Li Yi lightly poked the little guy's soft face, and said: "If you want to be called a mother, there is no 'little'..."
"Little... Mother..."
The two words he said were actually not clear, they were vague and could barely be distinguished. A six-month-old child, even if he is gifted or guided early, can only speak a few more words, and is unlikely to understand the meaning.
Li Yi reckoned that it might be because Xiaohuan, besides Ruyi, spends the most time with him on weekdays, listens to him a lot, and when he reluctantly speaks out, he naturally gets confused.
However, in this way, who wins, he and Ruyi
In detail, Xiaoniang is also a mother, and Ruyi is better than Xiaoniang.
When she returned home from outside, Tsundere Lolita had already arrived.
She jumped out of the yard and asked, "Sir, where did you and sister Ruyi go?"
The little guy stretched out his hand from Ruyi's arms, and said vaguely: "Little...mother..."
Li Yi thought that when he made the bet with Ruyi, Tsundere Lolita was the referee, so she still had to announce the final result.
Tsundere Loli rolled her eyes and said, "But Xiao Duan'er didn't call her 'Father' or 'Mother', neither Mr. nor Sister Ruyi won..."
Li Yi pinched her face and asked, "We didn't win, so who won?"
"If neither of them win, then of course the referee won!" Tsundere Lolita said seriously, "So, sir, you have to promise me one thing..."
"What's the matter..." As soon as Li Yi said something, he felt that something seemed wrong. There was no such thing as the referee ending the game in person, but Tsundere Lolita didn't give him a chance to change his words, and said with a smile: "What about this?" , I haven’t thought it through yet, I’ll tell you when I think it over.”
It seemed that he was afraid of Li Yi's repentance, so he ran away quickly after speaking.
Ruyi looked at him, smiled, and said, "Since the husband did not lose, then the agreement between the concubine and the husband..."
Li Yi waved his hand, and said righteously: "My lady is also a mother, so, the lady won..."
…
Walking on the street with the eldest princess in micro clothes, looking at the orderly capital, Li Yi turned around and asked, "How is your majesty these two days?"
Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "It's better than before, but most of the time, I'm still in bed."
Li Yi no longer knew how to proceed with this topic. The old emperor's health was getting worse year after year, and even Li Yi himself didn't have any confidence in his mind.
Several carriages came slowly from the front, Li Yi and she backed away a little, watched the carriages go away slowly, and murmured: "This carriage looks familiar..."
Li Mingzhu glanced back and said indifferently: "The envoy of Qi State."
Li Yi asked in surprise, "Why did the State of Qi send envoys here again?"
In his impression, since the last time the three princes of the Qi State had a quarrel in the capital, the envoys of the Qi State also returned to the country. Later, the friction between the two countries intensified. Until now, there are still occasional disputes on the border. What is the purpose of sending envoys over again
"Peace."
Looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, Li Mingzhu said: "The emperor of Qi is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he won't have many days left. The eldest prince of Qi and the third prince are fighting fiercely for the throne. The court is also divided into two factions, which are evenly matched. This time The envoys of Qi State came to Beijing to negotiate peace with us on behalf of the First Prince."
"The Eldest Prince is the Crown Prince of the Qi Kingdom. Even though the Qi Kingdom does not value the eldest son as much as other countries, the Eldest Prince has entered the East Palace after all. He is the crown prince in name. There is no shortage of support in the court, so he actually needs our help?" At such a delicate moment, the eldest prince sent someone to sue for peace. Naturally, it was not only for peace, but he also wanted to borrow some strength from Jing Guo to deal with the third prince. .
Li Mingzhu glanced at him, and said: "It is indeed the case. Although the third prince of Qi State has a good reputation, he is only the third prince. His name is not right, but the prince of Qi State disturbed the entire Qi State not long ago." It was a mess, public grievances arose, people's hearts were in turmoil, and many people in the court were disappointed with him and turned to support the third prince, which resulted in the current situation where the two are evenly matched."
"It seems... there is such a thing." Li Yi nodded and said, "What did the courtier say?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "They only revealed their intention to negotiate a peace, but have not formally raised it. Father is not in good health. They haven't been summoned in the past few days. I'm afraid they will have to wait until the next time Father goes to court. Bar."
Li Yi himself had no opinion on the peace negotiation, but from this matter, he felt the changes in Jingguo in the past two years.
