Chapter 2608
Su Li doesn't mind the scars on her face, but she still has an inexplicable anxiety when facing someone she likes.
Most likely, people in love will be like this.
"Princess, are you injured?" Xiao Xu didn't pay attention to the affairs of the royal family, and he didn't know that Su Lishi avoided the marriage by disfiguring her face.
Seeing the concern in his eyes, Su Li warmed her heart, "Well, it's just a small injury, it's not a big deal. It's just... not pretty, so I usually wear a veil."
"No, no, the princess is beautiful." Xiao Xu's eyes were gentle and focused, but he stuttered a little. He was obviously a great talent, but he couldn't even utter a single line of praise, he could only express it with the most dry words.
Xiao Qing felt so blinded, how could her nephew act like this whenever he met a little beauty, he was still a baby after all.
Su Li turned around and faced him directly, "Really?"
"Of course."
"It seems that the injury was not deep enough. Fortunately, I deceived the father at that time." Su Li raised the corner of her mouth and laughed.
"What?" Xiao Xu was at a loss.
"I haven't been favored in the palace since I was a child. My father thought of me as a daughter when he planned to get married with Dongyi country some time ago. But I didn't want to go, so I designed to disfigure myself. My father planned to let Beitang Jin go. It's just that she doesn't want to make a marriage. She doesn't need to scratch her face like me, as long as she has a powerful mother and concubine. Concubine Jing suggested that one of the ministers should be selected to replace Beitang Jin to make a marriage, and then she found Miss Xiao. In the final analysis, it was because of me that Miss Xiao married into Dongyi country. I'm sorry." Su Li didn't want the Xiao family to misunderstand her, they didn't know the details, especially Xiao Xu. Simply, she said everything clearly by herself, lest there will be villains in the future to sow discord.
Xiao Xu's expression was a little dazed, he just knew the truth of the marriage, and while feeling sorry for his sister, he was also a little shocked by Su Li's determination, what kind of determination did an unfavored royal princess use to hurt her face of.
"Princess, I can't blame you. What's more, you are protecting this country in your own way." Xiao Qing didn't know what to say, she was a straightforward person, and she did have a prejudice against the royal family in her heart. After all, those who marry far away suffer People are their own precious nieces. But the same thing is that getting married is not the responsibility that the princess should bear at birth. Everyone in Beilan should be the same when facing family and country issues. It's just that reason is one thing, but emotions are hard to control.
Su Li smiled and said, "It's getting late today, I have to go back to the palace first. Master, I'll come back tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Xiao Qing nodded.
Su Li looked at the silent Xiao Xu again, "Senior brother, see you tomorrow."
"Uh huh. See you tomorrow." Xiao Xu watched her leave with a hidden guard and a maid, and his heartbeat slowed down a bit.
"Everyone is gone, why are you still watching?" Xiao Qing looked at him with teasing in his tone.
"Auntie, why did the princess come to ask you to learn martial arts as a teacher?" Xiao Xu didn't care about her jokes, but asked seriously.
"This princess is terrible. Don't look at her as a little girl, but she has a big heart." Xiao Qing squinted her eyes slightly, "She said, Bei Lan is the Bei Lan of all the people, and it needs everyone's protection, not Only rely on a friendly woman. In the face of aggression, it is useless to retreat, only resistance can truly defeat the enemy. She said that as a princess of a country, she is willing to go to the battlefield and protect the country.”
