In the Bamboo Forest Garden——

One day more than ten years later.

Li Huashi was lazily leaning on the couch by the window in the room, teasing a big fat black cat with a furry dogtail grass in her hand.

Although the big fat cat's eyes were rolling around following the dogtail grass, it had no intention of moving its claws at all.

This is the little wild cat that Li Huashi picked up on a rainy day during a trip with Hu Qi and Ning Yuanzhou.

Hu Qi stood behind Li Huashi, holding her long black hair in his hands and carefully applying hair care ointment.

The rich scent of herbs permeates the house, mixed with the lingering sandalwood, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

It's as if the soul has been sublimated...

After a while, Li Huashi sighed helplessly.

Sublime shit.

"The Black Mountain Demon is getting lazier and lazier. It ignores me now."

Hu Qi glanced out the window and saw the big black cat lying on the cushion that Li Huashi had prepared for it, its tail wagging lazily.

When he saw that Li Huashi stopped shaking the dogtail grass, he opened his eyes wide and began to stare at Li Huashi with a leisurely and comfortable attitude.

Hu Qi said calmly: "It's better to starve for a few days."

"Meow!!!"

“How can this be possible?!”

Now, as soon as Hu Qi finished speaking, he aroused public anger.

The big fat cat seemed to curse something, then quickly turned over and tried to jump onto the windowsill.

But because he was too fat, he failed and fell down again.

“Meow~~”

The fierce cry also became pitiful, as if it was acting coquettishly and complaining to someone.

"Oh! My Heihei!"

Li Huashi immediately felt distressed and leaned forward and stretched out her hands.

Hu Qi quickly grabbed Li Huashi's waist to prevent her from falling out.

Seeing this, the big fat cat leaned its two front paws against the wall, stood up and ran towards Li Huashi.

Li Huashi held the big black cat in her arms and coaxed it

"Heihei must be hurt from the fall. Mother, please give him a touch. I'll give him a snack later, a big fish! Okay?"

The big fat cat meowed in a low voice, as if answering.

Li Huashi: "Yes, yes, it's all Huqi's fault!! Huqi is evil! Let's beat him!!"

As she said that, Li Huashi grabbed the big black cat's claws and hit Huqi.

Guard Seven: ... A loving mother raises many big and fat cats.

It happened to be a day off today, and Yu Shisan and Qian Zhao, who came to Li Huashi for a barbecue, saw this harmonious "family of three".

I really want to ask when these two will get married?

Although this is a question that almost everyone including Yang Ying and Ren Ruyi wants to ask.

But the few people saw that the eldest princess, who was rumored to be lustful and absurd, seemed to have no idea at all, and Hu Qi seemed to have no intention of exposing her.

At the beginning, the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuchs were. However, every time Li Huashi gave a hint, she acted as if "they actually think Hu Qi likes me" and perfunctorily responded to everyone.

And Hu Qi always looked calm and serious every time, as if they all had misunderstood.

Everyone was so angry that they didn't bother to care anymore.

It’s just because Li Huashi likes the hustle and bustle, so Yu Shisan, Yang Ying and others would occasionally come to Li Huashi’s elegant garden to get together when they are free.

. . . .

Because Li Huashi's disguise technique could help Bai Zhirou age, and because of Liu Ruofeng, Bai Zhirou worked diligently as an empress for her entire life, and only abdicated after Liu Ruofeng died.

As Zhui Ruo guessed, Liu Ruofeng did not have much ambition at the beginning.

But perhaps because he was the only one by Baizhirou's side, Liu Ruofeng gradually became greedy.

From the very beginning, he just wanted a child between him and Bai Zhirou.

After Baizhirou told him that she had injured her body when she was young and was unable to have children.

Perhaps she was worried that when he grew old and lost his looks, Bai Zhirou would no longer be the only one around him.

Liu Ruofeng was worried that he would be disliked and get nothing in the future, so he began to want to control some power.

Baizhirou thought that perhaps this would make him feel less afraid, so she let him go.

Although Zhuiya is concerned about the people in the harem trying to interfere in government affairs, Lihua Shi does not care.

So within an appropriate range, Baizhirou is willing to give Liu Ruofeng some privileges.

It was not until later that his ambitions began to grow and touched upon the interests of the rumor-chasing group.

So Zhui Ruo showed no mercy and directly cut off all the power in Liu Ruofeng's hands.

Touching the interests of chasing rumors means touching the interests of Li Huashi.

So Baizhirou could no longer help him.

Li Huashi spared Liu Ruofeng from punishment because Bai Zhirou rarely liked someone, but only asked him to stay in the harem from now on.

Because some of the people around Baizhirou are cards, Zhui Ruofeng knows all of Liu Ruofeng's complaints and his intention to persuade her.

If it were anyone else, Zhui Ruofeng would have designed a plan to make Liu Ruofeng commit a bigger mistake, forcing Bai Zhirou to punish him.

The reason for chasing the rumor is because Bai Zhirou rarely likes someone, and considering that this person can't cause any big waves anyway.

I just assigned more tasks to Bai Zhirou to keep her busy and ignore that guy for a while.

She is ready to spread rumors. If that person wants to do something behind her back, she will arrange ten or eight handsome men with different styles to enter the harem in the name of benefits.

Baizhirou had never been seduced by anyone with great effort, so it was inevitable that she couldn't resist the temptation.

No matter whether he is passionate, persistent, seeking sympathy, pretending to be pitiful, seductive, cheerful and lively, or aloof, there is always one type that can seduce her.

Even if it doesn't work, Zhui Yao will give him ten or eight people who imitate Liu Ruofeng and make him Wan Wan Lei Qing.

This is enough to make Baizhirou and Liu Ruofeng worried for a while.

Later, Liu Ruofeng might have understood that although Baizhirou was the empress, the one who really held power was Zhui Ruo.

So Liu Ruofeng became obedient later on, only complaining to Bai Zhirou occasionally.

At least apart from the so-called rights, Liu Ruofeng basically has everything he wants.

In this life, Li Huashi never was with anyone until Yu Shisan and the others died of old age.

In fact, because she would not age, by the time Ning Yuanzhou and the others were old, Li Huashi had not contacted them for a long time.

After all, even Yu Shisan, who kept saying he would not get married, finally got married.

After everyone had children, they rarely got together for a barbecue.

So later Li Huashi took Huqi and the Black Mountain Demon to travel around this beautiful land.

Nowadays, very few people can recognize her and Hu Qi's identities, so Li Huashi doesn't need to disguise herself.

Until a hundred years later.

Li Huashi suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she felt lonely and wanted to find someone to accompany her and love herself.

. . .

She thought, perhaps the love she had in the past was enough to comfort her for a long time.

Or maybe, she has already let it go and is no longer obsessed with...

I want love and protection.
