Before I knew it, two or three hours later, it was getting dark, and the people asked if they wanted to have dinner. Chu Qingli stopped at this time, "You can stay in my house for dinner, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Mrs. Li stood up and stretched, "It's dark?" ”

Chu Qingli saw that everyone was still unsatisfied, and said with a smile, "After eating, if you want to continue, you can stay." ”

"Really? Won't it bother you and the prince? Mrs. Li smiled, she had this intention, but it was just for the sake of face, so it was difficult to speak.

Mrs. Li took the first step to ask for Chu Qingli, "What do other people mean?" "Mrs. Li has a hearty personality, and she is not afraid of offending people, after all, Lord Li is in charge of the household department, and what she holds in her hands is real money, which makes many people red-eyed, and it is too late to slap her.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Chu Qingli let the food come up, and at the same time instructed his subordinates to entertain the entourage brought by the ladies of the various provinces. Today's fun won't end until it's over.

Chu Qing had been sitting for a day, her back hurt, and she pushed the door into the room while beating her back. "I thought the palace had been changed to a gambling house." Xiao Pan hadn't stopped, holding the scroll in his hand, but his eyes were looking at Chu Qingli.

Chu Qing didn't pay attention to Xiao Pan, and hurriedly staggered to the bed, and the clothes fell down directly. "I'm exhausted." Chu Qingli's face was buried in the quilt, and his voice was muffled.

Xiao Pan smiled dotingly, got up and stood up, sat on the edge of the bed and helped Chu Qingli up, "I don't take off my clothes." Xiao Pan helped Chu Qingli press his shoulder, and controlled the strength of his hand, for fear of hurting Chu Qingli.

"Comfortable." Chu Qingli closed his eyes and sighed, and soon his body fell backwards, leaning on Xiao Pan's arms and falling asleep. Xiao Pan lowered his eyes and looked at her sleeping face, his fingers touched her slightly flushed cheeks, looked at it, and couldn't help but lower his head and pecked lightly on her face.

I tasted the sweetness yesterday, and today Chu Qingli hasn't invited yet, and those ladies have come to visit one by one. Among them, Mrs. Li is naturally indispensable, she is the first to come to the palace.

Chu Qingli naturally didn't dare to slack off, and invited her and several other ladies to sit down in the side hall, Chu Qingli said apologetically: "Yesterday was a moment of fun, nothing happened when you returned home, right?" Can adults reproach? ”

Mrs. Li played a card and said nonchalantly, "What are you reproaching for?" He goes to bed early every night, and even if you strike the gong in his ear, he may not be able to hear it. ”

Chu Qingli smiled cooperatively, "Mrs. Li is really good at laughing, this household is in charge of the money of the imperial court, and Lord Li must be in charge of everything." ”

"What am I lying to you about," Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and put the card she had just taken in front of her eyes and looked at it, "He is just lazy, and he will leave everything to his proud protégé to do, and he will be at ease." ”

Chu Qingli quietly looked up at Mrs. Li's face, it didn't look like she was lying, so she secretly wrote it down in her heart, but her face didn't show her feet, "It's best not to blame, I'm afraid that Lord Li won't let Mrs. go out, and then there will be no one to accompany me." Chu Qingli no longer asked about Lord Li, worried that Mrs. Li would become suspicious.

This sentence spoke to Mrs. Li's heart, "I'm idle anyway, as long as the princess is free, I will definitely accompany me." ”

"That's for the best." Chu Qingli was playing cards casually, but he was thinking in his heart, who was the proud protégé in Mrs. Li's mouth, who could make Master Li trust him so much?

"Princess, there is a letter from the Imperial History Mansion, saying that there is a painting in the palace, and the princess is invited to taste it together."

Before Chu Qingli could react, Mrs. Li laughed first, "I haven't seen Mrs. Yushi love painting so much on weekdays, how can I be idle and elegant today?" Mrs. Li looked at Chu Qingli and raised her eyebrows, "Bacheng, it's for you to bring this thing over." Mrs. Li pointed to the mahjong on the table.

"Why don't you ladies go with me, and then we can continue."

"I'm not going, I'll go back to the house first." Mrs. Li was abnormal, and I thought she would be happy to go.

Chu Qingli was surprised, "Listening to Madame Fangcai's words, I thought Madame and Madame Yushi were good friends." "If you don't go to the Imperial Mansion often, how do you know that Mrs. Imperial History doesn't like paintings on weekdays?

Mrs. Li waved her hand, "It's all in the past." ”

Chu Qing was suspicious, but when he saw Mrs. Li turn around to leave, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to give Mrs. Li a small box containing mahjong, "Madam said that it was boring in the house, and you can also have something to do to pass the time." ”

"No need, if I want to have fun, I can come directly to your house, you can't drive me away then." Mrs. Li thought that the people in the house were clumsy, so it was naturally not enough to play with them.

"That's nature."

After sending off Mrs. Li and the others, Chu Qingli did not rush to the Imperial History Mansion, but went to Xiao Pan's study first.

"Today is the end of the day." Xiao Pan was still laughing at her about yesterday's events.

Chu Qingli took these words as an ear to ear, looked at Xiao Pan seriously and said, "Does Master Li of the household department have a proud protégé?" ”

Xiao Pan didn't know where Chu Qingli started to ask this, he thought about it and replied, "But there is this person, what's wrong with him?" ”

"Have you ever seen him?"

Xiao Pan shook his head lightly, "This person lives in a simple place, few people have seen him, and I heard that he still lives in Lord Li's mansion." ”

"No wonder." Chu Qingli sighed softly.

Xiao Pan knocked on Chu Qingli's head, "What are you doing?" What's the wonder? ”

Chu Qingli hurriedly relayed what Mrs. Li said to her to Xiao Pan word for word, "No wonder Lord Li trusts him so much, he rarely has contact with people, there is no complicated relationship, and he is under the nose of Lord Li, so Master Li handed over all the affairs to him to deal with, Ah Pan, do you know which side he is attached to?" Is it a guest of the great prince? "Now it seems that Lord Li's position is not important, the key is that his students, if he can support the second prince and use Lord Li's status in the imperial court, it will naturally be like a tiger.

Xiao Pan raised his eyebrows, "I will send someone to investigate this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Also, when you ask these questions, you must be careful not to make them suspicious. Xiao Pan instructed Chu Qingli to be careful in everything.

"We're just gossiping, maybe something will work for us." Chu Qingli blinked, "Madam Yushi invited me over, I'll leave first, don't wait for me to have lunch." Chu Qingli said as he went out.

This time, Chu Qing left the Imperial History Mansion, but he was not stopped by his subordinates, Chu Qing laughed unconsciously, he actually borrowed the light of mahjong.
