Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 476 Right now, I will accompany you
When Xiao Li entered, Ling Jian glanced at her indifferently, then looked away.

Even when Xiao Li called him cousin, he just nodded his head, looking a little cold.

Most of Xiao Li's courage to come to Qin Luoyu to reveal his heart disappeared immediately.

She only wanted to marry her cousin, but she ignored Ling Jian's wishes.

What if the cousin refuses to marry her?
Thinking of this, Xiao Li was so full of worries that he couldn't say a word anymore.

She sat silently at the side, listening to Qin Luoyu and Ling Jian talking.

I was secretly startled.

The emperor actually planned to give way to Lingjian after next spring.

It's not that Xiao Li doesn't know that Ling Jian will be the emperor sooner or later, but to her, Ling Jian always feels that becoming the emperor seems to be a very distant thing.

Many times Xiao Li would forget Ling Jian's identity. To her, he was just her cousin.

Xiao Li didn't really realize until now that although she called Ling Jian her cousin, her identities with Ling Jian were completely different, they were not the same at all.

Once Ling Jian became the emperor, the relationship between the two of them was as if separated by a natural moat.

From then on, when she looked at Ling Jian, she could only look up.

A woman who can be the emperor's concubine is all selected by the Ministry of Rites. Her family background and appearance are indispensable.

And she was clearly not the right person.

Xiao Li felt extremely sour in her heart.

She originally wanted to get up and leave, but Ling Ruo came in at this moment, chatting with her for a long time.

Over there, Qin Luoyu and Ling Jian had finished talking about their business, and after giving instructions, Qin Luoyu remembered Xiao Li's marriage.

"You will be the emperor next year, and the empress and concubine will be selected by the Ministry of Rites for you. You can decide as you see it, and your father and I will not care about it. It's hard to decide the candidate for Li'er."

Qin Luoyu handed Ling Jian a thin volume of booklet, "You have more contact with them, help Li'er to read it and give some advice."

Ling Jian opened it, and inside it was the birth date and character introduction of the children of the noble family in Kyoto.

He had just heard about Qin Luoyu's selection of a husband for Xiao Li, and he asked him to give his opinion before he had time to ask about it.

Ling Jian finished flipping through the booklet calmly, "I don't think these people are worthy of my cousin."

Qin Luoyu didn't expect Ling Jian to have such high eyesight, "Isn't it? I carefully selected them. They are considered to be the best among the children of your family. How come they can't do it when they come to you?"

"My brother thinks that no one is as good as him, and my brother always thinks that he is the best."

Ling Ruo interjected, "Ask your brother, queen mother, of course he says he doesn't like it."

Ling Jian glanced at her coldly.

Ling Ruo stuck out her tongue and snatched the booklet from him, "I'll take a look, I'll help my sister choose."

Ling Ruo sat back beside Xiao Li and turned over the pages one by one, "Sister, I know this person, he is very good at archery, last time he shot two wild geese with one arrow at the Daishan hunting ground. But he is not very tall. Pretty, not as good-looking as Wei Zun."

"I've seen this man before, but I think he's a bit fierce when he loses his temper. Sister, you are so timid, you will be frightened by him."

"And this one, I know this one too, he doesn't like to talk, he looks like a gourd."

"Well, it's not good. He talks too much. Last time, Wei Zun and I were almost annoyed by him. It was so noisy."

"."

Qin Luoyu was a little helpless, "Ruo'er, this is not for you to choose a husband, let sister Li'er choose herself, okay?"

Lingruo said solemnly, "I'll help my sister out."

As she said, she turned another page in her hand, "This one, sister, this one is very good."

Ling Ruo pointed to the name on the brochure, "It's Pei Xingzhi from our Taixue, sister, don't you know him too? Pei Xingzhi is full of literary talent and looks better than brother, sister, how about choosing him?"

Ling Jian glanced at her, and said in a bad tone, "Better than me? Are you sure?"

Seeing that his brother was angry, Ling Ruo knew the current affairs at a young age, and immediately praised Ling Jian, "It's still a little bit worse than my brother. My brother is invincible and the most beautiful in the world."

Qin Luoyu looked at it from the sidelines and it was almost funny.

But she really has no opinion on Pei Xingzhi.

He is Pei Song's nephew, Qin Luoyu met him several times in the Daishan hunting ground, he is indeed a handsome and handsome young man.

It is said that Pei Xing's family was poor, but his literary talent was extraordinary, he was appreciated by Pei Song at a young age, and Pei Song taught and supported him a lot.

Qin Luoyu's favorite is actually Pei Xingzhi.

But in the end, it still depends on how Xiao Li chooses.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Seeing that Xiao Li didn't answer, Ling Ruo couldn't help urging, "Do you think Pei Xingzhi is okay?"

Qin Luoyu was afraid that Xiao Li would be shy, "Ruoer, don't rush your sister, these people will come to the palace for dinner in a few days, let Lier see them before making a decision."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Li's eyes fell on the booklet, and said softly: "Young Master Pei, it's quite good."

