Chapter 25: The Night Banquet 2
As soon as Lin Qingfeng stepped into the hall with his front foot, he was caught off guard when he heard Li Shang's words.
He was a little confused for a moment, and Lin Qingfeng slowly walked to his place and sat down. Looking at the awkward atmosphere between the three of them, they silently ate melons.
Emperor Xuan frowned, his eyes were not good. Before Emperor Xuan could react, Yu Shouxue raised her eyebrows, seeming to be a little surprised.
"Oh? Dare to ask which Lang Jun it is? ”
Li Shang's posture trembled a little unconsciously, he knew which Lang Jun it was!! This is what he is talking about!
"Back to the Holy One, Your Highness." He swallowed his saliva, feeling his throat tighten a little.
The gossipy eyes of everyone glanced back and forth on him, Li Shang was a little dead, but he still followed the words just now and began to make it up, "Weichen doesn't know either." ”
"You don't know?"
"Exactly. The little girl is usually unrestrained, and a few days ago she told us that she had a favorite person, but she never told us who it was. ”
Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, and Li Shang's words seemed absurd and unjustified, but there seemed to be some truth.
Today, I heard that Yu Shouxue was interested in the Li family's girl, and she originally wanted to marry him, but now he can't do it with Li Shang's words.
If they have to settle on this family business, they will have some sense of forced marriage, and they will make people laugh when they say it.
Emperor Xuan's face was ugly for a moment, and he didn't say a word. Yu Shouxue looked at Li Shang's head getting lower and lower, and her words seemed to be reassuring.
"Master Li doesn't have to be nervous, since Ling Qianjin already has a favorite person, then this hall will naturally not snatch love."
The stone in Li Shang's heart was just about to be put down, when he heard his next words, it hung up again.
"It's just that now Ling Qianjin is not married, and I hope that the general will give the palace a chance to get along with her."
"Feelings, you always have to get along." Yu Shouxue looked at Li Shang, her tone seemed casual but with a hint of threat.
"You said yes? General Lee? ”
"Yes......" Li Shang lowered his head, secretly scolding his mother in his heart, but he had to echo, "What His Highness said is true. ”
The turmoil ended in plain sight.
Li Shang's legs trembled a little when he returned to his seat, and when he turned his head and saw Lin Qingfeng looking at him with an expression of "good luck", his heart became more and more anxious.
"Brother Li, when did Ah Kite intersect with the Third Prince?" Lin Qingfeng was puzzled, and after watching it for a long time, he realized that it was His Royal Highness and Emperor Xuan who failed to marry, so he began to make forced arrangements.
"How do I know that!" Li Shang only thinks that this world is really mysterious, and two people who can't beat him with eight poles are now actually talking to him that they have a crush on his daughter?
He whispered to Lin Qingfeng, "But listening to the words of the third prince, Kite shouldn't have any impression of him." It should be that the third prince accidentally saw what she did, which left an impression. ”
The two thought for a moment and felt that there was some truth.
It's just that Li Shang is becoming more and more depressed in his heart, the emperor's family has always been a power dispute, even if these three princes say such things today, how sincere are they?
He struggled in the middle of the court, but he never thought of dragging his family into this troubled water.
And Lin Qingfeng came back from the outside, and he was not at all as casual as before.
Li Shang was bored, but he was a little restrained at the moment, he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he sat on the seat and bowed his head and drank alcohol.
Here, Lin Wangshu and Li Iris, completely unaware of the episode that happened at the palace banquet.
The two of them stood downstairs in the Golden Jade Building, not caring at all about the shocked eyes of the people around them and Boss Zhang, and uncovered the mystery of the last lantern riddle.
"These two little girls can answer all twenty questions correctly!"
"At such a young age, he is so smart! It's amazing. ”
Lin Wangshu and Li Iris went upstairs with envious eyes from others and took the jade wrench from Boss Zhang.
Boss Zhang was a little emotional, looking at the two people in front of him and not hiding his appreciation at all.
"The two of you are really smart, the old man and the guys in the store have been thinking about these twenty puzzles for more than half a month, and the two of them have answered them all, it's not simple!"
