Chapter 1552: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
The emperor said: "My princess can only marry a prince consort and never marry outside the family."
Shi Li: ...It still has to be you, Dad!
All the ministers: You two, father and daughter, go ahead and fight. Who can beat you two?
Seeing the ministers' faces looking like a palette of colors, Shi Li pursed her lips and tried not to laugh.
I have to admit that it’s really great to feel fearless and favored!
After the emperor said this, those ministers in the court who originally wanted to take advantage of Shi Li had to think twice.
Even if it is a royal family, it is really shameful for a grown man to marry into a woman's family.
The emperor and Shi Li didn't care what they thought. Even if they were willing to take the risk and really wanted to marry into the emperor's family, they still had to see if the emperor and Shi Li thought highly of them.
After finishing the morning court, the father and daughter went to visit the queen and the two little kids who had just started to learn.
Just as they arrived at the Queen's Fengyi Palace, the two little kids just finished their morning lessons and stumbled in from outside.
When Shi Xun saw the emperor, his eyes lit up, and his chubby body bumped the emperor's thigh, causing pain. But in front of his wife and daughter, the poor emperor had to maintain his image and pretend nothing happened, enduring the pain and picking up Shi Xun and shaking him.
"Oh, it's heavier again."
In contrast, his sister Shi Su, who was born a quarter of an hour earlier than him, was like a little adult. She walked all the way back from morning class with her clothes and hair still neat and tidy.
After walking in, Shi Su bowed to his father and mother in a proper manner, and then walked in front of Shi Li.
"Royal sister, the teacher praised me for my good learning today." Unlike her younger brother Shi Xun, Shi Su likes her sister Shi Li the most. Whenever Shi Li is present, she will only see anyone else.
This made the emperor very jealous, but there was nothing he could do.
Shi Li took the opportunity to extend her hand to her. Shi Su hesitated for a moment, but finally threw himself into her arms, his eyes sparkling, unable to hide his joy.
The family of five is just like an ordinary family, enjoying the rare family happiness.
But later, Shi Su somehow noticed the silver bell that Shi Li always wore in her hair, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Someone treated my sister harshly? Why do you always wear this piece of jewelry?"
While speaking, he was already calculating how many gems he had in his own small treasury that he could take out to make beautiful jewelry for his sister.
Shi Li's hand subconsciously brushed the silver bell, and the crisp sound was the same as before. She chuckled and answered the little girl's question, "Of course not, it's just that this piece of jewelry is my favorite."
No matter how smart the little princess was, she couldn't understand the idea that seeing something reminds one of someone. She just looked at the silver hairpin with disdain and said, "I'll make a jeweled hairpin for you, sister!"
Seeing her serious expression, Shi Li had to explain patiently, "I really like this silver hairpin. The gemstone is precious and luxurious. One or two are enough."
"Well... why don't I give the gems away and exchange them for food to distribute to the disaster victims in the south? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it (from Xunzi's "The King's System")."
The four-year-old little Dumpling muttered these words.
Shi Li heard it clearly, and looked at the emperor who also heard it, and both of them looked surprised.
The teacher who taught Xiaotuanzi was carefully selected by them and would never instigate others casually. There were also people watching during the class, so what Shi Su could say was entirely her own idea.
Shi Li reached out and gently pinched Shi Su's round cheek.
It seems that this imperial sister is not an ordinary person.
In the West, there is spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The bitter cold has arrived again. Many civilians are accustomed to trying their best to dig out ground beans from the soil before the severe cold comes, and use them to satisfy their hunger when they cannot go out.
Mingshi also did this thing for some unknown reason.
The place where he and Shi Li first met was dug several times by him, and all the ground beans were dug out, regardless of size.
They had not seen each other for a long time, but on the worship day, he still recognized the girl who had grown into a graceful young lady and the familiar silver bell in her hair at a glance.
Day and night, her beautiful figure always lingers in my mind and dreams.
The four red-clothed attendants were not surprised. As long as the Son of God did not have any evil intentions to seize power, it didn't matter what he did. Fu Zheng didn't care, and they cared even less.
On the way back, Mingshi passed by the palace where Shili had lived for three years.
It has long been abandoned, with only some traces of charcoal piled against the wall in the corner.
He stopped and looked again and again.
Thinking about the girl I met on the day of worship, it’s no wonder that there are always people coveting her. A feeling of inexplicable bitterness suddenly hit my heart.
Ming Shi vaguely felt that the compassion and love he felt for Shi Li was different from that he felt for other people.
