Xiao Huan held a big box of candied plums and asked, "Young master, do you want to give some of these candied plums to Miss?"
Li Yi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it. Miss likes to eat sour food now and doesn't like sweet food. Let's talk about it later."
The little maid nodded, blinked her eyes and asked, "What about Second Miss?"
Li Yi waved a paper bag in his hand and said, "I'll send it to Second Miss. You can ask someone to put it in the freezer first."
Speaking of which, he had been back for a while, but he didn't see Miss.Liu practicing outside. She should be in her room. Li Yi carried the paper bag with the candied pastries and walked to the door of her room. The door wasn't closed, so he pushed it open gently.
He looked into the room and said, "I bought some candied plums on my way back. Do you want to …"
Miss.Liu was really in her room, sitting on a small stool. In front of her was a wooden basin with water and …
Li Yi felt very strange. Could it be that today was really a special day? Was there any ceremony or custom for women to choose to wash their underwear on this day?
Miss.Liu looked up at him, and Li Yi looked down at her and the wooden basin.
It was pink and embroidered with lotus flowers.
"If I say that I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?" Li Yi asked with a sincere face.
Miss.Liu took the pink bellyband out of the wooden basin and hung it in the room. Then she asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Yi raised his hand and gestured to the paper bag in his hand, "The candied plums of Fu Ji are very delicious. Do you want to try it?"
"Put it there." Miss.Liu said lightly. After glancing at him, she walked over and stared at his neck.
Li Yi's heart inexplicably tightened and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Miss.Liu looked up at him, "What do you think?"
"Don't tell me there's another lipstick?" Li Yi couldn't see what was on her neck. Even if there was, Fang should have reminded him just now. However, looking at her expression, he still said with some uncertainty, "I remember that I washed it many times just now. It should be nothing …"
"Don't worry, there are no lipstick marks."
Miss.Liu shook her head and reached out to help him tidy up his collar. Then she looked up and asked, "Why are you washing your neck for no reason?"
Li Yi looked around and murmured, "Even if it's for no reason, I still have to pay attention to my hygiene. There's no law in the Jing Kingdom that forbids washing one's neck for no reason … Oh, by the way, your lip gloss looks good today. Where can I buy it … Hey, ears, don't twist your ears …"
…
Fu Ji had become Xu Fu Ji. This process was not complicated at all. For the current Li family, anything that could be solved with money would not be complicated at all.
Li Yi sat in the yard eating the free candied plums. His ears were still aching, but he always felt that Miss.Liu had become much gentler recently. Although he was influenced by the company he kept with Ruyi for a long time, it was normal for the female Tyrannosaurus to become a little sheep. However, the effects of the influence of the past ten years were not reflected in just a few months.
Compared to drawing out her sword at the slightest disagreement, twisting ears was already considered very gentle.
As for the sudden gentleness of Miss.Liu, he actually felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Then, he felt that it was a little cheap. Could it be that he had subconscious tendencies of being a masochist?
Then, he felt that he was thinking too much. After all, he didn't always provoke her for no reason. Looking at Miss.Liu who was practicing swordsmanship at the side, he considered a certain question for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Ruyi, do you think that sky blue suits you better than pink?"
Li Yi rubbed his ears again. It turned out that Miss.Liu might not like sky blue. Although Li Yi felt that the new sky blue dress from Clothing Shop was good, it had been more than a month since he gave it to her, and he had never seen her wear it.
…
"The four female doctors are all carefully selected, and they are also the most outstanding among all the female doctors. They have a clean background, and each of them has the experience of delivering more than a hundred babies, so there won't be any problem in dealing with emergencies," MIngzhu said, then looked at him and said, "If you have any other requests, just tell me."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "You know Ruyi. Her body isn't weak, so there shouldn't be any problems. Instead, you should pay more attention to Shizifei."
Ruyi and Shizifei's birth date was very close, so it was still unknown who gave birth.
Li Xuan wasn't too worried. He said, "The Imperial Physician and Great Master Tan Yin have been invited to the palace by Her Ladyship. They take Qin 'er's pulse several times a day, so there shouldn't be any problems …"
Finishing, he looked at MIngzhu and asked, "You … don't you feel the slightest discomfort in your heart?"
"Why would I feel discomfort?" MIngzhu looked at him and asked in confusion.
Li Xuan opened his mouth, then waved his hand after a moment. He said, "Forget it, I spoke too much …"
Li Yi tilted his head and looked at MIngzhu. He asked, "How are the matters in court recently?"
Ruyi was doing well and there was nothing for him to worry about. Although there was still some time before she was due to give birth, the family had already made all the necessary preparations. Even the confinement room had been built and all the necessary facilities were available. In the dead of winter, the temperature outside would probably only be slightly above zero degrees. There was a hot water circulation pipe in the room that had been tested many times and was able to control the room temperature at a suitable temperature.
Of course, after Li Xuan had seen all the facilities in the house once, he had copied them all.
MIngzhu nodded and said, "In two months, it will be the New Year's Day. The court has been peaceful and there hasn't been anything else."
There wasn't anything else to this. Only the two of them understood the deeper meaning behind it.
Li Yi was a little confused. Although he had only revealed a sentence to Ceng Shichun last time, he had already made his meaning very clear.
At this point, there was indeed no need to hide some things.
Although this would lead to a greater counterattack from King of Shu's faction, their counterattack had never been small. However, he didn't care. Only when they made a move could he think of countermeasures and eliminate the remaining forces of King of Shu's faction bit by bit.
However, it had been nearly two months since he last saw Ceng Shichun, and there was no movement from the King of Shu at all.
This didn't make sense.
Was it because the King of Shu was waiting for his skills to cool down and make a big wave of trouble, or because Ceng Shichun didn't tell them about it at all? The latter was unlikely. After all, the Zeng family had been tied to the King of Shu for so many years. If the King of Shu succeeded, he would be a subordinate of the emperor and have a bright future. He wouldn't betray the King at this time, would he?
Whether Ceng Shichun had told him or not, there was no way to confirm.
Two months ago, he had been sent by the Princess to another province on a business trip as punishment for slacking off and leaving work early. Recently, he had almost run through the provinces adjacent to Jingdou, and it would probably be a few days before he returned …
The end of autumn and the beginning of winter in the third year of Jing He couldn't be more normal.
These days, the country was stable, the foreign enemies were temporarily resting, and there was no turmoil in the court. Especially since the Princess Royal Highness took charge of the government, the people lived in peace and praised the many decrees of the court. As a result, everyone almost forgot that during this period of time, standing at the top of the country was a woman …
This peace and tranquility lasted until the 15th of November.
Because the night before, the first snow fell in the capital. When many people opened their doors in the morning, they found that there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of them.
And also because the night before, in the Marquis' Mansion of Chang 'an County, the young master of the Li family was born.
