Li Xingyue was sad for a while and felt very envious of Su Changan. She thought that it would be great if she could be like Su Changan, with a face as beautiful as a fairy, and she wouldn't have to pretend to be so pretentious in public, and could just act like herself as usual without paying attention to others.
But when I think about it carefully, it still doesn't work.
After all, she has an aunt who is the empress dowager, a father who is a high-ranking official, and she is the only one in the entire Li family. She has no brothers or sisters, so she cannot be as free and easy as Miss Chang'an.
Once she goes out, she represents the Li family.
Even though I don't have to worry about my aunt now, I still have to consider my father and the Li family's reputation.
So, she had no choice but to pretend to be a young lady.
The poisoning incident made her realize that she could no longer use rouge. Especially after reading the words Su Changan left behind, she thought about it carefully and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt that she was not that ugly after all.
The stars are all on my face!
But pretending to be aloof from others was absolutely useless, especially in front of Miss Chang'an.
That's why I came here today and tried hard to make myself look elegant and quiet, and to look like a well-educated lady from a noble family.
Although Li Xingyue knew that it was not a good idea to pretend like this, it was better than coming here rashly and straightforwardly. Not to mention apologizing, she might even offend someone who was impolite.
But when I thought about how I had just spoken in a long-winded and strange way, I even got confused by some idioms that I had looked up in books in advance.
Li Xingyue felt even more ashamed and annoyed with herself.
She raised her head slightly and looked at Su Changan, but didn't know what to say. She could only bite her lips lightly, clutching the corner of her clothes in her hand, trying hard to think of what she should say without losing her manners.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't think of what to say. I just regretted why I just couldn't concentrate on reading.
You deserve to be called 'Li Dazhentou'!
And this time.
Xunxia and others have already brought up tea and snacks.
Although the snacks were not made by Su Changan, they were the shortbread that Xia and the others learned to make by imitating Su Changan, and they made some slight improvements compared to the shortbread that we usually see.
There was no long table, but there was a small table next to the chairs, so naturally it was placed on the small table.
Li Xingyue was already feeling a little embarrassed, and when she saw the tea being served, she immediately picked up the tea bowl and drank it, trying to hide her embarrassment.
But the lips just touched the tea.
But it was because the tea was too hot that caused his hand to slip.
Snapped!
The tea bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Li Xingyue looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and raised her eyes to look at Su Changan.
Su Changan didn't care about the broken tea bowl, but looked at Li Xingyue and asked, "Did the water touch your hand?"
Li Xingyue shook her head, but in her heart, she was already ashamed and wished she could find a place to hide.
It was clearly agreed that you should be elegant and quiet!
Why are you so reckless again!
Su Changan glanced at Li Xingyue's hand and found that it was indeed fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it was boiling water. If it touched Li Xingyue's hand, it would at least scald her. If something happened to Li Xingyue here, it would really be her fault for not treating her well.
By this time, Xunxia had already brought over the broom and dustpan.
Su Changan reminded: "Be careful, don't cut your hands."
Xunxia nodded.
Then, Su Changan looked at Li Xingyue and found that Li Xingyue looked a little self-blaming, so he smiled and said, "I accidentally broke a tea bowl this morning, but it's nothing. It's good that no one was scalded by the tea."
Chapter 78: Girl's Innocent Thoughts
When Xun Xia heard this, he was stunned as he had quickly finished cleaning and was about to leave. He immediately realized that this was words to comfort Miss Xingyue, so he left.
But in my heart, I just felt that Miss Chang'an was so gentle to others, I didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Li Xingyue bit her lower lip when she heard Su Changan's words, nodded slightly, but sighed.
I just wanted to be that elegant and dignified girl from the beginning until I left, but when we met this time, not only did I say strange things, I also ended up breaking the tea bowl.
I have completely lost face in front of Miss Chang'an today.
After sitting down again, Xiangluo brought up another bowl of tea. Before leaving, she secretly glanced at Su Changan.
Su Changan naturally smiled at Xiangluo.
Li Xingyue watched this scene, biting her lips, her hands still pinching each other nervously.
What Su Changan said to her just now, she could naturally hear that Su Changan was comforting herself just now.
I feel that Su Changan is very gentle.
Now I see that she is so friendly to Su Changan, the servants in the palace.
It's not a comparison
I just feel inexplicably ashamed.
Su Changan looked at Li Xingyue's expression at the moment, and wanted to ease Li Xingyue's embarrassment from saying the wrong idiom just now to breaking the tea bowl, so he asked: "Come to think of it, Xingyue, you just said Zhao Xin told you? Did the child go to the Li Mansion to see you?"
Hearing this, Li Xingyue nodded immediately, but before she could speak, she sat up straight and spoke softly, "Well, Zhao Xin came the day before yesterday and told me a lot of things."
Su Changan looked at Li Xingyue's strange behavior and was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't say anything and asked, "The child didn't say anything, right? He is so fierce and always speaks without mercy. If he did say anything, please forgive me, Xingyue."
