Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 498 Engagement

  Li Yan and the fifth prince's "fighting" move did not attract much attention.

  The conflict between the East Palace and the Third Prince's faction is clear to everyone. Such a small thing is just the tip of the iceberg.

  Li Yan was recuperating in the Dongping County Prince's Mansion, and the Fifth Prince was recuperating in the Third Prince's Mansion. Two and a half teenagers with valuable identities, but they have no important relationship with the court.

  Lu House quickly nodded in agreement with the marriage.

  The Dongping County Prince's Mansion was busy with the proposal of marriage, and when Li Yan's face was healed, he went to the door with the dowry gift.

   On this day, the smile on Li Yan's face did not stop, and his mouth was almost crooked.

  Nowadays, on the day of engagement, unmarried men and women should not meet. Li Yan eagerly followed behind his future father-in-law, and kept patting his horse to show his hospitality.

  Lu Lin finally couldn't take it anymore, coughed and said, "After the dowry ceremony today, we will be a family in the future. Call Mingyue out and meet Li Yan."

  Li Yan's eyes lit up, overjoyed: "Thank you, father-in-law."

  's overjoyed look made everyone smile.

   Lu Xuan was the only one who looked unhappy with his anger, and turned his eyes into a smile and said, "Foster father, it's not appropriate for the fifth sister to show her face today. Why don't I lead the future fifth brother-in-law to the inner house to see the fifth sister."

  Lu Lin glanced at Lu Xuan with a smile: "You can go, don't play tricks."

  Lu Xuan looked wronged: "My adoptive father has wronged me too much when he said that. When I met the future fifth brother-in-law, I could only be happy. How could I play tricks."

   Lu Lin laughed it off.

   Among the children, Lu Xuan is the youngest and has the most bad ideas. And the relationship with Lu Mingyue is the best. Seeing that Li Yan was about to come to the door to "snatch someone", it was strange that Lu Xuan felt happy.

  Lu Xuan grinned at Li Yan: "Li Shizi, come with me."

  Li Yan politely thanked: "Thank you sixth brother."

   This has not yet been married, so he is posing as a fifth brother-in-law.

  Lu Xuan snorted heavily in his heart, rolled his eyes, and the smile on his face became more intimate and warm. This made Li Yan a little flattered. As he walked, he talked to Lu Xuan: "Sixth brother, do you like to read or practice martial arts?"

  Lu Xuan shook his head and said carelessly, "I don't like it either. I just like to play around all day."

  Li Yan: "..."

  Li Yan coughed and changed the subject: "What does the sixth brother like to play? There are cockfights, crickets, and birds in the capital. I'll accompany you to the East Market when you have free time."

  Lu Xuan blinked and smiled and said, "I don't like to play with this. I like to sneak off to the punishment department to watch the autopsy, and the punishment department will arrest and investigate the case quickly."

  Li Yan again: "..."

  Thanks to Li Yan's quick thinking, he forced out a few words of praise: "This is also easy to handle. I'm quite familiar with Zhao Langzhong from the Department of Punishment. Next time I will take you to the Department of Punishment."

   "I don't need to trouble Li Shizi." Lu Xuan said slowly: "My adoptive father has already said hello to the Minister of Punishment."

  Li Yan: "..."

   The elder brother-in-law looked unsmiling, and the younger brother-in-law was even more difficult to deal with.

  Li Yan resisted the urge to wipe the cold sweat, hehe smiled, and finally closed his mouth. Then, it got weirder as I walked.

  How can this place become more secluded the more you walk? It doesn't seem like the place where the girl lives!

   "Li Shizi wait here for a moment." Lu Xuan took Li Yan to a pavilion, smiled and winked at Li Yan: "It's quiet here, and it's easy to talk. I'll go and call the fifth sister over."

  Li Yan had noticed something was wrong, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother, hurry up and come back, don't leave me here alone."

   Lu Xuan responded loudly, his legs ran fast, and disappeared for a moment.

  …

  The autumn wind was rustling, Li Yan stood silently in the pavilion that was ventilated everywhere, and deeply felt the coolness from his brother-in-law.

never mind.

  Be teased and be teased!

   Wanting to marry the girl you like, but being teased by your future brother-in-law is nothing. Just wait here for a stick of incense, and then go back. If someone asks, he has to make a round for his brother-in-law. So that my brother-in-law's face is not good-looking, and he will hate his brother-in-law more and more in the future...

   A soft and subtle footstep sounded.

  Li Yan didn't turn his head back: "Sixth brother, if you don't come again, I'll just leave first."

   A light laughter sounded like a silver bell.

  Li Yan was both surprised and delighted, and turned around suddenly. It was the pretty face that lingered in his mind that caught his eye. The sweet smile on his lips drove away all the bleakness and coolness, and the world suddenly warmed up.

   "Mingyue," Li Yan blurted out and called out her boudoir name.

  Lu Mingyue's pretty face was slightly red, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She replied generously: "Li Shizi."

  Li Yan seemed to drink honey water, and his heart was full of sweetness: "We got engaged today, we are a fiancée. You can just call me by my name."

  Lu Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, two small pear eddies looming over her lips.

  Li Yan was almost drunk and walked over to Lu Mingyue involuntarily, reaching out to pull Lu Mingyue's hand.

  Cough cough!

  Three loud coughs suddenly sounded.

  Li Yan quickly withdrew his hand, like a thief being caught, and turned his head with a guilty conscience. Lu Xuan stood not far away with a smile, and grinned at his future brother-in-law: "If you talk about yours, please assume that I'm not here."

  Li Yan laughed awkwardly.

  Lu Mingyue said with a smile: "No matter how naughty you are, be careful I'll beat you up later. Stand far away and don't eavesdrop."

  Lu Xuan deliberately sighed heavily: "Girls are outgoing, not at all false. In the past, everything was directed towards my younger brother. Now, before I even get through the door, it is towards my future brother-in-law."

  Lu Mingyue blushed and spat at Lu Xuan: "Chew your tongue and see how I deal with you."

  Lu Xuan laughed and walked away.

  Lu Mingyue's blush did not fade, and she said softly, "Sixth brother is always naughty, don't bother with him."

Li Yan was so happy in his heart that he laughed softly: "No, no. It's an unexpected joy to see you today. The sixth brother doesn't like me right now, and when we become a relative in the future, we will slowly get over it. It'll be fine."

  Lu Mingyue quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Li Yan: "I heard that you and the Fifth Prince had an argument and moved your hands and hurt your nose. I've been worried about you these days."

When    mentioned Li Chang, Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he pretended to smile lightly: "A little injury is already healed. If you are worried, come and touch it yourself."

  Lu Mingyue blushed pretty and rolled her eyes.

  Li Yan grinned and smiled again.

   Those who knew the inside story tacitly concealed Li Chang's request to marry Lu Mingyue. Avoid rumors. However, Li Yan knew in his heart that Li Chang wanted to marry Lu Mingyue not only for political marriage reasons.

   That dead short fat man is clearly his younger sister Mingyue.

snort!

   Think beautifully!

   He soon married Mingyue sister and went home.
