White Hedge Dream

Chapter 267 Persuasion

Princess Jinyu was in a bad mood.

I originally thought it would be better after drinking some wine and taking a nap, but when I woke up and thought about what had happened, I was still irritated.

He kicked the maid who came forward to bring tea and crushed the flower petals under her feet that were scattered on the ground.

"Who's talking outside!" she shouted.

Aju crawled over on her knees: "Princess, the King of Chu is kneeling outside, and the consort is here to talk to the King of Chu." He quickly added, "The consort is trying to persuade the King of Chu."

Princess Jinyu sneered: "It's his persuasion. If it weren't for him, how could I be so abused by this **** today?"

After that, he strode out and saw the consort squatting half-crouching and talking to Li Yu who was kneeling on the ground. Under the sunset, two faces, one middle-aged and one young, had their own characteristics.

Princess Jinyu was stunned, as if she saw young Shangguanxue joking with the young lady from the Du family again.

She took a deep breath: "Someone is here!"

Attendants poured out, clubs in hand.

Shangguan's consort hurriedly stood up: "Princess, I am trying to persuade him, please calm down."

Princess Jinyu ignored him and only looked at Li Yu: "Let me ask you again, will you marry that maid?"

Li Yu kowtowed to her: "Auntie, please grant me permission."

"Since you call me aunt, I am your mother, and I want to teach you an unfilial son." Princess Jinyu said coldly, stretched out her hand and said, "Break his legs!"

Shangguan's consort's expression changed and he stood up: "Princess, no!"

Why not? Princess Jinyu sneered, "Isn't it just breaking a leg?" So what if it took his mother's life back then?

She is a princess, she lets them live so they can live!

Anyone who dares to disobey her will be beaten to death!

"He is the King of Chu, a descendant of the Li family just like you! You must not harm him!" Shangguan's consort shouted angrily, looking at the attendants surrounding him with sticks, and stood in front of Li Yu.

What about the descendants of the Li family? Princess Jinyu smiled again. Among the descendants of the Li family, the father killed his son, and the son killed his father. Breaking a leg was not considered cruelty among the descendants of the Li family, but kindness!

"Don't worry, Prince Consort." She sneered, "If I break his leg, I will go to His Majesty to apologize!"

Of course, the emperor would not really break the legs of her imperial sister.

Shangguan's consort turned around and pulled Li Yu up, protecting him and pushing him: "Quickly go!"

He knows best how little Princess Jinyu ignores human life.

Looking at Shangguan's consort's actions, Princess Jinyu sneered. When Mrs. Du Sanni was framed by her, Shangguan Xue must have wanted to save her.

But so what?

Compared to her, a golden branch and jade leaf, they are nothing more than ants.

A useless and ridiculous struggle.

Princess Jinyu smiled mockingly: "Pull the consort away, don't accidentally hurt him."

After the princess spoke, the guards stopped being cautious. Two people stepped forward and grabbed Shangguan's consort, while the other two took advantage of the tug and raised their sticks to hit Li Yu.

The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, moved quickly and cooperated tacitly, making it impossible for the young man to escape from one blow and break his leg with one blow.

Shangguan's consort let out a roar and wanted to pounce, but was held back tightly.

With a bang, the wooden stick broke, and the next moment a figure fell down, and two screams were heard.

Two sounds?

Shangguan's consort was startled and looked at Li Yu, who was still standing there. Li Yu was holding two broken wooden sticks in his hands, while the two people holding the wooden sticks were wailing on the ground, with blood on their heads and faces.

Princess Jinyu was startled. It happened so fast that she didn't even see it clearly.

This Li Yu didn't take the beating obediently, but even injured her attendant.

"You dare!" she shouted.

Li Yu held two broken sticks and turned around to look at her with a smile on his face.

"Please forgive me, aunt," he said, "I can't let you break my legs."

Although he was smiling, Princess Jinyu felt an inexplicable chill down her spine.

"Okay." She sneered, "If you dare to fight me back, it's not time to kneel in front of me and cry and say that I am the only reliable person in the world for you!"

She said and scolded again.

"What are you still doing? Break his legs!"

The stunned guards all around came to their senses, shouted and swarmed forward with sticks in hand, but Li Yu waved the two broken sticks in his hand, and the people were like dragons. With a banging sound, the long sticks flew around, and the guards fell down. Next slice.

Princess Jinyu only felt dazzled. When she saw Li Yu standing in front of her, the broken stick in his hand was lying in front of her eyes. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, blood was dripping from the stick.

"Li Yu, you want to hit me!" Princess Jinyu did not panic, but shouted angrily.

Li Yu still smiled: "My nephew doesn't dare."

Aju held Princess Jinyu tightly, and more attendants came, looking at this scene in horror and at a loss.

