Zhao Luan's eyes fell on Zhao Gong's hand holding Li Can, and his expression was worried.
"I have met the eldest princess of Changle." Li Can let go of Zhao Ge's hand and saluted her.
"Ze Yu took the time to visit Ah Yao today?" Zhao Luan said slowly.
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and looked around: "I wonder where she is. Is she seriously injured?"
"You are resting in the yard, I will take you there." Zhao Luan stood up and glanced at Li Can: "But only you can go, Li Can stays here."
Zhao Ye looked at Li Can.
"Why?" Li Can raised his clear eyes and looked at Zhao Luan: "Why doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess let me visit Sister Ah Yao?"
"If you people from the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion are really sincere in coming to visit my daughter, the head of your family should come by yourself." Zhao Luan glanced at her up and down: "You, a little girl, cannot represent the whole of Jing'an.
The Hou Mansion has no status to do this."
"Sister Ah Yao and I are good friends, isn't it right for me to visit her?" Li Can looked directly at her and asked.
This time, she didn't give in.
Zhao Luan didn't like her either.
Even if she was being low-key, Zhao Luan would still target her, and he might say something uglier or do something uglier.
So, why did she let Zhao Luan go?
Although Zhao Luan is the eldest princess, Zhao Luan can't bully others too much if he can't escape a word of reason.
Besides, she was not unprotected.
"A Yao is not feeling well, so we won't accept our friends today." Zhao Luan looked at her with a gloomy look.
"Then, on behalf of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, I am here to visit Miss Xia from Princess Changle's Mansion." Li Can showed no sign of weakness, and his words were quite imposing.
Zhao Ye lowered his eyes, with a hint of smile hidden in his eyes.
"Are you sure you can represent the Marquis of Jing'an?" Zhao Luan's expression turned even more ugly.
"Confirmed." Li Can straightened his back: "If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't believe it, you can send someone to my house and ask my eldest aunt."
Zhao Luan's face was extremely ugly, and he was about to say something about her arrogance again, when he saw Zhao Zhuo reaching out to hold her.
"Seventh Emperor Aunt, please." He said calmly.
Zhao Luan swallowed his words, looked at the hands the two held together and said, "Ze Yu, how old are you now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hold hands like this anymore."
"The Seventh Emperor is worrying too much." Zhao Zong's expression remained unchanged: "We are the same in front of our father."
"I am doing it for your own good. As a prince, you should have the dignity of a prince." Zhao Luan took a deep breath and said, "What are you talking about when you are arguing with your daughter's family?"
"Since we're here, Seventh Emperor Aunt doesn't have to worry about these things." Zhao Jie looked at her: "If Seventh Emperor Auntie really refuses, we'll leave now."
"Come with me."
Zhao Luan was angry, but couldn't vent it, so he waved his sleeves and took the lead.
Li Can followed Zhao Zong and followed closely.
Xia Jieyao was basking in the sun on the porch. There were several burn scars of varying depths and sizes on her face, which were red and oozing with blood. They looked very scary.
"Ah Yao, Zeyu is here to see you."
Zhao Luan entered the courtyard and spoke first.
Xia Jieyao stood up and saluted Zhao Xing solemnly: "Ayao has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No courtesy." Zhao Zhi said calmly.
Xia Jieyao looked at Li Can again, with a smile on her face, and said hello softly: "Sister Can is here too."
"Sister Ah Yao." Li Can greeted, looking at the scars on Xia Jie Yao's face, there was some thought in his dark eyes.
Xia Jieyao didn't hide away because of the scar on her face, nor did she cry out in pain, she was still as down-to-earth and generous as before.
If these scars were not so conspicuous, she would have thought that Xia Jieyao was not injured at all.
If it were her, I'm afraid she would have cried till she was unconscious, let alone endure such pain.
Xia Jieyao is really tolerant.
While Li Can secretly admired him, he also became more and more wary.
She didn't know what Xia Jieyao was thinking.
But Zhao Luan always had the same heart as Xia Jieyao.
