Chapter 74 Princess Ni's Invitation
"Master Li, how did Qi'er punch?" After a decent set of Tai Chi, Zhao Qi ran to Li Yu's side and asked, pulling Li Yu's sleeve.
"Yes, the prince's boxing skills have made great progress."
"Sir Li, where is Pan'er's?" Zhao Pan, who was beside him, also looked at Li Yu with a look of anticipation.
"Pan'er is also good, and it's making rapid progress."
After praising the two little guys, Li Yu looked at the two princesses coming from afar, with appreciation flashing in his eyes.
Since Princess Ni returned to the palace to live, Princess Qian no longer practiced martial arts with Prince Qi. Instead, she learned the female red thing from Princess Ni. Her face, who had just turned ten, had a little woman's taste, which made Li Yu admire the precocious maturity of women in this era. If the ten-year-old child was probably still growing quietly under the protection of his parents, he would not know what female red thing? For women, this era of war was really cruel in Thailand.
"I'm leaving." Seeing the princess coming, Gong Guang retreated in time, and his eyes were never fixed on the two princesses.
"I'll meet the princess at the end."
"The general doesn't have to be too polite." Seeing Li Yu, Zhao Ni rarely smiled, which made Li Yu, who had been paying attention to her, feel a little nervous.
"General Li, I'll give this to you." He whispered timidly, and Zhao Qian took out a sachet and handed it to Li Yu. Since following her sister Ni, Zhao Qian's name for Li Yu has also changed quietly. Every time she sees him, she is timid, as if she has returned to the poor little princess before.
"Thank you, Princess." After taking the exquisite and small sachet, Li Yu felt a little annoyed. Why did he, a big man, bring such sachets? But the little princess couldn't refuse her intentions. It seemed that she could only keep it at home for collection.
Seeing Li Yu put the sachet in his arms, Zhao Qian's face turned redder, her eyes glittered at Li Yu, and her red face lowered and returned to Sister Ni's side.
"General, I have a little wine, I hope the general will not be disgusted." Zhao Ni sighed in her heart. She expressed her purpose today. Her son has been much cheerful recently and his body has become stronger. She finally let go of her heart that has been hanging. As Zhao Pan's teacher, Li Yu has made great contributions, so Zhao Ni naturally wants to thank Li Yu.
"The princess invites you, and I dare not disobey your orders." Li Yu was not without ideas about the beautiful and dignified princess Ni, and he often dreamed of it when he returned to the middle of the night. However, Princess Ni's identity made Li Yu dare not have any inappropriate thoughts, but it is okay to drink and eat. As for the rest, it depends on the situation.
After practicing for more than half an afternoon, the prince Qi, who was sweating, jumped back to the bedroom to rest after getting the promise of Li Yu and waiting to tell him a story.
Zhao Pan was very happy to hold Li Yu's hand and walk to the place where he lives. Since he became sensible, he had no father and felt that different love from Li Yu. Although he had only been in contact for more than a month, Zhao Pan's young heart had already regarded Li Yu as his father. It was the warmth and care he longed for day and night, and it was something his mother could not understand.
"Master Li, Pan'er takes you to see Pan'er's bedroom."
When he returned to the garden where he lived, Zhao Pan would excitedly pull Li Yu to visit his bedroom. Li Yuzi would not refuse the little guy's request and was pulled forward by him.
"This is the room where Pan'er takes a bath, this is the room where Pan'er writes and reads, this is the yard where Pan'er practices martial arts, this is..."
Listening to Zhao Pan's statement, Li Yu nodded from time to time to respond. To be honest, Princess Ni lives in a good place. Although the room is not big, the overall area is so large, with pavilions, towers, flowers, trees, and rockery and flowing waters, which are a little wider and more warm than the hall where King Zhao and Queen Zhao live. The space is large enough, with a radius of hundreds of meters, almost occupying a large corner of the eighth floor platform of the palace.
In this palace, only the close relatives of the Zhao king of the royal family are qualified to live.
Today, Zhao Wangdan only has two younger brothers of the same mother. The youngest Chang'an Jun was sent to Qi as a hostage when Zhao King ascended the throne. The second-ranked Luling Jun was driven out of Zhao by Zhao King on the grounds of offending the envoy of Yan and defected to Chang'an Jun. In addition, Zhao Wangdan also has three younger sisters of the same mother. The eldest sister died at a young age. The second sister married the queen of Yan when Zhao Wangdan was ascending the throne, and the third sister was the youngest princess Ya. Among Zhao Wangdan's half-brother and sister, the only one who survived was Princess Ni. In addition, Princess Ni and Zhao Wangdan's eldest sister were born in the same year, Zhao Wangdan showed her the same sister. As for Zhao Wangdan's children, there are only Princess Qian and Prince Qi, and there are no other descendants.
Unlike the generals and ministers under his command, Zhao Wangdan's methods are indeed not kind enough to the relatives who may endanger the throne. However, compared with the situation where royal members often fight for life and death since ancient times, Zhao Wangdan did not raise the butcher's knife, and the methods are already very gentle.
In general, except for the four members of the royal family of Zhao, the family of four, Princess Ni and Princess Ya. Princess Ya returned to the Zhao Mansion outside the palace. Now only Princess Ni and the family of two live in the eighth-story palace platform. In addition, Princess Qian, there are only three people who look a little empty on the eighth-story palace platform where the royal family lives.
"Young Master, General, the wine and food are ready."
"Sir Li, let's go have a meal."
Gongzipan was taking Li Yu to visit his mother's embroidery place. A maid came over and reported it. Gongzipan took Li Yu's hand and ran to the room where he was eating.
"Have you cleaned your hands?" Zhao Ni said angrily after patting her son's hand that was directly grabbing the mutton.
"Pan'er will go now."
He quickly came to the basin beside him and washed his hands, then sat in front of his own table. Zhao Pan did not rush to eat, so he called the princess Qian who had just come in: "Sister Qian, sit here quickly."
Li Yu, who originally wanted to sit next to Gongzipan, saw this, so he sat in front of the table on the other side. Looking at the dishes in front of him, he found that although the dishes were a little less, they were all exquisite and small, which made people feel appetite when they saw them.
"Please use, General." Zhao Ni looked at the son opposite with a frown slightly. She knelt in front of Li Yu's chair and said to Li Yu beside her.
"Princess, please."
"Oh, it's ready to eat."
Before the others could make any moves, Zhao Pan, who knew that the meal could be started, cheered and started eating. He had long since stopped treating Li Yu as an outsider.
"Let the general laugh." Looking at his son's rude look, Zhao Ni frowned slightly and said apologetically to Li Yu.
