When they came out, they didn't meet Li Ruyu and Luo Jingying. Even though Li Ruyu was angry at Jingwan for lying, she was more afraid of Li Hongyuan, so she took this opportunity to slip away. As for Luo Jingying, she was slapped by Li Ruyu and was too ashamed to see others. Because she betrayed Jingwan, she was lucky enough to escape once and was not further destroyed. However, she was forced to stay by Li Ruyu and didn't dare to run away. She didn't know where Li Ruyu was now. Maybe she left Great Elder Princess's Mansion and went back to the Luo Family.
As for Great Elder Princess, she asked people to take Sun Yijia and Luo Jingbo to freshen up. Especially Sun Yijia, not only Duchess Ding and her servants were there, but Great Elder Princess also sent more servants. Fortunately, people like Sun Yijia would basically prepare two sets of clothes when they went out, and they would try to wear the same style and color as much as possible. At this time, she only needed to take the clothes and change the clothes that didn't fit her well.
This time, Jingwan took the initiative to stay with Sun Yijia. Although the final result was not bad, Jingwan suffered after all. More or less, Sun Yijia was responsible for it and felt quite guilty.
Madam Luo and Great Elder Princess naturally agreed to let Jingwan stay. Even though Duchess Ding had many complicated thoughts about Jingwan, she couldn't say anything at this time. Besides, Jingwan was going to be her daughter's sister-in-law. It was said that mother-in-law was difficult to please and sister-in-law was difficult to deal with. Although this girl was not difficult to deal with, it was better to flatter her a little for the sake of her daughter. Therefore, Duchess Ding was very kind to Jingwan.
As for Luo Jingbo's side, Sun Yilin had no choice but to follow him. It was extremely common for a brother-in-law to "make things difficult" for his brother-in-law. This was because the status of the "prospective brother-in-law" was too high, and his temper was too difficult to deal with. Even if he was dissatisfied with him, he could only hold his nose and keep quiet.
However, because of the comparison with the previous one, this one was really perfect. In addition, Sun Yilin wasn't a person who liked to tease people. He would at most give a few words of advice to Luo Jingbo. He wouldn't say anything that was slightly excessive.
After all the irrelevant people left, Great Elder Princess detained all the servants who knew about this matter and sent someone else to look for the missing Princely Heir of Prince Loyal. At the same time, she also began to interrogate them. The first one was the little maid who came out of the lakeside courtyard and lied that there was a male guest there to deceive Sun Yijia.
At first, the little maid stammered and couldn't tell the reason. Under Great Elder Princess's torture, she finally said that she had received a bribe from Princely Heir of Prince Loyal and was looking for an opportunity to deceive Sun Yijia. Princely Heir of Prince Loyal, who was hiding nearby, was waiting for an opportunity to take action.
If what she said was true, then the most important thing now was Princely Heir of Prince Loyal.
Princely Heir of Prince Loyal was indeed a "fat pig". However, he didn't have the fate of Li Hongyuan, but he had the disease of Li Hongyuan. He was dissolute and lustful and even dreamed of keeping a courtyard of beauties for him to enjoy day and night like Li Hongyuan. However, regardless of his status, he was the Princely Heir of Prince Loyal. Even if he was not as good as the Princely Heir of Prince Loyal, he was not inferior to the Princely Heir of Prince Loyal. However, his physical condition was two extremes. Women avoided him like the plague, and even the women in the brothel despised him. He was not as bold as Li Hongyuan, who dared to casually stretch out his hands. Naturally, the ones who suffered were the maids around him. The range of choices was limited, and naturally, the beauty was greatly reduced. He was still far away from his grand dream, and probably would not have the chance to realize it in this life.
Such a person had fantasized about all the noble ladies in the capital, especially Sun Yijia and Ruan Fangfei. But he just fantasized about it. At most, he would say a few obscene words when he was drunk with a group of bad friends. Everyone knew his virtue, and Prince Loyal had punished him a lot. However, he was not a righteous man, so he let it go.
No matter how powerful Princely Heir of Prince Loyal was, in fact, he was not very bold. However, no one expected that this time, he was so bold as to stretch out his hands to touch the woman of the King of Hell after Sun Yijia became Li Hongyuan's future wife. Did he eat the bear's heart and leopard's heart eat the bear's heart and leopard's heart? It should be known that when he met Li Hongyuan, he was absolutely like a mouse meeting a cat.
