Only then did I realize that Liu Huaian was not born to be such a playboy, but was born to be rebellious.
He once claimed that he was young and frivolous, so he had to imitate the literati and poets of the past, lying half asleep and half awake drunk on the knees of beautiful women, and waking up to take over the power of the world and take whatever he wanted.
It is true that he is full of talents, otherwise Ling Hui would not have given me up just to win over him in order to consolidate the throne.
But when he became wild and dissolute, he was also looked down upon by other courtiers.
All the merits, demerits and controversies in him are due to this Li family.
Some people say that she taught her children well, and Liu Huaian became a powerful minister in the court at a young age.
Some people scolded her that a good scholarly family had become a disgrace to the family due to Liu Huai'an's various reasons.
In any case, there is nothing wrong with being controversial, but who can guarantee that we will be innocent and frank throughout our lives?
Obviously Li sees things more clearly than we do.
Liu Huai'an spent all day living and drinking, so he simply found an excuse to travel around, out of sight and out of mind. He didn't expect that he would be in the spotlight this time when he came back.
Dai Shishi, who was applying yellow flowers to the mirror in Wutong Courtyard, was twirling her orchid fingers and applying lipstick with great satisfaction.
Yurao had just finished arranging her bun, and now she was holding the treasure hairpin in her hand and looking around on her bun, looking for the right angle to put the hairpin on.
At this moment, Dai Shishi's face was full of pride, thinking that she was finally going to straighten herself out, and even hummed a little tune when she was in the best mood.
Even so, Yurao did not dare to disturb her and carefully put on her hair accessories.
The wedding dress placed next to it was so dazzling that Yurao dared not look directly at it.
At this moment, Fu Bo came.
When he entered the door, he happened to hear Dai Shishi humming a tune, and his expression became more respectful and serious.
Yurao was the first to see him and hurriedly came forward to say hello: "Uncle Fu is here. Our aunt hasn't finished cleaning up yet. Could it be that the prime minister can't wait any longer?"
Uncle Fu walked past her and came to Dai Shishi. He bent down and said, "There is something urgent in the house. The prime minister asked the girl to go to the front hall."
Dai Shishi was still immersed in fantasy and couldn't extricate herself. She glanced at Uncle Fu unhappily, thinking that when she really became an aunt, she would ask him to give her a good name today.
She remained indifferent, gently wiping the rouge on her lips with her fingertips, and while wiping it, she asked: "Uncle Fu also knows that today is my big day, so I can't make it too shabby to make people laugh, right?" Did you ask the prime minister what he said?"
Seeing that she refused to leave, Uncle Fu had no choice but to move out of Li's rescue site. After all, the delay was too long and it was difficult for them to reply, so he said to Dai Shishi: "The old lady is back, and she is waiting for the girl in the front hall. "
When Dai Shishi heard this, she was so angry that her fingertips trembled and rouge spread all over her face.
Yurao was so frightened that she quickly wiped her with a handkerchief. She pushed Yurao aside and asked Uncle Fu coldly: "I have lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for so long, how come I have never heard of an old lady?" ?”
Uncle Fu explained: "Since the old lady accidentally made friends with an old monk three years ago, she has been traveling with the monk in the past few years, and the dragon has been missing all day long. This time it is rare that she came back and bumped into the girl. One day, the old lady expressed that she would like to meet you first before considering this marriage."
Dai Shishi was done thinking, she was going to be in trouble!
Yurao watched her expression carefully from the side, and then took the initiative to persuade her: "Anyway, aunt should go out to meet her, otherwise if time goes by, the old lady will blame her, and aunt will not be able to bear it."
Dai Shishi calmed down and followed Yurao's words: "Uncle Fu, please lead the way."
Along the way, she was secretly thinking about how to restore her image and her identity in front of Mr. Li. Can she get through if she cheated?
After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion is a real wealthy family, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in, let alone one with her background.
How could she deal with it in front of Mr. Li?
Her mind was full of thoughts, forcing her to be like an ant on a hot pot.
When she was finally within sight of the front hall, she subconsciously stopped and gritted her teeth, thinking that an ugly daughter-in-law would always meet her parents-in-law, so she would test the truth first.
When she saw Liu Huaian and I kneeling in front of Ms. Li, she knew that Ms. Li was not a good person and it was better to be cautious.
I saw that she was still wearing half-finished makeup and a bottom-layered cardigan. She came to Mr. Li and bowed with great suppleness: "My little girl has met the old lady."
Li's cold voice sounded from above her head: "Look up and take a look."
Dai Shishi raised her head slightly, and when she carefully applied a thin layer of powder, the area where I hit her during the day was covered.
It also looks more delicate and charming.
I must have dressed up deliberately for tonight.
Mrs. Li's eyes swept over her body: "Are you the vixen who seduced my son?"
Dai Shishi secretly gritted her teeth, pretending to be weak and said: "Old Madam, you are wronged. Shishi and the Prime Minister are in love, how can she be a seducing vixen."
Liu Huaian nodded beside him: "Yes, my son can testify to this."
Li Shi glared at him: "I didn't talk to you."
Liu Huaian shut up.
Li continued: "I heard that you are arrogant and domineering in my prime minister's house before you have even passed the door. Is it true?"
Dai Shishi's face turned pale instantly, and she scolded me a thousand times in her heart. It must be that I was gossiping in front of Mrs. Li, which led to her preconceptions and a very bad impression of her.
She glanced at me subconsciously with the tail of her eyes, and then said calmly: "I don't know where the old lady heard the rumors, saying that my daughter is acting domineering in the prime minister's house. Is there any evidence?"
"Besides, I haven't even been here yet, and I'm just staying in your house. How dare I make any pretense and regard myself as my master? I ask the old lady to be aware of everything."
I calmly helped Huaizhu out with a high fever, asked her to sit next to her, and asked, "Did Miss Dai cause trouble maliciously, deliberately confusing what you said to correct you?"
Huaizhu's face was still swollen, and her cheeks looked like ripe peaches because of the high fever.
Huaizhu secretly shook her head at me to forget it.
I gently warned her not to get into trouble and just cooperate with me, because this time I wanted to let Mr. Li get justice for her.
Apparently, Mrs. Li saw the little movement between us and developed a certain liking for Huaizhu for no reason.
Dai Shishi was too frightened to move, and she didn't have the courage to show her wounds and say that I had beaten her.
Besides, even if she dared to show her face, in this unfavorable environment, Li would only say that it was a good fight, so why should she humiliate herself.
Sitting in the high hall, Mrs. Li looked calm and confident, and asked Dai Shishi: "Is what Zhi Yatou said true?"
Dai Shishi hesitated and couldn't reply.
Yurao, who was pregnant with evil intentions, was thinking about taking the opportunity to bite back in order to completely kick Dai Shishi out of the game. After that, her own crisis was successfully resolved.
As a result, Liu Huai'an stood up, protected Dai Shishi in his arms, and said loudly to Li: "My son witnessed what happened today with his own eyes. It was obviously the girl Huaizhu who chewed her tongue first, and Shishi was beaten by Xuezhi again. In the end, it was just a mess.”
"If we really want to be held accountable, it's all Xuezhi's fault. The fault lies in her poor discipline and savage temper. My mother should allow me to reconcile with Xuezhi and agree to marry Shishi."
Everyone present had their eyes fixed on me and Huaizhu.
At this moment, Huaizhu was so ashamed that she huddled in my arms and cried madly, blaming herself.
