boudoir

Chapter 9
He Yuxi nodded, "Now you can live with peace of mind." He turned his face away, seeming to be thoughtful.

Liuli was worried that something bad would happen to Cuiying when she came back, so she had to seek reassurance from He Yuli as soon as possible, and asked intentionally, "Is the master worried about Liuli's identity?"

He Yuxi glanced at her and held up the lamp.

Liuli said: "My lord, don't be embarrassed, just send Liuli out of the mansion when it's time to introduce current affairs."

He Yu said: "Now that you are back, how can there be any reason to let you go out?"

Liuli smiled, "Actually, I also know about this level. The illegitimate daughter of He's mansion came in and out of the mansion, and when it spreads outside, it will be so ugly. But the master can't let Liuli recognize his ancestors, so I will continue to do this." Live here, it’s always a bad name.”

He Yu looked at her inquiringly.She stood up and said with a smile: "Open the skylight to be honest, I might as well give the master an idea. If Liuli can't leave the mansion after the matter is over, the master will propose to the old man that I am the daughter of a distant relative and that I be fostered in the mansion. "

He Yuxi paused, "Why?"

Liuli smiled and said: "This is the best way. If you admit that I am your daughter, the old man will not be able to get through it. The old man has been upright all his life, and the old lady hates these things that are against etiquette, so she will not admit it willingly. My granddaughter. The second eldest lady is noble and respectful, and if you recognize me, it will be like slapping her in the face. Even if you admit it reluctantly, we will definitely be generous with you and me in the future."

He Yuxi took a sip of tea and put it down again, "Isn't this unfair to you?"

Liuli shook her head: "I have never lived in this mansion. According to my wish, I naturally want to go out of the mansion. But everyone already knows me, even if I want to go out, the old man will definitely not let me out of the mansion. Shame. I naturally want to enter the He family tree and be a descendant of the He family, but this is impossible. I also know that the illegitimate daughter is humble and despised, but I want to live like a normal person when I come to the world .Since the Elder Master rewarded me with life, why don't you simply reward me with a way to live?"

He Yuxi stared at her fixedly, but was unable to speak, perhaps because he was shocked by the words that did not match his age.Liuli knew that she had taken this dose of medicine fiercely, but at this moment, for the sake of her own destiny, she had no choice but to be fierce.

"I stayed in the form of lodging. First, I fulfilled my filial piety. Second, I honored the face of the eldest lady. Third, now that the border is at war, the old man has tried his best to advocate for peace. This time, Marshal Qi has repeatedly won victories. What is the status of the He family in the court?" It must be affected, the second master is quietly following the path of the eldest lady's father, Yu Youcheng, but he has never thought about how great an achievement it is to pacify northern Xinjiang. What should I do?"

He Yu stood up and looked at her like a ghost, "You are a child, how can you know the affairs of the court so clearly!"

Liuli ignored it, turned around and continued: "In my opinion, it is better to face difficulties than to avoid risks at this time. There will definitely be a need for food collection from time to time. At this time, as long as the old lady who is the secretary of the household department asks to be an imperial envoy for food collection, If the matter is done well, then the Holy Majesty will naturally be favored. Of course, if there are other similar opportunities, you can also try it. Only by showing the sincerity of obedience to the Holy Majesty is the way to protect yourself."

He Cistanchi stood there dumbfounded, and trembled unconsciously for a long time.

"Who taught you this?!"

"Where has anyone ever taught you?" Liuli lowered her head helplessly: "There are many people in the mansion, and several masters are all officials in the capital, and the people below talk about it a lot. Anyone who is interested will analyze it when they hear it."

He Yuxi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and after he was overwhelmed with doubts, he glanced at Liuli again, stroked his beard and meditated for a long time, and then said: "Although your suggestion may not seem very clever, it is still close to the edge. It's just based on your ninety-nine It's incredible to have such an opinion at such a young age. But your grandfather is very knowledgeable, and he was once a middle school..." He paused at this point, and looked back at her, thinking of something, his eyes were quite thought-provoking, and then turned away. Said: "I heard from your mother that you learned to write and read when you were young. I think you have some achievements."

Liuli said: "I know a little bit about superficiality, but I dare not call it an achievement."

He Cistanno nodded, with deep doubts in his eyes, he kept looking at her.Fortunately, Liuli was already prepared, and he couldn't stop doing everything with a calm smile.After a while, thinking that he couldn't catch any clues, he gradually relaxed again, returned to the previous state, walked to the table and sat down.

Liuli said: "Does the master think it's worth a try?"

He Yu frowned: "The old man has always been upright, I'm afraid he doesn't bother to do this act of adapting to the wind."

"If the old man doesn't mention it, the old man can also mention it."

He seemed a little impatient, and picked up his cup: "You are a daughter, don't bring up such things in the future. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you if the old man asks you!"

Seeing that he didn't want to talk any more, Liuli bit her lip and sat down.He Cunli is a veteran in the officialdom, it seems that it is not so easy to persuade him.She couldn't help feeling a little irritated, if she couldn't change all this, then she would fall into the cycle of selling herself as a slave again, who else could she ask for help now?
He Yuli glanced at her, picked up the teacup, looked at the tea in the cup to the light for a while, and said: "All you know is from the uncle who gave you the tea?"

She paused, "I only mentioned a few words."

"Hmm." He Yuxi pondered for a moment, then nodded, then suddenly turned around with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Yes, I have recently become obsessed with collecting calligraphy and paintings. I remember that your mother mentioned one in the past, but ever handed it over to you?"
