Morbid pet

Chapter 327 The End ([-])

With such a big incident happening at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Chang Le and Xie Zhao also ran into the palace. They were still worried about their children in Chang'an City.

Li Yu comforted Chang Le at the side, "Mom, it's okay. This incident is just about the woman from the Su family being unruly. We haven't been affected in any way, so don't worry."

Chang Le nodded slightly and felt relieved. Li Mu came back with a gloomy look on his face and saw his father was there in the Golden Light Hall. Everyone was there. It was a proper family dinner. The expression on his face softened a little. "Father, mother."

But the voice still sounded muffled, with a hint of crying.

Changle frowned and stood up to see his son, "Mu'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Xie Zhao also walked over. He rarely saw his son with this expression. He usually smiled. If something went wrong, there must be something evil.

"Child, what's wrong?" Xie Zhao asked.

Li Wanning was still immersed in handling government affairs. When he saw Chang Le and Xie Zhao passing by, he also stood up. Li Yu next to him suddenly grabbed his eldest brother's hand, "Brother, don't go there yet. Wait for your parents to persuade them."

Li Wanning nodded and stood next to Li Yu. He was shocked to realize that the little girl had grown so fast in the past two years. She used to be a tiny little girl, but now she was on his shoulders. He couldn't bear to look at her. Zhu took one or two more glances before giving up. He was worried that Su Qing and Li Yu were good friends and Su Qing's behavior would affect her, so he asked: "Yu'er, what do you think about Su Qing's matter? "

Li Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "She doesn't follow the rules of a woman. But it's not a loss since she got a handsome man back." Then she looked at Chang Le's position and whispered, "Don't say it was me who said that. .”

Li Wanning looked at Li Yu worriedly, "Has she influenced you? When you meet a man you like, you don't have to be as extreme as Su Qing. Just come back and tell your elder brother, and he will directly make the decision for you, let alone a Gallomon. Young master, even if you like the King of Heaven, big brother has to help you be with the person you like. Anyway, you remember, girls, you must never do anything that makes you look down on yourself, do you understand?"

Li Yu stuck out her tongue at Li Wanning, "I know, brother." Then he muttered, "What if I just like the King of Heaven?"

Li Wanning patted his chest and promised: "If you are really brave, my elder brother will tie you up immediately and throw you to the Nanshan Mountains to feed the wolves, so that you will not harm others."

"Brother, you are not kind." Li Yu pouted. She had never thought about marrying some bullshit Nanshan Wolf. She only wanted to marry Li Wanning.

Li Wanning couldn't help but sigh when he looked at his sister. This girl was really spoiled.

……

Chang Le sat next to Li Yu, watching the interaction between the two brothers and sisters, feeling a little envious in his heart. It would be great if he could have such a brother-sister relationship.

"Brother, do you think Su Qing did this? Did she frame her deliberately because of my relationship?" Li Yu asked Li Wanning in a low voice.

Li Wanning shook her head, "It shouldn't be her." She remembered that when Su Qing was on stage just now, her eyes were obviously twinkling.

"Why, didn't she like me before?" Li Yu was still a little depressed when she thought about it. After all, she didn't want to be an indifferent princess in the eyes of others.

Li Wanning touched her sister's head and said, "Fool, since she chose the way she did today to resolve this matter and also used you, she must be unwilling to interact with you anymore."

Li Yu curled her lips, "I forgot. I went to see her in the first two years when she was sent to the mountains to be an aunt, but she often avoided me in the past few years. I originally thought she was angry with me. , I just thought that since we are good friends, there is always a way to repair the relationship again."

Li Yu clenched her fists. Although she had a gentle personality, it did not mean that she was a fool. She had long suspected Su Qing.

Seeing this, Li Wanning took her hand and squeezed it gently, "No matter who did this, it doesn't matter anymore. The most important thing now is to forget those dirty people or things."

