Young Master Liu, Master Liu Song and his servant walked out of the harem talking and laughing.
Young Master Liu spread his arms and stretched his body before walking straight towards the Ten Kings Palace.
"Master, why don't we leave the palace?"
"Before leaving the palace, let's go to the Ten Kings Palace to see if Yiyi, Feifei, Chengzhi, Yue'er and the rest of the brothers and sisters are slacking off."
"Okay."
Young Master Liu came all the way outside the Ten Kings Palace, hid his body behind the palace door, and looked into the main hall.
Seeing Liu Feifei, Liu Chengfeng, Xiao Kaitai, Li Tao and their brothers and sisters in the hall, each holding a cup of steaming tea and chatting and laughing, Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head.
"These little brats are living a pretty comfortable life."
"Hehehe, it should be that the documents from the cabinet haven't been sent over yet."
"Nine times out of ten that's the case."
"Master, shall we go in?"
"No need, just leave the palace directly.
Master, I still have a few trivial matters to deal with today, I'm afraid I'm too busy."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Liu Mingzhi tightened his cloak and waved to Liu Song.
"Let's go."
"coming."
Outside the palace gate.
When a group of Forbidden Army officers saw Young Master Liu coming out of the palace, they immediately saluted.
"We see your Majesty."
"All officers and men are exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Continue to be on duty, I will go back first."
"We send you your Majesty's greetings. Long live our Emperor."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly, waved his hand, and walked forward slowly.
After Liu Song put the baggage and documents in his hands into the carriage of the carriage, he took the horse's rein and walked straight towards Young Master Liu.
"Master, should we go back home directly, or go to other places?"
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his hands vigorously, smiled and breathed hot air into his palms.
"If you don't want to go home, let's go to the prince's old residence first."
Hearing this, Liu Song nodded slightly and reached out to lift the curtain on the carriage.
"Yes, I understand, young master, please get in the car."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hands casually, put his hands in his cuffs, and took the lead in walking towards the long street.
"I won't take the car anymore. The weather is so cold. Master, I will walk by myself to stretch my body."
Liu Song looked at his young master's retreating figure and immediately followed him holding the horse's reins.
"Okay, little one understands."
Although it had just dawned, the streets in the city were already full of people coming and going.
Rushing to the long street of the Prince's old mansion, Mr. Liu walked slowly among the crowd, his eyes scanning the shops on both sides of the street from time to time.
Suddenly, Young Master Liu stopped and fixed his gaze on a shop on the left side of the long street.
"Sifang Study."
Mr. Liu whispered softly to the four characters on the store's plaque, and walked directly towards the store.
Seeing this, Liu Song immediately led the carriage to the hitching post outside the shop.
Liu Mingzhi just stepped into the study. An old man about fifty years old, full of elegant temperament, was sitting on a chair and reading a book.
As if hearing the footsteps of Young Master Liu, the old man subconsciously looked up.
When the old man saw Young Master Liu walking into the store, he immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up happily and bowed.
"I've seen you sir, I'm so polite."
Although the old man could tell at a glance that Mr. Liu was younger than him, he still called him sir politely.
Young Master Liu smiled lightly, nodded, and returned the salute directly.
"Brother, you are polite, little brother, you are polite."
"I wonder what books sir are you looking for?"
"Brother, I plan to take a look around at will."
"I understand, I will not disturb you sir anymore, please."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, raised his head and casually looked at the antique furnishings around him, then slowly walked towards the bookshelves on the left.
Upon seeing this, the study owner smiled lightly and returned to his seat to sit down. He picked up his book again and began to read silently.
Liu Mingzhi walked lightly in front of the bookshelf, picking up a book from time to time and browsing briefly.
As long as he saw a book that interested him, Mr. Liu would talk about it.
It took about two sticks of incense.
Young Master Liu moved a large pile of books and walked towards the study manager with a faint smile.
"Brother, let me do the math for you."
The shopkeeper immediately raised his head and looked towards Young Master Liu.
However, when he saw the large pile of thick books in Young Master Liu's hand, his face couldn't help but froze.
Based on his eyesight, he estimated that the pile of books in this guest's hand must be around fifty or sixty at least.
The study owner put down the books in his hands and looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly.
"Sir, I'm going to take the liberty to say that if you buy so many books at once, you won't be able to finish them all in a short time, right?
In my opinion, sir, you might as well buy less today, and then come to my Sifang Study Studio after you finish reading."
