"Child, why did you provoke the King of Shu? The King of Shu belongs to the Li family. Do you think a mere viscount like you can provoke him?"
Madam Dowager sat on the chair and reprimanded him with a sullen face. "You are now a dignitary in the capital city. You can't be impulsive. The lives of dozens of people in the viscount's mansion are in your hands. Do you know how dangerous it is in the court today? If it weren't for His Majesty's wise judgment, who didn't favor the King of Shu and only removed you from your official position and grounded you at home for half a month, how could you be standing here now?"
Madam Dowager had always been kind, especially in front of Li Yi. She didn't even bear to say a harsh word to him. But today, she seemed to be really angry. After hearing that Li Yi had returned to the mansion, she rushed over from the Li family as soon as possible. She had been reprimanding him for almost an hour.
At first, Li Yi could admit his mistake humbly and promise that he would never do it again. But later, he really didn't know what to say and could only listen with his head lowered.
Of course, Madam Dowager was also very protective of him. After all, the King of Shu was a prince of a country. He represented the face of the royal family and had a very strong influence in the court. Normal people wouldn't provoke him. Moreover, what he had done could no longer be described as "provoking".
To be honest, it wasn't that he had nothing better to do. He just wanted to play with the King of Shu after eating and drinking …
In the situation at that time, when he heard Princess Yongning's words, he felt as if his brain was about to explode. Blood rushed to his head. Not to mention the King of Shu, even if he was the Crown Prince, the Emperor, or the Heavenly King, he would probably dare to go up and beat him first.
As for the result — at that time, how could he have the time to think about it?
"Madam Dowager, have a cup of tea." As Old Furen reprimanded Lord Jue, the maids in the residence retreated. Ruyi walked in with a cup of tea and handed it to Old Furen personally.
"The status of the King of Shu is so …" Seeing Ruyi, Madam Dowager immediately smiled and changed the topic. "Let's not talk about the King of Shu for the time being. Let's talk about you two. You've been married for so long, but Ruyi's belly hasn't moved at all. Your Second Uncle's child got married later than you did. Now Miss Zhou's belly is bulging. Do you want to find some imperial physicians to take a good look at you?"
Just a moment ago, he was being reprimanded, and the next second, he was talking about children. The old man's change of topic was too sudden, and Li Yi couldn't keep up.
Ruyi was taken aback for a moment and blushed. She handed the tea to Old Madam and hurriedly left.
Old Furen put down the teacup and looked at Li Yi. "This concerns the continuation of the family line. You must pay more attention to this matter. I will go talk to Ruyi again."
Seeing Old Furen leave the room, Li Yi sat on the chair. His legs were numb from standing for so long. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. His right index finger tapped unconsciously on the table.
"The King of Shu …"
The maids who were about to come in to clean the room saw Lord Jue's expression and thought that he was upset because Old Furen had just reprimanded him, so she carefully left.
Not long after, Ru Yi walked in from outside. Seeing Li Yi's thoughtful expression, she didn't say anything. She just walked behind him, reached out her hand, and gently massaged his shoulder.
Li Yi returned to his senses and stood up. Seeing the worry on her brows, he held her hand and said, "The matter of children cannot be rushed. Wife, you don't have to care about Old Furen's words."
Ruyi shook her head and said, "It's not because of this matter."
Li Yi sighed and said, "This time, I was indeed a little impulsive …"
Ru Yi raised her head to look at him. "Hubby is not an impulsive person. This concubine believes that hubby must have his reasons for doing so. This concubine only hopes that I can share some of the burden with hubby. Hubby knows … that this concubine is also very powerful."
Li Yi fell silent. To him, in this world, there was nothing more important than the people in that small courtyard in the Willow Leaf Stockade. He didn't want to bring in those irrelevant things from the outside world. They shouldn't have come into contact with these things.
However, he seemed to have neglected the feelings of Ruyi and the others.
Ruyi was obviously unhappy. Thinking of Miss.Liu's hidden worry and Xiao Huan's red and swollen eyes, he patted Ruyi's hand and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I made you worry … Wife, don't you want to know what I'm going to do? I'll tell you now."
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "About the King of Shu … Wife, how much do you know?"
Ruyi nodded and said, "I heard everything Old Furen said just now. The King of Shu is the eldest son of His Majesty and the prince most likely to inherit the throne. His mother is Concubine Cui, and he has the support of several rich families led by the Cui family. He also has the support of Prime Minister Qin and countless officials in the court …"
Li Yi nodded and said seriously, "Yes, the King of Shu is the most likely to sit on the throne among all the princes."
"What we need to do is to guard the Viscount Mansion and live a good life. By the way, we can pull him down from that position!"
"…"
Ru Yi raised her head abruptly and looked at Li Yi. Even she was shocked by what he said just now.
Looking at her surprised expression, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his index finger and tapped on her forehead, saying, "I'm just joking, wife, don't take it seriously …"
"Even His Majesty didn't punish me much, wife, so you don't have to worry …" Li Yi comforted her as he moved the rocking chair out to bask in the sun.
After a while, looking at the figure leisurely lying in the courtyard and teasing the little maid, Ruyi's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. She lowered her voice and said something.
"I know …"
…
…
Li Han, Monarch Jin, did not have a good time these days.
Even though his teacher was grounded by his Imperial Father and could not come to the palace, and he had not seen him for a few days, every time he thought of how crazy he looked that day, even if it was in his dreams, Monarch Jin would be startled.
Especially after he went to visit the King of Shu and thought that the reason why his teacher went crazy was because the King of Shu bullied Yong Ning, he had more nightmares at night.
He saw it very clearly that day. The King of Shu didn't even touch Yong Ning, but she ended up in such a miserable state.
Thinking about how he pulled Yong Ning's face, snatched her Bestowment of Ice, and said that she was a motherless child, the King of Shu's miserable state appeared in front of his eyes again. Monarch Jin shivered and quickened his steps to the Hall of Diligent Government.
He heard that Yong Ning was no longer stupid. She must still remember that he bullied her.
He wanted to see his Imperial Father. He could not go to mathematics class anymore. He could not see his teacher anymore.
Otherwise, when his teacher found out about those things, he would definitely be beaten to death!
