Xiao Huan secretly asked Uncle Fang what kind of place the Jadeite Courtyard was and why this young master wanted to invite her son-in-law to the Jadeite Courtyard to relax.
Could he relax by going to the Jadeite Courtyard?
After getting a vague answer from Fang, the servant girl looked at Li Xuan as if she was guarding against a thief.
Now, she already understood what a place like a brothel was for.
This young master was too evil to want to bring her son-in-law to such a place.
If not for the fact that he carried boxes of gifts into the courtyard when he came, Xiao Huan might not have chased him away, but she would not have served him tea like now.
Watching her son-in-law talk to him in the courtyard, Xiao Huan stood far away but did not leave. She was always on guard against any bad ideas he might have.
On the other hand, Fang looked at Li Xuan with a look of appreciation. The Jadeite Courtyard was a place he had always wanted to enter. He had not seen her for a long time, and he wondered how Miss Little Hong was doing …
The young maidservant stood behind the pillar, constantly on guard. Further away, Old Fang leaned against the wall of the courtyard. His usually simple and honest face had a rather complicated expression on it.
…
…
"Teaching some strange things, don't you like these?" Li Yi thought of what Li Xuan had said and looked up at him.
"Although what you said is strange, it is the truth of heaven and earth that has been verified. How can you say it is strange?" Li Xuan's face showed a gloomy expression again. He said, "They teach history, poetry, calligraphy and painting, even riding, archery, and battle formations …"
When Li Yi heard this, he also had some doubts in his heart.
History, poetry, calligraphy and painting … these were almost the necessary skills for scholars in this world, especially those young princes and princes. They would probably receive strict instruction from a young age. Although they would not be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, this was the embodiment of the education of the royal family.
The members of the royal family might have many flaws in their character, but they were rarely mediocre.
Of course, the descendants of the imperial family were different from those coquettish sluts outside. Not only the Emperor, but the entire world would keep an eye on them. They would be groomed in all aspects from a young age. They would be able to control women with their pen — — they would be able to bring peace to the world with their pen, and they would be able to control the world with their martial arts. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were well-versed in both the pen and the sword.
However, none of this seemed to have anything to do with Li Xuan.
Those sons of the Imperial House had been educated from a young age. Logically, Li Xuan should have had this experience long ago. Ning Wang wanted him to re-learn these things. Did he want him to become the top scorer?
Li Yi was a little disappointed in his heart. If Li Xuan could maintain his previous enthusiasm and go further on that road, he might really become an outstanding scientist in the future. His name would also be remembered by future generations.
However, now he was forcibly led to the wrong path and learned those useless things. A scientific genius was strangled in the cradle like this.
In the next few thousand years, people might still remember the Jing Kingdom that once existed, but there should not be many people who remembered this generation's Emperor Jing. If Ning Wang did not do anything earth-shattering in this life such as rebellion, the only people who knew about Ning Wang were those old scholars who studied the history of the Jing Kingdom. As for Ning Wang's son — — who would be so free to investigate these things?
Looking at Li Yi's regretful eyes, Li Xuan sighed. He missed the free and unfettered days before. If he could be as leisurely as Li Yi, even if he was a little injured like him, he would be willing.
"You have a lot of bad ideas. There is one more thing, you have to help me."
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Li Xuan turned to look at him, his eyes shining.
If it weren't for the fact that he was injured, Li Yi wouldn't have cared if he was a little prince or not.
Li Xuan did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he said just now. He looked at Li Yi hopefully and asked, "Father has arranged a marriage for me, but I do not want to get married yet. Is there any way to break the engagement?"
As the saying goes, it is better to tear down ten temples than to regret a marriage. There would be retribution for doing such an immoral thing.
However, this was not what Li Yi was thinking about now.
He now doubted whether Li Xuan was a man or not.
In this era, people generally got married at a young age. Fifteen was the age for marriage. If they were not married after sixteen, they would be like Ruyi and invite the official matchmaker to their home.
Of course, the official matchmaker would not dare to go to Ning Wang Fu to force a marriage even if he had ten guts. However, Li Xuan was almost twenty now. Even he was forced to leave his single life, but he, as the heir, was still a single dog. This was really not normal.
Although he kept saying "Jade Yard" all day long, Li Yi knew that he was not enlightened on the matters between men and women.
To be honest, although Li Yi had not experienced this kind of thing in his two lifetimes, he would think about it occasionally. It was just that he and Ruyi had not changed their "respectful" way of getting along, so it was naturally impossible for them to consummate the marriage like a real husband and wife.
As an old single dog, the first thing he thought of after the engagement was not to be wild with joy, but to destroy it. Li Yi began to worry about his sexual orientation.
He turned his head to look at Li Xuan and found that he was looking at him with a fiery gaze.
Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be …
No, no, this was a matter of principle. Although this guy was not bad looking and had a good family background, he had a normal sexual orientation. It was the right way to get Ruyi as soon as possible. He would not succumb to his despotic power.
"Fang, see the guest off …" He could not continue this conversation, and he could not come up with any ideas, so he hurriedly summoned Fang over.
Fang, who trotted over, did not know what had happened, but was quickly driven away by Li Xuan.
Fang now knew that this pretty boy who had a close relationship with the son-in-law had a very high background. He could not afford to provoke either of them. It was the right way to protect himself.
"Are you serious?" Li Yi looked at him again and asked.
Li Xuan nodded, and the expression on his face could not be any more real.
"Is that girl ugly?" Li Yi was very curious. To be rejected by Li Xuan so resolutely, that girl must be so ugly that even ghosts and gods would cry.
Li Xuan shook his head, "I have seen her portrait. She is as beautiful as a flower, and is a rare beauty in the world."
Li Yi was not surprised about this. Although this little prince was not very reliable, he was the only son of Prince Ning, and he would inherit the title in the future. Choosing a concubine was a very important matter, and it could not be done so carelessly. The current concubine would be the future concubine. To some extent, it represented the face of the royal family. Naturally, it was impossible to choose an ugly one.
He had seen Princess Ning, and also the Empress. Although the two were no longer youthful, from their current charm, it could be seen that they must have been great beauties when they were young. This showed that Prince Ning and the Emperor's aesthetic was normal, unlike a certain dynasty in the future where there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and none of them were good-looking …
Since he had such a beautiful fiancée, why did he break the engagement?
Returning to the original question, Li Yi looked at him and asked tentatively, "You wouldn't … like men, right?"
