The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 188: Happy (5)
Li Chaochao smiled at her and looked at the four maids laughing, but his heart was calm. It will be Jiji in a few days. Lan Lingyu said in the letter that he could not come, and they have not seen each other for more than three months. I see, I don't know what he is doing now...

A few days later, on the ninth day of March, on the day of Li Chaochao and Ji, all relatives of the Li family came to congratulate her. She usually doesn't have any girlfriends, that is, she is closer to the daughters of the Lan and Cai families. She has long since disappeared, and the only one who came to congratulate her today is Cai Fanghua, the daughter of the magistrate's family.

Cai Fanghua saw that she was wearing a honey pink peony satin dress inlaid with silver silk. The long bead tassels on the skirt dragged to the ground. , as small and exquisite as cherries, with eyes like water, the brilliance overflows between glances, and the three thousand blue silks are tied up with a woodcut orchid hairpin.

She smiled and went forward to salute, "Sister is really beautiful today, but this hairpin is too plain, and it just so happened that I brought a jade step rock to send you off, why don't I replace it for you."

Li Chaochao stopped her, "How can I make you spend so much money?"

"Could it be that my sister hates me?" Cai Fanghua is two years younger than Li Chaochao, and she has a cheerful temper. She frowned and said with a smile: "Could it be a gift from Prince Lan?"

Li Chaochao smiled and said nothing, Cai Fanghua immediately understood, "Let me just say, how can my sister have such a special liking for wooden hairpins, but how do you and Lan Shizi get along? When we were playing together before, we never knew each other. Discover."

Maybe Cai Fanghua didn't have any special feelings for Lan Lingyu, but there was still a sour feeling in those words.

Cai Fanghua didn't notice Li Chaochao's expression, and continued: "Actually, you also know about my family. A while ago, my second brother didn't know why he went crazy and wanted to marry you back as a concubine. He really couldn't control himself. Why? You can dare Lan Shizi to snatch it."

Seeing no one around, she said mysteriously: "But I don't know what's wrong. His relationship with the second sister-in-law has gotten better recently, and the second sister-in-law is pregnant."

"Really? I really want to congratulate the magistrate for having a grandson."

Cai Fanghua also looked excited, "Now even if the second brother wants to mess around, we can't do it anymore. Our family is cute and takes care of the second sister-in-law. My mother won't let him talk about making you a concubine again. I don't know if it's Lan Shizi. I got some news, my father wanted to fall into the capital, but he didn't believe it, sister Chao Chao, what do you think is going on?"

Seeing her testing himself, Li Chaochao smiled confusedly, "I don't dare to speak nonsense about such things."

Xia He who was at the side saw the fifth girl glance at him, and suddenly said: "Miss, it's time to pay my respects to the old lady."

"Okay." Li Chaochao let Cai Fanghua take care of himself, and led Xia He to Yonghe Hall.

Li Chaochao didn't expect that Lan Lingyu still knew about Cai Muzhi's affairs, and he could repay him so far, so he couldn't help smiling.

When the auspicious time came, Li Chaochao performed three prostrations and three blessings in accordance with the rules. It can be seen from the Jiji ceremony that the Li family now attaches great importance to her. Not only did they invite guests, but also invited the respected elders of the clan to be guests. Li Manman, the first daughter of the Li family, never received such treatment.

The guests watched Li Chaochao change his clothes into a dark red long-sleeved dress, like a phoenix reborn from nirvana, transforming and soaring. They thought it was no wonder that the Li family attached so much importance to a little concubine, the Marquis of Wuxiang. It's not unreasonable for Lan Shizi to take a fancy to her, she is really a stunner.

On the stringed music building in the distance, Li Manman stood at the highest point and looked out, but she could faintly see Li Chaochao three times bowing to the table, a fire was burning in her heart, and let that bitch be proud, today is her death day!
After sending off the last spectator and leaving, the family banquet in Li's residence officially began.

The old lady asked Li Chaochao to sit beside her to show her respect. She laughed for a whole day and couldn't close her mouth. "Chaochao is very generous, it is the blessing of our Li family."

The old man stood aside and nodded, "What mother said is that my son will never let down the love we have for her if he wants to marry Chaochao, don't you think so? Chaochao?"

Li Chaochao got up and smiled, "Yes."

The old man nodded in satisfaction, "Then let's have a feast."

He went to look at Aunt Shen who had a bad face, and the aunt looked around, "The fourth girl hasn't come yet, how about..."

"Hehe, I kept everyone waiting for a long time."

Now there are few people in the family, and they only sit at one table. When the people at the table saw Li Manman walking over in a calm manner, with a hostile look on her face, they felt that her appearance was absolutely nothing good.

The aunt snorted, "You still know how to show up, why don't you just stay in the Crescent Tower and no one invites you."

Li Manman covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she was wearing a bright red dress today, which was more eye-catching than Li Chaochao, "Today is Chaochao's birthday, how can I, a big sister, not come!"

She sat on the round stool loudly, "Could it be that you don't welcome me? No matter how poor I am, I'm still the first daughter of this family!"

Li Chaochao smiled obediently, "Why don't you welcome me! Chaochao and Ji are supposed to be blessed by the elders. It's a blessing for Chaochao that the four girls can come."

The elder was very displeased to see Li Manman like that, but he couldn't fault it, so he coldly asked Aunt Shen to leave the banquet.

Aunt Shen is a concubine, so she can't sit at the banquet during the period, even if the old man said it several times, she just waited on everyone and poured wine.

Li Manman glanced at Aunt Shen, and asked her to fill up the wine jug for herself, then raised it and toasted the old lady first.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter has been in chaos these days. You are worried about me. This drink is my own punishment. Please forgive my granddaughter."

Seeing Li Manman's words, the old lady drank three cups in a row, and she smiled lukewarmly, "As long as you are a good boy of our Li family, you are not young anymore. Grandmother will arrange the marriage for you."

A sarcasm flashed in Li Manman's eyes, but he still smiled obediently, "What grandma said is that my granddaughter will definitely listen to you in the future."

Her current appearance is worse than that of a concubine, if her mother is still in charge of the family, how can it be Li Chaochao's turn to show the limelight, and how can her courtesy be forgotten!
He still has the face to say that he will arrange a marriage for her!Even if she arranges a marriage, she won't be the one in her heart!

Li Manman looked at Aunt Shen coldly, and asked her to pour wine for Li Chaochao, "I'll have a drink with Miss Wu!"

She stared at Aunt Shen for a moment as she changed a jug and poured a glass for Li Chaochao, then she picked up the glass and stood up with a smile, "The fifth girl and Ji are adults now, whoever was right and who was wrong in the past, but anyway we Both of them are sisters, and the grievances are melted in the wine, and we will write it off after drinking it!"

Li Chaochao smiled shyly while holding the wine, "Just listen to my sister."
