royal husband

To say that the person Li Ruoyan hates the most in this family is Li Siyuan besides Li Jin. However, unlike her jealousy and fear towards Li Jin, Li Ruoyan clearly despises and looks down on Li Siyuan.

Li Ruoyan couldn't understand why she had such a cowardly and incompetent twin brother.

Yes, not bad.

Li Siyuan and Li Ruoyan are twins, but it is a pity that Li Siyuan is a twin, and twins have the lowest status in the Great Xia Dynasty, so when they were born, Li Siyuan was ignored as a matter of course, and over time, he became the timid and cowardly temperament he is now.

Naturally, Wei Shiwan also noticed the change of Li Siyuan's temperament, but Wei Shiwan almost gave up the idea of ​​changing Li Siyuan's temper without even thinking about it, because Li Siyuan was not as valuable as Li Ruoyan, and Wei Shiwan would naturally not waste time on it.

When Li Ruoyan yelled at him like this, Li Siyuan trembled timidly, "I... I think the third brother seems to like this kind of cake very much, so... just..."

"Fox Meizi."

Li Ruoyan gave Li Siyuan a disdainful look.

Sure enough, it's something that can't be put on the table, but he still wants to curry favor with that bitch Li Jin.

"Yan'er."

Wei Shiwan signaled Li Ruoyan to shut up.

If Wei Shiwan would not care about such things in private, it would even make Li Siyuan more tolerant.But now that Li Jin is here, wouldn't Li Ruoyan's actions just make Li Jin laugh?

"Humph."

Li Ruoyan listened to Wei Shiwan's words, turned her head in displeasure, and did not continue this topic.

Li Siyuan, you wait for me, you dare to plot against me, let me be scolded by my mother in front of Li Jin, let me see how I can get back later.

Li Ruoyan unreasonably attributed the scolding to Li Siyuan, and glared fiercely at Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Ruoyan.

Wei Shiwan seemed to change her face, and quickly returned to a virtuous appearance and said, "Jin'er, since Siyuan gave you his pastries, you can't refuse, otherwise Siyuan will be sad."

"I'll finish it."

Li Jin nodded towards Li Siyuan, then calmly picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

"As long as the third brother likes it."

Li Siyuan responded in a low voice.

"Mother, I just drew a picture... Hey, are you there, third brother?" Li Yanchen walked into the yard with the painting he had just painted, and found Li Jin.

"Yes, brother."

Li Jin nodded to Li Yanchen as a greeting.

Li Yanchen also bowed back, and then sat down under the greeting of the maid, "Third brother, you haven't told 'Big Brother' yet, why did you suddenly come to mother's place?"

Li Yanchen deliberately emphasized his tone when he said the word "big brother", as if he wanted to secretly compete with Li Jin.

at the same time.

The resentment in Li Yanchen's eyes increased rather than diminished.

Li Jin, it's your luck that you can come back safely this time, and you won't have such good luck next time.

Recalling that the person he sent out to deal with Li Jin was knocked unconscious and tied to a tree by someone, Li Yanchen almost died of anger.

Afterwards, Li Yanchen also asked who was responsible for the people who were tied to the tree. However, they were knocked out without seeing the appearance of that person. How could they answer Li Yanchen's question?

Li Jin smiled calmly, "Princess Ji said she made some new cakes, and invited me to taste them, so I came."

"The third brother is really leisurely." Li Yanchen said with a smirk, "By the way, I heard that the third brother will go to Zhuzhou with the seventh prince soon, don't you need to make some preparations? Ah, three If my younger brother is too busy, my elder brother will also help you clean up."

"Don't bother big brother, the cleaning has been done safely."

"This can't be done. Ping An is a man after all, so it's inevitable that he will be careless in doing things." Li Yanchen shook his head and said along the way, "How about this, third brother, take the lotus incense beside me, Hexiang has always been careful in doing things, if Going with you will definitely help you."

"I've seen Mrs. Li."

When He Xiang heard Li Yanchen's words, she immediately stood up and smiled at Li Jin, then turned her head away with blushing cheeks, not daring to meet Li Jin's gaze.

"He Xiang is really good, Jin'er, just let He Xiang follow you."

Wei Shiwan also chimed in.

"That's right, it's your good fortune to have such a beauty follow you." Xu was still angry because of what happened just now, Li Ruoyan didn't give up trying to overwhelm Li Jin with words.

"Thank you, big brother." Li Jinman ignored Li Ruoyan, looked at Li Yanchen apologetically and said, "But I can only accept it, because the Seventh Prince is also going with me this time, and those who come with me need the consent of His Highness the Queen. But I dare not promise in private."

"Uh……"

Wei Shiwan choked, she never expected that Gu Rushuang would intervene in such trivial matters.

Isn't Her Royal Highness too busy?

Li Yanchen saw that this plan was not going to work, so he gave up resolutely, and said regretfully, "If that's the case, forget it."

"Brother can understand." Li Jin stood up suddenly, and said goodbye, "By the way, the empress ordered someone to send some books over. I want to read them, so don't bother me."

Say it.

Li Jin saluted Wei Shiwan and Li Yanchen before turning and leaving.

