The grass in the factory should be plucked

Jiang Li's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple.

"W-what did you say?"

"I said, I like you." Xie Changan also gave it his all.

"Then why are you scolding me..."

"I was scolding myself."

He interrupted her and said what she was about to say all at once.

"Our identities are in jeopardy. If I do something unkind to you, it would be like stealing from the empire and committing adultery. It would also be detrimental to your future reputation."

Jiang Li lowered her head in shame.

Xie Changan stretched out his hand and lifted her small chin, letting her look at him: "After you leave the palace, we will ..."

"Little Li slave, I'll wait for you." He said softly, his eyes as gentle as water.

Jiang Li's face flushed, her heart pounding, and she whispered, "If so, how long will it take to wait?"

"Then wait."

He watched as joy gradually spread across her lips, revealing a beautiful smile.

Xie Changan's breath was caught in his throat. He used all his self-control not to kiss her regardless of the consequences.

"Sir..." Jiang Li was touched and shy.

His face darkened: "In private, can't you change your name?"

"What's his name? Xie Changan?" Jiang Li looked up at him in confusion.

Xie Changan simply loved and hated her, "You call everyone brother, why can't you... call me that too?"

God knows how jealous he is.

"Brother Changan..." Jiang Li called shyly.

This delicate voice went straight into his heart, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"Brother Changan, I have something to tell you too."

Jiang Li bit her lip, and like a young swallow, she threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly, "Brother Changan, thank you."

His heart was beating wildly, and he managed to find his voice again, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you, when I was like Cheng Feng, with my wings broken and locked in a cage," Jiang Li put her face against his chest and whispered, "you gave me another pair of wings so that I can fly again."

"That's why I... like you."

She raised her flushed face and said, "Brother Changan, can you tell me again what you said to Chengfeng?"

He couldn't help but laugh: "Okay."

He looked into her eyes and said word by word: "I will not restrain you in the future, and I will do my best to protect you."

He thought of her in the dense forest of the hunting ground, free and unfettered, with a smile on his lips, "So that you can fly higher and farther freely."

Jiang Li smiled with her eyebrows curved and looked extremely sweet.

He couldn't help but pinch her delicate face and whispered, "Just don't play too crazy and remember to go home."

"Well, where Brother Changan is is..."

She paused and lowered her head shyly.

"What is it?"

At this moment, his heart felt like it was soaked in a honey pot, so sweet.

"Wherever my heart is at peace, that is my hometown," she said seriously.

He smiled slightly and whispered, "So do I."

Looking at her shy little appearance, his Adam's apple moved and he pulled her out of his arms.

"Don't do this again in the future." He said in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Li looked up at him in confusion.

"My little raccoon is so beautiful, I'm afraid I can't control myself."

Jiang Li was so embarrassed that her ears were burning.

"Can we still get along like before?" He whispered, "After you leave the palace..."

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded obediently.

Xie Changan coughed uncomfortably, "I remember that you still owe me a favor."

"Ah?" Jiang Li's eyes widened. "What do you want?"

"Make me a purse." He was a little embarrassed.

"what?"

Jiang Li suddenly felt a headache. She had never even held a needle and thread before, so how could she make a purse?

"Everyone else has purses given by girls, but I don't."

Hearing his slightly aggrieved tone, Jiang Li had no choice but to nod with a bitter face, "Okay."

Her delicate eyebrows wrinkled in distress. "Can you give me another day off so I can learn from Aunt Lian?"

He couldn't help but laugh: "Sure. Didn't Aunt Lian teach you before?"

"I was taught, but later on, all ten of my fingers were pricked by needles and were full of holes. I cried and refused to learn anymore, and Aunt Lian couldn't do anything about it." Jiang Li said embarrassedly.

"That's really hard for you."

He couldn't help laughing when he thought of this naughty monkey being forced to learn needlework.

The two reconciled.

Seeing that her clothes were thin, Xie Changan took out his cloak and wrapped her up, "Are you cold wearing so little?"

Jiang Li pouted and said, "Who told you to scare me during the day? You forgot about it when you came out at night."

He said he would wait for her at the yamen, which made her feel uneasy and distracted the whole day.

Xie Changan chuckled and gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, "Don't hide from me anymore."

"Then you can't scold me all the time."

"it is good."

He added: "I'll ask Yin Jiu to bring you some more silver charcoal. The cold palace is too cold, don't catch a cold."

"Brother Changan, don't worry, I won't treat myself badly."

Jiang Li smiled proudly, "After all, I am still the owner of Longmen Trading Company, so I still have money to buy charcoal."

"Master Jiang is certainly not short of money," Xie Changan couldn't help but scratch her pretty little nose again, "It's not easy to bring things from outside the palace into the palace. Let Yinjiu buy anything you need."

"I don't think the King of Qi will make any more rash moves in the short term. But you still have to be careful and try not to be alone. I'll let Chengfeng follow you when you go on a mission."

Xie Changan killed all of his secret thugs, and it became difficult for the King of Qi to do anything else.

Jiang Li suddenly remembered something important.

Nangong Qinghe left the palace to build his own mansion, and Xiao Lihua followed him out of the palace, so he was unable to send a message to Jiang Li in time.

However, Jiang Li was the first to receive information about the major event that occurred in Fengyi Palace.

"Brother Changan, I received important information today!" Jiang Li's eyes sparkled.

"What information?"

"The King of Qi won't be able to be proud for many days!" Jiang Li almost laughed out loud.

"Why?"

Jiang Li leaned close to Xie Changan's ear and whispered, "The Queen has officially registered the Prince of Jin under her name!"

"The clan order of the Zongrenfu has been recorded in the royal jade book, and we are just waiting for the day to open the imperial temple!"

By then, Prince Jin will be the legitimate son of the Empress!

Xie Changan was shocked: "Really?"

Jiang Li whispered, "I have always asked Huahua and the others to monitor Fengyi Palace, Yuhua Palace, and Yong'an Palace. Huahua is very smart. It even remembers exactly what the Queen eats every day."

So, such important information was sent by that fat cat?

Xie Changan frowned slightly: "Such a big event, why didn't His Majesty announce it in the court?"

"Everyone knows that the emperor favors Prince Qi. Once this is announced, Prince Jin will be the legitimate crown prince, right?"

Jiang Li curled her lips, "I also heard that because the Empress was in danger, the Emperor had to agree. He delayed opening the Imperial Ancestral Temple and announcing the matter because he wanted to wait until the Empress passed away before appointing the Imperial Concubine as the Empress."

By then, the King of Qi and the King of Jin will both be legitimate sons, and the King of Jin will no longer have an advantage.

But, will the Queen Mother and the Duke of Zhenguo allow this to happen?

Xie Changan frowned and said, "I have to report this to the governor as soon as possible."

He turned to Jiang Li and said softly, "Shall I send you to Aunt Lian first? You should also learn how to make a purse."

Jiang Li made a bitter face: "Okay."
