Chapter 297 The girl doesn't want to look like His Royal Highness at all
Li Can sent Zhao Yinhuan away and returned to the courtyard.
"What did the Ninth Princess say to you?"
Li Jin stood on the porch with his hands behind his hands, looking at her from a distance.
"Just say that Lianzi wants to play with me and talk to me." Li Can fluttered her long eyelashes twice and stepped forward to hug him with a smile: "I have already rejected them. I said I want to stay at home with my brother."
"Although you won't have haircut until the end of the year, you are already an adult now, so you must be measured in what you say and do." Li Jin told her. In fact, he also heard some of what Zhao Yinhuan said.
"I know, brother, let's go in quickly." Li Can opened the study door curtain for him diligently.
Li Jin glanced at her funny: "Do you really know, or are you just telling me?"
"Of course I really know." Li Can followed him into the house: "Brother, how can you not believe me? Do you think I have ever gotten into trouble in so many years?"
"If you get into trouble, there will be someone to take care of it for you." Li Jin glanced at her and said, "Come on, keep writing."
Li Can didn't say what Zhao Yinhuan said. He felt a little guilty anyway, so he stepped forward, picked up a pen, and copied the rosters obediently.
Zhao Yinhuan returned to the carriage and ordered: "Let's go to the market."
"Where's Cancan?" Liu Zhenlian couldn't help but ask her.
"Li Jin won't let her come out." Zhao Yinhuan sat down with her clothes in hand.
"Aren't you going to end up like me and return in vain?" Liu Zhenlian curled her lips: "It's a good thing that you were so steadfast in your vows when you went there just now."
"How am I the same as you? I went in and even talked to Cancan." Zhao Yinhuan crossed her arms and said proudly: "I have told Cancan about Xia Jieyao.
"
"What did she say?" Liu Zhenlian couldn't help but ask.
"Cancan said, there is no need to be anxious. If you are anxious, the other ladies will be anxious as well. We will go to the banquet the day after tomorrow and see what happens." Zhao Yinhuan and Xia Jieyao told her what Li Can meant.
Liu Zhenlian leaned against the wall of the carriage, thought for a while, and sighed.
"What, you're still not convinced?" Zhao Yinhuan asked her funny.
"What Cancan said is right. There are so many people who want to be the Crown Princess, and there must be some who are not willing to do so." Liu Zhenlian rolled her eyes and said, "But that's not why I want to teach Xia Jieyu a lesson.
What I mostly dislike is that she doesn’t like her and I don’t take care of her, which makes me feel uncomfortable.”
As she was talking, she suddenly remembered: "Eh? Zhao Yinhuan, what do you think?"
"What?" Zhao Yinhuan picked up a winter jujube from the plate on the side, took a bite, and looked at her.
"Didn't Xia Jieyao grow up with you?" Liu Zhenlian laughed: "Why are you helping me at this time?
Do you also think there is something wrong with her character?"
"No." Zhao Yinhuan shook his head with a meaningless look on his face: "I think she's okay.
But I, you, and Cancan are better friends, so of course I will support you."
"Cancan also hates Xia Jieyao?" Liu Zhenlian was doubtful: "I didn't see it. Every time she talks to Xia Jieyao, she always smiles."
"Who is she not smiling with?" Zhao Yinhuan took another bite of the date and said vaguely: "You don't understand even if I tell you.
That's just like my Fifth Emperor brother, he still looks amiable to everyone, do you think he is a person who treats everyone equally well?"
"It makes sense." Liu Zhenlian nodded and thought about it: "It is true that Cancan can hide her thoughts and laugh in front of people she hates, but I can't do that."
"So, you are not as good as her." Zhao Yinhuan smiled and patted her.
"Then you are not as good as her?" Liu Zhenlian looked sideways at her.
Zhao Yinhuan looked at her and they both laughed.
＊
Beginning of winter feast.
Li Xiangnan was busy in the main hall, with servants coming in and out in an orderly manner.
This was the first banquet Li Xiangnan had organized after entering Prince Qi's Mansion, and she had tried her best.
