Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Ying knew that there was a riding and archery lesson today, so she came to Chongwen Museum in advance.

He sat alone in the corner with a book in his hand, but his eyes glanced towards the door from time to time.

The other princes and princesses came one after another.

The fifth prince, Li Yan, came to Li Ying to provoke him as usual, but Li Ying ignored him. He didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, like an unconscious wooden stake.

Li Yan felt bored, and since this was the Chongwen Museum, he couldn't do too much, so he could only give up without interest.

The others had no interest in Li Ying, as they had never seen him as such.

King Zhao was the last one to come to Chongwen Hall.

As soon as he entered, Li Ying put down the book in his hand.

Li Ying stood up, looked past King Zhao, and looked behind him, as if looking for someone?

The result disappointed Li Ying.

There was nothing behind King Zhao, and there was no one there.

Ever since Li Ying learned that the person he was looking for was probably Hua Manman, he was in a trance every day, thinking many things over and over in his mind.

It's a pity that he has been grounded all this time, unable to ask Hua Manman for clarification.

He didn't lift the ban until yesterday.

He knew that Hua Manman would often dress up as a book boy and follow King Zhao into the palace, so he deliberately waited in the Chongwen Museum in advance, hoping to find a chance to have a face-to-face chat with Hua Manman.

However, only King Zhao came today.

Li Ying was so disappointed that he didn't see the person he wanted to see, so much so that he was in a daze during class.

Li Ji naturally noticed the strangeness of the fourth prince, but he didn't bother to care about it, he just pretended that he didn't know anything, and after the riding and archery class was over, he planned to call it a day and go home to accompany his wife.

Seeing that King Zhao had walked out of the Chongwen Hall, Li Ying still couldn't hold back and chased him out.

"King Zhao, please stay."

Li Ji stopped and looked back at him: "What's the matter?"

Li Ying said in a low voice: "I have something I want to tell you, but it's not convenient here, can we go to your house and discuss it in detail?"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Li Ying hesitated before saying.

"It's about Princess Zhao."

Li Jing looked at him steadily, and clearly heard him thinking in his heart——

"As long as I can enter Prince Zhao's Mansion, I will have a chance to meet her. I must ask her about that matter face to face."

Li Ji squinted his eyes and looked inquiringly: "What's wrong with my princess?"

Li Ying: "It's about the disappearance of Princess Zhao last time. I know some inside stories."

Before, Hua Manman fell on the side of the road, the pain was so painful that she was a little delirious.

He happened to pass by Hua Manman at that time, and saw Hua Manman's painful appearance with his own eyes. He guessed that Hua Manman might have some heart disease, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, and left indifferently after looking at it.

I don't know that Zhao Wangqing didn't know about Hua Manman's heart disease.

He might be able to use this incident to buy himself a chance to meet Hua Manman again.

Li Ji heard the other party's calculations clearly.

It turned out that the "her" that Li Ying wanted to see was Hua Manman.

Li Ji was very upset, and even his eyes became a little cold.

"How about this king's concubine, don't bother you, just take care of yourself."

After speaking, he withdrew his gaze and left without looking back.

Li Ying stood at the same spot and watched Zhao Wang's leaving back, his eyes gradually became dark.

Everyone said that King Zhao was moody, and it was true.

Obviously when he mentioned Princess Zhao, King Zhao was quite interested.

In just a blink of an eye, King Zhao suddenly changed his attitude.

The front and rear changes are very abrupt, and there is no reason for it.

Although he hit a wall with King Zhao, Li Ying refused to give up.

He squatted near Wangyuexuan, and finally squatted until Hua Jieyu appeared.

"Hua Jieyu, I have something I want to talk to you about, can I take a moment to talk?"

Hua Qingqing frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the fourth prince's brazen interruption, but because of the other prince's side, she didn't say much, but waved to the maids and nuns who followed her.

They backed away immediately, keeping a distance from Hua Jieyu.

This distance is just right, it can ensure that you can see Hua Jieyu, but you can't hear her conversation with the fourth prince, and by the way, it can also help them guard against other people seeing Hua Jieyu in private Interacting with the fourth prince caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

Hua Qingqing still had a gentle and peaceful look on her face, but her tone was very distant.

"I made an appointment with someone to go shopping in the garden together, so I can't be late, and I hope the fourth prince can finish talking quickly."

Li Ying didn't bother to be polite to her, so she asked.

"Eleven years ago, was your sister ever lost?"

Hua Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.

Only their own family knew about the missing second sister. How did the fourth prince know about it?

She replied calmly: "Never, why are you asking this?"

Li Ying stared at her closely: "Don't lie to me."

Hua Qingqing asked back: "Why am I lying to you? It doesn't do me any good."

Li Ying stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"This matter is very important to me. If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely make your life worse than death."

Hua Qingqing was terrified by his sinister eyes.

But soon she calmed down, anger appeared in her eyes, and her tone became harder and harder.

"I'm telling the truth, believe it or not!"

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at the Fourth Prince and left with a cold snort.

The maids and nuns who were standing not far away hurriedly followed.

Li Ying chose to leave in a direction completely opposite to theirs.

He returns to his lodgings.

As the most unfavored prince, the yard where he lived was overgrown with weeds, and the house looked particularly dilapidated due to years of disrepair.

Liang Yong, a young eunuch who was fetching water to wash clothes in the yard, saw the fourth prince coming back, and hurriedly dropped the wet clothes in his hand.

"My maidservant will go to the imperial dining room to get today's lunch for you."

The other princes have three meals a day who are in charge of them, and they don't need to worry about it, they will be delivered to them.

Only the fourth prince is different here, the imperial dining room never sends someone to deliver food to him, if he wants to eat, he has to get someone to get it.

There is only Liang Yong, an eunuch like Liang Yong, who can only be dispatched by his side. Whether it is washing clothes or going to the imperial dining room to fetch food, he has to do it alone.

Liang Yong looks small and inconspicuous, but he is actually a master, especially in lightness kung fu, and is also good at housework.

It's just that his mouth is a little bit broken, and he likes to chatter when he has nothing to do.

Li Ying said expressionlessly.

"I'm not hungry yet, so I won't eat lunch yet. You go out of the palace and help me with some errands."

Liang Yong wiped his wet hands: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Li Ying: "Go and check the Shangyuan Lantern Festival eleven years ago. Is anyone lost in Zhong'anbo Mansion?"

As soon as Liang Yong heard the word Lantern Festival, he knew that this matter must be related to the person the Fourth Prince was looking for.

His tubercular attributes suddenly flared up, and he couldn't help asking.

"Did Your Highness find that person? Is she from Zhong'anbo Mansion?"

Li Ying didn't answer, and went straight into the house.
