Chapter 7 Reunion
Xiao Lian was being interrogated by the Three Jurisdictions when someone came to report that the Queen Mother in the palace had sent a message. The original words were as follows: "Lian'er, if you don't come to the palace to see, your fiancée will be killed by Concubine Rong." Bullying is dead."

When Xiao Lian heard the words, he left the table in a hurry, leaving everyone looking at each other in blank dismay, without saying, "This king wants to leave first, you continue."

Everyone was whispering and discussing, what could make Prince Zhong leave in the middle of the Trial Trial?Could it be His Majesty calling urgently?

Xiao Lian was so anxious that he whipped his horse all the way to the outside of the palace gate, threw the whip at the palace people, and stepped inside like a gust of wind.

When he arrived outside the Changchun Palace, Xiao Lian's inner garment was already soaked, he panted slightly, and made some adjustments before walking in.

There were very few palace people outside the palace today, so no one informed Prince Zhong of his visit.

Xiao Lian walked outside the gate of the palace, and vaguely heard conversations coming from inside. He sneered in his heart when he heard "Once he gains power, the whole family will enjoy happiness". The four characters of "color makes wisdom faint".

Xiao Lian pushed open the palace door with a "wow", and asked with a stern face unceremoniously: "Who is the imperial concubine saying that she is blind?"

Concubine Rong was taken aback inside. Xiao Lian had always been against her, and she was caught talking ill of him. Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
It's just that Concubine Rong has never seen any scene, she quickly put away her guilty conscience and looked surprised: "Isn't this Prince Zhong, what kind of wind brought you here today?"

"Your concubine, let me tell you first, why is my fiancée in Changchun Palace?"

"Tsk tsk, the imperial edict has not yet been issued, the prince has one fiancée, I am ashamed to hear this." The maids in the palace snickered.

"The imperial concubine's words are wrong. The imperial decree is just to add to the icing on the cake of your majesty's marriage. I, Xiao Lian, am determined to marry her, and she is my fiancée."

"That's right, I didn't realize that the loyal prince is very affectionate. Today I just invited Mrs. Li to the Changchun Palace for a talk. Why is the prince chasing after him like an eyeball?"

"If I don't come here in person, how can I have a chance to hear how the imperial concubine arranges us behind the scenes?" Xiao Lian sarcastically said with a smile on his face.

The imperial concubine's expression gradually became ugly: "I'm just joking, the future loyal princess is so beautiful, who would not say a word about beauty when she sees it?"

"The beauty of a woman is a gift from heaven, not a sin. What the imperial concubine said about her sex making her stupid and her beauty a disaster are just dirty tricks for incompetent men to push their faults on innocent women. Since the imperial concubine is in charge of the harem on her behalf, it is appropriate Be careful with what you say and do, and lead by example.”

"You..." Xiao Lian's words were hidden, and Concubine Rong became angry for a while, and wanted to refute something but couldn't answer.

"Since the imperial concubine has no other orders, this king will take people away first and leave." Xiao Lian said, carefully lifted Li Ying from the chair, and led her away from Changchun Palace without looking back.

The two walked on the palace road wordlessly one after the other, Li Ying shook his arms awkwardly: "That...can you let me go?"

It was only then that Xiao Lian realized that he was still holding her arm tightly, and he quickly let go: "I was impatient just now, so I'm taking the liberty."

"Your lord...why did you come here?"

"Grandmother sent me word."

"In the future, I don't need to bother the lord, the servants can handle it by themselves." Li Ying didn't want to owe him anything.

"What are you talking about? You are the king's fiancée, how can I ignore you?"

Only now did Li Ying see that Xiao Lian's neckline was wet a lot, it seemed that he came here in a hurry.She averted her eyes, unwilling to delve into it further.

"Is what the prince said in the palace just now really what you thought?"

"Which one?"

"The beauty is a dirty way for incompetent men to push their faults onto innocent women."

"Of course it's the truth."

Xiao Lian answered as a matter of course.Looking at the civil and military affairs of the whole court, it is estimated that those who can have this kind of thinking can count on one finger.

At this moment, Li Ying suddenly thought, although this person is ruthless, he seems to be clear about some things.

This man is really contradictory.

"My lord, there is something that I have been unable to understand."

"What's the matter?"

"why me?"

Xiao Lian seemed to be prepared for this question, he smiled lightly: "I'm still thinking, when will you ask me this question."

"So, the prince also thinks this marriage is incredible?"

"How can it be unbelievable, this is what I strive for."

Li Ying was quite surprised: "And why?"

"Can you tell a causal cycle for everything in this world?" Xiao Lian asked back.

