Chapter 124 Chapter 125 Li

June 6, Chuhexiu, light body, old clothes.

The heat is three volts. After the summer solstice, it coincides with the light summer heat, and the whole land is as hot as a layer of skin. Even if you change into light clothes and walk a little on the street, you will feel sweaty, not to mention wearing layers of red robes. Just thinking about it makes your hair feel hot.

However, although the weather is hot, it is also a sensational day for the whole people. It is said that the sunshine on the sixth day of June is the most aura. As long as you take out the things at home to bask in the sun, you can naturally bring the aura back to the house.

Those who have not been lucky in the New Year will deliberately take out their clothes at home today and let the sun drive away all the bad luck, so that they can live the second half of the year in a refreshing and peaceful manner. If there is a field and land at home, people will dry grain, if there is a book at home, monks will dry scriptures, and old people will dry their birthday clothes. In short, it is to collect all the sunshine of this day, then bathe devoutly, wash away the bad luck and bad luck in the first half of the year, and pray that good luck will come in the second half of the year, or luck will always be there.

Looking at the fact that young man almost had to turn out all the things in the room and sun it, Shaohua only felt that the day was a little too poisonous. Not to mention bad luck, even his spirit was about to be sunburned. She deliberately asked people to move the teacher's chair under the eaves and leaned on the chair. Chu He shook the fan to send her wind, ate the watermelon that had been surging in the well, and listened to the lively laughter outside, and looked a little lazy.

Ling repeatedly told her not to go out of Biwuxuan. When Li Sijin got married, she was less than ten years old, so she could still join the fun with adults. Now that it's about to come, Ling told her not to show up in such a lively time. In fact, Shaohua doesn't want to move without Ling's advice. It's so pleasant for anyone to run out and stay in the room to eat fruit in such a hot weather.

More importantly, she managed to embroider most of her purse and was accidentally splashed with ink by herself. Although Chu He tried very hard to help her clean, she couldn't give away the dirty purse. She cried and stared at her purse for a day, but finally she was too lazy to finish, let alone pick up the needle and thread again.

"The second young lady is blessed."

Shaohua was concentrating on feeding the koi. Hearing that it was folded behind her, she slowly turned around and saw Zhou Yan walking in a lilac skirt. Since Li Sinian and the next day they got married, when the bride presented tea to her husband and parents, she met Zhou Yan once, and she sighed that she was really different as a bride. The joy, the charm and shyness between her eyebrows, and the affectionate veins of Li Sinian almost made her suspect that the person in front of her was the Houfu's wife who came to scold her.

"It turned out to be my second sister-in-law. Why are you free to come to me today?" Shaohua looked at Zhou Yan with a smile. When she heard the "second sister-in-law", her cheeks flew glowing and looked at her shyly and annoyedly. Shaohua couldn't help laughing: "Why is the second sister-in-law's face so red? Isn't it in the sun?"

"Good Li Shaohua, you joke that I'm getting more and more skilled, right?" Zhou Yan asked the maid to retreat, leaving her and Shaohua, and her tone had revealed her nature.

"How dare you? If I make fun of you, my second brother won't let me go." Shaohua laughed maliciously.

Although Mrs. Zhongyi was somewhat unhappy when Zhou Yan married to the Li family, when Li Sinian accompanied Zhou Yan back to the door. Mrs. Zhongyi praised everyone. The more she looked at this son-in-law, the more satisfied she became. I'm afraid she can't let the world know his good. What she was most satisfied with was Li Sinian's meticulous consideration for Zhou Yan, and he almost walked with her in the palm of his hand. Ling said that Li Sinian knows how to be a man. Which parents don't want their daughter to be loved by her husband after the door? Li Zhuoyue died young and Pang was weak. Zhou Yan's marriage is aggrieved. If Li Sinian doesn't treat her better, I'm afraid that it is possible for the loyal and righteous marquis to regret marriage.

But Li Sinian was chosen by Zhou Yan herself, and in their opinion, this son-in-law not only has a bright future, but also takes good care of his wife. Although his background is a little poor, he can still be promoted.

Zhou Yan curled her lips and regarded Shaohua's ridicule as jealousy. She knew that the more she refuted, the more she would be teased. Anyway, she knew her husband's kindness.

"Okay, I won't talk about you. Didn't the second brother accompany you today?" Shaohua asked curiously.

"You think your second brother is an idle nobleman. Naturally, he has something to do." The maintenance of her husband has reached the extreme, but when Zhou Yan reacted Shaohua's smile, the blush that had just faded appeared on her face again. She awkwardly diverted her attention, looked at Shaohua's waist and said in surprise, "This bag is well done. It's quite aura."

Shaohua immediately showed off proudly, "How's it going? Am I awesome?"

"Did you embroider it?" Zhou Yan obviously doesn't believe it.

"I embroidered this flower!" Shaohua said unconvincedly.

"I'm talking about this fish." Zhou Yan showed an expression of "no wonder it looks different".

Shaohua muttered, "Is my embroidery really so bad?" Shaohua didn't expect that Chuhe actually took out her dirty purse. The original ink stains that could not be washed were hidden by Chuhe with black thread, embroidered into two black-tailed koi with black spots on a white background, playing under the lotus leaves. Although the lotus flower looks far less than two-tailed koi, at least this purse is finished.

Zhou Yan nodded seriously, "Your embroidery skill is not a little worse than your skill of playing the pipa." Finally, when she saw Shaohua eating, Zhou Yan's heart was balanced. Suddenly, she put away her smile and asked seriously, "I just came from Taihe Garden and saw that Qi Niang was also there."

