Chapter 221 Princess 9 Starting Over
"Eldest sister."
When the Ninth Princess came in, the Eldest Princess was standing in the yard, staring at a red plum tree in a daze. She came back to her senses when she heard the sound and fed the parrot under the corridor with the bird food in her hand.
"You came?"
The eldest princess glanced at Li Wei coldly.
In the past, wherever the Ninth Princess went, she was always accompanied by a group of servants. But today, she only brought a maid.
She dressed much more simply, unlike before when she wore gold and silver and showed off so ostentatiously.
However, it seems much more mature and stable.
Li Wei stood aside, knelt down and bowed deeply:
"Eldest Sister, Xiaojiu knows that I was willful and reckless in the past, and didn't listen to your teachings. That's why I went through that hardship. Now I've come to my senses and understand your love and care for me."
"I also ask that elder sister forgive Xiaojiu for her past unreasonable behavior."
After this incident, Li Wei really learned her lesson and felt like she was reborn.
Her already bright face now showed even more composure. She was not as lively and energetic as before, but had a bit more charm.
It's like a jar of aged wine, which becomes more and more mellow after being baptized by wind, rain and time.
After hearing what Li Wei said, the eldest princess also looked at her with admiration.
"This is the good daughter of the Li family."
The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.
In the past, Li Wei, under the care of everyone, was a delicate flower growing in a greenhouse. Unable to withstand the wind and rain, nor the cold, she would be completely defeated at the slightest setback.
But now, she is still a beautiful flower.
But it was born in the wind and snow, and grew up in the cold.
In the face of any harsh environment, it can stand proudly and bloom in the cold.
"Royal sister," Li Wei thought for a moment and pointed in the direction of Wutong Garden and asked, "What's going on with that Lord Shen?"
The eldest princess's lips curled up into a slight smile.
"nothing."
She had already said so much, but Shen Yanqing still refused to listen. So that was it.
Scholars are inherently stubborn.
This is especially true for Shen Yanqing.
But this also further confirmed that she was not wrong about him, Shen Yanqing was a man of integrity.
Fang Gu said angrily: "That's a rude person!"
"Aunt Fang!" the eldest princess scolded.
Fanggu was indignant, but she had to swallow her words silently.
Seeing the princess's dejected expression, Li Wei said nothing more. But in her heart, she was thinking that her elder sister had been very hard-working all these years and now that she had finally found someone she liked, she must help her.
The two sisters talked for a while, and then the Ninth Princess said goodbye and went to the general's mansion.
If Su Li hadn't rescued her from the hell of the Marquis' Mansion, she would probably still be struggling now.
I should have expressed my gratitude to Su Li a long time ago.
The general's mansion was bustling with activity.
Everyone was eating hot pot around the stove.
Xie An bit the fish ball, and the fresh, fragrant, smooth and chewy taste almost made him bite off his tongue.
"Auntie Su, this is so delicious. Isn't it?"
While eating, he asked Li Xun and Li Shou beside him.
The two brothers had been eating non-stop since they entered the General's Mansion. Princess Heng loved delicious food, and the two brothers had tasted all the delicacies in the world with their mother.
But it can't be compared with the food in the general's mansion.
Although the ingredients are the same, the cooking method is slightly changed, and with the addition of the secret seasoning prepared by Aunt Su, the taste is particularly delicious and unique.
In fact, they don’t understand that sometimes the deliciousness of food does not lie in the food itself, but in the atmosphere when enjoying it.
The same dish often tastes different when eaten by different people.
The atmosphere in the general's mansion was unusually relaxed. When everyone gathered together, there were not so many rules. They could eat whatever they wanted, talk when they were happy, and run around like Xie An.
These are absolutely unimaginable in Prince Heng's Mansion.
Li Xun and Li Shou were well-behaved at first, but they found that being too well-behaved was not good. If they were a little slow, the delicious food would be snatched away by Xie An and Xi Jie'er.
Gradually they figured out the trick and began to relax.
