In the end, Li Zimeng really did not eat any meat during the meal.
"We'll start a long time in the afternoon, Auntie.”Li Zimeng asked.
"Take a break! Rest for an hour. Mo 'er wants to sleep.”Her aunt felt that she was sometimes younger than a child, but when she was serious about doing things, she was fiercer than her elders.
"Men, take the princess to rest.”The aunt followed the two girls.
"You should go and rest too! Look at how tired you are!" Chu Mo said. Li Zimeng ran to his study and fell asleep on the chaise lounge. After crying last night, she was especially tired today. After working for the whole morning, she was even more tired. She fell asleep immediately.
Chu Mo had a few words with Xingfeng outside and when he came in, he saw that the girl was drooling. Chu Mo placed her down and covered her with a blanket. He smoothed his hair and fell asleep with her. This was the most suitable way to sleep in the winter afternoon. Just as she was sleeping soundly, there was a knock on the door.
" Miss Li, the princess is calling you." Li Zimeng jumped off the chair.
"Go, go, go quickly." She jogged all the way to the door and felt strange as if the person inside was not a princess but a ferocious beast. He pushed open the door and went through the afternoon's devil training.
"Your Highness, is Miss Li really okay?”Xingfeng asked.
"Yes, only she can make that old man lose without a fight.”Chu Mo's eyes were also filled with endless scheming.
"This might hurt Miss Li.”Xingfeng didn't know if his master really liked Miss Li or if he was just acting.
"The damage isn't as great as that old man's. We still have other things to do. Let's go. Also, Xingfeng, you've been talking too much recently.”The two of them left.
Manor of Prime Minister
"Master, can we really stay here?”Eldest Concubine looked at the luxurious manor in front of her and could not believe it. In the past, it was okay to live there, but it was too far away from the Imperial Palace. Every time the Old Master attended the morning court session, he had to wake up very early. Now that he was here, he could enjoy the life of an official's wife.
"Yes, Madam. We're staying here now. Let's go in and take a look. You'll definitely like the decorations inside.”The Prime Minister entered the manor with Eldest Concubine in his arms, followed by a large group of maids and servants.
After settling down, the two of them strolled around the garden.
"Old Master, why would the Second Prince ask the Emperor to move our residence here?”For some reason, she felt uneasy.
"It's because he's interested in my power in the Imperial Court. People nowadays are very realistic, so I should still be of some use to him.”The prime minister was also puzzled, but he could not resist their greed.
"No matter what, he's still your son-in-law. He wouldn't dare to do anything to you, right? Moreover, Qi 'er is so favored." Eldest Concubine said.
"You should also talk more about Qi 'er. She has been married to the Second Prince for so long, but why isn't there any movement in her stomach? If this woman wanted to keep her position, it was very important for her to have children.”The Prime Minister was also calculating in his heart. As long as Qi 'er had a child, Qi' er's position would be stable.
"And Xian 'er, why haven't I seen her recently?”The prime minister was very angry with his son.
"Xian 'er and the princess went to play."
"You only know how to play the whole day. A man only knows how to indulge in debauchery the whole day.”The prime minister said angrily.
"It was the princess who pestered him to go out."
"It's his fortune that the princess has taken a fancy to him, but what about the emperor? Would the Emperor choose such a person to be his son-in-law?”The prime minister said.
"What is this? As long as the princess liked him, what could the emperor do to the princess?”Eldest Concubine was really biased.
"You women! It's just that my hair is long and my knowledge is short. I can't explain it to you!”The Prime Minister left angrily, and Eldest Concubine chased after him.
After dinner, the sky was already dark. The princess did not eat in the residence. After dinner, Chu Mo sent Li Zimeng back. Li Zimeng, who was lying on the bed, could not fall asleep. He got up and practiced what the princess taught him today. He carried the girl on his back and tamed her while practicing his body shape and posture. Li Zimeng didn't fall asleep until very late at night. In his dream, he saw Li Zimeng being bullied in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did it hurt so much now? It was fine in the past, but why was it so painful now?
In the morning, Chu Mo came to fetch Li Zimeng as usual.
"Why are you so haggard?" Chu Mo looked at Li Zimeng worriedly.
"It's fine! I just didn't sleep well." Li Zimeng yawned.
"Then sleep for a while more." Chu Mo moved a little and let Li Zimeng lie down. In the following period of time, Li Zimeng studied like this. If there was anything, the princess would find someone else to tutor her. Actually, Chu Mo knew that she would train until very late every night. Whenever there was a break, Chu Mo would always sit in the small courtyard for a long time. His heart was originally stiff, and sometimes he felt sorry for this girl. However, for the sake of his own plan, he could not care less.
The days passed quickly. The Prime Minister's manor was dressed up in a festive manner today. With the help of Li Ziqi, Eldest Concubine was trying on the new clothes for tomorrow. The Prime Minister and the Second Prince were chatting in the study. The servant girls and servants were running around. It was a lively scene.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Embroidery Pavilion has sent clothes.”Uncle Zong came to report. Today, they were all here.
"Send it in! Why don't you try it on and see if it fits? If it's not suitable, you can change it." Chu Mo said to Li Zimeng. Li Zimeng nodded. How could there be a mistake in her clothes? The last time she took measurements, it took her half an hour. It was said that the clothes there were worth tens of thousands of gold. They were probably at the Chanel level!
Li Zimeng and the girl who brought the clothes went into another room to change, leaving the four of them to drink tea.
"Auntie, why is your skin so good recently? It looks so watery!”Chu Feng said fawningly.
"Haha! Was that so? Haven't I always been your aunt?”Chu Yang pretended to be shy.
"Auntie, keep a low profile!" Chu Feng's lips twitched.
"Hahaha, Feng 'er is still so cute.”Chu Yang smiled happily.
"Did Aunt get defeated by that girl?”Chu Jingyi asked.
"What are you talking about? Who am I? How could she be eaten by a little girl? Chu Mo had good taste. This girl was very smart, but she lacked a good teacher.”Chu Yang adjusted his dress.
"Yo! It was rare to hear her aunt praise someone like this. It had been a few years since the last time! It seemed that the girl had caught her aunt's eye. It was really strange!”Chu Jingyi said.
" Anyway, I feel uneasy doing this. But you guys…sigh…" Chu Yang's words were hanging on his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.
"Aunt, now is not the time to talk about this. We can talk about other things later!”Chu Mo also interrupted Chu Yang. He didn't like anyone coming out to persuade him. He was afraid that his heart would waver. This wasn't a good thing. Just like last time, the few of them fell into deep thought and didn't say anything.
