Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 10
The afternoon was the hottest time of the day. In the courtyard of the Li Mansion, several pots of petunia brought from Songyang were sunburned and their petals were drooping.

Li Ying has the habit of taking a nap after lunch, but today, for some reason, her feet didn't go to the boudoir, but went to the front yard disobediently.

The front yard was supposed to be empty, but at this moment, it was surrounded by several floors inside and out. There were a few servants from Li's residence, and most of them were the attendants brought by Xiao Lian.

Their eyes were filled with anticipation, probably because everyone present had heard of Prince Zhong's battles on the battlefield, he was almost unbeaten, and his martial arts were so strong that they were unmatched in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty.However, since the prince returned to Beijing from the frontier to take over the Three Law Departments, everyone has never had the chance to witness it with their own eyes.

I don't know where the prince's interest came from today. He who hasn't made a move for a long time wants to ask his future brother-in-law for some advice. After hearing the news, all the people present are looking forward to it and are all excited.

The two standing in the middle are the protagonists of this gesture - Xiao Lian and Li Xuan.

Xiao Lian was eight years older than Li Xuan. One could see that his physique was that of a person who practiced martial arts all year round. His shoulders were broad and his waist was thin, his lower body was motionless, and his arms were powerful.

On the other hand, what about Li Xuan? The 12-year-old had just had a cane, with thin arms and legs, and looked a little weak in front of the tall Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan's eyes were shining, without the slightest fear.

"Drunk lying on the battlefield Lord Mo Xiao, how many people have fought in ancient times." When Li Xuan read this poem for the first time, he felt that his blood was boiling. National hero.

His parents didn't let him practice martial arts, he had never learned a single move seriously, and he secretly practiced all those three-legged cat kung fu from the script and his imagination.

Xiao Lian naturally wouldn't really fight him, he said, "Come on, you make a move, I won't make a move."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Xuan unceremoniously threw a right uppercut, and Xiao Lian easily dodged it.

Li Xuan was not discouraged, he aimed at the opportunity, and made another leg sweep from the book.

But Xiao Lian easily escaped by jumping up with both feet off the ground.

Next, Li Xuan successively used moves such as bumping the forehead, grabbing the wrist and hitting the throat, turning around and hitting the elbow, all of which were blocked by Xiao Lian effortlessly.

After a stick of incense, Xiao Lian's hair was not messed up, but Li Xuan was already out of breath and sweating profusely.

Li Ying watched from the sidelines anxiously, what should I do if my brother suffers from heat stroke in this hot weather?

But with so many people around, it's not easy for her to let brother admit defeat directly, which would save his face.

Li Ying was struggling in his heart, when he suddenly heard a burst of admiration from the people around him, it turned out that Xiao Lian signaled to stop, but Li Xuan still did not give up and asked to continue the competition.

Xiao Lian agreed.I saw Li Xuan circling Xiao Lian round and round, making everyone faint, Li Xuan aimed at the right moment and threw a straight punch at Xiao Lian. At the moment of the state, he mustered all his strength and used the "high whip kick" that he had seen in the book, and kicked Xiao Lian hard on the head!
Li Ying's heart was in his throat instantly!

She quickly analyzed the consequences of Li Xuan's move in her mind: Xiao Lian still had a way to dodge, but Li Xuan would lean forward because of his unstable center of gravity. There is a big water tank, Li Xuan is very likely to hit the big water tank, at least his forehead will be injured, and at worst his head will explode!
"Stop!" At the very moment, Ying yelled while pushing aside the crowd and rushing towards Li Xuan recklessly.

Li Ying's judgment was correct. Although Xiao Lian hadn't regained his alertness due to the straight punch, his rich experience in actual combat allowed him to continue moving outwards. Li Xuan, who had lost his center of gravity, was about to knock down the water tank. .

In the blink of an eye, two fingers appeared under Li Xuan's legs, firmly catching him and making him stop leaning forward.

Li Ying stopped when she wanted to hold Li Xuan's hand, looking at the scene in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Xiao Lian who caught brother.

After straightening Li Xuan, Xiao Lian said, "Let's stop here for today." Li Xuan was still a little confused, and nodded obediently.

The gesture came to an end without any risk, and everyone talked about it, some praised Li Xuan, and of course, they admired Xiao Lian more.

"The lord is really hiding something deep. Just now, he only used two fingers to catch Mr. Li's whole body strength. It can be seen that his skill is profound."

