The side hall was still chaotic, with noisy voices. Ye Zitong's face was flushed and his chest was fluttering violently. The sudden shame hurt her deeply. What was she? Cabbage or carrot, and she was pulled to someone to choose like a female slave. Her unconcealed naked eyes never thought that she was still alone. Didn't anyone want her? Her parents forced her to marry such a man. Ye Zitong wanted to cry, but at this moment, she didn't cry. She bit her lips tightly and bit her white and pink face appeared in front of her like a ghost.

"To be honest, I don't like you either. I'm uneducated and I'm so proud. If my son didn't like you, you wouldn't want to join my Luo family." Mrs. Luo looked at her coldly and said.

She had just asked someone and learned that Ye Zitong was an old girl who couldn't get married. No wonder the Ye family had to agree at once. This made her very embarrassed. But her son wanted to do it all, and she had no choice. She had to give her a color to her future daughter-in-law and let her know that the Luo family married her as a gift to her. In the future, she must be delighted in the Luo family and understand the etiquette of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Don't be dissatisfied with this marriage. Your parents have agreed to it. You can't help it. And you are still arguing. I want to tell you that after you go back today, you have to learn how to serve men. In addition, you are not allowed to go out again from today. No man except father and brother is allowed to meet. Do you understand?"

Ye Zitong's fist gradually tightened, and she wanted to slap this witch-like face heavily.

"Why don't you laugh? There are so many people next to you! Do you want me to teach you even if Xiao Xiao?" Mrs. Luo looked stern. When she saw Ye Zitong ignore her, she couldn't help but grit her teeth. He whispered: "Someone is watching you, smile quickly. Do you dare to be rude to me and see how I deal with you in the future."

"Go to die!"

Ye Zitong finally shouted out in grief and anger. She covered her face and ran outward. The side hall suddenly became silent. All eyes were looking at them, and the discussions were everywhere. Mrs. Luo was like a sculpture, with a blue face, and stood there motionlessly. Only her pair of gloomy eyes flashed from time to time.

At this time, the bell for the banquet rang, and the women whispered and walked towards the hall in groups of three or three.

There were sounds of silk and bamboo in the hall, musicians of the King of Chu Mansion were playing relaxed and pleasant welcome music. Two teams of graceful kabuki were singing and dancing phoenixes. They danced lightly and wide sleeves and danced gracefully. In the chair, the two of Chu King Zhu Zhen and the princess sat in the back row. Compared to the relaxation of the guests, they both seemed solemn, just like two sculptures in full costumes.

During the meal, groups of maids holding plates were as light as flying swallows, shuttled and delivered dishes at tables. Some of the guests whispered and some stroked their beards and smiled and watched the dance. Li Weizheng, as the representative of Li Jinglong, sat in the tenth place in the front row. Next to him was Zhao Wuji, but Yu Ping sat in the first place in the front row, while Ye Tianming sat in the second place in the back row, and the first place was the prefect of Wuchang.

At this time, Zhao Wuji and Li Weizheng seemed very close, as if they had forgotten the unhappiness just now. Zhao Wuji carefully looked at a famous official kiln porcelain in his hand and sighed: "General Li, this is a famous porcelain of Ding kiln! Do you think if the emperor knew that His Highness of Chu was so luxurious, would he feel unhappy?"

Li Weizheng drank the wine in the glass and said with a smile: "It depends on when it is. If it were the twenty years of Hongwu, the emperor would definitely be furious and denounce the King of Chu to waste luxury. Now it is the twenty-third year of Hongwu, and the national strength is gradually recovering. I think the emperor would not be too angry if he invited the celebrities of Jingchu. To be more solemn, it can be regarded as a sign of the great grace of the emperor."

"Haha, General Li is very good at speaking!"

"Where! Where! Mr. Zhao is very knowledgeable, which makes me admire him."

The two looked at each other and smiled. At this time, a fat black manager whispered a few words in Li Weizheng's ear. A trace of shock flashed in Li Weizheng's eyes, and then he smiled at Zhao Wuji without showing any expression, "The commander-in-chief sent someone to find me. I'll go outside the palace."

"General Li is going, come back soon. I will have to be fined three drinks if I'm late."

Li Weizheng stood up and left quickly. Just as Li Weizheng left, a guard rushed in and said a few words in Cheng Yannian's ear. Cheng Yannian immediately jumped up and ran out of the hall with a ecstasy expression. Zhao Wuji, who had been watching him, saw Li Weizheng and Cheng Yannian leaving one after another. He suddenly realized something was wrong in his heart, and stood up without showing any expression and walked out of the hall quietly.

In a flower path outside the hall, Li Wei was following the manager quickly. The manager said as he walked: "General Li, Guard Yang is waiting for you in the Hanquan Garden in front of him. He has found the person you are looking for."

Li Weizheng said nothing and walked in a hurry. A few dozen steps behind him, a black shadow was following him quietly, with very agile movements.

Hanquan Garden is named after the fact that there is a pool of spring water that does not freeze in the cold winter. It is located to the west of the hall. This is the moment when the climax in the hall is gradually rising. Almost all the servants are serving in the hall. The garden is deserted and there is no one.

As soon as Li Weizheng entered Hanquan Garden, Yang Ning immediately flashed out and said excitedly: "Fifth Brother, there is a result."

