The Almighty Princess just wants to farm
Chapter 4 Peony Party (Part [-])
The seventh day of the second lunar month
Before dawn, Aunt Liu brought people over to freshen up Dongfang Li.
"Miss, is Aunt Liu too impatient?"
While Chunlu helped Dongfang Li adjust her sleeves, she complained softly.
"She is just a mother who wants to find support for her children."
Dongfang Li's reaction was very indifferent, as if these things could not arouse her interest.
"She treated the young lady like that, and now you still think about her and want me to..."
"Spring Dew!"
The winter frost scolded the chattering spring dew.
"I know you are all complaining about me. Although Mrs. Liu almost raised me in those years, you have to admit that it was precisely because of her care in those years that my father was able to go out to fight with peace of mind. He was only six years old. At this age, I am not without a father, a mother, and no one to look after me."
In those years, although Dongfang Li's body began to develop horizontally under the "care" of Liu's family, and he almost lost his instinct to practice martial arts, Dongfang Li knew clearly that in those years he almost never got sick throughout the year. No matter how much trouble he made, Liu's family would Not once did he touch her.
It wasn't until she was seven years old that Liu gave birth to Dongfang Jiao. After Mo Li finally accepted the fact that she was Dongfang Li, she began to regulate her body and even got up in the middle of the night to secretly practice martial arts.
Gradually, Dongfang Jiao became her little tail, and she became slim and graceful.
"But you are the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. Look at where you live now. You don't look like a eldest lady. The second lady lives better than you."
"Chunlu, Jiaojiao is about to get haircut. How long do you think I can stay in the house?"
Dongfang Li has already passed her [-]th year. In the early years, due to rumors from outside, no one wanted to come to propose marriage. Later, although her image changed, her father was not at home all year round. Now she is in her twenties. , There are really not many days left in the house.
"Miss... I know I was wrong."
Chunlu lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"It's okay. There are many people talking in the Duke's Mansion today. Don't talk nonsense and let other people's excuses slip."
"Yes."
……
After breakfast, Dongfang Li was dressed in cyan glazed brocade, embroidered with a layer of smoky cyan saros. Starlight shone as she walked, and her hair was simply pulled up, embellished with only a jasper hairpin.
Dongfang Jiao, who was following next to her, was wearing a goose-yellow blouse, which made her look pretty and cute.
"Sister, this is the first time we have left the house together."
"I usually don't like to go out. Today, in the Duke's office, we must pay attention to our words and deeds, and don't lose face to my father."
"I see."
……
When Sister Dongfang Li arrived at the Duke's Mansion, many of the young masters and ladies from other houses had already arrived, and they were talking quietly together with good friends.
"Miss Dongfang from the General's Mansion is here!"
Following the announcement from the attendant at the door, Dongfang Li and the others appeared in front of everyone.
"Li'er is here?"
As the organizer of this peony party, Changsun Ruixue was the first to come over and say hello.
"Dongfang Li has met Princess Xue."
"Dongfangjiao has met Princess Xue."
"We haven't seen each other for several years. Is Li'er alienated from me?"
Changsun Ruixue stared and pursed her lips.
"How come? But the etiquette should not be wasted."
Dongfang Li smiled and pinched Changsun Ruixue's cheek.
"I want to tell my uncle that you bullied me."
"Father won't come back until the end of the year."
"Then I'll keep it together. When my uncle comes back, I'll tell you about your crimes for three days and three nights."
"Ruixue, how is your aunt recently?"
Dongfang Li changed the topic naturally.
"I've been using the prescription you prescribed, and I've been sleeping well recently."
Changsun Ruixue whispered back in Dongfang Li's ear.
"Well, I'll go over and see my aunt later."
"You don't know, my mother has been talking about you. If you hadn't stopped me, she would have picked you up to stay here long ago."
"I am the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. Wouldn't it be a joke to live in the Duke's Mansion?"
Dongfang Li always knew that her aunt cared about her, but the original owner's mother had just passed away at that time, and he had just arrived here. He was unfamiliar with everything, so naturally he would not live here.
As time passed, Dongfang Li gradually got used to it, but occasionally people would send messages to the Duke's Mansion, saying that he was fine and didn't need to worry about it.
As the wife of the Duke's mansion, my aunt is already in poor health and has to take care of such a huge mansion, so why should I go and cause trouble?
"Okay, you finally come out for once, and I will take you to meet other people."
Changsun Ruixue pulled Dongfang Li toward the pavilion, where three ladies with dignified manners were sitting.
"Sister, I won't join in the fun. The garden of the Duke's Mansion is beautiful. Can I go around by myself?"
Dongfang Jiao tugged on Dongfang Li's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll let Dongshuang accompany you, don't go too far."
"Thank you sister."
"Don't worry, miss, I will take good care of the second miss."
"Your sister is quite discerning."
Changsun Ruixue looked at Dongfangjiao who turned to leave and couldn't help but make a comment.
"Aunt Liu has some foresight and didn't raise this child crookedly. It's rare."
Dongfang Jiao's well-behaved and sensible nature made Dongfang Li very happy.
"Ruixue, you're here!"
In the pavilion, a woman wearing a white skirt stood up and greeted her familiarly.
"Zheng'er, this is my cousin Dongfang Li from the General's Mansion. Li'er, this is Xuanyuan Zheng from the Shangshu Mansion."
"Li'er, this is Shangguan Chuchu of the Nanhou Mansion. Next to me is Su Jianxi, the granddaughter of Mr. Su, the great scholar."
Changsun Ruixue introduced Shangguan Chuchu in red and Su Jianxi in pink skirt in turn. One was lively and active, the other was quiet and peaceful.
The five people chatting enthusiastically in the pavilion have very different personalities, but they are all beautiful. Each has its own advantages and beauty.
"Li'er, you've hardly gone out these years, and you haven't participated in various activities in Kyoto. This time, if I hadn't taken the initiative to send you the post, I'm afraid you would have escaped again."
"No, I was originally going to attend the peony party this time. Not to mention my sister who is about to get hairpins, I have no reason to delay it any longer, right?"
"General Dongfang will return to Beijing to station at the end of the year, and Li'er's marriage will probably be put on the agenda."
Xuanyuan Zheng glanced at Dongfang Li sympathetically.
"Zheng'er hasn't discussed the marriage yet?"
"Zheng'er has been engaged to my brother for a long time, but my brother is away from home all year round and rarely comes home. The two of us don't see each other more than once a year."
Shangguan Chuchu shook Xuanyuan Zheng's hand distressedly.
"If the two of them really treat each other, it doesn't matter if they wait. If it's just because they are a good match and are of similar age, it's okay to take some time to think it over."
Dongfang Li takes things very lightly when it comes to relationships. As a person who received modern education in her previous life, she has limited ability to accept three wives and four concubines in this time and space.
If two people can't join hands for life, then she would rather keep her true feelings until she grows old.