Not to mention Prince Loyal, even Great Elder Princess thought that he was likely to be instigated by others, or had been caught and threatened with his life.
However, they originally thought that it would be easy to find Princely Heir of Prince Loyal, but it was not so. He ran away after Sun Yijia fell into the water. They had asked the gatekeeper and didn't see him leave. So he must still be in Great Elder Princess's Mansion. There was no need to look at anything else. Just by looking at his body shape, one would be able to recognize him from a distance. This was also the reason why Luo Jingbo had been able to recognize him in an instant. There was no one else with such a body shape in the entire capital.
Now, even the backyard was searched, but there was no trace of him.
Great Elder Princess and Prince Loyal almost at the same time had an ominous premonition.
"Continue to search. Don't let go of any place. Wait." Since the accident, no one had seen Princely Heir of Prince Loyal. It was still the same sentence that no one could ignore him. "Search all the flowers and rockery around Linshui House one by one. If you still can't find him, go into the water."
At this time, even Princess Loyal also came to her senses and was a little confused. Although she didn't say anything before, she actually didn't care about what happened before. It was her son's blessing that Sun Yijia could fall in love with Sun Yijia, who was disfigured. And it didn't work out in the end, did it? Prince Jin also got what he wanted and kicked Sun Yijia out. It was a happy thing for everyone, but she still made a big fuss about it. What was there to investigate? But now, her son might be gone.
Princess Loyal opened her mouth and howled. She changed from a "fat" lady to a shrew in an instant.
"Shut up!" Prince Loyal frowned tightly. When the former emperor was in power, he was not favored and had to rely on the current emperor, who was still a prince. This princess consort was originally just a merchant's daughter. Her family didn't have much, but they had plenty of money. His imperial brother needed money, so he, as the younger brother, came in handy. He married the merchant's daughter, but for the sake of saving face, before the marriage, he made the merchant's daughter an official. But in essence, it didn't change this woman's vulgarity, uncultured, unscrupulous, and stinking of money.
Fortunately, after Emperor Le Chengdi ascended the throne, he compensated him greatly. His two concubines were both beautiful and well-educated, so he turned from a poor little boy to a real prince. He also changed his title to "Prince Loyal", which was much better than other brothers who were much better than him. The only flaw was that the princess couldn't be changed. After all, in order to support the current emperor, Princess Loyal's family almost spent all their wealth.
After the legitimate son was born, Emperor Le Chengdi directly conferred him the title of Heir of Crown Prince. After that, no matter how much he disliked his son, his son's status was unshakable. His princess also took advantage of this and made him suffer a lot. She often acted like a shrew.
Originally, after so many years, his princess was a little presentable. As long as she sat properly and spoke as little as possible, those who didn't know her would also praise her for her dignified bearing.
Unfortunately, once she opened her mouth, she would definitely expose herself and make him lose face. Now that his son had an accident, how could he expect her to be "normal"? After being stunned by Prince Loyal's roar, she simply sat down and began to make a scene. "My son, my son, you died so miserably. Your Majesty, you have to uphold justice for me …"
Even though Great Elder Princess knew the temperament of the Princess Consort, she was still stunned by her words and then her face darkened. "Come on, block her mouth for me."
Although this place was far enough from the "Flower Banquet", with her loud voice, it was possible that her words were heard by those people.
Two maids came forward, but they still couldn't stop her. Great Elder Princess's face darkened. Ignoring Prince Loyal, she directly called over two guards who helped to find Princess Loyal, grabbed her arms, and directly pressed her to the ground.
Prince Loyal watched, but he was indifferent. He even faintly felt relieved in his heart.
The loyal princess was still struggling and glaring at Great Elder Princess.
Great Elder Princess gave a stern look and signaled the guards to catch her. Before the princess could stand still, Great Elder Princess slapped her and said, "Do you think you can be so arrogant because of the little help your family gave to my brother? Letting you sit in the position of the Princess Consort and letting your son be the Crown Prince for so many years is already a great favor. These years, you have been causing a lot of trouble. No matter how much affection you have, there is no more affection. Even if your son really dies, it will be because of you. Let my brother uphold justice for you. Okay, then let's see how my brother upholds justice for you. Tie her up directly for me. "
It was a black history that Le Chengdi let his younger brother marry a merchant's daughter for money. However, he was also a benevolent emperor who didn't burn the bridge after crossing the river. In order to erase the black history, he cut the weeds and dug out the roots. He also gave a lot of rewards. More importantly, he hoped that they would shut up and behave themselves so that some things would be forgotten with time. However, Princess Loyal was never smart and made a lot of trouble. At first, Le Chengdi asked the Empress to see her. After the Empress became completely impatient, she was forever rejected out of the palace. She still didn't realize that things had changed.
