Chapter 339: Mandarin ducks on the pool pecking green feathers (Part 2)
Li Xingchen was still laughing at Li Lian'er and Xiao Shilian just now, but in the blink of an eye, Lechang's invitation letter was delivered to him. Seeing Li Xingchen's hesitant and helpless look, Xiao Xiang could only watch the joke from the sidelines.
To say that nothing happened between my husband and His Highness Lechang, who was alone in the valley, let alone Xiao Xiang, I am afraid that no matter whether everyone saw Li Xingchen and Lechang in that ruined temple,
Neither would believe it.
And once Lechang has any intersection with her husband, it will also be a challenge for Xiao Xiang. After all, she is just a concubine, and her identity is destined that she cannot become the head wife. So who should be the head wife of the Li family in the end?
It is certainly important to consider Xiao Xiang’s perspective.
She didn't know much about Lechang, so it was reasonable to be a little worried.
Of course, Li Xingchen had no time to pay attention to Xiao Xiang's expressions and thoughts at this time. Lechang's invitation letter was unexpected. Xiao Shilian's invitation to Li Lian'er was extraordinary enough, but Lechang directly held a banquet to thank Li Xingchen.
It's shocking enough, but when I think about it, it makes sense.
After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess's behavior is not something that can be judged by common sense.
Thinking about history, whether she chose her husband by herself or caused a scene in Yang Su's house by crying for three days in a row, and finally forced Yang Su to let her go, creating the beautiful saying of "reunion after breaking the mirror", which one thing is not shocking, but it is her in
Two men from another time and space, Xu Deyan and Yang Su, have become out-and-out supporting characters.
"It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to ask His Highness Lechang to explain to His Highness the Crown Prince about the marriage between my family and the General's Mansion. In fact, it saves a lot of trouble." Li Xingchen said with a smile, but his smile was very forced, even on his face.
There was still some fever, and it was obvious that Li Xingchen knew very well that this was just an excuse for himself.
Xiao Xiang finally couldn't help but laugh out loud and leaned on Li Xingchen's shoulder: "No matter where my husband is going or who he is going to see today, at least he is with me now. After today
Going further to Xinzhou, my husband is also a concubine."
Li Xingchen lowered his head slightly in astonishment, met Xiao Xiang's pure eyes, couldn't help but smile, and reached out to touch her head gently.
A ray of sunshine shines on the corner of the pavilion. On the pond under the pavilion, a pair of mandarin ducks are pecking each other's feathers, affectionate.
————————————————————
Han Cui Lou is one of the best restaurants in Jiangling City, and today the three elegant rooms at the top of the fourth floor of the restaurant, which overlook the night view of Jiangling City, have all been booked. The shopkeeper of the restaurant has already been greeted, knowing that today there will be
Distinguished guests come.
The whole Jiangling City has long been different from the time when nobles were walking around the streets in Xiliang. How many people can be called distinguished guests? Therefore, the shopkeeper naturally does not dare to neglect. The best cooks and the best wine and dishes have been prepared long ago.
appropriate.
"Your Highness?" the maid called in a low voice, but Lechang, who was leaning on the table, did not answer. He was startled for a moment, and the maid hurriedly said again: "Your Highness?"
"Huh?" Lechang finally came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
"General Lee has arrived."
Lechang suddenly stood up in a panic, subconsciously looking for a bronze mirror, but this was a restaurant, not his daughter's boudoir, where could she go to find this thing? The other maids also looked strangely at how their Highness was so helpless.
I'm running around in circles and don't know how to help.
Ever since he had to entertain General Li here, His Highness has become abnormal. He has to repeat everything several times without saying anything, and he basically stays in a daze wherever he goes, not knowing what he is thinking.
These maids were all unmarried young ladies. Of course, they had no way of understanding Lechang's thoughts, so they could only watch helplessly.
Really unable to find the bronze mirror, Lechang sighed in distress, and then thought about it. Li Xingchen had seen himself under the cliff without makeup, was there anything else to worry about? After comforting himself, Lechang
Just now, he straightened his clothes slightly and said seriously: "Please come in, General Li."
The door opened, and a figure walked in quickly under the guidance of the maid. Li Xingchen was wearing a white robe and a green scarf, with a sword hanging on the left side of his waist and a jade pendant hanging on the right. Although he was not a jade tree facing the wind, he had a somewhat heroic and unrestrained spirit. Compared with
Those rich dudes on Jiankangfu Street holding folding fans and shaking them three times at a time don't know how much they won.
Even though they have seen many handsome children from aristocratic families, these maids can't help but have their eyes light up at this time. It is obvious that Li Xingchen and those children from rich families have completely different temperaments. Even if they are not wearing armor, it is revealed in every move.
His vigor and killing aura told everyone that this was a young general who had returned from hundreds of battles, not a tyrannical playboy.
"I will see you at last, Your Highness!" Li Xingchen said seriously as he cupped his hands.
His very formal way of saluting immediately made Lechang stunned and didn't know how to answer, and the maids around him couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering.
His Royal Highness did not know how determined he was to entertain the rogue general alone. Needless to say, there was no need to say much about his feelings here, but General Li did not seem to appreciate it. This sentence was tantamount to drawing a line between the two of them.
Clear clear boundaries.
Lechang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Li Xingchen's character and way of dealing with people were really unpredictable. He waved his hand to ask all the maids to leave, and then Lechang made a gesture of invitation: "Does General Li really want to be so polite?
"
Li Xingchen watched the maids leave, and then said with a smile: "This is not a barren mountain, but the city of Jiangling. Your Highness is the master, and you will be the minister. You should abide by the etiquette."
Lechang suddenly fell into silence, recalling the closeness between the two under the valley at that time, and sighed softly in his heart. As Li Xingchen said, there is a difference between master and servant. Now in Jiangling City, even if all the maids are dismissed, it is inevitable
Partition walls have ears.
Li Xingchen was about to stand up and pour wine for Lechang, but Lechang firmly reached out to stop him. He turned around and picked up the wine pot, and Lechang solemnly said: "No matter who is the master or the minister in Jiangling City, in this Hancui Tower
You are a guest here, so I should come from this palace to serve you wine."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, but Lechang had already raised his glass: "It would be presumptuous to invite Li Jun here. But Lechang really thanked the general for saving his life under the cliff, and when he heard that the general was about to go on an expedition, he was afraid that he would be so grateful.
I don’t know what year or month I will repay you again, so I’ll prepare a small amount of wine today, please also...”
While Lechang was speaking, Li Xingchen had already walked closer to her step by step. Lechang had been staring down at the rippling wine in the glass. He felt a shadow enveloped him, and then he raised his head in surprise, just in time to see the rippling wine in the glass.
Li Xingchen, who was so close, exclaimed: "You?"
Li Xingchen didn't speak, but looked straight at Lechang with piercing eyes.
