Ninth Princess' lips were filled with the smell of alcohol, her face was flushed with alcohol, and her eyes were filled with water, as if she was about to lose her composure.
Li Weiyang heard her words clearly, and after a moment of recovery, she couldn't help but frown.
She turned around and told the girl next to her, "Go and tell your princess, just say that the ninth princess is too drunk and needs a place to rest."
As soon as the girl saw the situation, she ran away immediately.
The Ninth Princess stood up unsteadily.
Li Weiyang was afraid that she would do something drastic at the banquet, so he quickly stood up and supported her.
But she just suddenly had tears streaming down her cheeks and quietly stopped saying a word.
A young lady next to me exclaimed: "Why is the Ninth Princess crying?"
Li Weiyang looked calm and said: "The princess heard that the victims were displaced, homeless, and hungry.
She felt uncomfortable and couldn't bear it."
Those people looked at the Ninth Princess in disbelief.
They really didn't believe that she was crying for such a reason.
However, seeing the cold look on Li Weiyang's face, they all looked at each other and did not dare to say a word.
I heard that His Majesty is planning to marry the princess to the Zhang family of the Duke of Luo Kingdom.
At that moment, someone whispered: "I heard that the Ninth Princess was unwilling to marry and knelt alone at the gate of Concubine Rou's Palace for a long time."
"Ah, isn't she childhood sweetheart with that guy?
Why doesn't she want to get married?"
"Hush, who knew that Concubine Rou loved her so much that she even locked her up in the palace for three days and three nights?"
There were gossips in her ears, but Li Weiyang turned a deaf ear and just watched her cry quietly, feeling how sad she was.
How could she live with the man she admired so much, but he had never been moved by her?
But Li Weiyang felt that it was okay not to be loved, the key was to love yourself.
If you don't even cherish yourself, why would you call someone to come?
I love you.
So, let her have some sympathy for the Ninth Princess, but she really has no such mood.
At this time, Princess Tao, who was beside Princess Yongning, came in person and said with a smile: "I will take the princess back to her room."
However, the Ninth Princess held on to Li Weiyang, and Miss Tao looked at her in embarrassment.
Li Weiyang said: "I will also send her away."
It is really unwise to fight at the banquet like this.
Miss Tao nodded and called a girl serving the banquet to support the Ninth Princess.
She herself held a red gauze lantern to light the path for them, and said cautiously: "You two, be careful where you step."
The backyard of Princess Yongning's Mansion was quiet at night.
Li Weiyang didn't stop until she sent the Ninth Princess to the wing: "I should go back to the banquet."
Zhao Yue has been keeping watch from a distance, and it is obvious that she is not at ease at any time.
Ms.
Tao nodded and said: "Thank you so much, Lord Anping."
She was about to ask someone to help the Ninth Princess to go in.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Princess stood up all of a sudden and stared at Li Weiyang without saying a word.
It took a long time before she stepped forward.
He stepped forward and raised his hand to repel others: "You all go down, I have something to say to the county leader."
In this way, the Ninth Princess was pretending to be drunk.
Li Weiyang confirmed her suspicion, raised her lips slightly, and asked her: "Is the princess sober?"
A look of pleading appeared on the face of the Ninth Princess.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lady Tao ordered all the girls to retreat.
She said, "My slaves are guarding outside.
If you two have anything to say, please speak."

Miss Tao closed the door, and the Ninth Princess looked at Li Weiyang with extremely complicated eyes, and said: "Sister Weiyang, I have something to ask you."
Li Weiyang raised her eyebrows, wondering why this line was so familiar.
Does Ninth Princess think that asking for help will solve the problem?
The Ninth Princess's eyes wet and she said: "Sister Weiyang, please go and tell the concubine for me, don't let me marry that person, okay?
I know the concubine trusts you now, and she also said that you and I should learn more from each other."
Please, please, please.”
Indeed, Li Weiyang and Concubine Rou have become very close recently, but they are not as close as the Ninth Princess thought, but they just help each other.
Li Weiyang looked at her, looked at the young princess, and said slowly: "This is not Concubine Rou's intention, this is His Majesty's intention, and I cannot influence Your Majesty."
