"Mr. He." Li Can interrupted her: "Marriage is a matter of mutual consent between the parents.
Aunt Han just made a suggestion and did not force you to agree.
If you don’t want to, just make it clear, so why bother?”
"She has always plotted against your fifth sister." He argued: "Your fifth sister is young and naive. She doesn't consider her as her daughter. In fact, she lures your fifth sister into a trap by relying on her son's appearance and good birth.
Now your fifth sister is going against me in everything, and it’s all her instigation!”
"It's so pathetic, how can I have so many thoughts..." Mrs. Han started crying again: "I'm just not lucky enough to have a daughter. Seeing that the fifth sister is so lovable, I want to get closer to her. I don't think so.
How bad..."
She cried and wanted to sit on the ground again.
Li Can hurriedly pulled her: "I won't even mention what happened before.
Today, tell me clearly in front of me, Mr. He, do you disagree with this marriage?"
"Of course I don't agree." He didn't hesitate.
"Well, Aunt Han, Mr. He has already expressed his position." Li Can turned to Mr. Han: "Aunt Han, please don't mention this again, okay?"
Han looked around. Although she was unwilling to give in, there was nothing she could do. She nodded and said, "If she doesn't want to, how can I force her?"
"Then it's settled." Li Can waved his hand: "Mr. He, please go back to the courtyard first."
Mr. He was extremely dissatisfied with the tone of her instructions, but he could only endure it.
What can she do?
There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Now Li Can has half a foot in the East Palace. No one dares to disrespect her in the slightest.
After Mr. He left, Li Can calmed down and persuaded Ms. Han with a smile: "Aunt Han, wait a few more months and it will be autumn.
Brother Chen’s studies are so serious on weekdays. My brother always praises him for his knowledge. Brother Chen’s family will definitely be able to pass high school.
When the time comes to choose a son-in-law from the list, the Chen family's brother is good-looking and many wealthy families are trying to get him to be their son-in-law. Are you still worried that you won't have a good daughter-in-law?"
She said and looked at Chen Nianli with a smile.
Chen Nianli blushed, a little embarrassed and shy, and didn't know where to put his hands.
He never thought that Li Can, who had become the quasi-princess, would be so approachable and would comfort his mother in this way.
He didn't even want to admit that this was his mother.
Li Can is really... really good.
Only someone as noble as the current prince can be worthy of her, right?
When Mrs. Han heard what Li Can said, she immediately felt very happy: "With the Crown Princess's good words, if that day comes, I will definitely thank the Marquis of Jing'an for the cultivation."
"You're welcome, this is what our family should do." Li Can smiled and waved his hand: "It's nothing, my eldest aunt and I will leave first.
If you need anything in the future, my aunt can just ask your maid to come and talk to me or my eldest aunt."
The Han family was naturally grateful and sent their uncle and nephew out of the courtyard.
"Mr. Han's heart is really big." Ms. Lin looked back and said with a smile: "I'm just staring at your fifth sister."
"Yes." Li Can nodded in agreement, then smiled and said: "However, Chen Nianli is a person who strives for success. He will wait until he actually passes the exam.
I’m afraid the Han family doesn’t like Li Lainan anymore.”
"It's true." Mrs. Lin nodded: "The Han family is doing everything for their sons.
I am also a mother, and I can actually understand that she has nothing and can only do her best."
"Yes." Li Can nodded: "Most mothers in the world are willing to sacrifice everything for their children.
It’s a pity that my children may not appreciate it.”
Lin laughed when he heard this: "Where did you hear these words?
Although he is not a big person, he has a lot of emotions.”
Li Can also laughed: "No one told me, don't I think Chen Nianli is quite ungrateful?
But if Han is like that, it would be difficult for me to win her favor."
Lin smiled and nodded: "Yes.
By the way, Xin'er, the Queen Mother's birthday will be in three days, what do you think our family should prepare as a gift?"
"What kind of gifts does our family prepare?" Li Can wondered: "Is there a banquet in the palace?"
She has never heard the news.
"Silly boy." Mrs. Lin laughed: "Have you forgotten who you are?
The Queen Mother refuses to be extravagant, so every year on her birthday, Her Majesty holds a family banquet in the palace.
This year, you are engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince, and you are not allowed to go with His Highness to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother on her birthday?"
Li Can suddenly realized: "Oh, it's true."
"I think this is your first time to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." Mrs. Lin continued: "How about we prepare a more expensive gift and bring it to you?"
Li Can thought about it and shook his head: "No, just ordinary things."
"Will the Queen Mother be displeased?" Mrs. Lin was worried.
"The Queen Mother wants to ask Song Guangyao to be the Crown Prince's concubine." Li Can said slowly: "I could tell on the day of the concubine selection that the Queen Mother was not happy with me.
Maybe she doesn't like the mother-in-law, and she doesn't like me as well, or maybe she's afraid that I will bully Song Guangyao in the future.
Even if I brought her valuable things, she still doesn’t like me, so why should I?”
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she suddenly felt sad: "What should we do? If the Queen Mother doesn't like you, will it embarrass you?
Otherwise, our rituals should be more precious and we should not look at the monk’s face but the Buddha’s face..."
"No need." Li Can shook his head: "Auntie, don't worry.
It’s not like I’m in front of her every day. When it’s her birthday, I’ll go and deal with it and then come back.”
"That's fine." Ms. Lin became increasingly uneasy: "Then remember, on that day, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and follow His Highness closely."
She knew that Zhao Zong would not let Li Can be harmed in any way.
"Okay." Li Can agreed obediently.
Mrs. Lin raised her hand to call for someone, and just as she was about to tell her to go down and collect the gifts, a servant came running ahead to report: "Madam, Miss Seven, someone is coming from the East Palace."
Li Can raised his eyes and looked behind him.
From a distance, Wuhuang was holding a tray, followed by several people, also holding trays.
There were clothes and jewelry on it.
Wuhuang stepped forward and bowed first: "Seventh girl, Madam.
His Royal Highness the Prince asked the younger one to bring clothes and jewelry to the girl.
It’s the Queen Mother’s birthday in three days’ time and the girl will wear it when she enters the palace.”
"Okay." Li Can raised his hand.
Candy immediately led someone forward and picked up the things.
"Girl." Wuhuang raised his head and looked at her with a smile: "Your Highness asked the younger one to take the lead. There is no need for the girl to prepare gifts. The East Palace has prepared them for the girl.
On that day, His Highness will personally pick up the girl and take her to the palace together."
"Yes." Li Can nodded in agreement: "I understand."
"Then you guys have to take your leave." Wuhuang bowed again.
After Li Can was sure, he led the people back out.
"His Royal Highness is so thoughtful." Ms. Lin looked at the clothes.
"Auntie, do you want to take a look?" Li Can casually took a piece of outer clothing and unfolded it to take a look.
The thin brocade of Xiziqing uses bright gold lines to outline a light and soaring Luan bird. The cyan is restrained and the golden Luan is noble. The two are in one place and complement each other.
"So beautiful!" Candy couldn't help but admire.
Mrs. Lin also nodded and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had good taste."
She smiled happily.
His Highness the Crown Prince is a careful person. Xin'er's status is different now, and the clothes and jewelry sent by His Highness the Crown Prince are also different from before.
In the past, the dresses sent by the East Palace were mostly in the light pink color of the youngest daughter's house, and the patterns were lively and lively. Now this dress is a solemn blue with appropriate patterns, which is a perfect match for Xin'er.
Three days later, in the evening, Zhao Ji came to the door in person to take Li Can into the palace to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
