"Your Highness, it's getting late, and this concubine should go back to rest first."

Before Zhou Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Concubine Li with a flustered and hasty tone.

Watching the dignified and prudent person flee in despair.

Zhou Li sighed in a low voice: There is a long way to go.

At the end of the year, Xu Shi's empress's attitude made people fearful, and both the eldest prince and the second prince settled down a lot.

Zhou Li glanced at the newspaper on the table, and looked at Concubine Li: "As soon as the new year is over, there will be a major exam, but the mother emperor has reactivated the second emperor brother at this time. I am not at ease in my heart."

Concubine Li smiled and shook her head: "The concubine bet that the second prince will be demoted, we don't need to do anything, just wait."

Sometimes not to fight is also to fight.

At the second prince's recovery banquet, she saw that the second prince still deliberately made things difficult for Qiu Jinning, and she also saw the attitude of Princess Anguo.

Princess Baohuangnv of Anguo County.

Only this one, the three princes who jumped will die sooner.

"What does Aifei say?"

Concubine Li smiled and said nothing. Sure enough, the second prince was demoted not long after. This time he was directly deprived of his status as a prince, and the examination was held as scheduled.

Unsurprisingly, Huiyuan was Qiu Jinning, and she was also the number one scholar in the palace examination.

Zhou Li couldn't help sighing: "Qiu Jinning is the only one in the capital. If this person is dedicated to serving the imperial court, it will be the luck of the world."

He wants to be an emperor through the ages, so he naturally loves talents and cherishes talents. Based on this alone, Qiu Jinning will also protect it.

Regardless of whether he can be an emperor in the future, if such a person can stay in the court, it will do no harm to everything.

So at the Qionglin Banquet, seeing Qiu Jinning contradicting the Queen, he was more nervous than anyone else, but fortunately it was a false alarm.

It seems that Concubine Li is right in guessing that Princess Anguo is on the side of Huangnu.

In other words, whoever got the support of Qiu Jinning was equivalent to getting the support of Princess Anguo.

Every time think of this, Zhou Li can't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, Concubine Li had strategized well and forged a good cause with Qin Chu and Qiu Jinning early on.

One day, when Zhou Li came back from the yamen and passed Zhuque Street, he suddenly stopped and stopped a young woman.

"Excuse me, girl, what is it in your hand?"

Bamboo wooden cups with thin bamboo straws inserted on top.

Reminds him of something modern.

"This is Qin's milk tea."

Hearing the answer, Zhou Li was stunned for a while, and all the things in the past that he didn't have time to study carefully went around in his mind for a few times.

Table bookkeeping, sparkling fruit wine, milk tea...

He knew that there must have been time travelers in the history of Baiyue, because some things that should not have been popularized in ancient times appeared.

Just like the milk tea he saw at this moment.

Standing in the Qin Family Wine Pavilion and watching for a long time, Zhou Li asked his subordinates to buy two cups of milk tea to take back.

The familiar smell made him make a bold guess.

The next day, while taking advantage of Xiu Mu, he changed into casual clothes and appeared in the wine pavilion of the Qin family.

After seeing Qin Chu, he took out the prepared page and carefully scrutinized Qin Chu's expression.

In just a short moment, Zhou Li caught the astonishment and shock in Qin Chu's eyes.

He immediately felt at ease, he did not expect that there was his fellow villager in ancient times.

After taking the initiative to show favor and confess, Qin Chu no longer denied it.

Zhou Li wept with joy: "Sister..."

He put his arms around Qin Chu's shoulders, feeling extremely cordial, as if he had returned to modern times, returned to the dormitory, sitting with his good sisters, talking about everything.

Qin Chu froze, rolled his eyes, and let him express his heart.

Talked a lot, and drank a lot of wine.

Zhou Li was a little dizzy, but still pulled himself together and said, "Sister, I want to have a long talk with you tonight."

Qin Chu sighed inwardly, and nodded slowly.

When the wine was getting strong, Zhou Li thought of Concubine Li and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"I have to go back to the house, you wait for me."

After returning to the mansion, he packed up all the gold and silver and came to Concubine Li.

"Aifei, let's make peace."

It was the words of He Li, which made Concubine Li stunned for a moment.

Afraid that Concubine Li would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "I think about it for a while so I can't implicate you. We can pretend to be divorced. If it doesn't work out, at least we can keep you."

Concubine Li's expression froze, but if that happened, she would feel uneasy.

Therefore, she was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "If His Highness decides to reconcile, the Li family will no longer support you, and the concubine will marry someone else."

If it works, she will accompany this person on a smooth journey.

If the matter fails, she will accompany this person to the underworld.

No matter what the outcome is, it cannot be harmony, hardship or prosperity. She will not allow herself to withdraw from self-protection halfway, and she will accompany her Highness all the way to the dark.

Zhou Li felt overwhelmed immediately, he seemed to be acting affectionate, and Concubine Li would not wait for him at all.

It's over.

Seeing the person coming and going, Concubine Li smiled silently, but she didn't wait for that person to return home that night.

She frowned, and ordered to go down: "Go and see where His Highness is."

Without waiting for the maid to go out, the little attendant who had been with Zhou Li went back to the mansion: "Go back to your mother, His Highness is in the wine pavilion of the Qin family, and he said he won't be coming back tonight."

Concubine Li pursed her lips and knew to send someone back to inform her. It seemed that there was no need to worry too much. Since she was in the wine pavilion of the Qin family, everything should be safe.

Little did she know, the person she thought was safe and sound was already drunk and unconscious.

The next day, Zhou Li woke up and found that he was lying on the ground in the private room next door.

In his heart, he slandered his little friend for being unkind, he rubbed his aching head, and went to look for Qin Chu.

