Su Xiyue finally returned to Beijing and had not seen her relatives for several months. Naturally, she felt more cordial in her heart. She immediately sent someone to prepare lunch and refused to let them leave. After waiting for a long time, Su Xiyue
Xiyue had another sudden idea and asked someone to call the white tiger in the front yard.
"Go to the palace gate and guard it. If you see the Marquis and my brother leaving the palace, ask them to come here together. By the way, you must also stop your uncle and cousin."
After hearing this, Bai Hu hesitated and said, "To tell you what to say to the princess, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for us to do this. The current trend in the capital is a bit complicated. Besides, the prince has just come back and has made two great achievements in succession.
, I’m afraid it will make people jealous. Do you think so?”
Only then did Su Xiyue remember that there was a queen and concubine Hui in the capital! At that moment, she stopped insisting and said with some embarrassment, "I was negligent. Fortunately, you reminded me today. Otherwise, I would have
I don’t know what could go wrong.”
"The princess is also happy to see her relatives, and her subordinates understand."
"That's alright, go ahead."
When Bai Hu reached the door, Li Qi, the second son of General Weiyuan's mansion, also arrived.
"Greetings to the princess, greetings to the old lady, and greetings to mother." As soon as Li Qi entered the door, he knelt down and bowed in a very polite manner.
Su Xiyue was startled and said quickly, "Second cousin, get up, we are all members of our own family, why do we need to pay such a big gift?" After the words came out, she felt that her grandmother was there, so she might feel a little uncomfortable saying this.
OK, I quickly turned my head and looked over, and felt relieved when I saw that the old lady was not displeased.
"Thank you, cousin Princess."
After Li Qi stood up, Su Xiyue realized that she had not seen this legendary cousin for several years. When she saw her today, she was stunned for a moment!
I saw that my cousin had a handsome face and fair complexion. He was obviously a person who practiced martial arts all year round. However, there was no trace of martial spirit in his body. Instead, he showed a bit of elegance and elegance. His slightly thin figure made him look...
Compared with some weak scholars, he is three points weaker than him. It is completely opposite to the heroic spirit of his eldest cousin Li Bing!
"Second cousin, we haven't known each other for several years. I wonder if my second cousin can still recognize me?" Su Xiyue stood up and took two steps forward.
Li Qi raised his head and saw that the familiar little girl in front of him had already turned into a princess with a touch of nobility!
"My cousin has changed so much." Li Qi saw the change in Su Xiyue and was a little emotional for a moment, "I still remember when I was a child, you were always so cool in everything you said and did. I didn't expect you to be so smooth now.
Yes. I heard that you were feeling unwell a few days ago, but now you are feeling better?"
"Thank you, second cousin, for taking care of me. It's much better now. However, the prince is worried and is willing to let me rest for a while."
"That's good. Seeing that the prince treats you sincerely, my cousin will feel relieved."
"Second cousin, are you still thinking about leaving the house for a trip?" Su Xiyue glanced at her aunt beside her and asked with a smile.
Li Qi's face showed embarrassment, "I would like to, but now that it's like this, how can I get out?"
"You evil deed! You dare to say such things again, are you deliberately trying to kill your mother?" Mrs. Li was anxious! She didn't expect that even now, Li Qi is still thinking about leaving the capital. She really wishes she could go forward and give her life.
He took a moment to let him clearly see the current situation.
"Don't be upset, aunt. My second cousin is used to having a loose temper. I can't blame him." Su Xiyue comforted her for a while, then looked at Li Qi again and shook her head lightly. This second cousin's temper was really loose.
Some are not suitable for entering the court as an official. But by chance, he has learned a good skill. If he does not serve the country, people like his uncle may think that training him all these years has been in vain! Now, he can neither be loyal to the country nor be loyal to the country.
I can't bring glory to the Li family. In short, I must be extremely unwilling in my heart.
"Second cousin, please stay here for lunch today. The prince will be back soon, so you can have a chat together. Maybe you can have something in common."
The original intention of Su Xiyue's words was actually to let Li Qi meet King Rui, and then King Rui would enlighten him properly. If this makes sense, at least the uncle and aunt would be less angry.
It doesn't make sense, it's okay, at least I tried my best! But Li Qi didn't think so! When Su Xiyue said this, he naturally thought of Li Bing's previous threat to him! His expression immediately changed!
"Second cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xiyue was really surprised. Even though spring flowers were blooming and the room was warm, it didn't make people sweat, right?
"I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous for a moment. Everyone says that the prince is wise and mighty, and he will be able to see me soon, so naturally I feel a little excited."
Su Xiyue laughed after hearing this, "Everyone says that the prince is ruthless, right? Second cousin, there is no need to deliberately say good things about him in front of me. I naturally know best what kind of person he is.
Already."
After laughing for a while, there was news in the front yard that the prince was back, so Su Xiyue asked someone to set up lunch at a waterside pavilion in the garden, and everyone went there to have a meal. After leaving the yard, Su Xiyue
Xiyue ignored the others and ordered Baihu to go to Taiyuan to find out who the Taiyuan merchant who brought Cao's token to propose marriage was.
Su Xiyue looked at the old lady, who was obviously older than she was before she left, and shook her head secretly. She was not overly worried, but at such a critical time, why did another merchant from Taiyuan appear? And she also said
Bringing Cao's token? No matter how you think about it, it feels a little inappropriate.
The waterside pavilion has already been prepared. Because the weather has already been warm, the doors and windows here are wide open to let in some air. Occasionally, you can smell the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard. Because we are a family, there is a total of extra
When they got together, there were only two men, so Su Xiyue didn't let anyone divide the men's and women's seats, but directly arranged them to sit together.
Everyone bowed and sat down, and saw several maids laying dishes behind the old lady, Mrs. Li and others. Only Liangchen stood beside King Rui, but there was no maid behind Su Xiyue.
ring.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and just as they were thinking about what was going on, they saw Liangchen placing the soup in front of them and taking two steps back. Everyone became even more confused.
"Xixi, how about giving it a try? This is an imperial chef that the king just hired from the palace. The plum pork ribs he made are famous in the palace for their delicious taste. Come on, try it."
Su Xiyue shook her head, "I don't want to eat it. It's too boring."
King Rui frowned and said, "Just eat one piece. Come on, just this one piece." After saying that, he put the piece of pork ribs, which was completely lean meat, on Su Xiyue's plate.
