The Marquis was not a royal man, but an old minister who had operated in the court for many years and had many meritorious deeds. When returning home, the emperor considered his credit and granted him a marquis. Therefore, not only the princes, but also many officials' children in the court and rich businessmen in the city came to attend his birthday banquet.

Li Rushu left late. She handed over her birthday gift to the mansion. Just after turning around for a while, she saw that Lu Peizheng was singing poetry against several aristocratic sons. He was dressed in a moon white robe and tied up with a gold belt, which made his body look plump and handsome. She also tied up his long hair with a hairpin on his head. Her temperament was neat and clean, and there was a touch of bookishness in her nobility.

Although several princes still despise Lu Pei, in the eyes of all the aristocratic sons on the court, he is the object everyone wants to make friends with, not to mention those official children. Therefore, Lu Pei is very conspicuous among the people and has a feeling of standing out from the crowd. He is also happy with himself and is very satisfied with his popularity.

A few days later, there was more sunshine. Li Rushu was surprised at his changes and felt a trace of relief.

It seems that he has heard what he said. He is not only more confident, but also learned to make friends with friends. Even when he came here just now, he heard several young ladies of marriageable age talking about him.

At this time, Lu Li found her and walked over with a smile. Before he could speak, Li Rushu pointed to Lu Pei's figure with an expression of solicitation in his eyes and asked, "Your Highness, do you think your highness Qi is different from before?" With that, she proudly said her teaching that day.

Who knows, Lu Li didn't praise after listening, and even the smile on his face disappeared. Looking at Lu Pei's face dancing in the crowd, he said faintly for a long time: "Li Rujing, you think this is good for him, in fact... It may push him into the pit..."

"Why do you say that?" Li Rushu was stunned. His eyes took back from Lu Pei. Looking at Lu Li's eyes, he felt a little unhappy. He really thought for Lu Pei and wanted to make him happy.

Lu Li seemed to see through her expression. He really couldn't bear to scold too much. He whispered, "no wonder you didn't see through the deep meaning. You didn't grow up in the palace."

Li Rushu wanted to ask again, but Lu Li pulled his sleeve and said, "this is not a place to talk. Go there." Then he raised his feet and walked to a pavilion in the yard. There was no one there for the time being, and the environment was very quiet.

Realizing something was wrong, Li Rushu hurriedly followed up and sat down in the pavilion.

There is a not too deep gully in the pavilion, which is led to the lake in the backyard. The gurgling water flows across it. There are a lot of moss and some unknown flowers on the surrounding ground. Lu Li looks at it faintly and his eyes drift away.

"The seventh younger brother was a little weaker before. Like me, he was bullied by those imperial brothers..." his voice seemed to come from a far place without a trace of emotion. He said those things in the past. He looked lonely. Then his tone of mouth changed, and his eyes became more painful. He said, "but such days are also a kind of protection for us, because those people just make us a little bad, When we meet a big deal, we will be beaten and scolded by the other party, but we will not be... They are afraid that we have the ability to compete for something. "

Li Rushu was completely shocked. Lu Li's words sounded in her mind like startling radium. He was right. The so-called big trees attract the wind. Now the seventh Prince seems to have a lot of light, but who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at him behind him?

"Your Highness, do you blame me when I pull you up from the bottom?" Thinking of his words and looking at his lonely look, Li Rusu suddenly asked, "seriously, will you blame me?"

Since she helped Lu Li, he has changed from a prince who everyone can bully to a prince who performs meritorious deeds frequently. He has some contacts and power in his hands. Even Lu Ming and Lu Nian seem to regard him as competitors. In addition to disdain, there are also some vigilance and fear in their eyes. I don't know if he will regret knowing himself.

Lu Li didn't seem to expect that she would ask so. He looked back blankly and said, "why do you blame you?"

"You said just now that I pushed your highness Qi into the pit..." Li Rusu's voice was very light, with silk grievances in his eyes.

"I won't. You let me pick up my self-confidence step by step and come out of the mud. We have experienced a lot. Although this road is not easy, I never regret it. I just don't want my seventh brother to get involved again."

Li Rushu was relieved and looked relaxed. He looked in the direction of Lu Pei's group. The people who were still singing poetry had dispersed, and he didn't know where he had gone. "That's already like this. What should we do to make him less eye-catching?"

"Don't think so much. After all, it's only these days that the seventh brother is in the limelight. Those people don't necessarily notice him soon. I'll do something about the rest."

The two men sat in the pavilion and said a lot of things. When they saw that there were more people in the banquet hall, the family began to pass dishes there. Thinking that the LORD would ask people to come out and invite them to dinner later, they got up and walked over there.

"Your Highness, your highness is not good."

A man came running from a distance. He looked flustered. He was the boy beside Lu Pei. He ran straight to Lu Li and saluted hurriedly. "My highness has an accident over the moat. Your highness, go and have a look."

Lu Li was stunned and hurriedly asked, "did the seventh brother go to the moat? What happened to him? "

The young man ran so fast just now that he was out of breath. He bent down and gasped a few breaths. He said, "I don't know who the hell is. He said that the temperature of the moat river is just right for diving. Your highness is going to compete with people... I found a body in the river and fainted..."

Lu Li was shocked and turned pale. He raised his feet and walked outside the door. Li Rusu quickly followed. The servant at the door knew them. He only said something temporary and didn't cross examine them.

When I got to the moat, I saw that many people had been surrounded. It was dark.

At the same time, Li Rushu looked inside through the crowd to find Lu Pei's figure.

He lay upright on the ground, standing next to several men drenched with water. He was probably frightened. He held the willow trees by the river and trembled. Looking aside, he found that there were some things such as water, grass and mud, vaguely emitting a bad smell.

"What's going on?" Lu Li quickly walked over and squatted down. He looked at Lu Pei's eyes and opened his eyelids with both hands. He was relieved.

"Don't blame us, he wants to compete..."

One of the participants came over and talked about his experience.

He was the only son of emperor Shang. During the competition in the river just now, the two men found the body under the water at the same time. Shocked, they were busy rowing on the river. Unexpectedly, the seventh Prince's hands and feet swung disorderly, and his mouth blistered. Only then did they know that he choked the water and quickly pulled him up. The other party didn't know whether he was frightened or choked. In short, they didn't breathe. At the moment, Lu Li looked angry, His face turned whiter and whiter with fear.