Li Ying shook her head when she remembered the matter of rebirth.

"That's the reason why I can't answer why you want to marry you. But I just want to marry you, and all of this is the result of following my own will."

Li Ying nodded with a half understanding.

Seeing her appearance, Xiao Lian also knew that she would not understand for a while, but it didn't matter, they had plenty of time.

"By the way, have you packed your luggage yet?"

"Ah."

"I'll take you out of the palace."

"Don't bother, I can handle it myself."

"I heard that you fainted in Changchun Palace just now, don't worry, this king will seek justice for you sooner or later."

Li Ying blushed a little, and whispered, "That's what I pretended..."

Xiao Lian turned his head to look at her in surprise: "So I underestimated you."

"The courtier has said that the prince does not need to worry about these trivial matters."

"Let's take you back home, anyway, there's nothing to do today."

"It's really unnecessary."

"I don't look well today, and I won't have time to take care of one or two in the future. I will take you to the door. I will leave as soon as you get off the carriage, and I won't come to visit you."

When it came to this point, Li Ying had no choice but to agree.

When the two went to Renshou Palace to bid farewell to the queen mother, the queen mother couldn't hold back her tears, sobbing, she told Li Ying to take good care of herself after leaving the palace, and to come into the palace from time to time to accompany her, and told Xiao Lian to protect Li Ying well. , don't let her be wronged.

It was nearly dusk when the two came out of Renshou Palace.

*
As the evening approached, the early summer wind was refreshing.

Sitting in the spacious carriage, Li Ying felt unspeakably excited at the thought of seeing her parents and brother soon.

But the looming face outside the curtain always reminded her of the tragedy of her previous life.

How to get rid of his entanglement, Li Ying was very tormented.

The carriage turned a corner and reached Changning Street, Li Ying poked his head out and saw not far away his father Li Huan, his mother Zhao Minyi and younger brother Li Xuan waiting in front of the house.

"My lord, send it here."

"Okay, I'll come back another day."

After watching Xiao Lian leave, she couldn't wait for the driver to stop the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards the three of them: "Father, mother, brother, I'm back!"

Younger brother Li Xuan bumped into her arms: "Sister, I miss you so much!"

Li Ying's eyes were already filled with tears. To them, it was just a few days since they had seen each other, but to her, the family reunion was already a matter of a distant past life.

But before Li Ying touched Adi's head and loved him dearly, Li Ying saw a big hand grabbing Adi's collar and lifted Li Xuan up in the air.

It was Xiao Lian who had gone and returned.

Li Ying's heart rose to her throat for an instant, and she said angrily, "Xiao Lian! What are you doing!"

Xiao Lian had already turned the corner of Changning Street, but he always wanted to take another look reluctantly, but unexpectedly saw the scene of Li Xuan throwing himself into Li Ying's arms.

Is this okay?Xiao Lian immediately turned his horse's head and stopped him.He originally wanted to teach this future brother-in-law a lesson, even though he is still young, he still needs to understand the principle of whether a man and a woman should kiss each other.

It's just that Li Ying didn't expect such a big reaction.

Xiao Lian put down Li Xuan, who was thumping non-stop in his hand, in a daze, and looked at Li Ying in puzzlement.

Only then did Li Ying realize that he had overreacted, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.

It was originally a scene of joy and joy, but this little episode made the atmosphere almost freezing.

Seeing this, Li Huan hurriedly stepped forward to exchange greetings: "If I guess correctly, it is His Royal Highness Prince Zhong?"

Xiao Lian looked away and replied, "It's my lord, Mr. Li. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I have to rely on Prince Zhong to take care of my family when I move, which saves me a lot of trouble. I have never had a chance. Today, I would like to express my deep gratitude." Li Huan was about to bend down as he said this, but was stopped by Xiao Lian.

"Master Li, you don't have to be polite, it's all my duty."

"Since you're here, why don't you sit in the mansion, the mansion doesn't need a palace, it's a bit rudimentary, I hope the prince doesn't dislike it."

"How could it be? It's just that I came here in a hurry today. I don't have time to prepare a congratulatory gift in the future. Let's wait another day."

Li Huan wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Li Ying: "Father, the prince has official duties, so there is no need to forcefully keep him."

"Okay, since that's the case, then you are busy, my lord, and we will talk about it another day."

"Farewell." Xiao Lian got on his horse, this time, he really left without looking back.

Li Ying, on the other hand, stood there and watched his receding figure, his thoughts racing.

 Please little cuties pass by and squeak!Let me see you guys!heart to heart~
