The survival rule of a concubine's daughter 109: Doll education from an early age, regarding the imperial concubine's affair.

  After dinner, Li Xiu went to the outer study. Meng Ge looked at Li Xiu with eager eyes and also wanted to follow him, but Ru Qing said: "Meng Ge is very sensible, your father has important things to do, we can't go disturb him, let's just stay here and chat with the queen mother, okay?"

  Meng Ge'er looked at Li Xiao, then looked at Ru Qing, seeing Ru Qing's warm smile, and also put down his guard, nodding in agreement.

  Like feelings accompanied by the alliance brother in the flower hall playing with small wooden people, also looking at colorful picture books. In this era, children's toys are really scarce, just a few wooden-made small wooden people or sword-like pitiful toys. Like feelings again let someone buy outside and bought color-printed picture books, on which there were simple characters and pictures to recognize, with the same function as modern enlightenment books, although the price was more expensive, but like feelings still admired the great wisdom of the ancients.

  She read a children's book to her brother Meng, reading it word by word and sentence by sentence. After finishing the story, she asked Meng: "Little bear was jealous of Little White Rabbit because he got more attention from Dog Brother, so he spoke ill of Little White Rabbit in front of their mom and even broke his toys. Do you think Little Bear's behavior is good or not?"

  Meng Ge shook his head, "No."

  "What's wrong with it?"

  "That little bear can't talk about others behind their backs like that."

  Yu nodded in agreement and praised Meng Ge: "Meng Ge is not only clever, but also good at debating. Your father, the king, will definitely be delighted when he finds out."

  The praised Meng Ge felt embarrassed, but there was a hint of pride between his eyebrows. However, he suddenly said coldly, "So, Meng Ge's words to the Empress about Yang Gu Gu being no good earlier, are they any different from Xiao Xiong's?"

  The young master didn't say a word, but his expression flickered.

  "Brother Meng, what you said about Aunt Yang to Mother just now was not good behavior, did you know that?"

  "But she was always mean to me anyway."

  "Why was she being mean to you?"

  The brother Meng suddenly fell silent.

  "Did you intentionally knock over her cup?"

  Meng Ge suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that Ruo Qing knew this too. Ruo Qing's face turned stern and she sat up straight, "Meng Ge, can you tell me why you deliberately broke Yang Gu Gu's cup?"

  The brother pouted and refused to speak again.

  He sighed again and asked: "Do you think it's good behavior to intentionally inform on others behind their backs and deliberately break other people's cups?"

  Meng Ge hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

  "Since you know it's not good behavior, why still go and commit it?"

  Meng Ge's face was stubbornly set, unyielding and tight-lipped.

  With a sigh, she relaxed her tone and pulled him to her side, asking: "Meng Ge, can you tell me why you want to do this? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Including your father the king."

  Meng Ge'er opened his big eyes, his gaze flickering, but still refused to speak. Jing Yu felt that her patience was almost exhausted, so she continued patiently: "I know, you're worried that Father will be taken away by Yang Gu Gu, right?"

  "Brother Meng is still speechless, but he knows that this child has a heavy heart and continues to say: "This brother Meng can rest assured, as long as the queen mother is here, she won't let her take away your father's. Your father has always loved you, it's just that he's used to being busy with many things, so he accidentally left you behind. Brother Meng should be magnanimous and not blame his father, okay?"

  Meng Ge's face flashed with hope, "Really? Father King, really..."

  Like a sigh of relief, this child is sensitive. Because he has been away from his father for a long time and rarely cares about him, he automatically develops an insecure feeling that his father doesn't love him. This makes him produce a kind of instinctive defense against the things around him, especially people like Yang Qining.

  After finding the key to the problem, he gently comforted him, "Of course, didn't you notice that every time Father is free, he takes you out to play and even personally teaches you martial arts? This is a treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy. You should be happy."

  The Meng Ge's face finally relaxed and became hesitant and surprised, his voice as thin as a mosquito hum, "Father King, do you really like me?"

  "Could it be fake? Father was furious when he heard that Meng Ge had been bullied by bad people. Did Meng Ge forget?"

  Finally, a relieved smile appeared on the child's face, although it was shallow. As she looked at him sincerely, she held Meng Ge in her arms and rocked him like a little baby, "So, Meng Ge, if Father King knew what you did today, he would be heartbroken." The small body in her arms stiffened, and she smiled secretly, saying, "But I think you didn't do it on purpose, right?"

