Perhaps it had snowed a lot last winter, but there was no snow in the capital until the beginning of December this year.
Of course, although there was no snow, the weather was very cold. The proud Lolita and Yong Ning wrapped themselves up tightly, only revealing a pair of large, watery eyes.
"Brother!"
Yong Ning had caught a cold a few days ago and had been recuperating in the palace. Only when she recovered was she allowed to leave the palace. Just as she walked to the door, she saw Li Yi. She opened her arms and quickly ran over.
Perhaps it was because she was wearing too much, she accidentally tripped when she crossed the steps. Li Yi's figure flashed, and just as she was about to fall, he picked her up. He touched her nose and said, "Be careful …"
The proud Lolita walked over and raised her head to look at Li Yi. She said pitifully, "Sir, it's so cold. I want to drink some soup to warm myself up …"
Li Yi used his hand to cover her ears and said, "It's cold outside. Let's go in first."
The inside and outside of the house were two completely different worlds. After the two girls went in, they immediately took off their outerwear. Li Yi hung up their clothes and inadvertently glanced at the proud Lolita who had taken off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. He felt that there was no need for her to drink soup.
Li Duan, who was more than one year old, could already walk steadily. Even though he could not walk fast, he could consciously speak some simple words. The two princesses and Xiao Huan were playing cards on the bed. He just sat quietly at the side and did not cry or make a fuss.
She did not know if it was because her son was naturally obedient or because Miss.Liu was by his side.
Li Yi lifted the heavy curtain and walked out the door. He looked at the gray sky, rubbed his hands, and walked to the kitchen.
It was another year of court session. In the twelfth month, officials from various places started to enter the capital. In some remote places, the officials who had entered the capital earlier had already arrived. Of course, the ones who arrived the fastest were the nobles who had been enfeoffed outside. Ever since the weather turned cold in the eleventh month, the old Emperor's health had been deteriorating. The atmosphere in the court and palace was also as oppressive as the gray sky …
During this period of time, the princes used all sorts of means. In the eyes of outsiders, the fight for the throne would most likely end up in the hands of either Prince Qi or Prince Xin. A small portion of the officials in the imperial court had already started to show signs of taking sides.
Ever since Prince Jin succeeded the throne and the Eldest Princess' call for governance died down, no one mentioned it in the past few months. They needed to make plans for themselves and their clans.
Li Yi continued to lead a leisurely life. If there were any difficult matters in the court, the Eldest Princess would take the initiative to come over. After discussing it with him, she would have an in-depth discussion with Miss.Liu, and at the same time, she would freeload a meal. After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she would leave in satisfaction.
The matters of the Mathematics Academy had all been handed over to Li Han. He planned that after this year, he would completely hand over the position of the Headmaster to him. The Mathematics Academy was already in a good state. What was going to happen next was just a cycle that would repeat itself step by step.
The winter of Jinghe Fourth Year was not pleasant. It was dry and cold with no snow, and there were frequent chills. It was not just Yong Ning. Ruoqing had also caught a slight cold two days ago. Although she was feeling better now, she still had some symptoms of coughing. Li Yi cooked some pears with rock sugar and placed them in a thermos cup to bring over.
Pushing open the door of the courtyard, Xiao Cui and Xiao Zhu were playing shuttlecock in the yard. Li Yi asked casually, "Xiao Zhu, where is Ruoqing?"
Xiao Zhu was playing shuttlecock. In such a cold weather, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She must have been playing for a long time. She did not raise her head and said, "Miss is in the room. Li, you can go and find her yourself!"
Li Yi walked through the moon door and walked to the corridor. Ruoqing's door was closed. She should be resting. The thermos cup could keep her warm for a long time. Li Yi did not disturb her immediately. He pushed open another door, walked straight into Zui Mo's room, and put the things on the table.
Looking at the bed, he found that she was still sleeping. It was not early. Even if it was a lunch break, she should have gotten up. Li Yi walked over and said, "Get up, the sun is shining on your butt, you still sleep..."
The person on the bed was motionless.
"If you don't get up, I will go up."
Li Yi said as he walked to the bedside.
Seeing that there was still no movement from the bedside, he first rubbed his hands to warm them, then reached under the quilt, reached under her neck, and put one hand through her legs, carried her horizontally, kissed her gently on the neck, and whispered, "Get up..."