She had been classmates with Pei Xingzhi in Taixue for several years, and they knew each other more or less.

If she had to marry someone, she would rather marry Pei Xingzhi than someone she didn't know.

Qin Luoyu was quite happy, "As long as Li'er thinks it's good, then we will make a preliminary decision on Pei Xingzhi. After a few days for the New Year's Eve, Li'er, you can take a good look."

Xiao Li's eyes drooped slightly, and she gave a soft "hmm".

Ling Jian's eyes turned cold invisibly, but he didn't say anything.

*
a few days later.

Qin Luoyu specially arranged the New Year's banquet in Meiyuan. The Meiyuan is elegant, and it is the right time to enjoy the plum blossom and snow.

The ministers of the DPRK and China took their seats in the main hall of the main hall, while those noble children and ladies were placed in the side hall.

Because of Qin Luoyu's instruction, Pei Xingzhi's seat was exactly opposite to Xiao Li's, and when the two raised their heads, they could see each other.

That's all, in order to create opportunities for Xiao Li and Pei Xingzhi to get along, the little girl Ling Ruo took Xiao Li, Pei Xingzhi, Wei Zun and others out to admire the plum blossoms in the middle of the banquet.

As they walked, Xiao Li realized that Ling Ruo and Wei Zun had gone somewhere, and only she and Pei Xingzhi were left.

She felt a little uncomfortable, "Master Pei, it's cold outside, let's go back."

It was an excuse, but Pei Xingzhi thought she was really cold.

He immediately untied the cloak on his body and handed it over, and said in a warm voice: "There is still a long way to go back from here, Miss Xiao put it on first to keep out the cold."

Xiao Li refused to answer, "No need, Mr. Pei."

"It's nothing but a cloak."

Pei Xingzhi stared at her, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, "How can it compare to Miss Xiao's kindness to Xingzhi's stove back then."

When he said this, Xiao Li remembered that Pei Xingzhi had just entered the imperial school not long ago.

It's cold in winter, but Taixue doesn't know how to make charcoal fire.

It is said that it is the tradition of Taixue that it is difficult for students to become masters without Ling Han.

However, the students couldn't help but secretly brought hand warmers from their homes and hid them in their sleeves.

Xiao Li is afraid of the cold, so naturally she is no exception.

Only Pei Xingzhi never brought a heater, and endured the bitter cold.

Xiao Li accidentally heard that his father died young, and his mother raised Pei Xingzhi by washing clothes for others. Later, when he was appreciated by the prime minister, Pei Song, the life of the family improved a little, but it was not considered a wealthy family. Just get by.

Perhaps it was because she had the same life experience as him, Xiao Li felt a little sympathy for Pei Xingzhi for no reason.

From then on, every time she entered Taixue, she would bring an extra hand stove and put it quietly under Pei Xingzhi's desk.

But it was only for ten days.

When Qin Luoyu learned that Taixue didn't make charcoal fires in winter and let the students suffer from the cold, he immediately went to find Ling Junxing.

Lord Ling issued an order that Taixue's practice of not lighting charcoal fires in winter was broken, and winter has been as warm as spring ever since.

In the past few years, Xiao Li had long forgotten about the stove, but Pei Xingzhi still remembered it.

She was a little embarrassed, "It's just a matter of raising a finger, Mr. Pei is serious."

"Miss Xiao's hard work has always been remembered in her heart, and she will never forget it."

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly, walked closer to Xiao Li, and put the cloak on her body.

He was a head taller than Xiao Li, lowered his head slightly, flipped his slender fingers, and tied the belt of Xiao Li's cloak very thoughtfully.

Xiao Li's mood was a little complicated, but she still didn't refuse.

At that time, the snowflakes were falling gently, and the two walked slowly side by side along the Meiyuan path.

The snow falls silently, the plum fragrance is faint, and there is an indescribable tranquility.

Xiao Li's oppression and discomfort for the past few days seemed to have faded a bit.

She doesn't like Pei Xingzhi, but she doesn't hate him either.

Marrying Pei Xingzhi does not seem unacceptable to her.

Xiao Li stopped in her tracks, raised her face, and reached out to catch the flying snow.

For no reason, she thought of the young man sitting on the pear tree when she first entered the palace.

The pear blossoms fell that day, just like the winter snow in front of my eyes.

This winter will be over soon, and after spring, my cousin will be the emperor.

He will have a queen and many concubines in the future.

And she will move out of the palace and get married.

I'm afraid that it will be rare to see Ling Jian in the future, and Ling Jian will never have anything to do with her life.

Xiao Li thought, she should give up.

Give up those unrealistic dreams, get married in a down-to-earth manner, and be another person's wife.

Snowflakes fell on the eyelashes, fascinated her eyes.

The corners of Xiao Li's eyes were a little moist.

