It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

Didn’t Xiao Taohong say that?

It seems that it has not been said.

All of this was Lin Zhihe's imagination. After all, she had met the wife of Duke Zheng a few days ago. Judging from her age, she could probably guess that these dukes were not young.

"Isn't Duke the highest title in our dynasty? How can one become one if he's not old enough?" Lin Zhihe tilted his head and looked at Xiao Taohong.

"Master, you are right to think so. The title of Duke is indeed an honor that can only be earned through achievements. But it is different for Duke Chu. The title of Duke Chu was acquired by accident." Liu Li spoke slowly and explained in great detail.

Is it inherited?

Yes, he is a second-generation official.

"The previous Duke of Chu died on the battlefield, leaving only Yan Yikui as the only male member of the family. At that time, His Majesty was filled with grief and with tears in his eyes, he allowed the less than ten-year-old Young Master Yan to inherit the title of Duke of Chu."

Oh, the son of a martyr.

Lin Zhihe felt a little guilty, thinking that it was too much to make fun of others without knowing the situation.

"What happened next?" Lin Zhihe's voice sounded a little weak.

"Later, Duke Chu went to the border to gain experience at the age of fourteen, led the Yan army at the age of fifteen, and won a beautiful victory with the eldest prince at the age of seventeen. Later, the emperor showed sympathy for the Yan family and ordered the young master Yan to return to the court to marry your eldest sister."

Liu Li suddenly realized that she had strayed further and further from the topic, so she returned to the original topic, "The two have been married for only a year and have no children yet."

He looked against the light at Lin Zhihe who was listening with great interest, and a mischievous expression appeared on his delicate face.

That expression would never appear on the face of Lin Zhihe before. It was a lively expression that belonged uniquely to the person in front of him.

"Master, take a nap." Liu Li looked at Lin Zhihe who was still blinking her eyes, feeling sorry for her as she hadn't slept well along the way.

"You and Xiao Taohong should go out and find something to eat. You two haven't eaten yet!"

This was Lin Zhihe's last words before he went to sleep. After saying this, his breathing became long and even, and it was obvious that he had fallen asleep.

Taohong looked at him and mouthed, "Asleep?"

Liu Li nodded and pulled Tao Hong out of the bedroom. "Go find something to eat. I'll stay here to watch over the master."

"Okay, we'll switch shifts when I come back."

Seeing Taohong's departing back, Liu Li hurried back to the bedroom.

The room was covered with soft carpet and he walked very lightly. Naturally, Lin Zhihe on the bed noticed nothing and slept quietly.

Liu Li couldn't help but smile. She slept very quietly, always curled up in a corner, and never covered herself with the quilt, but only in her arms.

Is it because Taohong's sleeping posture is too "unrestrained" that she pushes her master into the corner, causing her to curl up into such a small ball?

Thinking of this, Liu Li couldn't help but frown again.

Suddenly, someone tugged at his sleeve. Liu Li was caught off guard and looked up at the person who came.

Perhaps it was because she subconsciously raised her eyes too fiercely, Taohong looked frightened, hunched her shoulders, and showed a frightened look.

Liu Li pulled Tao Hong out and adjusted her eyes, "You scared me. You didn't even signal me when you entered the room but just pulled my sleeve."

"You scared me! Why didn't I give you a sign? You just stared at the master and didn't see anything at all." Tao Hong recovered a little and began to complain, "No, why were you staring at the master?"

"Ah?" Liu Li suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and said calmly, "I was distracted."

"You're not much more reliable than me." Xiao Taohong pouted.

"It's your turn now. Go to the Madam's small kitchen to eat. I've already made arrangements with the kitchen."

"Oh." Liu Li left angrily.

Lin Zhihe was awakened by a creaking sound.

Are there mice?

Are there rats in a house like the Lin Mansion?

She quickly got up and went downstairs to look for the mouse.

As for the "rat", it was chewing something with a crunching sound in its mouth, and there were some crumbs on its mouth.

