"I came here today not only for my own illness, but also for my imperial sister. The imperial sister came all the way here because of Master Jiu, and she almost died and became blind because of Master Jiu. Can Master Jiu be kinder to the imperial sister, and go to the palace more often these days to coax the imperial sister?"
Huo Shenzhi's eyes were cold and he said: "I have never had any contact with Princess Beiliang. Whether the marriage can happen or not depends on the King of Beiliang's nod. And if I don't want to, the King of Beiliang can't say anything."
"Your Majesty is not willing?" Li Yu's face instantly turned pale: "But my royal sister is very fond of the Prince. She has been thinking about him since we met a year ago. The Prince doesn't have a princess, so why not give it a try? Besides, His Majesty Zhou has already agreed, and Concubine Liu also likes Shanci very much."
"I don't have a princess, but I already have a loved one. I promised her that I would be the only one in my life, and I will never regret it. Moreover, the King of Beiliang will not marry his beloved daughter to a prince with crippled legs." Huo Shenzhi said. He drank tea, and the tea mist covered his face.
Li Yu was confused: "Then we'll wait until my father replies."
His royal sister has a noble status. Looking at neighboring countries, no unmarried princess can compare with her.
Therefore, no matter how much the Ninth Prince has his heart, he can just let that person be his concubine when the time comes.
At the same time, Li Yu's two relatives were no longer with him.
The petite person looked at the many women in fine clothes and faces brought to the palace, and couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, so he went over to take a look.
Without even noticing, someone in the strictly managed Nine Princes' Mansion had already been following the two of them.
"Princess, you should be careful. If the second prince knows that his subordinates are bringing you out, they will be punished when the time comes."
When Li Yu came in just now, Li Shanci followed quietly, so Li Yu didn't look back to see her.
Now they saw a lot of people carrying a lot of things to a courtyard. The layout of that courtyard seemed to be where women lived.
"This Ninth Prince is cold-hearted and warm-hearted at the end. He is afraid that he knows that it is inconvenient for the princess to stay in the palace for a long time, so he has made arrangements in advance to ask the princess to move in early!"
Li Shanci's initially confused expression instantly relaxed: "Really? How did you know it was for me?"
"The princess will be the future mistress of the Nine Princes' Mansion from now on. Look at this arrangement, as well as the jeweled heads and faces and women's gorgeous clothes that were just sent in. There will be no one else but the princess."
Li Shanci was happy in his heart, and headed inside with a smile on his face, regardless of the obstruction from his followers.
Looking at the people busy setting up in the yard, Li Shanci ordered:
"Change it to peonies. I don't like plum blossoms."
The maid who was playing with flowers and plants raised her head and looked at Li Shanci with a look of confusion on her face.
Before asking, Li Shanci arrived in the room like a butterfly that had been flying through the flowers.
The busy maids inside saw these two people coming in. They all stopped what they were doing and looked at each other in confusion.
"Princess, this is indeed a woman's boudoir. Look at all the furnishings here. They are all extremely rare and extremely rare. Only such top-notch things are worthy of you, princess. The Ninth Prince is really thoughtful, and I bought so many clothes, but I didn’t tell the princess, because I was afraid I would have to wait to give her a surprise!”
Li Shanci became more and more cheerful, and the more people around him said that her simple temperament took her seriously.
"Brother Shen didn't come to see me these days. I wanted to come to him several times, but was blocked. I thought he had forgotten me. I think it was because he was too busy, so why not do it now? Are these things that make me happy coaxing me?"
Li Shanci walked in, and the person behind her revealed her identity.
"The color of the curtains in this room is too light. I don't like cyan, I like red. You should find someone to change it to save you the trouble of fixing it."
After saying that, Li Shanci didn't look at the surprised expressions of others at all. He walked to the rosewood wardrobe, opened it, and saw many gorgeous clothes.
"The Ninth Prince is so considerate. Each piece of these clothes is made of excellent materials, and they are in your size, princess. I'm afraid I don't know what you like, princess, but I have prepared so many."
