In the room, Mrs. Chen was teaching Zui Mo embroidery. For the official ladies in Kyoto, embroidery is a skill that must be mastered. Most of them will embroider their wedding dresses by hand before getting married.
Seeing Li Yi walking in, she quickly hid her wedding dress. Li Yi didn't know what her psychology was, but she actually regarded the wedding dress as more secretive than the bellyband. He had even seen her wearing a bellyband several times.
This time, she didn't even show him an unembroidered wedding dress.
Mrs. Chen put their hands together and said, "You two should also choose a date and set the date earlier. You can't keep delaying it like this."
"It's still early..." Zui Mo lowered his head and whispered.
Li Yi glanced at her and said, "Why is it still early? It's not too early."
Seeing him break away from his hand and run out quickly, Li Yi shook his head helplessly. Even though she usually seemed quite bold, after the relationship between the two went further, she became shy.
Miss Chen San looked at her running back with a smile. After a long time, she turned her head, sighed, and said: "You are still young and don't know the dangers of the court. The family can live peacefully and happily.
Even if it's a bit calmer, it's still better than facing those intrigues and fights every day."
Li Yi lowered his head, but did not speak.
No one likes to live in intrigues and scheming with each other all day long. Compared with these, isn't it more interesting to entertain children at home and tease tsundere lolita?
If you want stability, you must first endure turmoil.
She looked outside the door to see what the two women were talking about, then turned around and said, "I think that child Ruoqing is also thinking about you. Although there is Zui Mo here, you can't ignore her all the time. I see."
When she comes out, she is actually suffering more than anyone else, so don’t let her down."
"I know." Li Yi looked outside the door, nodded and said, "No."
She looked at Li Yi, with a rare hint of complaint on her face, "Your father was so dedicated back then. In order to elope with your mother, he even gave up the family inheritance. Why did he end up with you?
Incurring so many love debts..."
Li Yi had an embarrassed look on his face, unable to refute and could only remain silent.
She patted the back of Li Yi's hand and said, "Okay, it's your blessing to be favored by so many wonderful people. I just hope that you won't break anyone's heart in the future..."
After saying that, he stood up, smiled and said: "When I come to your place, I can't help but talk too much... Please stay with them, I'm going back."
Li Yi stood up at the same time, sent her out, and watched Chen Chong walk out of the teahouse opposite.
The maid of the Chen Mansion helped her get into the carriage. When Chen Chong was about to board another carriage, Li Yi suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Chen have so much free time every day?"
Chen Chong lowered his hand that had already opened the curtain and asked, "Is it possible that Mr. Li plans to go to the princess to read a certain book?"
"I'm not the kind of person who can make snitches." Li Yi shook his head and said, "I just want to advise Mr. Chen, who is an official of the imperial court after all. There are always a few days in a month where you have to pretend to work hard.
..., of course, besides that, there is one little thing I want to remind Mr. Chen..."
He lowered his voice slightly and said, "Stay as far away from the Cui family as possible."
Chen Chong had a sarcastic look on his face. He was about to speak, but after hearing the second half of his words, his expression suddenly froze and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Master Chen will understand." Li Yi looked at him, said again, turned around and walked back to the yard.
Chen Chong was left alone, with a solemn expression on his face. Thousands of thoughts had already passed through his mind, and they finally boiled down to a certain message.
The Cui family... I'm afraid something is going to change.
When Li Yi walked back, Zui Mo walked out of the room and asked, "Mrs. Chen is gone?"
"Going back." Li Yi walked over, put his arms around her slender waist, and said, "She asked me to spend more time with you."
"Who, who asked you to accompany me..." She glanced at Zeng Shichun who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea in a panic, and hurriedly pushed him away.
Then, as if he realized something, he looked at him and asked uncertainly: "You guys?"
Li Yi turned around and walked quickly in the direction of Zeng Shichun: "Master Zeng, what did you think about the incident just now..."
"I feel that the King of Shu has no talent and virtue, and is indeed unfit for the throne. Otherwise, the kingdom that His Majesty and the courtiers have managed to stabilize may be destroyed in his hands." Zeng Shichun thought for a while and said: "Among the many princes,
His Royal Highness the King of Jin is undoubtedly an outstanding person, and his status is equally noble. However, the King of Jin is too young to be a great treasure. At present, apart from Your Majesty, the only one who can manage the country well is the eldest princess, but His Highness the Princess has already assisted the government.
It sets a precedent, it’s really…”
Li Yi looked at him in surprise and asked: "Is this the issue we just talked about?"
…
What Zeng Shichun said made sense. In fact, the further he went, the more he realized how difficult it was for Mingzhu to put on that uniform and experience the temptation of a dragon robe. Their purpose at the beginning was just not to let this great thing happen.
The country just fell into the hands of the King of Shu. Up to now, the King of Shu has been eliminated early. She was unwilling to let the old emperor know about this matter, but she would never agree to let the country of the Li family fall into the hands of others...
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded, "Yes, no matter what, this country cannot fall into the hands of the King of Shu."
This pavilion has become more and more often the place where the two people have secret conversations, because there is lake water everywhere here, and there is the sound of water waves. Unless someone has clairvoyance and ears, they can't hear what they say.
He looked around, and there seemed to be a bright light shining in the trees on the shore of the lake, and then disappeared in an instant.
Li Mingzhu suddenly said: "Uncle Ning Wang has returned to Qing'an Mansion."
Li Yi looked away, looked at her and asked, "It's already June now. They should have gone back long ago. Is there anything strange about this?"
"It's just because Uncle Ning went back that it was strange." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "This time, only Uncle Ning went back alone and took away the military talismans, enough to mobilize two thousand troops..."
"What can two thousand soldiers do? Looting the Cui family's ancestral home in Qing'an Prefecture is enough. Rebellion... I'm afraid it's not even close."
Li Mingzhu looked at the lake for a long time, then turned around, with a trace of confusion on her face: "I suspect that my father and Uncle Ning are hiding something from us and the courtiers..."
"I can't see..." Among the low trees on the lake shore, Li Xuan looked at the two people with their backs to him in the pavilion in the center of the lake, and murmured helplessly.
After finally seeing Mingzhu turn around, she immediately cheered up and tightened her grip on the telescope in her hand.
He frowned and murmured, "You speak so fast, how can you hear clearly..."
A look of confusion appeared on his face. What exactly was Mingzhu pregnant with? He hid it from the emperor's uncle and the courtiers, and looked like he was in a state of confusion...
Snap!
As if he realized something, he took a deep breath, with a look of shock on his face. He suddenly dropped the telescope in his hand to the ground, and jumped up from the bushes.
Li Yi and Li Mingzhu raised their heads and looked at Li Xuan, who was wearing a wreath made of tree branches and dotted with a few small flowers, running towards them, and an unexpected expression appeared on their faces at the same time.
