"The first queen is also surnamed Cheng." Li Hui added again.

He traveled through time and had the same name, surname, and appearance. She traveled through time, her name is uncertain but she looks the same.

Now that the eldest son has brought this news back from the capital, you can detect it by just using your brain.

Cheng Xue frowned worriedly and said uneasily:

"How dare he write a letter for such a big deal? What if someone intercepts the letter on the way!"

"Don't worry, I will remind her when I reply to her letter, don't do it for this business first. Your identity..."

"What is my identity? My only identity is that of your wife. Those unwarranted things have nothing to do with me."

Cheng Xue's straightforward statement made Li Hui ecstatic. He stood up, pulled the person into his arms, kissed him hard, and said:

"Good wife, I knew you would think so."

"I know you're still asking, so don't use what the Yamen did on me."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, can I let you handle it?"

Li Hui just made jokes and made jokes as usual, and the matter was over.

The two of them wrote replies together in the room, and both their son and daughter had to write. This was the first time they spent the New Year away from home, and it was also the first time they spent the New Year away from their husband and wife.

The very beginning of the letter was naturally to remind Li Heng not to be impulsive in the future. The second step is to tell him that everything is fine at home and don't worry about it. Finally, I would like to remind you as usual: don’t be cold, don’t show off, take proper rest, etc.

For Li Yue, it's still a question, don't think wildly, live their world well, let everything take its course, and seek stability rather than speed.

Not long after the letter was sent away, this year’s New Year’s Eve arrived.

This year, three people were unexpectedly missing, which was really not something I was used to. However, they invited the Du family's grandparents and grandchildren to celebrate the New Year together, which was quite lively.

Du Pingren and Li Hui got up early to write couplets, while Cheng Xue, Old Man Du, Li Tian and Li Huai were cutting paper beside them.

There are many couplets written, and they are posted in Jishantang, Qingshuixing, Medicine Hall and other places.

As six firecrackers were lit, the reunion dinner in the house also began to be eaten.

Everyone was at the same table. Du Pingren and Li Huai were sitting next to Li Hui. Everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

"Tiedan Niang, I'll leave it to you on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Don't worry, Uncle Du, I will definitely make things go smoothly. This is my first time as a matchmaker."

"Don't worry, the matchmaker's gift is ready. We'll have Pingren deliver it after we're done with it." Old Man Du agreed hastily, grinning from ear to ear.

His biggest concern in this life is his precious grandson. Although it will take a few years to get married, he thinks this is best. At least the two families can get to know each other more and get to know each other more, so that they won't regret it if something happens in the future.

Du Pingren ate with a red face, not daring to say a word.

Li Huai was the languid type, so he approached him pretending to be puzzled and asked:

"Brother Pingren, what is 'Xiao Ding'? Please explain it to me."

In the academy, you have to call me "Master", but at home, you call me "Brother."

Du Pingren looked at his little brother with a smirk on his face and gave him a piece of soft and delicious elbow skin as hush money.

After eating dumplings at midnight, everyone played leaf cards together.

Old man Du couldn't bear it anymore because of his old age, so he went back to his room to rest early.

Cheng Xue and Du Pingren took Li Huai and Li Tian to play together. Li Hui watched the game and occasionally gave Cheng Xue advice, just to calculate the New Year's money for the three children.

After playing a round of cards, Li Huai protested unhappily:

"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore. I agreed not to let dad get involved. I've lost all my change."

Li Tian did not complain. He stretched out his hand towards his father and said:

"flat."

Li Hui laughed heartily, "Haha..." He took out dozens of copper coins from his pocket and placed them in the palm of his daughter's hand. Du Pingren was stunned by this operation and looked at his uncle with a puzzled expression, in disbelief.

Li Tian weighed the coins in his hand, curled his lips and said:

"Dad, Mom doesn't stop you from spending money. Why did you make yourself so poor?"

A dignified governor only has dozens of copper coins in his pocket. Who would believe it?

Li Hui was not ashamed, but proud. "Haha..." chuckled.

"You are still young. Men are bad at learning when they are rich, so if I am poorer, I will not be bad at learning."

Such nonsense, he is really her biological father.

Li Hui said it without meaning, but Du Pingren listened with intention and kept it in his heart.

After such a gag, they stopped playing leaf cards and went back to their respective houses after the game, just waiting for the New Year tomorrow.

Cheng Xue returned to her room and said with lingering fear:

"Hey, no one will knock on the door again in the middle of the night."

Thinking about today last year, it seems like it was just yesterday.

Li Hui smiled and put her in his arms, rubbed her neck hard, and said:

"Don't worry, it won't happen, unless Beiqi still wants to lose the city. I will be traveling around on the eighth day of the new year. I may have to go away for two months and come back before spring plowing. I will take Li Huai away then, and you can give it to your cousin while I'm away. I will take my daughter to stay in Wanghe Village for a while as I have the opportunity to see off my bride."

"No, I have a lot of things to do here. My daughter and I are waiting for you at home."

"That's okay, I often write letters home."

"Okay. How do you think things are going with Tangtang and Tiedan? Did they eat dumplings?"

"My daughter is so traditional, why don't you eat dumplings? If you're not sleepy, how about some entertainment to cheer you up?"

When Cheng Xue heard such meaningful words, she quickly turned her back to him.

They have been busy celebrating the New Year these past few days, and the two of them have indeed been vegetarian. But forget about doing that on New Year’s Eve and just go to sleep.

Seeing her obvious rejection, Li Hui leaned over and said:

"If you don't come, you won't come. Why are you so far away from me? Do you think Tiedan went to find Pang Yao?"

"I said you are really not sleepy! If you are not sleepy, go and copy "The Thousand Character Essay" a few times. It will also be considered as a gift for the children in the academy."

"Isn't this the first time to chat?"

Li Hui pretended to complain, but then he really became silent. But he didn't sleep either, he was still thinking about the content of Li Hengxin's article.

The man from the palace goes to the other village every Spring Festival, so he will definitely be there today. If he knew that his daughter-in-law might be related to the late empress... that's not right, then what is the original identity of his daughter-in-law?

My family? Cousins? It definitely can't be a daughter, she's not the right age.

"Ah-"

"Uncle, is he cold?"

Xiao Qinglin heard the emperor sneezing fiercely and quickly moved the charcoal brazier forward.

Besides him, there were three other princes in the pavilion. Every year after the emperor had a dinner in the palace, he would sneak out of the palace with his children, and then come to this villa.

Yan Yunchen touched the pattern on the collar, narrowed his eyes slightly and said quietly:

"It's been twenty-eight years. It's been twenty-eight years. I'm a little tired."

"If uncle is tired, go back to your room and rest. My eldest cousin will come over to help."

Yan Jing looked at the sincere Xiao Qinglin, and it was hard to imagine why his father was so proud of him. Apart from being a bit good at business, his other abilities at observing people's emotions are obviously not good enough.

Yan Yunchen was not annoyed, "Haha..." He chuckled and pulled Xiao Qinglin aside to sit down. He looked into the distance and didn't move for a long time...
