Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 224 Humiliation
The thing that Li Yanjun can't explain now is the thunder at the family dinner that day.She also felt a little guilty, but when she thought about her future, this guilt was forgotten by her.

Choking and choking, she still wanted to force herself to defend herself: "The thunder was just a coincidence, what has it to do with me? It wasn't the thunder that I was talking about. I had already finished talking at that time, and you were the one talking! Maybe You were the one who was struck by lightning?!"

Li Lijun sneered: "At that time, what I said was that I believed in you. Only you said that if you didn't mean it, you would be struck by lightning. If God couldn't see it, you, a liar, would be struck by lightning. Because I was deceived by you, I will also be struck by lightning. Lei came to warn me. After all, it is your problem!"

"Okay, okay!" Li Dai yelled with a headache, "That thunder was just a coincidence, what's the fuss about?!"

Li Lijun said: "Where are there so many coincidences? There was no wind or rain that night, and there was no second thunder. How could this thunder strike just above our palace? There must be a warning from heaven! The palace is so big, The thunder was only on the top of the hall where the family banquet was held. If the thunder was not the third sister who struck, could it be possible that he could also strike other people? No one in the whole family did anything bad enough to be struck by lightning! Not the third sister, Who could it be?!"

It is impossible for Li Dai to take the blame, let alone say that his father, King Sui, did something bad. If he blamed his stepmother and younger brother, who he disliked, it would probably be untenable.After thinking about it for a while, he could only acquiesce that the concubine was to blame.He waved his hand lightly: "It's all over, it's not a decent thing, just pretend it didn't happen, why keep talking about it?!" After speaking, he warned Li Yanjun with his eyes, "Yanniang will Just don't swear indiscriminately. Swear and be careful with what you say."

Li Yanjun's face was flushed red, but she still had her own goals to achieve, so she couldn't care about defending herself for the time being, so she could only bow her head aggrievedly, and then brought the topic back to the right track: "Eldest sister and fourth sister are still I didn't make it clear, why didn't you say good things for Aye in front of the noble concubine."

Li Chujun had enjoyed watching the play just now, and he calmed down a little bit. Now that he heard Li Yanjun's words, his anger suddenly rose again: "When did I say such a thing?! You bribed the slut around me to slander Me, do you think I will admit it?!"

Li Yanjun whispered: "Have you ever said that Aye can make his own decision by lighting a bright candle, and he can still wrong the eldest sister?"

Li Chujun's brows stood on end when he heard that, Li Lijun was afraid of her temper, so he admitted the crime on the spur of the moment, and said first: "Now I understand why the third sister insists on putting a crime on me and the eldest sister. It's because the servant girl heard me tell my elder sister that day that if I really want to find a sister to accompany me to see the noble concubine, I would rather let the elder sister come? The third sister didn't want someone else to take this position, so she poured dirty water on me and the eldest sister. As long as Aye can convince Aye that neither the eldest sister nor I will devote ourselves to his official position, and only the good daughter, the third sister, will contribute to him, then no matter how unwilling I am, Aye will insist on arranging the third sister to be with me I'm going to see the princess."

Li Lijun turned her head to look at Li Dai: "It's just that the third sister doesn't know, the elder sister has already rejected the proposal, because she still remembers how her mother died, and she doesn't want to see the imperial concubine. The third sister is a villain, and she will not hesitate to achieve her goal. Lies and slanders, she insisted on going to see the imperial concubine with her son, what was her plan? The third sister was so sure, did she think that she would be able to obtain a high official position for Aye? What did she plan to say to impress the imperial concubine? Did Aye ask clearly? After all, the third sister is still young, and she seldom enters the palace, and she has never seen the imperial concubine. Even if she had met Mrs. Qin a few times in the past, how can she guarantee that the imperial concubine will listen to her? What about words? In case she says something wrong and breaks a taboo, the imperial concubine may not care about her child, but she may not blame Aye. Aye should be more cautious."

