He didn't know what the two of them were studying, but they seemed to be very engrossed. When Li Yi and Ruyi walked past them, Li Xuan didn't even notice.
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh. Li Xuan's bad habit of being more interested in men than women hadn't been changed even after they got married.
Ruyi turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "Why are you sighing, husband?"
Li Yi shook his head and sighed at the degeneration of morality in the world. Even Li Xuan couldn't avoid it. He said, "How can two men stick to each other all day long? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "
"What's there to laugh at?" Ruyi was startled. Even if there were no women in the school, it was very normal for classmates to discuss problems. It would be improper if they were really accompanied by women all day long.
She looked back and said, "Moreover, how do you know that they are two men?"
"What do you mean?"
Li Yi was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that during the time when he was not in the capital, Li Xuan actually … Impossible, there was no such magical technology in this era. He looked at Ruyi and said in surprise, "My wife, do you mean that Shen Shu … is a woman?"
Thinking about the last time he saw Shen Shu, he found that he was a little effeminate. As for whether he had an Adam's apple or not, he really didn't notice it. After all, he didn't look at him carefully. Besides, scholars in this era tended to be a little submissive. Some people didn't have an obvious Adam's apple, so he didn't have the preconceived idea that she was a man. So, Li Yi felt that what Ruyi said was very likely.
Ruyi nodded and said, "When she came to our house last time, I found that this Young Master Shen should be a woman dressed as a man."
Li Yi had previously ridiculed the TV series for not being able to see women dressed as men. Now it seemed that it was not the case in the TV series at all. Unless they were really familiar with each other to a certain extent, it was really not easy for a woman to be recognized after dressing up seriously.
Although the status of women in the Jing Kingdom had improved a little, the barrier between men and women was still the same. Even if the academy only accepted men, he would have to think of other ways to get in.
"Chen Su." A figure immediately appeared in Li Yi's mind.
This idiot can't even figure out whether it's a man or a woman, and still boast that Young Master Shen is very smart in front of me all day. Li Yi doesn't intend to expose her. It's better to let Li Xuan discover this kind of thing by himself.
The two of them found a secluded spot by the lake and sat down. The students were in class, and the academy quieted down. A gentle breeze blew across the surface of the lake, causing the ripples to ripple.
Holding hands with her, the whole world seemed to become quiet.
Quiet and tranquil.
"My husband, do you like boys or girls?" Ruyi suddenly asked.
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Girls."
Ruyi asked, "Why?"
"Girls are like wives, so they must be very obedient. But you have to be careful, and you can't let Ruyi lead them astray …"
"… My husband, please don't let Ruyi hear what you said."
Li Yi turned his head and looked around. Miss.Liu didn't follow him out today, so she shouldn't suddenly appear. Then he turned back, curled his lips and said, "So what if she hears it? Do you think I will be afraid of her?"
His eyes inadvertently looked around again, and he finally completely relaxed.
Ruyi looked at the lake and murmured, "In a few days, Ruyi will be eighteen years old."
Miss.Liu wasn't eighteen years old yet, which meant that he couldn't even defeat a child. Realizing that the Princess Royal didn't seem to be eighteen years old, Li Yi suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.
Ruyi continued, "She won't tell me some things in her heart. In a few years, she will be married, and I don't know if she has a crush on someone …"
Although Ruyi was Miss.Liu's sister in name, their mother passed away early, and the elder sister was like a mother. She was only two years older than Miss.Liu, but she played the role of an elder sister and a mother since they were young.
"We don't have to worry about these things for her. She is so good at martial arts, and she is proud and arrogant. She won't like men who are not as good as her. But above that, the only people who are better than her are those grandmasters who are older …"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "At worst, I will raise her for the rest of her life … as long as she changes her bad habit of squandering."
"Actually, I can't bear to be separated from her." Ruyi smiled and said, "When Mom and Dad were still alive, Ruyi was still very young and hadn't started practicing martial arts. She followed me all day and made a promise with me in the future …"
"Promise what?"
Li Yi's ears pricked up. He rarely heard about Miss.Liu's childhood from Ruyi. If he could find out something embarrassing about her, he would have a bargaining chip next time and wouldn't be so passive all the time.
"Nothing …" Thinking of that ridiculous thing, Ruyi smiled and shook her head.
Li Yi was a little disappointed. When did Ruyi learn to keep him in suspense? No, he had to ask Xiao Huan when he got back. But Xiao Huan was about the same age as Miss.Liu, and she was always muddle-headed. She might not be very clear, so he had to find a chance to ask Miss.Liu indirectly.
…
The servant girl drank a mouthful of soup and shook her head. She said, "I've never heard Miss and Second Miss talk about it. Xiao Huan doesn't know what kind of promise Miss and Second Miss have."
She blinked her eyes and looked at Li Yi. Puzzled, she asked, "Why don't son-in-law ask Miss?"
If Ruyi was willing to tell him, he wouldn't have to come and ask Xiao Huan.
Li Yi patted her little head and said, "Good girl, drink more soup. It's good for your body."
The servant girl nodded and rubbed her slightly bloated belly. The soup that son-in-law made was very delicious, but if she drank too much, her chest would always swell. It felt a little strange. It wasn't really uncomfortable, but that place always made people feel embarrassed to talk about it, let alone talk about it to son-in-law …
Was this what son-in-law meant by growing up?
When Li Yi walked out of the door, Miss.Liu was wiping her eyes. Li Yi felt that she treated the sword better than him. If he and the sword fell into the water at the same time, Miss.Liu would definitely choose to fish for the sword instead of him.
What kind of unspeakable promise did she and Ruyi have? This question had been on his mind since yesterday. If he didn't ask, he would feel uncomfortable. So, Li Yi decided to ask in a roundabout way.
Li Yi walked to her side and asked curiously, "What kind of promise did you and Ruyi and Ruyi have when you were young?"
"What promise?" Miss.Liu glanced at him and continued to bury her head in wiping her eyes. She only asked blandly.
Looking at her appearance, she seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter. It seemed like it wasn't important.
Li Yi shook his head. His curiosity was greatly reduced. Instead, he was puzzled as to why Ruyi would be secretive about something that wasn't important.
"It's nothing. You can continue. I'm going to cook." He didn't want Miss.Liu to know that he was prying into her privacy. He turned around and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
"Promise? That's strange. "
Miss.Liu looked up at him and murmured. When she lowered her head again, she seemed to have thought of something. Her hands suddenly stopped moving and her body stiffened.
"Promise …"
At this moment, a memory that was long ago but engraved in the depths of her mind quietly emerged.
…
Before Li Yi could step into the kitchen, a white shadow flashed in front of him. Miss.Liu instantly appeared in front of him. She looked at him with a face full of embarrassment and annoyance, "What do you know?"
"What do you mean?" Li Yi looked at her in surprise and asked in confusion.
Miss.Liu stared at his face closely. When she found that there was nothing but confusion on his face, she finally felt relieved.
It seemed that he just did it unintentionally. At this moment, he had forgotten about what just happened.
"Nothing." She waved her hand and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Li Yi stopped her in time. When she turned around, he asked curiously, "What on earth did you two promise?"