At this time, the maid in charge felt bad, but she had also heard about the background of the Princess of Beiliang. She was afraid of offending the future princess, so she ordered someone to inform Master Jiu.
Li Shanci's cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes sparkling, and shyly opened a box, and saw that there was actually a bellyband inside!
"oops!"
The box was closed heavily, Li Shanci intertwined his hands, his cheeks were bright red, and he murmured in a low voice: "Brother Shen is so good, why...how could he even prepare such a thing? He...he never asked me what I needed. Looks like that.”
The attendant on the side smiled and lowered his head, not being able to answer. He only said: "Blessed is the princess. The prince is so considerate. The princess has been worried in vain these days. The prince and the concubine are just as concerned about the princess, but the prince does not express it clearly."
Li Shanci secretly swore that he would never mess with children again and would be more considerate.
"You don't need to change it. That's it. I like it very much. The things that Brother Shen arranged must be something he thinks is good. He thinks it is good and I also like it. In a few days, I will go and tell His Majesty that in the palace It’s inconvenient to live here, so come to the palace and stay here first.”
Li Shanci came all the way, and his intentions were clear. Since Huo Shenzhi was a prince, and the emperor was about to marry him, it made sense to take care of the princess under one roof.
The situation here was quickly told to Huo Shenzhi by the person following them.
Li Yu looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Huo Shenzhi said: "I don't know what I did to make Princess Beiliang misunderstand that I like her. I also prepared a house for her and wanted to take her into the palace. It's better to choose the day than to hit it. I will explain it clearly today."
Li Yu stood up suddenly and said, "My dear sister, I have a thin skin, so it's better for me to explain."
Huo Shenzhi looked at Li Yu with faint eyes.
Huo Ying behind him said in a deep voice: "The second prince should discipline Princess Beiliang well. The Ninth Prince's Mansion is not so easy to visit."
The people who followed did not stop them because they were afraid that they were spies, so they did not alert them.
Li Yu never thought that Huo Shenzhi would be so ruthless. How should he... explain to his sister?
As soon as he left the main courtyard, Li Yu saw Li Shanci coming happily.
If I was going to blame him, I couldn't say it immediately.
"Brother Emperor, as you said, Brother Shen has been busy these days and has no time to see me. However, he thoughtfully prepared a lot of things for me and was ready to take me to the Ninth Prince's Mansion! He followed the letter Yes, just as considerate.”
A lie always needs thousands of lies to cover it up.
Looking at the beaming Li Shanci, Li Yu thought of those "letters" and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.
He said in an extremely dry voice: "I haven't punished you for following you here secretly. Well, don't mess around here, the Ninth Prince doesn't like making noise, so hurry up and leave."
As soon as Li Shanci was pulled around and turned around, he saw many maids coming in holding precious hairpins.
"Brother Shen has prepared too much for me!"
Li Shanci felt warm in his heart and broke away from Li Yu.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you touching other people's things carelessly?" Kong Qing was so angry when he saw his master's things being passive that he grabbed them back. When he looked up, he saw Yun Si standing not far away.
Li Shanci's eyes were a little angry, but when he thought that these little girls did not know that she was the future mistress of the Nine Princes' Mansion, yet they could protect her things like this, she smiled and said: "Brother Shen asked you to take these things. For me."
Li Yu wanted to cover her mouth, but it was already too late. She did not forget to remind him: "I am Princess Beiliang."
Kong Qing's face was filled with disgust.
No princess can rob something that Lord Jiu has prepared for his master, right?
"Master!" Kong Qing shouted towards Yun Si, attracting Yun Si who was teaching Lu He.
"This is not for you!" Kong Qing grabbed the hairpin again.
"What's going on?" Yun Si walked over quickly, with a calm face and a generous demeanor.
"What kind of princess is this? She actually dares to steal your master's things in the Ninth Prince's Mansion!"
Li Shanci's face froze, and suddenly he felt funny again: "How could this be Yun Si's thing?"
This was obviously given to her by Brother Shen!
