Li Xiuning had seen Yang Zhao's gaze before.
The soldiers under her command had won a battle and received a reward. When they discussed going to Goulan Alley to drink wine, they had this kind of expression.
Every time she bumped into them, she would scold them, causing her subordinates to retreat resentfully.
Now, facing the same gaze from her husband, she was at a loss.
Was he really going to pull out his sword and kill him?
Then tomorrow morning, all the commoners and nobles in Luoyang City would hear a strange story:
The daughter of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, had killed her husband on the second day of their wedding!
The reason was that she refused to consummate her marriage with her husband.
Once this news spread, his Li family would become a laughing stock.
Li Xiu Ning could not allow the Li family's reputation to be tarnished.
Facing Yang Zhao's step-by-step approach, she could only bite her lips and bitterly close her eyes.
Yang Zhao's hand brushed past her ear, his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally lightly brushing against her ear. He took off the fox fur cloak hanging on the wall, draped it over his body, and pushed the door open.
When Li Xiu Ning heard the commotion and opened her eyes, she found that Yang Zhao was already in the courtyard.
Yang Zhao actually didn't touch him?
Li Xiuning heaved a sigh of relief. She stood at the door and looked at the back of the figure. She was in a daze and her eyes were filled with confusion.
She couldn't understand why Yang Zhao didn't touch her.
Although she was a soldier and didn't care about her appearance, she knew that the people of Luoyang privately rated her as one of the three beauties of the Eastern Capital.
After marrying such a beautiful wife like her and obtaining her tacit approval, any man would be eager to have her.
However, her husband, who came from a poor family, did not touch her.
Suddenly, Li Xiu Ning understood.
Yang Zhao was deliberately teasing her and embarrassing her, but in fact, he didn't put her beauty in his eyes at all.
"You actually dare to tease me, how annoying ~~"
Thinking back to her previous panic and embarrassment, which had completely become her own wishful thinking, Yang Zhao couldn't help but laugh at her in his heart. She couldn't help but blush.
Women were women after all, and Jade-faced Rakshasa was no exception.
The more men knelt down to flatter them, the more they despised them. On the contrary, men who ignored them would make them curious and let their imagination run wild.
"Young miss, the empress's phoenix carriage has arrived outside the manor.”
The servant girl's panicked voice sounded behind him.
Li Xiu Ning woke up from her daze. She didn't have time to remove her armor and rushed to the main door.
When she arrived at the entrance, Li Yuan and his wife, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and a few other children had already arrived.
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.
In recent years, because he had been keeping a low profile, his cousin, Emperor Yang Guang, had become less suspicious of him. Although he no longer targeted him, he deliberately distanced himself from him.
But today, Empress Xiao actually came personally, which really surprised Li Yuan.
Why did the Empress suddenly come?
What was her intention?
Could it be that he was ordered by the emperor to test him?
Just as Li Yuan was feeling uneasy, a figure dressed in noble clothes stepped into the Tang Public House with the help of a palace maid.
Li Yuan did not dare to be rude and quickly led his family to welcome him.
"Duke Tang is a relative, so there's no need to be so polite.”
Xiao Meiniang smiled and gently waved her hand, her eyebrows kind and gentle.
Li Yuan thanked him and stood up.
Xiao Meiniang glanced at the juniors and her gaze fell on Li Xiu Ning. She asked,"You must be Ning 'er. You're indeed a heroine.”
"Thank you for the Empress 'praise, Xiu Ning doesn't deserve it.”Li Xiu Ning didn't panic and responded calmly.
"Right, where's your husband, Yang Zhao?”Xiao Meiniang asked with a faint smile.
Li Yuan's expression changed, and he exchanged glances with Madam Dou. The two of them became even more suspicious, but they didn't expect that the high and mighty Empress Xiao Meiniang would actually know of Yang Zhao's existence.
"Yang…husband is in the study. The servant girl has already gone to call him and is most likely on her way. Please forgive him for not coming in time to welcome you!”
Li Xiu Ning was afraid that Xiao Meiniang would blame her, so she could only plead for Yang Zhao.
Xiao Meiniang nodded and praised," It turns out that this child is so hardworking. No wonder he has such amazing literary talent. Xiuning, you are really lucky to have married such a good husband who is both civil and martial."”
Li Xiu Ning was stunned and didn't know how to respond to Xiao Meiniang's praise.
"If I remember correctly, your study should be that way, right?”
Xiao Meiniang turned to Li Yuan.
"Yes…Yes, Your Highness has a good memory.”Li Yuan replied.
"BenGong came here specially to see your virtuous son-in-law. You guys go do your own things, there's no need to accompany him. BenGong will go to the study to find him.”
After saying that, Xiao Meiniang left lightly and went to the study under the surprised gazes of everyone in the Li residence.
Li Xiu Ning's expression was slightly stunned and she looked surprised. She had never expected that the Empress would come to her Li family to visit her husband.
