The next day, Li Yunyan got up very early.
She called Ziyu in and helped her with her toilette.
"Miss!"
Ziyu brought in hot water, wringing out a handkerchief for her as she asked, "Why did you get up so early today, Miss?"
Li Yunyan took the handkerchief, unfolded it, and covered her face to wake herself up.
She rarely gets up this early unless something comes up!
Through the handkerchief, she replied in a muffled voice, "I want to have breakfast with my parents today."
Ziyu was delighted to hear this. If the master and mistress knew that the young lady had taken the initiative to dine with them, they would be very happy!
"Then hurry up and get Miss all dressed up beautifully before you go!"
"Um!"
Ziyu summoned two maids to stay here, and happily went into the room where clothes and jewelry were kept to help Li Yunyan choose the clothes and jewelry she would wear later.
Rumors circulate that her young mistress is arrogant and domineering, but that's not true at all! She has a very good temperament, just a little willful, but she's actually very kind to the servants!
The young lady never scolded them. If she was in a good mood, she would even reward them with her own food and jewelry. She was the best mistress ever!
Ziyu chose a light purple belted long dress for Li Yunyan, with a white satin embroidered bodice at the chest, and her hair was styled in a flying fairy bun with a delicate jade hairpin, making her look elegant and gentle.
Li Yunyan refused Ziyu's offer to add a few more hairpins to her head. She stood up from in front of the bronze mirror. "This is fine! Let's go!"
Ziyu blankly put the gold hairpin back into the makeup box, feeling that her young lady seemed a little different today!
In the past, young ladies liked to dress up in a dazzling manner, and every time they went out, they would put at least two or three hairpins in their hair!
However, her young lady is exceptionally beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the entire Chu Kang Dynasty! Whether she is dressed simply or elaborately, she is always stunningly beautiful!
"Miss, please wait a moment!"
Li Yunyan arrived at Qihe Courtyard. Her father, Li Bieshan, and her mother, Shen Yuhe, were both there, but her brother was still in the military camp and had not yet returned.
"Daughter greets Father and Mother!"
"It's Yan'er!"
Li Bieshan and Shen Yuhe were both pleasantly surprised. Previously, Li Yunyan had been clamoring to marry Wen Zi'an, but they disagreed, and their daughter had threatened to kill herself, leading to a huge argument with them.
I've been angry with them for days!
The fact that their daughter came to them on her own initiative this time suggests that she has repented, which makes Li Bieshan and Shen Yuhe very happy.
Maintaining the original owner's persona, Li Yunyan said sweetly to the two of them, "Father, Mother, your daughter has come to have breakfast with you! Mother, I want to eat dragon beard candy, crystal cake, and peony syrup!"
"Alright, alright!" Shen Yuhe smiled gently. "Mother will have the kitchen make it for you right away!"
"Thank you, Mother!"
Li Yunyan plopped down between her parents and turned to look at Li Bieshan. "Father, how have things been going for you in court lately?"
"What? Yan'er is now concerned about her father's affairs in court?"
Although Li Bieshan doted on his daughter, he also knew her personality. She was usually someone who didn't care about anything and would never interfere in court affairs unless something came up.
Li Yunyan pouted and said coquettishly, "Dad, don't say that! It's as if your daughter doesn't care about you!"
Li Bieshan laughed heartily, "Alright, alright! Father knows Yan'er cares about me! Tell me! What do you want this time?"
"Mother, look at Father!"
Li Yunyan refused to listen, grabbed Shen Yuhe's hand and shook it from side to side, looking aggrieved because her father had angered her.
"Hey you old fool!" Shen Yuhe playfully slapped Li Bieshan. "You should be secretly happy that your daughter cares about you! You even picked a fight with her!"
Li Bieshan wasn't angry at being hit by his wife; instead, he laughed even louder, "Alright, alright! It's all Father's fault! Yan'er, Father has wronged you!"
"Hmph!" Li Yunyan put her hands on her hips and smiled happily when she saw the smiles on her parents' faces.
"Father, Mother, actually, I do have something to tell you!"
The smiles on Li Bieshan and Shen Yuhe's faces immediately froze; they knew there wouldn't be such a good thing!
My daughter is being so well-behaved today, could it be that she still wants to marry that Wen Zi'an boy?
That Wen Zi'an kid looks so shrewd, he's definitely not someone to be trifled with! His Yan'er is so innocent, if she really marries him, she'll be bullied to death!
Moreover, Wen Simin has always been at odds with Li Bieshan in terms of political views, so it is absolutely impossible for him to become in-laws with his family!
However, my daughter doesn't understand these things. I tried to explain them to her before, but she refused to listen after hearing a couple of sentences, insisting that they were prejudiced against the Wen family!
Why!
It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home!
Seeing the worry on her parents' faces, Li Yunyan knew they had misunderstood!
However, she came today specifically for this matter, but what she wanted to say was the opposite of what they expected!
"Father, Mother," Li Yunyan said solemnly, "I was ignorant before and made you worry! I've figured it out now and I don't want to marry Wen Zi'an!"
Is this really true?
Shen Yuhe exclaimed in surprise, and Li Bieshan also looked astonished, "Yan'er, have you really come to your senses?"
"It's true! Father, the reason I wanted to ask you about things in the court is because I've discovered that Wen Zi'an isn't as simple as he seems on the surface. I've seen through him, so I don't want to marry him anymore!"
"What do you know?"
Li Bieshan looked solemn. If even the naive Yan'er could see something was wrong, then there must be something fishy going on behind the Wen family!
Li Yunyan didn't know how the evidence used to frame the Li family for treason was fabricated in the original story, but it was definitely related to the Wen family.
She looked around and saw that besides the three of them, only their respective confidants were in the room. She then whispered, "Father, I have no evidence. I just feel that the Wen family is acting strangely. You can have someone investigate them secretly!"
As the prime minister, Li Bieshan wielded considerable power. He nodded solemnly, "I will have someone investigate! Yan'er, you are naive and can't keep secrets, so please don't concern yourself with these matters anymore!"
"Yes, Yan'er, with your father and brother handling these matters, you must never get involved again, okay?"
Shen Yuhe held Li Yunyan's hand with worry, feeling both relieved and heartbroken. Her daughter had finally grown up! She was no longer fixated on unrelated people and knew how to care for her family!
"Okay, Dad, Mom, don't worry! I'll take good care of myself!"
At this moment, the kitchen had already brought over breakfast, placing all of Li Yunyan's favorite dishes in front of her. Li Bieshan and Shen Yuhe served her food from both sides, and Li Yunyan ate happily.
"Father, Mother, your daughter has something else to say!"
After finishing her breakfast, Li Yunyan sipped her peony syrup and put on a flattering smile.
"What is it?" Li Bieshan had a bad feeling when he saw her smile.
"Daddy! I want to participate in the talent show!"