When the Ninth Princess heard that it was useless to beg Concubine Rou, her eyes turned red again and she choked up: "According to this, do I really want to marry him?
But I don't like him at all."
As she said that, she picked up the Xiu wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, "If that's the case, then I might as well die."
Li Weiyang watched her cry quietly, but even the last bit of pity was gone in her heart.
In this world, countless people are busy trying to survive and enduring pain just to have one more mouthful of food.
But this princess in front of her is seeking death just because of an unsatisfactory marriage.
She is so naive that it makes people feel bored for no reason.
Besides, the person the emperor asked her to marry was the handsome young man she grew up with as her childhood sweetheart, and he was not a life-threatening king of hell.
If she didn't want to, she would have to fight for it with all her strength from the emperor.
Even if she failed, it would be considered a fight for herself, but she just The gaffe at the banquet and the crying now are all so inappropriate.
The Ninth Princess suddenly raised her eyes, "Sister Weiyang, there is another way.
If you are willing to help me, this matter can be resolved."
Li Weiyang was stunned and frowned slightly.
A spark ignited in the eyes of the Ninth Princess, and she added: "I know that the third young master trusts you the most.
As long as you let him take me away, he will definitely listen to you."
She looked calm, but only she knew It was so difficult to say this.
In the end, even the sound seemed to have fallen into the light dust on the ground, so low that it was difficult to hear clearly.
Because she herself knows how rude this request is.
Li Weiyang's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
She was quiet for a while before speaking: "He won't take you away."
The Ninth Princess did not expect her to refuse so quickly and was almost speechless.
Li Weiyang said word by word: "If he likes you, he will naturally be willing to marry you, and I don't need to ask.
But he doesn't like you, but you want me to force him.
Your dignity as a princess has fallen to this to the point?”
The Ninth Princess turned pale for a moment, and opened her mouth as if to speak, but hesitated.
Her face was red and white, and she said in a trembling voice: "I, I thought, I thought you wouldn't say that to me.
Why did you say the same thing to my mother and concubine?"
words" Li Weiyang shook her head gently, "Because you don't remember your identity.
You are a princess and His Majesty's daughter.
Over the years, has His Majesty ever forced you to do something you didn't want to do?
Why did he marry you against your will?"
Duke Luo's Mansion, do you understand?
What kind of family is the Duke of Guo, and what kind of relationship do they have with the Seventh Prince?
In theory, they have a very personal relationship with you and the Seventh Prince, but only through marriage can the relationship be more stable and His Majesty can rest assured.
Give more military power to Luo Guogong."
The Ninth Princess listened carefully, her face turned even paler, and after a long time she said: "They all treat me as a tool."
Li Weiyang smiled, but there was indifference in the smile: "It can be used as a tool to show that you are valuable.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
No one cares about people who are worthless.
Including me standing here talking now, it is also because of your identity as the ninth princess.
If you don't know this, you will You can give up this identity, take off these fine clothes, go to the street and take a look, and see if a beautiful little girl like you can safely walk 300 meters away without the protection of the guards, and see if she can go out without the protection of the guards.
Life, will you starve to death on the street like those disaster victims?"
The Ninth Princess remained silent, her long eyelashes slightly drooped and trembling slightly, as if she was struggling in her heart.
"You should be happy that you are a princess, otherwise, with your nature alone, can you live safely to this day?
Even if you don't want your own life, will you drag Minde into wandering with you?"
Li Weiyang's voice was filled with emotion.
A hint of ruthlessness.
On the surface he was teaching her a lesson, but deep down there was a voice in his heart that told him repeatedly and decisively: Li Weiyang, you are so despicable.
You don't like Princess Ninth to be close to Li Minde, so you scare her like this.
You clearly know that Min De's identity is extraordinary, and even if the Ninth Princess follows him, she will still be well-dressed, well-fed, and have many servants.
You know clearly that the Ninth Princess is innocent and just a little girl, relying on her last glimmer of hope to beg you, but you scold her like this.
You have indeed helped the Ninth Princess a lot over the years, but she has also been protecting you everywhere.
You have obviously done so many evil things, but among the ladies in the court, who dares to look down on you?
The Ninth Princess will even argue with people and knock on your door for you.
You only know that Zhang Feng truly loves Princess Ninth.