Li Dai is very indifferent to other things, only his own official career is the most important thing.Hearing Li Lijun's words, he was persuaded by Li Yanjun at first, but now he hesitated again.

He turned to Li Yanjun: "Yanniang, tell Weifu, what kind of rhetoric do you plan to use to impress the concubine?"

Li Yanjun's real reliance is not on rhetoric, how could it be easily exposed in front of Li Chujun and Li Lijun?She smiled at her father with a stiff face: "Aye, my son is about to discuss this matter with you." Then she silently recited a rainbow fart, which made Li Dai feel happy: "That's right. It's very well said."

It's a pity that Li Lijun poured cold water on the side: "It sounds very pleasant, but the third sister praised Aye so well in front of the imperial concubine, she is talented, beautiful, young and strong, the saint really won't be angry?"

Li Dai was almost choked: "What..." His expression changed slightly.His purpose of ingratiating the imperial concubine is to let the imperial concubine give the emperor a pillow. If he offends the emperor just because he pleases the imperial concubine, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse? !
He hurriedly said to Li Yanjun: "Change the words, don't let the sage misunderstand!"

But how can this rhetoric be changed?Li Dai is not really talented, and his appearance and demeanor cannot be praised, so there is nothing to praise.You can't brag about the fact that he was a local official but did a mess in the past, can you?
Li Dai's mood suddenly changed a lot.It turned out that Li Yanjun's guarantee in front of him was not as reliable as she said.If so, why would he take the risk to send the child to the imperial concubine, so that the imperial concubine can recognize that it is the daughter of Xiao Yang?If it affects the child's future marriage, the loss outweighs the gain.

Seeing this, Li Yanjun was secretly anxious, is it possible that she really wants to reveal that secret?But if she didn't say it, she might not have the chance to see the imperial concubine.

She secretly took a look at Li Chujun and Li Lijun, and saw that the former looked at her with mocking eyes, as if he was laughing at her for wasting all her work.The servant girl kneeling on the ground has long been ignored, and I'm afraid it will not end well after returning.How could she be reconciled to sacrificing an eyeliner who was finally arranged by the elder sister's side, but she didn't get any benefits?Li Yanjun straightened his mind and said to Li Dai: "Aye, I want to talk to you alone. As long as this matter can be achieved, no matter whether you want a high official or an official, I will be sure to persuade the noble concubine!"

Li Dai raised his eyebrows, looked back at the other two daughters, and sent them away without much hesitation, and by the way, he also had the maid who gave false testimony away.Even though the maid was crying and begging for mercy, he didn't take another look at her.

Li Chujun only felt that the good mood just now had disappeared.She felt humiliated.When she walked out of the west courtyard together with Li Lijun, she turned her head to look in the direction of the main hall with hatred, gritted her teeth and said, "Aye always said that brother and I are the ones who love me the most, but the third one just said a word, and he kicked me out." The house! Today’s humiliation, I will keep it in my heart, sooner or later..." She didn't say what will happen sooner or later, but turned to look at Li Lijun, "Fourth, I will remember what you said that day. But Even if you and I join hands, what can we do with the third child? Aye stands behind her, even if you are reluctant, you can only take her to meet the noble concubine. What else can you do?!"

any solution?There is no way.The clothes Li Yanjun made were colorful, with a red headband.For other girls, it is no problem to wear it like this, and it looks more lively when visiting the garden in spring.But it has only been half a year since Mrs. Chen passed away, and Mrs. Yang also "died" for a few months. Two little girls dressed in filial piety went to meet nobles, one in plain clothes, and the other in red and green... I'm afraid they haven't been in front of the imperial concubine yet. , let's be picked on for her violation of etiquette first, right?
Ever since Li Lijun knew what kind of clothes Li Yanjun made for the meeting at the Shangsi Festival, she has never worried about this issue.
