"What is it? Did the Emperor really betroth me to the Zhuan Wei Bei?”What exactly happened today? She had waited for a long time but Lei Yuan was nowhere to be seen, and Ma suddenly came to tell her about this?
"That's right! As long as he could become in-laws with the Dwight Wealthy Prince, Ma's status in the Imperial Court would be greatly elevated! I have to thank you, Xiangli, for everything!”
"The Emperor should be very angry with me. I said so many inauspicious words on his birthday, so why did he still betroth me to the Drunken Weed Baylor? Ma, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"The emperor is kind and won't argue with you about this. Moreover, the Drunken Wei Prince likes you very much! Before this, every few days, every few days, I would ask the emperor to betroth you to him. If you marry him, you will be very happy.”
" Wait, didn't you tell him that I have a bad temper? I will reply to him ten times for every insult I receive. I am a shrew who doesn't abide by the norms of the ancient women's language. You also asked Master Lei to educate me again recently. I have so many shortcomings, but you didn't tell him about them?”
"Speaking of Master Lei, I just remembered that he told me yesterday that you've already learned very well. Your literary attainments have greatly improved, and you're also very hardworking. He felt very happy, so he only taught you yesterday. It seems that I was right to invite Master Lei here. He really made you nod your head stubbornly. I'm really glad. This way, you won't have to worry about being divorced if you marry him.”
"He's talking nonsense! Didn't he tell you that I dozed off in class and asked Lin 'er to help me take notes? He also asked ten helpers to write the punishment. Didn't he tell you all this?”
She had become so hardworking and couldn't wait to go to class because she liked him. Couldn't he tell? How could he not teach her just like that? That would be too irresponsible!
"Xiangli, I know that you can't accept the sudden request to marry the Drunken Wei Baylor, but it's alright. Take it slow. You'll accept it sooner or later.”His Highness patted Xiangli's shoulder and comforted her.
Xiangli rushed out of the door. She just wanted to be alone for a while.
She hadn't expected to bump into the Drunken Wei Prince the moment she stepped out of the door.
"This is my house. What are you doing here?”Xiangli's mind was filled with Lei Yuan. When she saw the face of the Dhuanwei Prince, she was filled with anger.
The prince heard a conversation outside the door. As soon as he walked out, he saw Xiangli speaking loudly to the Dhuanwei Baylor. He hurried forward and said to Xiangli,"Xiangli! He couldn't be so rude to the Duke of Dwight Wei!”
"I'm here to see my fiancée. Can't I?”Dwight Weir said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, you're welcome!" His Royal Highness hurriedly said a few polite words to the Zhuan Wei Bei Lei.
"I don't welcome you! Because I don't want to see you. Listen carefully, I don't want to see you! I don't like you at all!" Xiangli's almond-shaped eyes widened as she pointed at the Dhuanwei Baylor.
"Xiangli! What did Master Lei teach you? You can't speak so rudely.”His Highness was angry at Xiangli's attitude.
"Master Lei taught me well, but I didn't learn well. That's how I speak. If I don't like it, I won't force myself to say it. If you don't like it, you don't have to marry me! I don't care." Xiangli turned her head away.
"It seems that Xiangli Ge Ge seems to have a deep prejudice against me.”Upon hearing Xiangli's words, the Drunken Wei Prince's eyes were filled with rage.
"It is very deep, very deep!" For some reason, even though she knew that the Emperor highly regarded the Drunken Wei Prince, she still found him an eyesore. She felt that he was a little strange, but she couldn't pinpoint what was strange about him. In any case, she just felt that he wasn't that righteous.
"Xiangli! Can you stop talking?"
"No, unless you sew my mouth up, I'll keep talking like this!”
"Xiangli!" His Highness scolded Xiangli angrily.
"Your Highness, don't be angry with Gege Xiangli. She's just throwing a tantrum. I believe that Gege Xiangli didn't mean to contradict you.”Drunken Wei Beile deliberately put in a good word for Gege Xiangli.
"Did you see that? Even the Drunken Wei Prince has spoken up for you.”
"Anyway, the two of you are in cahoots! Humph!" After Xiangli said that, she turned around and left angrily.
"I'm so angry!" When Yu Long heard that the Emperor had betrothed Xiangli to the Zhuan Wei Palace Lord, she was so angry that she threw the green dragon white jade porcelain on the table to vent her anger.
"Miss, don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you're angry.”Granny Xu stood at the side and comforted Yu Long.
