The game of chess continued, and no one took this matter to heart. Li Changning and the others had long known about it. As for Mo Xin, she originally had the intention of coming here for a marriage alliance. It was normal for her to fall in love with Xie Xingyun.
Li Dan thought that since his father valued his cousin, why would he allow him to come along personally? After thinking about it carefully, he could guess what he meant. Aunt Jingâan was in a hurry to get Xie Xingyun engaged. She had probably chosen all the suitable girls in the capital. Since the Princess had chosen, then the Princess of Daqing naturally could too.
Li Chun smiled and glanced at them. âCousin, I heard that you havenât had a single woman by your side all these years. Is that true?â
Li Yi rolled his eyes at him. âHow could it be false? Cousin is like a banished immortal. How could he mess around before he got married?â
âThere are a few considerate people in my residence. Itâs not that Iâm speaking crudely, but according to the rules passed down from the ancestors, while one canât mess around outside, itâs not impossible to keep a concubine in oneâs residence.â Prince Kang, Li Jing, had been keeping a low profile for the past few days. He looked listless and his eyelids were dark.
However, at the mention of these things, he became excited. âThere are quite a lot of beautiful women in my residence. If you want them, I can send you a few likable ones.â
Everyone in the capital knew about the flirtatious reputation of Prince Kang, Li Jing. However, he had a noble status and no one dared to touch him. If Ji Shuang was not Prince Pingnanâs biological granddaughter, it would not have been so easy to take her away from his residence previously.
Li Chun was the first to reject him, but he still smiled. âDonât, Third Brother. Iâm still young, but you have to take it easy. Your health is more important.â
âYouâre not young anymore. Father already had our eldest brother at this time.â Li Jing did not think much of it.
Li Changning was impatient. âWhat are you guys talking about? Canât you see that Iâm still here?â
âStop it all. Letâs talk about something fun.â Li Dan laughed and said, âSeventh Brother, have you finished your homework?â
Li Chun was stunned, and the others revealed gloating expressions.
âI remember that the Grand Tutor had said previously that if you still do not finish it this time, heâll report you to Father, in which case, Iâm afraid these few days will probably be the last time you have a break.â
Li Chun said gloomily, âBut shouldnât we be working for the Great Kui now? Why do we still have to copy books!â
âOne can understand a person through his words. Arenât you used to copying them from a young age? Besides, itâs not unreasonable to say that the meaning of a book comes from reading it a hundred times.â
Li Ye could not help but laugh. âSeventh Brotherâs handwriting is indeed too sloppy. I think the Grand Tutor is still being merciful.â
Li Chun was unconvinced. âAre you all done copying?â
Everyone looked at him with pity.
Li Chun,ââ¦â
âYouâre all too much. We should share blessings and hardships together!â Li Chun was a little anxious. âI still have 200 poems. Someone, quickly bring me paper!â
âIs Seventh Brother going to copy them now?â
âIâll return to Imperial College the day after tomorrow. Iâm afraid 1 wonât be able to make it in time.â
Li Chunâs face darkened. âI thought all of you hadnât copied them!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that his hair was about to explode, Li Yi could not help but laugh.
He smiled and everyone laughed. The pavilion was filled with laughter. Li Jing also smiled. When the atmosphere turned lively, everyone became especially relaxed and bold.
Li Jing looked towards the man with his eyes closed. âCousin, youâve been living like a monk all these years. If youâre too embarrassed to go looking for someone else, you can come to me. Tell me what kind of person you like. Iâll keep an eye out for you. If thereâs a suitable one, 1â11 send her to your residence immediately.â
Xie Xingyun looked up coldly.
When Li Jing saw him open his eyes, he presumed that he had hit the nail on the head. He said excitedly, âA few days ago, I obtained an adorable dancer from a merchant in the Western Region. That water snake waist, tsk tsk tsk.â
Li Dan said, âLook at how you are droolingâ¦â
Li Jing waved his hand and said ambiguously, âNo, no. I canât bear to. If Cousin wants her, 1â11 send her to your residence today.â
Mo Xinâs expression was ugly. Li Changning was so angry that she reprimanded, âThird Brother! What nonsense are you talking about!â
âIâm just being kind.â
Li Changning was already holding her breath. She immediately jumped down from her seat and kicked Li Jing. Li Yi and the others tried to smooth things over.
âForget it, forget it. It was all a joke.â
âAlright, stop it. Donât fool around!â
Li Jing really rolled down from his seat when she pushed him. He almost rolled into the water. His expression was dark.
Because the soil was a little moist, he had a few wet footprints on him. It was quite comical.
âLi, Chang, Ning!â
Li Dan and the others were in a hurry to stop the fight. However, when they turned around, Li Jingâs face looked like it had been smeared with coal..