This time, if her son was really dead, she would definitely make a big fuss. This matter would certainly be impossible to hide. Prince Jin was framed, Sun Yijia's reputation was damaged, and the Luo Family would also be implicated. Moreover, it happened in Great Elder Princess's Mansion, so she couldn't get away with it. Maybe this shrew also dug out what happened that year and made it known to everyone. Le Chengdi would be greatly disgraced. It was one thing that Li Hongyuan disgraced Le Chengdi again and again, and everyone was used to it. Let others have a try …
"Your Highness, we found him under the rockery over there." The head of the guards in the mansion came to report in a hurry.
Great Elder Princess only needed to look at his face to know that as she guessed, Prince Jin was probably dead. She glanced at Prince Zhong and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for your loss."
Prince Zhong was much calmer than expected. Instead, he was flattered by Great Elder Princess's call of "brother". Although they had the same father, Great Elder Princess used to ignore him most of the time. Occasionally, she would call him by his full name. Later, when Le Chengdi ascended the throne, she had been calling him "Prince Zhong". Suddenly, she called him "brother", wasn't it …
Great Elder Princess didn't wait for his response and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The leader of the guards wanted to stop her because a dead person was unlucky. However, he thought that Great Elder Princess was not exactly as the rumors said. Judging from her look, it might not be the first time that she had seen a dead person, so he followed her silently.
Prince Zhong also followed, but Princess Zhong was tied up and thrown aside like a pig.
As expected, the fat Princely Heir of Prince Zhong was lying in the hollow under the rockery, blocked by a cluster of flowers and trees.
"How did he die?" Great Elder Princess looked at him indifferently and asked calmly.
"His throat was cut. It was not fatal. But he might have been drugged, so he didn't resist." The head of the guards replied.
Great Elder Princess looked at the neck, which was thicker than the waist of ordinary people. With such thick flesh, it was impossible to kill him with a single cut. "Did you find anything else?"
"No. Even the footprints on the ground were cleaned."
"Where are the two servants of Princely Heir of Prince Zhong?"
"I haven't found them yet, but I guess they were killed as well."
Great Elder Princess nodded. According to the result of the interrogation of the maid, it could be known that the two manservants left after Princely Heir of Prince Zhongqin, but the interval was very short. It was impossible that they couldn't see their master after coming out. So, they must have been killed together.
Sure enough, before long, the bodies of the two servants were found in another cluster of flowers.
Obviously, the three servants didn't die in the hands of the same person.
Then, now, the clues were completely broken. According to the meticulousness of the person behind this, it was difficult to find out who he was. However, they were dead, and they had to give an explanation.
"Brother, your Princely Heir of Prince Zhong was immoral in my mansion, so you quarreled with your sister-in-law. She was so angry that she wanted to kill you. Your Princely Heir intended to stop her, but he was accidentally injured and died." Great Elder Princess said to Prince Zhong.
Prince Zhong's heart trembled, and he immediately showed a look of resentment and grief. "That shrew is increasingly arrogant and domineering. This time, she even tried to kill her husband. My son was killed because of this. It's, it's …"
Great Elder Princess nodded with satisfaction. "My sister-in-law is so immoral and killed people. Naturally, she doesn't deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family. You have suffered a lot these years. I'll ask my brother to choose a young, beautiful, gentle and well-educated new princess for you."
With such an understatement, this matter was decided. The most innocent person was probably the loyal Princess Consort. But, was she really innocent? If she had taught her son well and knew how to restrain himself, he wouldn't have …
The real culprit behind this must be found out. Such a cruel person should be severely punished.
Li Hongyuan and the others had already returned to their original seats. Although they left separately one after another and didn't show too much expression when they left, it was inevitable that they would attract attention because of their noble status. For a time, all kinds of speculations came one after another.
But they didn't say anything, so no one dared to ask anything.
Because Sun Yijia had to bathe, change clothes, dry her hair and dress up, it naturally took a long time. When they appeared, Great Elder Princess had even taken a seat before them.
