The Princess Wei Yang

Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Only A Confession

(1) 思 (si) - to think, a thought

(2) 一生 (yisheng) - a lifetime

Li Wei Yang was writing, writing very seriously although her characters have always been not that very beautiful . Because she had not been educated in the previous life, although she worked hard for a long time after, calligraphy is a skill to start learning at a young age . After carefully writing the word "thinking"(1), Li Wei Yang looked at it carefully for a long time, and shook her head .

"Xiaojie has been practicing calligraphy today!"

"Yeah, I heard that today was the day of Jiang Fourth Shaoye’s execution . A lot of people went to see it!"

"Yes, I thought Xiaojie was going too!"

"Hush, be quiet! Xiaojie didn’t mean to go!" Mo Zhu and Bai Zhi whispered to each other .

Li Wei Yang raised her head and glanced at them, and said, "Gossiping in front of me?" Do these two yatous think she is completely deaf? She basically heard everything!

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Xiaojie, you didn’t want to go to the execution site to watch?" Watching the enemy die is a very popular thing, why is Xiaojie not interested at all?

Li Wei Yang wrote another stroke, saying lightly: "What’s so good about watching the killing of people?" Besides, the person killed must not have been Jiang Nan .

Both Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu looked at her with strange eyes . Li Wei Yang smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Yue, please tell them . "

Zhao Yue answered: "Xiaojie arranged people at the entrance of the prison, and one night three days ago, someone secretly entered the prison and replaced Jiang Nan . "

The other yatous expressed shock on their faces, and Bai Zhi quickly said: "The Jiangs are so bold!"

The imperial prison is different from ordinary prisons; it is the place where high-profile detainees are held and Jiang Nan was someone His Majesty personally sent in there . No one is allowed to visit, let alone allow any idle people to approach . Li Wei Yang smiled slightly and said, "Who can go to prison without the permission of His Majesty?"

Mo Zhu surprised: "Xiaojie means . . . "

"I didn’t mean anything . " Li Wei Yang blinked . The emperor seized the Jiangs’ military of 200,000 and had already ordered the Jiangs’ children to return to the capital for mourning . If they really killed Jiang Nan, then they were forcing the Jiangs to stage an overthrow . So Jiang Nan was replaced by someone, with the Crown Prince’s assistance and the Emperor’s acquiescence . Deals within the royal family had always been this sloppy . Whatever goes wrong, as long as they are willing, everything is done to maintain the stability of the imperial power . This is not surprising . Li Wei Yang had expected it early in the morning but she just wanted to confirm it .

"Xiaojie, we can find a way to expose them!" Bai Zhi gritted his teeth; she really hated Jiang Nan’s opinionated virtue .

Li Wei Yang smiled quietly: "Although Jiang Nan is alive, he can only live in the shadow for the rest of his life, not to mention he can’t go back to the battlefield to build a career . His life is a hundred times more painful than death . " With Jiang Nan’s domineering and arrogant character, to abandon his identity as the fourth son of the Jiangs and to give up the name of General Wuwei to become a man in the city without telling anyone his identity and he can’t inherit the glory of the Jiangs, everything has been ruined for him . Li Wei Yang thought it was very beautiful .

For Jiang Nan, this is the cruelest punishment in the world .

"But if he comes to trouble you again?" Bai Zhi was a little worried .

Li Wei Yang smiled a little: "He wants to but the Jiang family would watch him wholeheartedly and prevent him from appearing in front of me again . I think he has been sent out of the city now . ” Of course, he must not be sent to the prosperous big city but to the countryside where the bird does not shit . They will definitely send people to watch him so that he can no longer cause any troubles .

Bai Zhi nodded and wanted to say something . There was a voice outside, "This yatou, don’t you even understand? To keep Jiang Nan alive, is to keep a hold of evidence on the Jiangs . When this is revisited in the future, we can add on to their accusations with one stroke . "

Li Wei Yang looked up and saw it was Li Min De standing at the door . His eyes slanting, his eyes overflowing with jet black and his neutral smile gave off a dazzling look . Even though it was a familiar face, Li Wei Yang felt that his body was inexplicably a bit tough and strong, making her frown lightly .