  "Alright, since it wasn't intentional this time, let's just forget about it. But next time, you can't make the same mistake again, got it?" Then, Ruò Qíng also made him understand that what he did today was a very bad behavior, just like Xiǎo Xióng.

  "The little bear did something bad because of jealousy, and this jealousy itself is a bad behavior. So, we should broaden our minds and not do bad things just because we are jealous of others. If people find out, they will look down on us."

  "If your family finds out, especially Little Bear's mom, she'll be heartbroken and furious to know that her child intentionally damaged Little White Rabbit's toy out of jealousy. Brother Meng, think about it, did your father Wang Ping ever teach you to behave like this?"

  Meng Ge's face flashed with anxiety, thinking of the time he broke a cup and his father's furious scolding. He finally realized his mistake and looked at Ru Xiang with tearful eyes, "Mother, will Father be angry with me?"

  "Brother Meng, do you want to be an honest good boy? Alright, when Father King returns later, Brother Meng will personally apologize to Father King and admit his mistake. He shouldn't have deliberately broken Yang Auntie's cup."

  "But didn't Father King anger me?"

  "Don't worry, Meng Ge is so sensible and lovely, now that he has recognized his mistake, why would I still be angry with you? On the contrary, I will praise Meng Ge for being reasonable. Don't believe me, let's try it out."

  As if sensing something, he spoke quickly and sincerely, and Meng Ge nodded hesitantly.

  That night, Li Xuan returned home and found Meng Ge still awake, somewhat surprised, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

  Meng Ge bit his lip, fidgeting with his sleeve anxiously, hesitating and looking at Ru Qing. Ru Qing gave him an encouraging smile, and Meng Ge stuttered out the words. Li Xiao responded with a soft "oh", "And then?"

  The Meng Ge saw no sign of anger on his father's face, and he plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

  "What did you do wrong?"

  Meng Ge'er said uneasily: "Shouldn't have broken Yang Auntie's cup."

  Li Xiang sat down and pulled Meng Ge into his arms. "Since you know it's wrong, why do you still want to do it?"

  Meng Ge'er rolled up his sleeves and looked at Ru Qing with unease. Ru Qing encouraged him again, "Meng Ge'er be brave and tell your father the king what's in your heart."

  Li Xiao also had an encouraging expression, and Meng Ge blurted out, "I'm afraid that if Father has another woman, he won't love me as much."

  "How could your father not love you? Who said this?"

  Meng Ge'er lowered his head, "Yes..."

  Li Xuan's cold voice asked: "Who taught you this? Tell your father."

  "Hurry up and pull over, Meng Ge. Remember, you are the son of the emperor, and just because he has another woman doesn't mean he won't love you anymore. And having a second child won't make him cold towards you either, your mother empress won't let that happen, and neither will your father."

  Meng Ge'er seemed to understand and yet not understand, and said with a hint of emotion: "If anyone else dares to say such things in front of Meng Ge'er again, you can tell the king or queen, and see if they won't rip his mouth apart."

  Big Brother Meng said, "If someone speaks like this, are they also bad like Little Bear?"

  As if in a trance, he quickly nodded his head, "Uh-huh, yes, Brother Meng is indeed a good kid, able to distinguish right from wrong so soon."

  The praised Meng Ge was very proud, but he looked at Li Xiu with a hint of fear, as if waiting for his father's recognition. Li Xiu gently patted his head, "Your mother is right, but from now on, whoever says such things to you are not good-hearted and want to drive a wedge between you and the emperor, understand?"

  The Meng Ge'er nodded, Li Xiu looked at Ru Qing, and his eyes flashed with some complex light, then lowered his head to Meng Ge'er: "Your mother said it's very right, in the future you must listen well to your mother's words. This is the good child of the father king." Then he carefully told him a few more things before letting the servant take him down to rest.

  After Meng Ge'er left, Li Xuan pretended not to see the gentle gaze of Meng Ge'er and sighed: "Poor Meng Ge'er, when he first said those words to me, I thought this child was so young and loved to tell lies, but it turned out that he was just afraid that his father would be taken away by others." What she actually wanted to say was that Meng Ge'er was only five years old and already had such abilities, so he must have been born with a crooked fate, therefore, they should give him a lucky charm early on to prevent him from becoming more and more crooked as he grew up.

  Education must start with babies.

