Your Majesty, don't spoil me too much, my daughter and I will discuss business with you

By chance, Ling'er overheard these words and found some reason to bring the two of them to Xin Zheku. Now the eunuchs and maids in the palace had a sense of caution and did not dare to boast about Ruozhi openly.

Gu Ranzhi didn't care about this, he just thought that Ling'er was punishing the servants, but he didn't know that this was a provocation to Ruozhi in the eyes of interested people.

At the Imperial Master's Mansion

Ruozhi looked at the people in the palace reporting the matter, her expression was just indifferent, nothing else, but she didn't care.

"That Ling'er is not a good person. I'm afraid Gu Nu will suffer a loss from her. Whatever, these are what she needs to go through, and there is no need for us to interfere."

Zhuyue whispered about this early in the morning, and Ruozhi responded hastily.

Miao Qing came over to send Mo Yu's letter, just telling Ruozhi that the child was well and asking her not to worry about it.

Zhuyue and Miao Qing looked at Ruozhi's faint expression of sadness, and did not dare to say anything more, leaving each other to read the letter.

Outdoors

"Master, how are you feeling lately?"

"What can I do? I'm so busy with all kinds of things after I come back. I sigh when I have a little free time."

"I think the master most likely wants to have children."

"How can you not think about the flesh that fell from your body?"

"I guess I can take the children back to my house when they are older."

"Don't mess around and disturb the master's plan. Now is not the time to think about such things."

Miao Qing nodded in agreement.

苑楼

Talented men and beautiful women, playing the harp and harp, singing poems, drinking and talking happily.

Li Qing was drinking wine depressedly, with only the petals lingering on the center stage and the lights brightly lit.

A fairy-like woman in white clothes, her veil half-covered, has a particularly beautiful red mark between her eyebrows, and her eyebrows are full of love.

Li Qing was in a trance as he watched the woman in white being surrounded and dancing.

After the dance, everyone clapped and applauded.

"It's so similar!" Huai Ran exclaimed while clapping his hands aside.

"Although her eyes are similar to those of the Imperial Master, the romantic mole on her left eye betrays the woman's school."

Huai Ran was talking to the side, as if he was deliberately trying to make someone hear him. Li Qing was sitting on the side closest to him, and of course he heard everything clearly.

"Shut your mouth, this kind of unworthy woman deserves to be compared with her." Li Qing said angrily.

Huairan smiled and had no intention of stopping.

"Brother Li, why are you so excited? I think since we can't get the Imperial Master, this woman can relieve Brother Li's lovesickness!"

When Li Qing heard this, he became even more angry. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he rolled up his sleeves and punched the other person. The friend next to him finally pulled him away, so that the matter did not become serious.

Huairan looked like a polka-dot cat when he went to court the next day, and Li Xiang's face was ashen. It was impossible for Ruozhi and Lian Lixi not to know about such a big commotion, and everyone was watching the joke with their own thoughts.

Before leaving for the morning court, Huai Ran seemed to have said something to Li Xiang, and was locked with Ruozhi's eyes for a long time before slowly leaving.

Inside the sedan

Ruozhi sighed. If it had been anyone else, she might not have even looked at her, but Li Qing was different. She then asked the coachman to turn the direction of the sedan.

Li Qing was lying on the bed, wearing only his inner clothes. The boys and maids outside were spinning around anxiously.

Maid: "Usually when Sister Liao is here, she can persuade the young master, but what can we do now? The master is about to go to court."

Boy: "Yes, the master will definitely blame us when he comes back."

When Ruozhi came in, she saw such a scene. The luxurious and spacious house was full of dazzling things. Clothes, ornaments, and tea sets were in pieces and scattered.

"What's wrong, my Mr. Li?" Ruozhi shouted.

The man in the back room naturally heard a familiar voice, but he only moved his body and saw a long-lost figure outside the screen.

"Hurry up and ask them to dress you up, or I'll break in." Ruozhi stood at the screen.

"Don't!" Li Qing stopped him quickly.

Ruozhi immediately looked at the maids and servants to wait on her. After a while, when the servants came out, the woman slowly entered the back room.

