News came from Fuchangshe that the priest in the palace, Mr. Hu, had accompanied a man named Qi Linhai to Jiangnan.
Fang Yiai vaguely knew Qi Linhai's past. What worried Fang Yiai was that this person had a grudge against the seventh son of the Li family in Longxi, and it was a life-or-death feud!
This Li Qi let someone attack Qing Niang. His Fang Yiai couldn't touch him now, but he didn't mind making things easier for Li Qi's enemy. The enemy of his enemy is his friend. Fang Yiai understood this.
Since Qi Linhai went south to regain the firewood business, he naturally needed leg strength and carriages and horses. Fang Yiai readily gave orders to the already developed carriage and horse shop, making everything convenient for Qi Linhai and others.
The master had spoken, and Shen Wencan, who was in charge of the horse and carriage shop, naturally went all out to handle it.
Two days after the marriage was granted, Fang Yiai finished her day's classes and was about to leave the palace to go home, but was stopped by the young eunuch sent by Shu'er.
Before reaching Shu'er's palace gate, she saw Shu'er's small figure in the distance. From time to time she looked out at the palace gate. When she saw Fang Yiai's figure, Shu'er ignored the lectures of the palace people behind her and lifted her up.
The hem of the skirt ran towards Fang Yiai happily.
"Shu'er, be careful!" Fang Yiai stepped forward quickly to help Shu'er, lest she accidentally fall again.
"Brother, let's go. Shu'er wants to discuss something with you." Shu'er took Fang Yiai's hand and walked quickly to her dormitory.
Seeing Shu'er's serious and anxious look, Fang Yiai thought it would be safer to walk holding her in her arms.
"Mr. Fang, this is not in line with etiquette, please..." Aunt Fang, Shu'er's nurturing aunt, looked at Fang Yiai reaching out to pick up Shu'er and stepped forward to remind her.
"Even if you are unmarried, Shu'er is still my wife. What's wrong with me hugging my wife? What's more, Shu'er is still so young, what if she gets knocked down?" Fang Yiai said confidently, and hugged her directly after speaking.
Shu'er took the lead and left, ignoring the palace people who were everywhere.
Shu'er lay on Fang Yiai's shoulder, making faces at the astonished palace attendants who were lagging behind, and carried Fang Yiai happily into the main hall.
"Hmph!" Li Zhi, who was eating snacks in the main hall of Shu'er's dormitory, snorted coldly when he saw Fang Yiai and turned his face away. Apparently, he was still holding grudges against Fang Yiai for saving him that day.
Li Zhi felt that it was very humiliating for the dignified prince to be detained. More importantly, it was obviously Fang Yiai's fault that day, so why should Fang Yiai bully him?
"Xiao Jiu is here too." Fang Yiai put down Shu'er, looked at Li Zhi, and said hello.
Li Zhi didn't even look at Fang Yiai. He stood up and said to Shu'er, "Sister Seventeen, don't forget what you just said. I'm going to see my mother first."
"Xiaojiu, you are rude." Shuer accused Li Zhi when she saw that he was ignoring Fang Yiai and blocking Li Zhi's way.
"Ahem, what happened that day was my fault. I shouldn't have scared Xiaojiu in a hurry." Fang Yiai knelt down and said, "I couldn't help it because I was worried about Qing Niang that day. If it were Princess Chengyang or Shu
If something happens to my son, I believe Xiaojiu will be as worried about them as I am about Qingniang, right? So, Xiaojiu, please stop being angry with me, okay?"
"Brother, Xiao Jiu is not so stingy, right, Xiao Jiu?" Shu'er said very cooperatively.
Li Zhi tilted his head and thought for a while. Really, if something happened to the Sixteenth Sister and Seventeenth Sister who could play with him, he would definitely yell and make a fuss in a hurry and save others by himself. Li Zhi felt that Fang Yiai had that day.
It wasn't that scary anymore, and he nodded and forgave Fang Yiai.
"By the way, what were you talking about just now? Can you tell me?" Fang Yiai rubbed Li Zhi's head, while holding Shu'er and Li Zhi's hands, they left the hall and came to
He sat down at the stone table in the yard and asked curiously.
"Brother, I heard from Xiaojiu that sister Qingniang almost had an accident." Shuer said with heartbroken eyes.
"Don't worry, big brother will ask people to take good care of Qing Niang in the future and won't let anything happen to her again." Fang Yiai said firmly.
Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Fang Yiai, obviously not believing what Fang Yiai said, and privately tugged at Shuer's clothes.
"Big brother, look, Shu'er is so bored in the palace alone. Can you let Qing Niang enter the palace to accompany Shu'er? Big brother said that Qing Niang is also Shu'er's sister." Shu'er looked at it eagerly.
Fang Yiai said.
"Isn't there Princess Chengyang and Xiaojiu? If Shu'er feels bored, she can ask the emperor and empress to come to see Qing Niang at home." Fang Yiai said with a smile.
"Shu'er is also enlightened. My father said that Shu'er can also have a reading companion like the prince brother. Big brother, can you let Qingniang be Shu'er's reading companion? Sister Changle also has a sister from the Su family as a reading companion.
Sister Qinghe also has a sister from Qu Tu's family as her companion, Shu'er wants Qing Niang, okay?" Shu'er continued.
Li Zhi nodded beside him and said, "That's right, that's right."
