply threw him aside, gave him a blank look, and chirped, "Phew, bad guy." ”

After that, he followed Li Jiaoer into the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, the little maid was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and in the courtyard, Li Jiaoer had just bypassed the shadow wall, and saw a man in brown coming out of the direction of the study, standing on the porch and arching his hand to Li Jiaoer: "Madam." ”

It is Xue Zhen's personal servant Changfeng, and it is also the most respectful "madam" that Li Jiaoer got from the servants of the Marquis of Anyang today, and even his gaze is different from others.

Li Jiao'er walked to the bottom of the steps and stood still, looking up at him slightly: "I want to see the son." ”

Chang Feng's expression was still respectful, but the words he said were no different from others: "Mrs. Hui, there have been political troubles recently, and the prince really can't see Mrs., so please go back." ”

Li Jiao'er's complexion was still the same, her fingertips gently brushed the phoenix on the box, and said with a smile: "What the prince is worried about is the matter of the envoy of the Chen State, right?" Then he should know that I can help him. ”

With that, walk up the stairs.

Chang Bong was stunned by what she said, and didn't stop her anymore.

In this moment, Li Jiaoer had already bypassed him and walked to the door of the study.

*

In the middle of summer, it was hot in the afternoon today, and the door of Xue Zhen's study was open, and a newly made bamboo curtain was hung.

But Li Jiaoer was not in the mood to appreciate it, hugged the box, opened the curtain and walked in.

Changbong and the clouds followed.

"The son forgives sins." As soon as he entered the door, Chang Feng first faced Xue Zhen, who was standing behind the desk, and pleaded guilty.

Xue Zhen, who was dressed in a jade-colored regular clothes, was still standing in place, holding a pen, and on the table in front of him was a large character with half a piece of paper written on it, and looked up at Li Jiao'er.

Zhilan Yushu, the twenty-two-year-old Hou Shizi of Anyang, is outstanding and worthy of the reputation of the first son in Beijing.

It's just that when facing Li Jiao'er, he tightened his face without a trace of smile.

And when Li Jiaoer met his gaze, she also saw the disgust that flashed in his peach blossom eyes.

She lowered her gaze and sighed.

In the past, every time she looked at Xue Zhen with disgust, Li Jiaoer would introspect herself in a panic, did she dress up to his liking? Is your behavior too impetuous? Did you do something wrong?

So after arriving at the Xue family, he became quieter and quieter, moved less and less, and dressed up more and more simply.

The mother-in-law persuaded her that he was just going through a change, taciturn, and introverted, and she believed it stupidly, thinking that people's hearts are flesh and blood, and she still can't cover him?

But now, Li Jiaoer will no longer deceive herself, she is silent and introverted, Xue Zhen just hates herself.

What he likes turned out to be Mrs. Chen, who was warm and generous, and even cried and made a fuss in his eyes, presumably because of the depth of love.

Since you are ruthless, I will take a break, and after figuring this out, she will not be so aggrieved.

Li Jiaoer just didn't understand why Xue Zhen treated her like this.

*

Their marriage contract was obtained because her mother saved Xue Zhen's grandfather An Lao Houye, and her parents didn't take it seriously, and when she was ten years old, the Xue family sent someone to Xue Zhen to propose marriage to the eldest girl of the Li family.

Everyone in Beijing knows that Xiao Xue Gongzi is good at learning, good looking, and talented and knowledgeable in today's eyes, and he has been a prince since he was five years old.

Xue Zhen's father and brother - the prince and eldest prince of Anyang at that time - were very capable, so he was destined to be unable to attack the lord, but with Xue Zhen's knowledge and courage, as well as the favor of the Son of Heaven, he could also live without worry.

It's a good marriage.

But a year after the marriage was decided, Xue Zhen's father and brother both died due to the explosion of the armory.

The old marquis An, who was not very reliable, was stimulated by the news of the death of his eldest son and grandson, and he didn't even bother to take care of things.

Fifteen-year-old Xue Zhen was given a word and a crown by the current Jianlong Emperor, and became the prince of the Marquis of Anyang.

The day after the decree came down, Xue Zhen personally went to his house and told his parents that he would keep filial piety for his father and brother for three years, and asked the girl of the Li family to wait for another three years.

Parents like Xue Zhen very much, so they will naturally agree, after all, Li Jiaoer is only eleven years old, and she will be fourteen years old in three years, and she can wait for another year, and she will remarry when she is fifteen years old, which is just right.

At that time, the ignorant Li Jiaoer only knew that he was his future father-in-law, and now that his father and brother have died, he must be very sad.

So she ran out to see him and gave him the dragon beard candy that she was reluctant to eat.

When Xue Zhen met her eyes that day, he smiled at her slightly.

That smile made Li Jiaoer remember from ignorance to marriage.

But two months after that meeting, her mother also fell ill.

Li Jiao'er cried and fainted several times, and when she fainted and woke up for the fourth time, it happened that Xue Zhen came and secretly stuffed her with a box full of dragon beard candy.

Now that she has been married for three years, Li Jiaoer even wonders if there is something wrong with her brain? I misremembered that smile, and I misremembered the box of dragon beard candy?

Since he hates himself, it's good not to marry her, don't say anything about the Xue family, and his family has never been a marriage contract.

Why should you marry her and abandon her as if she were a shoe?

The thought was only for a moment, Li Jiao'er adjusted her mood, looked up at Xue Zhen again, and called him: "Shizi." ”

No more dodging and shame on yourself.

It was Xue Zhen, who avoided her gaze before he could realize the alienation in her gaze.

He put down his pen and asked Chang Feng and Yun Tuan coldly, "Go out." ”

Chang Feng immediately withdrew from the study, and although Yun Tuan was also afraid, he still held his neck and did not move, using this to support his own young lady.

Li Jiao'er looked back at her: "Go out." ”

Only then did the cloud bow and retreat.

*

Now only Xue Zhen and Li Jiaoer are left in the study.

Li Jiao'er knew that Xue Zhen had heard what she said outside, and she didn't like to sell Guan Zi, so she only put the box in her hand on the table and asked, "In a few days, it will be the queen's thousand years, and the prince can prepare a birthday gift?" ”

Xue Zhen frowned and said bluntly, "No." ”

Thick disgust, I didn't bother to say many notes.

Li Jiao'er has a good temper and won't quarrel, and she doesn't want Xue Zhen to look down on her anymore, so she simply didn't speak, but raised her hand and pressed the raised phoenix eyes on the wooden box.

The lid of the wooden box popped open, and a wooden phoenix covered in gold jumped up from the box, circled twice over the box, shook off countless gold colors, and after letting out a whistle, it actually fell back into the box and stood with its head held high.

Although Xue Zhen had a plan in his heart because of Li Jiaoer's family history and what she said at the door, when he saw this miraculous skill at this moment, he couldn't care about his cold face, his eyes showed surprise, and he blurted out: "Yanshu? ”

It can be even more wonderful than what Chen Guo's envoys bringed!

Although Li Jiaoer was smiling on her face, she couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her heart.

She told herself not to be distracted, put away the phoenix, closed the box, hugged it in her arms again, and said indifferently: "It's just a gadget from the Karakura Pavilion, and the prince thinks it's better than-"

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Xue Zhen's face suddenly became even more gloomy than when he first saw her, and there seemed to be blood in his eyes staring at her!
