Li Qingyi's reason was very high-sounding, "The princess is my biological mother after all. She feels guilty and wants to make it up to me. As a daughter, I can't keep rejecting her thousands of miles away."
Li Miaoran seemed to understand, "Yes, my sister is about to get married, but she can't have a reputation of being unfilial. However, the princess is not treating you well, so you should come back quickly. Anyway, she was the one who was unkind and unjust. We can’t let ourselves suffer just to make others feel comfortable!”
Li Qingyi couldn't help laughing. This sister seemed naive, but she was actually very wise and foolish.
After appeasing his younger brothers and sisters, Li Qingyi was ready to go out to find Qin Zeng.
Don't delay getting down to business.
Changning was puzzled for a while, "How did the girl know there was a hidden whistle?"
Just now, Li Qingyi asked her to find a secret sentry to ask if the Lord was at home in the afternoon, so she wanted to ask.
"Master Qin is the admiral of Dongchang. Isn't it strange that there is no secret whistle?"
"That's true... Your Excellency said he would be at home in the afternoon, so he just asked you to come over."
In fact, what Chang Ning wanted to say was that the first-rank officials in the court had to send notices in advance if they wanted to see the adults. Miss Li said that if she wanted to see the adults, she would just go to the adults, but the adults actually met her...
Li Qingyi didn't think as much as Chang Ning thought.
Perhaps because of her previous life, she was not really afraid of Qin Zeng, so she acted much more casually.
And she also acted based on Qin Zeng's attitude. If Qin Zeng kept her thousands of miles away, then she would definitely not hang around in front of him all the time. But Qin Zeng didn't reject her, so why was she still coy?
Soon we arrived at Qin Mansion.
This time Qin Zeng was not in the execution chamber and met Li Qingyi in the study.
When she entered, Qin Zeng was writing something without raising his head or eyes.
Li Qingyi was very discerning and stepped forward to grind the ink for him, grinding the ink very fine and smooth, and then asked in a very silly way, "Sir, do you think this ink is still useful after grinding it?"
Qin Zeng glanced at Na Mo and said, "It's okay."
Li Qingyi was proud, and the "make do" in his words meant satisfaction.
She immediately flattered him and said, "Master Qin said it's okay, so I'm satisfied."
The corners of Qin Zeng's lips curled up slightly, "You are quite easy to satisfy."
Li Qingyi smiled.
Qin Zeng raised his thin eyelids and looked at her: "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Well, I just wanted to ask, why hasn't it taken so long for me to figure out how to thank you? I can't wait to thank you!"
Qin Zeng wanted to dig out her heart and see how many grooves there were. How could he make this up?
"to be honest."
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "I have a small favor and I need Mr. Qin's help. Don't worry, I will sincerely thank you afterwards. You can also thank me twice and thank you one big time."
Qin Zeng snorted, saying neither yes nor no, "Let's talk about things first."
Li Qingyi knew that he didn't like those empty ones, so he took out the memorial directly from his sleeve pocket and said without beating around the bush, "My second uncle wants to meet the emperor. Can Mr. Qin help me hand over a memorial?"
Qin Zeng glanced at the fold and understood what was going on without even thinking, "Are you afraid that someone will stop you?"
Li Qingyi nodded. This coupon must not have been handed over in the previous life, otherwise it would not have stirred up the water at all, and she didn't even know about it.
"I don't trust the Wei family. Once the Wei family knows that my second uncle can still talk to the emperor, they will inevitably do something."
Wei Shicheng wanted Li Qingyi to have a higher status, but he had to give it to him and not let the Li family rise on their own. Otherwise, how could Li Qingyi be grateful to him?
It is not surprising that Qin Zeng heard that Li Qingyi was on guard against the Wei family.
He listened to Changning Changlan's reports on Li Qingyi's every move every day, and already knew what the traitor Wei Shicheng planned to do with Li Qingyi.
What he was curious about was that Li Qingyi actually didn't shy away from Changning Changlan about anything, and openly showed him all her conspiracies.
"If you are worried, you can open it and have a look."
