The next day, the wind was warm and sunny, magpies were singing on the branches, and the excitement of silk and bamboo orchestras was heard from Prince Zun’s Mansion, which occupied half of Qingyun Street.

Everyone in the capital knew that Li Si was a sick man, and no one said anything if he didn't come to congratulate him this time. However, Li Si still cleaned himself up and followed his parents-in-law and husband.

But she is not here to congratulate you.

One of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is called borrowing a knife to kill, and what Li Si wanted to borrow to kill Zheng Rong was the Regent's knife.

The banquet was held in the garden, with a lily belt in the middle, and men and women sat on both sides.

"This flower is blooming so beautifully."

"Yes, beautiful flowers have better meanings. The regent and Mr. Li's five thousand gold are really a match made in heaven."

At the first table on the ladies' side are Qi Ling's mother, Cheng Qingyun, the Prime Minister's wife, and several ladies. With the powerful alliance between the Regent and the Prime Minister's Office, those ladies are doing their best to fawn over.

, you will praise whatever you see in your eyes, lest someone say less.

It was lively and joyful here, and Countess Ningji, who was several tables away from them, felt a little uncomfortable. She also wanted to go over to curry favor, but she was afraid of being too conspicuous, which would not only offend the nobles at the table, but also make others say

Her powerful appearance.

People are like this, they want both benefits and a good reputation.

In the midst of the tangle, he glanced at his daughter-in-law beside him. He felt happy and straightened his expression and said, "You are also from the Prime Minister's Palace. Today is your sister's wedding day. Why don't you come over to say congratulations?

”

She looked down on Li Si in her heart, and her tone of voice was full of contempt for Li Si's inability to do things.

Li Si had no choice but to take the wine glass, get up and go to the first table to congratulate.

"We are all sisters, why are there such big differences? There are no rules."

Countess Ningji rolled her eyes at Li Si's back and muttered like this. Everyone at the table curled their lips after hearing this. One of them also said: "Why are these words so sour? I want to marry someone else."

If you have rules, you have to see if you are worthy."

The people at the same table all had similar backgrounds, so no one needed to be afraid of anyone else. The woman didn’t shy away from what she said, and Countess Ningji’s face instantly turned ugly.

Someone also asked her whether Zheng Rong's drunken words a few days ago were true or false, and whether Li Si's illness was really caused by Zheng Rong's added ingredients?

What they want to ask is actually whether Zheng Rong is in love with Li Yu, and whether he deliberately harmed Li Si for Li Yu to make him linger on the sickbed. Furthermore, what is the relationship between Zheng Rong and Li Yu? Is Zheng Rong unrequitedly in love with Li Yu, or is he unrequitedly in love with Li Yu?

Two people...

But in the royal palace, they didn't dare to take advantage of his fiancée, so they only asked if Li Si's illness was caused by Zheng Rong.

Countess Ningji couldn't resist it, so she escaped from the embarrassment by avoiding going to the toilet.

Li Si came to Cheng Qingyun with a wine glass. Yingying bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your mother okay?"

Cheng Qingyun was chatting with a noble lady. After hearing this, she turned around and looked over. Seeing that she was the cheap legitimate daughter left by the previous lady, she felt disdain in her heart. However, in front of everyone, she still behaved in a provocative manner.

Not a single mistake.

"You're a big girl. You are sick and you should get more rest. It's hot these days, so it's better to go out and walk less, so as not to get burned by the sun."

"Yes, the fifth sister and the regent are a match made in heaven. My daughter congratulates her mother and fifth sister."

Li Si drank the wine in the glass. Although Cheng Qingyun didn't like the eldest daughter in her heart, the words of congratulations were still useful to her, and she happily drank with her.

"My daughter's health has been much better recently. She will go back to visit her mother and father more often in the future to fulfill her filial duty as a daughter." After congratulating Li Si, he did not leave immediately, but chatted, "In summer, the lotus pond in the backyard

The lotus flowers in the pond should be in bloom. I used to run there with my younger brother when I was a child, often breaking off the branches and leaves of a pond of lotus flowers. Thinking about it now, I really miss it."

Li Si's words were casual and seemed to be casual, but Cheng Qingyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what Li Si meant by what he said. Fortunately, she responded quickly and said with a smile: "If you miss home, come back often."

Li Si nodded and left, but Cheng Qingyun's good mood was disturbed.

Brother? Which brother?

There are five young masters in the prime minister's house, excluding the one who drowned at the age of three. Li Si has never taken any of his younger brothers to play in the lotus pond in the backyard, but it is the one who drowned. When summer comes, the lady in front of her

I often take them to the pavilion near the lotus pond to cool off.

Thinking of this, Cheng Qingyun was slightly surprised, so the younger brother Li Si mentioned should be the one who drowned. However, he mentioned him so well and also mentioned the lotus pond in the backyard. Could it be that Li Si knew something?

Before Li Si came to congratulate him, the sky was bright and the wine was sweet. But after Li Si came to congratulate him and said something incomprehensible, the bright sky was clouded and the wine was tasteless.

The table was still cheering each other up, but under the harmonious surface, everyone's thoughts were already wandering. Cheng Qingyun was thinking about the meaning of Li Si's words, while the others were gossiping, and their eyes were secretly poking from time to time.

Look over at Li Si.

I heard that Li Si could not get out of bed before, but now she can walk and socialize. It seems that it is true that her illness was caused by Zheng Rong.

Especially Qi Ling's mother, the look she looked at Cheng Qingyun was not as friendly as before.

It is true that Li Si's illness was caused by Zheng Rong. It is also said that Zheng Rong did this in order to meet more with Li Yu. It is also probably true. Since it is true, then Zheng Rong and

What is Li Yu’s relationship?

She did not object to her son's desire to marry into the prime minister's family, but she also did not want her son to marry an unfaithful woman.

Li Si's congratulations disturbed the festive atmosphere of the table, but when he came back, nothing happened.

She was only five years old when the original owner's brother drowned in the lotus pond, and she didn't remember anything at all. However, after witnessing the overt and covert fighting in the family, the original owner had doubts about the death of her brother and mother, but she didn't find anything, so that's all.

That’s all.