Li Min De was also staring at her . Because it was summer, the ice basin was specially placed in the house but still it did not decrease the amount of heat . Li Wei Yang wore a cherry-colored flower dress with a snow white face and she was extraordinarily glamorous . When she looked up, the white jade tassel butterfly on the neckline flickered slightly, almost enchanting his eyes .

Li Min De’s eyes were so soft and gentle: "What is it, why are you practicing calligraphy?" He walked up to her and lifted up a word for a closer look . Li Wei Yang asked, "How is it?"

When Li Min De smiled, the smile was as dazzling as a bouquet of flowers blooming in spring . Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu looked at each other and couldn’t help but retreated half a step . Third Gongzi dared not look at it more, fearing that it will hook his soul away . When Zhao Yue came in, she retreated out to talk to her brother .

"Here, the strokes are not strong enough . " Li Min De held her with his hands, as if to teach her how to write with his hands . Li Wei Yang was stunned and then quickly pulled her hands back without trace: "Aren’t you going out? Why did you come back this early?"

Li Min De smiled and took a jade hairpin from his arms: "I saw it outside, I think it is very suitable for you . "

The jade hairpin was made of a piece of jadeite, and the finely carved hairpins were embellished with pearls . The green and white colors were interesting and extremely beautiful . Li Wei Yang was enchanted by the blueness and then said: "For me?"

Li Min De nodded and wanted to help her put it on but Li Wei Yang suddenly stopped his hand .

Li Min De didn’t move, but held the hairpin in his hand tightly, his eyes fixed on her face, a strange look appeared in his eyes, "What’s wrong . . . . . . "

Li Wei Yang’s back was straight and her pure face vigorously concealed something . After a while, she smiled and said: "Min De, a jade hairpin like this can’t be given away casually, it’s much more inappropriate for me . "

"My intentions, you have always known . " Li Min De looked at her eyes, they were dark and transparent that he could almost see his face . His heart was hot and eager as he blinked towards her .

Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu quietly retreated .

"I ... . . . " Li Wei Yang was stunned to meet his enthusiastic eyes .

However, Li Min De looked at her seriously and then revealed a thin smile like the sunlight shining on the ice . It looked very warm yet in fact it was full of anxiety: "You’ve asked me before, who do I like? Now I will tell you the answer, do you want to hear it? "

Li Wei Yang was almost speechless . At this time, what she said seemed to be wrong .

"You once said that you will stay by my side anyway and never leave . " Li Min De stared at her brightly .

" . . . . . . " Li Wei Yang was surprised . It was a matter of a few years ago, but they were consolation words after Third Furen passed away . But she didn’t expect that the young man in front of her still remembers it until now .

"Are those promises still true?" He asked anxiously .

Li Wei Yang was dumb for a moment: "What I said ... . . . naturally will not change . But . . . but I can’t accept your intentions---" Although it is difficult, she should still make it clear, right?

Li Min De’s handsome face started to turn blue and began to turn white again . He seemed to realize what was challenging and asked awkwardly, " . . . . . . what you once promised ...... was just a joke?" Unconsciously, he squeezed his fist slowly .

Li Wei Yang looked at his expression and couldn’t say anything negative . However, there was no way to answer yes . She lowered her head and slowly pushed the jade hairpin back to him, "This ... . . . you should give it to a girl you like . "

"You!" Li Min De looked at her with a trace of disbelief .

"This ... . . . this is something for the person you like . Giving it to me is very inconvenient, so I can’t accept it no matter what . "

"The things I gave you will never be taken back!" Just like his heart, Li Min De said word by word .

"Min De . . . . . . "

Li Min De’s chest swelled hurriedly, "At that time, you rescued me from the water, and you said that you will be my friend and my family from now on . After Mother died, you stayed with me and told me you won’t abandon me and will stay with me all your life? Now, has everything changed? Why? Because I am no longer the helpless Li’s Third Shaoye in the past? Because you think I am no longer your responsibility, so do you want to abandon me? You didn’t take me seriously, did you? You asked me to find the woman I like, and I am telling you, I only like you! "

Li Wei Yang looked at him and opened her mouth but in the end, she couldn’t say anything . It’s not that she doesn’t want to love anyone but she didn’t have the ability to love him . She couldn’t accept anyone . Min De is a very good person, very good . At the most difficult time, he always stood by her side, but she couldn’t love him . She wasn’t prepared to accept anyone this lifetime . Her heart is already decayed and will not beat at all but he is different . He is still very young, so smart, so handsome, so talented, many girls like him . She can’t reciprocate so how can she give him hope ... . . .