Seeing Qin Chu come back with a disappointed face, he knew the reason when he thought about it, did he hit a wall with Qiu Jinning?

"Do you want to drink, Your Highness?"

"Last night, did anyone from the palace come to look for me?" He didn't drink, he drank so much yesterday, the alcohol has not passed.

What Zhou Li is most concerned about now is whether Concubine Li sent someone to look for him. This is the first time he has not returned at night since he traveled through time.

Concubine Li must be very worried.

As a result, Qin Chu said coolly, "No one came to see you, not even one to ask."

Zhou Li was stunned, feeling overwhelmed: "Come on, sister, let's drink."

Still drinking, he didn't believe that Concubine Li could never come to him.

The two people who have both run into a wall with the one they love suddenly feel like they are the same people who have fallen in the end of the world. From modern times to ancient times, the more they chat, the more speculative they become.

Just like modern friends, sitting together, drinking and clinking glasses with arms around shoulders.

In the Third Prince's Mansion, Concubine Li glanced at the sky, and asked lightly, "Has Your Highness come back?"

"No."

"Did you say when you'll be back?"

"nor."

Concubine Li's face turned cold, and when it was dark, Zhou Li was still nowhere to be seen, she got up with a sigh, "Go to the wine pavilion of the Qin family."

She wanted to see how delicious the wine was, so she didn't even go home.

Arriving at the wine pavilion of the Qin family, Concubine Li just got out of the carriage when she met Qiu Jinning with a gloomy face.

Looking at Qiu Jinning's expression, she seemed to be looking in a mirror, and understood that her highness was with Qin Chu.

The chubby little maid of the Qin family was very sensible, and when she saw them coming, she confessed: "Miss and the third prince have been in the room for a whole day."

Concubine Li narrowed her eyes, subconsciously went to call the door, but did not hear any response.

She took a light breath and looked at Qiu Jinning.

In the Qin Family Wine Pavilion, she is a guest, and Qiu Jinning is the future master. Whoever owns the territory has the final say. She believes that Qiu Jinning's mood at the moment is the same as hers.

Although believe that the two people inside will not mess around, they are still a little unhappy and annoyed.

Seeing this, Qiu Jinning looked at the fat maid: "Jar, knock the door open."

Concubine Li couldn't help but smile, when the door opened, and after seeing the situation inside, the smile on the corner of her mouth was instantly withdrawn.

His eyes fell on Zhou Li's hand that was holding Qin Chu.

Concubine Li calmed down, smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, are you going back to the residence tonight?"

Zhou Li got up immediately, with a drunken face, and said in a cute tone: "Go back to the house, go back to the house, my concubine, you came to find me."

Like a puppy seeing a fleshy bone, its eyes are shining, full of joy and dependence.

Concubine Li supported him, and when she walked past Qiu Jinning, she whispered, "Miss Qiu, take care of your own woman."

Qiu Jinning replied softly: "Your Majesty, you have to take good care of your man."

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent, and they must be cleaned up when they are brought back.

After getting into the carriage, Zhou Li hugged Concubine Li through his drunkenness: "Concubine Ai, what did you tell Qiu Jinning just now?"

The voice was so low, as if whispering, he didn't hear clearly, what about women and men?

"What did Your Highness say to Qin Chu?" Concubine Li didn't answer, she sat up straight and left Zhou Li's embrace.

I was still thinking, how should deal with this person?

Zhou Li lost his eyes for a moment, and hugged her again: "I have said a lot, this king is very happy today."

He has found his fellow countrymen and his friends.

"Really, Your Highness, why don't you repeat what you said to her, without missing a single word, for the last day and night." Even though she knew that there would be nothing between this person and Qin Chu, Concubine Li still felt a little uncomfortable.

I talked to other women for a day and a night, and didn't even know to go home, and said was very happy, huh.

Zhou Li looked at the person in his arms: "My concubine..."

Said that one day and one night, he must not be exhausted to death.

Concubine Li suddenly put her arms around his neck, put her hand close to his ear, and lowered her voice: "If Your Highness repeats everything in detail, I will try it with you tonight."

Speaking of this, she blushed and pushed Zhou Li's arms away again.

Zhou Li's eyes lit up, surprise on his face, with a hint of shyness from his daughter: "Really?"

Concubine Li lowered her head, and replied in an inaudible voice: "Yes."

"Then I'll tell you, let's start talking now." Zhou Li was overjoyed, and it happened that he also wanted to reveal his identity.

So he told about the things he and Qin Chu had known each other.

Concubine Li listened quietly, and it was indeed so, she was indeed a woman, she did not expect to come from the same place as Qin Chu.

Seeing her not surprised at all, Zhou Li stared at her with suspicion in his eyes.

Concubine Li returned to her senses and said with a smile, "Why does Your Highness look at my concubine like this?"

Zhou Li also laughed: "Did my concubine already know that I am not the original third prince?"

"The concubine doesn't know, I was shocked when I heard His Highness say such a bizarre thing just now."

The corner of Zhou Li's mouth twitched, can he still pretend to be more decent?

But now is not the time to pursue such matters.

"My concubine, I've finished talking, can I..."

Concubine Li smiled softly and charmingly: "Yes, Your Highness, go take a bath first, and then come and try."

So, Zhou Li rushed to take a bath, and came to the door of Concubine Li's mind, and pushed the door, but the door didn't open.

"Aifei..."

At this time, a maid who served Concubine Li came over: "Your Highness, these are gloves that Concubine Li sewed for you, let you try on the size."

Zhou Li: "..."

This test is not the 'test' he thought of, is it?

"to speak"

Concubine Li: Hmph, can't deal with you yet.?
