Chapter 27 Wen Wan'er

In the Qiyue Pavilion, Li Ruyue squeezed her veil tightly and stared at Li Yuan's face with faint expectation, but Lin Qing's expression was a little bit disheartened.

"Yue'er, Daddy will find a better husband and son-in-law for you in the future. As for Prince Huan, Daddy has to think about the Li family and not offend the Empress Dowager. Don't be discouraged. There are many good men in Beijing, and Daddy will do his best. Find a good one, and you won't be disappointed." Li Yuan stroked his beard and said earnestly, seeing Li Ruyue's froze face instantly, he felt a little guilty.

When Li Yuan said the first sentence, Lin Qing next to her closed her eyes, she couldn't bear to see her daughter's haggard look, she knew Li Yuan too well, she had expected that he would come from Jingxin Pavilion today, nothing good would happen .

Li Ruyue felt cold all over her body, she looked into her father's eyes, and squirmed her bright lips, "But, daddy said, you want to marry me to Prince Huan, you said it yourself..."

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Father has missed the appointment, because the situation is different now, King Huan is in full swing, and the Queen Mother has also made a decree to let your eldest sister go to the palace to see her after taking off her clothes. If daddy goes to change someone at this time, I'm afraid he will offend Huan. Wang and Empress Dowager, Yue'er, you have always been sensible in the past, you will understand Daddy's difficulties, right?"

Li Ruyue shook her head and murmured, "Dad told Yue'er that he wanted Yue'er to marry King Huan. Yue'er studied the rules every day, practiced poems and books, and cultivated himself in order to marry into the royal family. Now Dad said no." Now, what should I do? What should I do?"

"Yue'er shut up!" Lin Qing saw Li Yuan frown, with a trace of impatience and anger on his face, she quickly got up and walked to her daughter, pinched her from behind, and said to Li Yuan, "Master, Yue'er obeys As for you, you were tired of learning the rules in the past, but now you suddenly lose this good marriage, you will inevitably feel depressed."

Li Yuan's expression relaxed slightly, he stood up and said, "You can persuade me, and, in the future, you should pay more attention to Anran Pavilion, food, housing and transportation should be good, and any other needs will be accepted."

"Master, aren't you eating here tonight?" Seeing Li Yuan walking towards the door after speaking, Lin Qing caught up a few steps and raised his voice.

"Let's go another day. I have business, so I'm going to the study." Li Yuan waved his hand and stepped out of the room.

Lin Qing leaned against the door, seeing that Li Yuan was walking quickly without turning back, tears and anger flashed in Danfeng's eyes, she gritted her teeth and walked back to her daughter, sighing.

"Yue'er, don't be sad, there will be better things in the future." When Li Yuan came from Jingxin Pavilion, he must have discussed it with the old man, and there will be no further changes. Now there is no news from his brother. It is really powerless to fight alone.

"No, mother, I'll go back first." Li Ruyue wiped away her tears with her head down, her expression was a little strangely calm, she pulled away Lin Qing's hand, and stepped out of the room with lotus steps, leaving only The cold and weeping Lin Qing in the room.

Prince Huan's Mansion

In the neatly arranged study room, Xiao Huan took the paper in Yi Xing's hand and looked at the news related to Gao Yi.

"Gao's family doesn't have many relatives. I have checked all the branches of the house, and my subordinates even went to see it in person. It's not a girl. General, do you think the girl has left the capital?" Yi Xing was very frustrated. The eldest lady of the Li family who was negotiating relatives, he has searched all the aristocratic families in the capital. Since returning to the capital, he has been forced by his brother Yi Feng every day, like a disciple, to peek at those young ladies who go out. Dazzled.

Xiao Huan was also puzzled, his slender fingers rested on his forehead, and for the first time he had doubts about the dark network in Kyoto that he had cultivated. At that time, mentioning divorce would also damage the reputation of Li's parents and daughters. With the friendship between the empress mother and Mrs. Gao, he didn't want the situation to develop to that point.

"My lord, Miss Wen is asking to see you." The voice of the guard outside the door came, and Xiao Huan suddenly frowned, his expression cold.

"General, my subordinates will leave first." Yi Xing rubbed his nose, cupped his hands and exited the door, nodded to a woman in purple, and left quickly. Miss Wen was just sent by the empress dowager to the mansion. It was taking care of the general's diet, Yi Xing shook his head and clicked his tongue, and took care of it, the general's face has been dark these days.

"My lord, Wanan." Dressed in a lavender palace attire, the green-haired lady wore a flowing bun, the pearl jade swayed lightly, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle and tranquil, and she was holding an eight-treasure snack box, and Wen Wan'er bowed gracefully.

"What's the matter?" Wen Wan'er raised her eyes with a sultry and deep voice that was as cold as ice, and a few traces of admiration flashed across her.

"The slave servant saw that the prince didn't have much for lunch, so he specially made some snacks and brought them here. The prince can use some."

Xiao Huan propped his forehead with his hands, his gaze still fixed on the paper on the table, and he said coldly, "No, let's go down."

Seeing that the prince never raised her eyes from the beginning to the end, Wen Wan'er bit her lip, she looked ashamed, but she still bowed her knees and exited the room gracefully.

Xiao Huan took out a piece of emerald jade from his bosom, which was almost the same as the one he gave to Ru Hua. When the two pieces of jade were combined, the pattern would form a circle of blessings. All that was left in his mind was the cold figure in the snow. , leaned back in the chair, exhaled, closed his eyes, and moved his long eyelashes slightly, suppressing the crazy thoughts in his heart.

