The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

Nangong Xu's voice came from outside the door.

"I have met Prince Xu."

"This slave/slave has met Prince Xu."

"Flat body."

Nangong Xu crossed the crowd and walked directly to Dongfang Li.

"Ali, do you still like it?"

"what?"

"If Ali likes these rewards from the palace, then keep them. If you don't like them, just deal with them casually."

"Keep it for now, you may need it later."

Dongfang Li rolled her eyes at Nangong Xu and asked people to move all the things away. Qiulian and others checked them before putting them into storage one by one.

Side garden.

"Why did you come here?"

"Ali seems to say this every time she sees me."

Nangong Xu frowned.

"Have it?"

"Forget it, why should I argue with you about this? The main reason I came here today is to ask what you mean."

Nangong Xu sat across from Dongfang Li, naturally took the tea set aside and started to make tea with warm water.

"What is it? Do you need to ask my opinion?"

Dongfang Li dragged his chin with his hands, eyes fixed on his hand making tea, and his eyes moved up, down, left and right along with his hands.

"General Dongfang will be back soon. I plan to start giving out the betrothal gifts after he comes back. Although everything is ready, the process before getting married will take more than a month, so I want to take advantage of the process. How do you feel about the time apart being shortened appropriately?"

After Nangong Xu finished speaking, the first tea soup in his hand was handed to Dongfang Li.

"I don't care about these things. I'm sure my grandpa won't care either. Just watch the arrangements."

Dongfang Li drank the tea in his hand with satisfaction.

"it is good."

The eleventh month of the lunar calendar.

Dongfang Changqing returned home despite the first clear snowfall in the imperial capital.

"When my father comes back, no one will inform him in advance."

Dongfang Li looked at his father who suddenly appeared at home, and was obviously stunned for a moment.

The one who was more surprised than her was naturally Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu's eyes were filled with tears after not seeing her for a year.

"Zhiqin (Aunt Liu's maiden name), I'm back..."

With a simple "I'm back", Aunt Liu's defense was broken instantly, her tears were like a broken thread and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

"The children are all here, and they are not afraid of being laughed at for crying like this."

Dongfang Changqing reached out and wiped the tears from Aunt Liu's face.

"Li'er..."

Is there Dongfang Li's figure behind him? Except for him and Aunt Liu, everyone in the front hall had already left at some point.

"The children have grown up..."

Dongfang Changqing shook his head helplessly.

The next day.

The General's Mansion has been extremely lively since the morning. Aunt Liu arranged for the servants to clean in an orderly manner, and also asked Dongfang Li and Dongfang Jiao to come over for breakfast.

The last time the family sat down to have a meal together was during the Chinese New Year, and now it's the New Year's Eve again.

"Father, try this. My aunt learned this a few days ago."

Dongfang Jiao put a piece of tender tofu into Dongfang Changqing's bowl.

"Okay, let me try it and see how it tastes."

Dongfang Changqing took a bite and nodded.

"Well, yes, yes."

"Since it's pretty good, how about giving it a try, young lady?"

Aunt Liu took a piece and put it into Dongfang Li's bowl.

"Okay, thank you auntie."

Looking at the tofu in the bowl, Dongfang Li fell into deep thought. Maybe he should let go of some things.

ink house.

"Big brother..."

Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, Dongfang Li walked through the corridor to the backyard.

"Li'er is here."

Mo Ziyu was playing chess with Mo Ziyan. When he heard the sound, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Cousin Li'er."

Mo Ziyan stood up and greeted him.

"Cousin, please help me figure out what to do next. The elder brother bullies the younger ones and won't give in to me no matter what."

"My eldest brother's chess skills were taught by my grandpa himself. It's not easy for us to win."

Dongfang Li said, sitting where Mo Ziyu had just been.

Mo Ziyan's chess pieces on the chessboard have been tightly surrounded, and they are about to be completely annihilated.

Dongfang Li stared at the chessboard for a long time, then picked up the white piece that Mo Ziyan used just now and dropped it.

With a few simple steps, the dilemma in the chess game was quickly solved.

"Cousin Li'er is so amazing!"

Mo Ziyan's eyes were filled with little stars of admiration.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years. Li'er's chess skills have improved a lot."

After the game of chess was played, there was no doubt that Mo Ziyu won, but he couldn't help but praise Dongfang Li.

Dongfang Li smiled and did not answer.

"Li'er came here today. What's the matter?"

Mo Ziyu asked aloud while collecting the chess pieces.

"I can't hide anything from brother. I came here today. I really have something I want to discuss with brother."

"Go ahead and listen."

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Mo Ziyu raised his head and glanced at her.

"Brother, I have thought a lot in the past few days since my father came back. My mother has been dead for many years, and my father has been away from home all year round. Aunt Liu has always been in charge of the house."

"Now that your prince and I are about to get married, Jiaojiao is about to get her haircut..."

Dongfang Li looked at Mo Ziyu with some embarrassment.

"I understand what Li'er means, but you have to know that a truly wealthy family has never had a precedent of straightening up the concubines. Even if you don't care about it and the Mo family doesn't care, when it comes to it, it is the General's Mansion and your father who are ugly. ."

"That's why I want my eldest brother to help me make an idea, and I'm a little worried..."

"Worried that your grandfather and your two uncles won't agree?"

"I'm afraid that grandpa and uncles will be sad..."

Dongfang Li lowered his head, looking lonely.

"Li'er, although our Mo family are all scholars, we are not pedantic. My grandfather and father won't care about these things. My aunt is gone, so there is no point in guarding these superficial things, right?"

Mo Ziyu walked over and patted Dongfang Li on the shoulder.

"If you want to give Aunt Liu some face, the stepmother is definitely not acceptable. It will make people criticized. Why don't you... raise a wife? Below the stepmother and above the aunt, although she is also a concubine, if she goes out, it will be better. If she can straighten her waist, her daughter will be looked upon favorably by others when she gets married in the future."

"Brother is still thoughtful, so the matter is settled."

Dongfang Li looked at Mo Ziyu gratefully.

"Well, I will tell you about my grandfather and father's side in advance so that they can be mentally prepared. It's just Li'er... do you really not mind?"

"Brother, she has treated me well over the years, and I will be living in Prince Xu's Mansion soon..."

Dongfang Li didn't have the slightest reluctance. She had long thought of raising Aunt Liu's status. After her father came back a few days ago, this idea became even stronger, because she saw that Dongfang Changqing's temples had already With some gray hair...

"As long as Li'er doesn't feel wronged."
