Let's fight, white lotus
Chapter 28
The mighty spirit force convoy departed from the imperial city, and a series of fiery red horses pulled the accumulated boxes and drove towards Hanyang.
In Yuhe Palace, Concubine Ling sneered coldly when she heard Dongmei's return, "The prince is considerate." Thinking of Qiao Mei still living in the guest house without a name, the whole Lihu Lake seemed like it was early. Already forgetting that there is an unmarried eldest prince, just like forgetting this Yuhe Palace.
The entire Yuhe Palace is no longer as magnificent as it used to be.The concubine Ling loves the most complicated and gorgeous, and the most lively scenes, but now the whole palace is as empty as a snow cave, because His Majesty ordered the concubine to rest in peace, the usual gold and silver ornaments have been taken away, and the palace is full of people. There are only a few lonely maids left.There will never be a shortage of people in the palace who hold the high and step down. Winter is approaching, and even a few pieces of silver carbon have not been sent. It is dark and cold like a cold palace.
Concubine Ling finally realized what is called the emperor's mind.It's ridiculous that she really thought that she controlled the entire harem, but who would have thought that even a small internal guard dared to step on her head after seeing her fall out of favor, and she couldn't even send a message back to her natal family.
His Majesty has not been here since the Crown Prince's coronation ceremony, and only issued a decree.His Royal Highness the First Prince never came again. Dongmei looked at the increasingly thin lady, as if watching a flamboyant and enthusiastic cuckoo gradually withering in this cold Yuhe Palace.
In the Li family mansion in Hanyang, an old man dressed in brocade clothes with golden embroidered Wanfu pattern was sitting in the main hall, holding a new snow bud tea in his hand, smelling the fragrance of the tea, and said slowly: "Boss, you are our Li family. The patriarch of the clan, you should be involved in major events in the clan, but if you do not handle things properly, we old bones will have to stand up and speak out."
"I don't know what you are talking about, third uncle?" Li Heng asked while sitting under the old man, holding up the teacup.
"Hmph! You don't know? You broke the engagement with Nan's family without knowing why!" Seeing that Li Heng didn't admit his mistake, but didn't care about it, Li Zhixin became more and more angry, "Our Li family is a big family in Hanyang. Now that the marriage contract between Mingyou and Mr. Nan's family has been made, how can he regret the marriage casually! Mingyou gambled the best jade and became a master and then regretted the marriage, making others think that our Li family is all treacherous and flattering people!"
"Third Uncle may have made a mistake. Mingyou only made a bet after breaking off the engagement with the Nan family. Moreover, not only the Nan family, but also the elders of the clan agreed to the dissolution of the engagement." Li Heng's face turned pale. Still indifferent, "Also, Li Nan's family is announcing their engagement, not my Li family regretting the marriage!"
"Master Nanyu, is what the old man said true?" Li Heng turned to Nanyu who was sitting on the lower left and asked.
"Of course my uncle can't be wrong. It's just that my nephew is young and ignorant, and I didn't understand who I love until now! Uncle, please give me a chance. I don't believe that Mingyou has no feelings for me anymore. He must just be You are angry with me, as long as he can calm down, I can promise him anything!"
Li Heng looked at Lian Sheng who was still following Nan Yu's side, and looked back with disdain.The Patriarch of the Nan family can be regarded as a character, and he did not know how he gave birth to such a son.
"Since the two of you are only at odds, that's the best. Young people are always unavoidable, so we old guys should stop messing around. Mingyou is not here now, so you, uncle, will take the time to discuss it with the Patriarch of the Nan family. Just make a new engagement." Li Zhixin stared at Li Heng's eyes, and emphasized his tone in the last sentence.
"I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why not?" Li Zhixin was even more annoyed when he saw Li Heng bowed his head to drink tea and didn't even give him a look. The wrinkles on his already thin face became deeper and deeper.
"Third uncle is probably confused. Mingyou is not a junior that your family can arrange at will. Not to mention that he is already a master, even before becoming a master, he was asked for his own opinion on the marriage contract with the Nan family. In the entire Lihu country, only the third uncle can have such a bold tone and dare to directly arrange a marriage contract with a grand master. I'm afraid my nephew would not dare."
"Kang Dang!" Li Zhixin put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, "Even if he is a grandmaster, he is still a member of my Li family. Xiaosi left early, and he was able to awaken his spiritual power to become a grandmaster, not because of Li Home cultivation!"
Seeing that Li Heng's face remained unchanged and he was not disturbed by his anger, Li Zhixin restrained his anger and continued to persuade with a kind face; "Although our Li family has been in business for generations, we can be regarded as a great family. But how many strangers are there in the family? The Nan family is also a big family in Hanyang, and they promised that as long as the marriage contract continues, Mingyou and their children will be able to take the surname of Li. Mingyou can't think of this at a young age, and you don't understand, boss!"
"My nephew understands these words." Li Heng also put down the teacup in his hand, "but I'm afraid my nephew will be powerless to make a marriage contract on behalf of the master."
"Boss, although the marriage of a different person is different from that of ordinary people, what we Lihu pay attention to is the order of our parents and the words of a matchmaker. If Xiaosi is away, you, an uncle, should act as a father. I think Mingyou is a well-behaved child. I can understand your painstaking efforts. Otherwise, if there are any rumors, not only will there be no better branches for him to climb, but it will also be ugly to the face of the Nan family."