The **** broken stick was lying in front of Princess Jinyu, and it could smash her head in the next moment.

"But my aunt can't hit me." Li Yu did not continue to hit me, but said slowly, "Especially because of my marriage. My marriage is approved by His Majesty. If I violate it, I will be unfaithful and unfilial to His Majesty."

He smiled slightly, released the broken stick, and dropped it to the ground with a clatter.

Princess Jinyu trembled slightly.

"Of course my aunt is still my only reliable person in the world, but" Li Yu said, clasping his hands in the direction of the palace, "we still have you above us, and the emperor's order cannot be violated by my nephew. I am also thinking about you, aunt." "Hit me, but the emperor's face was hurt. If your majesty had a grudge against my aunt, then my nephew would be guilty."

Then smile.

"So when my aunt hits me, I will fight back for Your Majesty's sake."

After saying that, he turned around and stepped forward.

"I have already kneeled down to my aunt, so I won't stay any longer. Now I have to prepare for the marriage, so as not to delay His Majesty's holy decree."

Seeing him approaching, the guards surrounding him hesitated a little, not knowing whether to surround him or get out of the way.

Accompanied by chaotic footsteps, people wailing, weapons and sticks clashing, it seemed that a fight was starting outside.

What's going on?

Princess Jinyu looked over and saw a group of attendants rushing in to meet Li Yu.

"Your Highness—" they called, surrounding Li Yu, pointing swords, guns and sticks around.

Princess Jinyu's face turned pale, and she said several times: "I used to kneel to come to the door, but now I fight and kill to get in. King Chu is so majestic!"

Li Yu looked back at Princess Jinyu, without refuting or explaining, and took over the topic and said: "Life is really unpredictable. At the earliest time, I couldn't even get in the door while kneeling." Princess Jinyu didn't do it once or twice before. Make a move on him.

He looked at Princess Jinyu and moved his lips.

Although no sound was made, Princess Jinyu seemed to hear him speaking in her ear.

"I won't give you another chance to hurt me."

Li Yu glanced at Princess Jinyu again, withdrew his gaze and strode out. He didn't know whether it was because Princess Jinyu didn't issue any more orders, or because the guards around Li Yu were fierce, or because the young King Chu's shoulders and back were straight and no longer as usual. She was laughing and smiling, her expression was calm, and she couldn't look directly at her. The guards of the Princess Mansion moved with her, but no one stepped forward to stop and strike them. They watched Li Yu and his entourage walk out of the mansion.

There was also a tense situation in front of the door, and the strong slaves guarding the gate of the Princess Mansion were not as arrogant as before. They looked nervous and in a trance, as if they didn't know what was going on.

The King of Chu was clearly escorted by only a few servants, but suddenly so many servants appeared and broke into the princess's house with weapons, beating anyone who dared to stop him.

If they hadn't shouted King Chu's name, they would have thought it was robbers and robbers breaking in.

This is the princess's mansion!

"Your Highness." Cai Songnian did not go in, but looked a little relaxed. When he saw Li Yu coming out, he greeted him with a smile, "The Wu family of Qinghe is willing to be your highness's matchmaker."

A smile suddenly appeared in Li Yu's deep eyes: "Okay, okay." He was a little nervous, "Then what should I do next?"

Cai Songnian smiled and lifted the car curtain: "When Your Highness goes to visit Mrs. Wu, she will tell you."

As the curtains were lowered, the carriage drove slowly away, and the guards surrounding King Chu dispersed like a tide. If it weren't for the broken sticks remaining on the ground, and the faint moans coming from the companions behind them, it would have been as if nothing had happened. More than average.

But the concierges at the Princess Mansion knew that King Chu Li Yu was different.

Princess Jinyu stood in the corridor, her body still trembling. There were servants kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear. The injured servants did not dare to cry out.

"You bitch, you little bitch." She gritted her teeth and cursed, "This means taking refuge in the emperor. With the emperor as his backer, he doesn't take me seriously. He is ungrateful, ungrateful, and has a bad heart."

"Princess, the matter is over, let's forget it." came the voice of Shangguan's consort.

Princess Jinyu looked at him. The attendants who were originally guarding him had already let go and stood aside blankly.

"Your Majesty has spoken, and his words are golden." Shangguan's consort said, "If the trouble continues, both you and Your Majesty will look bad."

Princess Jinyu strode over, raised her hand and slapped Shangguan's consort in the face.

Although she is a woman, her strength is not small, and a red mark suddenly appeared on Shangguan's consort's fair face.

"It's all you. If you hadn't saved this bitch, how could I have been humiliated by him!" Princess Jinyu scolded, still not satisfied with herself, and slapped her again, "Shangguanxue, are you happy now? Look? Let me be humiliated by Du Sanniang’s son!”

