Chapter 113 Uninvited Guest

November 26 was Lin Ke's ceremony. Princess Jiang only invited a few close families to the house to watch the ceremony.

As soon as the people arrived, and the ceremony had not yet begun. Mother Bai's face was faintly impatient. She hurried along the corridor to the door of the flower hall where the guests were waiting for guests. She went up a few steps, but retreated, waved to a little girl over and whispered her two words. The little girl looked at Mama Bai strangely, but did not dare to disobey and carried her skirt. Zi ran up the steps briskly. After that, Princess Jiang followed the little girl and went down the steps. Mother Bai hurried up and reported in a low voice: "Princess, it's amazing. The fourth master and the fifth master came. The master and the second master greeted the main hall first. Do you think?"

Princes Jiang's face turned blue: "What are they doing here? What did you say?"

"I heard that the second wife is today. Our uncle is not at home and can't do the gift of the eldest brother. They came to have a look, which is also the gift of the eldest brother for our uncle." Mother Bai smiled bitterly: "What's the gift of the eldest brother?! It's not clear... How can this be? Our eldest girl is still practicing Buddhism in Puji Temple.

"Don't be afraid," after stopping for a long time, Princess Jiang reluctantly calmed down: "What can I do? Dongyang County's mansion can't be offended, and this master can't be offended even more." Princess Jiang County breathed gently: "He came uninvited like this. What can we do? Last time we were wrong, I gritted my teeth to admit the matter of the eldest sister and the eldest brother. What else can I do this time? No matter what happens today, it won't matter to us. No matter what happens to him, I will tear this face and say it in front of the fourth master. I don't believe that his Dongyang prince dares to offend the fourth master.

"That's true. Dongyang County Palace is not only because of the noble concubine and the fourth master that it is so arrogant." Mother Bai hurriedly answered. Princess Jiang's words were not so hard. The joints of her hand holding the handkerchief were a little white. She looked at the front hall for a moment. Her fingers trembled slightly and pressed her temples and rubbed hard: "What's the matter! Ake's and Li, is this a special trip to see Ake's and Li? If this spreads... If this spreads out, what is this? He is a person who is discussing marriage. In case someone misunderstands, won't he offend others again? How will Ake talk about marriage in the future?

Mother Bai understood halfway after hearing this and looked at Princess Jiangjun with a stunned face. Yes, he was an unmarried man who came to see the second wife's ceremony. What's the matter? What does this make people think?

"There is also the fifth master, and the fifth master is also here. It's better for the two masters to come together than one." Mother Baixiang caught a life-saving straw. Princess Jiang sighed heavily, loosened her red temples that had been rubbed, and looked at Mother Bai and ordered, "Go down. Don't mention the matter of Ake and Li. She said that the fourth master and the fifth master came to find Erlang to talk. No, no, she said that she came to find the second master to find a few old books. Go to the library behind us to find some old books. Go in person and tell them one by one. If you dare to chew half your tongue, you can kill them directly!" Mother Bai hurriedly agreed. Princess Jiang took a few deep breaths, calmed the anger on her face, and steadily returned to the flower hall.

Li Tian was talking to Yu Yaofang, Jiang Shan and others. When Lin Ke changed his heavy dress, Yin Hua came quickly from a distance and winked at Li Tian from afar. Li Tian made an excuse to change clothes and came out with green branches. She turned around. Yin Hua looked left and right and jumped two steps. , anxiously and angrily, "That master is here." The smile on Li Tian's face stiffened: "How do you know?"

"I was talking to Biyu. Mother Bai came over and asked Biyu to take the key to the library building in the back, saying that the fourth master came and wanted to find some old books in the library building in the back." Yinhua hurriedly explained, and Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "This is Mother Bai's letter to us. It seems that she is an uninvited guest this time."

"What should we do?" Yinhua looked at Li Tian and asked. Li Tian lowered her head and thought, "Let's go back now."

"Are you going back now?" Qingzhi frowned and said, "Will it be bad? Seeing that a banquet is about to be held, how abrupt it is for us to leave like this.

"It's better to go," Li Tian lowered her head and thought about it. She looked at the two and explained, "Since she was an uninvited guest, the princess asked us to hand us a letter. This is to let us go quickly. Think about it, today is Ake's gift, but such an uninvited guest came. I don't know why he came. I'm sure it's reasonable. Of course, he thought that he came for Ake's and the ceremony, and Ake became a scapegoat. When this spread, the Nanning Prince's Mansion didn't know which one to offend. Maybe it would affect Sister Wen and Ake's marriage. We have to go quickly. If we leave, he will leave.

"Uh-huh, the fifth lady is right. Let's go quickly. Do you want to talk to those little ladies?" Yinhua hurriedly nodded and agreed. Li Tian shook her head and said, "No, go and tell the princess, and say that I blew a cold wind. A while ago, the old illness suddenly broke out. I had to go back to take medicine quickly, so I didn't say goodbye to her, whisper, and then called Yue Niang and went straight to the second door." Silver Hua answered. Li Tian took the green branches, and even the bucket was too late to take it. He picked up the path that was not easy to be seen in the rockery under the forest and hurried out to the second gate.

