Splendid glory of a girl from another world

Chapter 250 Focus
As soon as the ninth princess arrived, she immediately became the focus of attention. The young ladies stopped reciting poems and painting and gathered around her, chatting and laughing.

At this time, Li Qiusui and her sister did not want to attract attention, so they stood at the outermost edge, and Liu smiled at them.

It seems that he has adapted well.

The two sisters became the background board more calmly.

Miss Chen came over again and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "The Ninth Princess is the only legitimate daughter of the current emperor and the Empress, and is even more favored than the princes. I heard that Madam Zheng and the Empress were close friends in the boudoir, so the rumors are true."

Li Qiusui and her sister had naturally heard of this legitimate princess. Since the emperor respected his first wife, it was inevitable that his only child would be favored.

This is the first time I've heard that Madam Zheng and the Queen are close friends.

It is no wonder that the Ninth Princess could come to the Zheng family banquet.

After getting to know Miss Chen, I discovered that she was just as talkative as her mother, Mrs. Chen.

The little girl had no bad intentions. When she talked about gossip, her face turned red with excitement.

Li Qiusui found it interesting and deliberately tried to get others to talk more. "It seems that Zheng Yan and the Ninth Princess have a good relationship. You two are close friends, so you and the Ninth Princess should be good friends too."

"No, no, I just went with Zheng Yan to pay my respects and exchanged a few words." Miss Chen waved her hands. "Although the Ninth Princess is a royal daughter, she has a very kind temper. It's rare for the Queen to let anyone out of the palace. You saw it, I really couldn't squeeze in."

The two sisters laughed so hard that their eyes were bent. This girl is so funny!
Xia He patted Miss Chen on the shoulder to comfort her, "It's okay. We sisters are here with you. The princess is busy, so we won't join in the fun. Who knows, maybe the princess will take a liking to us and ask us to go talk to her later?"

"That's possible. Being surrounded by so many people would be annoying for anyone!" Miss Chen curled her lips.

The three of them were whispering and laughing together.

Over there, Zheng Yan and Zheng Yuan were accompanying the Ninth Princess, and many people were talking around them. Zheng Yan looked over from time to time, but she couldn't hear what the three of them were saying, she only saw them leaning against each other, laughing happily.

The Ninth Princess also became impatient and followed Zheng Yan's line of sight. "That's Miss Chen, right? Why is she standing so far away? Who are the two people talking to her?"

"The two Miss Li from the Yongfeng Earl's family."

"Is it the Li family that grows strawberries?"

Zheng Yan nodded.

"You sound very happy! Go and tell them to come over, and let's go for a walk outside. Let's go back and let the others go."

Zheng Yan came over to call someone, but Li Qiusui didn't pay attention to what was said over there.

All three of them were a little confused.

Zheng Yan had no choice but to repeat the princess' words.

Miss Chen clapped her hands and looked at Xia He with sparkling eyes, "Miss Li is really smart. She guessed it long ago. The princess really called us over."

Zheng Yan knew her friend's temperament well. She was too lazy to ask more questions, "The princess is still waiting over there. Let's hurry up and don't keep her waiting for too long."

Sure enough, the princess sent everyone away and crossed the threshold with Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yan nodded to Li Qiusui, indicating him not to dawdle, and she hurriedly took a few steps to catch up.

What else can Li Qiusui do? Since the princess has called him, he should follow her.

Seeing them go out, some people couldn't sit still anymore and bravely followed them out.

This princess was indeed good-tempered. Li Qiusui only heard her and Zheng Yuan muttering, "Let them do whatever they want. As long as they don't hang around me, they're fine. They made me dizzy just now!"

The separation of men and women in the Great Qi Dynasty was not very strict. At a banquet like this, although male and female guests were separated, the distinction was not really clear.

The group walked out of the guest hall and saw someone in the bamboo forest from afar.

In the middle of winter, a group of young men dressed like scholars were still quite leisurely and leisurely. They set aside a place specifically for brewing tea, drinking tea, and discussing poetry and painting.

Seeing a girl approaching, the voices over there became noticeably more excited.

Li Qiusui and Xia He saw Li Changan in the crowd at a glance, and this situation was not suitable for approaching and talking to him.

Li Changan also saw his elder sister and younger sister, so it would not be appropriate for him to go over rashly.

Those who recognized the Ninth Princess's identity stood up and bowed to greet her.

Zheng Ying was the host today, so he was naturally among them. When he saw Li Qiusui falling at the back, he smiled slightly.

Li Changan followed the crowd, greeted the princess, and gradually moved away from the crowd.

Seeing this, Li Qiusui and her sister followed, and the three of them had a chance to talk alone.

Li Changan, "How can you live with the Ninth Princess? Where's your mother? If anyone makes things difficult for you, can you handle it?"

Xia He smiled and said, "Mother was talking to the ladies, and it was quite lively. We were also familiar with Miss Zheng Wu, and she came out with the princess, so we followed her out."

Then he asked, "What about you? Why didn't you see dad and big brother?"

Li Changan, "All those gathered here are students studying in the academy. We are all fine here too. Dad and eldest brother have been socializing outside a lot nowadays, so they are already familiar with such occasions."

Li Qiusui listened to his brother and sister talking with a smile. When he turned around a flower bed, he met someone unexpectedly.

"Zheng Ying?" Why is he here at this time?
Zheng Ying walked over with a smile and said, "I saw you guys walking this way, so I took a shortcut from the side and came straight over."

It turned out that he was taking a shortcut. It was his own home, so it was easy to take a shortcut.

Li Qiusui asked with a smile, "Is there something urgent going on?"

