Chapter 18

Zhou Jinan frowned and was about to speak when Li Baojia pulled him and said to the back, "I'm sorry, let's get out of the way right now."

When the princess came out to see them, she was stunned for a moment, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. She also saw that Li Baojia had a very good attitude and gave in as soon as he said so. She, who had just been thinking about having a big fight, was speechless.

After a while, he said: "Then, let's get out of the way."

Li Baojia asked the coachman to move out of the way. Seeing this, Zhou Jinan also stepped back a few steps to make way for him.

Princess Min An turned around and went in, the carriage drove up, the moment the curtain was lifted, everyone in front saw another person in the carriage.

It was a young man who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a jade crown and a moon-white plain fine kudzu cloth robe with gorgeous and complicated patterns. He was leaning sickly inside the carriage.

The skin color is a bit sickly white, so white that it is almost transparent. Under the thin and slightly curled eyelashes are a pair of eyes that are as clear as morning dew. The water in the eyes is as bright as stars, and the corners of the eyes are a little abnormal and sickly red. It makes him look more picturesque than a real person.

What a sick beauty like a fairy in a painting!

That startling glance shocked several people, even Li Baojia, who was usually somewhat immune to beauty, was stunned for a second.

After their carriage stirred up a gust of dust and passed by, many people came to their senses. Zhou Jinan said in a very disgraceful manner: "That's the Crown Prince Jin Yang? He's not bad looking, much more beautiful than his sister."

Li Baojia blinked. In terms of appearance, Crown Prince Jin Yang and his sister Princess Min An didn't look like a family at all.

Princess Min'an has a good-looking appearance, with a bit of deepness that is unique to border girls, and her skin is not as white as that of a noble girl from the capital. She can barely be called a little beauty.

But compared with Prince Jinyang, he was far behind.

Zhou Jinan asked: "Why did you retreat just now? He is just a prince of a fiefdom, why are you afraid of him?"

He was naturally confident in saying this. He was also a heir apparent. There was no difference in rank between the heir apparent and the heir apparent. Moreover, Prince Liang was his brother. He had failed to seize the throne and had gone to the fiefdom decades ago. , whose power and status are naturally not as good as those of Zhou Jinan, who was born and raised in the capital, because this is the capital.

King Liang responded to every call in the fiefdom, and his prestige was extremely high. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a local emperor. Nowadays, there are many methods, but he cannot suppress the local snake King Liang, so he is quite afraid of him.

But no matter what their status is in the fiefdom, there are rules in the capital.

Coming here, it is natural to be a little restrained, but seeing them like this, so high-profile that they are afraid that others will not know that they are arrogant and rich, I really don't know what to say.

Thinking of the ending of the two of them in the previous life, Li Baojia replied: "It is better to have one less thing than one more thing, and it will be okay to give in."

Then he gave Zhou Jinan a blessing and thanked him again, then got into the carriage and planned to go back.

When leaving, Zhou Jinan did not forget to shout from behind: "Remember to come and thank me tomorrow."

Everyone had gone a long way, but he was still standing where he was. The guard next to him came up to him and said, "Sir, that's the girl from the Li Mansion. She seems to be destined for the prince."

Zhou Jinan patted his head with a fan: "You think the young master doesn't know?"

He slowly opened the folding fan: "Isn't it decided yet? Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like her? I quite like her anyway. It just relieves the Crown Prince's worries."

The guard muttered: "Are you so sure that Miss Li will fall in love with you?"

Zhou Jinan turned around and slapped him on the forehead: "If you don't know how to speak, just speak less."

Inside the carriage of Prince Liang's Mansion.

Zhao Minan was a little helpless: "Are the people in this capital so cowardly? I have provoked you like this, and I gave in even though I said so."

Zhao Qiong, who was leaning sickly next to him, said: "Anyway, there are always troublemakers. If this one doesn't work, the next one will be the one."

Zhao Minan was a little worried: "You are in the capital now, so be careful."

Zhao Qiong lowered her head when she heard the words, her lowered eyelashes covered the carelessness in her eyes: "It's fine, I can't die."

Zhao Minan sighed heavily.

The current situation in Liangzhou and Dazhao is not only dire and tense, but also a bit subtle.

This time when they came to Beijing, it was nice to say that they were returning to the court to visit their relatives, but in fact the emperor just invited them to come and see what the future Prince of Liang would look like.

In other words...is there any threat to Dazhao?

Therefore, the more tolerant and cautious they are on this trip, the more dangerous it will be. It is better to let go of their temper and offend the whole family, which will be in line with the emperor's wishes.

East Palace.

Zhao Yi sat quietly in front of the table with a pen. There was a piece of rice paper on it, and with a few strokes of ink, a beautiful and lovely beauty appeared on the paper.

The beauty has a playful expression, sitting on a small boat, picking lotus seeds with one hand, and making circles of ripples in the water with the other hand.

He casually tapped the red lips of the beauty on the paper, and asked, "Did Prince Liang come to Beijing today?"

Huang Gao nodded and said: "Yes, his sister Princess Min'an is also here. She will probably stay in the capital to get married. Prince Liang is also willing to do so."

This is purely a gift to the capital as a pledge.

Zhao Yi sneered: "If it were Prince Liang instead, let's see if he would be willing to part with it."

Huang Gao said: "It is said that Prince Liang is not in good health and is hanging up with medicine."

After hearing this, Zhao Yi didn't know whether to believe it or not. While hanging the painting to dry, he said, "Let's send some tonic ginseng over."

"Yes."

Huang Gao took another look at the painting before he left. He felt that it looked familiar, but he didn't know who it was.

The person in the painting is so charming, when did the prince have such a style around him?

At the door of Li Mansion, Li Baojia just got off the carriage and bumped into his second brother Li Mingxuan who had just returned.

When Li Mingxuan saw her, he took the initiative to shout: "Baojia."

Li Baojia was a little surprised to see that he was still wearing the green robe from the academy: "Second brother, the academy is on holiday today?"

Li Mingxuan smiled and said: "Well, this year is one day earlier than in previous years, isn't it the Lantern Festival?"

"Second brother, how are you doing in the academy recently? Are you satisfied with the food and drinks?"

Li Mingxuan knocked her head: "You don't need to worry about this, my family can still treat me badly."

"Will you take the Jinshi exam next year? Brother, you have to work hard. If you win the Jinshi, you will find a beautiful daughter-in-law."

Li Mingxuan shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "You're making fun of me. It's still a matter of whether it's a hit or not."

Li Baojia smiled sweetly: "Brother is so good, how could he not win? I'm afraid I have to congratulate my brother in advance for being named on the gold list." After all, he was second in the list in his previous life.

Although Mrs. Qin and her mother did not deal with each other, Li Mingxuan and Li Baojia were close in age. Li Mingxuan had been raised by Li Wangde since he was a child, and he had always been close to Li Baojia.

Although her mother Huang Ruer always told her to stay away from Li Mingxuan for fear that he would be uneasy and kind-hearted, Qin Ke didn't think so.

When he was a child, Li Mingxuan secretly took Li Baojia out to see the river lanterns behind his back, although he would inevitably get a good beating when he came back.

The two of them were really chatting at the door. Mrs. Qin's eldest girl Xi'er came over. Seeing that Li Mingxuan was with Li Baojia again, she seemed quite nervous. She saluted him and said, "Second Young Master, Madam is waiting for you, sir." I told you to go back home today and have a casual meal together as a family."
