Mrs. Guo hugged her daughter and kept comforting her.
"Things haven't come to the worst yet, why are you anxious?" Mrs. Guo was afraid that her wife would be anxious, so she quickly comforted her and said, "Listen to my mother, things may not turn around."
Li Zhaoer raised her head with pear blossoms in the rain, and asked softly: "Mom, is there any other way? Anyway, no matter what, I will not marry that Xiao Yu."
"Okay, Mom knows, you have to let Mom think about it." Guo thought for a while and then said, "There are two solutions to this matter."
Li Zhaoer hurriedly asked: "What can I do?" It was spread outside that she was being careless and threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms, and she was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"The first is to find someone to marry on your behalf, and the second is to find a highly respected person to endorse this matter."
Li Zhaoer wiped her tears. She understood the first one, but she didn't understand the second one!
Guo said: "Think about it, now everyone is talking about how you and Xiao Yu are doing. If Master Du'e from Ganzhao Temple could come out and say a word for you, would it still be a big deal for you?"
Master Duer?
Li Zhaoer's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mother, if Master Du'e can really say a word for his daughter, then..." Then not only will she not have to marry Xiao Yu, but she will also become famous from now on, and may become the most popular person in the capital in one fell swoop.
A hot and famous lady.
When Princess Wuyou was still a commoner, she met Master Du'e by chance, and after receiving his words of "noble character", she was later adopted as an adopted daughter by the Queen Mother and was named the princess. From then on, she became a branch
Be a phoenix.
If she could also get Master Du'e's words like "character is precious," then she would be a blessing in disguise.
"You can't use your imagination. Don't think about it. How many years has it been since Master Du'e showed up?" Mrs. Guo sighed, "Now even the Queen Mother can't see him, let alone you."
The look in Li Zhaoer's eyes gradually dimmed, "What should I do? Are you just going to let me marry that Xiao Yu?"
"I still want to ask you, what's going on? Why did you jump on him?"
Li Zhaoer's cheeks were hot and she was extremely annoyed, "Oh, I was walking well, but who knew I suddenly stepped on the hem of my skirt and tripped. By chance, he was right in front, so we fell together.
"After all, she is a young girl who has not left the court. It is indeed inappropriate to hug a man in broad daylight.
Mrs. Guo originally thought there was some conspiracy, but when she heard that she stepped on her skirt and fell down, she was speechless. Just as she was about to say something more, she was told that Li Shu was here.
Li Zhaoer jumped up when she heard this, pulled Guo's sleeve and said, "Mom, what should I do? Will dad beat me?" She called Li Shu more casually in private.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. It's not your fault." Mrs. Guo steadied Li Zhaoer, "When I meet your father later, do you know that you have to be a little more aggrieved?"
Li Zhaoer nodded quickly, "I understand."
Just here, Li Shu entered the house, and Guo quickly greeted him, "Master Hou, why are you back at this time?"
Li Shu glared at her first, then glared at Li Zhaoer angrily, "You are not the good daughter you gave birth to. She has brought shame to our Li family."
Li Zhaoer had been loved and loved since childhood, but had never heard Li Shu say such harsh words. Tears fell uncontrollably, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Mrs. Guo sighed and said tremblingly: "Master Hou, what you said is serious. This is the daughter I gave birth to. I know her character best. You watched Zhaoer grow up. Could it be that she is that kind of girl?"
A person who causes trouble everywhere and has no rules?"
These words were a bit of an eyesore for Li Man'er, but Li Shu had listened to them for many years and had long been accustomed to them, so he didn't think there was anything in Guo's words.
Men's thoughts are all on the temple of the former dynasty, and Li Shu is a military commander, how could he possibly understand the thoughts and tricks between women?
"Father, I really didn't mean it." Li Zhaoer's tears seemed to be free of money. "If you think I have brought shame on the family, then it would be better for me to twist my hair and become a sister-in-law than to be laughed at by others."
Mrs. Guo also wiped her tears, "Aren't you trying to kill your mother? What nonsense are you talking about! Master Hou, Zhao'er just didn't stand firm. Is it possible that you want to force her to death because of this? Besides, this matter
Maybe there is someone else’s handiwork, and I know they are not plotting against us.”
Li Shu only felt extremely upset. Guo had always been gentle and cautious in front of him. He rarely looked so aggressive like today, which made him feel a little strange.
"Then what do you think we should do? Now everyone in the capital knows that she and Xiao Yu are having a relationship... everyone is waiting to see our family's joke!" Li Shu originally wanted to say that they were married, but it was indeed a bit heavy.
, and swallowed it back.
"What should I do if the Marquis wants to do that?"
Li Shu also had a headache.
The Xiao family has guarded Mobei for generations and has developed into a luxuriant branch with deep roots. If the emperor had not suspected the Xiao family, it would be a good thing for the two strong families to join forces. However, the Xiao family is now a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in the flesh.
Marriage with the Xiao family at this time is tantamount to seeking death.
"I will go to the palace immediately and ask for a decree from the emperor to grant a marriage." This is the way Cui came up with for him, and it is also the safest way at present.
Many problems can be seen in the emperor's attitude. If he agrees to the marriage between the two families, it means that in the eyes of the emperor, Xiao Yu is like an abandoned son of the Xiao family. Even if the Xiao family is convicted in the future, Xiao Yu is likely to be pardoned. Of course,
This situation is minimal.
The emperor is now employing people, and it is impossible for the whole Li Ai to be convicted because of one Xiao Yu.
But just as the emperor disagrees with the marriage between the two families, the signal here is very clear.
The emperor still trusts the Li family very much. As long as the Li family does not rebel, there will be no problems within three generations. Disagreeing with their marriage is equivalent to protecting the Li family. At the same time, he can also use the emperor's will to silence everyone in Youyou.
And by personally entering the palace to seek orders, he was also showing his loyalty to the emperor. Whether life or death was decided by the emperor, this was the duty of a minister.
Li Shu had an idea in his mind and immediately said: "Change, I want to enter the palace."
Guo's heart trembled after hearing this, "Master Hou, think twice, if you insist on entering the palace, you are forcing Zhao'er to die."
The servants came in holding official uniforms.
"What do you know? I went into the palace to save her." Li Shu said while changing his official uniform: "You must not act rashly. Wait until I come back to talk about anything."
Li Shu adjusted his belt, hung up the jade pendant, and immediately walked out, shouting as he walked, "Prepare your horse."
Mrs. Guo was so angry that her eyes were red. When she saw the girl with a low eyebrow and a submissive attitude, she became angry. She slapped her and cursed: "Fox Meizi, you can't move even when you see the Marquis. You come over eagerly to wait on me."
Shameless stuff."
The girl didn't dare to say a word, she covered her face and knelt down.
