Never underestimate a woman, even more so if she has the status of a master besides a woman.
This is Li Yi's experience based on personal experience.
"Ms. Ruoqing's feelings for my husband, in fact, I already know about it." Ruyi leaned on his chest and said, "In the past few years, from Qing'an Mansion to the capital, the huge Goulan is all due to her being a woman. Taking care, I can imagine how hard it is for her, if she doesn't like her husband to the core, which woman is willing to do this for a person?"
"She doesn't want to be the queen of heaven who is admired by all people, but only wants to be Xiaoqing who follows her husband. How can the concubine not see it?"
"There are not many such women who value love and righteousness in the world, but they are all met by my husband. Why is my husband so lucky..."
"Concubine, concubine wants to bite you..."
Ruoqing's identity was no secret to Ruyi and the others, but in the mansion, she still regarded herself as "Xiaoqing" and did everything a maid should do.
After all, her other identity is really shocking.
There was a "love" bite mark on her neck in exchange for Ruyi's acknowledgment of Ruoqing. No matter how broad-minded Ruyi is, it is impossible to remain calm from beginning to end in this kind of matter.
So when she suggested that "good things come in pairs" and let Zui Mo and Ruoqing enter Li's house at the same time, he did not agree.
Let's take this matter step by step.
While eating, Miss Liu Er, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him inadvertently, and asked, "What's the matter with your neck?"
Zui Mo looked over with the same puzzled expression.
Li Yi looked at Ruyi, Ruyi's pretty face blushed, she lowered her head and bit her chopsticks, and at the same time gave him a threatening look.
Li Yi swallowed what he was about to say.
Ruyi's threats are much more effective than Miss Liu Er's threats. Before Zuimo and Ruoqing marry into Li's family in an open and honest manner, if they ignore Ruyi's threats, he will have to stay alone at night.
I would rather offend Miss Liu Er than Ruyi.
He took a mouthful of vegetables, touched the bite mark on his neck, and said casually: "Oh, you said this, I'm free and I'm fine, I just bitten."
Xiaohuan put down her chopsticks, twisted her head to see if she could bite her own neck.
Second Miss Liu also put down her chopsticks, and looked at him with her arms around her, "Bite one more and let's see."
Li Yi asked in surprise, "Here?"
Miss Liu Er nodded: "It's right here."
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Okay then."
Seeing this, Xiaohuan immediately turned her head, wanting to see how my uncle did this action that she couldn't.
Li Yi rinsed his mouth, then looked at Miss Liu Er, to be precise, at her snow-white jade neck, and asked, "Have you washed your neck yet?"
…
In the four years of Jinghe, too many things happened. The Cui family fell, the king of Shu lost power, and a large number of forces in the capital were cleansed by blood.
Some families fell, others rose.
The current situation in Kyoto and even in Jingguo has been very stable, the hearts of the people and the court have stabilized. Although Li Xuan has just succeeded to the throne, he already has a high reputation in the court, and with the help of Mingzhu, he can Easily stabilize the general trend.
Ever since they stepped here, the turmoil in Kyoto has been preliminarily settled.
After several days of continuous observation, Li Xuan finally confirmed that the matter did not seem to have much impact on Li Yi.
Not only that, the entire Li family seems to be exactly the same as before, even the maid named Xiaozhu didn't seem to feel much about her lady's departure, when she brought the wine just now, she smiled like a flower .
This made him relieved, but also a little puzzled.
Based on his understanding of Li Yi, it is impossible for him to be so calm at this time.
Li Xuan looked at him and asked suspiciously: "Did you hide Miss Ruoqing?"
Li Yi drank a cup of warm grape wine, shook his head, "No."
Li Xuan looked at the maid who was pouring wine for Li Yi on the opposite side, and suddenly said in surprise: "This maid in your family is a little strange, new here?"
He waved his hand and said, "Don't patronize your Lord Hou, I'm out of wine here, why don't you pour it soon?"
"What are you pouring..." Li Yi patted the table, glared at him, and said, "If you want to drink, pour yourself, I don't have long hands!"
Li Xuan stared at him in a daze, and then at the maid standing aside, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, he stared at Li Yi, "Are you even hiding it from me?"
Li Yi added wine for him, and said, "If other people find out, you will be the most difficult to do."
"However, is your Ruoqing really the Empress of the Holy Cult?" The dissatisfaction on Li Xuan's face disappeared instantly, and he asked a little excitedly, "Just like what she said in the letter?"
"Not bad." Li Yi nodded.
"Tell me, is there such a possibility?" Li Xuan looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Now there are two queens in the Holy Church, if we take that Taoist girl..."
He made a gesture of wiping his neck, and murmured: "Then this Holy Cult can be used by us. Didn't you say that the Holy Cult has 100,000 believers in Qi State, and when the time comes, we will cooperate with each other..."
That being said, that Taoist nun is a master at any rate, and she can run even if she can't beat her. What's more, she is in the state of Qi, surrounded by disciples, and there are many masters among them. Not so easy to deal with.
It was a little more difficult, Li Yi didn't daydream with Li Xuan, and asked, "How is Your Majesty's health?"
This year's winter is surprisingly cold. The weather has been better for a few days, and it has become gloomy again. Before the Lantern Festival, it should not get warmer again.
In the past, when the weather was good, he could occasionally enter the palace for an imperial meal, but now it has been a long time, and he has not been summoned.
Li Xuan drank the wine in his glass, shook his head, and said, "Father now spends more time in sleep than when he is awake."
The old emperor's condition recurred with the seasons, and became more serious every year. This winter was long and cold, and there was no sign of recovery. He and Li Xuanmingzhu tried their best to avoid mentioning this topic.
"What did the doctor say?"
"If you can survive this winter, it may be relieved, if..."
Li Xuan fell into silence before finishing his sentence. Li Yi looked up at the sky. The sky was gloomy, as if the entire sky was about to be suppressed, making people breathless.
"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you." A eunuch came in from the door and said respectfully, "Li Hou, Your Majesty also wants you to go with me."
