After Li Yaoguang returned to the palace from Biezhuang on the outskirts of the city, he heard that the queen had summoned him.

Today's queen is the biological mother of the crown prince, and Li Yaoguang's maternal grandmother all say that they are related to each other, and the relationship between Li Yaoguang and the queen has always been very close.

It's just that after the wedding banquet, the queen died of illness a few days later, and everyone said that it was Li Yaoguang and Li Xiao's scandal that killed the queen in anger, but in fact it was not.

It's still Ye Shenyue's dry.

After she was reborn, she deliberately befriended a well-known poison doctor in the rivers and lakes, and obtained a colorless and odorless poison from him that made people die slowly in seven days, and poisoned the queen at the marriage banquet.

The reason for poisoning the queen was because Ye Shenyue was sent by the queen to beat her with fifty lashes because of her plot against Li Yaoguang in her previous life, and she almost killed Ye Shenyue.

Li Yaoguang was almost speechless to death - eldest sister, didn't you poison me first? You don't deserve to be beaten?

The queen summoned her, and Li Yaoguang didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she hurried to the Lizheng Hall where the queen lived.

didn't think about it, Li Xiao was also there.

Li Yaoguang was a little confused, at this point, shouldn't the eldest brother discuss with the imperial grandfather in the imperial study?

When the queen saw Li Yaoguang coming, a kind smile appeared on her somewhat old face: "Phoenix, come to grandmother." ”

Li Yaoguang suppressed the doubts in his heart, trotted to the queen's side with his skirt, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "I haven't seen the imperial grandmother for many days!" ”

The queen was very happy: "How old is the child, and you still love Jiaojiao so much?" Look at your big brother, how steady. ”

Li Yaoguang glanced at Li Xiao and snorted: "The eldest brother is a person who is going to get married, so he is naturally stable." ”

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little - she didn't want to get married in the first place, and now she mentions this stubble, isn't she in a hurry to give it away?

Sure enough, the queen said, "Ah...... Phoenix reminded me. A few days ago, your imperial grandfather and I watched all the top-notch Lang Jun in Chang'an City, and there were a few good ......"

Li Yaoguang hurriedly looked at Li Xiao for help.

A smile flashed between Li Xiao's beautiful eyebrows, and then he interrupted the queen gently: "Grandmother Huang, the phoenix is still young, and my father and I are reluctant." ”

The queen glanced at Li Xiao with disgust: "You kid too...... I know that you are reluctant to give up the phoenix, but the phoenix can't never marry for the rest of your life, right? ”

Li Yaoguang's eyes rolled and said, "Imperial grandmother, I don't want to get married...... Don't you see Aunt Pingyang is not married? Every day, I eat tea and listen to music with a few good-looking Xiaolangjun, so happy! ”

When the queen heard this, she also hesitated a little.

The Jokhang atmosphere is relatively open, and it is not uncommon for aristocratic girls to raise their faces, but ...... But most of them are also married.

However, Fenghuang'er was pampered and raised by the entire palace, and if she is really asked to marry, I am afraid they will not be reluctant.

So the queen settled down and asked with a smile: "Listen to the meaning of Phoenix, is it already a sight?" ”

Li Yaoguang and the queen didn't notice that Li Xiao on the side had some undercurrent, unclear emotions in his eyes.

Li Xiao lowered her eyes - So, Phoenix didn't want to get married...... Is it for this reason?

Li Yaoguang thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes...... But I don't know what people mean, so don't be too rash. ”

Fake.

Li Yaoguang said this purely to make the queen dispel her thoughts of looking at others for her.

The queen made up her mind in her heart to see who Li Yaoguang had taken a fancy to, and when she saw that Li Yaoguang's face was a little red (deliberately holding her breath), she was a little funny, so she didn't continue to ask.

Li Yaoguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing the meal, she and Li Xiao went back to the East Palace together.

It's a little late now, the night is dark, Jiang Xingmeng is holding a palace lamp in his hand, with peony painted on it, the warm orange candle flame is faint, and the moonlight sets off each other, which is particularly cute.

Li Xiao was holding a string of Bodhi seeds in his hand, he tilted his head slightly, and looked at Li Yaoguang: "I heard that in three days, Phoenix is going to hold a spring banquet on the outskirts of the city?" ”

Li Yaoguang glanced at Li Xiao with a smile: "Big brother's news has always been very well-informed. ”

Li Xiao turned the Bodhi in his hand, and a gentle smile appeared between his beautiful eyebrows: "I have always been concerned about the affairs of Phoenix. ”

After a pause, he lowered his eyes and asked, "You want to feast on the Ye family?" ”

Li Yaoguang was stunned, and then teased: "Listen to this...... The eldest brother is very concerned about the future sister-in-law. ”

Li Xiao paused in the action of turning the Bodhizi, and then looked at Li Yaoguang with a smile, under the moonlight, his black eyes were particularly deep: "Maybe...... Ye's daughter is not shallow, in fact, I am seriously considering the matter of withdrawing from my family. ”

Li Yaoguang's heart moved.

If the eldest brother is willing to take the initiative to withdraw from his family, it would actually be better - but if nothing particularly affects the family's affairs, in this world, few people will choose to withdraw from their relatives.

What's more, the eldest brother is still the king of Nan'an County, and today's grandson, the marriage was nodded by the emperor's grandfather, and the possibility of retiring is even smaller.

Li Yaoguang had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't show it on his face, and said casually: "Really? I don't believe you when you talk angrily. ”

Li Xiao: "......"

Li Xiao laughed angrily, immediately stopped, gently raised her hand and pinched the tip of Li Yaoguang's chin, slightly forcing her to raise her face, and said in a gentle tone: "Does Phoenix listen to me carefully?" ”

Li Yaoguang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with such intimacy, she blinked and said obediently: "I heard it, the eldest brother said that the Ye family girl is deeply thoughtful." ”

Li Xiao approached Li Yaoguang slightly, and Li Yaoguang could even feel a hint of light woody fragrance and warm heat overflowing from his lips and teeth: "That...... What do you think? ”

Li Yaoguang subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Li Xiao pinched his jaw and couldn't move.

She was a little annoyed: "Big brother, let go of me!" ”

Li Xiao looked at her steadily, then smiled, let go of Li Yaoguang, and returned to his usual noble appearance: "It's really hard to coax the bigger it is." Okay, joking with you, let's go back to the temple quickly...... It was late at night. ”

Li Yaoguang's heart trembled, and then he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out that the eldest brother was just joking.

While talking, the two had already walked to the East Palace, and Li Yaoguang's back was a little hasty and returned to the side hall where he lived.

Li Xiao stood in place, staring at Li Yao's thin back, the spring breeze swept through his robe slightly, and the dark clothes almost blended with the night.

His bony, slender and well-proportioned hand pinched the palace lamp that Li Yaoguang stuffed for him, and there was still Li Yaoguang's residual warmth on it, Li Xiao's hand unconsciously rubbed the handle gently, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a moment, he bowed his head slightly, sighed and said to the attendant behind him, "Send someone to talk to the imperial grandfather...... I'll go to the Ministry of Rites on time tomorrow. ”

He mentioned to the emperor's grandfather a few days ago that he wanted to quit his family.

Grandfather Huang just looked at him meaningfully, noncommittal: "Young man, if you want to play a play, you will be a play...... You can go to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, if you can stay in the Ministry of Rites for a month...... I will allow you to withdraw from your family. ”
