Zhong Li sighed and said frankly, "It's not necessarily that he is interested in me. He has a weird temper, and he has never gotten along with the noble girl next to him. Maybe he chose me because he was afraid of trouble."
Li Mingqian didn't think so, and said, "It seems that you don't know how many ministers he has offended in order to marry you. If he is really afraid of trouble, he should choose one of those noble ladies."
Li Mingqian told Pei Xing's words in the courtroom one by one.
The reason why Li Mingqian knew about this was because of what his sister-in-law said. Her elder brother and sister-in-law have always had a deep relationship. Even if it was a matter in the court, the elder brother would tell his sister-in-law. Knowing that she had a good relationship with Zhong Li, the sister-in-law told her about this. told her.
Li Mingqian said: "Don't you know that at that time, several ministers who wanted to let their girls enter the palace were so scared that their faces turned pale, lest the emperor point out that their girls had bad morals. Whether it was Qin Shangshu's granddaughter or Zhao Qiuting, their reputations were ruined. Now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about relatives in the future. Zhao Qiuting was so domineering and arrogant in the past, but now she doesn't dare to leave the door, lest the emperor remember this and let her pay her life."
Zhong Li couldn't help being stunned, she really didn't know about this.
She thought that if she really married him, she would definitely be criticized by ministers because of her low status in the future. Who would have guessed that he had solved this problem.
Li Mingqian smiled and said, "Although the ministers think that he acts recklessly and is not like an emperor, young people admire him very much. I originally thought that a proud person like him, even if he has a girl he likes, is still aloof and arrogant. , I didn't realize until now that he is different from what I imagined, and it turns out that he will also protect the girl he likes."
Zhong Li didn't know how to answer this.
Isn't he just arrogant and domineering, ordering her like a maid?
Zhong Li said: "Don't talk about him, I heard that your marriage has also been fixed, is the date set?"
Li Mingqian's pale cheeks were stained with a hint of crimson, "It's fixed, we will get married by the end of the year."
Zhong Li smiled and said: "There are still a few months, it will be very soon. I have seen An Shizi once. On the old lady's birthday, he went to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He has an open-eyed smile and a cheerful temperament, after you marry him, you will be able to be harmonious and beautiful."
Li Mingqian hadn't met An Yi yet, so he only heard from his brother that his conduct was okay, but he was a little lazy. , he can make criminals lose their blood when he is talking and laughing.
Li Mingqian couldn't help pulling Zhong Li and asked Ansan, "What does he look like? I heard that he looks like Pan An, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Li Mingqian likes good-looking people. She has always heard that An Yi was born very handsome, but unfortunately, she has never been able to meet her. Among the younger generation in the capital, Lu Yanrui and Xiao Sheng are the most outstanding in terms of talents and looks. Pei Xing and An Yi.
Zhong Li has always paid less attention to appearance. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered what An Yi looked like. She smiled and said, "If you are not in a hurry to go back, I can draw it for you."
Li Mingqian nodded again and again, Zhong Li asked Cheng'er to practice calligraphy with Xiaoxiang and Koizumi, and she took Li Mingqian to the study.
She grasped his charm very well, and the man in the painting was smiling, and there was a trace of handsomeness in his arrogance.
Li Mingqian's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, "Is it really so beautiful?"
Her appearance is only above average among noble girls. She believes that she is not comparable to Zhong Li or her cousin. Who would have expected her future husband to be so extraordinary.
Zhong Li smiled and said, "Now that you are engaged, there must be more chances to meet each other. You will know when the time comes."
As she spoke, she picked up the fire book and planned to burn the portrait. Although An Yi was Li Mingqian's fiancé, he was a foreigner after all. Naturally, it was inconvenient to keep this painting. Somethin comes.
Seeing that she was about to burn it, Li Mingqian was startled, "Oh, what a pity it was burnt. Give it to me, just as it's my birthday, it's my birthday present."
The girl was the age of the first love, and her fiancé was on the painting. Li Mingqian was a little reluctant to watch it burn.
She put her hands together and said with a smile, "Please, please."
Zhong Li put away the fire book, "It's done, you put it away, don't let outsiders find out, or it won't be good for your reputation."
Li Mingqian nodded, until the ink was dry, she carefully put away the portrait, folded it, and put it in her arms.
Seeing her cautious appearance, Zhong Li shook her head amusingly.
When she met her playful gaze, Li Mingqian blushed a little, and then realized that her behavior seemed to be inappropriate, she coughed lightly: "If it wasn't for the engagement, I wouldn't leave it, anyway. is my future husband."
Cheng'er just finished practicing a big character, and brought Koizumi and Xiaoxiang to her sister's place. Hearing the words, she blinked curiously, "What is your husband?"
Li Mingqian has a lively temperament, and also likes the little guy Cheng'er. He smiled and said, "My husband is the person I want to marry in the future. When Cheng'er grows up and marries a wife, your wife will also call you husband."
Cheng'er vaguely understood, and asked curiously, "Is it your husband after getting married?"
Li Mingqian nodded with a smile.
Cheng'er jumped up in front of Zhong Li, tilted her head, and looked at her in confusion, "Then why isn't my sister called Third Uncle?"
Zhong Li poked his little head, "Sister and he are not married, what is your husband?"
Cheng'er couldn't tell the difference between engagement and marriage. He thought that his elder sister and third uncle were already married, so he smiled, "Then I will wait for third uncle and elder sister to marry."
Zhong Li angrily poked his little head, Cheng'er felt a little aggrieved, and pouted, "Sister, what are you doing!"
Li Mingqian couldn't help laughing, and joked: "Your sister doesn't want to get married yet, it's alright to get married. At that time, you will have many people you can rely on, even if your husband can't count on it, there is still a son, and a cub is born. I can also play with Cheng'er."
