It takes more than ten breaths of effort.

Li Shizi fired his bow from left to right, and slapped Cao Rang no less than ten times on the face. Only then did Ji Qi get rid of the bad breath of being "coveted" by the eunuch.

Li Danqing thought silently, if Ji Qi saw him defending him in this way, he would definitely regret not giving him the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Three Palaces and Nine Divisions.

At this moment, Cao Rang completely lost his previous arrogance. There were stars in his eyes, his cheeks were severely swollen, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood, which kept dripping down his lips.

He staggered, then stood up with difficulty, looked at Li Danqing, opened his mouth and was about to say: "Our family..."

But just as he said these words, he saw Li Danqing raising his arm. Cao Rang was still frightened, his body trembled, and he didn't dare to say anything. He almost subconsciously covered his face and hid aside.

Li Danqing withdrew his raised hand at that time, stared at Cao Rang teasingly, and said, "Go away."

Cao Rang's face turned purple for a while, but he also knew that he was the only one who would suffer if he stayed any longer. He glared at Li Danqing fiercely, but his eyes fell on Li Danqing's other hand, which was the book of Wu Chang Bo that he had taken away.

Li Danqing obviously understood what he was thinking. He gently weighed the small black book in his hand and said, "Call your master, if she dares."

"You are harming others and yourself!" Cao Rang gritted his teeth and stared at Li Danqing and said.

Hearing this, Prince Li raised his eyebrows, and Cao Rang, who was still frightened, felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything at all, and hurriedly left the Yanhuan Palace as if running away.

The hurried look was like a defeated rooster.

Li Danqing squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Rang leaving, thinking this in his heart.

But it feels wrong...

Rooster……

Hmm...he is not fair.

Well...he doesn't have the latter either.

What an inappropriate metaphor...

…

Prince Li restrained his thoughts that had drifted to the sky.

He turned his head to look at Liu Qing'er, who was standing aside, and saw that her beautiful eyes were wide open and her lips were open. She was obviously in great shock and had not yet recovered.

"Empress." Li Danqing waved his palm in front of the other party's eyes, bringing the absent-minded concubine back to her senses.

Liu Qing'er was excited and looked at Li Danqing: "Sir, Cao Rang is..."

"What are you doing! Eunuch Cao is the Queen's confidant! My wife is walking on thin ice every day. You have offended Cao Rang. How can I, Yanhuan Palace, survive in the future!" Liu Qing'er's words have not yet been spoken.

The old woman who had led Li Danqing the way before spoke loudly with her feet raised and her chest raised.

Li Danqing frowned and did not respond.

But Liu Qing'er said: "Grandma Yu, you can't say that, this gentleman also has good intentions."

After saying this, she looked at Li Danqing again and said sincerely: "It may not be clear to you when you come to Yanhuan Palace for the first time, but Cao Rang is the empress's confidant and is highly valued by the empress."

"Your Majesty beat him today. He is narrow-minded and will definitely go to the Queen's side to smear Your Majesty. You should go back first to avoid her criticism. If the Queen really comes to hold you accountable later, I will defend you."

Li Danqing was stunned when he heard this. He stared at Liu Qing'er who was dressed like a peasant woman in front of him with a playful expression, and asked with a smile: "Then Cao Rang is obviously targeting the empress. The empress asked me to go back. The queen will arrive later.

Wouldn't it make the other party take all the heat out on you?"

Liu Qing'er smiled bitterly: "This is not the first time. I'm used to it."

"Don't worry, sir. The Queen may punish you, but for the sake of Yu Zhi and Yao'er, she won't make it too difficult..."

So, is it really Xiang Rong, the Lord of the East Palace, who has been harshly criticizing and making things difficult for the three of them?

Li Danqing secretly sorted out the information revealed in Liu Qing'er's words.

But although Liu Qing'er has a beautiful appearance, she is far from being a queen of the country. Looking at the shabby appearance of her residence, she doesn't look like she is favored. Why does Xiang Rong, who is a post-public official, want to make things so difficult for her?

Since it's not a fight for favor, it's most likely about the gain or loss of the crown prince's position.

But the third prince was only eleven years old, and he had no support from the sect's nobles, so he didn't look like he could threaten Ji Quan.

Compared to this "orphan and widowed mother", how do you think the pressure brought by the second prince Ji Fei on the prince Ji Quan should be greater, right?

Or is it that the queen is jealous and cannot tolerate any sand?

Li Danqing shuddered inexplicably when he thought of this. He thought carefully about his girls, well...at least so far, no one seems to have such a "bad habit".

Li Shizi breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled lightly at Liu Qing'er who looked worried, and said: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you."

With that said, Li Danqing walked towards Ji Yuzhi and Ji Yao who were standing in front of the door.

Seeing that Li Danqing had no intention of leaving, Liu Qing'er couldn't help but frown, still looking a little worried, but seeing that Li Danqing was full of confidence, she couldn't say anything more after all.

…

Liu Qing'er hunched over, holding a sickle, and cleared the weeds growing on a vegetable patch.