"How can I not be angry? Was that emperor an old fool? No matter what, I'm still a few levels higher than Xiangli Gege! Even if he doesn't betroth me to Zhuan Wei, he should at least find a Ge Ge with the same status as me.”
"Exactly! No matter what, our Yu Long is not only a few ranks higher than Xiangli, but she is also much more beautiful than Xiangli. It is easy to tell who is more likable with just one look. To think that the Dhuanwei Prince would be charmed by that vixen. He really didn't know what kind of demonic spell Xiangli had cast on the Drunken Wei Prince, causing the Drunken Wei Prince to repeatedly request the Emperor to betroth Xiangli to him.”
"Granny Xu, you have to think of a way for me. I can't let the Drunken Weir Prince, whom I've admired for a long time, marry Gege Xiangli just like that! You have the most ideas, quickly think of something for me!”Yu Long grabbed Granny Xu's hand and begged.
"Why don't we send a few people to investigate Ge Xiangli's residence at night and find out what fatal flaws she has? This way, if we catch something on her, we might even ruin Ge Xiangli's reputation! Anyway, who would care about losing an unknown little Ge Ge?”
"Alright, then let's take action today. The sooner the better, understand?”She couldn't wait to see Gege Xiangli's down-and-out appearance.
"Yes, Ge Ge." A cunning look appeared on Granny Xu's face.
"So annoying, so annoying, so annoying!”Since she didn't see Lei Yuan, Xiangli felt that she didn't have the energy to do anything today. She sat alone in her boudoir, facing the bronze mirror and dressing herself up.
While Lin 'er seemed to be busy in the kitchen, she planned to sneak into Happy Red Courtyard alone tonight and talk to Lei Yuan.
She was about to get married. He couldn't just ignore her, right? Moreover, he had told Ma that she had improved a lot and her literary attainment had improved. She planned to say whatever she wanted to say in the past.
He wanted to get rid of her just like that, but he had underestimated her. When it came to entanglement, she would not lose to the spider demon at all.
Just as Gege Xiangli had dressed up as a man and was about to walk out, she suddenly glanced at the bookcase beside the table. She looked at the books in the bookcase, and the image of Lei Yuan teaching at that time appeared in her mind.
Looking at those books, she felt as if he was still by her side, quarreling with her, and her past feelings surfaced one by one.
Xiangli giggled as she stood on the spot. Suddenly, she realized that there was a book in the bookcase for no reason, and the cover of the book was already a little old and yellowed.
"Eh? What kind of book was this? When did I get this book?" Xiangli picked up the book and flipped through it casually. She saw that it was filled with densely packed names. After flipping through two pages, she lost interest and casually threw it on the table. "Anyway, I don't want to know who that person is. It's none of my business!”
After saying that, she turned around and left. Right now, all she could think about was Lei Yuan.
Not long after Gege Xiangli left, two men in black quickly took the book on the table and followed Gege Xiangli.
Dwight Grace was leisurely sitting in the main hall of his estate, sipping tea when someone suddenly came to disturb him.
"Reporting to Lord Baylor, there is a person outside who requests to meet.”
The good mood of Dhuanwei Baylor, who was enjoying his tea, was ruined. His face was slightly sullen as he coldly said,"Who are you?"
"That person didn't want to reveal his identity. He only said that if the Baylor didn't see him, he would definitely regret it.”
"Since he doesn't want to reveal his identity, then send him away! I don't want to see him."
"Yes."
Because the Dwight Wei Prince had rejected him directly, he had no idea that the person standing outside the door was actually a member of the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming. He had originally planned to tell the Dwight Wei Prince that the register of the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming had been stolen!
This was also something he had just discovered today. Before he could tell Chief Xi Liang, he had come to meet with the Dhuanwei Palace Lord. Unfortunately, the Dhuanwei Palace Lord didn't want to see him, so he could only leave.
As one was the Qing Dynasty's Baylor, the other was the leader of the anti-Qing and reviving group. They were on opposite sides and rarely met. The Zhuan Wei Baylor also told Xi Liang that unless it was an urgent matter, Xi Liang could not bring people to see the Zhuan Wei Baylor. Only the Zhuan Wei Baylor could find them.
He hadn't expected that this explanation from the Drunken Wei Baylor would get him killed.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the lights were bright.