And Li Ruyu also returned to her mother. She had no choice. Few girls of high status were willing to stay with her, and she didn't want to be with those of low status. When she saw Jingwan and the others appear, her eyes were full of poison.
As for Luo Jingying, she didn't see anyone as expected.
When passing by a group of noble ladies, Jingwan accidentally glanced at a round red dot on a maid's embroidered shoes. It was as red as blood and so uncoordinated. What kind of hobby was this? But Jingwan just glanced at it and then let it go.
"Sister Luo, you're finally back. Why did you take so long?" Yu Yao trotted up and pulled Jingwan's clothes.
"Aiya, Old Master Yu Yao, don't you know that us girls are very troublesome?" Jing Wan winked at her.
Yu Yao looked confused and didn't know why, but the others couldn't help laughing. No matter a girl or a married woman, some things were very troublesome.
Great Elder Princess summoned Jingwan and Sun Yijia to the front and held Jingwan's hand first. Her ten fingers were all bandaged, so the specific injuries couldn't be seen. "You're just a girl who likes to show off. If the zither is not good, you can change it."
Jingwan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I can't play it so well with another zither. I was shocked."
"You're praising yourself. Don't you feel ashamed?" Great Elder Princess pointed at her.
"Your humble servant is not boasting. Your humble servant has never been able to play that song in its entirety before."
Great Elder Princess nodded and said, "It's really difficult, not to mention that some people can't get into that state in their whole life. Do you know Elder Jiang, who is known as the zither addict? "
Jingwan nodded.
"He exchanged the zither score with your grandfather before and even gave up a centuries-old white peony in the old house of the Jiang Family. Yu Yao's father was very distressed. If he didn't know that you gave him a centuries-old white peony, he would have made a scene." Great Elder Princess couldn't help laughing.
Jingwan was surprised. A centuries-old white peony was very attractive to Jingwan. However, she said, "The zither score is not mine. Since Elder Jiang likes it, I can make a copy and give it to him. I don't need to exchange it." Actually, she learned it from her grandma in her previous life. Originally, she didn't want to take it out, but she was forced to fight back fiercely. Otherwise, people would think that she was a good person. Since he had already played it once in public, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.
"That's what they exchanged. We don't care. You just need to give the zither score to your grandfather. But why hasn't such a good song been released yet? "
Jingwan hesitated for a moment. If she were to tell a lie, she would need to cover it up in a hurry. Not to mention how tiring it would be, she might not even be able to pull it off. "It's an ancient zither song."
"Then it's no wonder. It must have been lost before it could spread. Now that it's in your hands and reappeared in the light of day through your hands, it's your luck, and also the blessing of that song. What's the name of the song? "
"Ambush on Ten Sides. It was originally a pipa song."
Great Elder Princess was stunned. "Ambush on Ten Sides? Pipa song? No wonder. No wonder. It should be like this. It should be like this. In the war between Khan and Chu, King Chu won. Someone used a pipa song to depict the majesty of the victorious master, who was full of majesty and austere, and named it Ambush on Ten Sides. But it was said that the master was persecuted by the defeated army, and the song was lost. It's not that no one has found it, but it's said that he once had a servant who fled to the area of Qi 'an Prefecture. Now it seems that the song was most likely taken away by the servant. "
Jingwan was speechless. It turned out that there was such a similar history here. Then she didn't need to make up a story. "So there is such a history?" She replied dryly.
"Since you know that it was originally a pipa song, do you still have the original score?"
"The original score was seriously damaged. At that time, I was still young and didn't know its value. When I saw that the paper was so damaged that I couldn't even pick it up …"
Great Elder Princess sighed. "What a pity."
"… But I was learning to read at that time. When I saw the strange shape on the paper, I copied it down." Jingwan smiled mischievously.
Great Elder Princess was slightly stunned and then burst into laughter. "You deserve to be beaten."
In fact, Jingwan's words were not completely groundless. When she was a child, she looked for a lot of books in a mess. Madame Luo also knew that she liked to copy some strange things, so she didn't ask her too much. Moreover, it was said that she copied it, not the original. Naturally, no one deliberately looked for her to see if she really copied such a thing.
"I don't know who adapted it into a zither song, but it is also very good. When your hand recovers, you can write down both scores." As for why she didn't show it to the teacher when she was learning the zither, it was probably that the little girl had realized the preciousness of the score and knew to hide it. Or she forgot it and then accidentally found it later.
