This time, Li Qingyi got on the carriage and left. The second lady and a pair of children watched eagerly in front of the house.

The second girl, Li Miaoran, was crying so hard that she was out of breath. "Why did the eldest sister just leave? Didn't she not go?"

She is only one year younger than Li Qingyi, and the two usually have a very good relationship. Yesterday, Princess Yuanheng came to visit, and the house was in chaos. Her mother refused to let her out, and she did not dare to disturb her eldest sister.

But I never expected that the eldest sister would leave as soon as she said she was going to leave!

I didn’t even have time to say goodbye!

The second young master Li Yuanzhi asked: "Mom, will the eldest sister come back after staying for a few days?"

The second lady smiled: "Ran'er, don't cry! Yong'er goes to Xuanxin Temple to find your father. Let's pack our bags and go to the capital now!"

*****

It only takes three to five days by horse-drawn carriage to get from Yangzhou to the capital.

That day, rain poured down from the sky like the sky was falling. They could have stayed at the inn, since there was only half a day left to travel, but Princess Yuanheng was anxious to go back, so the group hurried on in the rain.

As a result, the wheels of Princess Yuanheng's carriage broke apart, and the group had to stop in the rain, waiting for the coachman and servants to repair the carriage.

In the heavy rain, the sound of horse hooves and wheels suddenly came from behind. Li Qingyi opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a group of people walking around the corner. Although it was in the rain, they were all alert and alert, with an awe-inspiring aura.

In the middle of the team, two tall and strong black horses were dragging a wide carriage. The golden bells under the eaves swayed violently in the storm, making a crisp sound.

Perhaps feeling that the team was slowing down, the people in the carriage asked, "What's the matter?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, the attendant who was driving the car replied: "My lord, there are several carriages parked on the road. It seems that the wheels are broken."

"Don't worry about it."

The man's voice was calm and powerful, with a bit of deep magnetism. Such a pleasant voice, but the words he spoke were not human at all.

The attendant asked, "Sir, the road is blocked."

The person in the carriage then reached out and opened the dark blue-patterned Sichuan brocade curtain to look outside, only to encounter a pair of eyes that were as bright and scorching as spring dew.

The man's narrow eyes narrowed dangerously, and his thin lips revealed a kind of alienation and indifference to the world.

Li Qingyi subconsciously tightened his hands in his sleeves.

This is Qin Zeng, the admiral eunuch of Dongchang, the most capable person around the emperor, and all the royal guards under his command are fierce.

His power is overwhelming and he is truly a powerful official. The mere lifting of his thin eyelids can make people tremble.

He is also the person Li Qingyi has followed for five years.

Unexpectedly, they would meet here.

Thinking of that night, Li Qingyi's cheeks turned red...

Qin Zeng over there frowned and looked away when he saw her looking pregnant.

The confidant guard on the side secretly thought: Tsk, it’s another one who is interested in the skin of his family.

pity……

His lord is a eunuch!

Over there, Princess Yuanheng saw that the coachman was still unable to repair the carriage, and wanted her servants to ask for help. Unexpectedly, when she took a look at the other party's carriage, it turned out to be the emblem of Dongchang!

She was so frightened that she urged the carriage to give way!

The road was clear, and Qin Zeng's carriage left without hesitation, without even looking at Princess Yuanheng.

The girls sitting in the carriage at the back looked around curiously, "Is this Mr. Qin, the admiral of the East Factory? I usually think of him as someone with three heads and six arms based on his reputation, but I didn't expect him to be so good-looking?"

"What's the use of looking good! He's a eunuch!"

The girls sighed with regret, and Lingxi reminded: "You still dare to speak ill of Mr. Qin, I will give you your life!"

The girls shrank their heads, but some of them were brave, "You can't praise him for his good looks and have your life taken away, right?"

"That's impossible to say! I heard that even the prince is afraid of Lord Qin and will take a detour when he sees him!"

Lingxi rolled his eyes secretly, sooner or later these people would die on his own lips!