  Li Xiang didn't say anything, he just wrapped his arms around Ru Qing and pulled her into his embrace, softly saying: "You've worked hard. Luckily we found out early." This child really needs to be taught well. And Ru Qing's performance just now was truly impressive, worthy of being a descendant of a scholarly family, knowing how to persuade with reason.

  She smiled wryly, "Don't rush to thank me, Your Highness. I just happened to lend a hand." She wasn't the saint he had imagined. She was only willing to offer some casual care as long as it didn't infringe on her own interests. Besides, Meng Ge was the eldest illegitimate son, and being too close to him wouldn't be beneficial for her or her future children either. It's better to just do what she can with a good heart. If all else fails, then she could only follow Old Lady's words and take the worst-case scenario.

  That night, Li Xuan was unusually gentle with Ru Qing.

  On the second day, Li Xue went to the palace. Chen Xiang said, "Actually, the princess doesn't need to be so good to Meng Ge." As long as he has food and clothes, it's enough. Why bother being so attentive? Buying toys, buying books, personally tutoring, and not even scolding or beating him. Yesterday's scene made her feel stifled to death.

  "Just doing my best. That child, you know as well as I do, has a mind of his own at such a young age. If not taught properly, he'll be trouble later on."

  Chen Xiang said disdainfully, "You are the queen and his birth mother, in the future you will be suppressing him everywhere, can he still turn things around?" Even if it doesn't work out, spoiling a child to the point of uselessness is easy.

  "Sighing, 'If there's really such a thing as cause and effect in this world, how could I bear to ruin that child's life?' And besides, the child is still young now, whether they're good or bad, what kind of character they have, it's all still uncertain. I believe that upbringing later on should be able to play a role."

  Chen Xiang fell silent for a moment, biting his lip and saying, "What if we raise a white-eyed wolf, wouldn't that be raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

  "So, we can't just let him be a freeloader, right? For now, it's not the time to guard against him, after all, this kid is still young. Let's observe for a while and then make plans."

  ……

  After visiting the imperial concubine to pay respects and returning, Ruo Xian sat at the top with a dignified expression, her sacred and inviolable demeanor lecturing several concubines, "The New Year is approaching, and there are many things to do in the mansion. You don't need to come every day to pay respects. Just stay in your rooms." The original imperial concubine was confined to Huan Xiang Temple because of her brother's affair, and after losing the child, she was greatly traumatized, lying in bed all day as if she wanted to die. Yu Niangniang was implicated by the original imperial concubine, and Ruo Xian took this opportunity to also confine her. The remaining niangniangs didn't dare to be presumptuous, and they had been extremely obedient these days, responding with a humble "yes" when they heard her words.

  That night, after taking a bath, she saw Li Xiang sitting on the edge of the bed in his underwear, as if waiting for her. She couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment, and indeed he was a lecherous man.

  After everyone else had gone out, she was also preparing to go to bed, but seeing Li Xun's big horse knife lying on the edge of the bed, as a wife, she couldn't climb over her husband's body, and had to slowly move from his feet, but felt that this would lose a woman's dignity.

  Just as she was in a difficult situation, Li Xiu's big hand wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her onto the bed. With a sudden cry of surprise, although she was startled, it was also good this way, saving her from having to crawl at his feet in anger.

  Men and women have different physiological structures, so when a woman gets into bed, she just wants to sleep or hug a warm stove and sleep comfortably. But men only think about one thing and won't give up until they achieve their goal, after a while of struggling, they simply take off the restraints on their body and start making out.

  She was no longer the timid and shy girl she once was, her feelings of embarrassment had long since dissipated, and she even occasionally took the initiative. Today, she had dealt with a few troublesome servants, also intimidating the others, feeling quite accomplished and pleased. Her mood was lifted, and her desire was stirred up again by the man, so she went along with him, and they had a wild time together. After everything calmed down, Ruo Xue saw that his hair was disheveled, so she tidied it for him. "Doesn't having your hair tied up like this hurt your scalp? From now on, before bed, I'll loosen it for you and then gently tie it back up." A man with messy hair really didn't look good, and it wasn't convenient for intimacy either. It was better to just use a silk ribbon to loosely tie it back.

  Li Xiang let her scatter her own hair, picked up the beautiful hair in front of her chest and placed it between her nose, lightly kissing it. "Have these days been smooth for managing the household?"

  As if in a nest, she was in his arms. The man had been practicing martial arts for a long time, and his muscles were solid. Snuggling in his arms, there was also a sense of quiet being protected. Seeing him mention it on his own initiative, he didn't hide anything, and simply brought out a few outstanding slaves.