"I know you won’t love someone, but can’t you allow me---to love you?" Li Min De’s face oozes with a bitter smile . I wonder if it is his own illusion but he feels that the body is moving away from himself . Never in his heart, There was panic and fear surging forward . He suddenly stepped forward, almost using all his strength, and took her hand .

Li Wei Yang was stunned for a moment but did not think about breaking free .

"I know, Tuoba Yu likes you, and Tuoba Zhen also really wants to have you, but you have never liked them . Then for me, since you have not explicitly rejected them, why should you push me away ... . . . " His eyes were red, the expression in his eyes slowly faded away and gradually turned dimmer, "In your heart, I am the easiest person to abandon ... . . . "

Li Wei Yang froze for a long time and ultimately broke free from him . She finally sighed softly, the guilt and uneasiness in her eyes kept surging, "You are a fool! I don’t know how many women will like you, why should you like me?! When you know I can’t accept it!"

Li Min De looked at her and reached out to touch her face yet touched empty air . A scorched look flashed on his face, and finally he laughed out loud . His dark, soft eyes were like the reflection in the mirror where it showed her face slowly: "You wouldn’t even let me like you silently?"

"All I have for you is just affection from a family . " Li Wei Yang’s heart was sour, her face was cold and warm for a while . She opened her mouth gently, and the bittersweet taste spread in her mouth . She couldn’t help but grind her teeth to reply . Clever as she was but why did she not know that this young man who has always been like a younger brother in her own heart may have changed his feelings towards her .

At first she thought it was just a simple fascination for him . . . . . . But how did it turn into this?

There are a lot of words that she can’t say and explain . She only wanted to drive him away . But in private, she couldn’t bear to let this young man go, maybe it’s because her heart is also nostalgic for warmth, but she still can’t accept it .

"Am I delusional, aren’t I?" While watching her say the words of family affection, he suddenly laughed so much that his eyes were filled with tears .

She just looked at him silently, and an embarrassing silence spread across the room .

After a long time, a very long time, his voice became extremely calm in vain: "If you like quiet, I will try to be well-behaved in front of you; if you like gentle people, then I will force myself to be gentle; you don’t like others to force you, I will like you silently, guard you, even if you never accept my feelings, I can guard you for life . As long as you don’t reject me, I can keep dreaming . But my heart is also flesh . I can be wounded and hurt . You know everything yet you pretend not to know and now use the words of family affection to summarize everything . Then what I did for you, what do those mean, what do they mean? In your heart, you’ve hoarded space for a lot, revenge, hatred ... . . . when will it ever be for yourself, for me . . . . . . "

The pain in his eyes shocked Li Wei Yang . She thought ... . . . after a while, he would let go of this meaningless obsession, but she didn’t expect him to think about his life for a long time . How long can he live? How can he say these two words(2) easily?

No, you must make him wake up! Li Wei Yang shook his head and said, "Min De, I will treat you as the most important person in my life, but not a lover . Wake up and take a good look around . There are too many girls around you who like you . You won’t lack someone like me . We are all relatives from beginning to end, this relationship will not change, you will not leave me, I will not leave you, but I don’t want your love, is this bad? "

Li Min De looked at her and his eyes were gradually drenched with despair: "Yes, never separate, but you said, you don’t want me to love you . "

Li Wei Yang cruelly said, "Yes, I don’t want you to love me, and never want you to love me! You just have to treat me as family!" Such a relationship is the most stable and will never change . Like Min Zhi will never betray her, Tan-shi will never betray her, only such feelings are the most sincere and will not change easily! "You just need to think about it now and when you think it through, let’s talk about it then!" Li Wei Yang said, returning the jade hairpin to him and turning to leave .