Even if she doesn't love him now, she will definitely feel happy in the future.
But she is also a human being, not a tool without feelings.
Because you have no feelings yourself, you are jealous of the feelings she has.
Li Weiyang looked at the Ninth Princess, but in the end she just whispered: "Think about it for yourself, what should you do."
We have already walked halfway, how can we back down halfway?
She didn't want to make any excuses for herself, she just did it, and her purpose was frank.
She was despicable because she was not a noble person in the first place.
If you don't like something, you have to stop it, even if it hurts other people's hearts, even if you have to trample on other people's feelings.
If everything has to be made easy for others, then Li Weiyang will have a hard time.
Minde doesn't like the princess.
Instead of giving her indifferent hope, it is better to go too far and let her give up completely.
There is nothing wrong with doing this.
If you don’t embarrass the other party, you are embarrassing yourself.
Li Weiyang turned around and was about to leave, when Ninth Princess suddenly spoke: "Sister Weiyang, I'm sorry.
I was so out of control."
Li Weiyang did not look back.
Princess Ninth's eyes were bright and she pursed her lips, as if she had made a full determination before she said, "I am willing to marry him."
She paused in her words and lowered her voice, "Thank you."
Li Weiyang didn't speak and walked out.
There's nothing to thank you for, I'm not doing this for you at all.
With this thought in her mind, she walked out with an extremely indifferent expression and said to Official Tao outside: "The Ninth Princess needs to rest for a while, please don't go in and disturb her."
Official Tao nodded and said, "Please take the county master back to the banquet."
Li Weiyang nodded and followed Miss Tao back to the banquet.
At this moment, it was time for people to drink and drink.
Princess Yongning had already raised a lot of property, and it was rare to see a smile on her usually serious face.
Seeing Li Weiyang, he nodded to her from a distance.
Li Weiyang said to Miss Tao: "My grandmother is not feeling well and has asked me to bring the treasures to be donated.
I can't stay here for too long, so I will leave. " Official Tao nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord, I will report it to the princess.

Please wait a moment, Lord, and I will prepare a carriage for you."
When she came, Li Weiyang came in the Ninth Princess's carriage, so now she needs to arrange a new carriage when she goes back.
Li Weiyang did not refuse the other party's kindness, but smiled lightly and said: "Thank you very much."
She seemed helpless and glanced behind her at the liveliest place, and her eyes happened to collide with Princess Hechang's.
He Chang is a person who seems to have a cheerful personality.
Among a group of noble ladies, she perfectly plays the role of an exotic princess with a lively and cheerful temperament, innocence and kindness, and full of curiosity about everything.
In addition, when donating money, he is extremely generous, which seems to be generous and generous.
She not only makes people feel that she is very approachable, but also shows a kind of pride that only the royal family can have.
At that glance, Li Weiyang was sure that the other party was clearly looking at her.
She didn't wait long, Miss Tao quickly arranged the carriage.
Li Weiyang got on the carriage, and the Zhao Nan brothers and sisters escorted her all the way.
The carriage staggered out of Princess Yongning's Mansion and drove down the street.
Normally, this time would be when the night market was opening, but now, it was completely silent.
The night wind was mixed with the cold fragrance coming from nowhere, making her feel a little dazed.
The carriage passed over the bridge, and the river below flowed silently.
Li Weiyang raised the curtain of the carriage and saw the shadow of the moon reflected in the water waves under the bridge.
For so long, she felt out of place every time she attended a banquet.
Everyone is laughing, watching the singing and dancing, drinking and talking, and talking about street rumors they got from nowhere.
She was used to being alone.
Every time she went to a crowded place, although she was always smiling, she felt even more lonely.
What's the point of such excitement?
She thought to herself and sighed softly.
The wind blew the curtains, the wheels of the carriage creaked, and it stopped.
Zhao Nan said from outside the car curtain: "Miss, someone asked the carriage to stop."
Zhao Yue opened the curtain, and Li Weiyang saw clearly the beautiful girl riding a horse outside the carriage.
She was holding a long whip and looking at her with a smile.
Sure enough, Princess He Chang heard that she had broken one of her ribs before, but now it seems that her resilience is amazing, or her endurance is amazing.