Li Xingyue shook her head gently: "Yes"
But as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Xingyue looked at Su Changan in surprise, because she just heard Su Changan call her Xingyue, calling her by her name!
And if I think about it carefully, when I asked Su Zhaoxin about that annoying person just now, I mentioned it was Xingyue.
While thinking this, Li Xingyue looked at Su Changan and asked carefully: "Can I call you by your name too?"
But after saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "You are older than me, so I should call you sister."
Although Su Changan felt helpless, she was used to it after thinking about how many people called her sister, Miss, etc., so she nodded and said, "Sure."
Changan Sister
Li Xingyue had never called anyone "sister" before, so she felt a little embarrassed to suddenly call someone "sister".
But after trying to call it a few times in my mind, it came out quite smoothly, and I felt that the embarrassment and nervousness just now was nothing.
It seems that there is nothing to be embarrassed about in front of my younger sister.
Li Xingyue smiled for the first time since entering Lingqi Pavilion, and then said as if forgetting something: "Zhao Xin is very nice, he brought me a lot of food and some strange toys, but the kid's mouth is a bit annoying. I was in bed at the time and didn't have much strength, otherwise I would have wanted to beat him up, but overall I like him very much."
But having said this, Li Xingyue looked at Su Changan and suddenly realized that she might have gone a little too far.
Su Changan looked at Li Xingyue and smiled helplessly: "Does Xingyue know Si Wuxie?"
Li Xingyue was stunned. It sounded familiar. A name?
But then I feel like it’s not a person’s name, but rather some kind of academic subject.
Sister Changan wants to talk to me about knowledge?
I don't understand what to do.
Li Xingyue was a little anxious.
Su Changan smiled and said, "The so-called innocent thoughts, everyone has different understandings, I won't tell you in detail. However, I think the so-called innocent thoughts, in fact, is to dare to show others what you want and think in your heart, there is nothing wrong with that."
Speaking of here
Su Changan looked at the way Li Xingyue looked at him. Although her eyes were full of tears, he could tell that the girl was trying hard to listen.
But Su Changan saw the three big words "I don't understand" in Li Xingyue's eyes.
Helplessly, Su Changan said: "To put it simply, you don't need to pretend in front of me or others. Your original personality is good enough. There is no need to pretend to be a scholar or a gentle person.
Also, eat when you want to, you haven't recovered yet, you need to eat and drink, this is the most important part of recuperation, got it? So don't always sneak a peek at the pastry next to you, just eat it. And don't tell me any idioms, even if you are a scholar, you don't use idioms in your normal speech. "
……
Inside the Li Mansion
Li Jiulang did not attend the small court meeting today. He submitted a leave application and sat at home.
After all, I had nothing to do in the past two days. After I went there, I heard the Grand Tutor and the Queen Mother Li Nishang's subordinates arguing about Zhao Xiaojia's affairs, so I was too lazy to go or listen.
He just needs to do what he should do and how he should do it, whatever His Majesty asks him to do.
He was asked to take a leave today, so he took it.
And now.
Li Jiulang, the former top scholar, held in his hand the simplest book of "Idioms and Allusions", looking at the idioms specially marked by his silly daughter. He looked helpless, but he also felt that his daughter's silliness was cute.
To be a scholar, it is not as simple as knowing a few idioms.
That child.
Li Jiulang was flipping through the books with a smile on his face. He accidentally saw traces of saliva, which clearly showed that the person had fallen asleep while reading, and he laughed out loud again.
Seeing this scene, the goateed strategist standing at the door smiled and did not disturb him.
Instead, Li Jiulang looked up at his subordinates who had followed him for decades.
The counselor named Xu Zisheng said, "The young lady has entered Lingqi Pavilion, and the Queen Mother has also heard the news."
Li Jiulang nodded: "Did Xianghong contact you?"
Xu Zisheng immediately shook his head: "Not yet, but I think it will be soon. After all, you didn't express your opinion on Zhao Xiaojia's matter, and this matter has shaken many of the ministers who follow the Queen Mother. I think the Queen Mother should be anxious, or maybe regret it?"
Li Jiulang said with a smile: "I won't regret it, I only thought that she should save my son, but I forgot that woman was already crazy, as time goes by, she is a lunatic, and a lunatic will regret what she does? "
Xu Zisheng frowned: "I think she is a little crazy to ask Zhao Xiaojia to come in this time, and even want Zhao Xiaojia to be the chief guard of the imperial guards to protect the capital."
Li Jiulang thought for a moment and said, "She is crazy, but not really crazy, because she knows that Su Changan has entered the palace and she has fallen into a trap, so."
At this point, Li Jiulang frowned, "I don't know either. I've thought of many possibilities, but I'm not sure. I guess everyone in the capital is wondering. And I could have guessed what she was going to do before, but since she suddenly attacked Xingyue this time, I found that I can no longer see through her. Or maybe everything she did was to vent her anger. After all, she's a lunatic."
