Li Qingyou's face fell when she heard this. She watched helplessly as her cornucopia became someone else's, and she had to add to it. This was tantamount to inserting a knife into her heart.

If you don't go, you won't go even to death.

"Why don't we go to the theater?" Adi said in a good temper: "I heard that a new theater troupe came to Liyuan Pavilion recently and they sang very well."

She doesn't understand the lyrics of the babbling opera, and she doesn't like to listen to the opera. She doesn't like it.

"Otherwise, a new antique shop has recently opened in the West Market. I heard that there are many gadgets in it. Should we go and check it out some other time?" Adi tried another plan.

Not interested.

"Otherwise..." Adi is still thinking about what other interesting places there are in the capital. In fact, he hasn't been here for long and is not familiar with many things.

Li Qingyou interrupted him, "Go and do your work, I'll just go out by myself."

Adi is no longer what he used to be. He leaves early and comes home late every day. Li Qingyou felt distressed several times when he saw the tired look in his eyes that could not be concealed.

There was a hint of gloom in Adi's eyes, and then the corners of his eyes drooped, the corners of his mouth pursed, and his pitiful little eyes flashed for a second, "Sister, are you angry with Adi? Can you stop being angry?"

Li Qingyou, "..."

The painting style seems a bit strange?

The next moment, Adi put his hands together and took Li Qingyou into his arms. He buried his head on her shoulder and rubbed her back and forth, just like a large animal, just like when he was a child.

It just changed from a small one to a big one.

Li Qingyou leaned passively in Adi's arms, habitually raised her hand to pat his back, and rubbed the top of his head with her other hand.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Qingyou found a familiar rhythm. Although she was very happy to meet again this time, she still felt that there was something different from before. Adi was still the same Adi, but he was no longer the same Adi.

The little sister she once doted on turned into a younger brother, and now she has become a mature man, although his face is still a little immature, but his behavior is completely mature. The changes in the middle suddenly hit his eyes. Li Qingyou still has a little bit.

Maladaptive.

So living here these days feels like an awkward guest.

It was not until the childhood Adi and the current Adi gradually overlapped that Li Qingyou completely relaxed and comforted his Adi repeatedly. The interaction between the siblings was interrupted by Princess Duanyang who broke in from outside.

"You..." The little princess looked at the two of them in shock, her big eyes filled with tears and full of disbelief.

She hasn't even gotten married yet, and her consort dares to show her face to the public. No, he has brought her home. How can he still do it after they get married?

The voice came from behind Adi, but he was a head taller than Li Qingyou, blocking her line of sight like a wall. She couldn't see anything. Li Qingyou tried hard to push him away but failed.

In the end, it was her brother who took the initiative to let go of Li Qingyou, and she saw the person behind him. Since she had never met Princess Duanyang before, but she also heard that her brother was the consort, and combined with the other party's dress, Li Qingyou

Just made a rough guess.

Just as he was about to say hello and explain, Adi's voice sounded first, "I have met Her Highness the Princess."

The voice that had cooled down was completely different from the gentle and caring one just now, and there was only a polite and unfamiliar look in his eyes.

After all, the little princess was young, and she had been taught to act like a princess since she was a child. Now she personally witnessed the consort Lu Xing cheating on her, and she couldn't stand it, so she stamped her feet hard and ran away.

"What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and chase her?" Seeing that his brother was still standing still, Li Qingyou pushed him, "That's the princess."

"What's wrong with the princess?" Adi was unmoved.

I used to think that since Li Qingyou was dead, it didn't matter who he married, but now that he knows she is still alive, this princess is unnecessary.

He wanted her to go back and make a big fuss, so it would be best to cancel the marriage directly. Although this would be a little disadvantageous to him, the real trump card in his hand was not her, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Li Qingyou hates that iron is not made of steel. He pokes hard with his fingers. Adi smiles playfully. You can poke as much as you like. I just won't go. What can you do?

Unfortunately, it was not him who had the final say whether to go or not. Not long after, someone from the palace came and directly announced that the No. 1 scholar in Xinke had entered the palace to meet with him.

Li Qingyou was very anxious and wanted to explain together, but was stopped by Adi.

One thing is that no one is allowed to enter the palace without being summoned.

Secondly, he could handle this matter by himself, and there was no way he would implicate her.

After a while, Adi, who had changed into his official uniform again, entered the palace under the worried eyes of Li Qingyou.

When Princess Duanyang complained to the emperor, Adi was not expecting this. He only said one thing about it, "That's my sister."

The furious emperor, empress and Princess Duanyang collectively lost their temper.

The empress gave her beloved daughter a reproachful look and burst into tears without understanding what was going on. This was completely unworthy of her status as a royal princess.

When she turned to her brother, she put on a motherly smile, comforted him, and left him to have dinner in the palace.

However, what is fake is fake. The first person in the founding of this dynasty, the new champion scholar, and the consort of Princess Duanyang, had checked out my brother before the emperor proposed marriage. Naturally, it was clear that this so-called sister was not her biological sister. However,

She's just a sworn sister.

"It's good to be grateful, but there is a difference between closeness and distance, and men and women should be careful. I heard that your sworn sister has not yet gotten married, so it would be inappropriate to ruin her reputation..." The old emperor said with a hint of knocking, "

Since she is kind to you, she is also kind to the royal family, so why not give her a title..."

Before the word "county lord" could be uttered, my brother suddenly knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground, "Your Majesty is wise and must not do this."

The county lord is the only official rank for non-royal unmarried women besides princesses and princesses. Like officials, they have a fief, and if the emperor is generous, they will also be given a fief.

At this moment, the old emperor's exit was the county master, which was very generous, but my brother did not dare to accept it.

His sister Qingyou once taught him that there is no free lunch in the world. After the county head was sealed, he was immediately followed by a fiancée, and he had no place to cry.

Even if there is no marriage, he is not willing. He is enough to protect his people, and there is no need to dominate this or that.

The old emperor was unwilling to give up, so Adi used his sharp tongue to quote scriptures and state from various aspects that he could not give it to the county lord. In the end, the old emperor felt that if he tried to forcibly seal him again, he would be going against the will of heaven.

Only then did he give up.

The matter of conferring the title was finally over. The old emperor was old, frail and suffering from diseases. He went to rest after dinner. The queen also left the banquet. Only Princess Duanyang refused to leave.

Adi was too lazy to bother with her. After a while, he found an excuse and left, ignoring the little spark in the little princess's eyes.

The little princess is not very old. She is loved by thousands of people. She has been pampered and grown up, and she does not know how to observe words and emotions. But no matter how young she is, she is still a woman. She has a natural intuition that is unique to women. She feels the relationship between the consort and his sister.