Li Heng's eyes flickered, he wanted to ruin Mingyou's reputation, so that he could only marry Nanyu.The particularity of the aliens makes them sometimes value morality more than ordinary people, let alone the one you think about.Li Zhixin is the most senior member of the Li family, if he admits that Mingyou broke the engagement, most people will think that Mingyou has lost his virtue even if they are dubious.
"Let's discuss this matter after Mingyou comes back. At that time, Mr. Nanyu can tell Mingyou face to face if you have anything to say."
"What else is there to wait for? Boss, do you have any better candidates than the Nan family?"
Li Zhixin was aggressive, if he waited for Li Mingyou to come back, there might be more accidents.It's better to make an agreement now. Even if he is dissatisfied, Li Heng will bear most of the anger.
"This……"
"My lord, I'm overjoyed!" The housekeeper Li Bo walked into the main hall with a smile on his face.
"Boss, you don't know much about etiquette. Doesn't it disgrace our Li family if it gets out?" Li Zhixin, who was interrupted, was full of displeasure.
"I also ask the third wife to forgive me. It's just that the recruiting team of His Royal Highness is coming outside. I don't dare to keep the adults waiting for a long time, so I am presumptuous."
"What did you say? His Royal Highness's recruiting team?"
Boxes and cages tied with scarlet brocade filled the courtyard.Shen Ji and Mu Guogong's son came to deliver the dowry in person, and they were also very polite to Li Heng.
At this time, Li Zhixin didn't care about the South and North families anymore, no matter how great the benefits the South family promised would be, it couldn't compare to getting married with the royal family.Li Zhixin leaned forward diligently, his old but shrewd eyes glanced at the heavy and rare pearls packed full of treasures, and watched eagerly every move of several people.
In Lihu, there are rules about what the queen can bring into the palace when she is married, let alone the dowry.Therefore, the richness of the dowry represents face in the royal family.The emperors of these generations were all frugal, and after they got married, they only rewarded a few beautiful ornaments, and it was even simpler for concubines.Looking at the boxes and cages, it is more of the prince's private room.On Mingyou's side, it is obvious that there is a lot to do.Li Zhixin smiled more earnestly.
At the same time, several ordinary-dressed men were welcomed into Nan's house in a low-key manner by the usually arrogant butler.
One month later, before the nearest auspicious day appointed by His Royal Highness, everything was finally ready.Concubine Ming and Concubine De in the palace and officials from the Ministry of Rites outside the palace breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.Didn't the prince's big wedding start preparations a few years in advance, but this one only gave them a month, they were so busy that they couldn't keep their feet on the ground, and they were worried, fearing that something would go wrong and cause trouble.
Fortunately, everything went well on the day of the wedding, and Li Heng and the others also rushed to the imperial city. As a man, Li Mingyou was no more disciplined than a woman, and he had no taboos.Wearing the same style as Lin Huan's auspicious clothes, except that the dark lines embroidered with silver thread are slightly different. Since he has not yet reached the crown, he can only use a red headband to weave into his hair, wrapping it around his long hair. His thick black hair is fiery red. The clothes and the jade-white face made His Royal Highness, who came to meet the bride, stare blankly.
In a trance, it seemed that someone had smiled at him like this before, with weird short hair and strange costumes, but the familiar emotion in the strange eyebrows and eyes made his heart surge.
Seeing him standing blankly at the door, Li Mingyou raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to hold his hand.The warm touch brought Lin Huan back to his senses, and he clenched the slender fingers in his palm helplessly. He was such an impatient little thing. It was the wedding day, and he was still so unreserved, he couldn't wait for the tea time.
His Royal Highness, who thought he understood Mingyou's mind, curled his mouth and bent over to pick up the little thing that loved him so much, strode out of the wedding room, stepped onto Ben Lei, who was neighing dissatisfied because of the big red flower on his neck, and galloped towards away from the palace.
Although the grand prince's wedding is solemn, it is not as cumbersome as the emperor's.Fortunately, Mingyou has been doing a lot of work in stone carving these days, and he also took a few more mouthfuls of food. His body is a bit stronger, and it is easy to survive.
Sitting on the big bed with a sachet hanging on it, Xi Niang and the waiter retreated quietly.Lin Huan personally brought two glasses of wine, and An Ran was a little dazed.
The wedding in the previous life was grand and luxurious, but it was not as considerate and intimate as the two wine glasses surrounded and intersected by the candlelight in the dark night.
An Ran knew that he was her relative in the previous life, so she didn't hesitate, but Lin Huan, he no longer had the memory of Zhong Ruiqian, why did he accept him so easily?
Maybe everything went too smoothly, but An Ran was hesitant and dazed for a moment.
He also missed the spark in Lin Huan's eyes.
When he woke up again, Mingyou lost all daze and melancholy.The skeleton of the whole body seemed to be reassembled by someone, and there was no place from top to bottom that was not uncomfortable.This familiar feeling made him confirm through gritted teeth that it was the beast.
In Yuhe Palace, Concubine Ling sneered coldly when she heard Dongmei's return, "The prince is considerate." Thinking of Qiao Mei still living in the guest house without a name, the whole Lihu Lake seemed like it was early. Already forgetting that there is an unmarried eldest prince, just like forgetting this Yuhe Palace.
