Liu Mingzhi swaggered out of the princess's mansion under Li Xun's respectful farewell. He deliberately stopped outside the door and waited for a while. Still no sign of Li Jingyao appeared. Liu Mingzhi then turned around and walked towards the prince's old mansion. .
The old friend he told He Shu just now was undoubtedly Li Ye.
Three years have passed since he sent him away, and he has never seen him again. He is very curious about what the child has become now.
Have you already let go of what happened back then?
I guess it shouldn't be that easy.
Liu Mingzhi couldn't say he had any regrets about the change in his relationship with Li Ye. After all, he had done his utmost to Li Yeren back then.
But after all, there was still a trace of guilt left.
It's just that the two people were in different positions at the time, and it's hard to tell who was right and who was wrong.
As for the current result, it can only be said that the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser.
When he had nothing to do, Liu Mingzhi occasionally recalled a little bit of the past, thinking about what the scene would be like now if the two of them had taken a step back from each other.
A vast world? Or is everyone happy?
It's a pity that there is no if, after all, it has been three years since the incident, and it is useless to say anything now, except to add sadness.
Although I felt a little grudge in my heart, I never regretted my original act of raising troops to rebel.
If he was given another chance, Li Ye would still be as aggressive towards him as before, and he would still choose to take this path.
Because only by taking this path can I be 100% sure that I, as well as my entire family, will be safe and sound.
Liu Mingzhi really didn't have the confidence to gamble his wealth and life as a young man on whether Li Ye would behave like a cunning rabbit or a lackey after he handed over the power.
Because at that time, I could not see in Li Ye an attitude that would ensure that he would escape unscathed after he handed over his power.
And because his feet were on the Seven Stars, the old man was behind them, adding fuel to the fire.
There is absolutely no possibility of relaxation between himself and Li Ye.
Therefore, rebellion is the only option that can guarantee your own life.
While thinking secretly in his heart, Liu Mingzhi unknowingly arrived at the gate of the prince's old mansion.
After gently knocking on the door of the house a few times and drinking tea, Gao Jin's familiar face appeared in front of him.
"Old slave Gao Jin comes to see Your Majesty."
"No gift."
Gao Jin stood up, turned around, and respectfully invited Liu Mingzhi to come in: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, your Majesty happens to be at home. Your Majesty, please come in quickly."
"good."
Liu Mingzhi walked in without any hesitation, without any hesitation.
After all, the relationship between himself and Chen Jie is no better than that between He Shu and Gao Jin. Gao Jin already knows everything clearly and there is nothing to hide.
But maybe it has something to do with the environment where Chen Jie lives alone.
If He Shu hadn't stayed in his daughter's princess mansion, but had set up a separate mansion by himself, maybe the private meetings between the two of them wouldn't have to be as secretive as they are now.
It's just that I have persuaded He Shu more than once to find another residence to live in, but he has never convinced him, saying that she is not willing to live alone like her sister Chen Jie.
Liu Mingzhi sometimes couldn't help but wonder whether He Shu thought such a secretive private meeting was more exciting, so he didn't agree to go out to the secluded house.
Having said that, this kind of feeling of climbing over the wall to meet the beauties at night is really exciting, it can be said to be full of fun!
"Lian Niang, put on your cloak, otherwise you will freeze your body.
Yeah - you stinky girl, don't put snowballs into your mother's clothes. Is your butt itchy again?
Don't run, stop for me. "
"Giggle...Mom, come and chase me!"
Just after passing through the archway of the inner courtyard, Chen Jie's soft and helpless words mixed with Liu Lianniang's giggles came out, and it was clearly transmitted to the ears of Liu and Young Master Liu.
Gao Jin stopped and staggered slightly: "Your Majesty, the empress and mistress Lian Niang are inside.
The old slave will not go in. If anything happens, just ask the maid to greet the old slave. "
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
"Yes, I will resign, old slave."
Liu Mingzhi walked towards the source of the sound with a faint smile on his face. At a glance, he saw Chen Jie and Liu Lianniang, mother and daughter, chasing each other in the small garden in the inner courtyard.
Liu Lianniang, who is already three years old, is wearing a festive bright red brocade mandarin duck coat on her upper body, a showy pink skirt on her lower body and a decent little jacket on her upper body.
Two cute buns were tied with red ribbons, and the hair and red ribbons were dancing up and down as the little girl ran.
Chen Jie in the back was wearing a simple pale white Yunluo shirt, holding a small and exquisite fox fur cloak in her hands as she chased Liu Lianniang in front.
"Huh... stinky girl, put on the cloak immediately, mother is really angry."
Liu Lianniang, who frequently looked back to observe the distance between her mother and her mother, did not notice that Young Master Liu was approaching her with a smile, trotting while waving the snowball in his hand to threaten Chen Jie not to come near.
"If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. Lian Niang doesn't want to wear it. It's too hot to wear. Mother, Lian Niang will wear it when she's cold. Please stop chasing me, okay?"
Be careful, Lian Niang will stuff the white snowball on your breasts into your chest later before mom kisses you...ah...who is blocking me...daddy? "
Liu Lianniang, who threw herself into Young Master Liu's arms, raised her head and looked blankly, trying to see who was blocking her in front of her.
When she saw Young Master Liu staring at her with a loving look, the little girl immediately started to smile, grabbed her father's collar and started jumping up and down.
"Dad, you are back to see Lian Niang again. Lian Niang misses you so much."
Looking down at Little Lianniang's slightly red right hand holding Xueqiu, Young Master Liu picked her up and wrapped her thin body in a big cloak.
"Girl, are you naughty again? Your mother is so angry. Is your butt itchy again?"
Little Lian Niang smiled and put her little head under Mr. Liu's neck and twisted: "No, no, Lian Niang is not naughty, Lian Niang is playing games with my mother.
It’s my mother who is too fierce and has been chasing after my mother-in-law!
It's so scary, but she is not willing to spank Lian Niang at all, hehe. "
Chen Jie reacted from the shock of Young Master Liu's sudden appearance, looked at the warm appearance of the father and daughter, and greeted them with a slight smile on her lips.
Habitually raising her hand to fiddle with Liu Mingzhi's slightly tilted collar, Chen Jie looked at Liu Da with soft eyes and smiled lightly.
"What? Didn't you go to court today?"
From the initial tangled psychology of having to have an affair due to some reasons, to getting along with each other as normal after having children.
After more than three years of hard work, Chen Jieran has integrated herself into the identity of a wife.
Liu Mingzhi held Liu Lianniang in one hand and held Chen Jie's wrist in the other and walked toward the room: "Still going to court? Today is the New Year's break."
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment and nodded clearly.
"Has another year passed so quickly? I stayed at the house and watched Lian Niang grow up day by day. Before I knew it, another year had passed."
After walking to the side and sitting down on a chair, Liu Mingzhi picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Liu Lianniang's hand.
"Girl, if you don't throw the snowball away, your little hands will really freeze if you hold it again."
"Yes, yes, yes, please listen to daddy."
Liu Lianniang slipped off her father's body, raised her little hand, and threw the snowball in her hand toward the door.
"Dad, do you want some tea? Can Lian Niang pour you some tea?"
"No, no, no, no, you're not as tall as a stove.
If you burn your hand again, daddy can do it himself. Eat your pastries. The more you eat, the faster you will grow. When you grow taller, you can pour tea for daddy, okay? "
"Yes, yes, yes, Lian Niang must grow taller quickly, and then she can pour tea for her father and mother herself."
