"Haha, what Crown Prince …"
Li Xuan was drunk. With his alcohol tolerance, no matter how low the alcohol content was, he would still get drunk if he drank too much. He hooked his arm around Li Yi's shoulder and mumbled, "To be honest, I'm still envious of you. You don't have anyone to discipline you and you can do whatever you want … Why don't we switch?"
"Swap your sister …" Li Yi pushed him to the side. Everyone had their own difficulties. With the identity of the royal family, at least they would not be bullied by others. How could they be like a commoner like him? Senior Han, Squire Zhao, and whatnot, who would want to step on them for no reason? What was the point of living a good life?
When he turned his head, he saw MIngzhu looking at him with a frown.
He just said it casually and didn't realize that the protagonist was sitting beside him. In order to cover up the awkwardness, he raised the wine glass in front of him and gestured to her. "We're leaving tomorrow. This glass of wine is for you!"
He raised his head and drank it in one gulp. His mouth was full of spiciness without a hint of sweetness. After he swallowed it, he felt like a ball of fire was burning in his stomach — this taste was definitely not grape wine.
"You took the wrong glass." MIngzhu looked at him and said coldly.
Li Yi held onto the table and felt the whole world shake a little. One princess turned into two.
Knowing that his alcohol tolerance was poor and that he wouldn't be able to drink this thing in two lifetimes, Li Yi never drank the strong alcohol that he brewed himself.
When his head was dizzy, Li Xuan came over again and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, that girl from the Wang family is as beautiful as a flower. It's not an exaggeration to say that she's so beautiful that even the birds will be captivated and the flowers will be shameful. She's not any worse than your wife …"
"The Wang Family has a good background. The Wang Family is one of the top five aristocratic families in the Jing Kingdom. They only have one precious daughter. If you marry her, you will get unimaginable benefits … Why? Do you want to consider it?"
Li Xuan was trying to persuade Li Yi to swap identities with him. He didn't want wealth or glory, nor did he want the beautiful Crown Princess. He was already sick of being controlled by others. What was worse was that even his favorite research had been banned by his father. The person he envied the most was Li Yi. If he could live his life, he wouldn't hesitate to give up his current position.
Although Li Yi was a little dizzy, he was still conscious. He looked at Li Xuan with pity.
This child must have been suppressed recently. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such unrealistic thoughts.
"Drink some water to sober up." MIngzhu handed him a bowl of water.
"Thank you." Li Yi replied. He was a little dizzy after drinking one cup. He had to find a way to increase his alcohol tolerance in the future. He picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
His stomach felt like it was on fire again. Li Yi's face twisted. He pointed at her. His tears were almost choked by the big mouthful of strong alcohol.
"How much more ability do you have?" MIngzhu looked at him. The light in her beautiful eyes was unfathomable.
Li Xuan had already fallen under the table. His eyes were closed, and his mouth was still mumbling non-stop.
Li Yi couldn't hear what MIngzhu was saying. His head was dizzy. If he didn't have enough alcohol tolerance, it was better not to touch the strong alcohol produced at home. He stood up and walked to his room unsteadily.
The things in the room were almost moved out. There was a quilt left on the bed. It would be cold at night if he only covered himself with a quilt. At this time, he couldn't care so much. He fell on the bed and slept. He didn't want to worry about the situation outside anymore.
After a long time, he was carried up from the bed in a daze. He smelled the familiar fragrance on Ruyi's body. He didn't want to open his eyes. He heard her whisper, "Husband, it's cold here. I'll sleep when I go home." Then his body became light …
…
…
When he woke up the next day, he saw that the bamboo pipe was connected to the outside through the window. He rubbed his head and sat on the bed in a daze.
There was no such thing in Ruyi House. He remembered that after he fell on the bed yesterday, it was now when he woke up. When did he get home?
After a while, he thought of something.
It seemed … Ruyi had been there yesterday. So, he was carried back by her?
After figuring out the reason, Li Yi felt a little embarrassed. Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by men? It was the opposite in his home.
The women in the family couldn't be too domineering. Otherwise, it would affect the harmony of the family.
When he was thinking about this, Ruyi had already fetched hot water and walked in. Seeing him sitting on the bed, she said softly, "Husband, you're awake. Wash up first."
Seeing her like this, Li Yi threw all his thoughts to the back of his mind.
The word "domineering" should never be used to describe her. He was a little glad that Ruyi was his sister. If it were Ruyi, it would be difficult for him to live to the end of his life.
He dipped the willow branch in salt to clean his teeth. He rinsed his mouth, soaped his hands and face, rubbed them for a while, rinsed them with water, and dried them. He felt much more refreshed.
Ruyi poured the dirty water outside. Xiao Huan used to do these things. Since Li Yi was injured last time, she did these things more frequently.
When she walked to the door, she seemed to think of something and said, "By the way, Arrester Li seems to be leaving. Husband, don't you want to go out and see?"
…
…
When Li Yi walked out of the door, there were already a few carriages parked in front of the courtyard. A few armed men were tying up the goods on the carriages tightly.
Shen Liang was also in the crowd. He was much more energetic than the first time they met. The clothes on him were probably worth only a few taels of silver. The woman called Yun Niang was holding his arm with a happy look on her face.
If MIngzhu wanted to return to the capital, it was impossible for her to bring him along. This kind of person would be a pillar of the country if used well. If not, he would be a terrorist. No matter which possibility it was, he had to be firmly controlled by the country.
Losing his freedom in exchange for a lot of things. It was hard to say whether it was good or bad. Everyone's choice was different. Looking at the smile on his face, he should be very satisfied with the current situation.
A luxurious carriage was parked on the other side of the gate. A slender hand lifted the curtains of the carriage, revealing a face that made Li Yi slightly startled.
MIngzhu had always been dressed unisex. She was wearing a constable's uniform, just like a man. Li Yi did not see her as a woman from the bottom of his heart.
He had seen her in palace attire at the Ning Wang Residence. However, it was dark at night and he could not see clearly. This was the first time she appeared in front of him in the appearance of a woman.
He had to admit that regardless of gender, the appearance of those with the surname Li was not bad. Li Xuan, MIngzhu, and of course, himself …
"Why, do you also want to return to the capital with me?" Seeing that Li Yi kept staring at her, MIngzhu's face showed a rare blush as she looked at him and said.
"Have a safe journey!"
Li Yi gave her his most heartfelt blessing and entered the door in a flash.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut and the latch was also locked from the inside.
"Let's go." MIngzhu looked deeply at the closed door and said.
"Go!"
The man on the carriage shook the reins. The carriage slowly started and drove into the distance.
"Princess, are you really not going to bring that brat?" In the spacious carriage, the old woman looked at MIngzhu and asked in confusion.
After a long time, she sighed and said, "Forget it …"
The old woman nodded and did not say anything else. The carriage returned to silence.
Li Yi looked at the carriage disappearing from his sight through the gap in the door and also sighed.
If she was not a princess, the two of them could actually become good friends.
Unfortunately, there was no if …