Li Min De’s dark eyes kept staring at her, watching her leave . At the moment when the door was covered, a gold vase was suddenly swept to the ground by him, "Wala---" A loud noise sounded and the vase crashed into pieces .

He still stood there, his eyes slowly changing into ice cold . He firmly held the jade hairpin in his palm . The pain and uncomfortable waves in his eyes could be seen . Things given away can be returned but how about his heart, can it be returned so simply?

After this incident, Li Wei Yang felt uneasy and avoided Li Min De for several days . But soon, she discovered that things were beyond her imagination . However, in a few days, Li Min De’s attitude had returned to its original state . When she met him, he laughed as if nothing happened that day .

She could not help wondering when this teenager became so heavy in thoughts that she could not understand him anymore .

August 15th, Crown Princess’ Birthday Banquet

Li Wei Yang had just dressed, but suddenly saw Zhao Yue rushing in from the mirror: "Xiaojie, someone sent a box outside, indicating that it was for Xiaojie and no one else was allowed to open it . "

Li Wei Yang raised her eyebrows . If this thing was not special, Zhao Yue wouldn’t have reported it . She turned back and said: "Who sent it?"

Zhao Yue lowered her head and said: "Nubi heard that the steward sent someone to report, but when he rushed to the door, he saw a carriage with a black awning leaving, which also had the family emblem of the Jiangs . "

"The Jiangs?" Li Wei Yang couldn’t help but show a curious expression .

"Yes, Xiaojie, Nubi brought the box in . Does Xiaojie want to see it?" Zhao Yue asked .

Li Wei Yang nodded and said, "Bring it . " Zhao Yue clearly knew what was in the box, so she didn’t go close to it . She opened the box far away, exposing the contents inside .

Bai Zhi glanced, screamed, and retreated back half a step in fright . She collided with Mo Zhu who had just entered from behind . The tray in Mo Zhu’s hand fell onto the ground and the green grapes rolled down . Mo Zhu couldn’t care about Bai Zhi and quickly picked up the grape from the ground with heartache: "Bai Zhi Jiejie, this is the best grape of this year---"

Bai Zhi pointed at the box and looked shocked .

We will be opening up sponsorship again . If you are interested, please contribute in the sidebar :)

In the box, there was a head which was held in place with limestone . Although it was thoroughly cleansed and there is no drop of blood, it is indeed a head . Even though it has been treated, the rotten face and scarred face can be seen as Li Chang Le with just one glance .

Li Chang Le was sentenced to punishment three days ago . Li Wei Yang did not go to watch the torture . The Jiang family rescued Jiang Nan, but they would not rescue Li Chang Le, who had no more value, so she would definitely die . However, this head was sent to her .

Zhao Yue saw that Li Wei Yang did not show too much of a shocked expression, so she closed the box with ease: "Xiaojie, what do you think is their intention?"

Bai Zhi said angrily: "The Jiangs are bullying us to the extreme! They dare send this thing to us!"

Mo Zhu looked at several people in the house in shock . When she came in late, she was knocked down by Bai Zhi and was busy picking things up, so she didn’t even see the head in the box . After being reminded by Bai Zhi, she found out what was inside . She was surprised and couldn’t help thinking about it . Are the Jiangs openly provoking them?

"No, it’s not the Jiangs, it’s Jiang Hua . " Li Wei Yang turned around and looked at her face from the mirror . The uneven light and shadow in the bronze mirror made her shadow even more blurry .

"Jiang Hua?" Bai Zhi was taken aback . "Xiaojie, he is deliberately scaring you? Don’t be fooled!"

Li Wei Yang laughed, how could a person who plot the death of others be frightened by the scene of death? After staying in the cold palace for so many years, she has even seen lunatics eating their own arms because of madness . So she had experienced terrifying scenes before, how is this frightening? Whenever she feels that she is going crazy, she tells herself over and over again that she must live a long time and live longer than those who want her to die! She believes that Jiang Hua is a smart person, and he should have known what kind of personality she has so he wouldn’t use such childish tricks to intimidate her .

Probably, it’s because she mutually understands the workings of this clever man .

He did not mean to provoke but just to tell her that this game is very interesting and he also wants to participate in it .