Li Yu nodded. Suddenly, she looked at Chang Le's back in shock for a moment, and then murmured: "I know."
-
after dinner.

Chang Le and Xie Zhao returned to Lanyue Platform to rest.

Li Muze went to the Jiaofang Division to find Le Ji early. In fact, everyone knew it, but no one exposed his little thoughts. He said that he wanted to propose marriage to the Qin family, but he was always ignored. The Qin family is now very hot. The ants on the pot, the evidence of the crime is still on the emperor's bedside, and whether it is destroyed or not can be determined by a thought.

There is really no need to help others with household chores.

Qin Zipei also rarely came to see Li Mu. During this period of time, Li Mu often went to see Le Ji.

Lucky in Jiaofangsi was really the love of his life, and his favorite thing to do was to ask Lucky to play the piano with him.Le Ji has a pair of beautiful hands, and she can make Li Mu fascinated by just playing with the strings.

As it happens, the two are not a good match.

This is Li Mu's regret, and it is also Li Mu's luck.

After Le Ji finished playing the song tonight, she packed up her things and prepared to leave. Li Mu hurriedly chased him out and hugged her waist. Le Ji struggled several times but failed, "Master... please let go of this slave!"

Li Mu's lips were close to her earlobe and he whispered: "I won't touch you tonight. I just want to talk to you. Don't move."

Le Ji bit her lip, "I'm not used to this. If someone sees me, it won't harm the master's reputation, but my reputation will be ruined."

Li Mu raised his eyes and looked at Le Ji, "I don't care, besides..." He leaned into her ear and whispered: "You have such a beautiful singing voice, who would be willing to let your reputation be ruined."

When Lucky heard this, her body stiffened a bit, then she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Li Mu hugged the person in her arms tightly. He was not Liu Xiahui, let alone a saint. It was just that he had a heavier responsibility and was unwilling to hurt others or embarrass her.

"I don't force you, I just want to chat with you. You don't have to agree to it, but please don't reject me."

Lucky opened her eyes, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, "But..."

Li Mu gently stroked her black and smooth black hair, "Don't be afraid, let's just talk. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

Le Ji nodded slightly, then leaned into his arms, "What do you want to say to me?"

Li Mu hugged her and said slowly: "Leji, you know I like you very much, right? I really want to marry you, and redeeming your life is just a small matter. Are you willing to come with me?"

Le Ji's face changed, and then she shook her head, "I don't know." She didn't know why. She obviously liked Li Mu very much, otherwise she wouldn't have blocked the assassin's knife when she met him in the palace. The injury on my body still hurts a little.

But the disparity in status between them is too far.

One is a high-ranking prince, surrounded by stars, and the other is a slave girl.
Just like the bright moon and the tiny ant, they always look at each other with layers of broken self-esteem.

Li Mu seemed to have guessed her concerns, and said with a smile: "Leji, we can get engaged first. When I am pregnant, I will ask the emperor for permission to marry you."

What Li Mu thinks is that after he reaches the crown, he will become a real man. Then he can naturally marry Le Ji. The eldest daughter of the Qin family cannot marry, and his parents will not object to marrying a concubine.

After hearing this, Lucky was surprised, then lowered her head and became silent.After a long while, he whispered, "Your Majesty, I am not worthy of you. Le Ji has a low status. It would be best if the Prince can redeem Le Ji. Le Ji only wants to play the piano for you for the rest of her life."

Li Mu continued: "I know that my identity is not suitable for you, but I don't mind. If you feel aggrieved, you can think about it for three days." After finishing speaking, Li Mu stood up and said, "Let's stop here tonight. I’ll come find you again tomorrow.”

Lucky nodded, "Okay, please be safe on the road."

Li Mu turned around, but ran into a gentle embrace.

Li Mu was stunned, looked up, and found Li Yu not far away. He was a little embarrassed, and quickly pushed Le Ji away from his arms, "Yu'er."

