"What's wrong?" Li Can felt that something was wrong with Zhao Minghui's eyes.
She touched her face: "Is there anything?"
"No." Zhao Minghui shook his head, took a sip of wine and asked her, "Is the little rabbit gone?"
"No more." Li Can was smiling, but when he asked about the little rabbit, the corners of his raised lips fell back.
"I'm not sad." Zhao Minghui subconsciously wanted to pat her hand to comfort her, but he took it back rationally: "I'll buy you another one later."
"She doesn't want it." Liu Zhenlian interjected, "I've already asked."
"Why?" Zhao Minghui looked at Li Can.
Now, his eyes looked more natural.
"It's so pitiful. I don't want to harm them." Li Can's dark eyes were a little dim.
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yinhuan came with a wine cup and sat down next to Zhao Minghui.
"Ninth Princess, you're finally down!" Liu Zhenlian was overjoyed when she saw her. She raised her wine cup and touched it: "Let's have a drink first."
"Brother Five Emperors just refused to let me come down." Zhao Yin greeted them with a smile: "Wei Che, Can Can, long time no see, are you all okay?"
"I'm fine, I just miss you so much." Li Can took Zhao Yinhuan's hand.
Zhao Minghui just smiled without saying anything and took another sip of wine.
"My lord."
Later, someone called him.
The four of them all looked up and saw Kong Wenru standing behind Zhao Minghui awkwardly with her hands clenched in front of her: "You called me?"
Zhao Minghui was stunned for a moment and looked around. Who knew who was spreading the rumor? When did he call Kong Wenru?
"Wenru, come and sit here." Li Can patted his side and greeted Kong Wenru.
"Thank you, Miss Seven." After Kong Wenru thanked her, she blushed and sat down next to Li Can.
"It's not easy, Zhao Minghui." Liu Zhenlian clicked her tongue: "It's enlightening."
Hearing this, Zhao Yinhuan winked at Zhao Minghui, and everyone laughed.
The smile on Zhao Minghui's face did not reach his eyes, and he was depressed in his heart. He drank the wine in his glass and stood up: "You guys sit down, I'll go over there."
"Do you feel that something is wrong with him?" Liu Zhenlian raised her head and watched Zhao Minghui walk away.
"I think there's something wrong with you." Zhao Yinhuan tapped her forehead with her fingers: "When did you care about others?"
Liu Zhenlian burst out laughing when she heard this, and the two of them raised their wine cups to drink.
Li Can couldn't drink more wine and couldn't eat the food, so he sat there talking to Kong Wenru.
Although Kong Wenru still doesn't talk much and her temper is still dull, she is better than when Li Can first met her.
This continues until the banquet is over.
"Li Can."
Zhao Jie came down from above to call her.
"I'm leaving, please be careful on the road." Li Can warned Liu Zhenlian and the others, and then followed Zhao Ye out.
Xia Jieyao, who was following Zhao Luan, watched this scene and couldn't help but clenched her crippled hand.
Girls in twos and threes gathered together and walked out. When they saw Li Can following Zhao Zong out of the hall, they couldn't help but sigh and talk again.
Li Can either didn't go to the banquet, but whenever he went to the banquet, he was picked up and dropped off by the prince. I really don't know what kind of virtue he accumulated in his previous life to have such a good life.
Of course, there are also jealous people among them, but so what? Who calls Li Can lucky?
Zhao Xun stood in the main hall, watching the guests disperse.
The surroundings were empty, and he finally no longer had to wear the mask of a gentle fake smile. He leaned over and overturned the table in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, he overturned the small table that Zhao Zong had used, and then the next one.
In just a moment, he smashed everything above him to pieces!
After so many years of planning, marrying such a useless wife and wasting your position as a princess is not clean!
He has endured this anger for an entire feast!
The servants were all in the corner, their heads lowered and they didn't dare to say anything.
They couldn't understand why His Highness was so angry on the big day.
As for Li Xiangnan, she waited all night in her new house but could not wait for Zhao Xun. Only a pair of tearful red candles stayed with her until dawn.
＊
At noon, the carriage from the East Palace arrived at the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion.
Li Can was already ready. After speaking to his aunt, he got on the carriage.
This time, she sat beside him in a polite manner, instead of sitting in Zhao Zong's arms.