Look, Jingwan didn't need to make up these things. Others had already imagined it for her.
Ninety-nine steps had been taken. Naturally, the last step would not be missed. Jingwan agreed.
Great Elder Princess looked at Sun Yijia again. "You have to be careful in the future. Today, if it weren't for …" At this point, she immediately stopped, but it was enough to let others' imagination run wild.
Sun Yijia was a little embarrassed and said "Yes" in a low voice.
Some people couldn't help but be curious and had already asked. However, they were all directly dismissed by Great Elder Princess.
Unable to get the answer, they couldn't help but look at Sun Yijia with inquiring eyes. After a closer look, they found some clues. It seemed that she didn't wear the same clothes before. Had she changed? And one of the hairpins on her head seemed to be missing? No one would believe that nothing had happened since she came back after such a long time!
On the other side, Ruan Fangfei seemed to be staring at Sun Yijia in a daze. A Commandery Princess beside her noticed it. Thinking of the relationship between them, she came to her ear and whispered, "Although she is the legal wife and you are the concubine, she is disfigured. How can she compete with you? I'm afraid that Prince Jin won't even touch her. In the future, you will have the final say in Prince Jin's Mansion. "
Ruan Fangfei blushed and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. After all, she is the legal wife." After saying that, she seemed to be a little lonely.
Seeing her like this, as a good friend of hers, she felt very distressed and felt very unfair for her. "His Majesty is really too much. Not only did he bestow you to marry Prince Jin, he even …"
"Shut up. If others hear it …"
The Commandery Princess curled her lips and didn't dare to continue. "Only you have such a temper."
Yes, she didn't have a good temper. Because of his good nature, in order to prevent Sun Yijia from suffering, he even gave her a special medicine for women. As long as she took a whiff, she would feel weak and light up. Unfortunately, that pig was too stupid. She was already in such a state, but she still managed to escape. She didn't drown to death, but was saved by someone. However, even if she felt a little regretful, it didn't matter. She just took it that she wasn't destined to die, as long as she didn't stand in her way.
A maid hurried to Great Elder Princess's side and whispered something in her ear.
Great Elder Princess's face suddenly changed. It was many times worse than the last time when she left the banquet. She left in a hurry. At the same time, they seemed to faintly hear crying from the other side of the lake.
This commotion wasn't ordinary. What exactly was going on?
However, before they could listen carefully, there was no sound.
After all, it was too serious. Even if Great Elder Princess wanted to hide it, she couldn't.
Princely Heir of Prince Zhongqin took a maid of Great Elder Princess's Mansion and wanted to do something improper. It was reported to Great Elder Princess, so Great Elder Princess went to have a look. As for the other people who were alarmed, it was because of another thing that happened. Only Prince Zhongqin, his wife, and Great Elder Princess didn't return. Great Elder Princess couldn't mediate, so she simply didn't care. However, she didn't expect that soon after she left, someone died.
Princely Heir of Prince Zhongqin was dead … This, this, this, this, this Princess Zhongqin was too, too, too, too …
As for the other thing, there was a little trace. The legitimate daughter of Duke Ding went to find the third daughter of the Luo Family and accidentally fell into the water. She was saved by the third son of the Luo Family who happened to go to see his sister. Haha, this was really …
Jingwan and Sun Yijia looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. As clever people, they naturally guessed what was going on. They didn't expect that the behind-the-scenes person was so vicious that she directly killed the witness. Now, it was nothing more than the result of Great Elder Princess's arrangement. She wanted to divide one thing into two things.
However, they didn't quite understand why Princess Zhongqin was used as a scapegoat. Sun Yijia more or less knew the temperament of Princess Zhongqin. She didn't know whether this factor was in it, but it was definitely not so simple.
As for the male guests, as the previous participants, they were well aware of it. However, even if they knew the truth, they wouldn't be stupid enough to say it out.
It should be said that the prince consort didn't go before, but Great Elder Princess sent someone to tell him the whole story. He hated people like Princely Heir of Prince Zhongqin the most. As for Princess Zhongqin, he didn't care about her at all since he didn't know her. He had no objection to Great Elder Princess's punishment at all.
"It's quite lively today. One wave has yet to subside, and another wave has come," Li Hongyuan said casually. At the moment when he knew that Princely Heir of Prince Zhongqin was dead, Li Hongyuan was not surprised at all. This was his usual style.