"Sister Ruoqing, are you awake? Drink some hot water."
Hearing the voice, Li Yi turned his head and saw Zui Mo walking in from outside the door. He only felt a little confused.
Two Zui Mo?
He lowered his head. He did not know when the woman in his arms had changed from Zui Mo to Ruoqing. Her back was originally facing him. When he picked her up, he only cared about kissing her and did not pay attention to her face...
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. There was still a trace of confusion in her eyes.
She looked up at Li Yi, and a smile appeared on her face. She reached out and put her hand on Li Yi's face, murmuring, "Is it another dream?"
Zui Mo stood at the door, looking straight at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I..."
Holding Ruoqing in his arms, Li Yi looked at Zui Mo and murmured, "What am I doing?"
"Come here!" Zui Mo glared at him and turned to walk outside.
Li Yi looked down at Ruoqing and said with a bitter smile, "I, I didn't do it on purpose."
At this moment, Ruoqing naturally knew that this was not a dream. Blushing slightly, she explained, "It doesn't matter. The room here is warmer. These two days, she has let me sleep here."
She looked outside and said, "I'm fine. Go and explain to her quickly."
Li Yi gently put her down and tucked her in. He took the soup bowl and scooped a bowl of soup. "This is rock sugar snow pear soup," he said, "It has a secret recipe from the Palace. Drink a little, very soon you won't be coughing anymore."
When he walked to another room, Zui Mo was already sitting in front of the bed waiting for him.
Li Yi explained, "I, I just thought Ruoqing was you."
"I know." Zui Mo looked at him and nodded. "I asked Sister Ruoqing to sleep in my room. It's not your fault."
It was good to have a reasonable other half. When there was a misunderstanding, there was no need to explain so much.
"Actually, even if it wasn't a misunderstanding, and you really wanted to hug Sister Ruoqing, I wouldn't be angry." When Li Yi walked over, she suddenly raised her head and said, "You should marry Sister Ruoqing too. I know you like her too. Anyway, marrying one is marrying, marrying two is also marrying. I'll help you persuade her. She likes you no less than me. I'll persuade her. She will definitely agree."
It was good that the other half was reasonable, but if it was too reasonable, there must be a trap!
The reason Li Yi could live well until now was that he was used to all kinds of tricks and would not fall into such a clumsy trap.
Li Yi frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You..."
Zui Mo looked at him and said seriously, "I'm not talking nonsense. She, she and you started earlier than me. She liked you earlier. I stole the person she likes. I'm sorry for her..."
Acting was a piece of cake for her and Ruoqing. Li Yi naturally would not be fooled by the surface. He shook his head and said, "Don't think too much all day..."
"I peeked at Sister Ruoqing's diary."
"I know how she feels about you."
"I know how much she likes you."
…
Speaking of the diary, memories that were almost forgotten surfaced, and Li Yi's heart began to tangle again.
Zui Mo looked up at him and asked, "You know all this too, right?"
Li Yi was silent.
Zui Mo looked at him and said slowly, "Sister Ruoqing has suffered so much. You cannot let her down."
Li Yi took a deep breath and looked at her. He said seriously, "I have never thought of letting her down, nor have I thought of letting you down."
…
"Good! You really have such thoughts. You have always been thinking about Sister Ruoqing, you... "
As soon as Li Yi's voice fell, a slender hand climbed up his ear. Zui Mo looked at him like an angry little tiger. Besides anger, her face was full of disappointment and regret...
Li Yi was stunned on the spot. Could this be a series of traps, a trap within a trap?
However, the hand that was pinching his ear did not exert any force.
Her face instantly changed from disappointment and regret to a smile. She asked, "Look, did I act well? I can even sing on stage, right?"
Li Yi's face turned from white to red and then to green. He looked at her and gritted his teeth. "Yes! Like a demon! "
He picked up the demon by the waist, threw her on the bed, and immediately pounced on her.
Then there was a series of smacking sounds.
"I'll let you act!"
"Act on stage?"
"I'll let you act again!"
…
"You are the biggest bad guy in the world..." After a moment, she leaned against Li Yi's chest and rubbed her butt with some grievance. She murmured, "You bad guy, if you let us down, I will bite you to death!"
"Hiss..." Li Yi sucked in a breath and said in pain, "You can't bite that place!"
