Xuan Yunian felt his actions were a bit abrupt, and after a slight cough, he said, "Ever since I sent you back to Chengqian Palace at the palace banquet last year, I have often worried about you. Seeing you this time and finding that you are very happy, I am very satisfied."
These affectionate words and gentle voice made her feel something strange.
"I was able to successfully avoid those people and bring Tuantuan to live in Wuliu City. All of this is inseparable from you, Yunian. Li'er will always remember what you have done for us mother and son. If there is anything I can do for you, please just ask."
Xuan Yunian shook his head and said, "Li'er is very capable. She was able to escape from the Qi people on her own. I believe that if Han Tong and the others hadn't found you, you would have lived a good life on your own. The fact that you accepted my men instead of living in seclusion shows that you trust me very much. How could I betray your trust?"
This kind of gentle male second visual made Cui Li smile and said:
"Yunian, don't think too highly of me. I've also thought about where to live after leaving the palace. I originally wanted to find a place to live in a sparsely populated valley, but by chance I met Han Zhao and the others. To be honest, with Han Tong and Han Zhao accompanying Tuantuan and me, I can live a more comfortable life. 'A great hermit hides in the city', that's true."
"It seems Yunian and Li'er are destined to meet again."
This affectionate look made Qiqi scream in her mind: "Host, look at his eyes, do you understand? Do you understand? He wants to be our stepfather!"
stepfather?
Qiqi's words made Cui Li feel that the ambiguous atmosphere had dissipated.
She avoided Xuan Yunian's gaze and said, "Dinner should be ready soon, let's go downstairs."
Xuan Yunian nodded and said, "Okay, Tuantuan should be waking up soon."
Cui Li looked at Tuan Tuan, who was sleeping in Xuan Yunian's cloak with only half of his head exposed for breathing. It was a good time for this little guy to sleep, otherwise he would have started crying and there would have been no ambiguous atmosphere.
After a sumptuous dinner and various games, the end of the year has passed and the new year has arrived!
Cui Li was still thinking before going to bed. As she expected, the master did not test her homework, but went to play chess with Xuan Yunian.
It was said that the two of them would sit in front of the chess game all night. Cui Li said goodbye to them and went back to the house with her son in her arms. She was still warm in the quilt.
During the Spring Festival in Liang State, officials could have seven days off. Xuan Yunian stayed in Wuliu City for three days, walking in the snow, visiting temple fairs, and admiring lanterns with Cui Li. Then he reluctantly left Wuliu City and rode to the capital.
Because Xuan Yunian received news that Emperor Ping of Qi had ordered the assembly of 300,000 troops with the intention of attacking Liang State, and the border of Ji State was also making frequent moves, it seemed that the two countries were preparing to join forces to deal with Liang State.
In this emergency, Emperor Liang would definitely summon Xuan Yunian. A substitute wasn't omnipotent, and if he met Liang Sheng to discuss state affairs, he'd inevitably be discovered. Therefore, Xuan Yunian had no choice but to return to the capital as quickly as possible.
At the beginning of the new year, the smoke of war was about to break out.
Cui Li stood on the street, watching the people still immersed in the joy of the New Year, and couldn't help but think of the poem he once read: "When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer."
The Liang Dynasty became increasingly powerful, and the people lived better than those in the other two countries. This inevitably made the rulers of Ji and Qi panic, fearing that they would become the kings of a fallen country.
Especially from the perspective of both sides, the plan to replace the imperial concubine failed, and the plan to kill the imperial concubine also failed. The conspiracy to control the next generation of crown prince of Liang State through women and royal heirs could not succeed, but instead lost their right-hand men. It would be better to strike first and take advantage of the fact that Liang State did not react, and unite the forces of the two countries to destroy Liang State.
Two against one, it seemed that Liang State was in great danger, but Cui Li felt that Liang Sheng and Xuan Yunian must have planned this long ago.
She thought of Ji State's Prince Ji Mingjie, the old patriarch of the Wu clan, and Qi Yu, the former prince of Qi and the son of the late emperor of Qi. These were all good opportunities to take action.
Without her inspiration, they would naturally dismantle the enemy from within.