However, others didn't dare to say anything. Who knew if he was angry at this moment? Even if he didn't like Sun Yijia, she was his fiancée after all. She was carried out of the water by another man. Any man would care about it, right? However, who knew if he treated Sun Yijia the same as those women before? How straightforward he was to give those beauties away!
Therefore, it was really hard to tell whether he cared about it or not.
"Duke Ding, when you marry your daughter, don't forget to invite me to the wedding banquet. After all, she is my seventh fiancée. The previous six fiancées didn't have this blessing. Maybe after I drink her wedding banquet, I can drink my own wedding banquet next time." Li Hongyuan's voice was flat. His words should be regarded as self-mockery, but it made people feel gloomy.
How would Duke Ding respond to him? Good or bad?
Luo Peishan stroked his beard and said, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can come to the Luo Family for the wedding banquet."
Li Hongyuan clicked his tongue, "It's still you, this old man, who is more straightforward."
Well, the main character had admitted it. It seemed that there was no need to guess.
However, it seemed that the marriage between Duke Ding and the Luo Family didn't need to be specifically asked for his opinion.
Moreover, if the two families were married, did it mean that the Luo Family would lean towards the Empress and Prince Kang?
This kind of "big news", under the manipulation of some people, also spread among the female guests. The way they looked at Sun Yijia changed again. There was no lack of busybodies who thought that Sun Yijia didn't want to marry Prince Jin and deliberately put on such a show. As for why she chose Luo San Gongzi, wasn't he her good sister's brother? It would be easier for him to accept her.
It must be said that when she was ridiculed for her disfigurement, she didn't react. Now, she was a little flustered. Therefore, this was the difference between caring and not caring. Because she cared about Luo Jingbo, she hoped that in his heart, she was a perfect girl and not as unbearable as these people said.
Jingwan lightly patted her back, "Don't mind it."
Sun Yijia subconsciously relaxed a little.
However, the junzhu beside Ruan Fangfei sneered, "She has a good life, but this is also good. No one will fight with you. Maybe Prince Jin will directly marry you and let you be his wangfei. Ai, don't. It's better to be a cefei. Prince Jin's fate is too hard. What if he jinxes you again? Although a cefei's status is a bit worse, there won't be any danger of jinxing you. There's also no need to worry about someone pressing down on your head. "
This junzhu naturally didn't notice that when she said these words, in the first half, Ruan Fangfei was still smiling sincerely. In the second half, it was as if there was an evil spirit condensing in the depths of her eyes, ready to crawl out and devour people at any time. "Zhengfei or cefei, this needs to be decided by the Emperor."
"Fangfei, why don't you also imitate that person?" The junzhu leaned over to Ruan Fangfei's ear and looked at Sun Yijia.
The evil spirit in Ruan Fangfei's eyes was ready to move. She finally entered Prince Jin's wangfu with great difficulty and became the woman of the man she admired. To let her give up, do you want to die? She gently opened her mouth and said: "I can't. I can't frame my father for injustice. Besides, she hurt her face. Prince Jin might not care and let go so easily, but I might not. "
The junzhu nodded. She didn't feel that Ruan Fangfei was narcissistic, but felt that her words were very correct. She didn't notice that Ruan Fangfei was indirectly saying that this matter was indeed caused by Sun Yijia herself.
— — She couldn't smoothly marry someone else.
However, there were also people who felt that this matter wasn't right. For example, Li Ru Yu. It seemed that what she encountered didn't match up with the rumors. However, she was smart for once and didn't stupidly say it out loud. Instead, she leaned over and whispered it to her mother.
Princess Consort Cheng was so angry that she almost fainted because of this daughter. She even did such a thing behind her back. "If you don't want to die, swallow it back. Don't mention it to anyone. Don't mention it."
"But mother, that bitch …"
"Don't mention it! She now has the support of Great Elder Princess. Besides, you still dare to covet what Li Hongyuan asked for. How many lives do you have? " This one-track minded daughter clearly realized that something was wrong, but she still focused on other things. Really …
As soon as Li Hongyuan's name came out, Li Ru Yu was so scared that she shrank her neck and didn't dare to say anything.
"If the secret recipe is so good, it won't be leaked out after entering the palace. You will get it. "
"Really?" Li Ru Yu was a little surprised.