Li Yu smiled and said: "Brother, why did you run out? I was still thinking about finding you."

Li Mu rubbed the top of her head, "Shouldn't I come out for some fresh air?" As he said that, he waved to Le Ji again, "I'm going back to the room first. See you later."

After saying that, he walked away quickly.

He didn't notice that behind him, Lucky was staring at his back, her eyes getting moist.

After Li Mu returned to the room, he lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He kept reflecting on whether he had done something wrong, but he felt that he had done nothing wrong. He just wanted to be with her. As for his identity, etc. No need to care at all.

He tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep. When he woke up the next day, his whole face was swollen. He was drunk and slammed the door out last night. Unexpectedly, he was watched by people all night. Fortunately, he usually played outside. Much, this matter is nothing to other dandy boys, and it does not cause any trouble to him.

During breakfast time, Li Yu saw Li Mu looking listless and asked, "Brother, what's the matter with you?"

Li Mu picked up the porridge on the table, ate a spoonful, and said with a bitter face, "I was laughed at when I went out today."

"What's wrong?" Li Yu looked confused.

Li Mu told Li Yu the whole story. Li Yu slammed the table and stood up, "How unreasonable. How dare you bully my eldest brother? I'll beat them to death if I don't."

Li Mu quickly stopped her, "Don't be impulsive. If we act rashly like this, we will easily anger our father. Then we won't be the only ones involved."

Li Yu was dissatisfied, "But I can't swallow this breath. I must avenge my eldest brother."

Li Mu sighed, "You have to remember that we are not fighting alone now. I have a group of brothers and sisters. If something happens to us, they will definitely not stand by and watch, so you have to protect yourself and them."

Li Yu nodded seriously.

After breakfast, Li Mu went to the academy to study, while Li Yu went to a school specially opened for noble girls to learn how to manage a house.

Because of Li Mu's relationship with the academy, although Li Yu had to spend a lot of time with Chang Le every day, she did not delay her studies. After all, she was still young and could not focus on her studies for the time being.

When Li Mu went to the college, he bought some snacks and brought them there. As soon as he stepped into the classroom, he felt strange looks from around him. He pretended not to see it and went straight to his seat. Then he took out a snack and handed it to the person sitting in the corner. In the hands of the young man.

Qin Mu was startled, "Your Highness?"

"Well, try my sister's new osmanthus cake."

Qin Mu took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, took a bite, raised his eyebrows, and praised: "As expected of a little princess, even the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is delicious."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it. Yu'er will be happy knowing that I come here to share the desserts she made with you every day."

Qin Mu smiled and stuffed the remaining osmanthus cake into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I have liked sweets since I was a child, but Princess Jade is really good."

Li Mu laughed, what a fool!

At this time, a beautiful figure flashed in from the door. The girl was wearing pink clothes. She was cute and cute. She sat down on the empty seat next to Li Mu, stretched out her hands and hugged his arm, "Li Mu, come here." La."

The girl has fair skin, almond eyes and cherry lips, a straight nose, and very delicate facial features. In addition, her cute and cute appearance makes people laugh, especially when she calls Li Mu 'Li Mu', she seems to be acting coquettishly.

Li Mu frowned when he looked at the girl in front of him. He stretched out his hand and pushed her shoulder, "Stay away from me. Men and women are not allowed to touch each other."

As Li Mu said that, he moved to the side and distanced himself from her. Li Mu really loved Li Yu as his own sister, but this girl in front of him clung to him shamelessly. He really felt like he was there The illusion of raising a daughter
"You're annoying!" The more Li Mu avoided suspicion, the more the girl clung to him, and even deliberately rubbed his arm, "Li Mu~"

Li Mu felt goosebumps all over her body, so she simply closed her eyes and ignored her.

Seeing this, the girl pouted and hummed, then she lay down on Li Mu's desk and dozed off. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Mu felt that there were a few pairs of eyes secretly staring at him, as if they were gloating about his misfortune.

