After a long time, Li Yi combined the image of the beautiful woman in front of him with that of Shouning. He looked at her and said in disbelief, "You … Why are you dressed like this?"
She picked up her dress and slowly turned it around in front of Li Yi. She said with some pride, "Mother dressed me up. Do I look good?"
A young girl was a young girl. As soon as she opened her mouth, the mature image that she had just created in front of Li Yi immediately fell apart.
Li Yi smiled and reached out to touch her head out of habit. Seeing her current appearance, he took his hand back and nodded, "You look good."
Her big, bright eyes immediately curved into crescent moons. She lowered her head and walked forward while kicking her feet. She said, "Lady Mother said that in a few years, I will be able to get married. Now I have to learn how to dress myself up beautifully. I heard that the day a girl gets married is the day she looks the most beautiful …"
Li Yi had a little admiration for Yan Fei. She was born into a wealthy family and should have been very calm and upright, but she was not conservative at all. He didn't know how she usually educated the little girl. Sometimes the words that Shouning said were not what a little girl should say. Even he couldn't help but feel a little admiration when he heard it.
This kind of characteristic was very rare in ancient women, especially in the imperial concubines.
Li Yi didn't ask her why she dressed up like this. When girls were young, they all had the experience of stealing their mother's lipstick, wearing their mother's clothes, and wearing their mother's high heels. They all dreamed of growing up faster. Even some boys had this kind of experience …
Shouning suddenly turned to look at Li Yi and said seriously, "Sir, when you are outside, you have to think of me often …"
Li Yi nodded and said, "I promise I will think of you once a day."
"Twice!"
"Okay, then twice …"
In the cold and desolate depths of the palace, two figures, one big and one small, were walking slowly. The girl was wearing adult clothes and had her head lowered as she walked. She was brimming with the aura of a young girl. As they chatted softly, there would be some pleasant laughter mixed in …
In the Hall of Diligent Government, Li Xuan put down the memorial and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He looked down and asked, "What's the matter, Imperial Uncle?"
A few days ago, when Li Yi was conferred the title of king, they were the ones who made the most noise. They were the elders of the Li family's imperial clan, so they couldn't be ignored like they were the court officials. Thus, when he saw these people, he felt a headache.
The old man who had just walked into the hall bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we can't just let Gyeong Of Silla leave the capital!"
Li Xuan knocked on the table and said with a frown, "Why can't you let Gyeong Of Silla leave the capital? What does Gyeong Of Silla's departure have to do with you?"
"Your Majesty, don't forget that he knows the recipe for Divine Punishment!" The old man bowed again and said in a loud voice, "If, if he gives this secret recipe to the enemy country, our Jing Kingdom will be in danger!"
Li Xuan glared at him and said, "He's just going out to play. What are you talking about?"
The old man looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, don't you understand? Gyeong Of Silla has moved his entire family out of the capital. It's obvious that he won't be able to come back!"
Li Xuan was stunned, then looked at him and asked, "What did you say?"
The old man looked into his eyes and panicked for no reason. "Your Majesty …"
Li Xuan glared at him fiercely and said, "Repeat what you just said to Us again!"
A moment later, a figure hurriedly walked out of the Hall of Diligent Government and walked quickly toward the Hall of Morning Dew.
At the entrance of a palace somewhere, a girl waved at Li Yi and said, "Sir, I'll see you off tomorrow!"
Li Yi turned his head and waved at her, then bowed slightly to Concubine Yan and turned to leave.
Concubine Yan patted her head and said, "Ning 'er, go back."
She smiled and turned her head back and said, "Mother, go back first. I'll secretly see you off for a while, then go find my sister. I still need her to teach me martial arts …"
The Hall of Morning Dew.
Li Xuan looked at MIngzhu who was drinking alone and asked in disbelief, "You already knew that he wouldn't come back, didn't you?"
MIngzhu didn't look at him and didn't say anything.
Li Xuan asked loudly, "He's not going out to play. He's hiding from us, isn't that right?"
"This guy, this guy …" An angry expression appeared on his face and he said sternly, "I'll go find him!"
"Stop!" MIngzhu suddenly stood up and shouted in a low voice.
Li Xuan's footsteps stopped.
She raised her head to look at him and said slowly, "Why are you going to find him? Don't you think you've caused enough trouble? Do you want his efforts to go to waste?"
Li Xuan's expression changed, "I …"
Outside the door, a small figure stood there in a daze. Her face was pale and her body was trembling. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
She was like a helpless fledgling or a little abandoned beast. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the palace entrance with a confused and helpless gaze. There was no one there.
Her heart skipped a beat. She finally knew what she was going to lose.
She bit her lower lip to prevent her tears from falling.
She turned around and ran as fast as she could towards the palace entrance.
"Sir, sir, don't you want me anymore? Don't you want Shouning anymore …"
She finally could not hold it back. Big drops of tears rolled down from her eyes. She cried sadly and her voice was whimpering, "Sir, we've pinky hooks …. You said, you said you wouldn't leave me alone …."
The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace watched as the little princess ran past them with a heartbroken expression. They all panicked and hurriedly called for the palace guards. Even more people lifted up their clothes and chased after her.
When she ran to the palace entrance, her hair was already in a mess and she had lost one of her shoes. Her delicate bare feet stepped on the ground. It was cold and painful, but she did not care about this.
Because her husband, her husband was going to leave her ….
The palace guards had already discovered her, but no one dared to stop her. Because she was Princess Shouning, the Princess Shouning who did not need to care about any palace rules.
They did not dare to stop the princess who was crying and only cared about running. They could only send two groups of guards to follow behind her.
The leader of the guards anxiously said to his men, "Quick, quickly report to His Majesty, report to the princess!"
She ran quickly through the palace gate and came to the bustling street. Looking at the endless flow of people, she did not see the figure she wanted to see.
She clenched her fists and weakly released them. She was like a puppet that had lost its soul. She stood on the street in a daze and then slowly squatted down. Her sobs turned into loud wails.
"Sir, you don't want me anymore. You don't want Shouning anymore …."
"We've pinky hooks, we've clearly pinky hooks!"
"You broke your promise first, you liar, liar …."
…
She cried sadly and grieved. At first, they could still hear what she was saying, but later on, her voice became vague and unclear.
The passersby on the street looked at this scene in amazement.
A girl dressed in luxurious clothes, obviously of extraordinary status, squatted on the ground and wailed. She cried and said something at the same time.
Two groups of armored guards with weapons in their hands surrounded her, not allowing anyone to get close.
They did not know what had happened to the girl, but they could feel her sadness. Many of them could not bear to see her.
"The girl is crying so sadly …."
"I wonder who is so heartless …."
"What a beast …."
….
After an unknown period of time, a figure walked out from the crowd and waved his hand. The surrounding guards immediately opened up a path.
"Bad person, bad person, liar …."
The girl who was squatting on the ground suddenly felt someone pat her shoulder. She raised her head and through the blurry tears, she saw a familiar face.
Li Yi stretched out his hand and wiped the tears off her face. He gently tapped her nose and said, "If you continue to cry, you won't be pretty anymore …."
Then he carried her horizontally, passed through the row of guards, passed through the crowd, and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight ….