Princess Consort Cheng was also helpless. Because of this daughter, she was disliked everywhere. She had Ding General Manor and the Empress as her backers, but she was still bullied everywhere. Although Ru Yu was a little arrogant, she shouldn't be like this. Why did it get worse and worse? It seemed that it started from her daughter's clamor to marry Brother Lin. "Don't think about your Brother Lin in the future."
"Mother, what did you say?" Li Ru Yu suddenly raised her voice, which attracted the attention of the people around.
Princess Consort Cheng hurriedly covered her mouth. Facing the dissatisfied eyes of others, she could only bite the bullet and smile apologetically. "It's impossible between you and him. Just give up. If you don't want your position as a princess and want your father to be stripped of his title, then go ahead and make a scene. You'll probably be happy if you destroy our family."
Li Ru Yu was stunned. How could it be so serious? But her mother didn't seem to be lying. "Mother, it's not because of me, right? No …"
Princess Consort Cheng just glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
Li Ru Yu was scared. She was promoted to infanta because of her aunt, the Empress. If she lost her title, she would be like those bitches. No, she didn't want to be like this …
This time, Great Elder Princess came back quickly. Looking at her undulating chest, one could tell that she was very angry.
"Yuyao, where is your game? Go on." Great Elder Princess said coldly.
Well, as the birthday girl, it was reasonable that Great Elder Princess didn't want to be disbanded in such an unlucky way. They all shut up and stopped talking about these "disappointing things".
Great Elder Princess directly took a piece of wood and turned it over. It was Third Miss Luo. Then she smiled and said, "Oh, it's you again. Do you want to perform?"
"Great Elder Princess, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"
"What good ideas do you have? Just tell us. It's fun to get rid of the bad luck."
"We're just having fun here, yet we're letting them laugh at us." Jing Wan glanced at the male guests. "It's too unfair. We should let them make a fool of themselves so that we can have some fun too."
"That's a good idea. Servants, prepare the wood pieces and send them over there. Let the childes write their names on them. If they don't want to, don't force them. Tell them that if they do well today, I'll directly report their names to His Majesty. "
This time, most of them would be willing to do it.
The maids took the wood pieces, brushes, and ink, divided into several teams, and began to write together. It didn't take much time.
On the other side, under Jingwan's suggestion, they began to make a punishment program.
"Sister Luo, what good ideas do you have?" Yu Yao pulled Jingwan's clothes and was very excited.
Jingwan was all smiles, but everyone could tell that she was up to no good. "How about a green waist dance?"
Green waist? But suddenly, they thought that it was a punishment for the male guests. They looked at each other and imagined the scene. It seemed to be very interesting. Great Elder Princess was very happy and directly made the decision.
"Then, wear women's clothes?" This could be done.
"Appoint another childe to drink a jar of wine?" This could be done.
"A bowl of special drink." Then Jingwan calmly told them how to make it.
When Jingwan finished, they all stared at her in disbelief. It was too bad. Jingwan smiled. It was nothing. Because of many taboos, she didn't dare to say the really bad things.
Perhaps inspired by Jingwan, the others also came up with bad ideas one after another.
Because they were laughing so happily, the male guests were confused. Why did they feel a chill on their backs?
The male guests were basically done. "What about me?"
The maids looked at each other and then looked at Li Hongyuan. "Your Highness, that …"
"What? In your eyes, am I not a childe?"
They had to hand the things over with trembling hands. Li Hongyuan wrote his name quite elegantly.
Li Hongming suddenly smiled. "Why don't I have some fun? Although I've got a family, it shouldn't be a problem."
Therefore, with these two people taking the lead, the other princes, whether married or not, all joined in.
When the maids took the wood pieces back, their hands and feet were still a little trembling. After asking, they knew the reason. How should they play this time?
Great Elder Princess sent another maid. "Tell the content of the punishment to all the princes and princes. If you don't pass my words, you are a coward. Take the wood pieces back. If you don't, don't blame me for going to the palace to talk to His Majesty." Therefore, Great Elder Princess was the most domineering and powerful.
Even though he only sent the message to Le Chengdi's sons, the other young nobles all had a green expression. Unfortunately, Great Elder Princess didn't even give them a chance to be cowards.
In contrast, Li Hongyuan became the most leisurely one.
The game began.
But the wooden pieces were put in cloth bags. They shook them first and then reached in to take one.
