Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 13
The air was full of the dullness before the thunderstorm. Zhao Minying's shocking and weeping speech had just finished, and there was a loud thunder outside, "Boom—" as if it landed on top of her head.

Zhao Minying's heart skipped a beat, and she looked towards the door. At this time, the daylight was covered by dark clouds, and the light was dim. At some point, there was a woman's voice standing at the door, silently, like a ghost.

"Ah!" Zhao Minying jumped out of the chair in fright, without the slightest demeanor of Mrs. Hou Fu.

That ghost was not someone else, it was Li Ying who was standing at the door and listening to the corner of the wall just now.

Seeing that Zhao Minying was so frightened, Li Ying covered her mouth and snickered, then walked into the front hall generously, mockingly said: "Look, it scares you, is it because you have done too many bad things?"

Zhao Minyi also had fun in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, saying: "Ying'er, don't be rude. This is your aunt."

"Aunt?" Li Ying feigned surprise, "Ying'er doesn't know that I have an aunt."

Zhao Minying regained her composure, widened her eyes and took a closer look, only to realize that the shadow at the door just now was not a ghost, but Li Ying who she said was "a pity".

Zhao Minying realized her gaffe, and immediately put on a warm expression: "Ying'er, when you were just born, I even hugged you! In the blink of an eye, you've become so juicy."

Zhao Minying spoke beautifully, but her eyes were unabashedly looking up and down at Li Ying, secretly surprised by her beauty.All along, she thought that her youngest daughter, Cao Wenxian, was considered a beauty, but compared with this Li Ying, she was actually much inferior.

It's a pity that she came from a low family background, no matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't catch the emperor's eyes, so she could only marry the loyal prince who was called "Living Hades" and no one dared to marry.

The look in Zhao Minying's eyes made Li Ying feel very uncomfortable, she was not someone to pick and choose.

"Oh, Ying'er doesn't remember such a person."

Li Ying's tone was not polite at all, but Zhao Minyi added fuel to the fire: "It's normal not to remember, you were so young at that time, and then your aunt and her family moved to the capital, and gradually lost contact. Now you can It's good to come back enthusiastically, Ying'er, you don't know, just now your aunt was still feeling sorry for you."

"Oh? What a pity?"

"It's a pity that you didn't get selected as the show girl."

The mother and daughter sang together, and Zhao Minying looked a little embarrassed.

It's just that Zhao Minying has been the wife of the Hou Mansion for so long, and has been in the circle of Beijing for a long time. Apart from other skills, her thick-skinned skills are definitely second-to-none.

She put on a smile: "Ying'er, you have been in Songyang, you may not have heard of the reputation of the loyal prince, but my aunt has heard that he..."

"What about him?"

"He kills without blinking an eye!"

Li Ying: "So that's how it is. Then you have to be careful, Auntie, don't get caught by him."

Although Li Ying didn't want to marry Xiao Lian, but Zhao Minying belittled and ridiculed her so openly and secretly, no one would listen to her.

Zhao Minying saw that Li Ying didn't eat anything, so she lost interest while talking.

"Sister, it's getting late, my sister will take my leave today, and you will come to Xuanping Hou Mansion as guests someday!"

Li Ying yawned and stood up to see off the guests.

Before leaving, Zhao Minying looked around again, seeing that Li's mansion was small and decorated with simple decorations, not even a decent antique jade, she felt even more contemptuous.

It's just a wild girl who came to the city from the countryside and once climbed a high branch. How can she be compared with the Xuanping Hou Mansion?It's worth noting that I didn't come this time.

When Zhao Minying stepped out of the gate of Li's house, the sudden thunderstorm had stopped, and there were some water stains on the ground. Zhao Minying slipped on her foot, and with a sound of "ouch", she bumped into someone head-on.

"Who doesn't have eyes!" A shrill voice blamed.

Zhao Minying looked at the person again, and hurriedly apologized: "Eunuch Feng, my wife has no eyes, and she ran into you."

It was Feng Bao who came.

Zhao Minying was about to flatter her a few words when she saw a man standing not far away. Although this man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was unparalleled in handsomeness, but his expression was solemn and serious, and he exuded an aura that strangers should not enter.

When Zhao Minying smelled a bloody smell wafting from the air, she shuddered suddenly. This might be the "Living Hades".

Feng Bao recognized that this was Xuan Pinghou's stepmother: "Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Hou. Fortunately, you bumped into an old slave, not a prince."

Zhao Minying took advantage of the situation and saluted Xiao Lian who was not far away: "My lord."

I don't know what kind of light I opened my mouth today, saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.

Xiao Lian nodded and said nothing.

"Why is Mrs. Hou here?" Feng Bao asked.

Zhao Minying hurriedly told Feng Jin that she and the mother of the future princess were sisters. Her voice was not low, making sure that Xiao Lian could hear clearly even when she was not far away.

"So that's the case, this is the first time this old slave has heard of it."

