Everyone has their own fears.
Some people are afraid of snakes, some are afraid of thunder, and some are afraid of the dark.
What Li Ji was afraid of was silence.
An environment that is too quiet will evoke the fear hidden in his heart and awaken those bloody images deep in his memory.
In a quiet environment, Li Ji would unconsciously tense up, unable to fall asleep.
But he wasn't used to sleeping with other people around him.
So for the past five years, he suffered from insomnia almost every night.
Li Ji stayed up until midnight before barely falling asleep.
He woke up before dawn.
There are four big maids around King Zhao, and they are in charge of different things.
Jinxiu is responsible for taking care of King Zhao's daily life.
She led the little maids into the house and waited for King Zhao to change and wash.
It is said to be serving, but in fact it is just helping out, most of the things are done by Li Ji himself.
Although he came from an aristocratic family, he followed his father in the military camp since he was a child. For small things such as changing clothes and washing, he did it himself, and rarely did it to others.
Li Ji asked, "Where is Hua Ruren?"
Jin Xiu answered truthfully, "Ru Ren is still sleeping."
Li Ji clicked his tongue: "She is comfortable, go and wake her up, I will wait for her to have breakfast together."
"Here."
Hua Manman was sleeping soundly, but when she was woken up suddenly, Xiao Bao immediately became angry.
She raised her eyelids and muttered sullenly.
"What are you doing? Disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, how wicked!"
Siyun said helplessly: "Ruren, my lord invites you to go over, you can't sleep anymore."
Hua Manman doesn't want to get up.
But rationality told her that she could not disobey King Zhao's order.
In the end, she could only grit her teeth, enduring the pain and giving up the warm and comfortable bed, and got up from the bed with difficulty.
It's really hard to be a salted fish!
Ruyun hurriedly waited on her to dress up.
Hua Manman reminded while yawning.
"Don't use powder, don't use rouge, use a lighter color of lip balm."
Siyun hesitated and said, "Will this be too plain?"
The second young lady of her family is born with a delicate and bright type of beauty, which is very suitable for bright makeup. If she is dressed too plainly, it will appear that her complexion is not very good.
Hua Manman said, "You must be clean today, listen to me."
Siyun had no choice but to do what she said,
After putting on makeup, Hua Manman asked for a small bottle of peppermint oil.
She hid the peppermint oil in her sleeve, and walked out of the Liuli Pavilion calmly.
When Hua Manman walked into the dining room, breakfast was already on the table.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Li Ji looked at her with a half-smile.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Hua Manman sighed: "To be honest, I didn't sleep well last night."
Li Ji raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
Hua Manman looked at the other party with sad eyes, and said aggrievedly.
"It's not because of the prince.
Yesterday in the uncle's mansion, the prince misunderstood what the concubine had with Song Ding.
The concubine was so uneasy about this, and couldn't fall asleep the whole night, the concubine was really uncomfortable. "
At the end, she raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, frowning slightly, she was about to cry, she really looked extremely uncomfortable.
However, Li Ji heard her true thoughts clearly at this time—
"Emma's peppermint oil has so much stamina, it made my eyes red all at once."
Li Ji was strangely silent for a while, and then spoke in a complicated tone.
"I didn't expect that you would be so sensitive that you would suffer so much because of such a trivial matter."