Li Mu opened his eyes, glanced around, and found a familiar figure - Xiao Changfeng.

He couldn't help but curl his lips. He and Xiao Changfeng were classmates. They had a very ordinary relationship, but their personalities were quite similar. They were both relatively reserved people who spoke very little, but they both had things hidden in their hearts.

Xiao Changfeng obviously came to see the fun this time. After watching for a while, he suddenly stood up, walked towards Li Mu, and said in Li Mu's ear: "I heard that you were besieged by some rogues last night?"

Hearing this, Li Mu's eyes darkened and he sneered, "You also know about this? It's not a siege, it's just that he had a woman last night, but he didn't get it, so he was laughed at."

Xiao Changfeng nodded, "Yes, I heard about it too."

"Oh? Are you going to help me take revenge?" Li Mu looked at Xiao Changfeng with interest, "You have to think carefully, even these rumors can't defeat me."

Xiao Changfeng pursed his lips and said calmly: "Your business is my business. Now that I have heard about it, how can I let you be bullied in vain?"

Listening to his eloquent words, Li Mu felt warmth well up in his heart. He held Xiao Changfeng's hand and said, "Thank you. I will definitely repay you when I have the opportunity in the future."

Xiao Changfeng shook his head, "No need."

Li Mu did not insist. He knew that Xiao Changfeng said one was one and two was two, but he was still very grateful to Xiao Changfeng in his heart. Although it was just a few words, the news that Li Mu liked a slave spread like wildfire.

Overnight, countless storybooks began with Li Mu's story.

The domineering prince fell in love with me.

This is simply the dream of all lowly girls.

The girl who just came out of the academy was found to be a new student of the Imperial College. She got admitted on her own. Her background is a mystery. It is said that when she came to report, no one from her family came. A little girl came to study by herself, carrying a bag. .

But Li Mu really has no interest in other women, let alone women younger than himself.

He just wants to marry Lucky as soon as possible.

This matter also reached the ears of the emperor. As Li Mu's eldest brother, Emperor Li Wanning naturally heard that he liked a woman from the Jiaofang Division. He had mentioned helping that woman redeem her life before.

Li Wanning was originally going to help Li Mu, but Li Mu refused and said that he could do everything on his own. The emperor couldn't defeat him, so he gave up.

Now that he heard the news, Li Wanning felt vaguely worried.

His younger brother may seem like a playboy, but he is extremely stubborn at heart. If he doesn't want to, no one can persuade him unless the emperor personally takes action.

However, Li Wanning only thought about it for a moment and then gave up. His younger brother had a weird temperament. It was better to let nature take its course regarding his marriage. His parents did not make a clear statement and it was really difficult to handle.
-
Li Mu and Li Yu are twins. Although their personalities are very different, they are very similar in appearance.

Therefore, when Li Mu walks on the road, he always attracts the attention of passers-by.

One of them is outstanding in appearance and handsome, the other is lively, cute, youthful and beautiful.

When passing by a jewelry store, Li Mu stopped.

Li Yu glanced at him doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Li Mu pointed to the gold hairpin on the counter, "This is for you."

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in surprise. She grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and said in surprise: "Did you give it to me?"

Li Mu nodded, "Well, I gave it to you. Although this hairpin is worth three thousand cash, it suits you just right. You can keep it and wear it."

Li Yu's eyes were slightly red. She sniffed hard, then raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and choked out: "Thank you, brother, I like it very much!"

Li Mu smiled, touched her head again, turned and walked towards another shop.

"Boss, I want this hairpin too!" Li Yu quickly ran in front of Li Mu and said to the jewelry seller.

"Okay!" The boss responded, and then quickly inserted the gold hairpin into Li Yu's head.

Li Yu touched the golden hairpin on his head with satisfaction, then turned to look at Li Mu, "Brother, does it look good?"

Li Mu nodded, "It looks good."

