Chapter 136 Winter Hot Pot
The next day,
Li Jinyuan woke up first and looked at the sky outside the window. It was already late.
The little girl in my arms was still sleeping soundly, her little face rosy and adorable.
Recalling her initiative last night, the man couldn't help but curl his thin lips.
Qi Yu had been waiting outside the door for a long time. The army had already gathered outside the city and was now waiting for the prince.
But the prince was being affectionate with the princess right now, and he wouldn't dare to go in and disturb them even if he had a hundred guts.
Ever since he had given the princess that sachet on his own initiative, not only had the prince punished him, but even the princess disliked him...
He hasn't asked for the princess's forgiveness yet, so he can't make her angry again.
"crunch-"
The door in front of him finally opened, and Li Jinyuan appeared in front of him with his clothes tidied up. Qi Yu's eyes lit up instantly.
“Your Majesty!…”
"Shut up."
Before Qi Yu could finish her words, she was met with a cold look from the man.
"She hasn't woken up yet. Let Liusu and the others wait for her."
"Yes."
The man lowered his voice and walked quickly towards the Yuchun Palace.
Li Jinyuan returned to Linfeng Palace and changed into a cold set of armor.
……
Another half-quarter of an hour passed,
Li Jinyuan and Qi Yu each rode a horse and appeared in front of the army.
"The prince is here!"
The soldiers were ready to move. Seeing Li Jinyuan and the others was like seeing a magic needle that could stabilize the sea, and their morale was boosted.
"The time has come! Prepare to start!"
With the battalion commander's loud shout, the soldiers suddenly fell silent, turned around in unison, and were ready to set off at any time.
When Qi Yu followed Li Jinyuan to the front of the army, he couldn't help but ask softly,
"Your Highness, are we just leaving like this? The princess doesn't seem to know yet..."
Li Jinyuan didn't say anything. He missed her even before leaving the capital...
Thinking back to the girl's face that was still sleeping before he left, he thought about waking her up and talking to her for the last time before leaving.
But he was also a little reluctant. He had been so exhausted last night and was worried that she wouldn't be able to rest well...
I wonder if she'll throw a tantrum when she wakes up and can't find me...
Thinking of that puffed-up little face, Li Jinyuan couldn't help but curl his lips and smile. If that was the case, he could only end the war quickly and come back to comfort her sooner...
……
At noon, Jiang Li finally woke up slowly.
But before she was fully awake, she felt sore and weak all over, as if she had been boxing all night last night.
Her almond-shaped eyes turned, and she stretched her arms behind her, only to find that there was no one around her.
Where's Li Jinyuan? Could he have already left...
She let out a soft "hiss", turned around, and found that she was the only one left in the warm room.
The sun was creeping in through the window; it must have been noon.
The girl lay in bed for a long time before slowly sitting up. She was not angry as Li Jinyuan had worried about her. Instead, she quickly digested the matter and calmed down.
"tassel?"
Jiang Li called out tentatively. She had difficulty even taking two steps now, and she really couldn't do her makeup by herself.
Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open and Liusu's voice was heard.
Jiang Li was stunned. She remembered that Liu Su was clearly sent away by Li Jinyuan last night. Could it be that he called her back before leaving?
He's thoughtful...
When the little maid came in with hot water, she saw her princess sitting on the edge of the bed with a charming look on her face. The wide neckline could not cover the ambiguous red marks exposed.
After all, she was just an innocent girl, and she couldn't help blushing. The look she gave Jiang Li was meaningful.
"Princess, I will help you wash up."
Jiang Li coughed lightly, and even though the tips of her ears were red, she still pretended to be calm.
"it is good."
……
On the third day after Li Jinyuan left, Jiang Li was already feeling bored.
Even though he was usually detained in the imperial study and did not spend much time back at the palace, Jiang Li had never felt so bored.
Has he reached the border now? ...
There were no means of communication in ancient times. If people used carrier pigeons to send messages, he might not have received a reply until the war was almost over.
Liusu and Zhuyu hadn't seen the princess look so distracted for a long time.
I still remember the last time the princess was like this was when she received the imperial edict and was betrothed to the third prince.
At this moment, Mingda suddenly announced from outside the palace gate, "The Fourth Prince has arrived!"
Jiang Li paused in her rocking chair.
Li Youchuan? Why is he here? I haven't seen him in a long time...
Soon, the lake blue figure walked in with Mingda.
The boy was as bright as ever, and when he smiled, two small canine teeth were faintly visible at the corners of his mouth.
"Royal sister-in-law!"
Jiang Li smiled back and turned to ask Liusu to bring a chair over.
The sun is shining brightly in the yard at this time. It's winter, so why not bask in the sun?
"Why are you here free?"
The young man sat down on the chair with a smile, "I miss the delicious food cooked by the emperor's sister-in-law. I wonder if you have researched any new unusual dishes?"
Thinking back to the rabbit feast he had in Changzhou last time, Li Youchuan felt like drooling.
However, he did miss her craftsmanship, but his visit to the Third Prince's Palace was purely on the instructions of his royal brother.
Otherwise, how could he dare to trouble the imperial sister-in-law to cook? If the imperial brother knew about it, he would definitely kill him with his own hands.
Because he was afraid that Jiang Li would be bored, Li Jinyuan appointed Li Youchuan before leaving and asked him to come to the Third Prince's Mansion often to entertain Jiang Li.
Upon hearing this mission, even the good-tempered puppy was unwilling to accept it. What did it mean? Was he, the dignified Fourth Prince, really going to become someone else's toy?!
However, he only dared to think about it in his heart, and he was still very flattering to his brother in public.
Jiang Li didn't think much about it. She was quite proud that her cooking skills were recognized.
"Okay, then you can stay in Yuchun Palace for dinner today."
The last rabbit banquet was all Sichuan cuisine, which was both numbing and spicy. Since Li Youchuan liked it, he should be able to handle spicy food.
Jiang Li suddenly had a good idea.
"Then let's have hot pot today. You should like it."
In winter, what else can we eat but hotpot!
"Hot Pot?"
Li Youchuan's dark puppy eyes lit up. This was another delicacy he had never heard of, which had completely aroused his curiosity.
"Yes, it's spicy and numbing, perfect for winter."
"Okay! Then I'll help you."
This dish has never been heard of before, and the servants definitely don’t know how to cook it, so Jiang Li has to do it herself.
Li Youchuan felt embarrassed to eat for free, so he wanted to help out.
"it is good."
Before the two of them could take any action, Mingda at the door came another report.
"Miss Lin requests an audience!"
Tangtang! ?
Jiang Li's face lit up with joy, and the next second she raised her voice to pass on the message,
"Let her in quickly!"
The door opened again, but three figures appeared.
Lin Qingtang couldn't wait to throw himself into Jiang Li's arms, Chu Changxun was dressed in green and gentle, and Lin Ci looked reluctant and awkward like a puppy.
Jiang Li was surprised for a moment, but soon smiled again.
"You're all here!"