Li Qingyi pushed the fold forward.
Qin Zeng took the folder and looked through it. There was nothing particularly important in it. He just stated his identity and asked to see the emperor.
He had already sent people to investigate the Li family. The two most eye-catching things about the Li family were that the old Marquis Xuande spoke for the guilty minister, King Zhenbei, and then his family withdrew from the court, and that Li Qingyi's father had an affair with Yuanheng County. It’s the Lord’s business.
Now that Li Yong wants to see the emperor, he most likely wants to become an official in the court.
Since his note was handed directly to the emperor, he was sure that the emperor would meet him. This also proves from the side that when the Li family left Beijing, the emperor did not blame Marquis Xuande as rumored, but had another hidden agenda.
Does this also prove that what happened in the Zhenbei Palace back then had another hidden secret?
"grown ups?"
Qin Zeng suddenly came to his senses when he heard that Li Qingyi had replaced him.
He actually lost his mind in front of this little girl?
Qin Zeng's face turned dark.
Li Qingyi saw the sudden change in his expression and touched his nose. Did he say anything wrong just now?
Before she could figure it out, Qin Zeng said, "Follow me to a place."
Li Qingyi frowned. Last time she followed him and went to worship his mother inexplicably. Where was she going this time?
Not long after, Nagasawa brought in a tray with this set of men's clothing on it.
Qin Zeng motioned for Li Qingyi to change.
Li Qingyi wondered where he was taking her!
However, she didn't hesitate too much. She happily went to the guest room to change her clothes, and then went out with Qin Zeng.
When they arrived at the place, Li Qingyi almost vomited blood.
Qin Zeng actually took her to visit the Flower House? ? !
Doubts remain doubts. Li Qingyi has never been to this place in his two lifetimes, and his eyes are full of curiosity.
Listening to the comments from the surrounding guests, Li Qingyi knew that today was the day when the major flower houses in the capital competed for the top spot.
Is it possible that Qin Zeng has some confidante here?
Li Qingyi's little brows furrowed, "Master Qin actually has the leisure to join in such fun."
"Linjiang Tower is the number one brothel in the capital. It is not a brothel, nor is it a place of obscenity. Choosing a leader once every five years is a rare event. Not everyone can enter the inner building to have a look. The inner building is a special place. For VIPs.”
Li Qingyi did not comment and followed Qin Zeng into the inner building. The elegant rooms above were luxurious.
But before she could take a closer look at the situation around her, her eyes widened and she said, "Too...well, there are too many people..."
Qin Zeng glanced at her and knew that she had seen the prince, "You have good eyesight. You can recognize him when he is painted like that?"
"...It's probably because of the way he painted it that he attracted attention..."
Li Qingyi thought to himself, no wonder Qin Zeng came to a place like this. It turned out that he was here to capture the prince.
It’s also a big event that happens once every five years. How could a prince with such a temper not come to join in the fun!
Moreover, the last time the oiran was chosen, the prince was still a child, so he must have never been here before.
The two entered the private room, and Li Qingyi looked out of Qian's screen window.
Linjiang Tower occupies a vast area and is meticulously crafted. There are large swathes of short pine trees standing among the rocks in the garden. There are pines, springs, and stones, and there is a kind of poetry floating in the world. Today, all the flower halls in Linjiang Tower have wide doors and windows on all sides. Summer flowers pile up outside the windows to create brilliant colors. Two words are painted on the walls of the flower hall, One sentence is: the golden cauldron is boiling with gurgling water, the hall is quiet, the pines are blown by the white spring. One sentence is: dragons and phoenixes are flying in the clouds, fragrant mist is rising, and they are flying beside the moon.
Li Qingyi murmured: "This 100% poetic feeling is indeed refreshing."
Qin Zeng heard her words and said: "If it is not elegant enough, how can it attract high-ranking officials and nobles to come and be arty? Even the princes set foot here openly?"
Prince?
Li Qingyi had a gut feeling that he was not referring to the prince, and the prince's big painted face could not be called "generous".
She glanced around and narrowed her eyes.
The fourth prince?
