It's getting really cold these days.

Great Shang Capital, Liyuan.

Hongzhu, who was dressed in red, stood in front of the room, holding a fruit plate, looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky, and said sweetly, "I don't know if that brat Xiao Ziye is coming back. Is he happy to miss Shu because of the Shuiling born by the girl from Yingzhou?"

, forgot to go home.

Soon.

On the side, Li Youwei felt a hint of chill, tightened her brocade robe tightly, and said, his second brother went there in person, and he will be back soon. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, as long as everything is fine.

How could something happen to him?

Hongzhupi smiled and said, "That boy is smarter than anyone else. Those people in Yingzhou are really short-sighted. It's not good to catch anyone. If you insist on catching Ziye, won't you be causing trouble for yourself?"

Having said this, Hongzhu looked at the woman beside her and asked, "Youwei, I heard that Prince Xuanwu is still obsessed with you. When you were discussing business with the Changsun family, he came to harass you again for an excuse. I can help him."

A lesson?

Need not.

Li Youwei shook her head and said, I can still handle it. After all, Prince Xuanwu's status is extraordinary, so it is not appropriate for him to be impulsive again for the time being.

That playboy only dared to be so arrogant because he saw that his younger brother was not in the house. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would definitely not be spared. Hongzhu said coldly.

The people do not fight with the officials.

Li Youwei said softly that although the Li family has some strength, it is best not to conflict with people in the court.

It's a pity that even Little Red Riding Hood is not here now, otherwise, given his friendship with Xiao Ziye, he probably wouldn't just sit back and watch.

Hongzhu looked at the snowflakes outside the porch and said, "So many people all rushed to Yingzhou, and Li Yuan became deserted, which was really not used to it."

If you wait a little longer, maybe they will come back before the New Year.

Li Youwei's eyes flashed with light, and she said, "I didn't expect that my little brother would be gone for a year. I thought he would be back in three to five months."

Miss.

at this time.

Outside the inner courtyard, a servant came quickly and saluted respectfully. Miss Changsun asked to see him.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao?

When Hongzhu heard this, she looked startled and asked, what is she doing here?

Not sure.

Li Youwei shook her head and said, coming at this time, you should have something serious to do.

After speaking, Li Youwei looked at the servants in front and said, please invite them to the main hall.

yes!

The servant accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.

Let’s go and see it together.

Li Youwei said something and immediately walked towards the front yard.

Hong Zhu stuffed the last piece of dried fruit in the fruit plate into her mouth, then put down the fruit plate and followed quickly.

Front yard, main hall.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao, dressed in a gorgeous fur robe, was sitting in the hall, with a gorgeous face and eyes like autumn water, seductive and charming, showing the charm of a mature woman.

Another year has passed, and the beautiful face of eldest grandson Nanqiao not only does not have any traces of time, but on the contrary, it becomes more and more charming.

The eldest grandson sister.

Li Youwei came over, saw the woman in the hall, and saluted politely.

Miss Li.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao stood up and returned the courtesy politely.

Why is Sister Changsun here at this time?

Li Youwei glanced at the heavy snow outside and said, is something wrong?

Um.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao nodded and said solemnly, Miss Li, there is something I must tell you. King Xuanwu may want to ask your Majesty to grant a marriage between you and the crown prince of Xuanwu King.

What!

Behind Li Youwei, Hongzhu's expression suddenly changed when he heard the words, with murderous intent in his eyes.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao felt this and subconsciously looked at the woman in red behind the eldest daughter of the Li family.

This Hongzhu girl from the Li Mansion is not an ordinary person.

In front of Hongzhu, Li Youwei heard the news brought by eldest grandson Nanqiao. She frowned slightly, but she was not too panicked. She said calmly, I wonder where elder sister eldest grandson got this news?

The empress, the eldest grandson Nanqiao said sternly.

Li Youwei's body trembled slightly, but she quickly recovered and said, "Even if your Majesty granted me a marriage, you should have asked me what the Li family meant. My father is still in Yuzhou City. Without the words of my parents' order to arrange a matchmaker, this marriage would not have happened."

