Stunning beauty

"It's getting colder and colder."

The capital city of great merchants, Li Yuan.

Standing in front of the room with a red candle in a red dress, holding a fruit plate, looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, he exhaled fragrantly, "That brat Ziye doesn't know to come back, did he just look at the water spirit born by the girl from Yingzhou? I am so happy to miss Shu, I forgot to go home."

"almost."

On the side, Li Youwei felt a chill, tightened the brocade coat on her body, and said, "His second brother went in person, and he will be back soon. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, as long as he's fine."

"How can something happen to him."

Hong Zhupi smiled and said, "That kid is smarter than anyone else. Those people in Yingzhou really don't have eyes. It's not good to catch anyone. If you insist on arresting Ziye, isn't this just asking for trouble for yourself?"

Having said that, Hong Zhu looked at the woman beside her and asked, "Youwei, I heard that the son of Xuanwu Prince is still jealous of you. When you were negotiating business with the eldest grandson's family, he went to harass you with an excuse. I can help you." Did he learn a lesson?"

"Need not."

Li Youwei shook her head and said, "I can still handle it. After all, the son of King Xuanwu has an extraordinary status, so it's not appropriate to be impulsive again for the time being."

"That dude only dared to be so arrogant because he was not in the mansion, otherwise, with his temperament, he would definitely not be able to spare him." Hong Zhu said coldly.

"People don't fight with officials."

Li Youwei said softly, "Although the Li family has some strength, it's best not to conflict with the people in the court."

"It's a pity, even Little Red Riding Hood is not here now, otherwise, based on his friendship with Xiao Ziye, he probably wouldn't just sit idly by."

Red Candle looked at the snowflakes outside the porch, and said, "So many people all ran to Yingzhou at once, and Li Yuan became deserted instead. I'm really not used to it."

"Wait a little longer, maybe they will come back before the New Year's Eve."

A little bit of light flashed in Li Youwei's eyes, and said, "I didn't expect that my younger brother will be gone for a year. I thought I would come back in three to five months."

"Miss."

at this time.

Outside the inner courtyard, a servant walked quickly and saluted respectfully, "Miss Changsun, please see me."

"Eldest grandson Nanqiao?"

Red Candle was startled when she heard the words, and said, "What is she here for?"

"I don't know."

Li Youwei shook her head and said, "At this time, it should be something serious."

After finishing speaking, Li Youwei looked at the servant in front and said, "Invite him to the main hall."

"Yes!"

The servant took the order and immediately turned and left.

"Let's have a look together."

Li Youwei said something, and immediately walked towards the front yard.

Hong Candle stuffed the last piece of dried fruit in the fruit plate into his mouth, then put down the fruit plate, and quickly followed.

Front yard, main hall.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao, who was dressed in a gorgeous fur robe, was sitting in the hall, with a gorgeous face and eyes like autumn water, alluring, showing the charm of a mature woman.

Another year passed, and the beautiful face of the eldest grandson Nanqiao not only did not add any traces of age, on the contrary, it became more and more charming.

"Sister eldest grandson."

Li Youwei walked over, saw the woman in the hall, and saluted politely.

"Miss Li."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao got up and returned the courtesy politely.

"Why is elder sister Changsun here at this time?"

Li Youwei glanced at the heavy snow outside, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Ah."

Grandson Nanqiao nodded and said solemnly, "Miss Li, there is one thing that I must tell you. King Xuanwu may ask His Majesty to marry you and the son of King Xuanwu."

"what!"

Behind Li Youwei, Hong Zhu heard the words, his expression changed suddenly, and the murderous intent in his eyes was full.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao felt it, and subconsciously looked at the woman in red behind the eldest daughter of the Li family.

This red candle girl in Li's residence is not an ordinary person.

In front of Hong Zhu, Li Youwei frowned when she heard the news from grandson Nanqiao, but she was not too flustered, and said calmly, "I wonder where elder sister grandson got this news from?"

"Empress." The eldest grandson Nanqiao said seriously.

Li Youwei trembled slightly, and quickly came back to her senses, and said, "Even if Your Majesty bestows the marriage, you should have asked me about the Li family's intentions. My father is still in Yuzhou City now, and there is no matchmaker's words from his parents. This marriage is a success." No."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at the still calm look of Li's parents and daughters in front of him, and felt emotional. It would be a pity for such a strange woman to marry the dude who was the son of Xuanwu Prince.

"Miss Li."

The eldest grandson Nan Qiao said with a very serious expression, "The empress told me about this matter, and it is also the empress's intention that I tell Miss Li."

Li Youwei heard the meaning of the former, saluted respectfully, and said, "The empress's kindness, Youwei, will be remembered in my heart."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao reached out to help the woman in front of her, and said softly, "The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Shu, is the younger sister of King Xuanwu. Miss Li must know about this relationship. King Xuanwu went to the palace the day before yesterday to discuss this matter with Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu One of the palace servants under his command accidentally overheard it, so he reported the matter to the Queen Mother, what I mean, Miss Li, do you understand?"

"I see."