After hearing the study owner's suggestion, Young Master Liu put a pile of books on the table with a smile.
"Brother, you don't know something. I have a lot of children in my family. After taking these books back home, each of them won't be able to share many copies."
After hearing Mr. Liu's explanation, the study owner nodded eagerly.
"I see, I'm taking the liberty."
"It's just human nature, so Brother Lao can count the money for me."
"No problem, please wait a moment, sir."
The owner of the study picked up the books and walked to the desk, picked up the books selected by Mr. Liu and started to count them.
"Sir, there are sixty-two books in total. All the books add up to a total of fifteen taels of silver.
You are my first guest today, just give me fifteen taels of silver."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly and immediately took out an ingot of silver from his sleeve and placed two broken pieces of silver on the table.
"Okay, thank you very much, brother."
"Sir, walk slowly. We will not send you far."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and returned the gift, then reached out and lifted a large pile of books on the desk.
"Brother, you're welcome. See you soon."
When Liu Song saw Young Master Liu walking out of the study carrying a thick stack of books, he quickly trotted over to greet him.
"Master, why did you buy so many books?"
"Of course it works."
"Yes, please give the book to the little one quickly."
Seeing Liu Song put a pile of books into the carriage, Young Master Liu clapped his hands casually and wandered down the long street again.
Half a day later.
Young Master Liu slowly walked to the door of the prince's old mansion, raised his hand and knocked on the heavy door.
As soon as the knock on the door came, Lao Gao's questioning voice came from behind the door.
"who?"
"Liu Mingzhi."
The door of the mansion opened in response, and Lao Gao immediately came out and saluted Mr. Liu.
"Old slave, please see your Majesty."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lao Gao, is Jie'er at home?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, your Majesty is at home."
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile, turned around and waved to Liu Song.
"Xiaosong, take down the book I just bought, young master."
"Yes, little one, I obey."
Liu Song took out a pile of books from the carriage, walked quickly to Young Master Liu and stopped.
"Master."
Young Master Liu took the book directly into his hand and walked into the mansion with a calm expression.
"Xiaosong, you should catch up with Lao Gao first. The young master will go to the inner courtyard first."
"Hey, I understand, little one."
Lao Gao watched Young Master Liu's back gradually go away, closed the door of the mansion, and gestured to Liu Song with a smile.
"Brother, brother, I just warmed a pot of old wine on the stove. Let's have a drink together?"
"Hahaha, then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders."
"Please take a seat."
"See you out, let's sit together."
Young Master Liu rushed all the way to the courtyard where Chen Jie lived. Looking at the beauty's open door, he started shouting at the top of his lungs from a distance.
"Jie'er, Jie'er, my husband is here, are you in the room?"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi's questioning voice ended, Chen Jie's response was instantly remembered in the boudoir.
"Husband, I am here!
Husband, why are you here this morning?"
Chen Jie asked softly while walking out of the room with light steps.
When she saw Young Master Liu walking towards her room with a large pile of books in his hand, her charming face was startled for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and walked out with her skirt in hand.
"Oh, husband, why did you bring so many books?"
When Liu Dashan saw the beauty, he came out and said cheerfully: "Jie'er, please don't come over here. Quickly clear the table in the main hall and put some books for your husband."
Chen Jie paused, nodded her head hurriedly a few times, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards her room.
"Okay, okay, I know, I will go and clean up now."
Liu Mingzhi followed Chen Jie into the room and put a pile of books on the table. Feeling the warm temperature in the room, he casually took off his cloak and handed it to the beautiful lady.
"Jie'er."
"Why."
Chen Jie took the cloak with a smile on her face, walked to the clothes hanger with gentle steps, and hung the cloak on the clothes hanger.
Young Master Liu threw up his hands, moved his neck and walked towards Chen Jie.
"Jie'er, have you had breakfast?"
"Husband, after I had breakfast, it has been almost two quarters of an hour.
No, the maids have just put away the dishes, husband, you came over."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and walked behind the beauty with a smile.
"So, all the maids have left?"
"Yes, they just went to the backyard to deliver dishes.
What's the matter, husband, do you have trouble with the maids?"
Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head, grabbed the beautiful lady's waist, and held her in his arms with a little force.
"Hahaha, if you don't look for them for your husband, I will look for you for my husband."
As Young Master Liu spoke, he lowered his head and kissed the beauty's delicate lips.
"Well……"
After a long time, the lips parted.
Chen Jie gasped softly and rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with a charming look.
