Happy Little Scholar

In the room, Mrs. Chen was teaching Zui Mo embroidery. For the official ladies in Kyoto, embroidery was a must-have skill. Most of them would 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 folded their hands together and said, "You two should also choose a date. 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, "It's still early, it's not 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, she became shy after the relationship between the two went further.

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 now 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 arrogant 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 see that child Ruoqing is also thinking about you. Although there is Zui Mo here, you can't ignore her all the time. I see Come 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 here 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 makes 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 be working 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, and it is difficult for him to achieve great wealth. 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. Now, the King of Shu has been eliminated early. She is not willing to let the old emperor know about this matter, but she will 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 King Shu."

This pavilion has become the place where the two have secret talks more and more frequently, because there is lake water everywhere and the sound of waves. Unless someone has clairvoyance and hearing, it is impossible to hear what they are saying.

He looked around and saw a light flashing in the bushes on the lakeside, which disappeared in an instant.

Li Mingzhu suddenly said, "Uncle Ning has returned to Qing'an Prefecture."

Li Yi retracted his gaze, looked at her and asked, "It's already June, they should have returned long ago, what's so strange about this?"

"It's strange because Uncle Ning has returned." Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "This time, only Uncle Ning went back, and took away the military token, which is enough to mobilize 2,000 soldiers..."

"What can 2,000 soldiers do? It's enough to raid the Cui family's ancestral home in Qing'an Prefecture, but rebellion... I'm afraid it's still a long way off."

Li Mingzhu looked at the lake for a long time before turning around, with a trace of confusion on her face: "I suspect that my father and Uncle Ning are hiding something from us and the court officials..."

"I can't see it..." Li Xuan looked at the two people with their backs to him in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the low bushes on the lakeside, and murmured helplessly.

After finally seeing Mingzhu turn around, he immediately perked up and tightened the telescope in his hand.

"I... am... pregnant... with my father... and... hiding it from... the courtiers?"

He frowned and muttered, "You're talking so fast, how can I hear clearly..."

A puzzled look appeared on his face. What on earth was Mingzhu pregnant with? She hid it from her uncle the emperor and the courtiers, and she looked so confused...

Pah!

As if he realized something, he took a breath, a look of shock appeared on his face, the telescope in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he jumped out of the bushes.

Li Yi and Li Mingzhu raised their heads and looked at Li Xuan, who was running towards them with a wreath made of branches and decorated with a few small flowers on his head. They were surprised at the same time.
