Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 511 Apologize
For things like marriage, the woman, as the married party, usually does not invite too many guests at home. Even if she wants to entertain guests, it will be staggered with the man's time. After all, the main banquet will be arranged on the man's side.

Although Princess Yuping is a princess, she still has to abide by the customs in this regard, and Princess An has planned all this before, so naturally not too many people will have the opportunity to see the jokes of the princess.

It is also because of this that there were not too many guests watching the incident in Prince An's Mansion just now, but in the Li family at this time, I don't know how many people are watching their actions.

Li Shangshu sensed the gazes of the crowd, and directly pulled Li Peiqing into an empty room on one side with a straight face, and asked with a tense face: "What's going on here? You should quickly explain what happened in Prince An's Mansion in detail." Listen to me, tell me everything Prince An said clearly, and you must not miss a word!"

"Yes, I know," Li Peiqing swallowed, and recounted the previous incident with great aggrievedness, and couldn't help complaining after finishing speaking, "I just went a little late, I didn't expect that Prince An Turning my face and denying anyone like this, not only said that my marriage with the Princess is over, but also whipped me a few times."

I thought my complaints would at least give me a little comfort, but I didn't expect that my father slapped me hard on the head, and was reprimanded: "You are not such a confused person on weekdays, why did you spend some time inexplicably? Overnight upstairs? You really..."

"Father, I was indeed framed yesterday. Today is the day of my wedding. How could I go to Hualou again? I just thought that my old friend invited me to meet, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to go, but Who knew..." After what happened last night, even Li Peiqing himself felt extremely wronged, and he couldn't figure out why he was lying with so many women.

"It's just because you were framed by someone that it's even worse, hey!" Li Shangshu is much more knowledgeable than Li Peiqing, and he feels more and more that this incident was a conspiracy from the beginning to the end, and if He guessed right, the person who devised this conspiracy should be Prince An.

"Father, can my child go back to the room and change clothes first?" Prince An's whips just now were so hard that Li Peiqing's clothes were torn several times.

Li Shangshu glanced at Li Peiqing who was in a mess, his eyes flashed suddenly: "No need, you just go out with me and go to Prince An's Mansion to plead guilty."

"Father, the guests are still here. Why are you..." Li Peiqing's head was a little dizzy today, but he reflected it in the middle of the sentence, "Did father deliberately bring the child over at this time to express his apology?"

Everyone knows that this matter cannot be delayed, but there is still a big difference between taking care of the guests first and then going to the door to apologize, or directly going to the door to apologize regardless.

If you take care of the guests first, although it is correct in terms of etiquette, it will also appear that the Li family does not value this marriage enough, otherwise where will the energy come from to arrange the guests?
If they came to the door to apologize regardless of the etiquette, although the etiquette may make these guests feel slighted, it can perfectly show that the Li family attaches great importance to Prince An and this marriage.

Which of the two is more important, Li Shangshu is like a mirror in his heart, so he can naturally make a judgment without hesitation. He looked at Li Peiqing up and down, nodded and said: "It's very good if you are like this, you can do it later." Know what to do?"

"Father, don't worry, even if Prince An really beats the child to death this time, the child will not back down at all," Li Peiqing straightened his expression and said seriously, "I will marry the princess into the house no matter what. , I’m just afraid that the father will be wronged by following the child.”

Seeing his son wake up in time, Li Shangshu's expression eased a little: "No matter who set up the previous scheme, you have to admit this mistake today. Princess Yuping loves you very much, as long as you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistake , and say something nice, I think this matter won't be a big deal."

"My child knows." Li Peiqing nodded.

So the father and son just left the house full of guests, and asked people to prepare their horses and go out. The two thought things would be smooth sailing, but what awaited them might not be a good thing.

At this time, Prince An and Concubine An were sitting in the flower hall drinking tea. Thinking of the few whips he had just pulled out, Prince An couldn't help laughing: "I wanted to beat that kid up a long time ago. Not a good fight, but at least it made me angry."

Princess An sat on the side drinking tea with a slight smile. Even if she didn't speak, those soft eyes were enough to make Prince An feel more at ease.

"Although Yu'er will definitely be sad for a while, it's definitely a good thing to get rid of that kid. In the future, Yu'er will definitely be able to talk about a good marriage." When Prince An became happy, he straightened his legs up .

Concubine An looked a little funny, and reminded: "My lord, don't be too happy, this matter is not over yet."

"Why is it endless? I just said this marriage myself and let it go. Could it be that the Li family can still mess around? It depends on whether they have the guts!" Hearing this, Prince An immediately raised his brows. , and waved his fist, as if he wanted to hit someone again.

