The monarchs and ministers of Jing State were very resolute in rejecting the proposal of marriage from the envoys of Qi State, without any hesitation, which also meant that there was no room for maneuver.
The eldest princess is not only the eldest princess, she also knows many secrets of Jing State that cannot be known to outsiders, including heavenly punishment. It is absolutely impossible for these secrets to be exiled to Qi State.
Not to mention, the current political situation is entirely dependent on Her Royal Highness. Without the eldest princess, the construction of the academy will surely come to a standstill, and the implementation of the marriage policy will again encounter huge obstacles.
The envoys of the State of Qi did not propose peace again, and broke up unhappy early in the morning. After returning to Honglu Temple, they were not in a hurry to leave, as if they still had a glimmer of hope in the matter.
As the current person in charge of the Cui family, Cui Qingming's face turned completely gloomy from the moment he walked out of the palace.
"The envoy of the State of Qi is suing for peace this time and wants to marry the eldest princess. This is an opportunity that we cannot miss. We must not let it go like this!"
After hearing about this, one person from the Cui family came out anxiously and said repeatedly.
"Li Yi, this son, has become a celebrity."
Cui Qingming pressed his palms heavily on the table and murmured: "You haven't seen the scene in the court today. We can no longer compete with him just relying on the remaining strength of our Cui family in the court."
"But we..."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, someone hurriedly walked in from outside the door and said, "There is news from the palace. The female official on your side has sent a message."
Cui Qingming stood up and looked with everyone at a female official who walked into the room.
The female officer glanced at Cui Qingming and the others, with no expression on her face, and said lightly: "The queen asked me to ask Mr. Cui, what are you waiting for?"
Cui Qingming clenched his fists. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Tell me, I know what to do."
…
Li Duan, who is six months old, is already very restless. Although he cannot walk yet, he can already turn over on his own and make steps when supported by an adult. Li Yi plans to make one for his children to learn to walk.
When the car arrives, it should be ready for use in two months at most.
"Li Mingzhu is going to marry to Qi State?"
While sketching in the room, Miss Liu Er suddenly walked in and asked inexplicably.
Li Yi looked up at her, then lowered his head and asked casually: "Who said that?"
Miss Liu Er walked over and took a look, then stood aside and said, "There are rumors outside."
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Don't worry, she won't marry anyone who comes to Qi State, even if she wants to, no one in the court will agree."
Miss Liu Er crossed her arms and murmured: "A nineteen-year-old princess should have gotten married long ago."
Li Yi raised his head, looked at her in surprise, and asked, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be a few days older than her, right?"
Miss Liu Er turned to look at him, nodded and said, "You did remember correctly...so, what do you want to say?"
"Let me tell you, my memory is not wrong..." Li Yi lowered his head and continued to draw the drawings, murmuring: "It's better to be bigger, it's better to be bigger..."
After drawing the drawing, the next thing to do is to make and polish it. After the finished product is made, you still need to test and adjust it, but you can just leave these to the craftsmen.
If it hadn't been for Miss Liu Er's reminder, Li Yi wouldn't have realized that she was already nineteen years old, and even Xiao Huan had already passed the seventeen-year-old threshold, became much more sensible, and was about to become a big girl.
Only Tsundere Loli remains the same as when we first met. She seems to have not changed at all. She is still as playful as ever. She can play with Li Duan, who is six months old, and saves her and Ruyi a lot of trouble.
.
Li Yi walked into the room and saw the little guy lying on his back on the bed, and the tsundere loli lying beside the bed, blinking his big eyes, curiously looking at a smaller guy in the little guy's crotchless pants, and finally at a certain moment
, couldn’t help but reach out and pull...
…
Magistrate Liu supported his chin with one hand. There was a thick file in front of him, but his mind was not on the file. His eyes were blurred, his upper and lower eyelids touched together, and he opened them quickly...
In the past month, more than ten cases of missing women have attracted great attention from above, and he was strictly ordered to solve the case within a time limit. But a few days have passed, and there is no news about the thieves. From last night to now, he has not heard anything all day and night.
Closed eyes.
"Sir, good news, good news!"
Seeing a government official running in from outside with a face full of surprise, Magistrate Liu was startled, immediately stood up and asked: "Is there any progress in that case?"
The yamen servant shook his head and said: "The appointment came from the young master. The young master was hired by the Ministry of Household Affairs..."
Magistrate Liu waved his hand feebly. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue had long been angry with him about this matter. After the incompetent boy entered the arithmetic college, he actually became enlightened. He graduated with excellent grades and did not give him any money.
It's embarrassing. This time he went to the Ministry of Finance to practice and practice. He didn't need to worry about his future anymore.
He waved his hand below and said, "I understand, you can go down."
He was so sleepy that he lay down on the desk and planned to take a rest. Not long after he closed his eyes, a thunderous sound sounded in his ears again.
"Sir, good news..."
Magistrate Liu patted the table, without even bothering to open his eyes, and said, "Okay, I understand, you go down, I'll sleep for a while..."
He lay on the table, closed his eyes and took a nap for a while. Then he regained some energy. He picked up the file and was about to read it. When he saw the yamen officer still standing below, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Sir, what should we do next?"
Magistrate Liu frowned and said, "What's next?"
"In the case of the missing woman, Capt. Zhao and the others have discovered some clues. Come back and ask me to ask what you mean..."
"When did you discover it?" Magistrate Liu suddenly stood up from his seat and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
The policeman was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not your fault, sir. You already know..."
Magistrate Liu has been worrying about this matter for the past few days. The case has made progress, but he didn't tell him immediately. What if, what happens during this period of time...
He glared at the policeman, gritted his teeth and said, "Speak quickly!"
The detective trembled and immediately said: "Thanks to your guidance, after we narrowed down the scope of the undercover investigation according to the method you mentioned, we found that there are some problems somewhere outside the city..."
…
"Sun Daru has studied classics and meanings all his life. Although he is not as good as Qin Wen, he still has unique insights in some aspects. He stays away from the bustling city and lives in a cottage outside the city. It takes a lot of effort to find him.
Kung Fu, go ahead..."
Chu Ping bowed respectfully and said, "My grandson, please retire."
"Ping'er's legs..." Seeing Chu Ping limping away, the middle-aged man stood beside Master Chu and sighed.
"That's a human life, a living human life." Taifu Chu watched Chu Ping go away and shook his head: "And he only injured one leg when he knelt down. I just hope that he can remember the lesson of this time and not make the same mistake again..."
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "He has devoted himself to learning these days. He has always realized his mistakes and has the intention to correct them..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the Chu family came to report that Cui Qingming from the Cui family came to visit. (https:)