"This?" Fang Yiai hesitated for a moment. Having more people of the same age to accompany her will undoubtedly be beneficial to Qing Niang's growth. Being with Shu'er can also enhance their sister-in-law's relationship. And if Qing Niang is around,
Shuer's violent temper can also be restrained, which may not be bad for Shuer's growth in the palace.
However, Fang Yiai doesn't know how deep the water in the palace is. He is afraid that if Qing Niang comes to the palace from time to time to read with her, some people with good intentions will bring the disputes in the palace to Qing Niang. Therefore, Fang Yiai
Yiai is a little worried.
"Don't worry, eldest brother. I will take good care of my sister Qingniang. I will let her come early and go late, and occasionally stay overnight with Shu'er, okay? Anyway, my eldest brother has to go to the palace every day to study with the prince's brother. Then he will be with Qingniang.
Get up and walk together, okay?" Shu'er said, tugging on Fang Yiai's sleeve.
Li Zhi also followed and played the drum.
"How are Shu'er's classes arranged?" Fang Yiai asked.
"I begged my father, and he agreed. I will practice martial arts with my master in the morning, and in the afternoon I will study piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and nvren." Shuer looked at Fang Yiai's expression and knew there was something going on, so she said loudly.
"Practice martial arts?" Fang Yiai looked at Shu'er strangely. As far as he knew, none of Li Shimin's daughters had practiced martial arts. His sons were only Li Chengqian and Li Ke who practiced martial arts. Li Tai only liked literature but not martial arts.
, Xiaojiu is young, and Li Shimin doesn’t like the others very much.
"That day in my father's court, the crazy woman held a hairpin and wanted to kill her elder brother. Shu'er was very scared, so Shu'er wanted to practice martial arts. When Shu'er masters her martial arts, Shu'er can protect her elder brother.
, I won’t be a hindrance to my elder brother." Shuer said seriously.
During the conversation, Fang Yiai was very heartwarming. He rubbed Shu'er's head lovingly and said softly, "Practice martial arts is very hard and tiring, and you have to persist to achieve results. Shu'er can bear it.
?”
"Of course!" Shu'er raised her head and said, "If big brother doesn't believe it, you can come and check Shu'er's homework every once in a while to see if Shu'er has made any progress. If there is no progress, Shu'er can be punished by big brother.
."
"I also want to practice martial arts with Sister Seventeen. You can also check my homework together." Li Zhi also joined in the fun and said.
Fang Yiai really hopes that Qing Niang can practice some boxing and kicking skills, even if she doesn't fight with others, just for fitness and self-protection. But after listening to Li Zhi's words, Fang Yiai, who was about to agree, hesitated for a moment, and thought
I really don't like that my sister has anything to do with this playboy Li Zhi.
"Big brother?" Shuer opened her two big eyes and looked at Fang Yiai with watery eyes.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to go back and ask my parents, and the emperor and queen must nod." Fang Yiai opened his mouth and said.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with my father and mother." Shu'er assured.
"Father, the Queen and the Queen will definitely agree." Li Zhi also nodded beside him and said.
After a while, Li Zhi, who was eager to talk to the Queen, was sent away. Fang Yiai then seriously told Shuer that Qing Niang and Xiao Jiu must not be too close to each other, and they should not be alone together.
Don't let the two of them send things privately.
"Why?" Shu'er asked with her little face raised in confusion. It was a matter of men and women. Because Shu'er was still young, her aunt hadn't mentioned it to Shu'er yet.
Fang Yiai told Shuer a bunch of things like "men and women sleep in different beds at the age of three, and sit on different seats at the age of seven" and other things about male and female defense. The intention was to remind Shuer not to let Li Zhi have the opportunity.
My sister was deceived.
"Is it inappropriate for Shuer and elder brother to do this? Does elder brother think Shuer is unruly?" Shuer said with a somewhat depressed expression.
Fang Yiai suddenly looked at Shu'er in shock, and asked Shu'er to help him put Li Zhi away. Instead, he looked at Shu'er, who was also a little girl who had not grown up.
"Of course not, eldest brother likes Shu'er like this. Moreover, the emperor gave Shu'er to eldest brother by decree, so those etiquette are of no use to us." Fang Yiai quickly explained, damn, he didn't want to go there.
When I married a wife who was full of ethics and ethics, I knew that life would be difficult just by thinking about it. They were clearly a couple, but they used ethics to restrain them and treated each other as politely as strangers.
What else is there to say?
"Really?" Shu'er's eyes lit up, she raised her head and asked for confirmation.
"Of course!" What followed was a bunch of nonsense, thrown at Shu'er, regardless of whether Shu'er could understand it or not.
Shuer really couldn't understand, so she only wrote down Fang Yiai's words. Now she only understands one sentence, that is, Fang Yiai likes her current temperament very much, and thinks it is very good, so there is no need to revise it too much. Shuer is very happy
I watched happily as Fang Yiai kept telling me some things that needed attention. I felt that it was great to have a big brother who cared about me. It would be even better if I could do this for the rest of my life.
Regarding feelings, Shu'er still doesn't understand what the meaning of marriage is.
Fang Yiai was thinking about Qing Niang's reading to Shu'er all the way, and then left the palace.
When they arrived at the Suzaku Gate, they saw Chang Sun Huan's personal servant walking back and forth anxiously. Fang Qi accompanied him and looked in from time to time. When he saw Fang Yi'ai's figure, his face was filled with joy.
