Li Xiangru was full of doubts and confusion, but more importantly, he felt aggrieved.
"Why are you so angry at me? Am I not worried that His Highness will get into trouble tomorrow when he is drunk and will not be able to go to court and will be blamed by his father? When the time comes, I will definitely blame you."
"I'm thinking about you, but you don't appreciate it at all. Instead, you blame me. And you're so cruel to me!"
As Li Xiangru spoke, she wiped the red corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
In the past, when she was so aggrieved and wiping away tears, Li Mo would have already bent down to comfort her.
Today, Li Mo is still sullen: "On the day you got married, I just stopped him for an hour and didn't let him in, and he turned his face on me. At that time, everyone in the room could clearly see who was not in the dark.
Laughing at you?"
"You were the only one wearing a hijab and didn't see anything."
As for the maids around Li Xiangru, seeing how sweetly Li Xiangru smiles every day, how dare she say such disappointing words.
Because of this, it was a month later that Li Xiangru learned about the wedding day from Li Mo.
Li Xiangru was startled for a moment, and then quickly said: "Your Highness is just born with a cold face. He never meant to embarrass my elder brother."
Li Mo: "..."
Li Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore and stared at him: "Do I care about my face? What I care about is not that you were laughed at and made fun of?"
"Today he accompanied you back home, and I took the lead in pouring him wine. Wasn't it to support you? So that he wouldn't dare to bully you at will! Let him know that you, Li Xiangru, have a natal family and a brother behind you!"
"Okay, okay! You are willing and willing to be angry. It's me who is troublesome!"
After saying that, he angrily walked away.
Li Xiangru was angry and anxious, and immediately chased after him: "Brother..."
"Fourth Princess, Your Highness is drunk and feels uncomfortable, and has already vomited once." The chamberlain reported back and forth in a hurry.
Li Xiangru was startled, and immediately retracted his steps after selling out, turned around and returned to the dormitory.
Li Mo, who deliberately slowed down and waited for Li Xiangru to catch up: "..."
With the husband-in-law, his brother was completely forgotten!
Li Mo's Qi, which originally only had three points, suddenly increased to ten points, and he left angrily.
…
As evening approached, the fourth prince, who couldn't stand the drunkenness, was helped into the carriage by the chamberlain, and he returned to the fourth prince's residence in a daze all the way. After that, he vomited twice and drank a sobering soup.
It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that the fourth prince sobered up and felt a splitting headache.
The fourth prince forced himself off the bed, ordered his servants to bathe and change clothes, and prepare to go to court.
"His Highness is drunk and unwell. Otherwise, please don't go to court today. Take a day's rest in the mansion." Li Xiangru's eyes were full of concern and he comforted her softly: "If you don't go there once, I think your father will not blame you."
The fourth prince's handsome face was slightly green, his brows were furrowed tightly, and his voice was cold: "Shut up!"
"Even if my father doesn't blame me, how could I miss going to court because I was drunk? If this matter spreads, what dignity will I, the prince, have?"
Then, he snorted coldly: "I have accompanied you back to Li's Mansion. If you want to go back later, you can go back alone."
After saying that, he left with a heavy face.
Li Xiangru felt wronged and sad, with tears welling up in her eyes.
She was busy taking care of her drunken husband and had no time to apologize to her brother. When she left the house yesterday, Li Mo didn't show up at all. He was obviously really angry!
Li Mo was angry with her, and the fourth prince was also angry with her!
What did she do wrong?
…
"Reporting to the fourth prince and concubine," a palace maid stepped forward and she saluted: "The third prince and concubine invites the fourth prince and concubine to come into the palace to pay her respects to the empress. The carriage is already outside the palace."
The third prince's palace and the fourth prince's palace were close together. Xiao Yuhan and Li Xiangru went to the palace to pay their respects every day, and they often walked together.
Li Xiangru forced back her tears, wiped the corners of her eyes carefully with a handkerchief, and applied an extra layer of powder under her eyes before leaving the house and getting on the carriage.
Xiao Yuhan wore a vermilion palace dress. She didn't need to put on elaborate makeup, and her natural complexion was fair and rosy. It can be seen that the newlyweds were quite harmonious and harmonious.
Li Xiangru pretended that nothing happened and forced a smile on his face. How could he hide this from the careful Xiao Yuhan?
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yuhan lowered his voice and asked softly: "Is it possible that you are angry with the fourth prince?"
Li Xiangru has the best face, so how can he admit: "It's nothing. Your Highness treats me considerately and considerately. How can I be angry with His Highness?"
Li Xiangru was so brave, Xiao Yuhan couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to change the topic: "By the way, I heard that the fourth prince accompanied you back to your home yesterday. You must be very happy to see your family."
Li Xiangru: "..."
Li Xiangru was hit by another arrow in the chest and forced out a nonchalant smile: "Yes! My mother asked me privately how I was doing, lest I be wronged in the slightest. In fact, they were overly worried. Your Highness treated me so well, how could I?
I will feel a little aggrieved and idle."
Xiao Yuhan: "..."
Forget it, just be happy!
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fourth prince's treatment of his newlywed wife was lukewarm, almost indifferent, which was not really good. However, Li Xiang was filled with joy and did not complain at all.
If you talk too much, it might sound like instigation.
Xiao Yuhan simply stopped talking and asked about Li Mo's marriage: "Your eldest brother is already eighteen years old this year! Hasn't the marriage been decided yet?"
"Not yet. My mother has been worrying about his marriage all day long, but no matter which girl is mentioned, he is not happy. Ask him what he likes, but he refuses to say a word."
Li Xiangru was so depressed that he finally missed one sentence: "His temper is getting weirder and weirder now. He refuses to listen to anyone's advice!"
Xiao Yuhan glanced at Li Xiangru thoughtfully, and said with a casual smile: "You two brothers and sisters have always been close to each other. Isn't it possible that he won't listen to your words?"
Yesterday, she was busy taking care of the drunk fourth prince, and she didn't have time to talk to Li Mo properly, let alone have a heart-to-heart talk...
A trace of discomfort flashed across Li Xiangru's face.
Xiao Yuhan vaguely guessed something in his mind and said no more.
…
Another month passed.
Li Xiangru returned to Li Mansion alone.
Mrs. Li was very happy when she saw her daughter. She took Li Xiangru's hand and asked with a low smile: "Xiangru, how is Your Highness treating you?"
Li Xiangru smiled like a flower: "Your Highness is very kind to me, mother, don't worry."
There was a hint of sadness in my heart.
The fourth prince was so busy during the day that no one was around. At night, he often returned home late at night and rested alone in the study. Although he was newlywed, he was not enthusiastic.
It is really hard to talk about it. After two months of marriage, the two only consummated their relationship on the wedding night. After that, the fourth prince never slept with her...
However, she really couldn't tell such secret things.
Mrs. Li did not doubt that he was there, and did not ask about the boudoir in detail. Instead, she talked about Li Mo's marriage: "...What do you think of the Fang girl?" (To be continued)