Li Weiyang looked at her silently, and there was not even a follower behind He Chang.
She came with her on horseback, alone.
At this moment, she got off the horse neatly and said with a smile on her face: "County Lord, can you step aside to speak?"
Li Weiyang smiled and took the initiative to get out of the carriage.
The two walked to the bridge, the night wind blew across the lake, and there were countless ripples in the lake.
He Chang took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Li Weiyang.
Li Weiyang reached out to take it, opened the lid, and was surprised when he saw clearly what was inside the box.
Inside the box was a piece of crystal-white phoenix jade pendant, which glowed faintly under the moonlight and was very eye-catching.
"This is Fengyu."
Princess Hechang explained, "Father gave it to the fourth brother and asked him to give it to the future fourth prince's concubine, no, I should say, the future Queen of Mobei."
It turned out that Li Yuanheng was already the unofficial next emperor of Mobei.
Li Weiyang smiled, and his guess was indeed correct.
Then this person is really too bold to come here.
"There is only one piece of this phoenix jade in the world.
I don't know how many people have fought for it.
And for thousands of years, it has only been passed down to the queen of Mobei.
What does it mean for my fourth brother to give this phoenix jade as a gift?
The county master understands "Princess He Chang asked.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li Weiyang just looked at her quietly, seemingly confused.
Princess He Chang smiled and said: "Fourth brother has four concubines, but he has not yet married his wife.
This is because he has been searching for a long time but has not found a woman he feels is qualified.
But he has been observing you for a long time, and he feels that you Not only are you smart and capable, but you are also calm and rational, and your actions are in line with his wishes, so he feels that this Fengyu is the most suitable one for you. " "Your Majesty has given a bride to the fourth prince of Mobei."
Li Weiyang answered this way, his tone was not very happy, and there was no excitement at all.
Therefore, there was a trace of surprise in Princess He Chang's eyes, but she quickly smiled and said: "That's you Emperor of Dali, we are If you don’t admit it, we have already learned about the so-called bride.
She is just a weak-tempered boudoir lady.
I dare say that she will never live for more than half a year in the palace in Mobei.
The fourth brother will not be satisfied with marrying such a vase.
Yes, the person he wants is you."
A trace of displeasure flashed across Li Weiyang's face, but it quickly disappeared and he smiled: "Princess, this Phoenix Jade Pendant is of such great significance, forgive me for not accepting it."
He Chang smiled and said: "Li Weiyang, if you stay in Dali, what will you do?
You just buried your intelligence and talents like those incompetent women at the banquet just now, but when you arrive in Mobei, you can Do everything you want to do, and you will become the most noble woman in Mobei in the future."
When she said the word "noblest", a trace of greed flashed in He Chang's eyes, but she hid this emotion.
Very good, there is still a smile on his face.
Becoming the most noble woman in Mobei, Li Weiyang sneered in her heart, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
"What price do I need to pay?"
Li Weiyang just smiled on his face.
She is indeed a smart woman.
Princess He Chang said sweetly: "What's the cost?
You know, my fourth brother still has many enemies.
They will try their best to cause trouble.
You may need to make some plans for your fourth brother."
Li Weiyang knew it was not that simple.
At least, Li Yuanheng must have reached some agreement with Jiang Hua to insist on her.
"It's that simple," she repeated slowly, "Is it just planning for the fourth prince?"
He Chang's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes became deeper, and he said slowly: "Of course it's not just that, but that's not the time to talk about this.
The most important thing you should do now is to decide on this bet, whether you bet or not."
He Chang obviously felt that this was irresistible to any woman.
Although marrying the future emperor of Mobei means countless dangers and battles, it also means countless wealth and power.
This is her lifelong pursuit, and she thought Li Weiyang could not refuse it.
Li Weiyang pursed her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You really think highly of me."
"A girl who can force the Jiang family into desperation really makes us have to take a high look."
In fact, if many of the things Li Weiyang did were not revealed by Jiang Hua, they would not waste so much time on On her body.
Such a smart and vicious woman is exactly what Li Yuanheng needs.
Princess Hechang rolled her hair and smiled charmingly: "Frankly speaking, it is really shocking that a girl like you dares to be the enemy of the entire Jiang family, but it is also extremely powerful.
