Chapter 375 Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Clan
Li Ji returned to his ancestral home and stayed in the palace.
The Queen Mother invited Su Li and her family to stay for a family dinner, but Su Li declined.
on the way home.
Su Li sat in the carriage in silence.
Pei Heng was afraid that she would be sad, so he hugged her and comforted her:
"Madam, the Imperial Palace and Duke Dingguo's Mansion are only a few blocks away. If you miss Huan'er, you can come to the palace to see him every day. The Queen Mother has even given you a special waist badge, so you don't need to be summoned to the palace."
Su Li stroked the badge in his hand and smiled bitterly.
"I'm fine. I just think of it as my son growing up and moving into a new house. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon..."
Ever since Pei Huan took over Huan Ge'er's body, she felt that Huan Ge'er was no longer Huan Ge'er. Although the two of them had opened up, there was still a layer of distance between them.
She...misses Brother Huan.
Pei Heng patted her shoulder.
"Brother Huan has endured a lot with me. Now that he can return to his ancestral home and regain his status as a prince, we should be happy for him. Ah Li, don't worry, Brother Huan is a loyal and righteous child, he won't forget you."
"kindness!"
……
at the same time.
In the palace.
Li Ji sat in his new bedroom, watching the stone spinning around excitedly, touching here and there.
Shi Tou never thought that he would follow a random master, and this master turned out to be a prince. He also rose to prominence and became the prince's guard.
He touched the majestic soft armor on his body, and the excitement in his heart was hard to suppress.
"Sir... Oh, no, Your Highness, I'm not dreaming! Are we, are we going to live in the palace now?"
Every day feels as unreal as a dream.
"Stone,"
Li Ji sat at his desk and shouted,
"How's the matter that I asked you to inquire about?"
Hearing Li Ji's question, Shitou quickly straightened his expression and said with a bow:
"Your Highness, they are already on their way back."
After thinking for a while, Shi Tou hesitated again and said:
"Your Highness, they are Duke Dingguo's family after all. Do we really want to take action against them? Wouldn't this be bad?"
Li Ji raised his head and gave Shi Tou a cold look.
Shitou felt a chill all over his body and shivered involuntarily. He then heard Li Ji say:
"If you are soft-hearted, go back to Duke Dingguo today. I don't need you to serve me anymore."
This sentence frightened Shitou so much that he fell to his knees with a plop, and said repeatedly:
"Your Highness, please forgive me! Shitou knows he was wrong. Shitou is your Highness's man in life and your ghost in death. I will follow you for the rest of my life. Shitou will never say such things again."
"In that case, go and do your own thing."
Li Ji waved his hand.
Stone retreated in a hurry.
It was a midsummer night, but a thin layer of sweat appeared on my back and my clothes were soaked.
The young master has become a completely different person since he came back from Dali.
I really can't understand the stone.
But he knew that he was just a servant. If he had done something wrong in the past, the young master might have forgiven him. But if he did something wrong again now, he was afraid that the young prince would turn around and kill him.
afraid!
……
The Queen Mother's palace.
"I've finally put my mind at ease. Seeing Ji'er being well-behaved and sensible, I feel like I've seen your elder brother as a child again."
The Queen Mother is in a good mood today.
Looking at Li Ji, he felt a lot of emotion and pulled the emperor to tell him many interesting stories about Li Qian and his childhood.
"Mother, I vaguely remember that when I was little, my brother let me ride on his shoulders on a big horse. At that time, my brother was only about the same age as Ji'er."
Li Gan had deep feelings for his eldest brother, and now all of this affection was transferred to Li Ji.
"Yeah, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, a young eunuch passed by the door.
When Li Gan saw this, he laughed and pretended to stand up.
The Queen Mother's smile faded slightly, and she coughed lightly and said:
"Your Majesty, now that Ji'er's matter has been resolved, the election I mentioned to you can no longer be delayed."
The issue of the general election has been suppressed by the emperor with many excuses since it was brought up at the end of last year.
The Emperor has been on the throne for over half a year, and the position of Empress has remained vacant. There isn't even a single concubine in the harem. This is truly excessive!
The Queen Mother was about to bring up the country and the people to give a long lecture, but Li Gan yawned and even stretched himself, looking very tired.
"Mother, I'm very busy today and I'm really tired. Let's talk about this another day. I'll take my leave."
After saying this, he didn't even give the Queen Mother a chance to speak, and just stood up and left.
"This this!"
The Queen Mother was speechless!
As soon as Li Gan left the house, the eunuch hanging around the door followed him and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the palace gates are about to be locked. Are you still going out?"
Li Gan's feet were full of wind, and he said:
"You knew the lock was going to be locked, but you didn't hurry up. Look at my memory. I almost forgot that it was Zhonghuai's birthday today. If you hadn't reminded me outside, I would have missed the big event."
After returning to the bedroom, Li Gan took off his dragon robe and asked the young eunuch to put it on, and then he put on a eunuch's clothes.
You know what, after the little eunuch put on the dragon robe, he did look somewhat similar.
"Little Dengzi, same as always. You help me keep an eye on the palace. I will be back before the court tomorrow morning."
Little Dengzi prostrated himself on the ground, feeling extremely terrified.
"Yes."
……
Su Li tossed and turned all night long.
There is one less person at home, and I always feel empty inside.
Huan Ge'er was in Dali before. Although he wasn't around anymore, Su Li knew he would come back one day. Her thoughts would finally have a place to go.
But now...
Now Pei Huan has become Li Ji and is no longer her brother Huan.
Pei Huan occupied Huan Ge'er's body, but no one knew where Huan Ge'er went.
Her heart ached when she thought of this.
Although Pei Huan and Huan Ge'er are the same person, they are different in her heart.
Fortunately, she didn't feel depressed for more than a few days and started to get busy again.
Before, the family was always busy with this or that matter, and Songzhi and Songtao's marriage was always delayed.
Now, everything has finally come to an end, and the lifelong events of the two personal maids are also on the agenda.
Songzhi and Captain Qian have been in love with each other for a long time. They have been apart for the past two years and now they have finally settled down. They are eager to get married as soon as possible.
After the two families discussed it, the matter was quickly settled.
Everything about the wedding went on in an orderly manner according to the procedures, and there were less than ten days left until the wedding day.
Su Li was busy preparing a dowry for Songzhi.
Songzhi had been with her since she was young, and they were like sisters. Su Li gave her a substantial dowry, including gold, silver, silks, and satins, not to mention a farm and two shops.
"This is the dowry I gave you."
Su Li stuffed the deeds of the farm and the shop into Songzhi's hands, smiling and speaking slowly.
Seeing so many, Songzhi knelt down and declined:
"Madam, this is unacceptable! You've been so generous to us on a daily basis. The monthly salary, quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses, and various other rewards alone are enough for us to live on for a lifetime. Not to mention the gold and silver jewelry you've prepared for me. Even if I spent lavishly for two lifetimes, I wouldn't be able to spend it all. How can I even ask for a farm and a shop?"
Su Li supported her and said with a smile:
"I know you've saved a lot of money, but that's all earned through your hard work, and it's your due. I also know Captain Qian's family is wealthy, but that's his. I gave you this to support yourself. A woman with money in her hands feels confident."
"Also, I naturally hope that you can live a happy and harmonious life after marriage. But if he ever betrays you, you must be able to protect yourself, and these are your confidence."