The carriage was finally repaired and the group continued on their way.

Li Qingyi lowered the car curtain and lowered his eyes in meditation.

Heng Wu was not as bold as Ji Lan, but he was very careful and asked: "Do you know this sir?"

Li Qingyi was silent and suddenly smiled: "I just saw that this husband is beautiful, but I didn't expect that he was from Dongchang!"

Heng Wu and Jian Lan looked at each other and advised: "Girls, when you arrive in the capital, you don't want to say whether your husband is beautiful or not. The rules in the capital are very strict!"

Li Qingyi didn't refute and agreed with a smile.

The group of people entered the city quickly, and people from the Wei Mansion had already come to greet them.

Princess Yuanheng touched the wound on her forehead and glanced at Nanny Qin, whose face and lips were swollen and a few teeth were missing. She felt a little suffocated and said, "You can get off the car and go back to your home to recuperate in a while. There is no need to follow you back for the time being." I’m here, when I’m ready, I’ll come back.”

Aunt Qin's breath was stagnant.

Does the princess think she is embarrassed?

"Yes, Princess..."

The princess took a deep breath, feeling a fire in her heart.

After a trip to Yangzhou, both the master and the servant were injured. I still don’t know how the two in the second and third bedrooms are going to make jokes!

The carriage drove until it reached the second gate of Wei Mansion before stopping.

Li Qingyi helped Isatis Lan's hand get out of the carriage.

Under the oil-paper umbrella, she was wearing a plain rain-stained azure silk gauze skirt. The embroidered cloud patterns flowed like water waves as she walked, and she exuded an ultimate sense of nobility in her careless heart.

Everyone in the Wei Mansion who came to watch was suffocated.

They only heard that the eldest girl of the Li family looked like her father Li Zhi, but no one had ever seen what Li Zhi looked like.

However, the person who could make Princess Yuanheng decide to marry at just one glance must have a shocking appearance.

Look at this Li Qingyi now...

No wonder!

No wonder the government has set its sights on her!

The girls also commented one after another: "Is she wearing gauze?"

"The silk yarn alone is not worthy of praise. What is unusual is the full embroidery on it! I heard that the embroidery thread to embroider the silk yarn has to be split into sixteen strands, and the best embroiderer can embroider half a leaf in one day. !”

"Such expensive materials are just dragged in the rain... Our third wife is so rich, but we are not so heroic..."

Wei Laner gritted her teeth and looked at Li Qingyi's style and appearance, and then looked at the eyes of everyone looking at Li Qingyi, their eyes filled with crazy jealousy.

She is obviously the eldest daughter of the Wei family!

Everyone should revolve around her!

"Mother!"

Wei Laner took the umbrella from the girl's hand and trotted towards Princess Yuanheng.

"Lan'er, it's raining so hard, what are you doing here!"

"Mother, Lan'er misses you!"

Wei Lan'er threw herself into Princess Yuanheng's arms, showing off the deep love between mother and daughter, while glancing at Li Qingyi with her eyes.

Li Qingyi received Wei Laner's demonstration, looked at Wei Laner from top to bottom, and said the most disdainful words in the gentlest tone, "This is the eldest daughter of the Wei family???"

That's it?

That's it? ?

Princess Yuanheng’s eyebrows skipped a beat, while Wei Laner was as angry as a cat with exploded fur!

The Wei family members who were standing on the porch to hide from the rain and watch what was going on, although they did not hear what they said, Li Qingyi made Wei Laner so angry with just one sentence, which showed that he was not a simple person.

The second lady touched her cheek with her handkerchief and said, "Interesting!"

The third lady glanced at her and said, "This kind of appearance is far inferior to that of the eldest girl in our family..."

Several girls in the Wei Mansion had different expressions when they heard this.

Princess Yuanheng didn't want to be looked at like a monkey, so she ordered her servants: "Take Miss Li down to change clothes and freshen up, and then go to the flower hall to meet the elders later."

Miss Li?

When everyone heard this title, there was another commotion.