Otherwise, why would I leave so many guests behind and go after them?

"Can I have a word with you?" Zheng Ying looked at Li Changan. Zheng Ying must be in a hurry, so Li Qiusui urged Li Changan, "Then Fourth Brother, go quickly. We'll just take a walk and be back soon."

Li Changan was not in a good mood towards Zheng Ying and was almost made to cry by his own sister's stupidity.

Zheng Ying's words were obviously directed at Sui Sui, and he wanted to see how this boy would change his words.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Ying was so thick-skinned. He took a deep breath and smiled at Li Qiusui, "Sui Sui, let's talk for a moment."

Li Qiusui? It turned out he was looking for himself.

Li Changan stood between the two of them. He was a little unhappy that Zheng Ying called Li Qiusui by her name. "Mr. Zheng, please be careful with your words!" Can a girl's name be spoken directly? "If you have anything to say, just say it here. I may be able to help you."

Zheng Ying was embarrassed, "Chang'an, this is the Zheng family." The implication was that he was not reckless.

"Can you..."

"No!" Li Changan said firmly.

Do you think you can do whatever you want in your own home? It took a lot of effort to suppress my temper and not say anything more serious.

Li Changan did not give in at all, "There is nothing you can't say to others. You are no longer six or seven-year-old children."

Zheng Ying glanced at Xia He, who also had a serious expression on her face, and compromised, "Okay, let's talk about it here."

Only then did Li Changan stop him.

Li Qiusui blinked, and blinked again.

"Year-old... Miss Li..."

"......" Li Qiusui almost blurted out, "You should just call me by my name, it's awkward." But seeing his fourth brother standing there with a dark face, he stopped talking at the critical moment.

Zheng Ying was a full head taller than Li Qiusui. He suppressed the urge to take another step forward and said, "Wait for me for another two years. Just two years! I will have a say in the family after I have achieved fame. In many matters, especially those concerning myself, my grandfather and father will follow my advice."

In the end, I never said what my grandfather and father had promised.

He was no longer young and ignorant, and could not resort to any tricks. He had to compromise with his family in many matters. It was even more ridiculous for him to want to follow his own wishes.

Li Qiusui: “…”

Li Qiusui was silent. She looked at the boy's face which was gradually turning red, and finally realized that someone had confessed his love to her.
Even though she was cruel and ruthless, she couldn't figure out in a hurry whether she should accept it or refuse it directly.

To put it bluntly, she likes Zheng Ying.

At first, he went to Zheng's house to bring good luck and used his supernatural powers to save people. He watched him grow up, from a sickly and old-fashioned child to the handsome young man he is today.

If you ask me how I feel, it’s more of a feeling of relief as an old mother.

But can I say this directly? Of course not! What if the boy gets frustrated and never recovers? Just seeing him sad will make me feel bad too!

Li Qiusui really worries the old lady!
But how can I express my enthusiastic feelings?

She was hesitating, and Li Changan and Xia He couldn't stand it anymore. They were angry at her for not fighting back and thought of teaching her a lesson when they got home.

Li Changan pulled Li Qiusui over to block behind him, "Master Zheng..."

Xia He was angry and pushed Li Changan away.

Let me wait for two years! How shameless do you, Zheng Ying, have?
Chang'an keeps calling him Master Zheng, in such a flowery way. When will he be able to make himself clear?
"Two years? Do you want to get the top or third place in the imperial examination in two years? Then we will all wait until you pass the exam and come to congratulate you!"

Zheng Ying knew that Xia He was deliberately misinterpreting his meaning, and he didn't care about the sarcasm in her words.

Xia He was really angry. Sui Sui would be fifteen in two years. It was okay if she didn't get engaged. They didn't care even if she stayed single for her whole life.

In short, other people are not worthy of my sister!
But what I said couldn't make people misunderstand me, as if I was waiting for you, Zheng Ying.

Xia He, "In the past two years, some families have come to visit us. We will tell our elders about your intentions when we go back. As for what my mother thinks and plans... that is the adults' business. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are the rules of the capital, and we should not go too far!"

He was just about to point at Zheng Ying's nose and say that he didn't know the rules, and he also pointed out that the elders of the Zheng family should come out and speak.

"What my cousin taught me is..." Zheng Ying regretted that she lost her mind for a moment and said such inappropriate words in a hurry.

They have both grown up, and it is too difficult to see each other on a daily basis. I said this just to express my feelings first.

Now think about it, it is very inappropriate.

It was fine for them to talk about this kind of thing in private. Even if Li Qiusui got angry at him, he would still enjoy it.

Now no matter how much he tried to fill it in, it would only make things worse. Zheng Ying's face flushed.

This child is usually very sensible, what happened? Why did he lose his temper?

Li Qiusui's old mother got angry and couldn't bear to see Zheng Ying embarrassed. She smiled foolishly at her sister and stopped Li Changan who was about to get angry.

Xia He was really angry, and wanted to ask him who the Zheng family looked down on? But looking at her disappointing sister, she didn't say anything more embarrassing.

Li Qiusui hurriedly said to Zheng Ying, "You have guests at home, go and take care of them first. We will go back soon."

With Li Qiusui's help, Zheng Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said something. She forced a smile and said, "Okay! If you have any problems, come find my fifth sister."

Li Qiusui and his sister watched Zheng Ying walk away.

Li Changan pulled his sister's pigtails and gritted his teeth, "Do you really like that boy so much?"

Li Qiusui snatched back his hair and said with a flattering smile: "How could that be? We are still guests at someone's house!" We couldn't embarrass the host, right?