"Mother, look at how arrogant he is, it's really disgusting." Seeing Li Jin's back gradually receding, Li Ruoyan couldn't help but sneer.

"Yan'er, your elder brother is still here, what does it look like to say such things?" Shi Wan scolded again, but this scolding was much softer than the previous one, just like going through the motions.

Li Yanchen smiled and said, "No problem, I won't spread the word."

"Mom, did you hear that?"

"Yes, you have a lot of things to do." Wei Shiwan shook her head helplessly, "It's just this one time, next time you go to the Wanshou Banquet, you can't be so unruly, or else..."

"Mother, you can rest assured, I won't."

Li Ruoyan's current wish is to marry Ying Ziheng, so how could she be willing to let Ying Ziheng see her in such a bad state.

"You can grasp it well." Wei Shiwan nodded, and immediately put her eyes on Li Yanchen, "By the way, Chen'er, you haven't told me what is painted in this painting."

"It's the landscape painting my father likes."

Li Yanchen immediately opened the portrait for Wei Shiwan to see.

I see.

Li Yanchen's painting is very vivid, and the color matching is just right, so people can't help but linger.

Wei Shiwan couldn't help admiring, "Good painting, really good painting, Chen'er, your painting skills have improved more and more, next time the prince returns to his residence and sees it, he will be very happy."

"It's also my mother who taught me well."

"Li Siyuan, come here." Seeing that Wei Shiwan and Li Yanchen had a happy conversation, Li Ruoyan grabbed Li Siyuan's hand and forced Li Siyuan to go with her.

Li Siyuan swallowed sharply, not daring to resist, and followed Li Ruoyan resignedly, with a bit of bitterness on his lips.

……

Time flies by like running water, making everyone look forward to the arrival of the Longevity Festival.

On the Longevity Day, the emperor will receive congratulations and gifts from the princes and ministers, and the streets of the capital are also decorated with colorful scenes, singing and dancing everywhere.

"Let's go."

With Wei Rong's order, Wei Shiwan has already brought her three children and Li Yanchen into the carriage to attend the longevity banquet in the palace.As for Li Jin, he had already been picked up by the carriage sent by the palace.

"Shen'er, are you feeling better? Why don't you stay in the palace to recuperate." Wei Shiwan looked at Li Yanshen's paler complexion, and couldn't help but make a suggestion.

In the past, Wei Shiwan definitely would not have said such things.

But today is different from the past, Li Yanshen's body is getting worse day by day, how could Wei Shiwan not worry.

Wei Rong also worriedly echoed, "Yes, Shi Wan is right, Shen'er, you should go to rest, if something happens, what do you want grandma and your mother to do?"

Li Yan shook his head deeply, and said with a wry smile, "Grandmother, mother, today is the Emperor's Longevity Day, if I don't go, what will others think of our Dingbei Palace?"

"Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable, Shen'er, you must say it, and you must not keep it from knowing?"

When it came to the reputation of the palace, Wei Shiwan compromised.

"That's natural."

Li Yan nodded deeply.

With Li Yanshen's guarantee, Wei Shiwan turned her attention to Li Yanchen, and said, "Chen'er, I'm going to the Longevity Banquet later, and Chen'er will ask you to take care of me."

Originally, Wei Shiwan didn't intend to take Li Yanchen to the Wanshou Banquet, but Li Yanshen's body was really unwell, so Wei Shiwan also decided to act tonight to help Li Ruoyan become the Crown Princess, and had no time to take Li Yanshen's physical condition into consideration, so she had to take Li Yanchen with her. There is also a care in case something bad happens.

"Yes, mother."

Li Yanchen nodded, and naturally supported Li Yanshen.

"Mother, why did you bring him here?" Li Ruoyan pointed dissatisfiedly at Li Siyuan who was opposite, without hiding the disgust in her eyes, she almost let Li Siyuan go down without saying a word.

Wei Shiwan patted the back of Li Ruoyan's right hand lightly, and comforted her, "Don't mess around, Yan'er, Siyuan is also a descendant, so she should go with us."

"It's true that he is a descendant, but he is too cowardly? If he loses face at the banquet, we will follow suit."

"I... I won't be ashamed."

Li Siyuan trembled slightly, and whispered back.

"Shiwan, Yan'er is right, I didn't mean you, why did you bring him out?" Wei Rong didn't like Li Siyuan either, so naturally he helped Li Ruoyan.

"Mother, Siyuan is here, just let him pay attention." Wei Shiwan responded helplessly.

"It can only be like this." After finishing speaking, Wei Rong looked at Li Siyuan with indifferent eyes, and said word by word, "Remember, you have gone to the Longevity Banquet, and you can't do anything to throw Dingbei Palace. Otherwise, I will never forgive you."

"Yes, grandmother."

Li Siyuan didn't dare to refute, he lowered his head and timidly responded.

"Hmph, nothing."

Wei Rong snorted coldly, and didn't bother to pay attention to Li Siyuan, instead, he continued to ask Li Yan deeply.

However, the people who were chatting happily in the carriage and completely ignored Li Siyuan did not see Li Siyuan's clenched fist.