Naturally, Zhao Minying would not tell the whole story, what she wanted was other people's specious guesses.

"Why did Eunuch Feng come here?"

Feng Bao stomped his feet: "I almost forgot the business!" Then he hurriedly called the palace people behind him to unload the valuables from the carriage.

"Be careful! This is prepared by the queen mother herself. If there is any bump, I will take your skin off!"

Zhao Minying opened her eyes wide, looking at the box after box of items unloaded from the eight carriages.

Seeing the surprised and envious expression on Zhao Minying's face, Feng Bao said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou is so lucky, with your sister here, the Xuanping Hou Mansion is just around the corner."

"What did Mr. Feng say?"

Feng Bao lowered his voice and said, "Oh, Madam Hou, you can't see it. Your niece is the one that the prince puts on top of his heart, and the queen mother also treats her as her own granddaughter. No, the prince personally When you came to make an appointment, the Queen Mother personally selected hundreds of rare treasures from the storeroom, and even gave your niece the rare weaving gauze tribute from Suzhou as a wedding dress..."

"Feng Bao, it's getting late, hurry up." Feng Bao chatted endlessly, but was interrupted by Xiao Lian in time.

Today he came to make an engagement, so don't be careless.

Seeing everyone entering Li's mansion under the leadership of Xiao Lian, Zhao Minying was willing to leave, caught up with the bustle, she couldn't see the end.

Zhao Minyi was whispering bad things about Zhao Minying while eating melon seeds with Li Ying, when Hsinchu came to pass on the news, and Prince Zhong came to visit.

Li Ying straightened up from the chair when she heard the words, she quickly shook off the melon seed husks on her body, before she had time to arrange her clothes, Xiao Lian had already entered the front hall.

Li Ying blessed his body: "Hi, my lord."

Xiao Lian glanced at the melon seed shells on the table, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that she was having a good life.

"Aren't you dizzy?"

"Ah?" Xiao Lian didn't say anything, Li Ying had already forgotten about it, "Oh, thank you for your concern, my daughter is well."

"That's good. You haven't forgotten about the engagement, have you?"

……

She wished she could smash her brains and forget about it completely.

Xiao Lian gave Feng Bao a look, and Feng Bao said with a smile on his face: "To Mrs. Li, please greet the girl, the old slave has come to declare to you. Li Shi, the daughter of the loyal prince Xiao Lian and Li Huan, the secretary of the Imperial Academy, is a man of talent and beauty. A match made in heaven, the wedding date is set on September [-]th, and Li will be given ten bolts of cloud gauze and some gold and silver jewellery."

"My daughter thanked the Queen Mother."

Three months is neither long nor short. Li Ying thought optimistically that things might turn around.If it really doesn't work, it's the best policy to learn the 36 tactics, then it will be over once and for all, Li Ying thought to himself.

The sound of palace people moving in "some" rewards brought Li Ying back to reality. Looking at the scene in front of her, she felt very familiar.

As expected of a real grandmother and a real grandson, even the way of giving gifts is equally arrogant.

Li Ying looked puzzled: "My lord, our house really can't accommodate..."

"It's okay, the palace is very big."

He does not mean that.Thinking of the meaning of the words, the two will soon live under the same roof, maybe even... Li Ying glanced awkwardly, not wanting Xiao Lian to see her blushing face.

Obviously the air should be fresh after the thunderstorm, but Li Ying felt that the air around her made it hard for her to breathe, she just wanted to leave quickly, and it happened that Eunuch Feng was directing the palace people to move things, so Li Ying hurriedly went up to greet Eunuch Feng.

"Is the Queen Mother in good health?"

Feng Bao sighed: "Girl also knows that there are good times and bad times, just like the old days."

"The queen mother is auspicious, and she will live a long life."

Xiao Lian clearly listened to the conversation between Li Ying and Feng Bao, and lived a long life. He remembered that he had said the same thing to the Queen Mother.

It's time for her to ask her if she would like to enter the palace.

Li Ying didn't have eyes behind her, but she still clearly felt that he was approaching.

Sure enough, he stood behind her and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to meet the Queen Mother?"

Li Ying didn't know how Xiao Lian made such a normal question so ambiguous, she felt like her hair was going to stand on end.

"What's wrong with your ears?" Xiao Lian sharply saw Li Ying's ears were turning purple.

Li Ying hurriedly turned around: "If the minister is willing, it's up to the lord to arrange. It's getting late, lord, you should go back to the mansion earlier to rest."

Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows, he was chasing away customers.

Well, it's been three months anyway.

After sending Xiao Lian and his party away, Li Ying turned around and found that Zhao Minying hadn't left yet!She actually looked straight at the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Ying sighed: "Auntie, are you going to stay for dinner?"

Zhao Minying woke up like a dream, and quickly explained: "Where, where, I just came to see the excitement. My aunt is gone, Yinger, you must come to my house some other day!"

Li Ying responded with a few words, and finally sent this annoying aunt away.
