The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 20 Eating
Li Mingxuan stood still, lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking. Li Baojia took the initiative to walk over and said: "Second brother..."

Before he said anything, Li Mingxuan raised his head and showed the same smile as before: "It's okay, let's go eat."

Li Baojia always felt strange in her heart, but everyone was watching from behind, so she couldn't say anything more and could only return to the dinner table with a little worry.

Li Wangde sat at the head of the table, ordered the food to be set, looked at the crowd and said, "Let's eat."

So everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Although this meal was nominally because Li Mingxuan came back, there was nothing wrong with him at the dinner table.

Qin Ke had a motherly heart and kept picking up vegetables and serving soup for Li Li.

"Li'er, isn't this your favorite pigeon soup? Mom will give you a bowl."

"Li'er, you said this golden stewed chicken was delicious last time. Mom will pick it up for you."

Li Li didn't answer at all and just ate like crazy. Although he was not old, he was not small in weight. He was a real little fat man. It must have a lot to do with his mother's feeding.

Until Li Wangde said: "That's enough. If he wants to eat, he can pick it up himself. What will it look like on the dinner table?"

Qin Ke may also feel that there is something wrong with him, so he turns to look at Li Mingxuan, and awkwardly puts a chopstick of fish into his bowl: "Mingxuan, eat more, too."

Li Mingxuan gave a wry smile. He had not eaten fish since he was a child because he would get some inexplicable rashes when he ate it.

Li Baojia said: "Second brother, he..."

Huang Ruer pulled her under the table, but Li Baojia finished her sentence: "Second brother, he doesn't eat fish."

The atmosphere on the table was a little awkward for a while.

Qin Ke laughed for a while and said: "Oh, look at how stupid I am, I actually forgot about this..."

Li Wangde said: "Just don't eat. Don't say anything when you eat. Eat well."

When he said the next sentence, he looked at Qin Ke.

Qin Ke was born in a small businessman's family, and the rules were not as strict as those in a large family. It was not common for everyone to eat at the same table, so Li Wangde followed her.

Today, for some reason, under the gaze of his wife Huang Ruer, Li Baojia, and Li Mingxuan, he unexpectedly felt a little embarrassed.

Huang Ruer felt contempt in her heart: As expected, she came from a small family, so unruly.

There was no sound on the table for a while, and everyone finished the meal quietly.

After a meal.

Huang Ruer wiped her mouth: "Jia'er, today you go to deliver soup to His Highness the Crown Prince. Did the Crown Prince say anything to you?"

Li Baojia was vague: "What else can I say? I didn't say anything."

Huang Ruer said suspiciously: "But I heard that His Highness Prince Tang kept you for breakfast today? Didn't you say anything after this meal?"

Li Wangde's eyes sparkled and he said happily: "The prince will let you have dinner today?"

"Hahahaha, okay, she is indeed my daughter."

Li Baojia said: "Father, mother. Because I went there without having breakfast, His Royal Highness felt sorry for me, so I went over to deliver soup without having breakfast, so I was left to have breakfast..."

Li Wangde didn't take it seriously: "Even so, His Highness the Crown Prince has treated you very differently. It seems that good things are about to happen for our family."

"Just get along well with His Highness the Crown Prince, and leave the rest to your father."

Although he has only taught the prince for three years, he has some understanding of his highness.

Although the prince was easy-going and courteous to others, he never went beyond the due limits with the ladies in his boudoir.

Not to mention entering the palace and having breakfast together.

Li Baojia was secretly worried: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really doesn't have this intention for me. Father, please don't worry about this matter anymore."

Qin Ke, who was next to him, also said: "Master, I think Baojia is right about this. There are no signs yet, so don't worry about it."

Huang Ruer immediately became anxious: "What do you mean by saying this? You just don't like my daughter, do you?"

Qin Ke sneered: "Sister, I didn't mean that, but you see Baojia herself doesn't want to..."

"Okay! Stop arguing." Li Wangde frowned.

"What does the girl's family know? Her parents ordered the matchmaker to tell her that she is my daughter. How can I harm her? I have my own conclusion on this matter."

Although he is a Tutor, the Li Mansion is not at all as prestigious as the old man's favor when he was still alive.

Mr. Li is the mentor of the current emperor. He has taught him for more than ten years. The former emperor was just an inconspicuous one among many princes.

Finally ascending to the throne, other aristocratic families can be said to be surprised and frightened, and the Li family's situation is rising.

However, he himself was not very knowledgeable, so when he became the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor, he still borrowed the help of Mr. Li. The Crown Prince was extremely talented and the eldest son of a serious family, so it was just that he had the title of Grand Tutor.

Today's princes are not the emperors they used to be. There are more than a dozen tutors just for training, not to mention riding and archery, Cuju, martial arts, and the art of war. There are dozens of them all in total.

Now Mr. Li's grace is still there, but what if the prince ascends the throne?

The former honor and favor of the Li family will no longer exist, and from now on they will be no different from the second-rate families in Beijing.

If the Li Mansion failed in his hands, how could he have the face to face his ancestors?

Therefore, his daughters must marry high, which is why he did not hesitate to marry Li Rulan to the Marquis of Guangping to fill his house.

For a concubine, she was already on a high level.

If Li Baojia can marry the prince and ascend to the throne of princess, then he will be the head of the country in the future.

The Li family still has thousands of honors and favors waiting for them.

Thinking of this, Li Wangde glanced at Li Baojia: "You are about to leave the cabinet. Stop messing around all day long and learn the etiquette of a female worker."

Otherwise, how can we bear the burden of being the mother of a country?

Li Baojia said yes, but secretly thought about his plan.

What awaits the Li family when she becomes a crown princess is not glory, wealth and favors, but even if she says this now, they won't believe it.

This matter can only be discussed in the long term.

The servants came to remove the dishes, and Li Wangde went back in a good mood. Before leaving, he rarely said to Huang Ru'er: "Get ready for tonight. I will spend the night in your courtyard."

Qin Ke said dissatisfiedly beside him: "Master..."

Li Wangde rarely ignored her, turned around and left with her.

When Huang Ruer and Li Baojia were almost gone, Qin Ke gritted his teeth and said, "This Li Baojia hasn't even become the crown princess yet, and he's doing this to me."

"If she really becomes a princess, how can I still have a place in this family?"

Xi'er next to her said, "What should we do? Otherwise..."

Qin Ke's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness: "It's not that I don't want her to marry a good family, but she must never marry someone better than my sister Lan. Baojia, please don't blame Er Niang. Mom had no choice but to do it.”

-

Li Baojia and Li Mingxuan, who had just come out, were walking in the small garden.

Many flowers in the garden are blooming vigorously, and the exotic flowers are full of vitality, which is very pleasing to the eye from a distance.

Li Baojia looked at Li Mingxuan with some worry: "Second brother, were you okay just now?"

Li Mingxuan sighed: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm used to it. You don't have to worry about me. You... Your Highness, what do you think about that matter?"