  "I know that the purchasing, accounting and teaching departments are all considered to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Moreover, they are also afraid of the power of the palace outside. When they go out, they all stand up straight with confidence, and some have a sense of self-respect. But now, even I, the princess, am not taken seriously by them. Whether I reprimand or scold them, it's like water off a duck's back. I wonder if there are other forces backing these people?"

  "I'm not quite clear about the management of the inner house either. Let's ask Empress Mother tomorrow. If it's really excessive, you can tell me and find a fault, let them clean the toilet for you."

  With a sudden movement, she grasped his chest and said, "Can't you think of anything else to do besides clenching your fists?"

  Li Xue didn't think so, "If fists can easily solve everything, why bother moving your brain?"

  It's indeed only those with well-developed limbs who would say such things. As the saying goes: "I've inquired carefully, and these several officials who are leading the most lucrative affairs have intricate relationships within the palace. If I were to move against them, it's likely that someone would report to the king and queen, crying and complaining." After Hong Dacheng's family was removed from their official position, Zhou Yongjia's family became the sole dominant force, and she was also a protégée of the imperial concubine. Her husband held an important position in the palace, and he was highly favored by the old king. Their sons and daughters all worked in the Jiaxin Garden. If they were to be dealt with, it's likely that it would alarm the old king and the imperial concubine. At that time, when the elders intervene, no matter how many reasons she has, she will still be guilty of "not giving face to her elders".

  Since this guy insists on saying he won't let her suffer, then let him deal with the stubbornness of the Zhou family.

  Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and said with a nonchalant tone, "What's so difficult about this? Tomorrow, I'll make up an excuse to invite the king and queen out of the palace. You can then carefully deal with these slaves."

  "Shaking her head, 'This won't do, it's too obvious.' Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Li Xiu has been taught by her to deal with her parents' most favored servant. If someone were to provoke her a few times, she would easily become the one being manipulated and even the people around her in-laws would dare to take action."

  Li Xiao thought for a moment, "Haven't you already grasped their weakness? That's easy to handle, let me take care of it and I'll severely deal with them."

  "Mind your own business, big man," Ru Qing said with a shake of her head. "In a large family like this, the division of labor is clear-cut between men and women. If a woman can't even manage a servant properly and needs a man to step in and discipline them every time, it's just embarrassing."

  "This won't work, that won't work, what should we do?"

  "As I was thinking of handing over the account book of the purchases to the Empress Dowager for her review, and letting her handle it."

  "Why not put it into practice?"

  Ru Qing said, "If we deal with Zhou Yongjia's family, her husband and children are still in the mansion, who knows if they will resent me?" So, either don't touch any of them, or if you want to deal with them, it's best to get rid of all of them to avoid leaving behind hidden dangers.

  Li Xiao looked at her with a new gaze, "I didn't expect my wife to think so far ahead. Impressive, impressive."

  She said with a smile: "Of course, I don't think about it, who am I to my brother?" Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will blow again. This was a phrase she often hung on her lips before getting married.

  "The Wang household is not like an ordinary family, although it can't compare to the imperial palace's open and secret struggles for power and life and death, it's also not a place where one can let their guard down. So these concubines and sisters-in-law had better be strictly controlled, don't let them give birth to any more monsters." This was said by Yu Shi, but even with her level of scheming, she wouldn't normally say something like this. It's really hard for Zhi Yi, for the sake of her high-ranking sister, she can't be said to not have put in effort.

  He Shi's advice to her was quite practical, "The officials in front of the prime minister's gate are seventh-grade officials, and the managers in the palace are more dignified than ordinary families by three points. These managers are mostly born into the family, forming cliques and private businesses within the palace, intertwined with each other. If you want to control them, sister, you must work hard."

  Li Xiang was dissatisfied and gently tapped her forehead, "Little fool, don't you always like to flatter your husband? A wife should say..."

  "Nor did I think of whose wife I was."

  Li Xue's lips curled up, and he nodded. "Mmm, good girl. One lesson learned, three more to go, you're a quick learner." He received several gentle punches as a reward, and Li Xue burst out laughing, flipped over, pinned her down, and kissed her delicate face tenderly.

  Li Xiang knew that Ru Qing and Zhi Yi had a deep affection, and he was already somewhat jealous. But thinking that it wasn't right to speak out of turn, he could only hide the sour feeling in his heart. Now that Ru Qing was his wife, hearing her say this with such a tone, he immediately flared up, "You really like Zhi Yi?"

