"Look at the bigger picture."
After a moment of silence, Chen Qing slowly said, "Today, His Majesty has decreed that Chen Yue will be transferred to Cangzhou. He will take up his post immediately. This is a blow to our Chen Clan. It seems like His Majesty is not happy with us."
"You are the future head of the family. I don't mind if you look at the bigger picture —" Chen Chong coldly said, "But, the Li family ruined little sister's life. Seeing her like this, don't you feel bad?"
"His Majesty's health is not well, and the position of crown prince has not been decided yet. The situation in the court is unstable, and we cannot make enemies everywhere. The Li family's matter involves many people. Prince Ning is staying in the capital as the supervising inspector and has an ambiguous relationship with the Li family. Now is not a good time to make a move," Chen Qing said in a low voice.
"Are we just going to watch our little sister suffer like this? I can't take this lying down! "Chen Chong gritted his teeth and said, then turned to leave.
Chen Qing looked into the distance and clenched his fists. After a moment, he slowly relaxed them.
"Take good care of the young miss," he ordered the servant girl at the door and left with a desolate back view.

"Oh, the Arabic numerals and the new method of counting that you taught me are gradually being implemented in the Imperial College. When the time is right, it can be implemented to the whole country. In the future, anything that requires counting will be much easier and more convenient." Her Royal Highness was always thinking for the whole world. She never forgot to talk about national affairs during meals.
"After making such a great contribution to the country, is there no small reward?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.
"What reward do you want?" MIngzhu thought for a moment and said, "How about I ask Father to make you a professor in the Imperial College and specialize in teaching mathematics?"
"Forget it. Aren't you biting the hand that feeds you …" Li Yi immediately decided not to reward him for being a teacher to a bunch of pedantic scholars.
The little girl who was scooping up the mutton from the pot looked up at Li Yi and asked, "What? That strange thing, it was you who made it?"
Li Yi thought to himself that the current emperor really did not pay much attention to the education of the princes. What did he mean by "made" it?
The little girl glared at him fiercely and said discontentedly, "So it's you. What kind of lousy number is this? I just didn't write it out. Sir even hit my hand. It's all your fault!"
"Do you still want to eat this piece of meat?" Li Yi didn't even look at her as he scooped up the last piece of mutton from the pot and asked.
"Eat!"
The little girl suddenly forgot about the slap on the hand and reached out to grab it without any regard for etiquette. This bad guy always snatched meat from her. If it was in the palace, she would definitely ask her father to beat him.
However, in the palace, she always ate with her mother. During the meal, she was not allowed to speak. Even the position where she held the chopsticks was very particular. If she made any noise while eating, she would be scolded by her mother. In comparison, she still preferred this place.
Furthermore, the food in the palace wasn't as delicious as the one here. Imperial Sister had just said that this delicious "hot pot" was made by this rascal. Based on this matter, she would forgive his rudeness.
Elder Brother Xuan said that this bad guy's cooking was very delicious. When he returned to the palace, he would ask his imperial father to send people to capture him and make him cook for him every day. He would make him fight for meat with him!
As this image appeared in her mind, the little girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Yi looked at the little princess with pity. He felt that she wasn't very favored in the palace. She was so happy to eat a piece of meat. So there were also different ranks of princesses. Poor child, she must be the lowest rank …
After a satisfying meal at the Crown Prince's residence, the little princess was escorted back by the palace guards. Li Yi strolled on the streets to digest his food while the princess walked beside him.
"Since the matter of Tian Fa couldn't be hidden, our original agreement is now invalid." Li Yi said as he walked.
"No, I didn't say anything." MIngzhu straightforwardly refused.
"You're acting shamelessly." Li Yi turned to look at her. "We originally agreed that Tian Fa was discovered by Shen Liang first. The agreement was also built on this premise. Now that the matter has been exposed, the agreement naturally doesn't hold."
"I only promised you that I wouldn't tell my imperial father about this matter." MIngzhu said lightly. "I did this and didn't violate the original agreement, so the agreement is still valid."
She wouldn't lie about this matter. Li Yi thought about it carefully. What she said seemed to be the truth. At that time, he didn't consider that the Emperor would find out through other means.
But why did he still feel so uncomfortable in his heart?
If he had known that he couldn't hide it, he wouldn't have made the agreement. This was a big loss …
"Be careful!"
As he lowered his head gloomily, he suddenly felt a strong force on his arm and his whole body was pulled to the side.
A carriage whizzed past him, raising a trail of smoke and dust. The pedestrians on the road all dodged. When the carriage passed, they couldn't help but curse.
Li Yi also wanted to curse. A few days ago in Qing 'an Prefecture, he was almost hit by a guy riding a horse on the street. When he came to the capital, he almost had an intimate contact with a carriage. Damn it, he lived for twenty years in his previous life. How lucky was he to not be hit by a car?
Even the streets of Qing 'an Prefecture didn't allow horses to ride, let alone carriages that fast. Moreover, this was the capital. Li Yi felt that it was better to not be distracted when walking in the future.
He turned to ask MIngzhu, "Are all the carriages in the capital so fast?"
"That's the envoy from the Qi Kingdom." MIngzhu said with a frown as she looked at the direction where the carriage was going.
"No wonder …" Li Yi murmured.
Regardless of ancient times or modern times, the strongest fist was the last word. In today's situation, the Qi Kingdom was the only superpower and had the strongest military force. The Jing Kingdom was still being bullied by them. It was normal for them to be a little arrogant. They had the capital to do so.
However, this was too damn arrogant. This was the capital of the Jing Kingdom, and the envoy from a foreign kingdom was even more arrogant than the nobles in the capital. It seemed that the people of the Qi Kingdom were extremely confident.
"With 'Heaven's Punishment', this time, we must make the Qi Kingdom pay the price!" MIngzhu clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
It seemed that she had been unhappy with these fellows for a long time. As a princess of a kingdom, she could only watch as foreigners swaggered around in her own land. How aggrieved must she be?
These people wouldn't be arrogant for long. In today's world, if gunpowder was used well, it was no different from a nuclear weapon. Once 'Heaven's Punishment' was used, the warhorses would be useless and the cavalry of the other party would be useless. It was said that the cavalry of the Qi Kingdom was the bravest. No one dared to resist their iron hooves. If the cavalry was useless, their combat power would be reduced by at least half. With a few clay pots thrown out, harvesting people was no more difficult than harvesting straws …
