Murong Song was still in shock and anxious, on the way to send Xiaoli out of the palace, he asked her repeatedly what happened just now.
But Xiaoli's expression was gloomy, he kept his mouth shut and refused to answer him a word.
Seeing that the palace gate was approaching, the chariots and horses of the National Teacher's Mansion were waiting outside the palace gate. The tall horses were as imposing as their masters.
Murong Song felt chills on his back, gritted his teeth, and simply threatened and lured her, telling her to tell Master Guoshi later: She had a very happy time in the palace today!
Ji Xiaoli didn't have the heart to tangle with him, so he nodded in disbelief, and recited it to him as he wanted.
So when the old housekeeper of the National Teacher's Mansion reported, "My lady is out", and the Master of the National Teacher came out of the sedan chair slowly to greet him, he saw his wife's pale face and sad eyes, and she told him with tears in her eyes. : Husband, I had a great time today!
Master Guoshi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked coldly at His Highness the Sixth Prince, whose delicate face immediately turned pale.
His wife's distraught appearance, the National Teacher had no time to argue with the sixth prince, so he took her hand and said softly: "Let's go back."
The Imperial Teacher and his wife went into the sedan chair hand in hand, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince's calf softened and he almost knelt down to see him off.
**
On the way back, the sedan chair was burning with calming incense, Xiao Li lay down on the soft pillow, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep as soon as he came up.
Chen Yubai hadn't flipped through the book in his hand for a long time, and waited silently for a full cup of tea, but she still didn't take the initiative to tell him.
"Xiao Li." He put down the scroll in his hand and called her softly.
She hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her eyes: "... huh?"
"The lord of Donglin Kingdom is my old friend. He sent someone here today and gave me a strange stone. The stone is strangely hollow. If you put it close to your ear and listen carefully, you can hear the sound of the sea." Chen Yubai's voice and The expressions are very ordinary, even with a slight smile.
"Oh." Ji Xiaoli didn't care about strange stones now, so he answered absent-mindedly.
Chen Yubai closed the scroll, put it aside, and asked her with a slight smile: "What happened to you today? You would be very happy to hear about these things."
"Happy..." When Xiao Li heard that he seemed to be showing his flaws, he quickly cheered up and said happily, "Oh! I'm so happy! Hahaha!"
"... as long as you are happy." Chen Yubai paused, stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said with a smile.
Stupid, he sighed inwardly, how could he be so stupid that he can't even put on airs...
Although he also knew that this was a must, and she should know some things, but seeing her like this now, he still felt uncomfortable.
Master Guoshi felt uncomfortable, so he naturally wanted to find ways to make others feel even more uncomfortable.
That stone is indeed precious, and it is time to return a gift to the ruler of Donglin Kingdom—Donglin Kingdom is rich and powerful, and establishing diplomatic relations with Daye has advantages and disadvantages, and for such a major event, it is natural that the most noble prince of Daye Kingdom should be sent to negotiate peace Only in this way can we show Daye's sincerity, and also give enough face to the ruler of the Eastern Kingdom.
Well, tomorrow morning, just reply to the emperor like this.

Ji Xiaoli thought that she had concealed it so well that her husband must not have even noticed it.
Then she kept smiling all night long, kept serving him food during meals, and kept talking about "happy" [Rebirth] Half of my bed is full of the latest chapter.
And Chen Yubai didn't seem to be at all abnormal, quietly listening to her incoherent words, he ate all the food she gave him.
Xiao Li was pleased and proud, and was very satisfied.
At night, when the two of them fell asleep, she was hugged by him, listening to his gradual and even breathing, she remained motionless, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She never thought: her parents are still alive!
The two people who gave birth to her have always lived in their distant hometown. At this moment, in the middle of the night, do they also miss her and sister Qin Sang as much as she does
She wanted, wanted to see them.
Before marrying Chen Yubai, this was her only wish in life.
But Chen Yubai said: Xuanwu Token is the most important thing in his life, and he guards this token with his life.
He gave her the token as a betrothal gift, and she should guard the token just like him.
Is it a betrayal to transfer the totem on it to someone else
The question was too complicated for her to understand.
When hesitating, she wanted to ask the person who was sleeping with her behind her - he would definitely give her the answer!
But you can't ask him. If you ask him, sister Qin Sang will die.
The sound of the bright and sharp knife piercing into the flesh - "噗嗤"! It's weak but terrifying!
The blood splattered on his face, it was warm at first, and after a while it was cold like tears. Sister Qin Sang knelt on the ground with her pale face and her shoulders... .
It was only then that she realized that she had fallen asleep at some point. She covered her beating heart and looked around in a panic, but when she turned her head and bumped into a pair of sober and quiet black eyes, she screamed "Ah!" .
Chen Yubai let her scream in his ear, and slowly stretched out his hand to pinch her nose.
Unable to breathe, naturally he stopped screaming, Xiao Li gasped heavily with his mouth open, and his eyes turned red instantly.
Chen Yubai frowned slightly, let go of his hand, stroked the corners of her eyes, and asked softly, "What did you dream about? You're so scared."
