Zhao Ye let go of her, his clear eyes showing no emotion: "Go back to the East Palace to change clothes first, then follow me into the palace."
"I won't change." Li Can reacted fiercely, a little mist appeared in his dark phoenix eyes, and the ends of his slightly raised eyes were dyed with a faint red: "I just like this dress, and I don't want to follow you into the palace.
, I will go there myself."
She said, walking around him and walking away.
"Li Can." Zhao Zong frowned, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Can you be more obedient?"
"I made it clear enough yesterday. If His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't understand, you can ask Zhou Xianru." Li Can walked out without looking back.
Zhao Ji strode forward and scooped her into his arms.
Li Can froze.
"Li Can, stop making trouble." Zhao Zong frowned tightly.
"I'm not making trouble." Li Can looked up at him with her little face raised, without struggling. Instead, she bent her eyes and smiled at him: "Your Highness, although I have never grown hairpins, I am not a child anymore.
General Zhou is about to arrive in the imperial capital. You are going to have a crown princess. If you carry me out like this, aren't you afraid that interested people will see it and spread gossip?"
Zhao Ye lowered his eyes and looked at her, pursed his lips, and continued walking out.
"Put me down." Li Can pushed his chest with her small hands.
Zhao Ye ignored her and kept walking.
"I'm obedient. I'll go with you. Let me down!" Li Can pushed him again and burst into tears.
Zhao Gao was already going to have a crown princess, so she didn't want to get close to Zhao Gao.
What's more, there are elders outside, what's it like to go out like this!
Zhao Ye leaned over and put her on the ground, his eyes were heavy, but seeing her tears, he finally raised his hand to wipe her tears.
"Don't touch me." Li Can turned away.
Zhao Ye's eyes became darker, and he raised his hand and opened the door heavily.
Wu Zao, who was guarding the door, was startled and hurriedly stepped aside, lowering his head and shrinking his neck, wishing that he could become invisible.
Li Can wiped away his tears, lowered his head and followed in small steps.
"Xin'er." Li Shi greeted Li Can.
"Aunt, eldest aunt." A slight smile appeared on Li Can's face: "Concubine Chen suddenly asked me for something, so I went to the palace first."
She concealed it very well and couldn't even tell that she had cried.
"Be careful." Mrs. Lin warned her.
Li Can nodded obediently.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Shi stepped forward and saluted Zhao Ge: "I have something to ask you."
Zhao Xie put one hand behind his back, still restored his usual upright and solemn appearance, raised his hand slightly: "Yes."
"May I ask, Your Majesty, when Your Majesty ordered His Majesty to teach my Xin'er to grow up, did it also include Xin'er's marriage?" Li Shi raised her eyes and asked.
She looked directly at Zhao Zong with only respect and no fear on her face.
In her opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed extremely noble, but no matter how noble his status is, he cannot escape the logic of doing things.
"In this case, then Duke Jingguo can tell Xin'er about marriage, right?" Li Shi continued: "Xin'er will be pregnant next year, and I think it's not too early to meet her now."
"Since my father has pointed out that Li Can is being taught in the East Palace, he will not ignore her marriage." Zhao Zong lowered his eyes and replied expressionlessly: "Even if my father doesn't care, my aunt left an autograph to pay for it, and my mother and concubine
I won’t ignore it.”
Before Li Shi could say anything else, Mrs. Lin quietly tugged on her sleeve and said with a smile: "In this way, we elders can rest assured. Xin'er, please follow Your Highness down quickly. Don't delay."
Zhao Ye nodded slightly and took Li Can away.
"Brother and sister, what are you trying to do with me?" Li Shi's face was full of pity: "That kid from the Wei family seems to be a gentle man. If this marriage is successful, my life will be easier in the future."
"Sister, don't you understand what His Highness the Crown Prince means?" Mrs. Lin held her arm and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is saying that either Your Majesty or Concubine Chen will decide on Xin'er's marriage. It is not our family's turn to decide."
"I understand, I just feel it's a pity." Li Shi sighed: "I have seen several young men, and they are all very good. I don't know what will happen after this miss..."
"There's no rush now, let's wait and see." Mrs. Lin comforted her and said, "Xin'er is only fourteen, and the brothers and sisters above haven't decided yet. There's no rush in a year and a half."
"We still have to pay attention to this matter. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so it will be delayed." Li Shi was still worried.
Mrs. Lin agreed, and the two of them left the restaurant together.

Zhao Ji stood beside the carriage in the East Palace.
