Li Xianyu's carriage team was very long, and it took an hour just to watch them leave the city.
Li Xianyu sat in the carriage the whole time, never stopped, and never looked back. She left cleanly and without any hesitation.
It was not until the carriage at the end of the team disappeared from sight that someone in the crowd, who had been tense and pretending to be serious, laughed out loud.
The laughter seemed to be contagious. I didn't know who started it, but in a moment, the whole crowd burst into laughter.
How could they not be happy that the little bully who had been bullying them was gone!
Zhang You and the others followed Qiao Si and saw Li Xianyu off together with Li Guanghan.
There were laughters in his ears, but Qiao Si and the others just looked at Li Xianyu's disappearing back with expressionless faces. This made Zhang You feel a sense of desolation as time passed.
Today, they are thankful that Li Xianyu married far away and no longer does evil and harms them.
They are just happy that no one oppresses them.
But they had also mocked and bullied the Qiao Palace in the same way before...
Things have changed, times have shifted, and after identities have been exchanged, it is now their turn to become players in the game.
"Princess, let's go back." Li Xianyu's team had already gone far away, and Jingzhu suggested.
Qiao Si nodded and agreed.
Li Guanghan didn't know what was going on. He reached out and took Qiao Si's arm, saying gently, "Madam, shall we go together?"
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
"Doesn't the prince have to go to the palace to report? We servants will just take the princess back." Zhang You stepped forward and tried to wave his hand away, but found that he was holding it tightly.
Qiao Si's wrists were slightly red.
"This prince has married the princess, you should address her as princess."
Li Guanghan's voice turned cold, and his black eyes looked at Zhang You threateningly.
Jinlu took the initiative to pull Zhang You away from Li Guanghan's sight, bowed and spoke for her: "Yes, Your Highness."
Li Guanghan looked at Jinlu without saying anything, and the atmosphere became a little cold for a moment.
Zhang You was threatened by Li Guanghan and was a little angry.
He's just thinking about the surplus value of Prince Qiao's Mansion and pretending to be righteous!
It was clearly he who forbade everyone in the palace to call her the princess instead. Now he is doing this again. How could Yao Yusu fall for such a person!
But she had just been defended by Jinlu, which caused Li Guanghan to vent his anger on him. Feeling guilty, she endured it and did not refute Li Guanghan.
Qiao Si didn't want to watch him "act up" anymore, so he raised his hand and secretly struggled to free himself from his grip, saying in a cold tone, "Why is your Highness taking out his anger on his subordinates? Isn't this your order? Your Highness still needs to return to the palace to give his reply, so I will go back first."
Without waiting for Li Guanghan's reaction, she pulled Zhang You beside her and left with the rest of the people.
Li Guanghan was left fuming at Jinfu and Jinlu.
Zhang You secretly glanced back, feeling a little guilty.
"What's wrong? Are you heartbroken?" On the way back to the carriage, Qiao Si saw her looking back and teased her.
Zhang You hurriedly turned around and waved her hands: "No, no, no, Princess, please don't say that. I just feel a little guilty. After all, he was defending me, which is why the prince took his anger out on him, so..."
Qiao Si didn't wait for her to finish explaining. He looked at her with a smile as if she understood and said, "Oh~"
Zhang You knew she had misunderstood, and tried even harder to explain: "Princess, it's not what you think. He and I always dislike each other, how could it be possible?"
"In fact, Jinlu is a good man. He cares about you very much and dares to stand up to Li Guanghan for you. He can be considered a good man."
Qiao Si started to evaluate himself, and Cui Liu and the others followed suit. Zhang You was speechless because she really didn't like him.
She is not Qiao Si, and she and Wei Nian are bickering lovers.
She really doesn't get along with Jinlu.
Although he has been doing some inexplicable things recently, she really doesn't like it.
"It's not what you think... We are colleagues at best..."
No matter how hard Zhang You tried to explain, it was useless as they had already made up their minds. Even at the very end, on the way back, she kept explaining, but no one believed her. Zhang You was already exhausted.
The capital city becomes more poetic in autumn.
Prince Han's mansion was very different from Prince Qiao's. Every plant and tree in Prince Qiao's mansion had been meticulously cultivated and designed by the former princess. In Songxue Courtyard, there were sweet osmanthus flowers, Qiao Si's favorite, and a pond filled with koi.
In Prince Han’s mansion, there are only cold rockery and stone roads.
A year after marrying into the Han Palace, Zhang You and her companions, along with Qiao Si, had made numerous improvements. They now had a persimmon tree and an osmanthus tree in the courtyard. They also planted seasonal flowers, including those sent by Qiao Er, so that there were always fresh flowers to enjoy in every season. Other precious flowers were carefully cared for in the garden room.
Even in the late autumn, the courtyard still has flowers that are still withering, and it is no longer as empty and cold as it was before.
The bright red persimmons hang high on the branches, and the chrysanthemums in the yard are in full bloom. It is a poetic and picturesque place to live.
If Li Guanghan hadn't come to harass Qiao Si, perhaps they could still enjoy the flowers and have fun as usual. But his arrival completely ruined their mood.
This month, Li Guanghan asked Qiao Si to go out for fun several times.
Qiao Si knew that he had hit a wall with Prince Qiao, so he wanted to use her to please Prince Qiao.
Rejection once or twice would be fine, but if she refused every time, it would be easy for Li Guanghan to find out her flaw - if he really found out that Qiao Si married him just as a temporary measure and not out of true love, then their plan would be in danger.
So, on the day of the Beijing Lantern Festival, Qiao Si accepted his invitation for the first time.
Zhang You and the others naturally followed.
For no other reason than not wanting Li Guanghan to get what he wanted.
There will be chaos when there are too many people. Li Guanghan should not take the opportunity to be alone with Qiao Si to "strengthen their relationship". Even if it is fake, it will not work.
The capital city at night is as prosperous as during the day.
Exquisite lanterns are hung high at the doors of various shops to attract customers to come in.
There are endless street vendors, some displaying various animal-shaped lanterns, others selling delicate and small lanterns, and some inviting scholars to guess riddles to win the first prize, and some setting up small ceramic figurines in various shapes...
Li Guanghan and Qiao Si walked side by side, and Li Guanghan spent a lot of money to buy many exquisite lanterns for Qiao Si.
Qiao Si didn't want to take it at first, and just pretended to take it for a moment before giving it to Dongmei and the others. But when Li Guanghan found out, he thought she didn't like that style, so he bought her another one.
After a while, Zhang You and the others had their hands full of lanterns, and they looked like lantern vendors.
Qiao Si also discovered that Li Guanghan was determined to let her take it. In order to prevent him from buying all the lanterns on the street, she randomly picked a lantern in the shape of a cute white cat, held it in her hand with a smile, as if she liked it very much.
Li Guanghan then calmed down and stopped buying lanterns.
Zhang You and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They really couldn't hold any more. Now each of them had three lanterns, and when they were put together, you couldn't see the beauty of each lantern, just a big mass of light.