The two were extremely vigilant all the way. They looked at the tall rockery in front of them and went out of the back garden. As soon as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a sound of footsteps. Qingzhi's footsteps froze and turned her head to look at Li Tian. Li Tian raised her hand and pointed back to the rockery, carrying her skirt and her toes to drill into the rockery behind. Qingzhi looked left and right, hesitated, and continued to walk forward.

Within waiting for her to calm down, Lin Yangwen accompanied the fourth prince and the fifth prince to face him. The fifth prince recognized Qingzhi at a glance. It was the girl who threw the jade pendant in front of him. The fifth prince's eyes passed over Qingzhi and turned around to look for Li Tian. The fourth prince glanced at Qingzhi and turned his head to ask Lin Yangwen, "This girl is so familiar." Lin Yangwen quickly bowed to the fourth prince and said, "This is the girl of the Li family's cousin, called Qingzhi, Qingzhi, come here!"

Qingzhi seemed to shrink and dare not approach. He lowered his eyebrows and bent his knees. The fourth prince looked at her gently and raised his hand and smiled, "Don't be afraid. Why did you come here if you are not with the Fifth Lady?"

"If you go back to the master, the maidservant is ordered to go to the kitchen to get some snacks for several women." Qingzhi replied respectfully. Lin Yangwen blushed and didn't know whether to explain or scold him, "There are so many women in the house. How can you come and get snacks? Who ordered this?"

Qingzhi looked at Lin Yangwen with a panicked face, as if he couldn't answer. The fifth prince looked at the panicked and frightened Qingzhi and raised his eyebrows with great interest. The fourth prince looked back at Lin Yangwen. The fifth prince's eyes turned half a circle and suddenly interrupted, "In such a cold day, I But there is no such elegance as the fourth brother. You can go shopping. I'll go to the warm pavilion over there to rest. I didn't sleep well last night," the fifth prince yawned exaggeratedly: "The fourth brother is fine and asked someone to call me. I'll squint for a while."

"Look at you, are you so sleepy? Oh, go ahead and accompany Erlang. The fourth prince looked at the fifth prince helplessly and answered, turned his head and ordered Lin Yangwen. Lin Yangwen was stunned: "Then the fourth master?"

"I'll stroll around here and go to the warm pavilion to rest later. You go there first." Although the fourth prince's tone was gentle but indisputable, Lin Yangwen agreed and accompanied the fifth prince to the warm pavilion behind the rockery.

The fourth prince looked at the two going away, then turned around and asked gently, "Where are your five ladies now?" Qingzhi shook her head and said, "When the maidservant was called out, our fifth wife, Yu's wife and Jiang's wife said they wanted to go to the garden. The maidservant didn't know where she had gone now."

"Oh," the fourth prince was slightly disappointed. He paused for a moment and lowered his head and thought about it before ordering, "Go and invite the fifth lady to come over." The fourth prince hesitated for a moment before then said, "I have something to say to her. If it's very important, please come here." Qingzhi lowered his eyebrows and bent his knees and agreed. He stepped back a few steps and turned into the garden.

The fourth prince looked left and right, walked behind his back to the flower rack next to him, and looked at the direction of the green branches disappearing, waiting for a little restless.

Li Tian was stuck in the rockery cave and dared not come out. She listened attentively to the movement outside with her ears.

Not far from the warm pavilion behind the rockery, the fifth prince suddenly stopped his steps, turned his head and looked at Lin Yangwen and said, "You have to bother Erlang. Is there a stream of sunshine in the house?"

"It happens that my father's favorite Liuxia wine in Qingfenglou has just bought a few bottles." Lin Yangwen replied with a smile on his face, and the fifth prince gave an unexpected 'er', and then asked, "That Yutang spring wine?"

"I don't have this ready. I'll let someone buy it." Lin Yangwen replied attentively, and the fifth prince quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm really ashamed to say that I'm a little picky about this wine. The taste of the Yutang spring wine that Qingfenglou usually goes to takeaway is still much worse. I'm afraid that Erlang will go to the Qingfeng Building to find the shopkeeper of Min and ask him to get a few bottles of wine I usually drink." Although Lin Yangwen couldn't figure out why he had to go this trip in person, how dare he asked more? He quickly bowed and promised, "No trouble, no trouble. I'll go now and I'll be back in a minute."

The fifth prince watched him walk quickly, his eyebrows flew a few times with satisfaction, winked at the little man, looked left and right, and the cat slipped back quietly back with his waist. The fifth prince walked back with his waist and looked around looking for a suitable place where he could hide and peek.

Not far from the fourth prince, the fifth prince saw a cave at a glance. The entrance of the cave faced the warm pavilion, and the other side was right in the direction of the fourth prince. The rockery was thin and leaky, and there must be a hole to see the opposite side. The fifth prince was overjoyed and bent down and rushed into the rockery. Li Tian was standing close to the wall of the cave and saw the fifth prince bowing his head and cat waist. Get in and your eyes are wide open. The fifth prince entered the cave, straightened up with satisfaction, blinked, adapted to the darkness in the cave, turned half around, and saw Li Tian at a glance, stunned there.
