At night.
In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, a letter was delivered.
After reading the contents of the letter, Hongzhu's face showed a strange expression.
Ninth Princess wants to see Xiao Ziye.
It seems that the queen can no longer delay.
Thinking of this, Hongzhu turned around and walked towards Huanzhu's room.
"Sister Hongzhu."
In the room, Huanzhu looked puzzled when he saw the person coming, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Send a letter to your brother."
Hongzhu sealed the secret into an iron bead and threw it into a jade bottle on the bookshelf.
After sending the letter, Hongzhu turned to look at the girl behind her and explained, "The Ninth Princess wants to meet your brother, probably to discuss marriage."
Fortunately, this mechanism was built in the secret passage between Li Yuan and the Buyi Prince's Palace in the past few days. Otherwise, transmitting information between the two mansions would be a waste of manpower and a lot of time.
When Huanzhu heard Sister Hongzhu's explanation before him, he smiled and said, "As long as brother comes forward, this matter will definitely be solved."
"Don't be happy yet, your brother may not care about such a trivial matter."
Hongzhu responded, "Based on what I know about your brother, he generally doesn't want to pay attention to things like this that have no consequences. The outcome of the marriage will be the same regardless of whether he meets the Ninth Princess or not."
When Huanzhu heard this, he looked startled and said in disbelief, "If my brother doesn't come forward, then you don't want me to go?"
"If Xiao Ziye doesn't care, then you will definitely have to step forward."
Just as Hongzhu responded, suddenly, a silver bell rang in the room, clear and sweet.
"Brother has replied." Huanzhu said nervously.
Hongzhu nodded, walked to the bookshelf, turned the jade bottle, and after hearing the sound of gold and jade colliding inside, reached into the jade bottle and took out the iron beads.
"What did brother say?" Huanzhu asked quickly.
Hongzhu opened the iron bead and took out the secret message inside. After reading it, he handed it over and said, "As expected, your brother has nothing to do with this matter."
Huanzhu took the letter and took a look at its contents. A wry smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he was about to cry without tears.
The content of the letter is very simple, only six words.
No matter, return the pearl to solve it.
"Just think of it as exercise."
Hongzhu patted the girl in front of her on the shoulder and said, "Although the Ninth Princess is smart, she is young after all and is still inferior to those old foxes. Don't worry, Youwei will accompany you tomorrow. There will be no problem."
"Um."
Huanzhu nodded in response, still a little nervous in his heart.
Although this is not the first time I have performed a mission, I still feel a little unsure every time I encounter something like this.
Just when Huanzhu was at a loss for the next day's task, Li Ziye was telling Nan'er the story of the Legend of the White Snake in Nan'er's room in the Buyi Palace.
"Fahai is a bad guy."
Nan'er said angrily after hearing the story.
"I felt the same way when I was your age."
Li Ziye responded with a smile, reached out and rubbed the head of the little girl in front of him, and said, "Okay, go to sleep."
"Bad guy, what happened to White Lady in the end?" Nan'er asked with hope.
"I have attained enlightenment and become an immortal."
Li Ziye stood up and answered.
"That's good."
When Nan'er heard the former's answer, she smiled sweetly, then closed her eyes with satisfaction and slept peacefully.
When Li Ziye saw Nan'er sleeping, he walked out of the room and started practicing his sword.
At night, the cold wind blew, and the sword shadows were flying, which was extremely dazzling.
A night without words passed quickly.
The next morning, Li Ziye sent Nan'er to school as usual, and then took Xiao Xiao to stay at Wangxiang Tower.
"Brother Li, don't you care about this?" Xiao Xiao asked in confusion, holding his chin in the corner of the second floor.
"It's okay to be idle and watch the excitement."
Li Ziye looked at the bustling pedestrians outside and said, "Just in time to see how much Huan Zhu has grown."
While the two were talking, they looked outside the Xiang Tower and saw three figures appearing. They were Huanzhu, Li Youwei and Murong.
"coming."
Li Ziye reminded.
Xiao Xiao heard this and immediately looked over. When he saw the three people outside Wangxiang Tower, excitement appeared on his face.
It’s finally here.
Not to mention, Huanzhu's disguise technique was so powerful that even her perception ability couldn't detect any flaw.
As the two stared at each other, Huanzhu and the others arrived at the second floor of Wangxiang Building.
As soon as Huanzhu entered Wangxiang Tower, he noticed the familiar scent. After arriving on the second floor, he immediately scanned around.
Soon, Huanzhu saw his brother's figure in the corner.
"Sister Li, Teacher Li, please come this way!"
In front of the two of them, Murong said something and immediately walked towards the position near the window.
Huanzhu came to his senses and followed along with his eldest sister.
The three of them sat down in front of the window, and the waiter immediately came over and served hot tea.
"Sister Li, I still remember the first time we met, right here."
Murong looked at the Li family's daughter in front of him, with a friendly smile on his face, and said, "In the blink of an eye, it has been more than three years."
"yes."
Li Youwei said softly, "Time flies so fast."
"How is the Li family's business lately?" Murong continued to ask.
"It went pretty well."
Li Youwei nodded and said, "Her Highness the Princess has lost some weight."
Murong sighed softly and said, "There have been too many things lately. Sister Li knows the reason."
A few days ago, the queen mother had sent the news to Li Yuan about the marriage. On this matter, Weiyang Palace and the Li family have always been on the same front.
Li Youwei was silent and didn't say anything.
On the side, Huanzhu picked up the tea and took a sip, but also did not interrupt.
Murong looked at the reaction of the two siblings in front of him, frowned slightly, and reminded, "Sister Li, Li Jiaoxi, father, and mother have tried their best to persuade, but the results have been very little. Now it only depends on the attitude of the Li family. .”
"It's hard to disobey the emperor's order."
Huanzhu put down the tea cup in his hand and sighed softly, "If His Majesty really makes the decree, my Li family will not be able to go against His Majesty's wishes."
"Professor Li only needs to delay for a few more days."
Murong said seriously, "As long as the Li family does not agree to my father's proposed marriage before the emperor comes back, there will be room for change in this matter."
"It's easier said than done. If it were so easy to delay, Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn't be here today." Huanzhu said with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Professor Li, can't the plan be advanced?" Murong asked with a gloomy expression.
"no."
Huanzhu shook his head and said, "His Highness has not come back yet, so we can only wait, otherwise, all the previous efforts will be in vain."
"Li Jiaoxi, we can't wait any longer, otherwise, you and I will become victims of the marriage." Murong said solemnly.
"The plan must be carried out step by step. As for the proposed marriage, you can think of another way."
Huanzhu said calmly, "The royal family should have asked the Li family for their opinion on the marriage between the royal family and the Li family. Who will discuss this matter?"
"My mother."
Murong said seriously, "Besides, it will be tomorrow."
In the corner, Li Ziye drank tea and watched the performance of Huanzhu, with a flash of relief on his face.
not bad.
It’s almost time to be on my own.