If Xia Jieyao hadn't nodded, Zhao Luan wouldn't have tried his best to help her win the position of crown princess.
She sighed inwardly.
Zhao Luan found the wrong enemy, and she didn't want to be the crown princess.
Xia Jieyao is now regarded as the apple of Zhao Luan's eye. Even if she doesn't get the position of crown princess, she should be unable to escape the position of crown prince's concubine.
When she thought of marrying Zhao Ge and having to serve a husband together with someone else, she felt uneasy in her heart.
The next moment, he let go of Zhao Zong's hand.
Zhao Ye's palms were empty, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he looked sideways at her.
Li Can only looked ahead, not looking at him at all.
"You're injured like this, so don't be so polite." Zhao Luan stepped forward to support Xia Jieyao, raised his chin and said, "You are indeed Jiang Anbo's legitimate daughter. You are still so well-behaved after being injured like this.
.
If it had been someone else, he would have been crying and not knowing how to express pain."
As she spoke, she glanced at Li Can.
Who doesn't know that Li Can has been delicate since he was a child, and would cry like the sky is falling at the slightest pain.
Moreover, her words also alluded to Li Can's low status.
Xia Jie Yao was born in the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion, and although her family status was not as high as that of the Marquis of Jing'an, Li Can was not Li Yan's biological son, so he could not be compared to Jie Yao.
"Mom, please don't praise me like this." Xia Jieyao lowered her head shyly.
Li Can wrinkled his little face and looked at Xia Jie Yao with sympathy: "Sister A Yao must have had a hard time when she was a child, right?"
"Why did Sister Can say that?" When Xia Jieyao heard this, she couldn't help but pinch the palm of her hand hidden in her sleeve.
Li Can's words touched her sore spot.
If she hadn't had a bad life in Jiang Anbo's house, why would she have tried every possible means to please Zhao Luan and climb this big tree?
"My aunt, Concubine Chen, said that only children who are loved by others love to cry." Li Can curled his eyes and said, "Only children who have been beaten since childhood and no one loves them will stop crying."
She spoke softly and smiled after she finished speaking, looking completely non-aggressive.
In fact, these two simple sentences have already revealed Concubine Chen and told Zhao Luan that she was raised by Concubine Chen, which is much better than the Jiang Anbo Mansion.
He also told Zhao Luan that Xia Jieyao was so sensible because no one hurt her.
And she was already loved by others, so why couldn't she cry when she was in pain?
Xia Jieyao smiled: "What Concubine Chen said is certainly reasonable.
Sister Can is a lucky one."
"Sister Ah Yao is also blessed." Li Can's dark eyes looked at her sincerely: "Not only do you have your own mother, but you also have Princess Changle, your godmother who is better than your own mother. Both mothers love you at the same time.
Unlike me, I don’t have a mother.”
She said, looking at Xia Jieyao enviously.
That being said, she actually didn't envy Xia Jie Yao at all.
Xia Jieyao stayed at Princess Changle's Mansion all year round and had almost no contact with Jiang Anbo's Mansion.
In this regard, although it cannot be concluded that Xia Jieyao's mother-in-law does not love her, it can at least be seen that the relationship between Xia Jieyao and her mother-in-law is not good.
Li Can thought, if her mother was still alive, let alone the eldest princess, even if the queen wanted her to be her goddaughter, it would be impossible for her to leave her mother and accompany her in the palace.
"What do you mean by sister Can?" Xia Jieyao's eyes quickly filled with tears, looking very hurt: "Sister, are you laughing at me? Isn't my relationship with my own mother close?"
"Aren't sister A'yao and your own mother close?" Li Can's black and white phoenix eyes widened, and he shook his head innocently: "I don't know, sister A'yao coaxed me, right? How could anyone
Are you not close to your own mother?"
She did it on purpose, just to laugh at Xia Jieyao.
Xia Jieyao has already allowed Zhao Luan to target her like this. If she gives in further, it will only make them think that she is easy to bully and will push her further.
