Chapter 285
Ever since Adi was announced to the palace that day, Li Qingyou had been thinking about it. Finally, he came back safe and sound, and asked him how he was doing.
Adi said it was okay, but Li Qingyou didn't believe it, thinking that he didn't want her to worry.
Originally, Li Qingyou planned to explain to Princess Duanyang one day when she saw him, but she didn't expect that she would come to visit her the next day. Not only the next day, but also every other time after that.
At first, Li Qingyou was worried that the royal princess was spoiled and had a bad temper. Unexpectedly, after getting to know the little princess, she was quite lively and cute, except for occasionally asking her some embarrassing questions.
"Sister, why don't you get married?" Princess Duanyang blinked her big eyes and asked while eating the exquisite snacks she brought.
Li Qingyou, "..."
This question is not easy to explain. How can she tell the other party that she is not yet twenty and it is too early to find a partner. It is normal to fall in love at this age, but it is too early to get married.
But she couldn't say something that was obviously against the times. After all, the Duanyang Princess in front of her was engaged when she was only fourteen years old. At her age, she was already the mother of several children in ancient times.
"Uh... I was busy making a living before, so I never cared about it, and I never met the right person." Li Qingyou could only explain it this way, which was not a lie.
"But sister, you don't have to be busy now." Princess Duanyang looked innocent and clapped her hands together, as if she had guessed, "I know, she must have not met the person she likes."
That’s not wrong.
"I told you earlier, sister, there is no need to worry. There are countless young talents in this capital, and I will definitely help my sister find a good match." Princess Duanyang did not wait for Li Qingyou to speak, and said to herself: "The second young master of Qu, the Minister of Punishment, is well-known.
In the capital, he has the title of the number one son in the capital, and also belongs to the family of the Minister of Civil Affairs..."
Princess Duanyang said several things in one breath, and without exception they were all young men from aristocratic families. Li Qingyou simply didn't know what to say.
She had heard of these people a long time ago, and naturally she heard the ladies talking behind their backs. They all said that men like to talk about women when they get together. In fact, women are the same, and a group of noble ladies who are waiting for marriage are also talking behind their backs.
The dignitaries in the capital all have outstanding talents from that young master.
The second young master Qu Er in Princess Duanyang's mouth is undoubtedly the first choice among the noble ladies, and the others she mentioned later are also frequent visitors among the noble ladies.
"Your Highness Princess, please stop making fun of people's girls. People's girls know that they have a low status and are scapegoats, so they are really not worthy of these young men." Li Qingyou smiled, she did not have the courage to marry a group of noble girls.
Moreover, she has met two of these so-called aristocratic young men. Li Qingyou once visited the home of two noble ladies, and it happened that the two young men were the noble ladies' brothers. In Li Qingyou's opinion, the name was not worthy of the name, one had a fat head and a pink face, and the other
One of them had purple eyes and looked weak from drinking too much.
Even so, it still cannot stop them from becoming a good son-in-law in the eyes of women because they have a good background.
"It's such a pity." Princess Duanyang sighed, and glanced at Li Qingyou intentionally or unintentionally, "It's all the fault of Zhaodi. That day, my father originally wanted to give my sister the title of county lord, as well as a town and a fief.
It’s a pity that Zhaodi refused, don’t you think that’s irritating?”
Li Qingyou was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know about this. At the same time, she scolded Adi in her heart. This little bastard was holding her back everywhere.
However, Li Qingyou was not really angry. Adi had made up his mind since he was a child and acted prudently. There must be his reasons for doing this.
Princess Duanyang coveted Li Qingyou and couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw that she wasn't angry. This was one of the strategies her mother gave her, telling her not to quarrel with her consort, but to start from within and drive a wedge between their siblings.
But it doesn’t seem to work well right now.
Li Qingyou didn't realize how deep the little princess was, so she just thought it was a child who couldn't hide her words, so she changed the topic and continued chatting.
Li Qingyou didn't take it to heart, but Adi had to take it to heart. He had just come back from outside after finishing his errands, and was thinking of coming to see Li Qingyou when he heard from the concierge that Princess Duanyang was here again.
Adi's heart was full of joy, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head, and he was extremely irritable. Now that he heard her nonsense again, he became even more furious.
"Why are you so angry?" Adi walked in with a sullen face and spoke rudely, "My sister has not done anything for the imperial court, so she accepted the position of the county head rashly for fear of offending the public. She is causing trouble for the Holy Lord. Princess, is it possible?
Shouldn’t we think more about the Holy One?”
Princess Duanyang choked and her little face turned red. Naturally, she was not shy, but angry.
Li Qingyou didn't expect that his brother would come back, let alone that he would be so angry as soon as he spoke. She is a delicate princess, the daughter of a thousand gold. Has he lost his mind?
"Why are you talking? Why don't you apologize to the princess?" Li Qingyou stood up quickly to smooth things over, while giving Adi a wink.
Of course, Adi would not be tough, so he said a few polite words and finally gave the little princess some face.
Adi is really annoyed with the little princess. His sister Qingyou may not see it, but he can clearly see that the little princess did it on purpose.
However, now that he couldn't be direct, he could only adopt a roundabout tactic, suggesting that the third prince's concubine wanted to see Li Qingyou, and at the same time turned back to Princess Duanyang to see her off in a tactful manner.
"It just so happens that I haven't seen the Third Emperor's sister-in-law for a while, so I'll just go with you." Princess Duanyang didn't know whether she was really cold or intentional. In short, she just clung to her.
The veins on Adi's forehead were pulsing, almost reaching the edge of endurance.
Li Qingyou didn't notice anything was wrong with her brother. She just thought that they were an unmarried couple after all, and she was the sister, so it was better not to be a light bulb.
"I'm a little uncomfortable. Brother, please go with Princess Duanyang." Li Qingyou said.
Princess Duanyang's eyes flashed with a look of amusement, this Li Qingyou was quite sensible.
"Sister is not feeling well, have you called the doctor?" Adi changed his leisurely attitude and came over eagerly, grabbing Li Qingyou's arm and looking up and down.
"It's nothing serious, I just didn't get a good rest last night..." Before Li Qingyou could finish her words, she saw that her brother had already sent someone to invite the doctor.
This time, he no longer sent guests off in a tactful way, but said directly to Princess Duanyang, "My sister is not feeling well. I'm afraid she will be sick again. Your Highness, you'd better go back first. I'll wait until my sister gets better in a few days."
Enter the palace to pay your respects to the princess."
As he spoke, he opened the door curtain, made a gesture of invitation, and simply said, "Hurry up and roll the ball."
Princess Duanyang is a golden girl. If she continues to do so, it will damage the royal dignity. She will lose her status as a princess if she gets angry, so she can only leave in anger.
Adi didn't mention the doctor's matter anymore, he just hurriedly explained to Li Qingyou, "Sister, don't be angry, the fact of the county master is inappropriate..."
Li Qingyou waved her hand, "You and I don't need to talk about this. My sister understands that you have your reasons. Besides, I don't want to be the head of the county."