"Master? Did I wake you up?" Xiao Taohong was very flustered and quickly put the snack in her hand on the snack plate.

Lin Zhihe yawned and stretched, "No, I've slept for so long, it's time to wake up." She glanced at the dessert plate, all of which were the original owner's taste, none of which she liked.

"Oh." Xiao Taohong pushed the dessert plate a little further away and patted the dessert crumbs on her hands. "Master, you are awake. Let's get dressed."

Why do you need to dress up again?

Now she has to get dressed up, but what about the fact that Xiao Taohong and Liu Li hung around her for an hour this morning?

"I just took a nap. I just need to re-do my hair. No need to put on makeup." Lin Zhihe was really afraid that Xiao Taohong would put makeup on her again.

She didn't like to wear makeup when she was in college. She would just put on sunscreen before going out every day, and wash her face before going to bed at night. She was so happy because of the time she saved.

Since traveling to this ancient time, I have to put on makeup, but I have to spend an hour combing my hair every day. There seems to be no difference in the way I style my hair.

"I need to put on makeup!" Liu Li came in from the yard. I don't know if it was because she passed by the garden, but she brought a scent of osmanthus with her.

He raised the plate in his hand in front of Lin Zhihe, smiling, "Tonight's banquet is for all the blood relatives of your Lin family, both the inner and outer families are here. Master, you are from the palace after all, you have to let those common people see the elegance of our queen." Liu Li's tone sounded as if he was coaxing Liu Huan.

However, his provocation had no effect on Lin Zhihe, who was very unimpressed. "I am a commoner, I am just a talented person, and I was just promoted. They are all Dukes of Chu or Shangshu, and their wives are all princesses. I am the only one with the lowest rank."

Speaking of the common people, she is a genuine common person, with three generations of common people and below.

"Then the master must dress up more carefully and not let them outdo her." Liu Li's eyes flashed with cunning.

Lin Zhihe took the plate that Liu Li was holding, picked up a piece of delicious-smelling snack from it, took a big bite and put it into his mouth, "Please, spare me, I'm fine like this, don't torture me anymore." After saying that, he looked at Liu Li with pitiful eyes.

Liu Li couldn't stand this kind of gaze and chose to turn his back and not look at her.

She could only "attack" Xiao Taohong with such pitiful and innocent eyes, but Xiao Taohong was soft-hearted and surrendered instantly.

"Then I will touch up my master's makeup."

"Don't do a bun. It's good to have your hair down like this." Lin Zhihe smiled ingratiatingly.

She definitely couldn't wear the same set of clothes as she was wearing. Originally, Liu Li took out three pieces of clothes from the palace and planned to give them to Lin Zhihe.

Both sides made different choices, each held their own opinions, and neither was able to convince the other.

Lin Zhihe just watched the two of them quarreling leisurely, and the snack in her hand tasted even better.

"Master, look at Liu Li!" Little Taohong couldn't win the argument, so she came over to complain to Lin Zhihe.

"Master, this scarlet coat is so beautiful. It makes your skin look as white as snow, like a white lotus."

Hearing the word "white lotus", Lin Zhihe's heart flashed and he stroked Xiao Taohong's head.

Xiao Taohong, this word will not be a good word in a thousand years.

Liu Li couldn't act like a spoiled brat like Xiao Taohong, but she also took one. "This one, in the color of autumn fragrance, is steady and elegant, and can highlight the master's majesty."

Where is her majesty?

Looking at the two people who were refusing to give up, Lin Zhihe shook her head helplessly. Did anyone tell her that she would have to coax children after traveling through time?

If someone chooses Xiao Taohong, Liu Li will definitely be unhappy. But if someone chooses Liu Li, Xiao Taohong will probably be so angry that she can't even eat the big pork elbow.

Lin Zhihe passed by the two of them and picked up a dark green wide-sleeved shirt from the pile of clothes. It didn't even have a gold thread pattern, only two magnolia flowers embroidered on the cuffs.

She casually pulled on a scarlet skirt to match her top.

"That's it."
