The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 19 Eccentricity
Since they are eating as a family, I guess there is nothing to worry about.

Li Baojia was about to leave after receiving the gift, but turned around and was stopped by Lin's mother who had just come from Huang Ruer's place: "Miss, madam asked you to go to dinner. The master said that the family has not been together for a long time, so we will have lunch together. "

what?
Li Baojia was totally unwilling. He might as well go back to the small courtyard and eat the delicious food from his own small kitchen. He could order whatever he wanted without having to deal with random polite words.

But since her father had spoken, it was hard not to go.

Li Mingxuan beside him said: "That's just right, come with me."

Li Baojia nodded: "Let's go then, second brother."

-

When they got to the ground, they found that Huang Ru'er and Qin Ke had already sat down. Li Wangde hadn't come yet. Next to him, Li Li was hunched over the dining table: "Mom, why don't dad come? He's starving to death."

Qin Ke glared at him: "Get up quickly! As I taught you, you should eat as if you were eating. Your father is busy every day, so you have to be considerate."

Huang Ru'er was expressionless, and scoffed at her words in her heart. If she was so strict, how could she teach Li Li to be like this?
But he is only seven or eight years old, so he is so glib, and he is only interested in the flamboyance of the beautiful maid all day long.

In the past, he always said that Li Mingxuan did not grow up in front of her and was not close to her. But if Li Li grew up in front of her, what kind of good son would she teach?

Li Li pursed his lips indifferently and slid up from the dining table as if he was boneless.

When Huang Ru'er saw Li Baojia coming, she smiled quite happily: "Jia'er is here, come and sit here."

Li Baojia sat down as he was told. Qin Ke was also happy to see Li Mingxuan coming. Li Li looked at his brother and his eyes lit up: "Second brother! You are back. Have you brought me a gift?"

Li Mingxuan went on vacation one day earlier than usual this time, so he was naturally unprepared. He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Li'er, I came back in a hurry this time, so I'll buy it for you during the Lantern Festival."

Li Li was already pampered at home, so he was quite unhappy when he saw this scene: "Second brother, did you only buy things for Li Baojia, that's why you didn't buy anything for me!"

Qin Ke patted his hand: "What are you talking about, Li'er? Your brother is in a hurry to come back. Didn't he say that he will make it up for you during the Lantern Festival? Stop making trouble."

Huang Ru'er sneered: "You should discipline her well. When you meet your sister, you call her by her first name. It's so uneducated."

Li Baojia was beside her, and she had seen this scene countless times since she was a child. It was like an endless drama, and the same scene was played every time.

Li Li stood up from the stool: "I don't care, I don't care! I want today's gift! Don't think I don't know, you just bought it for Li Baojia!"

"Mom! Brother, he would rather buy it for Li Baojia than buy it for me! Obviously I am his biological brother."

After hearing this, Qin Ke looked at Li Mingxuan suspiciously, but still pulled Li Li: "Your brother didn't buy anything, come down quickly."

Li Mingxuan was a little helpless.

At the same time, he was also a little chilled. As the elder brother at home, he could only experience the feeling of being an elder brother when facing Li Baojia. Li Li had no respect for him.

Qin Ke loved him deeply, indulged and doted on him, and never disciplined him much in the face of his wantonness, but just let him let his brother go.

Li Wangde had another son when he was nearly fifty, so he naturally loved him more. Although he was not as indulgent and doting as Qin Ke, he was no less generous.

For him, Li Wangde is strict, always saying that he is the eldest son of the family, and the burden of the family will be placed on his shoulders in the future, but he always thinks, so what if he becomes the head of the family?
He can't control Li Li now, and he won't be able to control him, nor will he control him in the future.

Li Li was reluctant: "Then if you ask him to take out everything in his sleeves, he must have bought something for Li Baojia."

He had seen it a long time ago, there was a long cylindrical protrusion on his sleeve, it must be hiding something.

He is his biological brother. He asked him to buy him crickets last time, but he didn't buy them either. He only bought things for Li Baojia. This time he must ask his mother to teach him a lesson.

Qin Ke had a headache. She turned around and faced Li Mingxuan: "Mingxuan... look... your brother is making a lot of noise. You... just show him and he will stop making trouble... "

Again, always.

Li Mingxuan suddenly felt weak. He reached out and touched his sleeve. If it was something ordinary...

As the eldest son of the family, he didn't get any respect he deserved. His younger brother could even play and cause havoc in his study at will, but he couldn't even say a word.

Qin could see that he was reluctant to let go, and he felt more and more that Li Li was right: "What are you doing and why don't you show it to your brother?"

"Did you really buy something for Li Baojia but not for your brother? You, you..."

Li Mingxuan took out what was in his sleeves. It was a long wooden box with a lotus pattern carved on it. It looked quite delicate.

Qin Ke took it over and opened it. Inside was a delicate bead flower, which was the pink-blue color that girls like most nowadays.

This...is this for girls during the Lantern Festival?

She raised her head: "You, you have a girl you like?"

Li Mingxuan closed his eyes and took back the box: "Mom, I'm feeling a little unwell today, so I won't have lunch. I'm going to read a book first."

He raised his sleeves and turned around to leave. Qin Ke was still behind and said, "You can't have private conversations with those women outside. I won't agree to it. Did you hear that?"

Li Baojia only looked at this with cold eyes.

Qin Ke looks smart, but in fact she is only very accomplished at pleasing men. When it comes to disciplining her son, she is really confused.

She always thought that Li Mingxuan was not raised by her. He was raised by the old lady when he was a child, and was later taught by Li Wangde himself. Li Mingde didn't say anything, but the old lady was already dissatisfied with her, so why did she teach her son to separate from her?
She was already suspicious, and felt that her son would not accept her discipline and was close to Li Baojia. She felt that this son was unreliable, so she was not as good as Li Li, who was raised by her, and her preference for Li Li was even more obvious.

Little did she know that the more she behaved like this, the further she would push Li Mingxuan. After all, who could bear a crooked and neurotic mother?

Huang Ruer was happy, watching the show from the side. As long as Qin Ke was uncomfortable, she felt comfortable.

Qin Ke turned around and glared at Li Li: "You, you..."

Li Li obviously knew that he had gotten into trouble, but this time he sat obediently on the chair and said nothing.

Li Wangde came late from the door and bumped into Li Mingxuan who was leaving the door.

Li Mingxuan saluted him: "Father."

Li Wangde asked: "What's going on? The house is so lively?"

Qin Ke said hurriedly: "Master, it's nothing. Li'er was playing around with his brother and made his brother angry."

He turned around and said, "Li'er, why don't you apologize to your brother?"

He lifted him up again and pushed him forward: "Hurry up."

Li Wangde laughed loudly, and patted Li Li's forehead affectionately: "Brother just came back, why are you being naughty with him?"

Turning to Li Mingxuan, he said: "Stop losing your temper and come over to eat. Your brother is still young, so it's normal for him to be ignorant. Give him some slack and act like the eldest son of my Li family. He's always so petty. What does it look like."