"No!" Ji Xiaoli immediately denied with trepidation: "I didn't dream! I didn't dream about anything! I didn't have any fear!"
"Oh." Chen Yubai agreed blandly, but didn't ask any more questions.
The cold sweat on her body had already soaked her little clothes, Chen Yubai was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable and refused to say anything, so he raised the bed curtain and called the night guard maid to come in to help her take a bath.
The maid came in with hot water, washed and changed into clean and fresh clothes. Xiao Li climbed onto the bed with a look of dismay, but he still didn't ask any questions. He stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms and patted her back Put her to sleep.
"... Have you already counted it?" In a daze, she suddenly asked without thinking.
Chen Yubai closed his eyes, and his voice was clear and calm: "What is it?"
"Hmm... Aren't you good at counting? No. 1 in the world... Can't you figure out what I'm thinking?!" Her voice was full of hope.
"You don't count yourself. I can't figure out your business."
"I'm not your 'ji'." Xiao Li retorted a little depressed.
It would be great if he could figure it out She didn't have to say a word, he knew it all.
The person who was hugging her and patting her suddenly laughed, although she didn't make a sound, but Xiao Li was lying on his chest, and she felt a slight tremor in his chest.
She was so sad and entangled, yet he could still laugh!
Hit his chest with a fist! Boom!
The small hand clenched into a fist was pulled up, and a kiss was gently printed on the raised lips.
"You are." He said in a low voice.
Xiao Li heard it, but she had forgotten which sentence she was responding to, so she remained indifferent.
In the darkness, one curled his mouth and the other frowned.
At this moment, Xiaoli's eyes kept floating past the figure of the man in the painting on the wall today. His eyebrows were exactly the same as hers. Her father was so young and so handsome... She put her hands on his chest, raised her head, and looked at him. Shiny, with a determined look, he asked him: "Husband! Do you like me more, or Xuanwu Ling?"
Some people felt light when they heard those two words, and couldn't help but want to laugh. In the darkness, the slightly curved black eyes gleamed with light, "What do you think?" He asked softly.
"I... right?" She said hesitantly.
The black eyes became more curved.
"Well, go to sleep." He finally kissed the little hand he was playing with.
Xiao Li obediently lay down, hugged him in his arms and was about to fall asleep, but felt something was wrong: "But you haven't answered me yet: Do you like me more or Xuanwu Ling?!"
"Didn't you answer it yourself just now?" The national teacher closed his eyes, and his tone was light and lazy, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Xiao Li thought about what she said just now that she liked her more—she lay down contentedly.
**
In the dead of night.
Ji Xiaoli quietly opened his eyes, and stared at the person who was sleeping with him for a while - he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
She whispered "Chen Yubai" twice, but he didn't move. Stretching out his fingers to make a gesture, the nails were almost in front of his eyelids, and he didn't even move his eyelashes.
It seems that he really fell asleep!
Xiao Li lightly slipped out of his arms, crawled over him, and got off the bed.
She walked to the table by the window and turned on the lamp slightly.
There is a rosewood treasure chest on the table, which contains many of her rare treasures - the treasures accumulated in the treasury of the National Teacher's Mansion for many years, which are taken out for her to play with.
The Xuanwu order is stored in one of the grids.
Ji Xiaoli flipped through the pages with a bang, finally found it, and carefully placed it on the table in front of him.
Then she took out the white silk that Empress Dowager Duanmi gave her from her sleeve, unfolded it and put it aside.
Since he likes her more than Xuanwu Ling, her lifelong wish should be worth the totem rubbings of Xuanwu Ling. She decided to dig it down and give it to the Empress Dowager Duanmi, and then take him back to her hometown to meet her parents!
She has figured it out and made this decision.
The only question now is - how
Ji Xiaoli thought hard.
The Empress Dowager said that she needed the totem pattern on the Xuanwu Token, then—Xiao Li arranged the Xuanwu Token and the white silk side by side, and then she dipped the pen in the ink with a serious expression, and drew a stroke on the white silk according to the totem Get up and hide love in South Garden.
The totem of the Order of the Dark Night has a profound meaning and is exquisitely complex. Even the curved arc of each section of the vine has a deep meaning and is extremely complicated.
Xiao Li glanced at it and drew a stroke, and soon he was sweating profusely.
Well, in general: it's a turtle. When she was in her natal home, Ji Xi once bought a big turtle for her to be released to pray for blessings. At that time, she played with the turtle for a long time, and even carved words on the shell, so drawing a turtle - she couldn't be troubled!
So, a few days later, in the Qianmi Palace with its doors and windows tightly closed, Empress Dowager Duanmi's purple eyes were full of tears, and her hands trembling excitedly unfolded the hard-won white silk—then, she saw a live, spirit, and life... , Now the turtle!
Even the released people and the year, month and day engraved on the tortoise board are faithfully drawn in small script.
The Empress Dowager Duanmi's lips trembled, she couldn't say a word, she gasped and almost fainted on the spot!
**
The author has something to say: The Empress Dowager Duanmi must have never heard of this saying: Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.
Empress Dowager, you insist on snatching pig teammates from your god-like opponents, why bother