Even more, he was asking: Li Wei Yang, do you want to play together? It’s like an invitation, a death bet on life .

Li Wei Yang pursed her lips, Jiang Hua’s mind may not be understandable by ordinary people . This kind of person is indeed talented and strategic and even has a bit of similarity to her in the style of doing things . Moreover, he was willing to take risks, which can be seen from the fact that Jiang Hua sent someone to assassinate her . He is an arrogant and adventurous person at heart . When necessary, he can ignore everything or even the consequences . Compared with other people in the Jiangs who value the honor of the entire family, Jiang Hua is an extreme dissident . Now Li Wei Yang has ignited his interest . He will take any possible means to defeat her even if that means for him to make a huge sacrifice .

Such a person is definitely more dangerous than the others in the Jiangs, much more dangerous .

One hour later, Jiang Yue Lan took Li Chang Xiao and Li Wei Yang to the Crown Prince’s residence yet Second Furen didn’t take her daughter to participate . After the marriage of Second Shaoye was settled, Second Furen immediately couldn’t wait to marry Li Chang Ru to Marquis Nan An’s second son . Now, she is only waiting for Sun Yan Jun to marry into the family, so she is very busy . What’s more, on this occasion, they no longer need to participate . . . . . . Now that the three year mourning period has expired, only Li Wei Yang and Li Chang Xiao, the two unmarried Xiaojies, Li Lao Furen had already begun to find suitable mother-in-laws for them; this was a good opportunity .

Li Wei Yang was wearing a light purple field yarn embroidered green bamboo branch Luo skirt, looks refreshing but simple, coupled with the already born beautiful, could not help attracting everyone’s attention . Indeed, in the past three months, Li Wei Yang has already made a name for herself in the Capital and has become a well-known figure .

Li Chang Xiao wore a pink silk dress, which was bright and beautiful yet obviously uncomfortable in everyone’s eyes . Jiang Yue Lan, as if nothing had happened, walked in with the two of them . At this point, Li Wei Yang admired this stepmother very much . After the incident of framing her with Li Chang Le last time, she never felt guilty when she saw her and was able to act happy . To be this tolerant is not something ordinary people can do .

The Crown Princess smiled and watched everyone salute to her . In such hot weather, she was still wearing clothes only the Crown Prince’s main wife could wear . Li Wei Yang looked at her eyes and couldn’t help but hide the regret in her eyes . If a woman is reduced to relying on clothes to show her status, it means that she has no status at home .

Seeing Jiang Yue Lan and others, the Crown Princess immediately called the girl to lead them to their seats and then turned to greet the other guests . Li Wei Yang glanced from a short distance away, but did not see the figure of the Jiangs’ concubine-born girl, Jiang Yue Lan whispered: "The Crown Prince’s concubine has become pregnant, she’s at a critical stage so the Crown Prince will not let her attend the banquet . "

Li Wei Yang sighed, no wonder there was a bit of reluctance in the Crown Princess’ smile . She has only had two daughters so far . If the concubine gave birth to a son at one shot, then the status of the concubine would be even more precarious .

The banquet was set in the garden, surrounded by peony flowers blooming to the full bloom and not far away was the clear and calm lake water . The willows on the lake shore were fluttering in the wind and fluttered with the wind . The scenery was very beautiful . Several, forty notable guests were arranged in the first two rows . Of course, the male and female guest seatings were separated . Li Min De was also invited . He came to the banquet earlier than them . Right at that moment, he was talking to someone he knew . Li Wei Yang glanced at him, then dropped her eyes and sighed softly .

Many people’s eyes were fixed on Li Wei Yang as if trying to see through her . Liu Xiaojie whispered next to her, "This is the An Ping Xianzhu?!" She just returned to the capital from her grandfather’s home and she was apparently aware of Li Wei Yang’s glorious deeds just now . She had never seen the real person so she was very curious .