It was not easy for her to wait until nightfall. Tonight, Xiangli came to Happy Red Courtyard alone without telling Lin 'er. She planned to come here tonight to explain things to Lei Yuan. Even if there were dragons and snakes in Happy Red Courtyard and she might encounter some danger, no matter what, she had to go in today. She would not be satisfied until she saw Lei Yuan.
As soon as Xiangli stepped through the door of Happy Red Courtyard, she looked around. Not only did she not see Lei Yuan's familiar figure, but she also saw the bandit leader who had caused trouble for her the other day.
She and the bandit leader looked at each other, and both of them were shocked. Xiangli saw the bandit leader but did not see Lei Yuan. She was extremely afraid and worried that the bandit leader would find trouble with her.
Just as she was about to turn around and run away in fear, a group of people who looked like bandits suddenly surrounded her. When Xiangli saw these fiendish-looking people in front of her, she cried out in her heart that something was wrong. Cold sweat instantly flowed down her body, and her legs were about to go weak.
"What…what do you want? Are you looking for trouble?" She was starting to regret coming here to find Lei Yuan. She was playing with her life, and Lei Yuan wasn't here.
As soon as Xiangli said this, a burly man immediately took a stool and approached her. Xiangli took a few steps back when she saw him. She thought to herself, No way, right? Was he going to smash her with a stool? Why couldn't they just talk things out properly? Why did they have to be so violent?
Unexpectedly, the burly man actually said,"Miss, please take a seat."
"This…this is for me to sit on, not to throw at me?”Xiangli felt that it was strange. She suspected that this group of people were up to no good again. Otherwise, why would they give her a stool to sit on?
"Miss, even if we had ten lives, we wouldn't dare to throw you away!”The bandit leader smiled and said to her,""Miss, I wonder if you're thirsty after coming here covered in dust?”
"Uh…a little." Xiangli answered truthfully.
"Someone come! Serve them with good chrysanthemum tea immediately."
The bandit leader gave the order, and not long after, someone handed over a pot of chrysanthemum tea.
The bandit leader quickly filled her cup." Miss, please have some tea!"”
"Was it poisoned?" Xiangli asked suspiciously.
"I dare not, I dare not. If you suspect that we have poisoned you, I will drink a cup to show you.”After the bandit leader finished speaking, he immediately poured himself another cup of tea and downed it.
Only then did Gege Xiangli drink the tea in her hand with relief.
Xiangli Gege thought to herself, That bandit leader must be very afraid of Lei Yuan! If that was the case, she would definitely take revenge for the scaring they did to her yesterday and the fear she felt when she saw the bandit leader.
Moreover, these people might know where Lei Yuan was now.
"Miss, you must be tired from coming here! Do you want me to massage your back?" the bandit leader said politely.
"Alright, give me a massage. My shoulders are very sore!”Xiangli ordered.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The bandit leader immediately massaged her shoulders.
She didn't expect the bandit leader to lose control of his strength and use too much force. Xiangli cried out in pain.
"Aiyo! I'm going to die! Why did you hit him so hard? It hurts! Do you know? Use a little strength!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Use a little strength." Only then did the bandit leader relax his strength." Miss, I've offended you in many ways yesterday. I hope you can forgive me and don't take it to heart with us boors!”
"That will depend on your performance!”
"Yes, sir! If Miss has any instructions, please feel free to say it. I will do my best.”The bandit leader said fawningly.
"Is what you said true?"
"It's true, it's true. If there's even half a lie, I'm willing to be struck by lightning.”The bandit leader swore.
"Aiya! You don't have to swear that kind of oath. It sounds so scary! At most, he would swear that he would never see a woman in his life.”
"No way, that would cost me my life. I might as well swear an oath that I'll be struck by lightning.”
"Forget it! Let me ask you, do you know where Lei Yuan went?”
"I don't know. Doesn't Miss know either?”
"That's why I asked you, you idiot!”
"Yes, sir! Miss, do you have something urgent to talk to Boss Lei about?”
"Yes! It was very urgent, very urgent. It couldn't be any more urgent.”She bet that if she didn't see Lei Yuan tonight, she would go crazy.
"Then do you want me to send someone to look for him for you?”
"If there's someone who can be sent out, why don't you send them out quickly? Hurry up and go!"
With Xiangli's order, the bandit leader immediately sent out all his brothers to find Lei Yuan. Because of Lei Yuan, Xiangli was now very powerful in Happy Red Courtyard! She really wanted Lin 'er to see this scene.
