The little sister is a troublemaker
Chapter 267: The Empress Dowager's Intention
Li Yi's eyes were moist, but his expression was firm. "I hope my Lan'er will always be happy and always be herself."
Li Cong sighed, "Well, the imperial decree has been issued, and this matter is settled, and it cannot be changed. Fortunately, I still believe in the character of the regent, and Lan'er will not be wronged. Besides, we are all in Kyoto, and we can protect her."
Li Yi wiped his eyes a little embarrassedly, "Yes, Dad."
"I called you here because there is something else." Li Cong looked a little worried.
Li Xun asked, "But what did Eunuch Lin say to Dad? This imperial edict came so suddenly, but what's the reason?"
After all, he went to the palace every day, but the emperor had never mentioned this to him, so Li Xun was still very surprised.
Li Cong nodded, "This imperial edict is the will of the Empress Dowager."
Li Xun was shocked, "Grand Empress Dowager?"
How is that possible? In the entire capital, the only person who didn't want the Imperial Tutor's House to be on good terms with the Regent's House was the Prime Minister and the Empress Dowager, who rarely stayed in the capital.
Why? It would be a long story if I were to explain it in detail. Anyway, this man had been unhappy with the Li family since before the family was confiscated and exiled. It was probably because his father never liked to please others.
"Yes, and what's even more surprising is that the Empress Dowager strongly requested that Prince Cheng return to Kyoto to attend the Regent's wedding."
"When did the Empress Dowager and Prince Cheng become involved? Why haven't I heard of this before?" Li Xun frowned. What a mess.
"No matter when they got involved, this time, they must have some ulterior motive when Lan'er and the Regent got married." Obviously, this wedding would not be able to go smoothly.
Li Yi was anxious again, "Then... Is this marriage real or fake? What on earth does the emperor want to do?"
Li Yun also frowned and said, "The imperial decree has been issued, how can it be fake?"
"Then... if it involves King Cheng, how can we deal with this marriage?" Li Yi looked unhappy. He was just worried that the marriage was too hasty. Now, he was worried that the marriage could not go on. Oh, it was too difficult.
"Brother, don't worry too much. We must prepare for the marriage. As for Prince Cheng," Li Xun's eyes flickered, "since the emperor has agreed to let Prince Cheng enter the capital, he must have had his reasons."
"But... I am really panicking. Does the Regent know about this? What are his rules? He didn't even discuss it with us."
Li Cong put down the cup in his hand, "This happened suddenly, and the regent may not know about it. But the emperor can make this decision, and he must have expected the regent to agree. So we don't need to worry too much for the time being, just prepare for Lan'er's marriage, and as for the rest, let's wait for news."
Li Xun nodded. "Based on my understanding of the emperor, he will definitely inform the regent of this matter as soon as possible."
Although Li Yi was worried, he knew that worrying was useless, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, Lan'er's big day, we must not lose etiquette. It's only three months, it's really tight."
Li Cong thought for a moment, "My eldest brother's wife has never done anything like this before, and time is tight. You should go to the old house and ask for help in the preparations. After all, this is the first time our Li family has held a wedding since returning to Kyoto, so we must make it a lively occasion."
"Okay, I'll go right away. The matter of the imperial edict has probably spread everywhere, so it's a good time to go now." After saying that, he stood up and walked out, still looking a little flustered.
Li Congbang waved his hand, "Don't worry," and then looked at Li Xun, "Second brother, go with the eldest brother to see if your fourth uncle has fully recovered. If he has, ask him to come over."
Li Xun hesitated a little, "Is Fourth Uncle not willing to come?"
Li Cong pursed his lips, a little impatient, "How do you know if you didn't ask?"
"······yes."
The two brothers left in a hurry. Li Xi had no idea how serious the matter was. He only knew that his sister was going to get married and the regent was really going to be his brother-in-law. He felt very happy. If everything went well, maybe he could be an uncle by this time next year. He was happy just thinking about it.

Yuanhe Town.
Inside the main tent, Xing Yi and others were reporting the situation to Chu Chenfeng. What was special today was that Xuan Ming was also there.
"Master, there is a village a hundred miles away from Yuanhe Town, called Xinghua Village. The villagers are very simple, but there are not many people, and most of them are elderly. We have arranged for people to send the remaining members of the Chiya tribe there, and have also processed their identities and household registrations. We have also instructed the nearby clerks to keep an eye on their movements at all times, and report immediately if anything is wrong."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, "How is Zihe doing?"
"Things are going very smoothly. The people now have hope and are full of vigor. According to what Young Master Lin said, the basic housing problem of the people will be solved within three months."
"Okay, this is the most important thing, let him pay more attention to it."
"Yes."
"Also, Young Marquis Gu has also returned. He said he will come back to report to you after distributing the supplies."
Chu Chenfeng nodded, and looked at Xuan Ming who was quiet beside him, "Doctor Xuan is here to talk about those patients, right?"
Xuanming then raised his eyes, "Well, you are really busy. The bloodworms are under control, and the treatment is going well. Now..." Xuanming took out a list from his sleeve and handed it over. Seeing this, Xingyi hurriedly took it and handed it to Chu Chenfeng.
"There are still some missing medicinal materials, and they need to be replenished as soon as possible."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at it and gave it to Xingyi directly, "Get it done for Doctor Xuan as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Seeing that someone had done the job, Xuanming didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and was about to leave.
"Doctor Xuan is going to see Lan'er?"
Xuanming was stunned, but nodded, "It's time to give her acupuncture now."
Chu Chenfeng stood up slowly, "The king will go with Divine Doctor Xuan."
Xuanming raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the prince very busy?"
"There is always work to do. I also want to go check on Lan'er, but I haven't been there yet today."
Xuanming chuckled, "I heard that in recent days, Xiaojiu's three meals a day have been served by the prince himself?"
Xuanming deliberately pronounced the word "serve" extremely slowly, with an obvious teasing implication.
Chu Chenfeng's expression did not change at all. "Lan'er is my fiancée. Moreover, it is my responsibility that she was injured. It is my duty to take care of her."
Xuanming gave him a meaningful look and said, "Your Majesty is thoughtful."
"The King is pleased."
"Heh." Xuanming didn't continue arguing with him and left the tent first.
Chu Chenfeng followed him out, leaving Xing Yi, Xing Er and others looking at each other in bewilderment.
