At dinner, Ms. Gu might be tired, so she didn't show up. After Ling Li had dinner with Su Li and his mother, Qiu Meng handed an invitation to Ling Li and said carefully,
"Son, I know that you have turned over a new leaf for Li and no longer go out to make trouble. But it's not a good idea to stay at home. I have an invitation here. Take Li to the banquet. Don't let her be wronged. Do you understand? "
Ling Li nodded helplessly and listened to his mother's advice casually. He opened the invitation and glanced at it. Suddenly, he was shocked.
Qiu Meng noticed that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "Son, what's wrong with the invitation?"
"No, no."
Ling Li responded quickly and said with a smile, "But mother, you know that I seem to have a relationship with the host of the banquet …"
Then, he raised the invitation in his hand. Su Li vaguely saw the words "Dongfang Yuyan" flashed on it, and an unknown meaning flashed on her face.
Hearing that, Qiu Meng's face immediately darkened. She glanced at Su Li quietly and saw that Su Li was confused. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and scolded in a low voice, "You have a family now. You can't do the ridiculous thing in the past again! Fortunately, the Fourth Princess is also married. She won't care about the past. You can take Su Li to the banquet. "
Don't care about the past?
Ling Li smiled bitterly. He didn't believe it, but he didn't refuse. He agreed with a bitter face.
Seeing that her son nodded, Qiu Meng left with satisfaction. She thought that she could finally hold her head high in front of those gossipy women! As for how to deal with the banquet tomorrow, it would be solved by the juniors themselves.
The bowls and chopsticks were cleaned up by the servants. Ling Li took the invitation and returned to the East Courtyard with Su Li. He looked calm and a hint of wisdom flashed in his eyes. The host of the banquet was the Fourth Princess, Dongfang Yuyan!
Su Li gently picked up the invitation that Ling Li put on the table. She opened it and said in a quiet and sweet voice, "The Fourth Princess invites all the couples in Yunjing City who have been married for less than a year. Although the reason is sufficient, the time is coincidentally the second day after our marriage."
Speaking of this, Su Li looked slightly cold and smiled in a low voice, "Dongfang Xiao is really suspicious."
Ling Li nodded in agreement. The so-called purpose of the banquet was not as simple as his mother thought. It was obviously a test arranged by Dongfang Xiao.
"By the way, what happened between you and Dongfang Yuyan?"
After a moment of silence in the room, Su Li suddenly asked. Ling Li held his breath, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face. He didn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Su Li's expression didn't change at all. She just shook her head and sneered, "Well, I'm not interested in your romantic history. Don't make any mistakes tomorrow."
Then, Su Li stepped out of the study and quickly disappeared into the night.
Ling Li stood at the table and looked out of the window at the dark night. After a long time, he took a breath and came back to himself. His eyes were clear again.
Turning the wheelchair to the wing room, Ling Li didn't see Su Li. He couldn't help but wonder where Su Li could go at this time.
At this time, Mammy Li passed by the room with a bucket of water. Seeing that the master seemed to be looking for something, she couldn't help but say, "Master, are you looking for Madam? Madam is taking a bath in the back hall. If you go there now … you can catch up. "
Catch up with what?
Ling Li was stunned. Seeing Mammy Li's meaningful smile, his face immediately turned red, and his face was so hot that it could almost make a sesame seed cake.
"Haha!"
Mammy Li couldn't help laughing. She quickly left with the bucket of water. The master was still too thin-skinned. It was not a big deal.
Naturally, Ling Li couldn't go to the back hall. Otherwise, he could foresee that he would probably be kicked out by Su Li. It was not easy to maintain the current situation. He didn't want his image in Su Li's heart to continue to deteriorate.
After going to the bathhouse on the other side to take a rough bath, Ling Li returned to the wing room and waited for a long time. Su Li came back slowly.
Before he saw her, a wisp of fragrance had floated into his nose.
The delicate and beautiful face showed a perfect outline in the moonlight. The white gauze dress was blown by the night wind, and the exposed white skin was still steaming. She was like a fairy from the ninth heaven, unstained by the secular world. It seemed that she would float away in the next moment.
Such a smart and beautiful woman was his wife now …
Ling Li thought of this, and he was fascinated for a moment.
Suddenly —
Whoosh!
A white shadow flashed in front of Ling Li's eyes very quickly, and closed the wooden doors on both sides of the inner room. Then he heard a clear sound of the door bolt. Ling Li woke up and was instantly dumbfounded.
Su Li locked the door?!
"Darling, no one will make trouble in the bridal chamber today. In the future, you can only have a rest in the guest room. Don't worry, it won't be too hard for a long time. When the crisis is over, you can divorce me. "
Su Li's voice came from the door. It seemed that she felt it was not very moral. Her tone was very soft, but Ling Li felt that there was a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.