They are children, and that is their nature.
Once it is released, it will be out of control.
At this time, Li Xun's mouth was full of oil. His huge body kept nodding, not caring about the food in his mouth, and he said:
"delicious!"
Li Shou was even more exaggerated. He was fighting with Xie An for a piece of meat. After winning, he stuffed it into his mouth and shouted:
"Aunt Su, I'm going to bring my mother with me some other day."
Huan Ge'er sat aside, looking at the two new children in the family, and silently held his forehead.
Watching the children playing and fighting, Su Li's smile never relaxed.
She likes this kind of lively atmosphere.
Pei Heng picked up some food for her, and seeing Ah Li's doting smile, he said:
"Ari likes children. I'll try my best and we'll have two in three years. You'll have a bunch of little ones around you in the future."
Su Li laughed and punched him.
The lively lunch lasted until the afternoon.
It was not until the servant came to report that the Ninth Princess had arrived that Su Li left the children to play by themselves and went to the reception room.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the two of them couldn't help but sigh when they met again. Seeing Li Wei moving calmly and not looking like she was pregnant, Su Li felt puzzled, but was afraid of making her sad and didn't dare to bring it up.
Li Wei smiled nonchalantly, pulled Su Li and said:
"Sister Su, I don't want the child."
Su Li was stunned, "What?"
Li Wei said, "I have decided to say goodbye to the past completely. I will just treat the past as a dream. Sister Su, from now on, Li Wei will start from scratch."
"it is good!"
Su Li was afraid that she would indulge in the past, but she didn't expect that Li Wei would finally wake up after the pain and become much stronger than she imagined.
I couldn't help but feel happy for her from the bottom of my heart.
She had heard about many things that had happened to Li Wei during her convalescence. She came to the general today, partly to express her gratitude to Su Li in person, and partly to see her nephew, Huan Ge'er.
A group of children came in noisily, and Li Wei immediately spotted Huan Ge'er, who stood out from the crowd.
Speaking of which, she and Huan Ge'er knew each other a long time ago.
They had already met at Sun Zhonghuai's Zhuying Cottage. At that time, she was helping Song Ci pursue Sun Zhonghuai, while she herself was dreaming of marrying Tan Tai Ting.
I didn't expect that times have changed.
"There's a big age gap between my eldest brother and me. As far as I can remember, he had already gone to the Northern Territory. But I vaguely remember that every time he came back to the capital, he would bring me delicious food and fun things from the Northern Territory. I still have some of the things he gave me back then in my palace."
Li Wei looked at Huan Ge'er carefully, trying to see some of her elder brother's shadow in him.
But there was nothing she could do about it. She was not close to her eldest brother.
Otherwise, she should have seen it when she first met Huan Ge'er.
"Auntie, can you tell us about Uncle Huang?"
Li Xun and Li Shou, eager to please Huan Ge'er, urged Li Wei to tell them about the past. Li Wei had no choice but to gather up the few bits and pieces of history she remembered and tell them to the children.
Huan Ge'er sat silently in the chair, seemingly cold, but when he heard something interesting, he curled up the corners of his mouth without realizing it.
An afternoon passed just like that.
The Ninth Princess also found the long-lost happiness and peace in the General's Mansion.
It was getting dark when he got up and said goodbye.
"Princess, I haven't seen you smile for a long time. The General's Mansion is truly a magical place."
The maidservant was delighted to see the princess relieved. She had watched her suffer, cry, feign strength, and then pick herself up. Seeing her today, she knew she had truly emerged from the shadow of her past.
"Yes, the General's Mansion is a magical place. Sister Su is also a wonderful woman who makes people feel at ease."
The master and servant walked back talking and laughing.
As the carriage turned out of the long street, a man rushed towards us. He stopped in front of the carriage and bowed down:
"Ninth Princess, please save my young master."
Li Wei lifted the curtain and saw that the person coming was Dong Lai, the trusted servant of Tan Tai Ting.