Li Wei shook his eyes at him. Yang Ning understood and took out a ingot of gold and sent the manager away. Li Wei saw that there was no one around, so he asked, "What's the result?"

"That man changed his name to Cao Tian and worked on the dock. I have seen him." Yang Ning said in annoyance.

‘Cao Tian’, Li Wei thought of this name several times, and he suddenly laughed, that’s right! It’s him, Cao Tian is homophonic to Caotian, isn’t Caotian the seedlings?

"Fifth brother, things are still not good. Cheng Yannian somehow got clues about being in the Chu Prince's Mansion. He started to investigate last night. The information I know is the result of the investigation just now."

Li Wei was surprised. How could they know? Although the news was sudden, he had no time to think about it. The situation was very urgent. He said without hesitation: "Let's go to the dock immediately."

At this moment, Yang Ning suddenly pulled out his knife, pointed to the flowers not far away and shouted in a low voice: "Who is it? Come out!"

When Li Wei turned around, he found a cluster of flowers not far away standing up behind him, "Brother Li, it's me."

‘Purple Tong!’ Li Weizheng suddenly heard her voice. The person coming was Ye Zitong. When she saw Li Wei leaving her seat, she secretly followed her. She slowly walked forward and bit her lip and said, “Brother Li, I have something important to tell you.”

"Zi Tong, I have something important now. I will come to you again the next day, okay?"

"Brother Li!"

Ye Zitong raised her head, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, her eyes were extremely sad. Li Wei was sighing secretly, and then said to Yang Ning: "You take one step first, control him, and then take him to Guo Xin, and I will arrive later."

"Yes!" Yang Ning jumped and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. When Li Wei saw him walking away, his heart fell down. Then he smiled at Ye Zitong and said, "Why did you cry like a child?"

"Brother Li, my mother has already decided on the marriage for me." Ye Zitong tried hard to restrain her inner excitement and said in a trembling voice.

Li Wei was walking forward, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said softly: "You should marry a woman when she is old, and you must get married!"

"But I..." Ye Zitong bit her lips tightly. She stared at Li Weizheng blankly. Suddenly she remembered that this was her sister's fiancé. Her eyes burst into pain and her eyes slowly dimmed. She shook her head gently and said sadly: "I have been a foil for my sister since I was a child. Because I am tall and wild like a boy, everyone in the family doesn't like me, including my parents, and the things I give to our sister will not be the same. Good things must be given to my sister, and even engage her in a marriage."

Ye Zitong's eyes and nose turned red. She turned her head and looked at the night sky, and said excitedly: "I remember very clearly that the person who came to the door to propose to her sister last year broke the threshold. My mother told her father that it would have been better if she had known to give Zitong to the Li family, but her father said that it would be a little wronged to give Zitong to Dalang, Humph! I felt wronged. When everyone in Wuchang mentioned the daughter of the Ye family, his tone turned into a joke. No one could like me. What Mrs. Luo did today is like choosing chickens and ducks in the market, and her disgusting son. Even humiliation is a gift. Who am I? Just because I am tall, because I am the foot of heaven, everyone can humiliate me and laugh at me to the fullest! Or do you even feel pity for me and sympathize with me?"

Ye Zitong was so excited that she trembled all over and burst into tears, "No! I also have dignity. I don't want others to sympathize with me. I would rather not get married for the rest of my life than be pitiful!"

Her lips shivered violently and could not continue to say anything. Li Wei was shocked by her passion. He held her shoulder with both hands and said to her in a deep voice: "Not everyone thinks you are tall, you think you are a god-foot, at least I like it. More importantly, you have a heart like gold, and marrying you is his blessing."

Ye Zitong looked at him foolishly, and she finally plucked up the courage, stared at Li Weizheng's eyes and murmured: "Do you know? I envy my sister's personal little maid. If possible, I am willing to exchange my identities with her. I am willing to be my sister's dowry little maid. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Weizheng was also moved in his heart. He confessed affectionately to her and for her infatuated gaze. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and resolutely said: "Zi Tong, I understand your feelings, but give me time to think about it, okay?"

"But my mother..." Ye Zitong suddenly made up her mind. She nodded silently, turned around and walked towards the main hall.

"Zi Tong!" Li Wei suddenly called her, but Ye Zi Tong suddenly turned around, with expectation flashing in her eyes.

Li Wei was walking up to her and smiled softly, "I want to ask you to do me a favor. It's very important, is that OK?"

Ye Zitong nodded heavily. Li Wei was taking out a pencil, quickly wrote a few words on a piece of paper, and handed it to Ye Zitong, "When you have the chance, you will hand this note to your father, and ask him to pass it to a man named Yu Ping, who is the representative of the prince. He is sitting in front of your father. This note is very important. If it doesn't work, forget it. Apart from your father, you must not give it to others. Do you remember it?"

"I remember." Ye Zitong carefully put away the notes, turned around and ran towards the hall. Suddenly she stopped, bent down and shouted to Li Weizheng with all her strength: "Do you know? It was the day of the small market, I fell in love with you."

After shouting, she ran towards the hall like a gust of wind.

Li Wei was looking at her back from afar, and with the murderous intent, a gentle feeling appeared in his heart.