I admire you very much and like you very much. , so, I really hope you can be my sister-in-law.”
Li Weiyang looked at her quietly without any reaction.
He Chang gave her a very friendly smile.
Li Weiyang looked at her, and then returned the box containing the Phoenix Jade Pendant to her.
Looking at He Chang's shocked expression, Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said: "Please tell the Fourth Highness that I need to think about it."
He Chang narrowed his eyes.
Is this the woman's reserve or a tactful rejection?
She couldn't figure out Li Weiyang's thoughts for a while.
Li Weiyang's attitude towards Li Yuanheng seemed to be intentional, but he was aloof.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Even Li Yuanheng was attracted by her.
Holding it up to the sky and falling to the ground for a while, what was originally only a three-point concern soon turned into a single-minded desire to get her.
It seems that Li Weiyang understands a man's mind very well.
The kite flew very high and far, but the string was always caught in her hand. inside.
Princess He Chang originally felt that Li Weiyang was the same kind of person as her, and she was desperately trying to climb up.
She would not refuse this tempting proposal.
The reason why she refused to marry before and even caused the incident at Jixiang Palace was because she was not sure of the value of the fourth prince of Mobei.
Now that she knew that he was the future emperor of Mobei, she would definitely agree.
But now, she is a little confused .
He Chang deliberately lowered his face and said: "Li Weiyang, don't toast or eat as a fine.
My fourth brother respects you.
If you do this again?"
Li Weiyang suddenly turned her head, stared at her, and said in a deep voice: "The princess has become angry so quickly."
He Chang was stunned involuntarily.
Li Weiyang said: "I just need time to think about it.
If the fourth prince doesn't have the patience and persistence, please ask him to go back early."
Li Yuanheng is an extremely persistent person, which can be seen just from the jewelry he delivers every day.
Those are all priceless.
Being so willing to spend money shows that he is bound to win her.
"Li Weiyang, Shen Shi, we will leave Kyoto in three days."
He Chang suddenly said behind her.
Li Weiyang's footsteps did not stop, but he simply said: "In three days, I will go up the mountain to pray for the victims.
I'm sorry that I can't see you off."
He Chang frowned and stared at Li Weiyang's carriage leaving.
She was confused for the first time, but soon, she laughed.
Li Weiyang, Li Weiyang, it's amazing to be a human being like you.
If you are really not interested in the position of Queen Mobei, why do you still tell me where you will go then?
The carriage returned all the way to Li's house.
Li Weiyang got off the carriage, turned around and told Zhao Yue to give a reward to the coachman of Princess Yongning's Mansion, and then went in.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.
Zhao Yue shouted excitedly: "It's the third young master" Li Weiyang stared not far away without blinking, and saw Li Minde's Pegasus galloping from the north.
He did not attend the banquet today, but at the banquet, Li Weiyang kept listening to the ladies from various families talking about his name.
Everyone knows that he is handsome, but he refuses to become an official no matter what.
He just doesn't know which woman will be able to win his heart and marry into the Li family in the future.
Li Weiyang certainly knew the reason why he refused to become an official.
At the moment, he just watched him approaching on horseback.
The brocade clothes shone in the night, but this was nothing compared to the bright and clear eyes and the face.
When Li Minde saw her, the smile on his face became extremely bright, which dazzled everyone here.
He reined in the horse for a moment, dismounted quickly, and then smiled again: "Did the banquet go well today?"
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Of course it went smoothly, and it couldn't be smoother."
She suddenly remembered the crying face of the Ninth Princess, and could not hesitate for a moment.
She smiled and said: "The marriage between the Ninth Princess and Zhang Feng has been decided. " Li Minde's expression was surprised for a moment, and then he said: "Does this have anything to do with your plan?"
Li Weiyang's steps stopped for a moment, and then she said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter."
She should have told him what the Ninth Princess was thinking, but now she felt it was not necessary, "Are you ready over there?"
Li Minde raised a smile and said, "Let's wait and see what happens in three days."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Li Weiyang nodded and said: "I hope they all like this generous gift."
Three days later, it was the tenth day of March, which was a good time to travel.
In the middle of the night, Li Weiyang had already washed and prepared, and entered the palace at dawn.