Li Yu asked with a smile: "What about brother?"

Li Mu touched the silver hairpin on his head and said, "It's just as beautiful."

Li Yu chuckled twice and asked, "When did that brother marry Le Ji?"

Hearing this, the corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched, "Yu'er, don't read those words. Le Ji doesn't even agree."

Li Yu puffed up her cheeks and said, "Mother must have known about it. She is just waiting for you to tell her. But I still want to advise you to find a girl from a poor family. You can find a prostitute. Insult the lintel of our family."

"How could that happen?" Li Mu laughed and patted her on the head, "Kid, you've been staying with your eldest brother for a long time now, right? When you reprimand everyone, you do the same thing."

"No!" Li Yu immediately smiled.

Li Mu: "Okay, leave me alone and take care of yourself. It's been so long. Where is your consort? Why is there no trace at all? Who is the person you like? It can't be Mr. Rabbit from Nanfeng Pavilion, right? .Sister, that’s not okay, those men are good-looking, but they are useless!”

Li Yu suddenly burst into tears and beat Li Mu with both hands and feet, "Smelly brother, bad brother! He knows how to bully my sister! I don't like Mr. Rabbit! The person I like is an upright man!" The little girl was so angry. The nose is red.

Li Mu offered his body and apologized
After Li Mu came out of the jewelry shop, he went straight to the academy.

There was a row of soldiers standing at the entrance of the academy, with a soldier standing every one meter or so, strictly guarding it.

This battle startled the passers-by walking around.

In the middle of this group of soldiers stood a man in black and brocade robes. The man had a delicate face and deep features. His face was like a sculpture, with perfect contours.

He was wearing a black brocade robe, with a noble and elegant temperament, as if he was a work of art carefully carved by God.

Li Mu was startled, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Isn't this man the number one scholar who was selected by the emperor's eldest brother?He actually came to the academy.

Is it because of him?

The man noticed Li Mu's gaze and turned his head to look over. His dark pupils came into Li Mu's eyes.

Li Mu coughed lightly and gave him a friendly smile, "Master Zhuangyuan."

The man nodded without saying anything, then turned and walked into the academy. Li Mu quickly followed.

After entering the academy, Li Mu found that wherever the man went, he would attract everyone's attention, whether he was a teacher or a student.

Li Mu couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "The number one scholar is so popular. Fortunately, I didn't take part in the imperial examination, otherwise I would have drowned."

Li Yu burst out laughing after hearing this, "Brother, what are you talking about? With your little knowledge, how can you possibly take part in the imperial examination? You were eliminated in the first round."

Li Mu rolled his eyes, "Why can't you take the imperial examination? Your brother and I are a genius. I can learn everything quickly. Even if I don't know how to take the imperial examination, I have to give it a try." He said and chased after the man. Li Yu curled his lips and muttered: "Shameless!"

Of course it was a joke that Li Mu wanted to take part in the imperial examination. People like him were used to being undisciplined. He came to school only because he was forced to do so. He would go out to play whenever he had the chance. If not, he might as well go to Jiangnan to deal with abacus.
-
Xuanwu Gate.

On the training ground.

Changle leaned in the shade and watched Li Mu practicing martial arts with his master. Her eyes were deep and she sighed. Xie Zhao went to discuss government affairs with Li Wanning.

In fact, when the children grow up, they no longer have to take care of them.

Changle also had the consciousness to let go, but she felt uncomfortable hearing such a big scandal about her child and a singer.

The key is that the conversation between the two that day was overheard and written down. Although most people felt that it was just spreading rumors, how could Li Mu, the proud son of Ming Dynasty, be rejected by a singing girl, and let her go back and think about it carefully.

This is simply a slap in Li Mu's face, a slap in the royal family's face.

But in fact it is not.

That's what Li Mu said.

The more Chang Le thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out. He walked over and said to his son in a cold and business-like manner for the first time: "Li Mu, come here to talk to mother."