  "Uh, Second Brother may look cold on the outside, but I know he really cares about me. I also really like him." Especially during those two years in Datong, it was the most comfortable time she had ever experienced in her life. Unaware that her unintentional words were about to ignite a certain firecracker, she continued to say with emotion: "Especially after Second Brother married Second Sister-in-law earlier, I even felt jealous. Afraid that he would marry a sister-in-law and stop caring about me." Fortunately, Zhiyi still cared for her as before, and Yu Shi was also unusually gentle and wise.

  Li Xiao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he sneered: "What a pity, you two are siblings." An identity that made him both happy and resentful.

  "Ah, yes... if only we weren't siblings, that would be great... ah, you, you, what are you doing?" The man suddenly became like a demon, pouncing on her and pinning her down, then savagely kissing her lips. After a passionate kiss, it seemed to have stirred up the man's beastly desires again, and they went at it wildly, finally calming down after a while. Like a gentle breeze, she breathed softly, complaining: "I hate you..." Although she said hateful words, her voice was soft and silky.

  Li Xiu lovingly kissed her face, "Tomorrow I'll stay in the mansion and help you discipline those servants."

  As for now, she hasn't thought of a good solution yet, so it's likely that Li Xiu will be invited to suppress the situation, hoping that Zhou Yong's family will behave themselves from now on out of respect for Li Xiu.

  "I married you for happiness, not to suffer. You don't have to worry about the king and queen, I'll take care of everything."

  She smiled and said it was good. Since the man wanted to show off a bit, let him show off well.

  "However, apart from showing off his fists, does the prince have any other skills?"

  "There is." Li Xiao's lips were all smiling, "Feet are also made."

  "...After being speechless for a while, he suddenly said: "What if one day I also make you angry, will you also throw your fist?" Preventing trouble before it happens."

  Li Xiao turned over, facing her, his little wife's plump and rosy apple-like cheeks ignited his most primitive desires, and he couldn't help but kiss her face again and again. Finally, he even gently patted her buttocks. "I won't be rough with you."

  "Like a gentle hum: 'You this guarantee can protect...' The words had not yet been spoken, when Li Xī was already leaning against her ear, evilly saying: 'I only want to take you in my hands.' As he spoke, he also kissed her smooth and delicate cheek, still feeling unsatisfied, and made a few more sucking sounds."

  She pushed him in a fit of pique, knowing that she couldn't budge him with her slender build. Although she knew that men's sweet words were not to be taken seriously, they still had a soothing effect on her heart.

  Li Xiang thought of the past scenes where he and Ru Shuang argued, sighing sorrowfully, "Do you know, every time I was provoked by your sharp tongue, what I wanted to do most?"

  Her face turned red with emotion, "You want to hit me?"

  Her cheeks were attacked again, "Answered correctly. Really want to spank your little butt, and then kiss this annoying mouth of yours to death." Li Xiao said while kissing her.

  After struggling slightly, she couldn't resist his strong momentum. As they played with each other's lips and tongues, and after a moment of tenderness, she suddenly remembered something important: "Today, the River Mountain Village sent over many birds and beasts, including bear paws."

  "Do you want to eat bear paw?"

  " Bear paws are indeed delicious, I wanted to eat them before but could only ask my second brother to bring some from Datong. Who would have thought that the bear paws in the Wang's mansion were piled up like a mountain? People compare with people and get frustrated to death. No wonder everyone wants to be on top of others."

  "If you like, I'll have the kitchen make bear paws for you tomorrow. You can have them steamed, braised or pickled, whichever you prefer." Li Xiao gently patted his young wife's face, "As I said, you're in charge of small matters in this household."

  "Why did you have to take away my bear paw back then?"

  Li Xiao: "......"

  As if she wanted to grab his collar and interrogate him, but unfortunately, after the previous exercise, he was stripped clean and bare-chested, so she could only use her fists to beckon his chest, "You say, you say. If it weren't for saying a word of truth today, I, I would..."

  Li Xiao grasped her small fist and stole another kiss on her lips, "How about that?"

  Her eyebrows furrowed for a while, and she viciously bit his shoulder. "I'll drain you dry." For now, although the cost would be higher, she would only be more tired for a while, and after sleeping, she would still be energetic. But it was different for men, guaranteed to exhaust him until he collapsed.