The old woman known as Granny Yu handed her a bowl of water at the right time: "My queen, please drink some water."

Liu Qing'er nodded, took the porcelain bowl and stood up to take a sip, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the man in brocade clothes standing in front of the door in front of her children.

She was a little curious about the identity of the other party - although Yanhuan Palace was located in the imperial city, just like its claustrophobic palace gate, it was actually more like an island isolated in this divine palace.

Apart from sending some food to the palace every month, Liu Qing'er had no contact with anyone else.

Although my son mentioned it yesterday that his father seemed to have found a teacher for them, Liu Qing'er didn't know who it was.

"Empress." The old woman next to her looked worried and glanced at Li Danqing who was talking to Ji Yuzhi and Ji Yao in front of the door. She said: "The empress has never been able to find a reason.

I’m in trouble, I’m afraid today…”

"It's okay, mother-in-law, don't worry, the queen is not unreasonable..." Liu Qing'er said with a smile and comforted her.

Liu Qing'er's smile made the old woman feel a little distressed. She reached out and picked up the sickle on the ground and said, "My queen, please rest for a while. I will do the rest for you."

When Liu Qing'er saw this, she quickly stretched out her hand to stop Granny Yu and said, "My mother-in-law is old, so let me do these things."

Saying that, he quickly took it

He took the sickle from Grandma Yu's hand, bowed and started working in the fields again.

Granny Yu looked at Liu Qing'er helplessly and sighed: "Your Majesty is so kind-hearted... How can your Majesty have the heart to treat you like this..."

Liu Qing'er, who was working in the fields with her head down, trembled when she heard this, paused for about a breath, and then said again: "Your Majesty has your Majesty's difficulties."

"If it weren't for the empress, us old people would have died somewhere long ago. As slaves, we are left to be taken care of by the empress. I feel guilty." Granny Yu sighed again.

Liu Qing'er looked up at Granny Yu with a soft smile: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? We have been dependent on each other for so many years. It was thanks to the care of my mothers-in-law when I first entered the palace. In my heart, my mothers-in-law are all my family members.

There are masters and servants.”

…

Cough cough cough.

There was a violent coughing sound from the door next to him. Li Danqing frowned and looked there.

But obviously the owner of the voice was not in the main house, and Li Danqing had no way of knowing who else lived in the house.

"It's Grandma Ji." Ji Yuzhi, who was standing by, seemed to have seen through Li Danqing's thoughts, and said suddenly at that time.

Li Danqing raised his eyebrows: surnamed Ji?

"Grandma Ji was a palace maid when grandpa was in power. She was given the imperial surname. She must have been in a high position at that time. However, no one cares about her in the palace now. Only my mother is willing to take her in. This is probably because of the feud between the feudal lords more than ten years ago.

It's related." While Li Danqing was still thinking about it, Ji Yuzhi said in a crisp voice.

Li Danqing was stunned, turned to look at the third prince with red lips and white teeth, and asked: "Who did you listen to about this?"

"My guess is that it's not difficult to deduce the age, situation and surname. The three factors are added together." The little prince said so. At this time, he also raised his head and looked at Li Danqing with a scrutinizing gaze. He saw Li Shizi's face showing surprise.

Ji Yuzhi frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied.

"Can't you?" he asked in a very strange tone.

"Ahem." Li Danqing coughed twice, covering up his embarrassment at being looked down upon by a child in his early ten years, and said with a smile: "Of course, there is nothing in this world that I can't do!"

As he said this, he glanced to the side with a guilty look and looked at his other student, Ji Yao.

But she saw that the princess was still eating corn. Facing Li Danqing's gaze, she just raised her head and then lost interest again. She lowered her head and continued to fight...

When Ji Yuzhi heard this, his eyes were still a little suspicious, and he asked again: "Okay, what are you going to teach us today?"

Eager to regain his position, Prince Li quickly took out the books he had prepared long ago from his arms and said: "You are still young, let's learn from the most basics."

"The "Chronicles of the Spring and Autumn Period" contains the history of Taizu's founding of the country..." Li Danqing had done enough homework and was about to talk at that time.

"Chronicles of the Spring and Autumn Period is divided into three chapters: Xilong, Generals, and Hundreds of News." But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by His Royal Highness the Prince, who looked mature in front of him. I saw Ji Yuzhi speaking like a young adult.

The tone is eloquent: "What Xilong said was based on the life of the ancestor emperor, what the generals said was the biography of the civil and military officials under the ancestor emperor, and what Baiwen wrote was about the Lu'an Rebellion and Chengping Ping Dynasty after the establishment of the dynasty.

The three major events of the Battle of Western Liao... I have read about these when I was four years old."

"Four years old?!" Prince Li's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Ji Yuzhi in disbelief.

"When I was four years old, my son was still playing with his mother's urine..." Li Danqing muttered secretly in his heart, but in view of his previous experience of being despised by Ji Yuzhi, Li Shizi did not say such words to his mouth this time.

He just coughed and put on a very pleased look on his face.

"Well, it's not bad. My prince... I finished reading these at about the same age."