Of course, Li Mu knew why Chang Le came to see him today. He immediately explained it to the teacher, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to the shade of the tree, waiting for his mother's questioning.

"Li Mu, tell me clearly, do you have a crush on that singer?" Chang Le asked in a strong tone.

Li Mu was silent for a few seconds, and finally decided to be honest, "Yes, I have fallen in love with her, and I am going to marry her home. Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will not do anything to harm my father, as long as she is willing Marry your son."

Chang Le glared at Li Mu, "Are you crazy? What is her identity? She is a singer! A singer! Do you know?!"

Li Mu shook his head.

Chang Le gritted his teeth and cursed: "Are you stupid? How could you fall in love with a singing girl?"

Li Mu said calmly: "Mother and concubine, the singer is also a human being. As long as she is a human being, I will like her."

Changle was furious, "Are you serious?"

Li Mu nodded.

Changle stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled bitterly, "That's all, since you have made your choice, as the mother-in-law, I can only bless you, but..." She paused and continued: "I hope you will never regret it!"

"Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will never regret it."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, a sharp and harsh voice came from the side, "Your Highness."

Chang Le frowned and looked around, and saw a woman in palace clothes hurried over with a young girl. The girl was slim and graceful, with a pretty face and spring eyes, charming and charming.

At this moment, she was clutching the sleeves of the woman in palace clothes tightly, sobbing softly.

It was Lucky who was at the center of the conversation.

When Changle saw her, his frown deepened, "What are you doing here again?"

The woman in palace clothes comforted the girl in her arms softly, then looked up at Li Mu, nodded slightly, and said gently: "The Queen, I would like to have a few words with Your Highness."

Changle nodded in agreement.

The woman in palace clothes left with the girl. Li Mu glanced at Chang Le, hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

The two of them stood in front of the flower garden. The woman in palace clothes handed over the handkerchief and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for marrying us Le'er."

Li Mu waved his hand, "Thank you for nothing, it's something we both agree on."

The woman in palace clothes pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "If Your Highness has no other instructions, I will leave first."

Li Mu hummed, "Go ahead."

The woman in palace clothes left the girl behind and left.

Li Mu stood there stunned for a moment, and then walked towards Changle.

"Mother, this is Lucky. Let's have dinner together and have a good chat. Lucky has no other family members. The one who just came here is the female official from the palace. She is the one who single-handedly raised Lucky."

The palace-dressed woman is the eldest maid in the palace, and she is mainly in charge of the teaching department.

After Li Mu explained Le Ji's life experience to Chang Le, he said to his mother: "Le Ji is very smart and beautiful. Mother, you must treat her well."

Changle snorted, "I'm too lazy to care about her!"

Then he turned to greet Lucky: "Come here!"

Changle's voice was loud, showing her extremely irritable side.

Le Ji walked over slowly and lowered her head, "My slave, I pay my respects to Her Highness the Princess."

"I have something to warn you about."

Chang Le looked at Le Ji and said.

Lucky knelt down stiffly on the ground and responded respectfully: "Princess, please speak."

Changle asked coldly: "Where are you from? Where are your parents and brothers?"

Le Ji replied: "Princess, my servant is from a poor family and has no father or mother. As for her parents and brothers." Le Ji raised her eyes and said timidly: "They all died of illness."

Changle's face immediately became very ugly.

Li Mu looked at Chang Le's expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, women are all emotional creatures. Although Chang Le seemed to be dismissive of Le Ji, her eyes had already revealed her true inner thoughts.

Chang Le stared at Le Ji coldly, "You are not allowed to enter the palace again, and you are not allowed to seduce King Yu again."

"Empress," Le Ji hurriedly begged for mercy, "I did not seduce His Highness King Yu, it was King Yu who fell in love with me."

"Shut up!" Chang Le shouted at her, "How dare you, a singing prostitute, think of King Yu? Who gave you the courage? Someone, drag her down and beat her to death with sticks!"