  Li Xiang burst out laughing and fell on Ru Qing's body, Ru Qing was pressed to the point of almost losing her breath, using all her might to push him away, angrily saying: "Get up, don't press me like this." The hard-boiled egg that had finally grown, if it were to be pressed into a fried egg, would she still want to live?

  Li Xiu reached out and rubbed the softness in front of her chest, his eyes gleaming with lustful light, "Not bad, finally something worth looking at."

  With an angry scowl, she pinched his arm and said, "You still haven't answered me."

  Li Xiao raised an eyebrow and smiled awkwardly: "If I say, I just want to see you endure the pain of cutting love and dare not speak out. Will you get angry?"

  "I'm already angry! Can't you see?"

  Li Xiao smiled lightly and kissed her pink lips again, "You're also lovely when you get angry." As he said that, he heavily kissed her cheeks, left and right, two on each side.

  As if she was so angry that she almost fainted, encountering such a shameless and thick-skinned rascal only further highlighted the singularity of her tactics.

  "You have no idea how long I've been heartbroken."

  "Who wants to cheat and be clever?" For the first time, he took out a big and heavy jar, which made him mistakenly think that there were two bear paws inside. He was so excited that he specially invited a group of pig friends and dog friends to taste them together, and at the same time, he showed off his brilliant military achievements. Who would have thought that such a big joke would come out?

  "So you're relying on your king's power to coerce me?"

  Li Xiu said with a straight face, "Actually, I hadn't thought of it yet, but you brought it up yourself." How could he not take advantage of this? Especially since this girl would turn into a mouse seeing a cat whenever she saw him, which only fueled his desire to tease her even more.

  Just like a pouting lip, I also think that I'm a bit too stupid, with 100 regrets. However, I thought of something else and punched his chest again, "At that time you didn't recognize me, did you?"

  Li Xiang also spoke bluntly, "At that time, the sky was dark and I didn't recognize you, but I felt like I had seen you before." After a pause, he added, "What first caught my attention was the palace flower on your head."

  "Ah," said the young woman, "what's so special about this palace flower?"

  Li Xuan was silent for a moment before speaking: "Since dismissing Fang Ruyan, the Empress Dowager has been thinking of finding me an excellent lady from a good family. Unfortunately, she unexpectedly found Yuan Shan Master instead, who didn't say anything but gave the Empress Dowager two palace flowers."

  Those two palace flowers, exactly the same, one was given to the imperial concubine, and she carefully kept it. The other was given by the imperial concubine to Li Xue, who also kept it well. He folded a paper boat, put the palace flower in it, and let it drift onto the lake. If this palace flower appeared on some girl's head, then that girl would be his destined queen.

  As if moved by what she heard, her eyes widened, and thinking of the version that Know Right had mentioned to her before, she asked: "Did you do it?"

  Li Xiang snorted, "How could I do that? This monk loves to deceive people. Later, just as we were about to go to Datong, he was thrown into Datong. I thought the monk would never be able to cheat Mother Empress out of her money again. But who knew... Ah, indeed, human calculations are no match for heavenly calculations."

  Her eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement, "But I heard my brother say that this palace flower was given to him by a monk from the Daiwang Fu. He thought it looked good and gave it to me. Where did you actually put the palace flower?"

  Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, "Exactly, the Dai Wang Fu." He had also stayed in the Dai Wang Fu for one night, and when he left, he casually threw the palace flower onto the bed before leaving.

  It was probably later that the palace flower was picked up by a monk in the Wangfu and then given to Zhiyi, who gave it to her. She wore it when attending the wedding of Qingchang Houye, where she was discovered by Li Xiang and blackmailed.

  "After that, the palace flower was never found again, did you pick it up?"

  Li Xiu nodded, at that time he already had a faintly bad premonition, but still didn't put his heart to it, and just took the palace flower back, never taking it out again to show people. But later went to Datong again, suddenly found that Ruoqing was also in Datong, and some thoughts came to mind, with half curiosity and half expectation, he gave the palace flower to Zhiyi as a token of apology.

  Then Li Xue asked Ruqing, "What about the palace flower? Is it in your hands?"

  "At that time, I also guessed that this palace flower was not ordinary. Afraid of getting entangled with you again, I had the maid throw it away."

  Under the dim light of the night pearl, Li Xiao's face was immersed in a daze, probably an illusion of infatuation, this guy seemed dissatisfied.
