Brother, did Li Zi go to your house to look for you after he returned home at night?

On a sunny day, in the imperial palace, Weiyang Palace, Murong looked at his brother who came to greet his mother and asked curiously.

No.

Mu Bai shook his head and responded.

It's strange that he hasn't come to see you even after so many days since he came back.

Murong said in confusion, even if I don't tell you the good news, I should still ask you about the situation in the Mineral Resources Department.

Most people can't guess what Brother Li is thinking. Mu Bai responded calmly.

If he doesn't go to you, you can go to him.

On the side, Queen Changsun plucked the hazelnuts in her hand and said, "Take Murong with you, otherwise, even if you go, you won't be able to ask anything."

What does mother queen mean?

Murong was surprised and asked, what is that kid planning?

Nine times out of ten.

Empress Changsun responded softly, "How could that little guy be idle? It would be better to go and find out what's going on, lest anything happen, we are unprepared."

Listen to your mother. Mu Bai nodded and responded.

It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

Murong glanced at the sky outside and said, go now.

After saying that, Murong stood up, grabbed his brother beside him, and said, let's go!

So anxious?

Mu Bai was pulled up and said, I just came.

Didn't you just come here to pay your respects to your mother? You've finished paying her respects now.

Murong said casually, "Let's go quickly. I have to be back before dark."

While speaking, Murong dragged his brother behind him out of Weiyang Palace and walked all the way out of the palace.

These two children.

Empress Changsun shook her head helplessly and continued to pluck the hazelnuts in her hand.

Li Yuan.

In the inner courtyard.

In Li Youwei's room.

Li Ziye sat in front of the brazier, writing and drawing, very busy.

Scattered everywhere on the floor and on the table are rice papers filled with ghostly symbols.

Brother, why don't you fix these things in your room?

Beside the desk, Li Youwei read the account book in her hand and put it aside. After noticing the messy things in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little headache and asked.

My room is full and there is really no room.

Li Ziye raised his head, grinned, and responded.

All right.

Li Youwei said helplessly, "You continue."

Xiao Ziye, is your practice method reliable?

Next to her, Hongzhu was lying there, holding her chin in her hands, and asked.

Did you go?

Li Ziye replied angrily, "When have I ever done anything unreliable?"

You look unreliable. Hongzhu said with disdain.

Sister Hongzhu, you can insult my talent, but you cannot insult my appearance.

Li Ziye said unhappily, I am the person responsible for the appearance of our Li family.

Bah!

Hongzhu couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, you are the face and face of our Li family, so that's enough!

Young Master!

Just as the two were bickering, a boy walked quickly in front of the inner courtyard and said respectfully, His Highness the Fourth and the Ninth Princess are here.

Please come to the inner courtyard.

Li Ziye heard the words and responded casually.

yes.

The boy accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.

Xiao Ziye, why don’t you pick it up?

Seeing this, Hongzhu was surprised and said, how could they say they are both a prince and a princess.

I'm busy.

Li Ziye said, "Sister Hongzhu, why don't you go pick her up?"

I won't go, it's so cold outside.

Hongzhu shrank her neck and said, it's so warm in the room.

Having said this, Hongzhu seemed to have thought of something. He smiled, looked at Huanzhu who had been staying obediently in the room and rarely spoke, and said, "Huanzhu, go ahead."

Um.

Huanzhu responded obediently, did not refuse, got up and walked outside.

You will bully Huanzhu. Li Ziye said with contempt.

How do you call this bullying? I am doing this to practice my ability to deal with others. Hongzhu responded with a matter-of-fact expression.

forecourt.

Mu Bai and Murong came over.

Li Garden looked empty, and the servants didn't like to walk outside in the cold weather.

I have met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Princess.

Not long after they entered the mansion, Huanzhu came forward to greet them and bowed respectfully.

Return the pearl girl?

Murong asked tentatively when he saw the strange woman in front of him.

It is no secret that the Li family has a new adopted daughter named Li Huanzhu.

The key point is that the identity of this Pearl-Returning Girl is very special. She comes from the temple in Nanling. There are many different opinions on whether she is a divine messenger or a disaster.

However, Li Huanzhu is now the honorary professor of Taixue Palace, and the Confucian leader himself acknowledged it, so no one dared to say anything more.

Folk girl, Li Huanzhu.

Huanzhu heard the question from the ninth princess in front of him and nodded.

On the side, Mu Bai glanced at the woman in front of him and lost interest.

Murong, on the other hand, was very enthusiastic. He took the hands of the four girls of the Li family in front of him and asked questions.

The three of them then walked towards the inner courtyard together.

Inner courtyard.

In front of Li Youwei's room, three people came towards them. When they were about to enter the room, Mu Bai paused in his steps and showed hesitation on his face.

You can't enter a woman's boudoir casually, but he still understands this rule.

What are you standing for? Come in.

In the room, Li Ziye glanced at the fool standing outside and said, the room is very big and can accommodate you.

After hearing this, Mu Bai walked into the room without any further hesitation.

In the room, the crackling sound of burning charcoal fire sounded from time to time, which was very warm.

His Royal Highness the Fourth, and the Ninth Princess.

Beside the table, Li Youwei stood up and saluted.

Sister Youwei, there is no need to be polite.

Murong stepped forward, helped the former, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang and I came uninvited and caused a lot of trouble. I hope Sister Youwei won't take offense."

Your Highness the Princess is too polite. Li Youwei responded softly.