Li Mu quickly stopped the palace maid and advised, "Concubine, she has lost her parents and is now alone. Please spare her this time."

Changle glanced at him and said coldly: "You are the prince, she is not worthy of being your wife and must die."

Li Mu was dissatisfied and said: "She did this show because of her poor family conditions. She didn't mean to seduce me. How could you kill someone casually?"

Changle glared at him angrily, "What do you know? Even if a singing prostitute dies for the country, she will not be buried on a tombstone, she will only become a pile of withered bones."

Li Mu said displeased: "How can this be compared? You don't know how hard the lives of those poor people are. It is an honor for them to sacrifice for the country."

"What do you know? You don't understand at all." Changle sneered, "Their death is glorious? Don't forget your own identity and status and what you want to do in the future."

Li Mu was poked in the foot and suddenly became angry, "I am different, I have never done that kind of thing, I"

"That's enough, I don't want to hear your arguments."

Changle said a soft word and turned around to leave.

That Le Ji didn't really want to get married to Li Mu.

Women understand women best.

You can tell by looking at the other person's eyes whether you like it or not.

The scare words just now were just a small test given by Chang Le to Le Ji. If she really dared to risk death and stay with Li Mu, it would not be impossible to make her a concubine. .

Changle felt that he had finished singing even though he had a black face and a white face.

A little tired.

He went to look for Xie Zhao with hasty steps.

The dinner we agreed to have with Lucky didn't materialize in the end.
-
a month later.

"Your Highness."

Le Ji timidly called Li Mu.

Li Mu calmed down, smiled at her, and said, "Go and change quickly. I'll take you to eat something good tonight."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lucky breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried just now that the princess would directly order someone to deal with her. Now it seems that the princess has really given up the idea. This month has not been very difficult. Although Chang Le often scares her, she found that Chang Le is not real. If you want to hurt her, you probably just want to test the relationship between them. Anyway, every parent in the world can understand.

Li Mu took Le Ji to Zuixian Tower.

After the food and wine were served, Li Mu raised his glass and said, "Come, let's celebrate. I can finally marry a wife."

Li Mu chuckled and said, "I'm going to get married soon. After I get married, I can move out of the East Palace and live outside."

Hearing this, Le Ji had a look of envy on her face and murmured, "It would be great if I could have the opportunity to marry His Highness."

When Li Mu heard her murmur, he couldn't help but smile. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He suppressed the pounding in his heart and said, "Don't think so wildly. I will try my best to help you plan, but the premise of all this is , you must promise not to betray me."

Le Ji lowered her head and whispered: "I don't dare."

Li Mu smiled, changed the subject and asked, "Why did the Queen summon you today?"

"The slaves don't know either."

"Then did she scold you?"

"No slave." Le Ji shook her head, "The Queen just told the slave not to enter the palace again in the future."

"What are you telling me?" Li Mu asked doubtfully.

Le Ji bit the corner of her mouth and whispered: "The Queen said"

"What did you say?" Li Mu couldn't wait to ask.

Le Ji was silent for a long time, and then she said softly: "The Queen asked me not to pester you, otherwise I will ruin Your Highness's reputation."

Li Mu: "."

He put down his chopsticks, took out silk and wiped his mouth, looked at Lucky and said, "We have known each other for so long, don't you still understand me?"

Lucky asked uncertainly: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Li Mu said seriously: "I am definitely not that kind of person!"

"But the empress."

Li Mu sighed, "My mother is just afraid that I will be a bad learner."

Le Ji hesitated and said: "But."

Li Mu suddenly put his arm around her shoulders and said earnestly: "As you know, I am the only child of the Supreme Emperor. If something happens to my eldest brother, I may still be the future emperor. It is normal to have some warblers around me. This is not a mistake, you don’t have to be afraid, I won’t let you down.”

