White Hedge Dream

Chapter 233 Mood

The sun shone into the room, and Princess Jinyu woke up from the bed. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she didn't lose her temper today.

But as soon as she sat down to wash herself, Aju said that Li Yu was kneeling outside, and Princess Jinyu's face sank.

"He came just in time. Go tell him that I have made a good marriage agreement with him. Go back to the palace and wait for the wedding in peace."

Aju said softly: "He seemed to know, so he came to see the princess."

Princess Jinyu had already guessed that Li Yu knew about it. Li Chengyuan came to the princess mansion without any cover-up. Li Yu was not as well-behaved as he seemed. He must have been keeping an eye on the princess mansion.

"Why do you come to see me now that you know it?" She sneered, "Just wait, I'll call him when I find a good matchmaker."

Aju didn't dare to say any more and retreated. Not long after, Li Yu's voice sounded outside and people rushed in.

"Your Highness, you can't go in—"

But of course the weak maid could not stop Li Yu. He rushed in, knelt down in front of Princess Jinyu in front of the dressing table, and said in an aggrieved voice: "Aunt! I don't want to marry the Li family!"

Princess Jinyu turned around and raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Aren't you going to listen to my aunt?"

Shangguan's consort also came in from the outside at this time and persuaded: "If you have something to say, please speak it carefully. You are not a child anymore."

Princess Jinyu glanced at him and sneered: "Yes, you are not a child anymore. Ask the consort if he married me voluntarily. What if he doesn't?"

Shangguan's consort's face turned slightly green.

Let him be humiliated... Li Yu clenched his hands at his sides, smiled on his face, and knelt down in front of Princess Jinyu: "Aunt, I don't like the Li family. Aunt, please pick another one for me."

Shangguan's consort glanced at him.

Does it turn out that you look down on the Li family? Princess Jinyu snorted coldly and her expression softened slightly. If it was for other things, she wouldn't mind pampering him, but in this case, the Zhu family's plan had failed. The Li family took the initiative to send it to the door, and it was not good to miss it.

"You have chosen well. The Li family is very good." She said.

Li Yu held her sleeve: "Aunt, Li Chengyuan hates me because of Li Shilang's death. He married me out of kindness. He wants me to treat the princess like a beast!"

Who can treat her like a cow or a horse? Princess Jinyu sneered, with a hint of impatience: "You marry his family first and treat them like cattle and horses. When you get what you want, you can kill the donkeys."

He stood up and shook off Li Yu's hand.

"Don't come and make trouble, I want to see His Majesty."

After saying that, she walked out and stopped when she reached Shangguan's consort. In the past, she didn't give these two people a chance to be alone together. This time...

"Husband-in-law, he is young and ignorant. You are the one who has experienced this. Please advise him."

Princess Jinyu said with a faint smile.

Shangguan's consort looked blankly: "Okay."

Princess Jinyu strode out.

"I won't marry the Li family anyway!" Li Yu shouted from behind.

Shangguan's consort looked at him and stepped forward to help him: "Get up."

Li Yu Yiyan stood up and whispered: "You are also affected."

Shangguan's consort smiled: "It doesn't matter." He hesitated and asked, "Do you not want the Li family, or do you not want her to arrange your marriage?"

"Isn't this the same thing!" Li Yu frowned and said, "What she arranged for me was all for herself."

Shangguan's consort let go of his hand.

Li Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly grabbed him: "Consort, I'm not angry with you, I'm a little impatient..." He said with an apologetic look on his face, "Consort, I've caused trouble for you and made you humiliated. I'm such a waste." …”

Shangguan's consort clapped his hand, smiled and said, "It's not your fault that I'm humiliated. It's my own choice." After saying that, he looked at Li Yu and said, "Ayu, if you don't want to, you have to make a choice. ”

Li Yu nodded: "I know, I can't help my current situation, but Li Chengyuan will never even think about trampling on me, clinging to Princess Jinyu, and offending many people. I will make him look good!"

Shangguan's consort wanted to say something, but stopped.

Li Yu noticed it and asked, "What does the prince consort want to say?"

He wanted to say that there was actually a choice in a situation where there was no other way. For example, when Princess Jinyu threw the knife in front of him, he could choose to pick up the knife and stab himself to death, or stab Princess Jinyu to death...

But he didn't choose.

He didn't choose, so how could he persuade Li Yu to choose.

This child's life is even more difficult than he was before.

Shangguan's consort smiled and said, "It's nothing. You go and do your work. I'll keep an eye on the princess."

Li Yu nodded, thought of something else, looked around, held Shangguan's consort's hand, and whispered: "Consort, I am always lying to the princess, but in my heart I am still treating you..."

Shangguan's consort raised his hand and booed, then looked outside. There were maids passing by outside the hall.

"I know." He said, patting Li Yu's arm, "Go and do your work."

After finally saying what he had been saving for a long time, Li Yu couldn't hide his smile and nodded to Shangguan's consort: "Then I'm going out."

After saying that, he walked briskly out of the hall, walked out, immediately looked gloomy, kicked a flower pot on the roadside, and strode away with an angry look.

Shangguan's consort stood in the hall, looking at Li Yu's back with a complicated expression, and murmured: "It doesn't matter if it's fake or real..."

Everything is done.

…

…

In the Li Mansion, Li Chengyuan slowly walked into the study, and his staff saluted him one after another.

"When does father plan to see His Majesty?" one person asked. Li Chengyuan said: "After inviting the two famous Dou family members to act as matchmakers, I will take them into the palace to see His Majesty."