Dong Qin, the eldest lady of Marquis of Hou Chang, was born with apricot peach cheeks and eyebrows . At the moment, she covered her ruddy mouth with a fan, and whispered: "You haven’t seen her? Such a famous woman, tsk tsk—"

Liu Xiaojie spoke in a totally unbelievable tone: "But she doesn’t look that formidable at all!" In the eyes of everyone, although Li Wei Yang was innocently victimized, she dared blame her official mother and maternal grandmother in the court . No matter what the other party did wrong, her behavior is extremely rebellious and unforgivable! The women in the family, even if they have been wronged and injustices, must be tolerant to the end . You can ask your father and brother to speak for you, but you should never accuse your mother or other elders in court . Although it may seem unfair, this is the rule! Rules that everyone knows and dare not violate!

Therefore, towards Li Wei Yang, who dared to confront and successfully break the rules and even received praise from the Emperor, everyone started to change their feelings . In the past, they may have felt that this woman was dispensable, but now they think she is an odd, unpredictable, and extremely rebellious traitor .

These people are of noble origin and abide by tradition yet they do not understand why Li Wei Yang dared to do this in front of the Emperor . Imagine someone who usurped the throne from his elder brother . He unjustly ascends the throne, what rules would you talk to them about?! How ridiculous! The Emperor will not blame Li Wei Yang and will even appreciate her, as long as the person she opposes is not him, what else does it matter! He even saw his shadow on Li Wei Yang .

This mentality is very distorted and it can’t be easily understood by ordinary people . So they can only attribute this to the pity of His Majesty for not punishing the poor little thing . Of course, she will encounter more troubles in the future . Therefore, apart from the strong wife, Sun Furen, everyone began to warn their daughters to stay away from Li Wei Yang .

Liu Xiaojie quietly observed Li Wei Yang . She originally thought that she was so arrogant and dared to confront everything so no matter how she behaved, she should give off a wild and unruly, domineering vibe . But Li Wei Yang’s eyes were quiet, elegant, and very calm . This girl is so mysterious and odd! Not only Liu Xiaojie, this is probably a common feeling amongst all of the noble furens in the audience .

However, it is not just Li Wei Yang who is well-respected by many . There is a woman who is as famous as her . She is Marquis of Yongping’s youngest granddaughter, Wu Le Ling, also known as Fifth Princess Consort, who does not allow the Fifth Prince to have any concubines . She is a very formidable figure . From the moment she married Fifth Prince, she killed all of his 13 gentle concubines and even moved his two side consorts to the outer residence . Fifth Prince occasionally glances at beauties, and the concubine would order to dig out the eyes of the woman . Such an arrogant woman is also extremely rare . Therefore, she is crowned as the most fierce woman in the capital and Li Wei Yang’s name is still not as notorious as hers . After all, from an outsider’s point of view, Li Wei Yang had no blood on her hands . The Fifth Princess Consort was extremely fierce and her behavior goes against the virtues expected from a woman, which caused her maternal family to cover their faces when they went out . Therefore, at today’s banquet, the Fifth Prince couldn’t attend because of something and Wu Le Ling sat alone in the position and no one would talk to her .

Li Wei Yang regretted knowing all this . She used to only know that the girl was tough but she didn’t know how hard it was . If she knew that Marquis of Yongping had such a powerful weapon, she would have acted early and married her to Tuoba Zhen? Now, the miserable person would have been the Third Prince, which would have been very interesting!

As Li Wei Yang thought about this, she regretted as she poured herself a cup of baihualiang, and tasted it lightly .

At this time, everyone had lost interest in her and turned their eyes towards Li Chang Xiao . Compared to the terrifying Li Wei Yang, her Fourth Meimei is as beautiful as a lily, gentle and demure, and elegant in style . Although she is concubine-borned, but now that the prime minister doesn’t have a legitimate daughter, her identity is completely acceptable .

The Crown Princess observed this scene from afar and couldn’t help shaking his head . Li Lao Furen obviously wanted to choose a son-in-law for Li Wei Yang first, but he could see that every family was afraid of her like a tiger . She pondered in her heart that the Crown Prince and the Jiangs were very close, but whichever family would be in power, the queen’s position would still be unknown in the future, why would she win over someone who wouldn’t be loyal to her? Soon, she has made up her mind to introduce Li Wei Yang to a good suitor, even if it was to anger that family .