Li Yuan smiled and said polite words to Boss Zhang, "Boss Zhang has won the award, we just love to read these books on weekdays, and we are lucky for a while." ”
"Where, where."
Boss Zhang smiled, handed the wrench to the two, and announced to the people downstairs, "The big guys have seen it tonight, so the ownership of this wrench is the girl in front of you!" ”
There was a cheer below, and the three of the Jiang family looked for the noise and just arrived in front of the Jinyu Building, they saw Lin Wangshu and Li Yuanyuan coming down from the upper floor happily.
Lin Qingyun looked at the crowd around him and asked, "This?" It's already over? ”
Standing on the second floor, the little girl had already begun to dismantle the lanterns with lantern riddles written on them, Lin Wangshu heard this, jumped next to a few people and said with a smile: "Yes, the kite is amazing, she answered all the twenty riddles correctly!" ”
Li Kite took out the jade wrench and showed them it, smiling, "This is the color head tonight." ”
Mrs. Li looked at the wrench and touched Li Kite's hair, "Our Kite is awesome!" ”
There are people coming and going on the street, a few people are standing on the side of the street, talking and laughing, and the various lanterns reflect the faces of several people in a blur.
It's just that how long is there such a peaceful time?
-------------------------------------
As soon as Mrs. Li returned home with Li Yuan, she saw Li Shang returning from the banquet with a worried look.
sent Li Kite back to sleep, and then stepped forward to ask what the situation was and what happened.
Li Shang, a burly man who is five big and three thick on weekdays, was a little hesitant at this time, he looked at Mrs. Li's eyes dodging, and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Oops! What the hell is going on! Say it! ”
Li Shang clenched his fists and squeezed out a sentence from his nose, and when he listened carefully, he still had a bit of gnashing of teeth.
"The third prince has taken a fancy to our kites."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Li stood up and widened her eyes, "Third prince? When did he meet us kites? ”
Li Shang took her hand and pressed her down on the stool to sit down again. Shen Sheng told me what happened at the night banquet.
Long.
Mrs. Li listened to Li Shang's words, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be broken.
"Doesn't the Holy Lord and the Third Highness mean that we are ready to marry the kite?"
Her face was in a trance, her eyes were red, her voice was a little choked, and she looked like she wanted to cry.
"In this way, you have used such an excuse, but they still have this attitude, don't they just want to force us?"
"No, no."
Mrs. Li's hand holding the handkerchief was shaking, "What kind of place is the palace?" Eat people without spitting out bones! If the nature of the kite passes, then I don't know how to die! ”
"Madam, don't get excited, let's sit down and talk well, don't cry first!" Li Shang hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of Mrs. Li's eyes, but was pushed away.
"How could I not be excited! How could I not be in a hurry! ”
"The kite is the meat of my heart! How much is the three princes true and how much is false? ”
"General! Do you really mean that I am a woman who does not understand? The crown prince and the Third Highness have always been at odds, and the Third Highness is like this, do you want to marry our kite, or do you fancy the military power in the hands of the general! ”
"Madame!"
Li Shang's eyelids jumped, and he was shocked by Mrs. Li's words, "You be quiet, this is heard, don't say it's a kite, the entire Li family is going to be unlucky!" ”
Mrs. Li was comforted by Li Shang, sat on the stool, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, and she hid her face with a handkerchief and cried for a while.
Li Shang was really distressed to see his wife like this, he walked to the side and gently patted her back with his hand, and the rough male voice was deliberately softened.
"How could I not know the depth of the water? The iris is also my baby bump, how could I be willing to let her go to a place like the palace and be reduced to a funeral object of power? ”
"Then you say! What are we going to do! Mrs. Li's eyes were red, and she grabbed Li Shang's sleeve and sobbed.
Li Shang sighed, "Don't worry, let's think about it first." Don't let Iris know about this, lest she worry. ”
As the night grew darker, the full moon hung on the tops, and there were scattered weepings in the huge courtyard.
A gust of wind passed, and the cry was accompanied by a helpless sigh.
"They're trying to force me! It is necessary to force the Li family to oppose the crown prince, and the three princes are the main ones. ”