"That's right, although Young Master Li's moves are chaotic, he often takes the edge of his sword and surprises him by surprise, but the prince can always predict his predictions, it's like a god's help!"

"In my opinion, Mr. Li is only twelve years old. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although every move has no rules, it finally forced the prince to take action. He is also a malleable talent!"

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Xiao Lian bid farewell to Li Huan in front of the mansion: "Master Li, I'm bothering you today, if there is a chance, I will visit another day."

"My lord is very polite, I will send you off to my lord."

Li Ying's heart was still pounding because of the near miss just now. She was tired of Xiao Lian asking for trouble to compete with Li Xuan, but also had to thank him for saving him at the critical moment. Xiao Lian blessed his body: "My lord, go slowly."

Xiao Lian nodded to her.

Li Xuan on the side was fine, he changed his previous hostility towards Xiao Lian, and looked at Xiao Lian with a smile. Now he only has one thought in his mind-to practice martial arts with his brother-in-law!

Li Xuan thought so, and blurted out: "Brother-in-law, teach me martial arts."

As soon as the words came out, Li Huan and Li Ying shouted at the same time: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Only then did Li Xuan realize that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly covered his mouth and shrank into a corner.

Li Ying said embarrassingly: "Brother, he is ignorant, don't be offended, my lord."

There was a faint smile on Xiao Lian's face: "It's okay, there are no taboos in children's words."

Sending off Xiao Lian, the half-day of flying around was finally over. In just half a day, Li Ying felt that she had experienced too many things and was exhausted physically and mentally.

I thought today was a good day for reading, dreaming, and taking a good nap, but Xiao Lian's unexpected arrival and that damned edict washed away her original leisurely mood.

At this hour, Li Ying couldn't fall asleep even though she was lying on Ba Bu's bed.The engagement was imminent, how could she be in the mood to sleep!Li Ying thought over and over how to break the situation, and finally got up straight away, meditating on the bed.

She closed her eyes and calmly analyzed the current situation: First, her parents are still alive and have not entered the palace, so there is still a chance for everything.

Second, the decree is to bestow marriage, not death, so she needn't be too anxious.

Third, since ancient times, there are not a few people who get engaged first and remarry after three to five years. Why doesn't she try?
correct!It has always been a custom in the palace to send the horoscopes of the royal family and the person to be married to the Lingshan Taoist Temple, and ask the masters there to combine them to see if the horoscopes are compatible, and to calculate when to get married.

Go there and give it a try, maybe there will be a turning point!

*
The next day, Lingshan Taoist Temple.

A carriage with light yellow tassels was parked at the door.A woman slowly stepped down from the carriage. Although she was wearing a thick veil on her head, her face could not be seen clearly, but the graceful posture of the slender waist and light steps, with bright wrists and light veils, must have been covered by the veil. Underneath must also be a peerless beauty.

The little Taoist priest led the way, and the woman was led into the temple. When the woman finally took off her veil, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but stare blankly.

What catches the eyes are two curved willow leaf eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are already smiling, because the owner of these eyes is smiling at him, they turned into two crescent crescents, and further down, they are as delicate and beautiful as cherries There is a deep dimple dotted on both sides of the dripping lips.

"Ahem..." The maidservant beside her, Hsinchu, coughed a few times, the little Taoist Fang woke up like a dream, realized his gaffe, flushed his cheeks with shame, and apologized hastily.

"Little Master, is Master Sifang here?" Li Ying asked softly.

The little Taoist lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and replied: "The benefactor offends, the master doesn't see visitors easily."

Li Ying had long heard that this Sifang master was famous and would not show up easily, so she gritted her teeth and said this sentence: "Can you let me know that it is Princess Zhongqin who is visiting?"

At this time, I have to borrow Xiao Lian's name. I think he will forgive me for what I did.

The little Taoist was really taken aback, and then replied: "Please allow me to pass the word, sir, please go to the tea room to rest first."

After Li Ying was led to a tea room by the little Taoist priest, he waited for about half a cup of tea, when someone knocked on the door outside the tea room.

It seemed that Master Sifang was willing to show up. Li Ying was very happy, she got up in a hurry, and opened the door with a "wow".

But when she saw the person standing outside the door, Li Ying's polite smile turned into a face full of surprise in an instant.

"What are you!"

The person who came was not a little Taoist priest, nor a master of Sifang, but Xiao Lian, whom I had just met yesterday.

Seeing the expression on Li Ying's face, Xiao Lian slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Who do you think it is?"
