"Li Si...has met the young prince."
After speaking, Li Si raised his head and saw Jiang Fengmian, who had walked out of Zui Jiangyue's gate before, turned back again at some point.
At this time, he and Shen Qiaoran were standing beside Xiao Jue and Shen Qiaochen.
Jealousy flashed across Li Si's eyes, and he just pretended not to see these two people.
He originally thought that since he had already stepped forward to salute, Xiao Jue would naturally express something.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue still had no reaction after hearing his name.
After a while, he just raised his eyebrows in confusion, opened his thin lips and said:
"who?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fengmian and Shen Qiaoran didn't say anything, but a trace of ridicule flashed in their eyes.
There was also a burst of low laughter and discussion among the crowd.
A trace of anger flashed in Li Si's eyes, and he could almost hear how others laughed at him, but no matter how angry he was, he only dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
Shen Qiaochen stood aside, just watching the show.
She also saw Xiao Jue's deliberate suppression of this person.
This man in blue is dressed in an extraordinary way, and his expression is vaguely arrogant. Looking at the expressions of others, it is obvious that this man is not an unknown person in Beijing.
Hearing this person calling himself "Li Si" again, Shen Qiaochen determined this person's identity almost instantly.
"Li" is a common surname.
There are not a few people in the court who have the surname "Li" and have extraordinary backgrounds.
However, there were only a few Li family members in the Dajin Dynasty who had an extraordinary background but were at odds with the Shen family and even the Lin family.
That's right, when this person stopped her, the way he looked at her made Shen Qiaochen feel a little strange for the first time.
You must know that Shen Qiaochen spent all those years in the cold palace learning to read people's hearts day and night.
After rebirth, what is hidden under this young skin of thirteen or fourteen years old is not an innocent girl, but an old and broken soul.
Therefore, Shen Qiaochen was sure of Li Si at the first sight.
The look in this man's eyes showed jealousy, arrogance, and hostility.
…
However, in Shen Qiaochen's view, how could the light of fireflies compete with the sun and moon?
In the face of absolute dazzling brilliance, any act of overestimating one's own capabilities will only make it look even more bleak and dull.
Sure enough, Li Si struggled for a moment, and finally slumped his shoulders and lowered his head dejectedly.
He stepped forward and saluted respectfully:
"Li Si of Zuo Xiangfu has met Mr. Xiao."
really……
Shen Qiao said secretly, it was indeed the Li family of Zuo Xiangfu.
Knowing that he was from Zuo Xiangfu, Shen Qiaochen looked at his face carefully, and sure enough, he found a bit of Li Chun's shadow on it.
Shen Qiaochen had never come into contact with Li Si in his past life.
But just after thinking about it, she finally vaguely remembered that she seemed to have heard of this name.
It is said that in his previous life, none of Li Chun's sons became talented, so he once valued a grandson very highly.
Judging from his age, he must be the grandson of Left Prime Minister Li Chun, who has high hopes for him.
only……
Shen Qiao's eyes flashed. This grandson of Li Chun in his previous life finally lived up to expectations, taking over Li Chun's position and becoming Xiao Li's right-hand man.
The most important thing is that Li Si also played a lot of role in Xiao Li's framing of the Shen family.
Thinking about it this way, Shen Qiaochen should have seen Li Si before.
However, it was many years later.
The Shen family had already been destroyed at that time, and Li Si was not the shallow-minded young man in front of him, with jealousy and anger written all over his face.
At that time, he was already sophisticated and vicious, even worse than his grandfather.
He is said to be vicious because as we all know, the Li family of Zuo Xiangfu is the mother clan of Empress Li.
In the eyes of others, he was naturally classified as one of the three princes who came from Empress Li.
Over the years, the Li family has indeed been conscientiously planning for Empress Li and the third prince.
But no one expected that in the end it was Li Si's betrayal that led to the downfall of the third prince and Queen Li.
You know, Empress Li is Li Si's biological aunt.
He and the third prince born to Empress Li were cousins and had always been close to each other.
Empress Li knew what her father meant, so she always valued her nephew very much. When the time came for the third prince to choose his companion, she naturally let Li Si enter the palace and become the third prince's companion.
As we all know, the prince's companion is not randomly selected. If there are no accidents, the prince's companion will eventually become his confidant in the future.
Therefore, even cousins must have real talent and learning.
Fortunately, Li Si was also Li Chun's most outstanding grandson. For many years after he became the third prince's companion, his relationship with the third prince was indeed as the Li family and Empress Li expected.
The third prince claimed to be the direct descendant of the palace and never looked down upon his other brothers.
But he valued his cousin Li Si very much and regarded him as a true brother and confidant.
But in the end, it was this cousin of the Li family whom he trusted the most who cut off his head with his own hands and surrendered to Xiao Li.
No one knows when Li Si and Xiao Li got together.
But the fact is that when the poisoning of Emperor Chongming was revealed, Xiao Li publicly identified the poisoners as Empress Li and the third prince.
When the two sides were in a stalemate, it was Li Si who was beside the third prince and produced key evidence to prove the crimes of Empress Li and the third prince.
…
Time flies so fast, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Li Chun was inevitably a little uneasy at first, fearing that Xiao Jue would not keep his word, or that the Shen family would come knocking on his door at the next moment.
But slowly, as the days passed, there was no movement from Xiao Jue and the Shen family.
What happened that day was like a dream, as if Li Chun was the only one who remembered it, and no one else mentioned it again.
As a result, Li Chun finally let go of this worry and happily looked forward to the reply from the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, before the reply was received, what was waiting was a message from Cining Palace, ordering Mrs. Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to enter the palace immediately.
Naturally, the Queen Mother's decree could not be ignored, so Li Chun, confused, could only urge his old wife and his eldest daughter-in-law to enter the palace immediately.
Unexpectedly, Madam Li, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law packed up and entered the palace, but they were stopped outside Cining Palace.
Lin Dehai, the eunuch in charge of the Cining Palace, held a white whisk in his hand and did not look at the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He just said condescendingly: "The Queen Mother is tired, just wait." He sneered and turned back to the palace. .
Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family were left looking at his back, their faces turning green and white.
No one in the palace knew that Lin Dehai had been serving the Queen Mother since he entered the palace. Now, decades later, he has become the confidant of Queen Mother Lin.
It can be said that Lin Dehai's attitude represents the attitude of Queen Mother Lin in a certain aspect.
Therefore, even if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Li family were unwilling to do so, they did not dare to show it on their faces. They could only kneel down on the hot bluestone with low eyebrows.