Gege Xiangli waited for an unknown period of time, drinking cup after cup of chrysanthemum tea. When she felt a little sleepy, there was still no news from the people sent by the bandit leader.
Xiangli stretched and yawned.
"How much longer do we have to search? I really want to sleep! How can your subordinates not be efficient at all?”
"How about this, Miss? It's already late. You go back and rest first. I'll send two more subordinates to send you back first. If there's any news, I'll immediately get someone to inform you.”
"That's good. Otherwise, I really want to sleep. Thank you for your hospitality today!”
"Miss, take care. Don't come here often in the future!”Tonight, in order to accompany her and wait for Lei Yuan, the bandit leader had no chance to come here to indulge in debauchery.
So, of course, he hoped that she would not come again. Otherwise, he would have to spend time entertaining her. He could not afford to offend Lei Yuan's people.
"Got it." Gege Xiangli's thoughts were in a mess and she didn't notice what the bandit leader said. Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely argue with him to the end.
Xiangli Gege had just stepped out of Happy Red Courtyard when she suddenly saw the familiar and long-missed Lei Yuan.
"Lei Yuan!" Once she saw Lei Yuan, Xiangli's thoughts of sleeping were swept away. She even suspected that she was sleepwalking when she saw him now.
She didn't expect that a day apart would feel like three years. She had just separated from him not long ago, and her life was already extremely boring because she didn't have him.
"Why are you in Joy Red Court?" In fact, Lei Yuan had been staying in a corner of Happy Red Courtyard for a long time. He knew that Xiangli Gege had come to find him, and he had been secretly protecting her because he had already discovered that someone was stalking Xiangli Gege and had only left not long ago.
If anything happened to her, Lei Yuan would definitely raze this Happy Red Courtyard to the ground.
Fortunately, the bandit leader was quite understanding and took good care of Gege Xiangli. The next time he saw the bandit leader, he had to praise him.
"I came to look for you, but you quit your job as the Headmaster without saying anything. Do you know that I miss you so much that I'm going crazy?”Gege Xiangli couldn't help but run towards Lei Yuan, hugging him tightly and telling him how she felt when she couldn't see him.
"I came to see you, didn't I? Don't be sad anymore." Lei Yuan also hugged Ge Xiangli tightly. He knew that she felt bad thinking about him, but wasn't he the same?
"I've waited for you for so long. I thought I wouldn't have the chance to see you again.”Xiangli said coquettishly.
"Idiot!" Lei Yuan patted Xiangli's head dotingly." How about we find another place to talk? Don't talk at the entrance of Happy Red Courtyard and hinder their business.”
"Alright, then let's hurry up and leave!”Xiangli held Lei Yuan's hand with her small hands.
"If you walk, your legs will break. Can you ride a horse?”
"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!"
"Strange! I remember that you've always been disrespectful. When did you become so polite?”
"Aiyo! You're so polite because of you! Let's go, let's go quickly."
Lei Yuan and Xiangli Gege rode their horses and left the Happy Red Courtyard.
Yu Long was embroidering in her room when Nanny Xu rushed in with an old book in her hand.
"Yu Long!"
"What is it, Granny Xu? Look at how anxious you are!"
"Yu Long, I've found Xiangli's fatal injury.”Granny Xu happily reported.
Yu Long hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and asked Granny Xu,""Really? What was it? Quickly tell me."
"You know what? The people I sent found this list of names in Xiangli Gege's room.”As Granny Xu spoke, she handed the name list to Yu Long.
"That's great, that's great! This time, Xiangli would not be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, treason was the only death penalty.”At this moment, Yu Long's mood was really carefree.
"Not only that, Yu Long, did you know? Xiangli Gege even dressed up as a man and sneaked into Happy Red Courtyard.”Nanny Xu proudly told Yu Long about this new discovery. She did not expect Yu Xiangli's private life to be so indecent.
"That matter is really interesting. I didn't expect that besides being linked to the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, Xiangli also had a special hobby. She liked to dress up as a man and go to Happy Red Courtyard.”
"That's right. Yu Long, I think it's better for you to tell the Emperor about this as soon as possible.”
"I won't be careless about dealing with Xiangli. I'll go to the palace tomorrow morning. Granny Xu, thank you for your help.”
"It's my duty to help you. You're too kind.”Granny Xu said respectfully.
"Granny Xu has such a sweet mouth."
Yu Long knew that with this list of names, she was certain that she would win against Xiangli.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:43AM