Today it was the Queen Mother who invited her to talk.
When they arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, the Ninth Princess was already there.
Seeing her coming, she just nodded and smiled at her, then turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, look, Sister Weiyang is here."
The Queen Mother smiled and waved: "Come, come here quickly."
She always admired Li Weiyang, and the Ninth Princess also liked her very much.
Today she wanted to choose some dowry items for the Ninth Princess, but Concubine Rou was unfortunately ill. , the queen was also very busy, and the ninth princess took the initiative to ask Li Weiyang to be a consultant.
Although this is against the rules, as long as the Queen Mother is happy, everything doesn't matter.
The Queen Mother nodded, and the eunuch in charge of the ceremony continued to read: "One bed with mink fur bedding, one bed with fox fur bedding, eight beds with python satin and shiny satin bedding, twelve pillows, one curtain, and one tent. , cover a tent with fifty taels of third-grade red gold, fifty taels of light gold, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand pieces of satin yarn, and two thousand pieces of woolen and green shuttle cloth."
The Ninth Princess was taken up early in the morning.
If her dowry should have been carefully scrutinized by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother let her choose some favorite things.
Such a grace had never happened before, so no matter how sleepy she was, she would not Be patient and listen with a smile on your face.
After reading for half an hour and only a quarter of it, the Queen Mother sighed, rubbed her temples and said, "It really gives me a headache, Weiyang, what do you think is inappropriate?"
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "The Queen Mother has carefully prepared it.
There is nothing inappropriate.
It's just that the Ninth Princess has always had her own ideas.
I'm afraid she has to see all the fabrics herself, so as not to avoid the old rules in the palace. dislike."
The Queen Mother nodded.
She did take out a lot of old materials from the warehouse this time.
Some of the colors were really not suitable for her to wear, and it was too expensive to reward others.
She might as well find another batch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
She nodded. , said: "That's it."
After saying that, he felt a headache and pressed his forehead.
Li Weiyang said carefully: "The Queen Mother's headache has not been cured yet?"
The Ninth Princess on the side quickly expressed concern: "Queen Mother, are you my granddaughter?
I really feel bad for having exhausted you because of my marriage."
It was all due to Concubine Rou's poor health, and the Queen was not the biological mother of the Ninth Princess.
She was too perfunctory about this matter.
The Queen Mother couldn't stand it, and instead took it into her own hands.
Just doing the dowry these days gave her a headache.
It was cracked.
She shook her head and said, "It's an old problem."
Li Weiyang said softly: "Weiyang dared to offer you a mint ointment, which may be useful."
The Queen Mother glanced at her, and there was a little warmth in her eyes: "It's hard for you to have intentions, but this is an old problem, the palace The imperial doctor also tried many methods but to no avail."
There was no trace of sadness on the pretty face of the Ninth Princess.
She glanced at the Queen Mother and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, just give it a try."
Then she took the initiative to walk up to Li Weiyang and took the bottle in her hand.
A small porcelain vase with a peony pattern.
When you open it and smell it, there is a sharp and refreshing smell of mint.
She dipped a little of it with her ring finger, went up and rubbed it gently for the Queen Mother, and whispered: "I have to give it a try."
After a long time, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief: "It is indeed very comfortable."
Li Weiyang smiled.
This mint ointment is different from the prescriptions used by ordinary doctors to treat headaches.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
In order to please the Queen Mother, she spent a lot of effort to get this secret recipe.
Now, of course it has miraculous effects.
"I heard my grandmother accidentally talk about this secret recipe for treating headaches.
I thought that the Queen Mother also suffered from headaches.
I took the risk and tried it.
It will be effective.
Even if it is ineffective, it will not be harmful to people's health."
The Queen Mother was indeed very happy, looking at Li Weiyang's expression becoming gentler: "It's hard for you to work so hard."
The atmosphere in the palace became more and more harmonious.
The Ninth Princess smiled and peeled the red orange herself and handed it to the Queen Mother piece by piece.
When it was time to eat, the Queen Mother specially said: "Weiyang, please stay and eat together."
This is an unprecedented honor.
Li Weiyang smiled and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
So, a dozen eunuchs set up two dining tables in the middle of the hall, and then put a square table together.
