"How are you?" Zhao Zhi put down his pen and walked out.
"Girl is fine." Wuhuang followed, "I'm just a little scared."
Zhao Hao hurriedly arrived at the dormitory and saw Li Can, with a gray face and ashes on his skirt, standing helplessly in front of the half-burned kitchen.
The servants were busy putting out the fire, and the pillars under the corridor of the dormitory were blackened.
"Li Can."
He called out.
Li Can turned around and saw him, pursed her lips and took half a step back, hiding her hands behind her back. Her eyes were red, and she lowered her eyes with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry..."
The East Palace is the residence of the prince, and there has never been any talk of a fire. This time she caused a big disaster, and your majesty may not be blamed.
"Are you injured?" Zhao Zhen stepped forward, took her hand and looked up and down.
"Brother Zeyu, don't you blame me?" Li Can's tears rolled down his face.
"Where does it hurt?" Zhao Zong frowned and asked again.
Li Can shook his head: "No, I'm not injured."
Her face was gray and there were two streaks of tears running down her face, and her wet eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitiful and funny at the same time.
Zhao Ye took the handkerchief and wiped her face: "As long as everything is fine."
"But..." Li Can looked at the unrecognizable small kitchen: "Your Majesty will blame..."
"You didn't set the fire on purpose." Zhao Zhen comforted her: "Father is a reasonable person."
"Woo..." Li Can threw herself into his arms and started crying.
She was really frightened. She wanted to put out the fire, but she didn't expect the fire to burn so fast, but it got out of control in the blink of an eye.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Zhao Zhen patted her vest: "Just ask the craftsmen to restore it later."
"I...I will pay you money..." Li Can sobbed.
Zhao Zhen asked her in a low voice: "No, how did the fire start?"
Li Can raised his head, pointed to the small kitchen, and told what happened while sobbing.
It turned out that she felt that she was confident of making a snack by herself today, so she sent all the maids out and went to the stove by herself.
But after all, I have never done such a thing before. I was still in a hurry and forgot to push the firewood into the stove, and a piece of it fell out.
That piece of firewood ignited a pile of firewood at the mouth of the stove. In panic, she poured several basins of water on it, but it failed to extinguish it, and instead set the corner of her skirt on fire.
Then she shouted to Tangqiu and the others.
Tang Guan immediately pulled her out.
"Okay, the fire has been put out." Zhao Ye patted her gently: "Be more careful next time."
Li Can's eyes were red and she looked up at him: "It's a pity that I made ice chrysanthemum cake. I did a good job this time. I was going to give it to you to eat..."
"We'll do it next time." Zhao Zong let go of her: "Go take a bath first."
Li Can obediently went to the West Dormitory to take a bath.
"Your Highness, when will the craftsmen be invited?" Wu Zai asked.
"Tomorrow." Zhao Ye looked at the ruins of the small kitchen and said, "I will go to the palace later."
The water leakage in the East Palace is indeed no small matter.
If it is not handled properly, some people may use Qin Tianjian's mouth to speak nonsense.
"Where's that girl..." Wu Zao looked at the door of the west dormitory.
Naturally all the skilled craftsmen are men, so it would be inconvenient for girls to live here.
"Your Highness."
Before Zhao Ye could speak, the maid at the door came in.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zong asked.
The maid lowered her head and replied: "The eldest lady of the Marquis of Jing'an has sent someone here to talk to the girl."
"Please come in." Zhao Zong ordered.
Dan Qing, Lin's personal maid, walked in and saluted respectfully: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhi looked at her.
"The eldest lady ordered the servants to come and ask the seventh girl to go back." Danqing lowered his head and replied: "The eldest lady said that the five girls will see each other tomorrow and would like to ask the girl to go back and follow them so that they can learn more."
"Okay." Zhao Zong nodded: "I will talk to her later."
"My slave, please leave." Danqing withdrew.
Zhao Ji stood in the corridor until Li Can came out from the bath, his hair wrapped in a long scarf.
"Brother Zeyu, you haven't returned to the study yet?" Li Can was surprised: "Aren't you busy today?"
"I have something to tell you." Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand towards her.
Li Can walked up to him obediently: "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Ye raised his hand, took the long scarf wrapped around her head, wrapped her soft hair, and rubbed it dry carefully.
"Just now, your aunt sent someone here." He said.
"Is there anything going on at home?" Li Can asked curiously.
"See you tomorrow, Li Lainan." Zhao Zhen replied to her.
Li Canfeng rolled her eyes and became interested: "Auntie, are you going to take me with you?"
"Yeah." Zhao Zong nodded.
"Will Brother Zeyu give in?" Li Can asked him again.
"Yes." Zhao Zhen nodded again: "We need to find someone to repair the small kitchen. You can go back and live there for a while."
"Okay." Li Can smiled and nodded: "Then the fourth sister is getting married, will brother Ze Yu go?"
"Brother Five Emperors is getting married, why don't I go?" Zhao Zhi asked calmly.
"Yeah." Li Can smiled and nodded: "Then I'll go back later?"
"Okay." Zhao Zong agreed.
After drying Li Can's hair, he tied her hair into a bun and then watched her go.
As soon as Li Can left, he asked someone to lead the horse and went straight to the palace.
＊
At noon, when getting on the carriage, Mr. He pulled Li Lainan forward and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, seventh sister, can we take a carriage?"
"Where's the matchmaker?" Lin hesitated.
"The matchmaker said we should discuss it." He looked at her expectantly: "Anyway, the Seventh Sister's carriage is big, so I just want to come and talk to you."
"What about the second brother?" Lin asked.
Li Cheng also went together.
"Erlang will ride in the carriage by himself." Mr. He said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin agreed.
Li Can had no objection to this, and she also wanted to hear which company Li Lainan wanted to meet today.
However, looking at Li Lainan's dejected look, it seems that he is not very satisfied with this marriage.
"Mom, whose son are you looking at with Fifth Sister?" Li Can sat down next to Mrs. Lin and then looked at Mr. He with bent eyes and asked.
Mrs. He pulled Li Lainan to sit down, and when the carriage started to move, she smiled and said, "This is Sun Mingqing, the direct descendant of Sun Taichang's family. Your eldest aunt knows about her family background."
"Sun Taichang is also the second son in the family. He relies on his elder brother to support the family." Mrs. Lin said in detail towards Li Can: "Sun Taichang's elder brother is now in the second rank."
"Then should this be regarded as a match?" Li Can asked, flashing his long crow-green eyelashes.
In her heart, she actually has some considerations.
A second-rank official is not as good as his uncle, but Taichang is a full-fifth-rank official, and Li Cheng is a junior fifth-rank official.
It is said that marry high and marry low, and the Sun family is not considered to be of the highest rank. Perhaps Li Cheng and Sun Taichang knew each other well and were eager to settle Li Lainan's marriage, so they chose this family, right?
"Not bad." Lin nodded with a smile.
"That's what I like about his family. He has only one legitimate son and has no legitimate brothers or sisters." He said, "Seventh sister also knows that your fifth sister is too straightforward and has no scheming.
If there were many sisters-in-law, she would not be a match.
Although the second wife of the Sun family has several concubine children, they cannot surpass the first wife's direct children.
Now that the marriage is done, I can rest assured."
