"I slandered you? Everyone in the capital knows that it was you who did it, and you still don't admit it!"
"People all over the capital?" Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Who is the county leader talking about? Can you call them out for a confrontation?"
Of course, Song Lingyu couldn't find anyone to confront her, and her face turned red with anger, but she couldn't defeat Li Qingyi, so she said, "You... if you don't salute the Lord of the County, I will teach you a lesson!"
Li Qingyi didn't want to embarrass Song Lingyu, but Shia Lan was unhappy, "County Master Song, our girl is also the county chief!"
Princess Yuanheng insisted on giving Wei Jin'er's county seat to Li Qingyi, presumably with the intention of making up for her, but later the Li family came to Beijing, and her status as the eldest daughter of the Xuande Hou Mansion made her the subject of much discussion. Later, her second uncle entered the palace and was The emperor appointed her as the crown prince's young master, and her aura became brighter, which made people ignore her name as the county master.
Song Lingyu obviously remembered when Shiong Lan mentioned this, and lost face even more. Her face turned red, and after holding it in for a long time, she said, "You... you are robbing Wei Jin'er of the position of county leader, you are shameless!"
Li Qingyi glanced at Islam with a strange look, and just as he was about to explain, Princess An Cheng came over, holding an oil bag with Sun Ji's logo in her hand. She frowned and looked at Song Lingyu: "What did you say?"
Song Lingyu obviously knew Princess An Cheng, and her face suddenly turned pale with fright.
Princess Ancheng frowned and looked at her, "You are also a lady, so you naturally know how important a girl's family's reputation is. If you insult and slander her in the street and make it difficult for others, does it mean that your own reputation will be tarnished?"
When Song Lingyu heard this, her face was so red that she was almost bleeding. She was scared and aggrieved, and looked like she was about to cry: "I...I..."
Li Qingyi quickly explained: "Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? What do you mean?" Princess An Cheng looked at her disapprovingly, "Some things cannot be compromised casually, otherwise some people will get into trouble."
Li Qingyi didn't expect Princess An Cheng to warn her like this. These words were obviously for her sake.
"Your Highness, this is really a misunderstanding."
Li Qingyi turned to look at Song Lingyu and said, "A lot of things have happened in Beijing recently. My aunt must not have had time to tell you about it. My cousin will find out when she goes back and asks."
"Aunt? Cousin?" Song Lingyu looked at Li Qingyi suspiciously. She didn't know how she could call her so intimate. However, since Princess An Cheng was present, she didn't dare to say more. She apologized to him and left the clothing store.
Princess Ancheng was also a big-hearted person. The matter was over, and she said, "Let's go! Let's find a place to eat cakes!"
Li Qingyi was surprised, "I thought His Highness was going to take him back to the palace."
"Bring it back to the palace, the queen mother will definitely nag her again. I'll go back after eating."
Li Qingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and followed Princess An Cheng all the way to what she called "the place to eat cake."
The two climbed onto the city wall.
The scenery above the city is beautiful, with birds chirping, and the smoke below the city is vast, with the river lapping at the shore.
Princess An Cheng didn't say much, put a handkerchief on her hand, took out the cake, gave a piece to Li Qingyi first, then looked at the sky and the river, and ate silently.
The pastry is sweet but not greasy in the mouth, crispy and delicious.
While Li Qingyi was eating, he looked at Princess An Cheng curiously, "Your Highness, do you like to see the scenery here? Or are you just looking for a quiet place to eat cakes?"
When Princess Ancheng heard this, she pointed to the distance and said, "Look."
Li Qingyi thought she was going to give advice and say some encouraging words.
As a result, Princess Ancheng sighed and said with a lonely look: "The country is my father's country, and the people are also my father's people. But as a princess, I can't even set foot on this country, and I haven't interacted with many people. A common person has spoken."
The words were full of loneliness, and Li Qingyi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard them.
Yes, if you go to Dapudu Temple, you will be rushed back to the palace with a warning, and you will be subject to extremely strict discipline on weekdays.
Because she is a princess and the legitimate princess born from the queen, she must set an example.
"You are Qin Zeng's friend. You must be a good person. I will talk to you
Say something sincere. "
Li Qingyi was surprised. It turned out that Princess An Cheng invited her to go shopping together because she was Qin Zeng's friend and there was no need to worry about it.
Princess Ancheng looked at the "good man" in front of her and said: "Although there are princesses of similar age in the palace, there is no way to become friends. My mother has only one daughter so far. I usually don't even have anyone to talk to. , but there are many maids accompanying me, but the maids are afraid of saying or doing something wrong, so they are always submissive, which is very boring."
Li Qingyi expressed his understanding. The harem was divided into concubines, and the harem was also divided into concubines. This was an insurmountable gap.
In particular, Princess Ancheng is the daughter of an empress. I don’t know how many people are watching her, wanting to take the queen down from the throne of the mother-in-law and replace her. As her daughter, how can she safely associate with other princesses who are descended from other concubines? , maybe the front foot is smiling, but the back foot is digging holes to plot against you.
Instead of being frightened and suspicious of each other, Princess Ancheng simply ignored everyone.
Going out of the palace occasionally was her pleasure.
No wonder Princess Ancheng had to line up in person to buy a cake.
Is it so that you can blend in with the crowd? Even if it's just for a little while.
"If Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't mind, she will often come to our house to sit and sit. My second uncle is with Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince all day long. The Emperor and Queen will certainly not stop the Princess from going to the Li Mansion."
Princess Ancheng finished a piece of cake and clapped her hands, "Forget it. If I really go, you won't be able to welcome me with care because of my identity. Wouldn't it cause trouble to you? I don't like to cause trouble to others. "
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "If you don't blame the princess, I will treat her like an ordinary noblewoman. I also have a younger sister at home who is innocent and lively. There is also the niece of the lady in charge next door who often goes to our home and is also a sweetheart." A little girl who loves to laugh."
Princess Ancheng turned to look at her after hearing this, with a faint look of hope in her eyes, "Seriously?"
Li Qingyi said sincerely: "Of course it is true. Friends, regardless of their status, should be treated with sincerity."
"Friend?" Princess An Cheng's eyebrows gradually revealed a little excitement, "Okay, I'll talk to my mother when I get back."
The two got off the city wall and walked back slowly. Princess An Cheng obviously talked a lot more than before, "You don't know, sometimes I really want to dig a passage from my house to the outside of the palace. That way , I don’t have to report to my mother, and I don’t have to be surrounded by a group of people, I can leave the palace at any time.”
"Dig a passage through the house?"
"Yeah, but I know that's impossible."
Li Qingyi was stunned. He dug a tunnel in the house and could go out at any time without having to report to anyone?
Could it be that the old aunt of Zhen Mansion...
