Li Qingyi covered his lips and laughed, "Your mouth is getting worse every day."
Changlan felt that he was being praised, and said with a smile, "It's the girl who taught me well!"
Li Qingyi secretly rolled his eyes, "Okay, talk less and listen more, don't let others take advantage of you."
"Yes, I know this."
Woad looked at the movements of the ladies and said, "They seem to be hiding their hooks."
Hidden hook is a popular folk game suitable for all ages, which is similar to shooting.
The gameplay is to pass a silver hook or a jade hook between the hands of everyone. The people participating in the game are divided into two groups. The Cao people shoot to know whose hand the small hook is hidden. The one who guesses correctly wins, and the one with the highest hit rate in the end wins.
The master and servants approached, and the people in the pavilion also saw them. Song Linlang glanced at Xu Hanzhang.
Xu Hanzhang's mouth showed a troubled expression.
Today, Xu Xiangfu is the host. She can't mock the guests for no reason, do something rude and lose the face of the Prime Minister.
Seeing this, Song Linlang had no choice but to speak herself, "Miss Li was kidnapped. Could it be that she was injured and her bones were not in good condition, so she came so late and lagged behind Her Highness the Princess."
The implication is that Li Qingyi does not understand the rules.
Moreover, Li Qingyi was obviously attacked together with Qin Zeng, but when it came to her mouth, it was said that he was kidnapped. A young girl was kidnapped before she was married. It was not a pleasant word to spread.
When he went back to Xishan for hunting last time, Li Qingyi noticed something was wrong with the way Song Linlang looked at him. He didn't know if he had heard something, but this time he spoke against her again, obviously deliberately trying to embarrass her.
She looked at the faces of the women. Some were looking at the joke, some were timid and fearful, and some had nothing to do with themselves. No one stood up to save her.
Oh, you are so bitter!
The grapes are there and you dare not eat them, but you are jealous of others eating them. It makes no sense!
Li Qingyi smiled slightly, and first greeted the third princess without changing his expression. Then he took out the invitation from the Xu family unhurriedly from his sleeve, unfolded it, looked at it carefully, and said: "Your mansion has sent you a gift." The post he sent me clearly stated the time of day, could it be that... the servant got the time wrong?"
Song Linlang came to Prime Minister Xu's Mansion to help organize the spring banquet, and it was from her hand that the invitation was sent.
Her expression changed slightly, but she didn't expect that the invitation was still in Li Qingyi's hand and had not been handed over to the maid at the concierge.
At this time, she was holding the evidence. Song Linlang couldn't say anything in front of everyone. Although she was unwilling to do so, she could only say: "This maid deserves to be beaten. She can't do such a good thing. I will punish her severely when I turn around."
The third princess was tired of watching this kind of boring drama, so she said, "Okay, don't ruin everyone's interest, let's continue."
This was not the first time that the third princess saw Li Qingyi. Seeing that she calmly handled Song Linlang's difficulties, she glanced at her intently.
Li Qingyi felt her gaze and responded with a gentle smile.
The third princess didn't have much hostility toward her like the others, and nodded slightly.
In fact, Song Linlang didn't expect the three princesses to come at all. There were many spring banquets like this, and the princesses would hold such small banquets from time to time in the palace. There was nothing new at all, but the noble ladies held such a banquet. During the banquet, out of respect, he would still send messages to princesses of similar age in the palace.
I wonder if the third princess came because she was bored in the palace.
She spoke, and the matter of Li Qingyi's late arrival was over. Song Linlang was a little unhappy because she couldn't make things difficult for Li Qingyi.
However, Xu Hanzhang did not ask for help, so naturally some people fawned over Song Linlang and said, "Miss Li and Mr. Qin are about to have a good deal, but do you still have some time?"
Guo Zi'er insisted on the word "good thing", and the meaning was self-evident.
Li Qingyi looked at her and smiled slightly: "The Queen loves her so much that she sent a few nuns to the house to help manage it. I don't need to worry about it."
Seeing that he failed to stab her, Guo Zi'er made a mockery again, "Miss Li, with her goddess-like appearance, is a perfect match for Master Qin. Alas, it's a pity..."
What a pity, everyone knew it well, and they started whispering to Li Qing
Yi started to talk about his future life as a "widow" without restraint.
Li Qingyi put his fingers on a green mountain tree lying in the snow beside the pavilion, as if he didn't hear anything.
Guo Zi'er saw a punch hitting the cotton, turned around and saw Song Linlang showing dissatisfaction, and said even more fiercely: "I don't know why the emperor granted such a marriage. Did Miss Li ever feel resentful in her heart?"
Li Qingyi turned to look at her, still silent, but with a slight wave of ridicule in his eyes.
Guo Zi'er frowned slightly in confusion, then saw the third princess narrowing her eyes and saying, "The emperor's decision is something you and others can't arbitrarily discuss?"
After all, she was a royal princess, so she had an air of majesty, and her harsh tone shocked all the girls, and they quickly stood up to accuse her.
Guo Zi'er knew that she had said something wrong and said quickly: "My daughter is speaking out of bounds. Please forgive me, Princess."
The third princess said nothing more and waved her hand absently, "I have to change my clothes."
"Your Majesty, please come here." Song Linlang seemed to regard herself as the master of Xiang Xiang's Mansion, and quickly led the princess to the back. Before leaving, she gave Guo Zi'er a fierce look.
After being scolded by the princess, everyone stopped talking about the marriage between Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng, and went to enjoy the flowers in groups.
The voice of the voice reached Li Qingyi's ears faintly, "I heard that Mrs. Xu Xiang asked the queen to invite the emperor to the palace, and she will paint a picture of the goddess in public soon!"
"Yes, I heard about it too. That Huang Zongfeng has superb skills, and the woman in the painting is as agile as a real person. I wonder if this picture of a goddess can draw us all into the painting?"
"I don't know. With so many of us, can we all be picturesque?"
"It's not that the scroll is three feet long. It should be possible...if not, that would be a real pity..."
When Li Qingyi heard this, he lost his hearing and muttered in his heart, Huang Zongfeng is here, and so is the third princess.
But don't let her run into something she shouldn't run into.
Driving slowly along the way, Li Qingyi paid attention to the movements around him while admiring the flowers, planning to take a short turn before returning to the Bajiao Pavilion.
It was also a coincidence that when she passed a corner, she suddenly heard a voice saying: "Go and ask Huang Zongfeng to come to the garden and ask him to wait for me at the rockery in the southeast corner."
The voice was that of the third princess. Li Qingyi quickly held his breath and stepped back, turning around and walking towards another path.
Isatis Lan and Chang Lan followed her quietly, not daring to speak. They did not relax until they were far away. Li Qingyi looked up at them and saw fear in their eyes.
It's certainly not a good thing to know such a secret.
"Okay, let's just pretend we don't know."
"Yes." The two girls were very nervous. Knowing the secret of the princess, they might be silenced.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the three masters and servants returned to the garden and sat down, a maid came to Li Qingyi and said, "Miss Li, the third princess has something to say to you in private. Please come over."
Li Qingyi was stunned.
The third princess is currently busy having a private meeting with Huang Chongfeng, why would she ask her to come over to talk?
Could it be that the princess knew that she heard her secret?