.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked at the Li family's daughter who remained calm in front of her, and sighed, it would be a pity for such a strange woman to marry the playboy of Prince Xuanwu.

Miss Li.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked very serious and said, The Queen Mother told me this matter personally, and it was the Queen Mother's wish that I came to tell Miss Li.

Li Youwei heard the former's intention, saluted respectfully, and said, "The Queen's kindness, Youwei, will always be remembered in my heart."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao stretched out his hand to help the woman in front of him and said softly, the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Shu, is the biological sister of King Xuanwu. Miss Li must know about this relationship. King Xuanwu went to the palace to discuss the matter with Concubine Shu the day before yesterday. Concubine Shu's subordinates

A palace official accidentally overheard this and reported the incident to the Queen. Does Miss Li understand what I mean?

I see.

A flash of thought flashed in Li Youwei's eyes, and she said, this matter is not a foregone conclusion yet, but it is also very troublesome.

good.

The eldest grandson Nan Qiao nodded and said, for the time being, this matter is only the wish of King Xuanwu and Concubine Shu. His Majesty has not expressed his position. Just as Miss Li said, if His Majesty grants the marriage, he will definitely ask the Li family's intentions, or at least inform your father.

Fortunately, the Li family is not an ordinary merchant family. Regardless of the influence of the Li family in the big merchants or the fact that the second son of the Li family has become a great practitioner of the Five Realms, His Majesty will carefully consider the marriage grant and will not make the decision easily.

decision, so the Li family still has time, but once His Majesty really agrees to the marriage, everything will be a foregone conclusion and no one can change it.

Speaking of this, the eldest son Nanqiao looked at the woman in front of him and said something in his words, the Li family should make preparations early.

Thank you to Sister Changsun for deliberately making a trip to inform me of this matter, so that my Li family would not be completely caught off guard. Li Youwei once again politely bowed and thanked me.

Miss Li, there is no need to be so polite.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, I also want to ask, what does Miss Li think of my fourth prince? Is it possible?"

Li Youwei was stunned for a moment, then gently shook her head and said, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has a noble status, and his talent in martial arts is rare in a century. I heard from the disciples of the Confucian sect that when he was in Mobei, His Highness the Fourth Prince also took good care of his younger brother.

Wei is grateful in her heart, but she doesn't dare to climb high.

pity.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao sighed softly and said, although he already knew Miss Li's answer, he still couldn't help but want to ask. To be honest, Miss Li, the fourth prince of my family also broke the hearts of the Queen and me, but

, since Miss Li has no intention, then forget it. By the way, I just mentioned Mr. Li, it’s been so long, hasn’t he come back yet?

No.

Li Youwei said softly, it should be soon, his second brother has already gone to find him in person.

That's good, let me remind Miss Li.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao said seriously, the three siblings of the Li family, including Miss Li, are not yet married. The second young master Li has entered the fifth realm, so forget it. No one dares to provoke him easily. However, Miss Li and Li San

Young Master, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky. In the whirlpool of this capital, marriage is almost inevitable.

Li Youwei listened, nodded slightly and said, "Youwei understands what Sister Changsun means."

It's good for Miss Li to be mentally prepared.

The eldest grandson Nan Qiao said calmly, the eldest grandson's family and the Li family have cooperated quite happily this year, so I don't want anything to happen to the Li family. Miss Li should find a way to resolve the matter of Prince Xuanwu as soon as possible, otherwise, she will always be a

trouble.

Um.

Li Youwei nodded and said, this matter is really troublesome to Sister Changsun and the Empress. Please thank the Empress on behalf of You. If there is a chance, the Li family will definitely repay the favor.

polite.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao said softly, I will bring Miss Li's words. Well, it is already getting late, so I will go back first.

I'm sending my eldest grandson sister off," Li Youwei said.

The eldest grandson Nanqiao nodded and immediately walked outside.

Li Youwei followed with an umbrella and saw him off personally.