"What a devil …"
Ling Li was angry. He was also a man, and facing his beloved woman, how could he have no reaction? But it was the most painful thing that he could see her but couldn't touch her.
Nothing happened all night, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye.
Squeak —
The door made a light sound, and Su Li came out of the inner room. She was dressed neatly, with a ruddy face and full of spirit. It seemed that she had a good sleep.
The sound woke up Ling Li, who tossed and turned for nearly a night and slept in his clothes in the morning. He fell off the rattan chair carelessly.
"Hiss …"
Ling Li took a light breath and looked at Su Li's faint smile. His face darkened.
He had reached the inborn realm, and he wouldn't feel tired even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights. But last night … was too torturous, and the energy consumed was much more than that of three days and three nights. So, he felt a little tired now.
At this moment, Mammy Li pushed the door and came in with things to wash. Seeing that they had gotten up early in the morning and seemed to be quarreling, she didn't say much. She just glanced at the messy bed with a slight meaning, and then turned to go out with a snicker.
The maids in the wing-room of the East Courtyard were all arranged by Qiu Meng. In order not to expose Ling Li's action, Su Li had ordered servants to wash in the morning, and Mammy Li, who was an insider, was responsible for it. It saved a lot of trouble.
Washing and tying up their hair ended in an awkward and harmonious weird atmosphere. After breakfast, they got on the carriage and left. Apparently, they only took Ling Mo and Yun Yi as guards.
After the carriage with the mark of the Ling Family passed through two streets, it drove into the controlled street that only the royal family was qualified to walk. It was unimpeded all the way, and finally stopped in a large royal courtyard.
"Master, Madam, here we are."
Ling Mo, who was driving the carriage, said. At the same time, Yun Yi opened the curtain, set up the skateboard, and waited for Su Li and Ling Li to get off the horse.
Su Li pushed the wheelchair out of the carriage. Looking ahead, there was a high wall with red walls and green tiles. On the tall and spacious gate, there was a plaque with three flamboyant characters hanging.
Lingfeng House!
She looked relaxed, but there was a deep caution in her eyes. This was an important place of the royal family, and it was only one step away from the Imperial Palace. If her and Ling Li's real identity was exposed here, it would be hard to escape.
"In the early years, this was the residence of Dongfang Yuyan. Later, Dongfang Yuyan married a husband, and this place was expanded again. So, it has today's scale. The area of the courtyard for the banquet can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time."
Ling Li transmitted the sound in silence in a low tone. Here, they couldn't allow any carelessness. Every step must be carefully analyzed.
This trip could be regarded as dangerous. No one could predict whether Dongfang Xiao would suddenly attack them.
Qiu Meng, who was simple, might not think of this. Otherwise, she would definitely not let Ling Li and Ling Li take risks even if she fell out with those noble madams.
At this moment, a group of maids and eunuchs came out of the gatehouse. They saluted to Ling Li and Su Li and said, "Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Your Highness."
Ling Li was a little proud and shouted, "Madam, what are you looking at? It's almost time. Let's go in! "
Su Li's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that she just came to herself. She blushed and said embarrassedly, "It's the first time for me to come to the Royal Courtyard. I make a fool of myself."
"Hey, even if you make a fool of yourself, you are still very beautiful. It's really … beauty is delicious!"
Su Li blushed again. She quickly pushed Ling Li into the courtyard.
The conversation was heard by the maids. Although they didn't dare to show anything on their faces, they secretly despised them. Even though they were poor in literature, they still knew "beauty is delicious". How could the Third Childe of the Ling Family mispronounce it!
The most talented girl in Yunjing City should marry such a vulgar playboy. It was a reckless waste. They didn't know what the Emperor was thinking.
The design of the Lingfeng House was obviously done by a master. The scenery of every step could be called a picture. It was just beautiful but not arrogant. Su Li could see that the princess, whom she had never met, was not scheming and not difficult to deal with.
After pushing the wheelchair through the gravel path, the two of them suddenly saw the light. They also heard the lively conversation. At this moment, there were no less than 30 pairs of beauties and talents in the courtyard.
Many people also noticed the arrival of Su Li and Ling Li. Seeing the couple "famous in the capital" in front of them, everyone had different reactions. But they all whispered at the same time.
"She is Princess Li. She deserves her reputation. Her eyebrows, eyes and red lips are just perfect. Her skin is as clear as cream. She deserves the title of the first beauty in Yunjing City!"
"You can say this to me. Don't tell your wife. Otherwise, you can't blame me for the trouble in the backyard. Ha-ha-ha …"
"It's a pity that such a fairy-like woman should marry a playboy!"
"Playboy? He is clearly a good-for-nothing. It's flattering to call him a playboy!"
"…"
Ling Li's eyebrows twitched. With his hearing, he naturally heard every word. But he had to pretend that he didn't hear it. It was really aggrieved.