I still remember that when he first arrived in Kyoto, the horse-drawn carriage driven by the envoys of the Qi State dared to run amok in the streets of the busy city of Kyoto. In just two years, he was no longer arrogant and domineering. He was more restrained than some of the rich and powerful in Kyoto many.
However, when I left Qi State, I didn't hear anything about the emperor of Qi State. Could it be that he really complied with the phrase "Yinghuo guards his heart", but what Yinghuo is guarding is not the old emperor, but the Qi State
He wasn't so free that he even worried about the affairs of the Qi Kingdom, so he didn't ask too much. Her Royal Highness was going on a tour this time in a low-clothes to see the sufferings of the people.
In the recent competitions, Ms. Liu Er was slightly better. She is usually busy with political affairs, so it is impossible for her to practice martial arts every day like Ms. Liu Er. From time to time, she would exchange two moves with herself, and perhaps she had learned something from it. The environment is fast...
Of course, in this way, the Eldest Princess loses at the same time. Although compared with before, the gap between the two has narrowed a lot, but the effect of drinking too much soup will no longer be obvious. In front of her, it was difficult for her to hold her chest up again in her life.
Li Mingzhu casually pointed to the front, and said, "The front is the Kyoto County Government, let's go in and have a look."
Li Yi nodded. He hadn't seen County Magistrate Liu for a long time, and he didn't know whether the hurdle in his heart had passed...
"You two, what grievances do you have? Don't worry, tell them one by one." Liu Dayou, the magistrate of the capital, sat in the hall, patted the gavel lightly, pointed to the two people below and said.
An old man below replied: "My lord, my daughter went to wash clothes by the river yesterday morning, but she hasn't returned yet..."
Hearing this, Liu Dayou frowned, looked at the other person, and asked, "What about you, why did you report the crime?"
The man's face was sad, and he said: "My lord, Cao Min's wife went back to her natal family three days ago to visit her relatives, but she hasn't come back yet. Early this morning, Cao Min went to ask her father-in-law's house, but they said that they had never seen her... My lord, my lord must do it for you." The grassroots are in charge!"
"Two more missing?"
Liu Dayou frowned even deeper. In a month, more than ten women in the capital had disappeared inexplicably. He was about to ask something more, when his eyes rolled away, his body shook violently, and he walked out quickly. Bowing down, he said, "I have met Her Highness the Princess, I have seen Master Li..."
…
Qin Xiang walked out of the door and said to a refined young man: "After you go back, help the old man bring a word to the Tai Tuo. After two days, the old man will come to visit his old man's house."
"Your junior must bring the words to you." Chu Ping bowed and said, "President Qin taught that this junior will definitely keep it in mind, so I will bid farewell today."
Qin Xiang nodded and said, "Qin Yu, go see Chu Ping off."
Qin Yu stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Chu, please..."
Chu Ping and him looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Brother Qin Yu, please."
Chu Ping went first, and Qin Yu followed behind, walking very slowly, because the young man in front seemed to have some troubles in his legs and feet, walking one deep and one shallow, walking very slowly...
Qin Xiang watched the two leave and shook his head slightly. The two were of the same age. One of them visited famous Confucian scholars and well-educated people in Kyoto all day long, seeking knowledge and solving doubts.
In the garden, the big man glanced outside and asked, "Who is this person? He has been coming to our house every few months..."
"The heir of Master Chu, he is thirsty for knowledge, and he is really different from those dudes." The middle-aged man looked at the direction where the young man disappeared, and said slowly.
The big man nodded and said, "He looks pretty good, but unfortunately his legs and feet are not very flexible."
The eyes of the middle-aged man were still looking in that direction, and it took a long time to look away, looked at the big man, and said: "You have been with me for two years..."
The big man scratched his head and said, "I forgot, it seems to be..."
"Two years, it's not too short..." The middle-aged man sighed, stood up, looked at him and said, "There is something important that I want to entrust to you."
Doubt appeared on the big man's face: "What is it?"
The middle-aged man beckoned, and the big man put his ears closer.
"Don't worry, fifth master, leave this kind of matter to me, no problem!" A moment later, the big man showed excitement on his face, patted his chest, and left quickly.
The middle-aged man watched his leaving back, sat down again after a long time, took a sip of tea, and murmured: "It's been two years..."
