The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 266: Elbows Turned Outward

Tufu's Mansion.

Everyone knelt on the ground, stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Xiao Linzi coughed lightly, "Master Li, are you still not accepting my order?"

Li Cong quickly responded, "Yes, Li Cong accepts the order, long live the emperor."

The rest of the Li family: Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! ······

After Li Cong received the imperial edict, Xiao Linzi congratulated him with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Grand Tutor Li, our regent is one in a million. Your granddaughter will be blessed in the future."

Li Cong also smiled, "Thank you, Eunuch Lin, for your good words. But Eunuch Lin," Li Cong took him aside, "I have some questions, I wonder if you can answer them?"

Xiao Linzi hurriedly bowed and said, "You are too polite, Master, but you can say whatever you want."

Li Cong stroked his beard and said, "The marriage between my granddaughter and the regent was indeed arranged by their master. We knew about this before. But Lan'er is still young and wanted to stay for two more years. Why did the emperor suddenly..."

Eunuch Lin looked around with a smile on his face, his expression did not change at all, "About this matter, the emperor asked me to tell the master the truth, this matter was requested by the Empress Dowager, and Prince Cheng also needs to return to the capital by then."

Li Cong's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't show it on his face at all.

Xiao Linzi bowed to Li Taifu again and said loudly, "Then I will go back and report. The wedding date is quite tight, Taifu, you have to arrange it as soon as possible. After all, it is the regent's wedding, and many things cannot be sloppy."

Li Cong hurriedly bowed, "Of course, of course. Thank you for your help, eunuch."

"Hey, you're welcome."

Then, Xiao Linzi left with a group of people.

"Dad!" Li Yi was the most uneasy at this moment. He hadn't even accepted the engagement yet, so how could he get married? His daughter was still young and it had only been a short time since she came back to recognize him.

Li Cong hurriedly stopped him from saying anything else, glanced at the people watching at the door, and said, "Let's talk in the study." Then he looked at Li Xun, Li Yun, and Li Xi, and said, "You come too."

"Yes, Dad." "Yes, Dad." "Yes, Grandfather."

Zhang was not as anxious as Li Yi seemed. After all, she gradually accepted the regent as her future son-in-law. Of course, Li Xi had contributed greatly to this. Every time she talked about the regent with her mother, she would talk endlessly and say good things about him. Over time, Zhang also really felt that the regent was indeed good.

Except for the fact that she was born into a royal family, which made Zhang feel a little repulsive, everything else was good.

"Dad, what should I do now? This...this...I haven't even agreed yet, why are we getting married? This...the royal family is too bullying." Li Yi's tone sounded very aggrieved, his daughter.

Li Xi was confused, "Dad, aren't my sister and the Regent engaged? It's normal to get married. Besides, the Regent is so outstanding and good, and he is a perfect match for my sister."

Li Yi was furious when he heard his son's words. "The adults are talking, why do you, a kid, butt in?"

Li Xi looked at his grandfather with some grievance, "Grandfather asked me to come, I thought I could speak."

"How long has your sister been back? She's been so good to you, and you won't be reluctant to let her go when she's about to get married? You... you ungrateful bastard." He was so angry, as if he was the only one who was still holding on in the family. Even Zhang now thought Chu Chenfeng was pretty good, alas.

"Sister is not marrying away, she is marrying in Kyoto, in the Prince Regent's Palace. The Prince Regent said that sister can come back whenever she wants, and we can visit her whenever we want, so there is nothing to be reluctant about. If she really married away, then we would be reluctant to let her go."

Li Yi pointed at him with trembling hands, "You...you...when did the Regent tell you this?"

"I just heard that he and my sister were engaged not long ago. I often read books in the palace library. The Regent often helps me answer my questions, and sometimes we just chat casually."

"You...you...humph." Li Yi sat down angrily and said nothing.

The other three watched the father and son talking, looked at each other, and just smiled without saying anything.

Li Xi felt that he had not said enough, and continued, "Dad, I think it's good for my sister to marry the regent. It's not that the regent is so powerful, but he is a good person and treats my sister well. Moreover, he told his son that there will only be my sister as a princess in his backyard, and no other women."

"You believe this? He is the regent. Even if you don't count his concubines, he still has two concubines." Li Yi retorted angrily.

"Anyway, that's what the Regent told me, and I believe him."

Li Yi shook his head, feeling really depressed. He didn't know what kind of magic potion the Regent had given to this brat, causing him to become so unfaithful.

Li Xi's eyes rolled and he continued, "Besides, I heard from Brother Yuan Ruo that if my sister is not engaged, she will definitely leave once our family is settled."

Li Yi was stunned. "Leave? Where to leave? This is her home?"

"Yes, but my sister has lived in Longyan Mountain for a longer time. It is also her home and she has her master there. The master of the Divine Doctor Valley is also very kind to her and can be considered as half of her master. Although she has not formally become his disciple, she often stays there for a while. My sister also has many senior brothers. She spent half of her time traveling around in previous years..."

The more Li Xi spoke, the lower his voice became, and his little eyes kept looking at his father, whose face turned pale and blue.

Li Yi's lips trembled. "But...but this is her home, and we are her relatives. How can she...leave?"

Li Xun glared at Li Xi. This kid was so cunning that he even used his little tricks on his father. His elder brother was a straightforward person and didn't see through his son's little tricks at all. He was really sad.

Li Xi lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at his second uncle.

"Brother, don't think too much. Lan'er is a good child of our Li family. But what happened back then did happen. Over the years, her master and several senior brothers have been very kind to her. It is reasonable for Lan'er to regard them as relatives. It does not conflict with the fact that she is a girl from our Li family and your daughter."

Seeing that Li Yi did not respond, he continued, "Lan'er is free-spirited and open-minded. If there were no such marriage, and she wanted to travel, would you, as a father, be willing to trap her in a small Kyoto?"

Li Yi felt warm inside when he thought of his daughter's bright smiling face. He hoped that his daughter Lan'er could always smile and be so happy like that.