Thoughts flashed in Li Youwei's eyes, and she said, "This matter is not yet a foregone conclusion, but it is also very troublesome."

"good."

Grandson Nanqiao nodded and said, "For the time being, this matter is only the wish of King Xuanwu and Concubine Shu. Your Majesty has not made a statement. As Miss Li said, His Majesty will definitely ask the Li family's intentions when he bestows a marriage. At least, he will also let you know. Your Majesty said, fortunately, the Li family is not an ordinary family of merchants. Regardless of the influence of the Li family in Dashang, or the fact that the second son of the Li family became a great practitioner of the five realms, His Majesty will carefully consider the matter of bestowing the marriage, and will not take it lightly. Make a decision, so the Li family still has time, but once His Majesty really agrees to the marriage, everything will become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it."

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at the woman in front of him and said, "The Li family, you need to make preparations early."

"Thank you, Elder Sister, grandson, for making a trip to inform me of this matter, so that my Li family will not be completely caught off guard." Li Youwei thanked again with a polite salute.

"Miss Li, you don't have to be so polite."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Actually, I also want to ask, what does Miss Li think of my fourth prince, is it possible?"

Li Youwei froze for a moment, then shook her head lightly, and said, "His Highness the Fourth Prince has a noble status, and his talent in martial arts is rare in a hundred years. I heard from the disciples of Confucianism that when he was in Mobei, His Highness also took good care of my younger brother. Youwei is grateful in her heart, but Gao Pan dare not."

"pity."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao sighed softly, and said, "Although I knew Miss Li's answer, I still couldn't help but want to ask. To tell you the truth, the fourth prince of my family also broke the hearts of me and the empress. However, since Miss Li has no intentions, forget it. By the way, it has been so long since you mentioned Mr. Li, has he not come back yet?"

"No."

Li Youwei said softly, "It should be soon, his second brother has gone to find him in person."

"That's good, remind Miss Li."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao said seriously, "The Li family, the three siblings including Miss Li, are not yet married, and the second son of Li has entered the fifth realm, so forget it, no one dares to provoke easily, but Miss Li and Li Third Young Master, I'm afraid you won't be so lucky, in this vortex of the capital, marriage is almost inevitable."

Li Youwei heard it, nodded lightly and said, "Youwei understands what elder sister Changsun means."

"Miss Li, as long as she is mentally prepared."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao said calmly, "The eldest grandson's family and the Li family have cooperated happily this year, so I don't want any changes in the Li family. Miss Li should find a way to solve the matter of Prince Xuanwu's son as soon as possible, otherwise, it will always be A trouble."

"Ah."

Li Youwei nodded, and said, "This matter, really bother Elder Sister Changsun and Empress Empress, and please thank Empress Empress on behalf of Youwei. If there is a chance, the Li family will definitely repay."

"polite."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao said softly, "I'll take Miss Li's words with me. Well, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."

"I'll send my elder sister off." Li Youwei said.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao nodded, and immediately walked outside.

Li Youwei followed with an umbrella and saw them off in person.

"Miss Li."

In the courtyard, the eldest grandson Nanqiao spoke.

"Sister eldest grandson can call me Youwei."

Aside, Li Youwei said.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Youwei, I would like to remind you again that your identity is too enviable. In this capital, the people staring at you are not only the princes of the Southwest, especially the prince of the Southwest. After the news of the Second Young Master's entry into the five realms spread to the capital, the Li family is no longer just an ordinary merchant's family."

The Second Young Master Li entered the five realms at such an age, which shows his amazing talent in martial arts. Given time, he is likely to become a peerless powerhouse no less than the scholar in the Tianyu Palace.

The power of one person is enough to deter a region.

"Youwei will take the words of Elder Sister Changsun seriously." Li Youwei said softly.

"Youwei, when Young Master Li comes back, let him come to the Changsun Mansion to sit."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao continued, "Feng Yu and Mr. Li San are about the same age, so we can get closer."

"it is good."

Li Youwei replied, "When my younger brother comes back, I will let him personally go to the Changsun Mansion to thank him."

While the two were talking, they had reached outside Li Yuan.

"Okay, send it here."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao smiled and said, "I'm leaving."

"Sister, be careful on the road."

Li Youwei said softly.

"Ah."

The eldest grandson, Nan Qiao, immediately stepped into the carriage.

Afterwards, the carriage rumbled towards the Changsun Mansion.

In front of Li Yuan, Li Youwei stood still, a little bit of light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

From behind, Hong Zhu stepped forward and said calmly, "This eldest grandson Nanqiao and the queen empress in the palace obviously don't want to see Li Yuan marry King Xuanwu."

"There is only one crown prince, and the throne is the same."

Li Youwei said calmly, "That's fine, if the palace is too peaceful, the situation of the Li family will be even more dangerous."

It's no secret that the Queen and Concubine Shu don't get along.

The fourth prince and the third prince are also strong candidates for the crown prince.

The Li family is not in the court, and their influence is not lost to any important court officials.

The queen and concubine Shu undoubtedly wanted to win over the Li family.

The only difference is the difference in means.