At this time, Ninth Princess walked in behind Tuoba Zhen with a smile on her face . She was wearing a two-colored emerald butterfly-patterned gauze dress and she looked very charming . Everyone greeted them yet she just smiled and greeted the Crown Princess and went to sit with Li Wei Yang . Li Chang Xiao quickly made a seat for her so she accepted and sat down: "Wei Yang Jiejie! I’ve been looking for you for the past several days!"

Ninth Princess has always written to Li Wei Yang and asked her to go to the palace to accompany her but Li Wei Yang threw these letters, which ordinary women would see higher than the sky, aside and didn’t even read them . Ninth Princess is no longer a child now . She is more sensitive and smarter than before . The reason she sat so close to her was not for anything else but for the handsome youngster opposite her . This point, Li Wei Yang felt uneasy from her heart since she doesn’t like to be used by others, especially by the Ninth Princess, who she had helped in the past .

The girl’s heart is always full of all kinds of wonderful fantasy . Ninth Princess captures the hearts of many famous sons, but she always insists on capturing Li Min De’s heart .

Li Wei Yang subconsciously glanced at Li Min De’s direction, but the other party was obviously absent-minded, shoving Ninth Princess’ intentions completely aside . She involuntarily shook her head gently, and the flowers fell intentionally .

In the male seat, Tuoba Zhen had noticed Li Wei Yang and looked at her quietly, seeing her looking in the direction of Li Min and frowning . For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere between these two people was strange, so strange that he felt suspicious . But, they are cousins, aren’t they? Even if there is no blood relationship, it is impossible to change anything . The person he needed to guard against was Tuoba Yu . Of course, the Seventh Princess may never return again .

After drinking a cup of wine, Tuoba Zhen was really in a good mood . Jiang Hua beside him smiled and said, "Does Third Highness really like Anping Xianzhu?"

This question was asked abruptly and in fact, no one has ever asked him this before . Tuoba Zhen was surprised, he suddenly raised his head, and involuntarily brought three points of sharpness in his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Hua smiled slightly, his eyebrows and red moles were shining: "It’s nothing, but it’s based on the concern as a friend . "

The Jiangs took the initiative to accept the olive branch that Tuoba Zhen threw to them in the past, which was what Tuoba Zhen expected . Li Wei Yang forced them too tight ... . . . but this does not mean that Jiang Hua can spy on his mind . Tuoba really sank his face and said, "What if I say no?"

Jiang Hua handed over a cup of wine and nonchalantly replied: "It doesn’t matter whether you have affections or not, don’t forget the big picture . "

Tuoba Zhen flashed a chill in his eyes: "The big picture?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Whichever is the most important, whether it is the empire or the beauty, Your Highness has a decision at heart . "

What if I wanted both? Tuoba Zhen thought in his heart and a slight smile appeared on his face as he chugged the wine .

Jiang Hua knows the other party’s mind very well but he doesn’t expose him . He looked at Li Wei Yang over there and thought of such a vicious young girl, he also wanted to have a taste . He wanted to dig open her chest to see what color is her heart . . . . . . Presumably, it must taste really good too .

It was as if the Crown Princess didn’t see the dark waves underneath and so she smiled: "I am naturally very happy that everyone could come and attend my banquet . It happened that the water lilies I cultivated by myself have also opened . Please go and enjoy them . "

Everyone stood up and walked to the lake . The Crown Princess clapped her hands, and the yatous removed some of the gauze that had originally surrounded the lake . When they saw the scene at the heart of the lake, they immediately marveled .

In the quiet heart of the lake, several purple lotus flowers opened in full bloom, and the stamens were bright goose yellow-colored . At a glance, they only noticed the beautiful colors .

"Everyone is very lucky . This kind of flower only blooms seven days a year . It usually can’t be seen . Today is my birthday, which is just in time for the flowers to open . " The Crown Princess said slightly proudly .

Li Wei Yang looked at the lotus and there was a slight surprise on her face . It turned out to be a sleeping lotus . This lotus has purple petals on the outside, many golden tentacles in the middle, and a stamen with a bud in it, which only opens right before it withers . It will only open in a moment . Some people say that the tentacles of fire lotus were designed to protect the stamen from sleeping peacefully so they called it the sleeping fire lotus . But there are no such species in the capital and the climate here is not suitable for its growth . Furthermore, such a delicate flower, ordinary people simply can’t afford it .