Le Ji lowered her head and said, "I understand."

Li Mu patted her head again and comforted her softly: "I will promise you that I will never take any concubines, wives, or concubines. I love you forever."

Le Ji was stunned for a moment, then slowly moved closer to Li Mu's arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and gave a low hum.

In the dead of night, Li Mu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

His hand touched Lucky's soft and delicate skin, and it became hotter and hotter the more he touched it.

He swallowed, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Tell me, should I taste the forbidden fruit?"

Lucky opened her eyes in confusion, "What?"

"It's just something between husband and wife."

Le Ji's pretty face instantly turned red and she said shyly, "Your Highness, you are still young."

Li Mu was depressed, "Why am I so young?"

Lucky blushed and said: "Age, age"

"."

Le Ji continued: "Your Highness is still young and is not suitable for sexual intercourse. When you get older, you will naturally know."

Li Mu said unhappily: "Then why don't you hurry up and give me children?"

Le Ji said in shame: "Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a child."

Li Mu frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Le Ji said: "This slave cannot have children, so..."

"What did you say?" Li Mu looked at her with wide eyes.

Le Ji said bitterly: "My slave has a special constitution and cannot conceive. Therefore, Your Highness does not need to wait for my slave for twenty or eight years before you can have your grandson."

Li Mu was dazed for a long time, then slowly sat up and said with hollow eyes, "So that's it."

Le Ji lowered her head, not daring to look at his expression, and said weakly: "Your Highness, please forgive me, it's my slave's fault. I don't blame Your Highness, it's my slave's misfortune."

Li Mu was silent for a long time and sighed: "Forget it, since God has made you infertile, don't force it. Don't worry, I won't dislike you. When I marry you, I will take good care of you."

Le Ji was so moved that she cried, threw herself into his arms, and choked with sobs: "Thank you, Your Highness, I am willing to work for Your Highness."

"Not so polite."

The two hugged each other for a long time. Li Mu took out a jade pendant from the storage ring and handed it to her, saying, "This is a family heirloom my mother left for me. I give it to you."

Lucky looked up at him, "This is."

Li Mu said: "This is called Linglong Jade Pendant. It is said that it was given to my mother by the late emperor."

Le Ji hesitated for a moment, took the jade pendant, and said, "Although I don't have much money, I accept this jade pendant."

Li Mu smiled slightly, "Just keep it, don't worry about the money."

Le Ji lowered her head, put the jade pendant into her arms, and said softly: "Your Highness, I'm sleepy, please sleep with me."

Li Mu admired her beautiful face, nodded, pulled up the quilt and covered her body, "Go to sleep."

"Have you thought about it? Let Muer and Leji get married." Xie Zhao was leaning on the bedside in a black and satin pajamas.

Chang Le was applying something called a "facial mask". Anyway, Xie Zhao didn't understand it very well. He only saw that his wife's face turned black and white, which was quite magical.

Changle sighed, smoothed the black earth mask on his face, then walked to the bed and sat down, saying: "What else can I do? If I want to marry a singer, I will marry him. He will be happy." That’s good, I have tested everything I should have tested this month, and this woman is still somewhat sincere in her treatment of us, Mu’er, otherwise she wouldn’t have persisted for so long, so let’s just grant them her wish.”

Xie Zhao actually doesn't care what kind of person his child will marry in the future. Even if he marries an assassin, he thinks there will be no problem.

It was this surprising outlook on life that made Li Mu so rebellious in his adolescence.

So Xie Zhao chose not to interfere this time and let the child make his choice. All he could do was to ensure the child's future. At least he couldn't go astray. It was normal to marry a singer. Their family was already so big. , there is no need to improve one's status through marriage.

Xie Zhao held Chang Le's hand and said warmly: "It's up to you to decide. If you want to get married, just settle the marriage as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

Chang Le also thought the same, "It's too late to stay here! I heard that they are living together now. It's too fast."
