sunny.
Slightly cool.
It's still early autumn, and the weather seems to be getting a little cooler.
It is foreseeable that this year's cold winter will be earlier and more severe than in previous years.
Outside the Li Garden, the most beautiful woman from the Great Shang Dynasty and twenty years ago arrived at the same time, with beautiful faces and beautiful faces that were dizzying to the eye.
In terms of appearance alone, the nine princesses of the Great Shang Dynasty were undoubtedly the best in the world. In the writings of serious historians, they were praised as more beautiful than flowers.
There is no shortage of beauties in the Central Plains, but Murong's beauty is indeed unique and does not need the blessing of anything else, regardless of status or temperament.
For example, our lady Qin Grace is also very beautiful, but her unearthly temperament and reputation as a sword fairy add a lot of points to this beauty.
If it weren't for the pretense of temperament and reputation as a swordsman, then the word Qin Grace could be equated with a bandit, and a pretty face couldn't save this result.
With everyone's attention, Mu Xizi and Murong walked towards the mansion.
Li Junsheng was walking at the back carrying Chi Lian Mo Qin, and no one paid any attention to him.
Originally, Taotao wanted the second master to come back, but she also knew that the existence of the second master was a thorn in the hearts of many people in the Li family, and she could not go against everyone's wishes.
Therefore, letting the Ninth Princess come forward is the best result.
The young master has already paved all the roads, and the game surrounding the second master has just begun.
The five people entered the mansion. The servants in the mansion retreated when they should and saluted when they should. They all had a hint of curiosity and awe towards the future young lady in the mansion.
A wealthy merchant princess would marry into a merchant family. This was something that no one would have dared to think about ten years ago, or even five years ago.
In the main hall, five people sat looking at each other. Taotao poured the hot tea herself, pushed it over, and said calmly, "Your Highness, Princess, please."
"Thank you."
Murong took the hot tea, took a sip, and praised, "It's long in the mouth, it's really a good tea."
"If Your Highness Princess likes it, you can take some with you when you leave." Taotao said with a smile.
"One family, don't talk about two families." Murong smiled and responded.
Taotao heard the words of the nine princesses in front of her and understood them. She nodded and said, "Taotao said the wrong thing."
The ninth princess was indeed much smarter than the fourth prince, and it was easier to cooperate with them. No wonder the young master left the capital so relieved.
"By the way, Taotao, it seems that the prince has been out of the city for several days. When will he be back?" Murong asked curiously.
"It will take another two or three days."
Taotao replied, "The Confucian sect discovered a Taoist sect ruins. Mr. Bai asked the young master to help. Your Highness the Princess should also know that the young master is quite accomplished in magic circles and can be of some help."
"I see."
Murong nodded and said, "The prince is good at magic. I heard the emperor tell me about this. The prince is not feeling well right now. Is there any danger?"
"Won't."
Taotao shook her head and replied, "With Mr. Bai and Xiaosi beside the young master, everything will be safe."
"Xiaosi?"
Across the tea table, Mu Xizi deliberately showed surprise when he heard this, and asked, "It seems that I have never heard of this name before."
"Before, Xiaosi had been over there in Yuzhou City."
When Taotao heard the eldest princess's question, she explained kindly, "The young master was injured this time, and the master was worried, so he asked the mistress to come over and take care of the young master's daily life. Her highness the eldest princess has not heard of it, which is normal."
"To be able to become the prince's personal guard, this little fourth girl must be very capable?" Mu Xizi continued to ask.
"Xiaosi's strength is indeed very strong."
Taotao replied, "At least, much better than me."
"Miss Taotao is too modest." Mu Xizi said with a faint smile.
While the three of them were talking, Yu Qingxuan and Li Junsheng sat there silently at the tea table, neither of them speaking.
Several times, Li Junsheng raised his head and looked at Yu Qingxuan across the tea table, wanting to say something, but every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.
Yu Qingxuan sat next to Taotao. Perhaps because he was too nervous, he did not notice the eyes of the second master opposite him.
Taotao noticed this scene, took a sip of tea, and smiled coldly in her heart.
Nothing to be nervous about.
He has not betrayed the Li family yet, yet he feels so guilty.
The second master, on the other hand, seemed to have something to say.
"Taotao."
At the tea table, seeing that the preparation was almost done, Murong put down the tea cup in his hand and said hesitantly, "Actually, there is one thing I came here for today, and I just don't know where to start."
"Your Majesty, it's okay to say whatever you want."
Taotao said sternly, "His Royal Highness just said that the family does not speak the same language. If there is anything I can do to help, the Li family is obliged to do so."
"It's not a big deal."
Murong responded, looked at the second master of the Li family aside, and said, "It's about the second uncle's return to the Li family. Logically speaking, the prince and I haven't gotten married yet, so it's inconvenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the Li family. However, father The marriage has already been proposed, and the prince has accepted the imperial edict in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The marriage between me and the prince is basically a foregone conclusion, so it shouldn't be too much for me to talk about my second uncle's affairs."
At this point, Murong paused and continued, "Taotao, the second uncle also had his own reasons for leaving the Li family. I can understand that the prince has resentment in his heart, but after all, the second uncle is one of the few people the prince has in this world. Blood relatives should not do something that will regret for the rest of their lives just because of a moment of resentment. Taotao, what do you think of this? Today, I will make the decision to let the second uncle return to the Li family. When the prince comes back, I will personally explain to him. .”
"this."
Hearing this, Taotao looked embarrassed and responded, "Your Highness, I can't be the master of this kind of thing."
"So, I just said, I will be the master."
Murong looked seriously and said, "Taotao, you don't want the prince to regret his life because of his second uncle, right?"
After hearing what the former said, Taotao fell silent for a long time and said softly, "I can let the second master stay first, but I can't guarantee what the young master will decide when he comes back."
"After the prince comes back, I will come to visit you again."
Murong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Taotao. If the prince gets angry, you can put all the blame on me."
"Don't dare."
Taotao said helplessly, "However, the young master has always respected Her Highness the Princess. The young master is still willing to listen to what Her Highness the Princess has to say."
Across the tea table, Mu Xizi heard the result, stretched out his hand to pick up the tea, and curled his mouth slightly.
This matter is settled.
With one Li Junsheng, one Murong, and Qing Xuan, soon the monolithic Li family will no longer be invulnerable.
"Second girl."
At this moment, in the wilderness a hundred miles away from the Great Shang Capital City, Li Ziye spoke and reminded, "It's time for you to go back."
Li Chenyu looked at the Great Shang Capital, which was not far away in front of him, with a look of reluctance on his face, and asked, "Young Master, will you go back during the New Year?"
"Try your best." Li Ziye said softly.
During the Chinese New Year, this last game is almost over.
After the end, the Li family's position in the Central Plains can be completely stabilized.
At that time, he could rest assured.