Then they placed bowls and plates with silver lids on the tables one by one.
The carved Taishi chair to the east of the dining table is naturally for the Queen Mother, and two smaller chairs are placed next to the dining table for her and the Ninth Princess.
A group of well-trained eunuchs began to prepare meals, and the smell of various delicacies began to float in the air.
The food here far exceeded the ostentation of the Li family during the New Year.
It was simply arranged during the special period.
The eunuch knelt on the ground and said, "The food is ready, please have a meal."
The Ninth Princess wanted to remind Li Weiyang of dining etiquette, fearing that she would make a fool of herself at the table or make some mistakes that would make the Queen Mother unhappy, but she did not expect that Li Weiyang accurately walked to the one where she should be sitting.
In front of the chair, he first kowtowed to the Queen Mother and thanked her, then stood aside and waited for the Queen Mother and the Ninth Princess to take their seats before sitting down.
While eating, the Ninth Princess stared at Li Weiyang with surprised eyes.
She was so surprised.
She didn't know why Li Weiyang behaved so skillfully and elegantly.
His dining manner was even more dignified than hers.
Such a manner cannot be trained overnight.
Not only the Ninth Princess, but also the Queen Mother looked at Li Weiyang twice and felt a little strange.
But no one asked, and the Queen Mother even felt that this was Li Weiyang's natural demeanor.
During the lunch, the hall was quiet, and even the always lively Ninth Princess did not dare to speak casually.
After lunch, Li Weiyang retreated to the screens at both ends of the hall with the Ninth Princess.
The eunuch brought mouthwash and hot hand towels for them to rinse their mouths and wipe their hands, and then brought up a small silver box with cardamom in it.
Let them hold it in their mouths with Susha, which on the one hand helps digestion and on the other hand can bring fragrance when talking.
The Ninth Princess quietly observed Li Weiyang and saw that her movements were elegant and noble, and her manners were dignified and generous.
She couldn't help but think that she had grown up in the palace and was already aware of these movements, but her movements and manners were definitely just step-by-step.
Even Concubine Rou They have all criticized her, saying that she does not care about learning the rules.
She also thinks that this is just a daily routine.
I'm used to it, there's nothing to learn from it, but looking at Li Weiyang's smooth movements today, she actually looks much more dignified and beautiful than her mother and concubine's daily behavior.
Even the old ladies who have been in the palace for many years may not be able to compare with her.
The doubts in her heart deepened, but she didn't even dare to ask in front of the Queen Mother.
At this time, a eunuch suddenly came in with a frightened look, knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother, Concubine Liu went to Puji Temple to offer incense today, but she was kidnapped on the way.
Now those female officials came back crying, and they were all at the gate of the palace.
It’s such a big falling out.”
Concubine Liu was a concubine that the late Emperor married into the palace in his later years.
Because she was very young when she entered the palace, she was not sensible and would not invite favors, and was not favored by the late Emperor.

Therefore, she had no children, but she always had a good relationship with the Queen Mother.
As for now, she is not old enough to sit in the palace all the time like the Queen Mother, so she regularly goes to Puji Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings every month, which can be regarded as a way to relax.
But I didn’t expect that someone would dare to kidnap the majestic concubine on the way.
The Queen Mother was horrified: "Who dares to do this in broad daylight?"
The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she said bitterly, "I really feel that my ambition is too bold."
As she said this, she felt that the headache that had just gotten better became more severe, and she could hardly even sit down.
Unable to sit still, the Ninth Princess quickly dipped her fingers into some mint ointment under the Queen Mother's nose and let her sniff it for a moment.
Only then did the Queen Mother feel relieved.
The ninth princess quickly reprimanded the eunuch: "Why don't you speak clearly?
What is going on?"
The eunuch hurriedly said: "The concubine came out of the palace.
Everything was fine.
Just when she went up the mountain, a group of bad guys rushed out for no apparent reason.
They beat people without any explanation and took the sedan away."
The Queen Mother took a breath and said in surprise: "This is a guard of honor in the palace.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
How can I be called?"
The Ninth Princess glanced at Li Weiyang, hiding the smile in her eyes, with a look of infinite guilt on her face, and said: "Queen Mother, it's all my fault.
