Chapter 474 A man’s mouth is deceptive
Chu Jie didn’t know how many letters he had written to Chu Chenfeng, but he didn’t reply to any of them.
Knowing that Li Mulan might have gone to the border, he wrote many more letters, but still received no response, which made our little emperor very angry.
Xingyi felt mixed emotions. He was probably the most unlucky person in the palace. The young master couldn't do anything to the master, so he would probably have to punish him... Oh!
Inside the palace, Chu Chenfeng took Li Mulan's hand and walked towards the imperial study.
The palace maids and eunuchs along the way stopped to greet and saluted, and only began to whisper after the person left.
"The Prince Regent and the Princess Regent have a really good relationship."
"Yes, a talented man and a beautiful woman are a perfect match."
"And look at the princess. The scar on her eye seems to be gone. She looks so beautiful now."
"Yes, yes, yes. The princess looks so bright and beautiful even without any makeup."
"I can see that too. Our prince is so lucky."
"It's not a loss, Princess. Our regent is the undefeated god of war of our Daqing."
"Hahaha, they are a perfect match, a perfect match."
"Look, just now the prince was holding the princess' hand, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was so gentle."
"Oh, I'm so envious of the princess..."
······
As soon as they arrived at the door of the imperial study, they saw Li Xun and Li Xi who had just come out.
Li Xi was the first to notice Li Mulan, "Sister!"
He ran towards them with excitement, "Sister, brother-in-law, you are finally back."
Li Mulan smiled and patted Li Xi's arm, "It's only been a few months since we last met, Xi'er seems to have grown a lot taller."
Li Xi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Yes, I have grown a lot taller. All my previous clothes can no longer fit into me, so I changed into new ones. It's all because of the medicine my sister left me. I am taller than my father now."
"Okay, I know you're obedient. I'll go back and check if the recipe needs to be adjusted."
"Ah."
Li Xun also came over at this time. He bowed slightly to Chu Chenfeng and gave Li Xi a dissatisfied look, which clearly criticized him for being impolite.
Li Xi touched his nose guiltily and looked at Chu Chenfeng cautiously.
Chu Chenfeng smiled gently and waved his hand, "No need to be polite among family members."
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few months. You look even better now."
Li Xun nodded helplessly at her and said, "You are really brave. If you don't come back, your mother will have to go to the border to look for you herself."
Li Mulan stuck out her tongue, "I told my grandfather about it."
"Humph, if your grandfather hadn't stopped us, we would have all gone."
Li Mulan pulled Chu Chenfeng's sleeve guiltily and asked him to help speak.
Chu Chenfeng immediately spoke up, "It's my fault. Lan'er went to the border because she was worried about me. I made my second uncle and the elders worry about me."
Li Xun naturally couldn't say anything about Chu Chenfeng, and glared at Li Mulan unhappily, "As for your parents, humph, you'll have a hard time when you go back."
"Snapped!"
Something fell to the ground in the imperial study, making a crisp sound.
Seeing this, Li Xun did not want to stay any longer. "The prince must have something to do with the emperor, so we will not disturb you any longer. When you are done, come back to the mansion for dinner?"
Chu Chenfeng glanced at the imperial study and said, "I guess we'll have to have dinner in the palace today. After it's ready, we'll go to the mansion to pay our respects to the elders."
Li Xun nodded, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you, Your Majesty."
Li Xi on the side was dissatisfied, "Second Uncle, I want to be with my sister."
Li Xun gave Li Xi a look and he shut up. He looked at his sister with some grievance. He hadn't had a good talk with his sister for several months.
Li Mulan patted his arm soothingly, "It's okay, I'll be back later, it's the same if you wait for me in the mansion, sister also needs you to help me say a few good words in front of mother."
Li Xi immediately grinned, "Mother can't bear to scold my sister."
"But my mother will cry, and I have no way to deal with her crying."
"Hahaha, okay, I will definitely speak up for my sister."
"Okay, be good! Go back home with your uncle first."
"Well, then sister and brother-in-law should go back early."
"understood."
"it is good."
Li Mulan and Chu Chenfeng responded at the same time, and then they left satisfied.
Li Mulan watched the two of them leave, then turned to look at Chu Chenfeng. Seeing that he was still waiting for her, she smiled and said, "Why don't you go in? The house is about to be torn apart."
Chu Chenfeng smiled helplessly, "Then Madam, won't you accompany your husband?"
Li Mulan shrugged, "I'm afraid I can't protect myself."
When she left, she did not tell the little emperor about it, and he probably found out about it later.
Now, haha, she will probably need to be coaxed for a while when she goes in.
The two men were still arguing outside the imperial study when Gu Changqing came out.
He looked at the two of them speechlessly, "What are you two doing here? Why don't you go in?"
Li Mulan raised an eyebrow, "Young Marquis Gu is here too?"
Gu Changqing sighed, "I'm leaving now. I won't get involved in your mess. I've been hurt enough by you two these days. I'm going back home to rest. You two can only wish you the best."
Gu Changqing glanced at Chu Chenfeng holding Li Mulan's hand, and looked at his friend with interest. Oh, even this wooden stake has changed. It looks good. My father is urging me to get married every day. How about...he also finds a wife?
Chu Chenfeng was the first to step into the imperial study. A memorial paper was thrown towards him and he caught it.
Chu Chenfeng frowned and looked at Chu Jie sternly, "How disgraceful."
Chu Jie stood in front of the desk with his hands on his hips, his face stern and somewhat imperial. Especially in the past few months, the child seemed to have grown a lot taller.
"Once the emperor's uncle left, there was no news at all. What else do I need to do with etiquette?"
"Xingyi has been sending you messages all along."
"But the Emperor's uncle never replied to any of my letters. Later, I wrote to the Emperor's aunt, but she didn't reply either. Humph, it must be you, the Emperor's uncle, who didn't reply to the Emperor's aunt."
Li Mulan was stunned as soon as she stepped into the imperial study, and looked at the uncle and nephew with some embarrassment.
When Chu Jie saw Li Mulan, his expression changed and he immediately ran towards her with a smile, "Auntie Huang, you are finally back. Xiao Jie missed you so much."
Li Mulan laughed twice, glanced at Chu Chenfeng whose face was gloomy, and patted Chu Jie's back, "I'm back, aren't I? Hey, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the emperor has grown taller too?"
Chu Jie looked at Li Mulan with an innocent face, his smile was so adorable, especially the two little canine teeth that were exposed. Li Mulan liked the way he looked at him.
"Yeah, you've grown a lot taller. I've eaten well."
"Well, the emperor is really good."
Chu Jie held Li Mulan's arm and pulled her into the imperial study. "Aunt, why did you leave for so long? I wrote you many letters, but you didn't reply to any of them. I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Chu Jie pursed his lips, looking pitiful, which was completely different from the domineering look he had just shown when confronting Chu Chenfeng.
"How could that be?" Li Mulan glanced at Chu Chenfeng who came in from behind her, "There are so many things to do here, your uncle probably forgot, um, forgot."
"Humph, the emperor's uncle didn't forget, he just didn't want to reply and found me annoying. He was like this before."
Li Mulan licked her lips and didn't know how to speak for Chu Chenfeng.
"Besides," Chu Jie glanced at Chu Chenfeng with a resentful look, "before he left, the emperor's uncle promised me that he would definitely write back. In the end, humph, men's words are deceitful."
"Puch!"
Li Mulan couldn't help it and pinched his little face, "You are a man too."
"But I'm not a man yet, I'm a child."