Zhao Ye remained silent and took a soft cushion to put on it for her.
"Brother Zeyu." Li Can leaned against the wall of the carriage and asked him: "Didn't your Majesty reveal a single word?"
She wanted to know what Emperor Qianyuan was going to do when he saw her, so that she could be prepared.
Zhao Ye shook his head.
"Then you couldn't guess it?" Li Can frowned slightly and looked at him.
"The king's heart is unpredictable." Zhao Zong replied calmly.
Li Can sighed slightly.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Zhi comforted her: "It shouldn't be a bad thing."
Li Can nodded obediently.
In fact, she didn't really want to see Emperor Qianyuan.
Every time I saw Emperor Qianyuan, it was like passing a test. When talking to Emperor Qianyuan, I had to carefully consider every word and the tone of every sentence. It was really tiring and tight.
But she can't refuse. For example, if she refuses now, she will be disobeying the decree and will be beheaded.
She still likes to see Aunt Concubine Chen, it is relaxing and there are many delicious food, all of which she likes.
"Is breakfast available?" Zhao Zhi asked her.
"Yes." Li Can nodded: "I have finished meeting Your Majesty, can I go see Aunt Concubine Chen?"
"Yeah." Zhao Zong nodded.
Li Can became happy, then remembered and said: "But, I didn't prepare anything to bring to your Aunt Concubine Chen."
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Ye looked at her, and the fingers on his knees were slightly curled, but he did not reach out to pull her.
After entering the palace, Zhao Zong took Li Can to the Wende Palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is no longer here."
The young eunuch at the entrance of Wende Hall bent down and saluted.
"Where did your father go?" Zhao Zhi frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty ordered your servant to inform His Majesty the Crown Prince that your Majesty has gone to the residence of Concubine Ning and Gong Chen." The little eunuch replied in a sharp voice.
Zhao Ji turned around and walked outside.
Li Can followed her, and when she was far away, she turned around and lost sight of the little eunuch. Then she asked, "Brother Zeyu, didn't your Majesty tell you where he would meet me?"
"Father said it was in Wende Hall." Zhao Zhen replied, "I don't know why I changed my mind."
"It would be better to go to Concubine Chen's place." Li Can felt relieved.
She always felt that with Concubine Chen's presence, she seemed to have someone to support her, and her heart was less worried.
The gate of Ninghe Palace was open. Naji stood guard at the door and introduced Li Can and Zhao Zong into the main hall.
Emperor Qianyuan was wearing ordinary clothes, sitting on a soft couch with Concubine Chen, smiling and looking very easy-going.
Concubine Chen sat beside him with some restraint.
Seeing Li Can and Zhao Ye enter the door, Concubine Chen stood up.
"I have met my father, the emperor, my mother and my concubines." Zhao Zhen saluted.
"Xin'er has met Your Majesty and Concubine Chen." Li Can bowed politely.
Concubine Chen looked at her with a smile and said nothing.
She glanced at Emperor Qianyuan and really wanted to kick this dog emperor out of the house so that she could get closer to Xin'er.
"Excuse me." Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand and said casually: "I remember that girl Xin always held the prince's hand when she came in. Why don't you hold the prince's hand today?"
Concubine Chen looked at him again and clenched her hands into fists.
Li Can stood up straight and said delicately: "Because I am about to get haircut. My aunt said that when I get haircut, I will be an adult and I can no longer be too close to men."
"Oh?" Emperor Qianyuan laughed: "Why?"
Li Can blinked his clear eyes and said: "If you are too close, if you get married in the future, the betrothal gift will be too small and you will be laughed at."
Emperor Qianyuan burst out laughing: "Look, she also knows how to ask for more betrothal gifts."
Concubine Chen also smiled and said softly: "We are such a good child, so the betrothal gift should be generous."
"Okay." Emperor Qianyuan stopped smiling and looked at Li Can: "In that case, if you are old enough, I will give you a big gift and keep the betrothal gift for yourself."
"What kind of gift?" Li Can asked curiously, her long crow-green eyelashes fluttering.
In fact, she was worried. His Majesty was not going to grant her a marriage, was he?
Emperor Qianyuan leaned back and paused for a moment before asking: "How about I give you a marriage?"
