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

Chapter 40 Lantern Festival ([-])
If Li Baojia knew that she thought this way, she would probably say that the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is.

She finished breakfast slowly and then went to pay homage to Mrs. Huang and Li Wangde. They sat at the head of the table. She served them tea and stood aside.

Li Wangde looked at this daughter and sighed.

Unknowingly, she had grown so big that she was about to leave the government.

Thinking of how cute a small ball of jade snow was when she was a child, he spoke with a bit of rare warmth: "Perform a good performance during the Lantern Festival today. Yesterday you were cold, so be careful not to let the wind blow you today."

The incident at the Yushi Mansion last time made him a little taboo, so he decided not to propose marriage without a token for the time being.

After all, things are unpredictable, so we still have to leave a way out for the Li family.

He also had another consideration.

The last time the prince came to visit the Li family, he could smell something different.

Even if the prince doesn't let Li Baojia become the princess, given their family's family status, being a concubine is more than enough.

As long as the prince's heart is with her, she won't be a princess, and her favorite concubine is not bad either.

Thinking of this, he became more and more cheerful: "Do you have enough money? If you don't have enough, go to the accounting office and get some more. There are many places for girls to use money outside."

Li Baojia shook his head: "No need, father, it's enough."

Then Huang Ru'er also took her for a chat, and it took half an hour before setting off to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors.

By the time all of this was done, it was already past noon, so Li Baojia could only have a hasty lunch and set off for the flower boat.

When she got off the sedan, she was still a little surprised. There were so many people at the Lantern Festival this year. They were by a river in the suburbs. There were many people here in twos and threes.

This river is the famous mother river of Da Zhao, with a total length of more than 6000 kilometers. This is just a small harbor among them, and it has also been the main venue for the Lantern Festival over the years.

The river looks calm, sparkling under the sunlight, the lake is green, and looks very cool and clean. There are many locust trees planted by the river, which are already blooming, with butterfly-shaped corollas, small and cute white ones, and there are also flowers on the ground. Some of it fell, and the fragrance of locust flowers was everywhere in the air.

She only took two or three steps forward before she was stopped by a pair of long hands: "Why don't you wear the dress I gave you today? Don't you like it?"

Zhou Jinan stood in front of him with his hands stretched out.

Today he wore a purple satin jacket with a double-breasted stand-up collar, and a silver-colored jade smear on his forehead. He looked like a handsome young man.

But what he did was quite like a bandit. How could anyone specifically stop someone just to ask why he didn't wear the clothes he gave him?
Li Baojia took a step back: "It's not that I don't like it...this is not good."

"What's wrong?"

She tilted her head and thought for a while: "I have nothing to do with you, but you suddenly gave me a dress, do I have to wear it?"

Zhou Jinan was a little anxious: "Who said you have nothing to do with me? We..."

Seeing Li Baojia blinking in confusion, he changed his words and said, "Aren't we friends? I'm still your savior."

Li Baojia nodded: "Then I won't wear it either."

"why?"

She was about to speak but stopped because she saw Zhao Yi walking towards her in front of everyone.

He has already put on the prince's official court robe that he wears when he is about to sprinkle gold. It is a black satin robe with gold hooks that he rarely wears. The pattern on it is low-key and restrained, with a deep red lining inside, and his hair is tied high. He also wore a golden crown with two dragons holding pearls and jade, which made him even more handsome, like a god.

He looks more dignified and inaccessible than usual when he wears regular clothes. It seems that people can immediately feel that as the Crown Prince of the Jokhang Kingdom, this being who is admired by thousands of people, his uniqueness is indelibly engraved in his bones. Royal condescension.

It's just that ugly sachet tied around the waist that's a little weird. The colorful ones look like mandarin ducks or ducks?

Zhao Yi's inaccessible and powerful aura was instantly broken.

Damn it, why would he hang her sachet on his body?
When did his aesthetic become so weird?

Many noble ladies around looked at her.

Among them, Wu Shucun, the second girl of Wu Shangshu's family, said to the fourth girl next to her: "Why does Your Highness go to her place? The Prince of Jinan also seems to be quite familiar with her?"

"Sister, please keep your voice down, others will hear you." The fourth girl next to her pulled her sleeve and whispered.

Thanks, I've heard it.

Li Baojia lowered his head and said silently in his heart: ignore me, ignore me, ignore me.

She didn't want to be a target at this festival at all.

Zhao Yi paused and walked up to her: "Why don't you go over?"

He obviously also noticed that she was not wearing the clothes he gave her, but he just glanced at her briefly and said, "This color will suit you too."

Next to him, Zhou Jinan bowed his hand to Zhao Yi and said, "Why didn't Your Highness go earlier? The girls on the boat must have stretched their necks to wait for you to pass."

Look at how popular he is, you should consider me to avoid being scratched by the girls in the capital.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly, "No need to be too polite. The Marquis of Jing'an told me yesterday that he wanted me to control you well. It would be better to go less often to places like Yixianju."

Is it possible that he is a good candidate for a husband because he hangs around the land of fireworks every day?
Although Zhou Jinan is his cousin, he gets along more like a cousin on weekdays. The book history editor he is currently on duty is also under his jurisdiction.

Zhou Jinan was choked, and before he could say anything, there was a burst of noise, and a large number of people squeezed over inexplicably, and Li Baojia was almost involved in them.

Zhou Jinan quickly reached out his hand, but it was still a step too late. Zhao Yi grabbed her hand and pulled her over.

After Li Baojia stood still, he immediately took his hand out, leaving only a delicate and smooth touch in his palm.

His hands tightened slightly.

The group of girls at the back turned around and saw that they had bumped into someone. They also saw the two men behind them with unkind eyes. They immediately stopped making noise and left in groups.

They are commoner women, and here are dignitaries. Even if they don't know who they are, they know that they can't afford to offend them.

A figure fell at Li Baojia's feet. Li Baojia let out an ouch and hurriedly helped the person up.

As soon as the man raised his head, he gave Li Baojia a heavy blow to his appearance.

His face was a little close to hers, his eyelashes were long and curled, and the corners of his eyes were sparkling with tears and a little red. He looked more delicate than the others. Isn't this the Prince Jinyang?

He was leaning softly on Li Baojia's legs. Zhou Jinan stretched out his hand to pull him up. Before he touched him, he who was still on the ground just now and couldn't get up slowly followed Li Baojia's hand and got up slowly.

The crescent moon robe he was wearing was a little dusty, and the skirt was also open, and the skin inside was a little red, and a strand of hair was hanging down. Combined with his beautiful face with tears hanging down, it gave him a somewhat sadistic beauty. .

He bit his lower lip and said, "Thank you, sister. If it weren't for sister, I would have been squeezed into the crowd just now."

He looked up at Li Baojia pitifully, looking like a pitiful little white flower: "Sister, can I follow you?"

"They surrounded me as soon as I got out of the sedan. They were so crowded that I couldn't breathe."

Looking at the handsome young man who is delicate and easy to bully, no wonder those girls are so crazy.

Zhou Jinan cursed inwardly: Where did this little goblin come from? Why does Li Baojia attract peach blossoms like this?