Tanjiang Wharf
In the rudder master's building, the smell of medicine was strong, and there was a sound of hissing and muffled humming. The attendant looked flustered and stepped into the room with a thick quilt in his arms.

"Cold, I'm cold, ah, it hurts!"

On the mahogany bed, Lin Gang's eyes were tearing and hissing the cold mist, desperately trying to suppress the trembling of his body, his knees that had just been bandaged were twitching due to the trembling, and the severe pain seemed to drive him crazy.

The concubine next to him ordered his attendants to cover Lin Gang with a fifth quilt, and moved the two charcoal stoves boiling soup closer to the bed, "Master, is it still cold now?"

Lin Gang only felt that his body had been frozen into ice, as if he could not feel the presence of the bedding on his body, but the severe pain followed him everywhere. He gritted his teeth and opened his eyes wide, looking at the concubine beside him.

"You, you take off your clothes and come in, it's cold, hiss! Quick, find two more!"

The entourage retreated in response, the concubine bit her lip and took off her bib, hesitatingly slipped into bed.

The five-layered quilt was actually colder than the outside, and the man's body was even more like a block of ice. The concubine screamed and wanted to crawl out, but was pulled back by her thick arms and held her tightly.

"Ah, it's ice! Helmsman, concubine can't do it, ah!"

Lin Gang hugged the warm body tightly, feeling a little bit of warmth seeping into his chest, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the trembling stopped a lot, the concubine kept struggling and rubbed against the wound on her knee, he yelled in pain and shut up, Pulling the quilt over her head, she felt the rare warmth and comfort of her body.

He woke up in the middle of the snowdrift late that night, his whole body was stiff, his knee bones were cracked, and he was in so much pain that he struggled to climb out of the woods. There were no ghosts on the road. The body is like an ice cube, soaking in hot water is a little better, but when it comes out of the water, it returns to freezing. After soaking in hot water several times, the doctor said that he can't soak anymore, the skin on his body is almost ripe.

Lin Gang felt more comfortable, drowsy, and didn't notice that the struggle with the concubine slowly slowed down. It wasn't until the attendants led the two flower girls in and woke him up that he realized that the concubine's body was getting cold. Lifting the quilt, a pale and ferocious face was revealed, and he was shocked and pushed him out of the quilt.

"Ah!" The two flower girls screamed in fright at the naked corpse, turned around and ran out of the house.

Lin Gang gasped for breath, and felt cold again for a while. He covered his painful knees, looked at the red marks on his chest from the hot water, and shouted at his followers, "Go! Get back!"

Mother Cui was bumped by a panicked person, she cursed and walked quickly into the rudder main building.

"Master Cui, Mama Cui of the Li Mansion wants to see you outside."

Lin Gang was trembling wildly, the pain was so painful that the tiger's eyes were filled with tears. Hearing that his followers were reporting outside, he shouted hoarsely through the mist, "Get out! Wait for me to recover, hey, then clean them up! None of them can escape! Find those two Hua Niang is back, I'm about to freeze to death!"

"Still sick? You have been there several times these days, why haven't you seen anyone?" Lin Qing frowned.

"Ma'am, every time I go, my servant is turned away. The attendants only say that my uncle is sick, and I don't let my servant go in to have a look." Mother Cui said helplessly.

"Brother may be blaming me, just being angry, I'll go there in person some other day, alas, everything doesn't go my way."

An Ran Court

"Miss, you want to divorce?" Xue Gu almost didn't jump up, and hurried to close the door and window, then looked at Li Ru'an with a calm face, and lowered her voice.

"Why would Miss want to withdraw from the marriage? What's wrong with this marriage? This was decided by the Empress Dowager, and the other party is still Prince Huan. If Miss withdraws the marriage, who will dare to propose marriage to Miss in the future?"

Li Ru'an looked at Xue Gu who was anxious and flustered, and knew that she was thinking about her own reputation, "Nurse, do you think my temperament is suitable for marrying into a royal family with strict rules?"

"Sister, don't be afraid. Women come here like this. They always want to marry. Just get used to it. Besides this marriage, how can you say that you can get it?" , worriedly persuaded.

"Is it like a mother? Married, lost herself, only her husband, children, and family affairs in life, and died in depression?"

Xuegu hesitated, and said hesitantly, "Sister, I heard that although King Huan is a general, he has an elegant and upright temperament. He is not a prime minister, so don't..."

"I don't want to marry a stranger and just make do with it. I can't accept my husband having three wives and four concubines. He can only have me as one wife. He wants to take a concubine unless I die." Li Ru'an said slowly, Looking at the stunned Xuegu, "So, nanny, do you think I'm suitable to marry King Huan?"

It is not that there are families in Beijing that do not have a monogamous monogamy family tradition, but there are very few of them. The Gao family is one of them, but there are other family traditions, such as having no children after a certain age, or the woman has made some mistakes, and most of them are husbands. The reason for taking a concubine is that few can really watch a person live a lifetime. This is still talking about ordinary people, and the royal family has no such possibility.

Xue Gu looked at the young lady with a firm expression, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, she was stunned for a while, then got up and went to kneel in front of Gao's tablet, weeping silently.

"Nurse, I know you are worried about me in the future, but it's okay. We will leave Li's family, leave the capital, and find a comfortable place to live. I promise you, I will find a suitable person to marry, respect each other as a guest, and live a happy life." Raise children and live in peace." Li Ru'an knelt on the futon and said quietly.

Xuegu closed her eyes, she knew that it was impossible to persuade the young lady now, and she felt sad from the bottom of her heart.
