"Lao Zhong, do you know why I shouldn't have given Mrs. Xie what I said just now?" After Mrs. Xie left, Li's mansion was a little deserted, Li Kui, wanted to find someone to talk to, but found that her daughter was no longer by her side, and the only person in front of her was the housekeeper, so she sighed and asked.

"Old ...... The old slave is stupid, the old slave doesn't know! The housekeeper's face was terrified, where would Li Kui say these words to him on weekdays? Besides, he was just a subordinate, and he felt that he was unworthy of thinking and answering these words.

Li Kui picked up the tea on the table, although it was already a little cold, he still drank it all, he got up and walked to the housekeeper Lao Zhong, there was no condescending tone, it was more like a conversation between friends: "You don't have to be so surprised, by telling your conjectures, what do you think?" ”

After the housekeeper got permission, he was still a little scared and trembled and clenched his fists and said, "The old slave thinks that Xiangye may have a more suitable candidate in his heart." ”

After Li Kui heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, he was worthy of being the person next to him, who had been with him for so many years, and had gone through some ups and downs, and he could still guess his thoughts.

"Yes, I do have the right person in mind." Li Kui turned the teacup in his hand and stomped back and forth.

The right person in his heart is His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is ready to propose to the emperor to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to relieve the disaster, firstly, to improve the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince, and secondly, he also wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be trained, otherwise this matter is only afraid that the King of Qi will take the lead.

"Sir, the carrier pigeon is here!" The housekeeper shouted in an old voice that he had been in the Li Mansion for many years, and he was a little older than Li Kui.

Li Kui's thoughts were pulled back, and his eyes turned to the carrier pigeon parked at the edge of the pavilion and on the birdcage.

"It's from Cai'er." Li Kui took a few steps forward to take off the pigeon, and the cloth tied to his feet, just by looking at the patterns on the cloth, he knew the origin of the letter.

Li Kui opened the letter with joy and wanted to know how her daughter was doing? But after reading the letter, I had mixed feelings.

"It seems that the disaster relief cannot be done by His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Kui said as he threw the cloth into the carbon basin.

Cai'er said in the letter that the prince and his daughter did not have a round house, and in the past few days, because of disaster relief, they have been busy sleeping in the study.

He couldn't let this continue, he wanted to hold his grandson for the rest of his life!

Who should go? Li Kui paced back and forth in the pavilion in his back garden, very undecided, if he let Mrs. Xie's nephew go, I was afraid that he would not go for disaster relief, but for greed for money.

Although this kind of thing often happened in the past, when his henchmen did this, he only turned a blind eye, but now the situation is very different, he naturally wants to stand in the perspective of his daughter, if he recommends Mrs. Xie's nephew to go, the matter is not done, it is not his face alone.

Li Kui had more and more worries in his heart, and finally almost thought about all the ministers of the court, but found that there was no suitable one who could let King Qi go, for fear that he would steal the limelight from His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Looks like I have to go this time!" Li Kui thought about it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

……

"Your Highness, you have been busy with government affairs in the past few days, and your heart can't share your worries, so I went to the small kitchen and boiled this red date lotus seed porridge by myself." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't go to see Li Xin'er, Li Xin'er first took care of her own reserve, and then under Cai'er's idea, she thought of boiling this bowl of porridge to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past few days.

"Thank you for being so sweet, but Xin'er, I guess you won't see me for a while." The prince lowered his eyes, the matter of disaster relief, he wanted to ask his father for his life, for so many years, he had the name of a prince on his head, and the king of Qi pressed him everywhere in his actions, and now he must do something in order to sit firmly on the throne of the prince of the East Palace.

"Huh? Where is Your Highness going? Can you bring your heart with you? Li Xin'er listened to the prince's words, and her heart was crumpled at the moment, they just got married, but for dozens of days, the number of times she saw His Royal Highness the Prince, she could count it with one hand, and today His Royal Highness the Prince said that she wanted to separate, not to mention how sad she was.

"There is a serious frostbite in the north, and the imperial court must send people to relieve the disaster, and many ministers have pushed back and blocked, and there are a bunch left, but it is unreliable, think about it, or I have to go." The prince didn't look up when he said this, but the red date and lotus seed porridge on the table, the heat kept rising, and the aroma hit his nose.

"Xin'er wants to accompany His Highness to go with him!" Li Xin'er was resolute and wanted to accompany the prince.

The prince shook his head and said: "Xin'er, I am not going to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to disaster relief, the road is dangerous, I heard that because most of the grain crops have been destroyed by frost, there are already bandits over there, but some are not settled with a little silver, the court must use force to suppress, you follow me, but it is too dangerous!" ”

"But......" Li Xin'er wanted to continue to persuade.

was interrupted by the prince, who picked up the porridge on the table and changed the topic: "Your porridge is thick and thick, and the fragrance of jujube and lotus seeds are all integrated into the porridge, which is very suitable for my taste, you are attentive." ”

Li Xin'er sighed helplessly, and hurriedly instructed: "Then Your Highness must be careful in everything." ”

The prince nodded, and when he spoke, he had already drunk most of the bowl of porridge.

"I know, after I leave, I still need you to take care of the big and small things up and down the East Palace, so don't work too hard." The prince didn't have much appetite in the first place, but he looked at Li Xin'er, so he just stood in front of him and drank half a bowl, and he really couldn't drink the rest.

"Okay, Xin'er still has a request." Li Xin'er was so worried when she thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to go to danger, and the north, which was far away from the imperial city, she didn't know how long it would take, how could she not remember?

"Say it." The prince did not look up, his eyes stayed on the map in front of him, and he was studying which road was closer to the disaster area in the fastest time.

"If Your Highness is free along the way, write a letter back, so that Xin'er also knows how the situation is on your side, so that you can feel at ease." When Li Xin'er said this, some tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, she thought that after marrying into the East Palace, she would be able to stay with His Royal Highness the Prince, but now it seems that the days of staying together are still ahead.

"Hmm...... When the time comes, I'll write when I have time. The prince still hadn't looked up, she had found a way to reach the disaster area as quickly as possible.