Li Qing was only dressed neatly, and his hair was simply tied up in a bun. According to the etiquette of Dacang men, they could only be tied up when facing their closest family members. This shows that the two have a close relationship. Ruozhi and Li Qing were the only two people left in the back room. The woman held onto the rare guqin next to her, which Ruozhi had given to Li Qing on his seventh birthday. At that time, Li Qing saw Ruozhi and Lian Lixi in front of the emperor. At the birthday party, the piano and Xiao ensemble played, and they said they must learn music theory. Ruozhi also got the chance to get this thing and gave it to Li Qing.

"You are so old, and you are still acting like a child." Ruozhi gently sat next to the man and tied up his hair.

Li Qing looks handsome, but as if to set off his persona of a playboy, he always wears bright red, purple and green colors every time he goes out. Therefore, few people take Li Qing's look seriously.

"Why are you here? Why don't you hang around your majesty? Come to my imprisoned lonely bird to see how useless I am, right?"

The woman brushed the broken hair around the man's ear: "It's so beautiful. It's a pity that people outside are not lucky. Only I can appreciate it."

At this time, Li Qing was dressed in black, no makeup, and the corners of his eyes were red, looking like a stunning beauty.

"Did you just cry?"

The man turned his head away, preventing Ruozhi's fingers from touching him. The woman's green fingers were hanging in the air, and Ruozhi smiled helplessly.

"You said I'm good-looking, but how do I compare with him?" The man turned his head away, but his eyes were full of expectation.

Ruozhi seemed to have thought of something, and seemed to let out a sigh of relief. She lay flat on the couch and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

"You and him are different, he is my lover, and you..."

The person who passed by heard this, his eyes lit up, he turned around and put his hand on the other person's chest.

"Then what am I to you?"

"You are the person I want to cherish the most."

Ruozhi trapped Li Qing's hand in the air, and the man was unable to move for a moment. Outsiders said that the Imperial Master was weak and incompetent in martial arts, but the Imperial Master's Mansion had many years of civil and military heritage, so what if she was the direct daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion? General people.

"You know martial arts?" Li Qing looked at the other party in surprise.

After so many years, he didn't notice at all, Ruozhi, Ruozhi, how many secrets do you have that I don't know about?

If Ruozhi didn't comment, Li Qing was unsteady and fell into the opponent's arms. It happened that the servant shouted loudly from outside: The master is here.

When Li Linhai came back, he wanted to question Li Qing. Who would have thought that Huai Ran would be entangled with him and then his majesty would leave him to reply. If he didn't return to the house, he would rush to his troubled son.

The boy wanted to stop Li Xiang, but he didn't expect that the old man walked into the house quickly and walked around the inner room.

He saw his son with disheveled hair getting up from a woman. Li Qing saw that it was Li Linhai and quickly blocked Ruozhi behind him.

"Dad, why are you here?"

"Oh, you unfilial son, you actually do this at home. I want to see which little girl is here today to seduce me, the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Dad, please listen to my explanation. It's not like you imagined. We..."

"I'll beat you to death for being an unfilial son." Li Linhai, wearing official clothes, rolled up his sleeves and threw away his shoes.

Ruozhi was also confused by Li Xiang's reaction. The two of them had played house together many times since they were young. Naturally, they were very close. She had forgotten that they were not the original baby. This is a big misunderstanding.

Li Linhai originally wanted to grab the woman inside, but when he saw Ruozhi's face clearly, the hand that wanted to throw away the other shoe was hanging in the air, and their eyes met.

"Li Xiang, what a coincidence!" Ruozhi sat up from the bed awkwardly.

"This, this, Imperial Master, how could it be you!"

Li Linhai was sure of what the two had, and did not listen to their explanations. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad at the moment. What he was happy about was that with the relationship between the emperor and master, he had become a lot more stable in the previous dynasty. As for being eaten to death by the Gu family, the sad thing is that this husband, Rong Hua, is uncertain whether she really likes her child, or whether she is using the excuse to eat the Li family. In the end, she only choked out a few words and left in despair.

"That's all, that's all. It's not easy for me to get involved in the affairs of your juniors. I believe that the Imperial Master is not the kind of irresponsible person, right?"

"I, didn't I get it?" Ruozhi muttered in a low voice.

Li Qing and Ruozhi were left looking at each other awkwardly.

Li Qing: "No, my father has misunderstood us. We are just good friends. He, this!"

Ruozhi patted the other party's head helplessly.

Wu Niang took off her veil and listened to her mother's story.

"I said girl, since you are in this line of work, you can't be so aloof...
