Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Princess Ningyang then asked about another matter.

"Now that the fighting has stopped, it's time to reopen the city gate, right?"

It is not a problem to block the city gate all the time, it will easily cause panic among the people.

Li Ji had other plans for this, and said casually: "Wait a little longer."

Now Ah Qi is still hiding in the city, once the city gate is reopened, Ah Qi will have a chance to sneak out of the city.

Therefore, Li Ji wanted to get Ah Qi out before reopening the city gate.

Princess Ningyang asked again: "What about Xun'er? When do you plan to bring him back?"

Li Ji actually doesn't really want to bring Goudan back soon, because once Goudan comes back, he and Manman won't be able to live in a two-person world, and that kid will definitely try his best to grab Manman's attention, which is very annoying!

But you can't leave the dog egg outside the city, after all, Manman will be worried.

Li Ji responded unwillingly.

"I'll send someone to pick him up later."

Princess Ningyang looked at him helplessly: "Xun'er is your only son, you should treat him better."

Li Ji asked back: "Did I treat him badly?"

Princess Ningyang said angrily.

"You have to ask yourself, look at your current appearance, when you mention Xun'er, it's not like you're talking about your own son, it's more like talking about your rival in love, the impatience is all written on your face , I want to pretend that I can’t see it.”

Li Ji thought to himself, in a certain way, Goudan is more annoying than a rival in love.

He responded perfunctorily: "Really?"

Princess Ningyang wentssiped with him a few more times before getting up to leave.

Li Ji asked symbolically: "Won't my aunt stay and finish lunch before leaving?"

Princess Ningyang looked at him with a smile.

"Not bad, you actually know how to keep someone for dinner?"

She knew that this was just a polite remark, but for Li Ji who always liked to go his own way, it was very rare to be able to take the initiative to say such a polite remark.

Li Ji rarely showed some discomfort.

He coughed lightly in disguise: "You helped me a lot before, so I have to thank you anyway."

Princess Ningyang smiled more kindly.

"Your grandmother and I used to be good friends in the boudoir, and I watched your biological father grow up. Now that they are gone, I should take care of you more on their behalf."

She paused, and couldn't help but persuade a few more words.

"It's good for you to be like this now, and you should be like this in the future. Don't speak too aggressively, and save some face for others, even if it's just a superficial courtesy. I don't want you to be smooth and sophisticated, I just want you to see more Look at the bright side of the world and stop being as extreme as you used to be."

Li Ji replied seriously: "I understand."

Princess Ningyang was very pleased to see that he could listen to what she said.

She stood up with the help of the maid.

"I won't eat. I worked all night last night, and I look very tired. I want to go back and have a good rest."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"In the end, I am old, and my body is not as good as before. When I was your age, it didn't matter if I didn't sleep all night."

Li Ji looked at her gray hair, and her red eyes from staying up late, thinking that she was so old that she had to work hard for her own affairs, and almost lost her life for it, and felt guilty in her heart Besides, I was very moved.

In the past, he always believed paranoidly that everyone in the world was cold, and even close relatives were not worthy of trust.

Only then did he realize that he was blinded by hatred, so he couldn't see the kindness of the people around him.

He didn't say anything, and took the initiative to step forward to hold Princess Ningyang's arm.

Princess Ningyang was startled when she saw this, and then laughed again.

Li Ji helped her out of the Regent's Palace.

Before getting into the car, Princess Ningyang talked about Mu Qing.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and Mu Qing's life was saved, but the residual poison in her body has not completely dissipated, her body is still weak, and she needs to rest for a while.

"I asked someone to take Mu Qing to the Princess Mansion, and let her stay with me to recuperate temporarily. After she recovers, I will ask her where she wants to go."

Princess Ningyang actually wanted to keep Mu Qing by her side, but she was afraid that Mu Qing would not want to, so in the end it was up to Mu Qing's own wishes.

Li Ji nodded, indicating that he knew.

After seeing off Princess Ningyang, Li Ji ordered someone to invite Li Liao over.

He explained two things to Li Liao.

"Choose a few people to pick up Goudan and go home, and pass on an order to offer a reward for the capture of Xiliang Prince Xiao Qi throughout the process. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and anyone who captures this person alive will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

Li Liao knew that the Xiao Qi he was talking about was Ah Qi, so he responded immediately.

"I'll do it now."

Last night, because of Ah Qi's secret tricks, the Xuanjia Army and the defenders of Tianjing City almost fought.

If that battle really breaks out, I don't know how many people will die.

Every time Li Liao thought of this, his teeth itch with hatred, he must teach that kid a lesson!

Manman slept until noon.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the man sitting silently beside the bed, and she couldn't help being stunned.

"How long have you been sitting here?"

Li Ji: "Not long."

Hua Manman looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

She seriously suspected that the dog man had been sitting here staring at her for a long time.

This is something he can do!

Hearing her inner voice, Li Ji raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you scolding me in your heart again?"

Hua Manman touched his nose, almost forgetting that he still has mind reading skills.

She quickly changed the subject.

"I'm hungry."

Li Ji didn't pursue the fact that she scolded him for being a dog in his heart, he stretched out his hand to help her up, and said: "The kitchen has already been prepared for lunch, do you plan to eat here, or go to the dining room?"

Hua Manman said without hesitation.

"eat here."

Li Ji knew she was too lazy to move, so he smiled silently: "Okay."

Siyun put a low table on the bed, and she and Qinghuan filled the table with hot and delicious meals.

Because Manman's body is still relatively weak, the meals prepared for her in the kitchen are relatively light and easier to digest.

Li Ji personally served Manman a bowl of chicken soup.

"Let's have some soup first."

Hua Manman took the bowl and drank it happily.

Because of the movement of lowering her head, her long hair slid down her shoulders, making her look a bit in the way.

Li Ji asked someone to fetch a jade hairpin, and pulled up Man Man's hair himself.

Fingers with sharp bones inserted through the long black hair, held it little by little, and gathered it into a simple bun, and then gently inserted the hosta into it to fix the bun.

The man lowered his eyes to look at Man Man, seeing that she was still drinking the soup seriously, he couldn't help but smile softly in his eyes.

The sunlight fell on the two of them through the window, coating them with a light golden soft light.

From a distance, it seems that the two are shining.

Seeing this scene, Siyun and Qinghuan who were standing by could not help but hold their breath, for fear of disturbing this beautiful scene.