"Silly, it's so early in the morning, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey hey hey, I miss you."
"De Xing, it's strange that I believe you."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, and directly took the beautiful lady's wrist and walked towards the bed behind the screen.
"Hey, great beauty, I have to make you believe in my husband today."
Chen Jie blushed and quickly reached out to pat Mr. Liu's arm.
"Husband, husband."
"Say it, my husband is listening."
"Silly husband, I am inconvenienced these days and cannot serve you."
Young Master Liu suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Jie with a puzzled expression.
"Ah? Why is it inconvenient? My husband remembers you, haven't you been here these days?"
Chen Jie looked at Mr. Liu with an angry expression, and gave him a white look with a rosy face.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I haven't had any rest these days."
Hearing the beauty's shy tone, Mr. Liu nodded with a wry smile, lowered his head again and kissed the beauty's red lips gently.
"Okay, then do you believe that my husband misses you?"
Chen Jie stretched out her hand to hold Liu Dashao's hands, and nodded with a smile.
"Believe it, I believe it."
"That's pretty much it."
"You're so stupid. You're dozens of years old, but you still act like a child."
Chen Jie replied to Young Master Liu with a tender voice, holding his hand and walking towards the table and chairs not far away.
"Sit down and take a rest. I'll pour you a cup of tea."
"okay."
Chen Jie picked up the pot and poured a cup of warm tea for Young Master Liu, then pulled a chair aside and sat down in a dignified manner.
"Husband, today seems to be the day of the imperial court meeting. Why are you here?"
"Hehehe, it's time to leave the court."
Chen Jie's pretty face was startled, and she subconsciously said: "Ah? The court is gone so quickly?"
"Okay Jie'er, wouldn't it be nice to leave the court so quickly?
What, Jie'er, you still want to be my husband and I'm very busy?"
When Chen Jie heard this, she immediately whispered softly: "Bah, screw you, I never thought of it this way, I'm just a little surprised."
"That's pretty much it. I thought you didn't want me to spend more time with you sisters!"
"Silly, you know how to tell me this."
Chen Jie took the pot and poured herself a cup of tea, then pursed her red lips and gestured to the pile of books on the table.
"Husband, what are these books you brought?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Chen Jie's confused look, took a sip of tea, and sighed softly.
"Oh, Jie'er."
Hearing her husband's sigh, Chen Jie, who was already a little confused, became even more confused.
"Hey, husband, what's wrong?"
"Jie'er, it's been quite a while since I last saw Ye'er.
It’s been such a long time, Jie’er, you must have missed Ye’er as well.”
When Chen Jie heard her husband's question, her charming body trembled suddenly.
"Husband, I...I..."
Seeing the beauty's embarrassed look, Liu Mingzhi pursed the tea leaves at the corner of his mouth with a complicated expression.
"Jie'er, is there anything we can't say between husband and wife?"
Chen Jie stood up in a hurry, put her tea cup on the table, and grabbed Mr. Liu's hands.
"Husband, I just don't want you to misunderstand me.
I can honestly say that I have not seen Ye'er for so long and I really miss him very much.
However, I don’t want you, my husband, to think that in my mind, the child Ye’er is more important than you, my husband.
Husband, between you and Ye'er, you and me, one is the love of my life, and the other is my child.
In this case, what should I say if you ask me to be my concubine?
On the one hand, I really miss Yeer, on the other hand, I don’t want you to misunderstand me.
Husband, I am really in a dilemma."
Liu Mingzhi put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up quickly and took Chen Jie into his arms.
"Silly lady, you really think too much. If my husband is really so narrow-minded, I won't mention this matter to you."
Chen Jie snuggled tightly into Mr. Liu's arms, her eyes red, choked and sobbing, and raised her right hand to beat him hard on the back.
"Liu Mingzhi, if heart digging can continue in this world, I really want to take out my own heart right away and show it to you.
Let you take a look at how much my heart's affection for you is true and how false it is.
However, there is really no if in this world.
Liu Mingzhi, I really love you, I love you very much!
But, I really miss my son too!
Faced with this dilemma, I really don't know what to say.
Ohh Ohh ohh……
What I say really comes from my heart!
Liu Mingzhi, what I say really comes from my heart!
I really, really want to take out my heart and show it to you."
Liu Mingzhi forcefully held Chen Jie, who was crying bitterly, into his arms, and gently patted her back with his arms.
"Silly Jie'er, I understand for my husband, I understand for my husband."
