After that, Su Li’s life became calm though it was on the surface.
For ordinary people in Yunjing City, the disturbance only was the collapse of the walls of their old houses, but nothing else.
Su Li announced that she wouldn’t lecture any more, which caused a sensation. There were no other talented people living in the Affiliated School of the National Academy except her. No one dared to contradict her face to face because Su Li was the princess and supported by Lord Rui.
The Affiliated School of the National Academy became a private mansion, and Ling Li had no reason to come in.
Su Li spent most of time practicing in the mansion and hardly went out. But to others, she was like a girl who stayed at home and waited for a marriage.
The information of the Linli Building was delivered by Fang Yuan every night.
His mind was known when Su Li woke up. Neither she agreed nor refused. He had decided to continue to
After an hour, Su Qingtan followed Ling Qinglan and left the Ling Mansion. What he saw and heard frightened him very much.“Lord, We’re in the Su Mansion.”The groom’s humble voice came into his ears, which made Su Qingtan awake from deep thought. He jumped out of the carriage and the groom went away. Looking at the small mansion hanging an old plaque where two words, “Su Mansion”, were inscribed, Su Qingtan sighed with emotions.The Su Family had changed a lot just in a half year.“Knock, knock—”Soon, the bleary-eyed gatekeeper opened the door with a crack and peeped out from inside. Seeing Su Qingtan who were in black, he stared at him and then shouted excitedly,“First Master! You are back!”Su Qingtan smiled and nodded. Anyway, it was his home. His mother and brother were still here.The gatekeeper opened the door wide immediately and let Su Qingtan in, and then he shouted ex
The frost in early spring morning was thick, and both sides of streets were white. The frost wouldn’t fade until the sun rose.In the room of the Affiliated School of the National Academy where Su Li lived, the charcoal crackled, and the wisps of heat rose from the holes in the heater, making the room as warm as spring.Su Li was dressed in a thin garment and lay on the couch by the window. Her clear eyes were fixed on the old pamphlet in her hands and she was fascinated.When the first light of morning came in through the window, Su Li was squinting and putting down the booklet.“I didn’t expect that after breaking the ring, my understanding could be improved so much. In just two days, I have learnt the fourth hurdle of the Ao Sword Skills and the fifth hurdle is around the corner.”She couldn’t think of the disadvantages of breaking the ring, and the consciousness of Mei Ruohan wouldn’t tell her either, so it would b
Ling Li and Su Li met in the same place where they met before. But this time, Fang Yuan, who disguised himself, came with Su Li. He was standing outside the boat in parallel with Ling Mo.In the boat, Ling Li was serious and stared at the young man in indigo clothes who sat freely on the other side of the chessboard. Then he chuckled to break the peaceful atmosphere, “Mr. Li invites me just to play the chess?”Su Li had a hint of mixed feelings. She picked up a chess piece and seemed to say indifferently, “Of course not, Hierarch Ling is busy. I don’t dare to disturb you!”Ling Li frowned, clicking the chessboard, and raising his eyebrows, “Mr. Li, what do you mean?”“Long time no see. It seems that Hierarch Ling becomes more ill-tempered.”Su Li said slowly with a cold smile, “You must guess something about my purpose today. Please give me a reason about the incident that the top management of the Yinmo Cult tried to
In the dark night, Ling Qinglan saw a beautiful woman in plain white clothes. She was looking at him strangely. She looked perturbed, and her eyes shined.Ling Qinglan picked his eyebrows. Then he came over and said softly, “It’s not peaceful in Yunjing City in the middle of the night. What are you doing here alone?”The beautiful woman didn’t answer. She just looked at him in a daze.Ling Qinglan felt more and more strange. He looked at her carefully, and then his expression changed a little. He recognized her. She was Qu Lu, the starring girl of the Hongyan House, wasn’t she?Usually in the brothel, Qu Lu was very gorgeous and particularly charming, but now she was so plain that he almost didn’t recognize her. However, after the auction, her identity of Lady Qu in the Hehuan Sect had been exposed. Why did she suddenly appear here tonight?Thinking of it, Ling Qinglan smiled and said tentatively, “Lady Qu, you come he
At noon, it was the busiest time in Yunjing City. Regular drinkers of the Linli Building were crowded. Its business was much more popular than when it started. “Sir, come in, please!”“Here, sir. What would you like today?”“…”While Yin Xuetong and Mei Ruohan were accounting by the table, suddenly the light became darker in the entrance. They looked at the door at the same time. They were amazed by that man’s dress.Fang Yuan?How could he come to the main gate without disguising himself?“What’s up?” Yin Xuetong felt something wrong. She called out Qu Qingning at once.“Oh, sir. Come here, please!”Qu Qingning pretended to be enthusiastic and guided Fang Yuan, who looked gloomy, to go upstairs. They didn’t make others perceive something unusual.In the room, Qu Qingning poured tea for Fang Yuan and asked, “Didn’t you go to see the agent of the royal
Soon, Ma De waiting outside the Imperial Study received the news and walked in at once. He turned around and saw Eunuch Feng who knelt on the ground. He was afraid and instantly bowed to kneel beside Eunuch Feng.“Your Majesty! Wish you a long life!”Dongfang Xiao opened his eyes slightly and looked at Ma De who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly said softly, “Wish me a long life? I knew that you want me to die now.”Ma De was frightened when he heard it. He raised his head and said nervously, “Your Majesty, why do you say that? I’m so loyal that I’m willing to die for you! If you don’t believe me, I…I can…”“Enough.”Dongfang Xiao impatiently stopped Ma De and asked calmly, “Tell me. What’s the matter with your son?”Ma De wiped his cold sweat and got relaxed, but thinking of the reaction of Ma Jintian, he couldn’t help frowning,“I promise that I’m the only one who knows that you are g
Ma De came into Lord Rui’s Mansion with the imperial edict. Many people followed Dongfang Rui and knelt down.With a slightly pitying eyesight, Ma De glanced at Dongfang Rui, who had lowered his head. Then he opened the edict and read loudly,“By the grace of the nature, the emperor said,Su Li, the daughter of Dongfang Rui, has a virtuous temperament and a beautiful look. I am happy for that. Today, the third son of the King of North is 20 and it’s time for him to get married with a good girl! Su Li is still unmarried, and they are matched by the nature. I’d like to do a good deed for the two. Here I decide to grant Su Li as a princess to the prince. You choose a good day and the Ministry of Rites will help prepare the marriage!The end!”“What? Brother grants Su Li to Ling Li in the Ling Family?!”Dongfang Rui turned pale with fright, and suddenly he stood up from the ground with an amazing expression.
In the Imperial Palace—Ma De knelt on the ground. His face almost pasted on the floor, and even his breathing became cautious for fear of provoking Dongfang Xiao.“My Eighth Brother agreed immediately without resistance, and he also arranged the dowries by himself? Even the day is set, and it’s just two days later?”Dongfang Xiao smiled faintly, and his words were so cold that Eunuch Feng who was standing beside him couldn’t help shivering and bending even more.“Your Majesty! What I have said is really true. The Eighth Lord only hesitated for a moment and took the imperial edict directly. He had no radical reaction. Eunuch Feng was also there at that time. If I lied, I would be hit by the thunder...”“Enough!”Dongfang Xiao impatiently interrupted Ma De, stomping back and forth for a few steps with a gloomy face. He suddenly picked up the memorials on the desk and smashed them on Ma De’s head, swearing,