She wanted to make Zhao Xun look pleasing to the eye, and she also wanted to make the Queen admire her with admiration.
On the second day of their wedding, Zhao Xun took her into the palace to meet His Majesty and the Queen.
His Majesty was very agreeable, kowtowed, said a few words, and then withdrew.
But the queen is very rare to see.
Although it had been many days, she still remembered the scene that day.
The maid in front of the empress asked her to stay outside the palace, and only Zhao Xun was sent in.
She stood alone outside the main hall for a full hour.
During this period, maids and eunuchs came in and out from time to time.
None of them made a sound, and she didn't even see anyone raise their eyes to look at her, but she seemed to have heard countless ridicules in that hour.
The queen finally met her, but it was just a meeting. After only a moment of entering, the queen sent Zhao Xun to take her back to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Later, this incident spread throughout the imperial capital.
Since she was Princess Qi, no one dared to say anything to her face, but there were many people who talked and laughed at her behind her back.
She could only swallow her anger.
This time at the Beginning of Winter Banquet, she had to put on a good show so as not to be underestimated.
"Princess, the time has come. It's time to go to the door."
The maid Qingyu stepped forward and reminded her in a low voice.
"Okay." Li Xiangnan handed the thing in his hand to another maid.
King Qingyu went to heaven to tidy up her clothes.
In order to show that she attached great importance to this banquet and the guests, she planned to go to the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion in person to greet the guests.
Li Jin got off the carriage, turned around and led Li Can down.
Zhao Zhen was sitting on the carriage. He saw it from a distance and got off the carriage.
As if he had no bones, Li Can took Li Jin's arm and followed him forward happily.
In the past, she was ignorant and did not listen to her brother's words, which always made her brother angry.
Therefore, her brother didn't pay much attention to her, and they didn't get along much.
She always thought that even if her brother was stern, he must be difficult to get along with.
But this time, after getting along with him for a few days, she found that her brother was not what she thought.
My brother was just cold-faced and said he was in charge of her, but in fact he was very indulgent towards her.
For example, now.
"Li Can, there are so many people here, can you stand up straight?" Li Jin looked sideways at the person holding his arm.
"I'm hugging my brother, what's wrong?" Li Can stood next to him with a playful smile.
Li Jin had no choice but to let her go.
Zhao Ji got off the carriage and slowed down his pace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Someone next to him saluted, and he nodded slightly.
"Brother Zeyu." Li Can saw him and called out with bright eyes.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." When Li Jin bowed his hands in salute, Li Can's hand was still hanging on his arm.
Zhao Ye glanced at Li Can: "No courtesy."
Li Can only smiled at him, showing no intention of passing by.
"Your Highness, please." Li Jin raised his hand.
Zhao Zong glanced at Li Can again, rubbed his fingers slightly, turned around and walked ahead.
Li Can took his brother's hand and followed him.
"Master." Behind him, Wuhuang whispered: "Young lady hasn't seen His Highness for a few days. Why does it seem like you don't miss His Highness at all?"
His Highness looked at the girl several times.
"Do you need to worry about it?" Wu Zao glanced at him.
Wuhuang shrank his neck and muttered: "I just think the girl is so heartless. Since she has her own brother, she has forgotten our Highness..."
"What nonsense!" Wu Zao raised his hand and patted him: "If you have a brother who doesn't come back for several years, I'm afraid he will be more rare than a girl!"
Wuhuang covered his head and laughed.
At the door, Li Xiangnan smiled and saluted: "His Royal Highness is here."
Zhao Zong nodded slightly and walked through the door.
Li Xiangnan looked at Li Can and Li Jin.
Her eyes paused on Li Jin's face, without saluting, she just smiled and said, "Third brother is back?"
She is Princess Qi now, and there are not many people in the imperial capital who can let her salute.
Li Jin lowered his eyes and saluted, and said with a cold face: "I have met the princess, the princess. I am not related to the princess, so the princess should call me by my name."
"Fourth sister." Li Can smiled and said to Yifu: "You see that Qing has lost a lot of weight and is haggard, but the position of Princess Qi is too hard, and you are tired like this?"
