Chapter 227 Why Did Sister-in-law Cry?
Those who have been educated will know what it means as soon as they hear this, but Lingxi is just a little girl, who wants to get so much, she just snorted: "I just want to find my brother, let me in!"

The palace maid hesitated a little, Princess Lingxi was the most delicate person in this dynasty, a figure held in the hands of both the emperor and the crown prince, how could she offend a little servant girl.

He was hesitating whether to let it go, when he heard the faint voice of His Royal Highness: "Princess, please come in."

Lingxi gave the maid a "you idiot" look, and then rushed into the room with her skirt in hand: "Brother!"

As soon as she stepped into the door, she was stunned: "Sister-in-law—"

Zhao Xiwei's face was flushed, his temple hair was slightly disheveled, and his almond eyes were full of mist. He looked as if he had just suffered a serious illness, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be no abnormality.

Without even thinking about it, Lingxi asked, "Did brother bully you?"

"..."

Zhao Xiwei almost choked on the tea while holding it.

Li Xuanye frowned, and looked at Lingxi with a somewhat stern look: "Lingxi."

Lingxi did not show weakness: "I said, it was my idea to build a snowman, and I pestered my sister-in-law to go, why do you still blame my sister-in-law!"

Li Xuanye was stunned for a moment: "When did I blame her?"

Lingxi snorted: "Then why is sister-in-law crying?"

Li Xuanye looked at Zhao Xiwei, saw that the blush on her face hadn't faded, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and said without changing expression: "Your sister-in-law sprained her ankle, and she cried because it hurt too much when you took the medicine."

"Oh?" Lingxi looked at Zhao Xiwei suspiciously.

Zhao Xiwei could only nod guiltily.

Li Xuanye simply changed the subject: "You came to the East Palace today to see Dr. Gu?"

As expected, Lingxi's attention was drawn away: "Yes, brother, how do you know, did sister-in-law tell you?"

Li Xuanye glanced at Zhao Xiwei with a strange expression: "Do you still need others to say? When did Gu Hansu come forward, and you ran back to the East Palace?"

Lingxi suddenly lost his righteousness: "Then I miss his hawthorn fruit..."

Li Xuanye frowned, and his expression became more and more serious.

There was a hint of warning in his voice: "Men and women are different, you should keep a distance from Gu Hansu."

Lingxi's eyes widened, full of confusion: "What do you mean by brother? Lingxi's body has been treated by Dr. Gu all these years, why do you suddenly want me to keep a distance from him?"

Li Xuanye did not answer.

Lingxi hurriedly asked: "Then what should I do if I'm sick? Can't I see Dr. Gu?"

Li Xuanye's voice was gentle, but there was no room for negotiation: "Lingxi, you will soon be 15 years old, and you should not hang out with another man. In the future, if you are sick, there will be an imperial doctor for you. Even if you need to ask Gu Hansu, I will also accompany him, and I will not let you meet him alone again, remember?"

Lingxi's eyes were red: "What is the difference between men and women? Gu Hansu is my friend! Could it be that I can't even see my friends when I grow up?"

Seeing Lingxi's grievance, Li Xuanye couldn't bear it, so he softened his voice and said: "Lingxi, you can have your own friends, or you can be friends with Gu Hansu, but my brother also hopes that you can keep a distance from him, don't Forget who you are."

Lingxi's voice raised slightly: "What is my identity? I'm a princess, can't I have friends?"

Li Xuanye squatted down in front of Lingxi, and said in a gentle and slow voice: "Lingxi, you know that brother doesn't mean that. What I mean is, you are a princess, and he is a grassroots, you really shouldn't get too close—"

"I don't want to hear it!" Lingxi suddenly covered her ears, tears streaming down her eyes, she cried and looked at Li Xuanye: "You just don't let me see him again, is that what you mean?"

Li Xuanye was startled.

He obviously didn't expect Lingxi's reaction to be so great.

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly got up and walked over, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and persuaded softly: "Princess, please speak slowly..."

Before he finished speaking, Lingxi was crying sadly, and the angry words blurted out without thinking: "Shut up! It's not your turn to talk about this princess!"

Li Xuanye's face darkened, and his voice was suddenly cold and harsh: "Lingxi, what are you talking about!"

"Did I say something wrong? This is the private matter of this princess, and it's not her turn to say it to an outsider!"

"She is your sister-in-law, the canonized concubine." Li Xuanye stretched out his hand to protect Zhao Xiwei in front of him, with a very serious expression: "You say such words, not only disrespecting your sister-in-law, but also disrespecting your brother. disrespect."

His voice is not high, but it is no longer as gentle as before, full of frightening pressure: "I told you since I was a child, you are a princess, you can be proud but not arrogant, you can have personality but not willful. Such a mistake , I can forgive you once, but I don't want to have another time, do you understand?"

Lingxi was brought up pampered since she was a child, even if Li Xuanye was stricter with her, she never said such harsh words.

She cried louder with a "wow": "You are a bad brother, you have changed, you are no longer a good brother who loves Lingxi..."

Li Xuanye didn't speak, but frowned even deeper.

Zhao Xiwei turned around silently, and after a while brought warm water from a golden basin, rolled up his sleeves, wrung out the towel, and handed it to Li Xuanye.

Li Xuanye's eyes flickered, and he looked at her for a while, but he didn't say anything, he just took the towel and wiped away the tears on Lingxi's face little by little.

Lingxi cried more and more sadly, still sobbing: "Bad brother...you are a bad brother...you don't like Lingxi anymore..."

Zhao Xiwei sighed inwardly.

Lingxi lost her mother when she was born, and has been dependent on Li Xuanye since she was a child. To her, Li Xuanye is not only a brother, but also the only role in her life that she can be attached to.

Fourteen or fifteen years old is the age to show your sharpness.

Li Xuanye's sudden and forceful interference in her life would definitely backfire.

Girls at this age need to be persuasive and persuasive.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Li Xuanye.

It wasn't that he was impatient with Consonance, but that he didn't know what the little girl was thinking.

He is smart and calm, and most of the people he comes into contact with are those old and cunning courtiers in the court. Even if he needs to strategize, he never needs to consider the other party's emotions.

——After all, there is no old fox in the DPRK who would burst into tears at the slightest disagreement...

Therefore, even though he was clever, he still didn't know how to get along with the little girl.

If things go on like this, let alone not being able to change Lingxi's mind, it will push Lingxi farther and farther.

Thinking of this, she said softly to Li Xuanye: "Your Highness, can I talk to Lingxi?"

Li Xuanye was taken aback: "You?"

"Yes." Zhao Xiwei nodded confidently: "We are all women, so maybe we can talk a few words."

Li Xuanye thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to touch Lingxi's head, and said very gently: "Lingxi, if it's inconvenient to say something to your brother, it's the same to tell your sister-in-law."

After speaking, without waiting for Lingxi's response, he turned and left the bedroom.
