The next day, the queen told the emperor about this matter. After hearing this, Emperor Xiaojing said, "Queen, let's suppress this matter first."
After the queen heard this, she knew in her heart that her majesty did not approve of this marriage.
"Your Majesty, Pei Zhi will be at your Majesty's side after spring. In this regard, it is really best to ask their family about their intentions."
Emperor Xiaojing took a sip of tea.
Pei Zhi is now nineteen. According to others at his age, he would have been married and had children long ago.
Li Nan has no wife at his current age purely because of his intellectual problems. All things combined.
But even without a wife, there are already several rooms for concubines in the house.
Pei Zhi was completely different in this aspect. He had no wives, concubines, and children, and was only an adopted son. Emperor Xiaojing always felt that Pei Zhi might be a little unusual towards his little sister.
Pei Zhi was the person around him, and if he wanted Pei Zhi to do things for him with peace of mind, he would inevitably have to interfere in these matters.
——
Jiangzhou purposely did not go out today and turned around to go to Wanliyuan.
What Ali said yesterday seemed to make sense, but no matter what, he still felt something was wrong.
There was another thing that Ali hadn't considered.
Although Pei Zhi is not related, with his current power, if the two of them are really together in the future, if something goes wrong, with Pei Zhi's temperament, who knows what will happen.
Jiang Zhou has always been very aware of these things, so when he was at home, he often taught him not to be rude to Pei Zhi.
Now I see that my previous worries were not wrong at all.
He had just stepped into the yard, it was still very early, when he saw a bamboo umbrella placed outside the door.
Someone has been here?
There was no one guarding the outside of the yard. He put down his bamboo umbrella and called inside: "Ali?"
Hearing the noise, a boy came out——
At this moment, inside the study.
Jiang Li just woke up not long ago. The third brother was looking for her early this morning and could not tolerate her. He directly asked someone to bring her to the study room, saying that the two of them had been together these days and had slacked off on their previous homework.
It was useless for Jiang Li to act coquettishly at him.
She understood in her heart that the third brother was secretly unhappy because of what happened yesterday, so he had to come up with such a method. It was really childish.
There was a bit of confusion in her eyes, and she held her chin with her hands: "Third brother, it's so early, I can't learn."
Pei Zhi was unmoved: "The day's plan starts in the morning, and you will gradually get used to it."
He didn't know how to stay with a little girl every day. Although he seemed quite experienced in the past, he had always used tricks to tease and bluff people.
If the two of them were to stay together like this, Pei Zhi actually didn't know what to do, so he might as well teach the little girl to read seriously.
It would be good for the little girl to just teach some practical things.
After Jiang Li heard this, she lay helplessly on the table. There was really nothing she could do to take her third brother seriously.
Hearing noises from outside the courtyard, Qiantan came in and reported, "Miss, the eldest young master is here."
Jiang Li then regained her energy and stood up suddenly. Why did her elder brother come to see her so early?
She was confused, but a little happy. Although her elder brother came early, it was just right for her. She just didn't want to read these complicated books.
She looked at Pei Zhi with hope in her eyes: "Third brother, the eldest brother must have something to do when he comes to see me. I will deal with it first."
After saying that, he left without any hesitation.
Pei Zhi looked at the book and the empty space in front of him, and frowned.
When Jiang Zhou was about to shout, he saw his little sister running out from the other side with cheerful steps, as if she had finally gotten rid of something.
There was a hint of hope in his tone: "Brother, you must have something to come to me for. I have time now!"
Jiang Zhou coughed: "There is nothing else important."
"When I went shopping yesterday, I got a very good piece of material. I thought you might like it, so I asked you to pick it out."
"Brother, if that's the case, let's go pick one up."
Jiang Li couldn't wait to pull him away, and Pei Zhi's voice came from behind.
"Brother."
Jiang Zhou's face turned cold when he saw him.
Yesterday's scene appeared before my eyes again.
He had been thinking about it last night, whether the little sister didn't know anything. After all, the little sister didn't have any experience in this area.
If the little sister was deceived by him, she would have to settle the score with him.
He said deliberately: "Pei Zhi, why are you here?"
Pei Zhi walked over to this side without any flaws: "Brother, I forgot, my grandmother told me before that she asked me to tutor Jiang Li in her studies."
Jiang Li nodded: "Brother, it's true."
Jiang Zhou still disagreed: "There's no need to do it so early."
How old he is, even if Jiang Li is unaware of this aspect, it is impossible for Pei Zhi to understand everything.
Jiang Li burst into tears when she heard these words. She hurriedly grabbed her eldest brother's big hand and said in a very agreeable tone: "Brother, what you said is absolutely right!"
Pei Zhi did not back down at all in this regard: "Brother, the day's plan lies in the morning. She is just too slack, so I want to catch her."
When Jiang Li heard this, she looked at Jiang Zhou with pitiful eyes.
Jiang Zhou saw his little sister's pitiful appearance and said, "If she doesn't want to, then she won't learn."
As he said this, he wanted to pull Jiang Li away, and Jiang Li also wanted to follow him, but when he saw Pei Zhi looking at him with a dark face, he felt timid again.
Yesterday, when my cousin came to look for me, I explained it clearly to him and was still jealous for a long time. If I really left with my eldest brother today and left him here, I would probably think of some way to torture myself tomorrow. .
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath.
Alas, the third brother is really uncertain, and only he can bear it.
She let go of Jiang Zhou's arm and said in a somewhat sad tone, "Forget it, big brother, let's go next time."
When these expressions fell into Jiang Zhou's eyes, he thought it was his little sister who dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and the idea in his heart became even stronger.
This boy is really bullying his little sister!
Pei Zhi looked at Jiang Zhou's unkind eyes and asked:? ? ?
Jiang Zhou wanted to say something more, but Jiang Li pushed him away hurriedly: "Brother, I'll go see him in the afternoon. Third brother is right, the best plan for the day is in the morning."
Pei Zhi's expression softened slightly.
——
Jiang Zhou looked at the closed door of Wanliyuan and felt confused. He calmed down and went to Mrs. Jiang's place first.
——
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Zhou who was pushed out by her, and secretly apologized in her heart: I'm sorry, brother. If you want to blame it, blame the third brother for being too difficult to coax.
She turned her head and said with a hint of humor: "Third brother, you must not be angry this time."
Pei Zhi chuckled: "In your mind, I am such a stingy person."
Jiang Li subconsciously wanted to nod. The third brother is not so stingy!
But his head shook like a rattle: "No, third brother is not stingy. Third brother is the most generous person in my heart."
After Pei Zhi heard this, he raised his head and said, "In that case, let's go in and study."
When Jiang Li heard this, she put her head together and went in.
When she was with her third brother, she always felt that there was no difference from the past.
It's just that he went to Hanshui courtyard instead of Pei Zhi coming to save Liyuan.
Jiang Li felt like crying but had no tears in her heart.
