Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 111 Li Daitao is stiff, others have suffered (1)
Ji Chonglian was about to turn around the mahogany Eight Immortals table between the two of them as she spoke, and headed straight for the door. Her pace seemed to be not in a hurry, but her steps were much larger than usual.

If Li Zhao insisted on staying here for a long time, she could leave first, so as not to be bumped into by others, it would be unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around the Eight Immortals Table, a figure flashed in front of her, and Li Zhao was already standing in front of her, with her long arms stretched out, blocking all possible exits.

"Back then, you were rude first and hurt others later. How can you just leave so easily now?"

Li Zhao grabbed Ji Chonglian's wrist, forcing her to get closer, a sweet and elegant fragrance rushed into her nose, Li Zhao's mind moved, and his fingers passed through her hair , and suddenly picked up the hair tie.

Ji Chonglian's cloud-like black hair spread out immediately. Her hair was already smooth like silk, slipping between Li Zhao's fingers. He wanted to grab it, but it slipped away, leaving only a touch The lingering fragrance lingers.

Ji Chonglian tilted her head to avoid, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, she bit her lips and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that Shi Ziye wanted to cut off the hands of our siblings, would I have done that in a hurry?"

"My lord, you are now in the inner house of the Meng Mansion. I advise you not to deceive others too much! Maybe you don't care about the words of impeachment by the officials and envoys, but please take care of Lingnan King's face!"

Ji Chonglian said this with righteousness and sternness. Although it was an immature child's voice, it sounded a bit majestic and imposing. Li Zhao was stunned, and Ji Chonglian struggled to twist his arm out. She looked down, The originally fair wrist was already reddened.

"It's not bad to know that my father is used to suppress me!"

Li Zhao clapped his hands and applauded, the corners of his lips gradually parted, and a smile of appreciation appeared on his face.

He really didn't misjudge the person, this girl is young but she is brave in the face of danger, she is very intelligent and quick-witted, and now she can even bring out the King of Lingnan to suppress him, knowing what he taboos, she is really a wonderful person!
Li Zhao's ears moved, and he could already hear the sound of approaching footsteps not far away.

The emerald green silk ribbon was wrapped between his fingers and gathered in the palm of his hand. It seemed that the silkiness of her hair and the indelible lingering fragrance still remained between his fingers. Li Zhao smiled softly and took a deep look at Ji Chonglian. "We'll see each other again!"

Li Zhao slammed forward with his right hand, Ji Chonglian only felt a strong push to push her back, and the whole person fell down on the soft couch, and regained consciousness, there was no sign of Li Zhao in front of him.

Bi Yuan stepped in at this moment, and when she saw the chess pieces scattered all over the floor, her expression changed suddenly, she ran over in surprise, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, girl?"

Ji Chonglian took a deep breath, sat upright slowly, wiped off the fine sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, finally shook her head slowly and tiredly, today is really dangerous!

The old butler of the Meng Mansion asked people to search around, but he did not see Li Zhao. Now he was in a hurry. He asked the wife of the second gate, but he had not seen him go out until it was almost dark. The steward there heard the news, and the old steward knew that the Prince of Lingnan had already left the Meng Mansion in the middle of the afternoon, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the nervousness of other people in the Meng Mansion, Ji Chonglian's mood gradually calmed down.

Although Li Zhao's appearance today was an accident, as far as this situation is concerned, it seems that there is no malice towards her.

They were alone together, she had nowhere to ask for help, if Li Zhao wanted to hurt her, it would only be for a moment, but his appearance seemed to be mostly playful.

Ji Chonglian couldn't understand this point.

It stands to reason that after three years of precipitation, if it wasn't an enmity, then there were other changes that made Li Zhao change his mind.

Although the 17-year-old boy still has a fierce flash of light in his eyes, he is better at hiding his emotions than he was three years ago.

Li Zhao is still dangerous, and she will never take the initiative to approach her. It seems that Ji Chongyu must be more careful in the future. Since Li Zhao has noticed them, it is better to leave Shangjing as soon as possible.

I don't know the relationship between the girl I met at the back of Lingyin Temple and Li Zhao. Such a girl is not something they can climb up to. It seems completely right to reject the girl's invitation that day. If he continued to stay in Lingyin Temple, he might be caught by Li Zhao.

After returning to Shangjing, she also secretly inquired that Li Zhao's situation is not very good. Although he has the honorable status of the son of Lingnan Prince, he is now under house arrest in Shangjing, and his freedom cannot be guaranteed.

And under such circumstances, it is very unlikely that Li Zhao would cause any troubles. Keeping a low profile is the only way for him to survive. He is only in the Meng Mansion today, but many people have seen it. I hope it will not cause trouble. That's good.

It is not unreasonable for Ji Chonglian to have this worry, because just a few days later, the Meng Mansion and several girls from Ji's family who lived here received invitations from Princess Chaoyang at the same time, inviting famous ladies from Shanghai to the moon feast.

It happened that Hongxiu was the one who came to Meng's mansion to deliver the post. Ji Chonglian knew something wrong when she saw her, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to evade it. On that day, she could only bite the bullet and go with Ji Furong and the others.

Princess Chaoyang's biological mother, Concubine Li, was the emperor's favorite concubine in the past, but later she was rejected by the emperor for some reason. Guessers don't know how to guess, and there are books and biographies dedicated to these miscellaneous stories and unofficial histories. Ji Chonglian only read a little, but she didn't dare to guess.

After the death of Concubine Oriole, the little princess was left struggling to survive in the palace. When everyone looked down on this little girl, she suddenly rose to prominence and regained the emperor's favor.

Ji Chonglian kept silent about everything she knew in her mind, but her heart was even heavier, full of confusion and uneasiness about this banquet.

Princess Chaoyang's moon-watching banquet was held in the "Yanxia Palace", a palace built on a high platform, shrouded in clouds at dusk, as beautiful as a fairyland.

The procedure of entering the palace is extremely cumbersome. It needs to be guided by court ladies and eunuchs, and it must be classified and inspected. Unclean and unclean things cannot be brought into the palace. walk around.

Although the rules are so strict, the socialites in Beijing are proud of receiving invitations from Princess Chaoyang. Who doesn't know that Princess Chaoyang is the emperor's favorite little princess, and it will only benefit themselves and their family if they please this princess. .

Before getting close to the "Yanxia Palace", one can see red lanterns protruding from the glazed eaves on the roof of the palace from a distance. The bright fire light flutters, really like shining stars.

Meng Ping is the only girl from the Meng family who has not left the cabinet, but she has already made a decision. Today she brought several girls from the Ji family here, talking and laughing along the way, and introducing them to the famous ladies in Beijing.