In fact, I happened to meet the concubine when she left the palace today.
Seeing that she brought so many people with her, the honor guard It was also very luxurious, so she said that these were troubled times and it really shouldn't be so public.
The Dowager Empress believed deeply, so she ordered people to drive lightly and be simple, and not to make a big deal about it.
If the original situation was as it was, the gangster would never dare to do such a thing.
Come" The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "How can I blame you for keeping everything simple after the disaster, let alone going to worship Buddha or on official roads?
Who would have thought of such a thing?"
Her tone was serious, and immediately He said in a deep voice, "Does Your Majesty know?"
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is not feeling well today.
He has requested an audience with the imperial physician, but I dare not go and report it."
The Queen Mother frowned and said: "This matter cannot be made public.
Hurry up and go to Jing Zhaoyin with my instructions.
He will find Concubine Liu before dark within the deadline.
If not, come and see her."
"Yes" the eunuch hurriedly went.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was getting grayer, the Ninth Princess hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, Mrs.
Liu has always been kind.
God bless her, nothing serious will happen.
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
Misunderstanding, how could such a misunderstanding happen?
In the past hundred years since the beginning of the dynasty, nothing like this has ever happened.
A concubine in the harem has been kidnapped.
This concubine is still a concubine.
If the news spreads, people will laugh out loud.
So the Queen Mother, listen.
There was no relief at all on his face when he said this.
Concubine Liu was only fourteen years old when the late emperor passed away, and she had been well-maintained over the years.
She still looked charming.

I don’t know whether those inexplicable villains were seeking wealth or sex.
If something really happened, it would be I was afraid that she would really sacrifice her life to the late Emperor.
The Queen Mother's eyelids began to twitch.
She really couldn't imagine who would kidnap such an old lady.
Besides, she was going to offer incense and she didn't bring any gold or silver.
It was simply unbelievable what use she would have now.
But what should I do?
Don’t say that I can’t find it.
If I really find it, it will be a big trouble.
Li Weiyang glanced at Ninth Princess, lowered her eyes, and managed to hold back her smile.
She knew that Concubine Liu was indeed beautiful, with a slim figure.
She was tall and slender.
Although she had single eyelids, she had a pair of pink and phoenix eyes.
Although she was a concubine, she could not wear too fancy clothes, but she was always on point in dressing.
Show off in different ways without breaking the rules.
She was very young when the late emperor passed away, and later there were rumors that she had a close relationship with a certain prince.
If it were not for the protection of the Queen Mother, Mrs.
Liu would have been buried long ago, let alone being alive and well now. .
The truth of today's matter is that she first asked the Ninth Princess to find a way to change the ceremonial guard of Concubine Liu, and tried to make the arrangement as simple and ordinary as possible, making it look like a noble lady from an ordinary wealthy family going out, and then specially arranged an identical carriage.
Luan Jia, deliberately dangled in front of people's eyes.
As for how to make that person think that the two carriages are exactly the same, it depends on whether Zhao Yue, the girl accompanying the carriage, pretends to be presentable.
At this moment, the Queen Mother heard an ouch, but the female official next to her accidentally knocked over the tea cup.
The tea burned the Queen Mother's hand.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped the female official.
Naturally, the whole palace was shocked.
In the past ten years, the Queen Mother has never beaten a palace maid.
You must know that the master in the palace only punishes people and does not need to do it himself.
This shows how angry she is today.
The Ninth Princess quietly blinked at Li Weiyang, who had been watching her nose and heart, and fell silent.
Li Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, it depends on whether the next move goes smoothly to know whether the whole plan is successful or not.
Of course, the Queen Mother's troubles were not over.
When she was drinking tea, the eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Just now, the fourth prince of Mobei led his people to the north in a hurry.
As a result, he happened to encounter the prince returning from hunting and accidentally collided with him.
He stole the prince's carriage and horse, but refused to repay the favor.
As a result, he just kept heading north.
It was getting dark, and the guards under the prince could not see the identity of the other party.
Suddenly they heard a woman calling for help in the carriage.
They thought it was a gangster, so they rushed to kill him and snatched the girl.
In the carriage, I found that the concubine was sitting in it":
