Chapter 16
It was the first time Shu Yao saw someone coughing up blood, so she grabbed his sleeve anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's not a big deal," Li Mingji coughed lightly, "Perhaps it was just now that Xie Shizi was a little anxious, and the wound was involved."

Shu Yao didn't hear the quarrel at all in the room, where did he call Xie Shizi?She looked up and down, and sure enough, she found a crease on the front of Li Mingji's chest, like a palm print.

"Xie Yanzhou did something to you?"

"The county master..."

Shu Yao was anxious: "He just likes this!"

When I was young, there were many boys around me, but only Xie Yanzhou was left when I was playing. After asking someone, I found out that those boys lost to Xie Yanzhou in fights. They were afraid of being beaten, so they didn't dare to hang around in front of her.

After so many years, he really hasn't changed at all, he pretends to be a man in front of her, and when she leaves, he starts to attack Li Mingji.Li Mingji was a scholar, he didn't dare to fight back after being beaten, no wonder the old wounds were not healed and new wounds were added.

The more Shu Yao thought about it, the angrier she became, she puffed her cheeks and said fiercely: "Li Mingji, your body was healed by the princess of the county, and you have accepted the favor of the princess, so you have to take good care of it. For this kind of thing, you can find the princess, you know?"

How can someone be so disrespectful to their body?She still has to cure him!

She looks fierce like a kitten who only wants to scratch people, fresh and cute, Li Mingji curled the corners of her mouth lightly, and said meekly: "Okay. Can the princess let go first? The pastry is getting cold."

Only then did she realize that she was grabbing someone's sleeve, Shu Yao's face became more and more red, and she wished she could cover her face and hide under the table.

Can a man's sleeve be grabbed casually?Why is she so unreserved, it's too embarrassing for a lady!
It seems that with Li Mingji, she has been embarrassing.Obviously her status is far more noble than Li Mingji, Li Mingji should be respectful and humble, but she has a feeling of being teased by Li Mingji...

"Xie Shizi claims to be the princess's fiancé-in-law, and the princess has a marriage contract with him?"

The last thing Shu Yao wants to hear now is Xie Yanzhou. Hearing this, he didn't even think about it, so he snorted coldly and said, "No way. His grandfather used to be a tutor, and he was a companion for the crown prince's cousin. He often came to the palace and grew up with me. Big. I don’t know who spread the rumors first, but they all say that he and I are engaged.”

The Xie family is a century-old family, and they are also important ministers who founded the country.The first emperor died young, and there was no crown prince when he was alive. Several princes fought fiercely to seize power.Xie Hong, who was the great general of the hussars at the time, led a group of veterans to embrace the fifth prince, Wei Pei, as the emperor, who was Shu Yao's uncle and the current Emperor Yong.

With the kindness of supporting him first, Emperor Yong attached great importance to Xie's family. He asked Xie Hong to be the prince's tutor, made Xie Hong's eldest son the king of Taiyuan County, and let Xie Hong's eldest grandson enter the palace as the prince's companion. marry him.

However, Li Mingji, who lived a new life, knew that Xie's branch relied on Emperor Yong's favor and acted recklessly in the fief. Emperor Yong had long been dissatisfied. Emperor Yong was shaken.

He just wanted to hear Shu Yao express his dissatisfaction with Xie Yanzhou himself.

"No wonder the princess is so upset."

These words really entered Shu Yao's heart, she ate a piece of steamed cake, and hummed: "The princess doesn't want to hear him, don't mention it again."

Li Mingji smiled and said hello.

"elder brother?"

Li Mansion, looking at Li Mingxuan who was limping and being helped in, Li Qingchu couldn't believe it, "You haven't come home for two days, how did you become like this?"

Mrs. Li cried even out of breath: "Xuan'er, mother's Xuan'er..."

Li Jin, the servant of the household department, has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Li Mingxuan, the second son Li Mingji, and the youngest daughter Li Qingchu.Li Mingji was brought back from his hometown eight years ago. Li Mingxuan and Li Qingchu were both born to the wife of the wife, brothers and sisters of the same mother.

Li Qing was seventeen when she was young, and two years ago she was engaged to a scholar, who was a Jinshi in high school, and thought Li's family was poor, so she divorced her.Unexpectedly, Li Jin was promoted to the servant of the household department, the scholar regretted his past, and wanted to restore the old relationship with the Li family, but Li Qingchu did not want to marry.

Before the family came to Beijing, a Taoist priest once told Li Qingchu's fortune, saying that she would meet a nobleman in the future.What is the future of marrying a scholar?The capital city is full of rich and noble families, and when the imperial examination is held next year, her brother will also get an official position in the court, so she will be able to marry a good man.

Who knew that Li Mingxuan had become like this.

He was covered in mud, with one leg limping, his face was bruised and swollen, and there were many bruises.His handsome face in the past is completely invisible now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a beggar on the side of the road.

"Princess Huaxi... Shu Yao, you are too deceitful!"

Li Mingxuan gritted his teeth hoarsely.

Last night when he went to Ning'an Temple, he had made perfect preparations, but before the Princess's face was seen, he was strangled by someone and thrown down the mountain like a chicken.

He rolled in the mud and became limped. If the groom hadn't seen him pity him and sent him back to Li's residence, he would still be begging on the street.

When did Li Mingxuan, who wanted everything since he was a child, suffer this kind of grievance?Recalling that night when the maid knocked on the door of his wing, Li Mingxuan realized that he had been teased - if the maid hadn't hinted at him, would he have gone to Ning'an Temple in a daze?
No wonder he always felt that his early stage was surprisingly smooth. Fortunately, he still imagined that Princess Huaxi would take a fancy to him, so it was just a tease of the princess!
Such a Princess Huaxi, such a Shu Yao!
Li Mingxuan didn't say anything about his trip to Ning'an Temple, he only said that he accidentally fell while climbing a mountain with his friends.Mrs. Li almost fainted from crying, and she was helped away by the maid after a while, leaving Li Mingxuan and Li Qingchu brother and sister behind.

Li Qingchu anxiously said: "Brother, what's going on?"

She also counted on her elder brother to be an official and find her a good husband-in-law!Now that I am limping, what can I do in this year's imperial examination?Who on earth is so cruel and wants to ruin the future of their brothers and sisters?
"It's Princess Huaxi... Ouch!" Li Mingxuan had just finished his bones, and he hung his foot high, grinning in pain, "She sent a maid to lure me up the mountain, and took the opportunity to ask someone to push me down... … A few days ago, that bastard Li Mingji was injured by a fall. The Marquis of Qinyang spent a lot of money to treat him. Princess Huaxi let him stay and hired a doctor for him. She must have revenge for this incident. I!"

He didn't say that he took the initiative to provoke Princess Huaxi, anyway, he is the victim now, if Princess Huaxi hadn't sent a maid to hint at him, how could he be hurt like this?
"Princess Huaxi?"

She has long sleeves and is good at dancing. She has not lived in the capital for a long time, but she gets along well with many young ladies from the official family and often attends various banquets.Of course, she had heard about Princess Huaxi.

Princess Huaxi is Emperor Yong's favorite niece, and behind him is the Marquis of Qinyang's Mansion, which Emperor Yong personally conferred.

Li Qingchu thought slightly, and held Li Mingxuan's hand, "Don't worry, brother, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely seek justice for you."