Pei Xingzhi saw that she had something on his mind, but he didn't say anything, just stood aside silently, accompanying her.

Snow fell all over them.

The twilight gradually dimmed, the palace lanterns swayed in the wind and snow, and the dim yellow light flickered endlessly.

Xiao Li exhaled and said softly: "Mr. Pei, let's go back."

Pei Xingzhi nodded and went back with her.

When passing by the palace lantern under the eaves, Pei Xingzhi grabbed her, "Miss Xiao, wait."

Xiao Li stopped in her tracks, he stretched out his hand, and carefully and lightly helped her brush off the snow from her hair blouse.

The two stood very close, looking from the side, as if Pei Xingzhi was hugging her.

When Ling Jian came, he saw such a scene.

Xiao Li was dragged out by Ling Ruo to admire the plum blossoms, but she didn't come back for a long time.

Later, when Ling Ruo returned, Xiao Li hadn't seen anyone yet.

He remembered that at the Daishan hunting ground, she followed Ling Ruo out, but in the end she lost her way and fell into a trap.

Although nothing will happen in the palace.

But Lingjian still couldn't hold back and came out to look for her.

But she didn't expect that she was with Pei Xingzhi, and they were so close.

Ling Jian's face was gloomy, and a coldness flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Li."

Not wary of Ling Jian's sudden appearance, Xiao Li shuddered, subconsciously took two steps back, and said uncomfortably, "Cousin."

Pei Xingzhi saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ling Jian looked at Xiao Li expressionlessly: "Wen Qin was injured yesterday, I remember you have a kind of wound medicine, which can heal the pain without leaving scars."

Xiao Li hurriedly said: "Well, there are, and I'll send someone to fetch them later."

Ling Jian said coldly: "Go now. You go in person."

Xiao Li was startled, "But the New Year's feast is not over yet."

It's quite a long way from Meiyuan back to Yueli Palace, and it's already dark now, without a maid to accompany her, she would be afraid to walk alone at night.

Ling Jian's tone could not be refuted: "Right now. I will accompany you to fetch it."

Xiao Li had no choice but to look at Pei Xingzhi apologetically.

"Mr. Pei, then I'll go back with my cousin to get the medicine. I'll see you later."

Saying goodbye to Pei Xingzhi, Xiao Li followed Ling Jian and walked towards Yueli Palace.

Ling Jian smelled of alcohol slightly, and his face was a little cold, as if someone had offended him.

Xiao Li didn't know why, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just walked behind him silently, not daring to get too close to him.

When the two finally reached Yueli Palace.

The maid greeted her and saluted. Xiao Li took off her cloak and gave it to the maid. The maid asked in a low voice, "Is this His Highness's cloak?"

It was only then that Xiao Li realized that she had returned to the palace wearing Pei Xingzhi's cloak, and hurriedly said: "This belongs to Mr. Pei, you clean it well, and I will return it to Mr. Pei someday."

Ling Jian's face seemed to be getting harder and harder to look at.

The maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more, she hurriedly withdrew with her cloak in hand.

Xiao Li was also a little uneasy, and whispered: "Cousin, sit and wait a while, I'll go get the medicine, and I'll be here soon."

She hurried into the inner room, and when she was taking medicine from the chest, she heard footsteps.

Xiao Li turned her head, but saw Ling Jian also walked in.

Ling Jian also came to Yueli Palace to look for Xiao Li once or twice before, but he never entered her dormitory, this was the first time.

Xiao Li thought he was in a hurry to get the medicine, so he quickly handed it over: "Cousin, here it is."

Ling Jian didn't answer, just looked at her quietly.

The boy's eyes were dark and cold, like a dark and boundless winter night, making Xiao Li inexplicably nervous.

After a long time, she heard Ling Jian ask in a deep voice: "Are you really planning to marry Pei Xingzhi?"

Xiao Li was startled, but still nodded: "Mr. Pei is very good."

"very good?"

Ling Jian sneered, and the air around his body became even colder, "What's a good way?"

Xiao Li was a little taken aback, hesitated, and didn't know how to answer.

Ling Jian tonight is a bit weird.

"Cousin," Xiao Li said bravely, "are you drunk?"

Ling Jian didn't answer, and reached out to lift her chin, with unknown emotions in his eyes.

The girl's eyes widened, and she raised her head to look at him in panic, her bright red lips parted slightly.

Although it was an unintentional action, it was tempting for no reason.

Ling Jian's fingertips couldn't help pressing it up, caressing the girl's lips.

Very soft, petal-like touch.

I just don't know how it tastes.

He thought of that rainy night in the cave a few months ago.

He has long wanted to taste the taste of these lips.

When Xiao Li felt something was wrong and wanted to back away.

Ling Jian had already grabbed Xiao Li's waist and pulled her into his arms.

The other hand clasped Xiao Li's chin, bowed his head and kissed it.

Xiao Li's exclamation was completely blocked, turning into fragmented sobs in this winter night.