Instead of the nobles taking the wood pieces, the girls took them one by one.
Those princesses and infanta had been eager to have a try. There was no such fun in the palace, so they naturally didn't hesitate at this time.
The first one to take out the wood piece was a chubby boy of eleven or twelve years old. When the news spread to the male guests, they roared with laughter.
The chubby boy walked to the female guests' seats with a sad face. "I don't know how to do anything. Just punish me directly."
Everyone was overjoyed. Great Elder Princess also waved her hand and agreed.
The chubby boy probably thought that it was the same anyway. He had made a fool of himself in daily life. So, he casually grabbed a pouch of punishment and then waited for the "judgment of fate".
After the little maid opened it and saw it, she covered her mouth and laughed. "Master, you have to eat four drumsticks."
The chubby boy was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up. "Really four drumsticks?"
"Oh, oh, for a fat boy like you, it's not a punishment at all." Great Elder Princess laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up. "Your family usually doesn't allow you to eat more. Today, I decide to give you two more drumsticks."
This time, Little Fatty was overjoyed. Then, he carried his six drumsticks and went back happily.
When the men in the male guests' seats saw the chubby boy, whose eyes were narrowed into slits with laughter, eating while walking, the corners of their mouths twitched. Of course, there were also those old adults who looked at him happily. Oh, it was a blessing to be able to eat.
Only the chubby boy's grandfather, who was indeed a blessing to be able to eat eight meals a day, was still full like a bottomless pit. If he continued to eat like this, he would not be worried that the family would be poor. Instead, they were worried that he would become the second Princely Heir of the Loyal Prince. Bah, he would be a dead man now. But now they couldn't stop him from eating!
"This boy is lucky. For others, a few drumsticks are definitely a punishment, but for him, it's a great benefit."
Before they finished talking, the second person had been taken out.
Even if they looked calm, they were still a little uneasy. There was no other way. Even if they were talented people, they were not omniscient and omnipotent. If they picked something that they didn't know how to do, they would still be punished.
Who was the second unlucky guy or the lucky one?
"Sun Yilin."
In fact, Sun Yilin and Luo Jingbo had just returned not long ago. Naturally, after such a long time, they wouldn't be talking about Sun Yijia. It could be said that the two of them had written their names on the piece of wood without knowing what was going on. Sun Yilin could only shake his head helplessly when he found out what was going on, but Luo Jingbo didn't seem to care.
Sun Yilin didn't expect that he would be picked so soon.
Everyone looked at the famous Young Master Lin in the capital. Speaking of which, the probability of him being punished shouldn't be high. However, there were more people who wanted to see him make a fool of himself. It wasn't entirely out of malice, but purely because they wanted to see how this young master would look like when he made a fool of himself.
Seeing Sun Yilin appear, the girls in the female guests' seats were a little excited. This was known as a peerless gentleman. He seemed to be proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and singing. It was not easy to see him displaying his talent in public. It was definitely a great enjoyment. However, they wanted to see him being punished even more. What should they do?
Even Sun Yijia was whispering in Jingwan's ear. She was also a person who wanted to see the world in chaos.
"Great Elder Princess, I think the girls all want to see our Young Master Lin being punished. Why don't we punish him directly?" A princess of the same generation as Great Elder Princess joked.
Sun Yilin repeatedly bowed and begged for mercy. "Please be merciful."
"It's not up to us whether we can be merciful or not. It depends on your luck. Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and pick."
Sun Yilin had to pick a purse.
The maid opened it and said, "Master, it's archery."
Sun Yilin obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not as good at archery as other skills, he was not weak after all.
"Young Master Lin, don't be happy too early. Archery is not as simple as ordinary targets. If you don't do it well, you will also be punished." A princess smiled and "kindly" reminded him.
Although Sun Yilin had been mentally prepared, he was still a little scared.
The selection of bows was relatively large, and there was no fixed rule. He took the bow and went to the flowerbed.
Then, a group of "fully armed" kittens and puppies were brought out. A red or green fruit was fixed on the head of each of them, and they were encircled in a certain range on the shore. The requirement was that he had to shoot all the green fruits within half an hour. Any arrow that hit a small animal would fail.
There were only three green fruits. Logically speaking, it was not difficult. But Sun Yilin looked at the arrows that had been treated in order not to hurt the small animals, and the little thing that ran away as soon as he let go. It seemed that God wanted him to die today.