Concubine An continued a cup of tea for her husband, and said with a smile: "Where is it that the prince said it is so serious? It's just that the Li family probably won't let go of this marriage easily, maybe the Lord Shangshu will bring him back later. Let my son come to the door in person."

"Hmph, even if he dares to come, I won't let them in. In fact, the majestic Prince An's mansion can come in and out at will?" Prince An has always looked down on those in the Li family, or it should be said that Prince An almost looked down on them. All the civil servants only know how to talk, but actually can't do anything, at least that's what Prince An thinks.

Concubine An shook her head with a smile, her tone was still soft: "Don't worry, my lord. I know that my lord is too lazy to deal with those hypocritical people. It's just for Yu'er's reputation. We can't really keep people out. It was only Li Peiqing who came, it would be fine if the prince doesn't let him in, after all he is just a junior, but after all Li Shangshu was an official in the same dynasty as the prince, and he almost became a relative, no matter what, he had to be more proper in terms of etiquette yes."

Prince An wanted to refute, but he also knew that what Princess An said was reasonable, so he just waved his hand impatiently: "In that case, I will leave this matter to you. I am impatient to see those people."

"My lord, don't worry, I will handle this matter properly." Princess An chuckled and narrowed her eyes slightly.

As Princess An expected, she learned from the porter that Li Shangshu brought Li Peiqing to the door to apologize, and that Li Peiqing rushed back without even having time to change his clothes, obviously very hardworking.

It's really hard work. It's a good plan to win sympathy. Unfortunately, how can Princess An let him do what he wants?

"Please come in." Princess An put down her teacup, her voice was calm and indifferent.

Li Shangshu brought Li Peiqing and thought that he would need to go through some twists and turns to enter Prince An's Mansion, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and it made him a little confused for a while.

When he arrived at the flower hall where he received guests, Li Shangshu saw that Princess An was sitting on the main seat swinging a small box, and hurriedly knelt down to salute: "I have seen the princess."

Li Peiqing also knelt down, "My son-in-law pays respects to the princess."

He has always used the word "son-in-law" very smoothly, especially today.

Concubine An glanced at the two of them, and without shouting, she asked directly, "I don't know why Master Li is here today?"

If this marriage is completed, then the Li family and Prince An's mansion are in-laws, and he is the princess' father-in-law. In some respects, he is equal to Princess An, but at this moment he kneels very humblely in front of the place, And the other party didn't even give him a straight look, which felt too bad.

But even if it is bad, Li Shangshu can only kneel like this, and he can't show his emotions: "The purpose of this lower official is to come to the door to apologize, and the previous things are all because the lower official did not teach well, so I let you go. Gou Zi has done such a ridiculous thing, I hope Princess Wan will forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Li Shangshu gestured to Li Peiqing with his eyes.

Li Peiqing knelt behind Li Shangshu, and quickly bowed his head to the end after receiving instructions: "Princess, what happened today is all the fault of my son-in-law, and my son-in-law will die forever. I think that I have made the princess so sad, so I feel more and more sad." I blame myself and feel guilty. It’s just that if my son-in-law is going to die, he should first apologize to the princess and ask her for forgiveness, otherwise my son-in-law will really feel uneasy.”

On the way here, Li Shangshu and Li Peiqing had already discussed the countermeasures. Prince An and Princess An did not like Li Peiqing, the prospective son-in-law, from the very beginning. If they wanted to attack them, it would be too difficult.

So the two of them made up their minds to lead the matter to Princess Yuping from the very beginning. Since Princess Yuping has a deep affection for Li Peiqing, presumably as long as she can be invited out, let her see what Li Peiqing is doing at this time. The tragedy will naturally soften the heart.

When the time comes, Princess Yuping will persuade Lord An and Princess An, and the matter will be resolved smoothly, and the Li family father and son will not have to suffer.

How could Princess An not know the plan of these two people, she sneered and said: "Fortunately, you still have the face to mention Yu'er, do you know that Yu'er has washed her face with tears because of your delay of the auspicious time today, and now she still has the face She is sad in the room. Didn't you mean to make her more sad by calling her here at this time?"

"My son-in-law doesn't dare. My son-in-law is just ashamed, so I want to apologize to the princess in person." Li Peiqing rolled his eyes and said humbly, "And since the princess is sad because of my son-in-law's late arrival, it can be seen This incident happened because of my son-in-law, if I don't let my son-in-law explain this matter clearly, wouldn't the Princess be even more sad?"

"Explain? What do you want to explain?" Princess An didn't want to look at the Li family father and son, her voice was extremely cold, "Since you want to explain, why don't you tell me where you stayed last night and where you are today?" Why is it so late?"