Shangguan's consort staggered back and stood still, clenching the hand hanging by his side, but finally letting it go.

"Princess." He said softly, "He is the son of your royal brother, the late prince. Furthermore, the reason why he can humiliate you this time is because of the emperor."

Princess Jinyu looked at him, her chest heaving violently, her eyes full of anger.

Shangguan's consort raised his hand and gently touched her shoulder, helping her calm down: "This world belongs to your Majesty after all. With the emperor as your backer, you will naturally have nothing to fear."

The Son of Heaven, the Emperor, and Princess Jinyu gritted their teeth and looked in the direction of the imperial city, then raised their hands to open Shangguan's consort's hand.

"Go away." She cursed, "They are not good things!"

He turned around and strode inwards.

The servants and maids followed him tremblingly.

Shangguan's consort stood there, and the night gradually opened, shrouding him in shadow.

He raised his hand and gently touched his face.

"Yeah, they're nothing."

Accompanied by the emperor's conferment on the concubine Bai and the King of Chu's marriage decree, the capital once again became lively.

However, the door of Dongyang Hou Mansion is still closed.

No one can come in to see the maid who was deeply loved by the King of Chu and entrusted to the care of Dongyang Hou Shizi.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou also specifically warned Dongyang Hou: "Don't think that glory comes from His Majesty's decree. This is what King Chu stalked and begged for. The emperor is not happy, and Princess Jinyu is even more angry. She has closed the door to thank guests. How can we Don’t make a big deal about it.”

Dongyang Hou came to his senses and immediately hid in another courtyard under the pretext of making a lotus painting.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou also forbade the family members from talking and snooping: "This is just a matter that the King of Chu entrusted to the prince. The prince will do his duty to take good care of the people. If the prince of Chu marries the prince, he will gain his reputation. He must not make any publicity or arrogance."

For a while, Dongyang Hou Mansion was quieter than before.

But when the matchmaker of the King of Chu came to visit, Mrs. Dongyang Hou could no longer refuse and disappeared. No matter what, she could not let Zhou Jingyun, who was injured and bedridden, come to see the guest.

Seeing Mrs. Wu wearing a red shirt and Luo shirt walking in, Mrs. Dongyang Hou stood up to greet her.

"I didn't expect to ask you to be the matchmaker," she said.

The Wu family in Qinghe was a prominent family, and Mrs. Dongyang Hou did not dare to neglect them.

Mrs. Wu, who was about fifty years old, returned the favor and sighed, "Who gave me a useless son?"

Because the King of Chu wanted to marry his maid, and Princess Jinyu didn't like it, the powerful families avoided contact with the King of Chu. However, it was inevitable that the rich and powerful families would have dandy children, especially those who were favored at home. Seeing that the King of Chu was in need, How can I not help?

The incompetent old man of the Wu family made a big fuss at home. Mrs. Wu doted on her grandson and forced her daughter-in-law to be a matchmaker.

Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Dongyang Hou with some sympathy. After all, Zhou Jingyun was also a playboy. Otherwise, how could he help King Chu do such a ridiculous thing.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou didn't want to talk more about this, so she asked Madam Wu to sit down and told Mother Xu, "Please ask her to come out and meet her."

Not long after, Mrs. Wu saw a tall, thin and young woman wearing a small floral dress walking in. She was elegant in manners and beautiful in appearance. She didn't have the cowardice of a maid, nor the arrogant kitsch that was cultivated on the flower house. She was just a person. A neat little lady.

No wonder King Chu loves him so much, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but think.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou told Mrs. Wu's identity, and Bai Li bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness didn't tell me either." She said apologetically, "I don't know the news at all."

Mrs. Wu smiled: "Your Highness carefully inquired about various rules, because I heard that it is best for unmarried couples not to meet before the recruitment period, so I didn't come to tell you."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou said with a smile but not a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really thoughtful."

Bai Li smiled and said nothing more.

Mrs. Wu's eyes turned to her, and thinking of King Chu's request, she said to Mrs. Dongyang Hou: "Anyway, getting married is a great event, and it is fate that our two families can participate in it. Let's do it well." Our decency." After saying this, he smiled again, "I have a suggestion, Madam, can you accept Little Lady Bai as your adopted daughter?"

The status of a maid is always too low. If she accepts Mrs. Dongyang Hou as her adoptive mother, she will have a decent status.

As soon as Madam Wu finished speaking, two voices sounded in the room.

"No."

Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Dongyang Hou was also stunned for a moment. She glanced at Bai Li and snorted in her heart.

What doesn't she want? I didn't ask her!

Besides, why does she still dislike it?