Another court official twisted his beard and frowned slightly: "I'm afraid your Majesty will still be overly concerned. After all, King Chu was once the emperor's eldest grandson."

Li Chengyuan smiled: "Don't be afraid, I have a grandson who died on the King of Chu's ship, and I want him Li Yu to be my grandson-in-law. It is a matter of course that the emperor cannot stop him even if he is overly concerned!"

While they were joking here, a young man hurried in: "Grandpa..."

Li Chengyuan glanced at him and recognized him as his twelfth grandson: "What's the matter?" He waved his hand again, "If you don't have money, don't ask me for it. Find your own way." At this point, he thought of Li Julang again and sighed, "Julang is just a The kid who never bothered me.”

Without his teaching, he knew how to use Li's name to make money and gain influence.

What a pity.

Li Twelve Lang said timidly: "Sixteenth Mother wants to become a nun..."

Sixteenth Mother is the youngest granddaughter of Li Chengyuan, and she is the one who wants to marry the King of Chu.

Li Chengyuan understood these little daughter's tricks as soon as he heard them, and frowned: "What's the fuss about again? Do you not like the marriage I told her?"

"Grandpa, it's no wonder that Sixteenth Mother is unwilling, but Li Yu's reputation outside is too bad!" Li Twelve Lang said angrily.

Li Chengyuan said: "What kind of reputation? How good is Long Yang? Are you deeply in love with Zhou Jingyun? Ignore these words, but they are getting closer because they have their own needs."

I laughed when I said this.

"Even if it's true, it's not a bad thing. Our Li family has a new marriage and one more person. The Sixteenth Mother should be happy. From now on, the immortal Zhou Jingyun and her will be able to depend on each other side by side."

Li Chengyuan's words were unbearable, and his staff laughed. Li Twelve Lang stamped his feet: "Grandpa, it's not Crown Prince Zhou's business. My little sister doesn't believe those ridiculous words. Crown Prince Zhou is not that kind of person."

Li Chengyuan said casually: "Then why is she still thinking about entering the palace and becoming a queen? Listen to me, she will be the queen in the future..."

"No." Li Twelve Lang shook his head again, "Grandpa, then Li Yu has a beloved concubine outside, and she has given birth to children! My little sister really can't bear it!"

Have all the children been born? Li Chengyuan frowned, this little **** really went too far.

Here, Li Twelve Lang continued to say that the beloved concubine was raised on a boat in a building. She was as beautiful as a flower. Li Yu was fascinated and trusted her very much. Now that she has given birth to a child, in the future, even if Mrs. Li has a wife from the Li family, The backer can only be a decoration...

Li Chengyuan impatiently waved his hand to interrupt: "It's just a beloved concubine, so what if I have children." After that, he motioned Li Twelve Lang to retreat, "It's not a big deal, let Sixteenth Mother wait in peace, grandpa will take care of it. "

Li Twelve Lang wanted to say something else, but Li Chengyuan glared at him. He was so frightened that he did not dare to speak and left.

Li Chengyuan sat on the chair and snorted coldly: "This is also a good thing. It is a good opportunity to give that little **** a blow and let him know that I, the Li family, cannot be underestimated."

After saying this, he motioned for the staff to come forward and whispered a few words.

After the staff listened, they bowed and saluted and said yes.

…

…

Another early morning, when the morning light was dim, Zhou Jingyun dismounted in front of the pier. The guests on the pier had almost dispersed. The remaining guests who were getting on the bus saw him and suppressed their sleepiness to say hello.

"Why is the prince here at this time?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not here either."

Zhou Jingyun ignored it and walked straight to the building.

Bai Li had already leaned down from the second floor to say hello and quickly came downstairs.

"Why are you here now?" she asked.

"My mother heard rumors that I was not allowed to go out at night, so I stopped disobeying her," Zhou Jingyun said.

Bai Li chuckled, so he changed it to come during the day. What is this about being disobedient?

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it." She said, "I've dealt with Zhang Ze a few times, so it's not a big problem. I'll go see Madam and explain it to her."

Is that so? That's fine, he did everything. If my mother hates him, she won't hate her anymore.

Zhou Jingyun was about to nod, but hesitated again: "Where is Nannan? It's not easy to leave Nannan alone on the boat, nor to take her into the city."

Bai Li smiled and looked up at the stairs: "Shen Qing is here to take care of the children today."

Zhou Jingyun followed her and saw a figure standing at the highest point in the morning light, but he couldn't see clearly who it was, let alone whether he was holding a child.

"No one can see it." Bai Li said, "Don't worry."

What Zhou Jingyun was about to say, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from the road, as if thousands of horses were galloping, and smoke and dust were billowing.

Enough to have dozens of officers and soldiers galloping over.

"Check for deserters."

"The rest of the crowd is waiting to retreat."

Accompanied by the scolding, the remaining guests on the pier were expelled, and pedestrians on the road hurriedly retreated. The road into the city was immediately under martial law.

Zhou Jingyun looked at it intently: "They are soldiers from the Beijing camp. What deserters are they looking for?"

Compared to the chaos of soldiers passing by on the road, it was quiet on the boat.

After a busy night, people went to sleep, and the guard on duty slowly inspected. A boatman was arranging the ropes at the stern of the boat. He suddenly stepped on the boat plank and frowned in confusion: "Why is there water in here?"

He said that he was going to squat down, but as soon as he bent down, a person suddenly appeared from the calm river water, and then he surfaced, with a short bow in his hand, and with a whoosh, a short arrow penetrated the boatman's throat.

The boatman's eyes widened and he fell to the ground without saying a word and died.