"It's not unusual. She often runs to Taihe Garden." Shaohua turned around and continued to feed the goldfish.

Zhou Yan walked over, looked at the koi fighting for food in the water, and whispered, "She didn't go to say hi, but was called by her grandfather to lecture." Shaohua's hand paused, raised his head, looked at Zhou Yan, and listened to her say, "Can you hear the sound of the piano all day long?"

"There is noise everywhere. How can I pay so much attention to it?" Shaohua didn't care. Seeing Zhou Yan squeezed her lips, she looked a little solemn and said curiously, "What's the matter? Did you hear the sound of the piano?"

"I didn't hear it, but someone else heard it." Zhou Yan shook her head. Just now, when I came from Taihe Garden, I heard that there was an order from the palace. At the end of the month, the eldest princess and the palace was going to entertain the daughter-in-law, and now she is selecting the daughter of the unmarried minister to enter the palace. The post has been sent, just at Taiheyuan.

"You won't choose me, will you?" Shaohua pointed to his nose incredulously.

Zhou Yan sighed and nodded: "It's not just you, maybe all three of you have to go to the palace."

Three people? Which three?" Shaohua was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, "Qi Niang is also going to the palace?"

"Yes, because hearing the sound of the piano is not someone else, but the eldest prince today." Zhou Yan looked at Shaohua exaggeratedly and opened her mouth to explain her melancholy, "I heard that the song she played that day was Queen Duanming's favorite song before her death, so the eldest prince stood outside Biwuxuan for a whole time. Now it is rumored outside that the women of the Li family are all good at playing the piano. At first, I thought they were talking about you, but later I learned that they were talking about Qi Niang.

"How could she know that song?" No, how did she know that the eldest prince would come? That's right. On such a hot day, even at night, it's still boring. Where did Jinhua come from leisure to play the piano elegantly? So it is also the eldest prince to let Qi Niang enter the palace?"

"I don't know about this, but I just saw that my grandfather's face was not good-looking. Maybe I don't want you to enter the palace. However, the decree has been issued, and you are praised as the talents of Zhong Lingyu. My grandfather was afraid that he couldn't refuse, so he called Qi Niang to ask questions. Zhou Yan didn't expect that the three Shaohua sisters in the palace would be the brides-in-law of the emperor's eldest daughter.

The last time he chose concubines for the second prince, Li Ge didn't want them to enter the palace to avoid causing trouble. This time, the imperial concubine took the first step and directly gave Yi Zhi, which caught them off guard, and there was no way to postpone it.

"What will happen when you enter the palace?" Shaohua asked.

"I have seen many noble people, and I may not be able to be independent in marriage in the future." Zhou Yan's words are on Shaohua's mind.

"Then I don't want to go to the palace." Shaohua shook his head decisively.

"This kind of thing can't be done by you, the daughter of the eldest princess and the second prince's own sister. This face is specially given to you. Of course, you are not the only three. The daughters of several ministers have been selected to enter the palace. Zhou Yan paused for a moment and suddenly thought of something, "I heard that the son is going to choose a step-concubine. I don't know if it has anything to do with letting you enter the palace."

"But the third sister has already given permission." Shaohua exclaimed.

Zhou Yan motioned her to keep her quiet. This was just her guess. She couldn't help but say angrily, "The vassal family hasn't decided yet. It's just a verbal argument. Strictly speaking, it doesn't count." Seeing Shaohua's worried face, Zhou Yan hurriedly comforted, "Don't panic. I'm just saying it casually. It's not that the son likes Sanniang, and Lanzhi has been selected."

Hearing Lanzhi's name, Shaohua's heart was more stable, because Xingyongbo Mansion and Sanwang Mansion can be regarded as standing in two different camps, so it is really impossible for them to marry.

"It's just that I suddenly called you all into the palace. It's a little abrupt no matter how I think about it. I don't know if I think too much myself, and I'm a little uneasy."

In fact, after hearing Zhou Yan's words, Shaohua also felt a little uneasy. After Li Ge told the old man, the Li family kept a low profile for a long time. Even Li Sijin and Li Sinian's orders to enter the court did not let the emperor take a look at the Li family. Otherwise, according to the identity of Li Ge and the future of this generation, the choice of the second prince is likely to be Wan Hua.

So some people say that the Li family's anger is exhausted, and even Li Sijin and Li Sinian may not be able to restore the Li family to the scenery of Li Ge's old dynasty.

However, now the three women of the Li family are allowed to enter the palace in a high-profile way, which makes people have to think too much. Now that the emperor has passed his 40 years, he should not be very interested in their smelly little women. Moreover, I heard that because of last year's illness, she is often not very cheerful now. The eldest prince has already had a concubine, and the second prince has not been married for a long time. Their status will definitely not be concubines. The other princes in the palace are unincarnated, and it will take another ten years to get married, but it is only possible that it will be the prince Hongfang.

Although Shaohua and Jinhua haven't had time to go to marriage, it's not impossible to decide on a marriage first and wait for them to come back to the door. If it is really to choose a concubine for the son, the opportunity for the Li family to rise again will come. In addition, a list of imperial concubines was circulated from the royal palace, and suddenly there was Li Shaohua's name in it. Although the royal palace did not admit it, there were more or less people who still had hope for the Li family.

"Can I not go?" Shaohua asked sadly.