Jiang Da Furen spoke with emotion: "Such a beautiful flower can be seen as a creation . If we didn’t come to the Crown Princess’ banquet today, it would have been a regret for life . "

The Fifth Princess Consort couldn’t help but ask, "Who is the gardener here?"

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "The flowers and plants here are all planted by myself . "

There were sounds of amazement all around—the Crown Princess was able to grow these rare flowers that countless ingenious craftsmen who had broken their heads to grow . How could it not be shocking?

In the praise of everyone, the Crown Princess’ expression was even more proud . She said that she planted it in person, but in fact, she bought the seeds, and invited the best gardener to maintain it for twelve hours a day . If one was not good, she would just switch to another one until her flowers were successfully grown . Just for the few flowers in the lake, she spent almost a thousand pounds of gold .

However, Li Wei Yang just glanced at it and lost interest in the sleeping fire lotus . Zhao Yue quietly pulled her sleeve . When she saw that the other party had something to say, she gently followed the person . The group retreated and Tuoba Zhen noticed keenly that he wanted to keep up . But he was held back by the equally happy Crown Prince . He wanted everyone to sing a poem to praise this beautiful sleeping fire lotus so he couldn’t get away in the moment . Jiang Hua smiled slightly as he trailed behind quietly .

Following Zhao Yue’s guidance, Li Wei Yang saw two people in the peony bush not far away . Over there, the Ninth Princess fainted in Li Min De’s arms . How bold! As Li Wei Yang looked at them, she was taken by surprise .

Originally Li Min De was standing there in a jade tooth-white willow-patterned robe . The color echoed the uneven dots between the flowers that looked like a landscape . Ninth Princess inexplicably rushed out and inexplicably fell and fainted in the arms of the other party . And right at this moment, she was looking at Li Min De’s face with watery eyes .

Li Wei Yang almost laughed aloud . This method was too clumsy . She covered her lips and whispered: "Zhao Yue, what did you want me to see here!"

Zhao Yue grieved: "It’s a pity that Nubi feels that it would be such a pity to not watch this good show . "

"You---" Li Wei Yang shook her head .

There, the Ninth Princess didn’t realize anyone watching and just grabbed Li Min De’s arm: "I’m so dizzy . " The Ninth Princess’ yatous didn’t know where to go .

Li Min De looked at her gently, "Ninth Princess is well, but it is just crowded . "

Ninth Princess nodded again and again . Looking at him wholeheartedly, she was thinking about some ideas .

Li Min De helped her and then handed NInth Princess Jiu a small bottle that held hydration pills, saying, "You will not be dizzy anymore once you take it . "

Li Wei Yang was stunned since she didn’t expect it all . She didn’t know when these two got along so harmoniously . Zhao Yue pouted, thinking that Ninth Princess was also pretending to be weak . She didn’t know if her Master would be able to hold off . Originally she wanted Third Xiaojie to see how her Master resisted other beauties . Now that his attitude was that harmoniously, she regretted bringing Xiaojie, he should have refused!

Li Min De kept a polite smile on his face and Ninth Princess subconsciously ate a hydration pill from that small bottle . She was pretending to be dizzy but she was really dizzy when she saw his rare smile . But just after eating it, her belly began to whine and soon afterwards, Ninth Princess rushed out of the peony garden and ran into Li Wei Yang but she couldn’t even say hello . She rushed to the latrine--

Li Wei Yang watched in surprise as Ninth Princess picked up her skirt and ran all the way, completely losing her demeanor . Zhao Yue also looked at each other blankly, wondering what happened .

"It’s just a little laxative pill, it will help her clear her stomach . " Li Min De’s voice suddenly sounded behind them . Li Wei Yang was startled as she looked back at him .

His smile was the same as before and he didn’t see anything strange . Of course, if you take this medicine, you will vomit and diarrhea for three months . She believed that this would let this girl know how dangerous it is to faint in the arms of a man .

Not far away, Jiang Hua looked at this scene in his eyes, involuntarily raised his lips and smiled, Li Wei Yang, you really are a very interesting person .