Li Can walked around him, walked to his carriage, and said: "Tang Cake, please leave someone to come down and tell your aunt that I have used the carriage. Ask her to take her carriage back."
Wu Zao quickly looked at his Highness's face. Although His Highness never looked back, it was obvious that he was waiting for the girl.
But the girl walked over and ignored His Highness. Is this okay?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhi didn't say anything. He paused and got into the carriage.
Li Can also got on his carriage and ordered: "Follow me."
The carriage started to drive slowly and went to the East Palace first.
Li Can went to the West Dormitory Hall, and the maids carefully groomed her again. She tied back her double-snail bun, wore a jade corolla carved into a candied haws, and changed into a sweet white Shu brocade light skirt. She looked like the old days again.
He still looks childish.
Coming out of the west dormitory hall, Zhao Zong was already waiting in the corridor.
When she got closer, he stepped out first.
Li Can didn't say a word and followed silently.
The two of them got into the carriage separately.
Along the way, Li Can couldn't describe what she felt in her heart. It was the first time she had not ridden with Zhao Hao since she was a child, and she felt almost suffocated in her heart.
After a while, she shook her little head gently and forced herself to smile. What's so pretentious?
This is just the beginning of parting ways. When Zhao Zong has a princess, the days when they will become strangers are still to come!
When she got off the carriage at the palace gate, Zhao Zong came to lead her.
She dodged again.
Zhao Ye stubbornly grabbed her white and soft little hand and held it tightly in his palm.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, myself..."
Li Can struggled, she could leave on her own.
"What did you say yesterday?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked her.
Li Can was startled, and gave up the struggle dejectedly. She said yesterday, "If His Majesty asks, he will do as His Majesty asks." Oh, Zhao Ji didn't admit what happened yesterday in the restaurant, but now he takes advantage of her words.
Blocked her.
After all, Zhao Zhen looked at her like this because of His Majesty's will.
It's really interesting and quite funny.
The two of them walked all the way to Ninghe Palace. Concubine Chen had already sent her confidant Nafu to guard the entrance of the palace.
As soon as Nafu saw the two of them, he saluted with a smile on his face: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have met the Seventh Girl."
Zhao Jie said nothing.
"Aunt Nafu." Li Can bent his eyes and smiled.
She took the opportunity to withdraw her little hand from Zhao Zong's and returned the gesture. Her little face returned to its usual delicate and lively look, with no trace of sadness at all.
There is no need to involve anyone else in the matter between her and Zhao Ye, and she will not complain to Concubine Chen.
"I don't dare to be a slave, Your Highness, please come quickly, girl." Nafu smiled and led the way.
"My heart is here." Concubine Chen came to the corridor and reached out to hold Li Can.
"Aunt." Li Can bowed to her.
"Come on, why are you being so polite?" Concubine Chen led Li Can into the palace, looked back at Zhao Zong and said: "Ze Yu, there should be official business at your father's place, right? You go first, your heart is with me, you are busy
Come pick her up when you're done."
"Okay." Zhao Zhen responded and turned around.
"Xin'er, come and see what aunt has prepared for you?" Concubine Chen led Li Can to the table in the main hall.
"Where do you get crabs at this time of year?" Li Can looked at the huge crab on the table and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It’s still such a big crab, bigger than her face!
"There were dozens of them shipped from the south, but only three or four survived. I remembered that you like to eat, so I went to your majesty to beg for one." Concubine Chen smiled and held her shoulders: "Sit here, I will give it to you.
peel."
"No need." Li Can hurriedly stretched out his little hand to stop him: "Let Tang Cake come."
She could only bring one maid into the palace, and she still only brought candy cakes.
"What's there?" Concubine Chen pushed her hand away and took out the tools for peeling crabs: "Didn't your aunt peel them for you when you were a child?"
"But, I have grown up..." Li Can still felt sorry.
"Silly boy." Concubine Chen said with a smile: "No matter how old you are, you are still a child in the eyes of your aunt. Sit down quickly."
"Thank you, aunt." Li Can couldn't refuse, so she had to thank her.
Concubine Chen is so good, but Zhao Ji is so bad. It doesn't look like Concubine Chen's biological child at all, huh.
"Come." Concubine Chen first took out a spoonful of crab roe and fed it to her.
Li Can opened her mouth obediently, and the crab roe was rustling in her mouth. The delicate and dense fragrance made her couldn't help but squint her clear eyes, and a little smile appeared on her little face.
It turns out that eating what you like when you are in a bad mood will make you feel better!
"I heard that you saw someone today?" Concubine Chen saw her smiling and asked.
