The two children that Grand Tutor Tong is praised by outsiders are the children of that concubine, and they are only twelve years old.

That year, because he was too young and didn't want to be criticized, he had Tong Jiajia brought back from the manor and brought her into the palace for the imperial selection.

Grand Tutor Tong had a good plan: first, let Tong Jiajia enter the palace, and then when the next imperial concubine selection comes, he can also let his beloved youngest daughter enter the palace, without worrying that anyone would bully her.

At this moment, Yuwen Zheng grasped Ah Li's hand and said, "It seems there are still many things in this world that I don't know."

Ah Li then looked at Yuwen Zheng and asked, "Will Your Majesty feel ashamed of me?"

Yuwen Zheng pulled Ah Li directly into his arms and said, "Some things are not something anyone is born knowing. I will teach you in the future."

"Your Majesty, you are so good to me."

Ahri nestled in Yuwen Zheng's arms, reaching out to hug his waist and nuzzling her head against his chest.

Back then, when they were making a living in the village, the original owner's mother only wanted her two sisters to study more, learn to read and write, and learn how to accept their fate and survive. She was powerless to do anything else.

Seeing Ah Li's sullen appearance, Yuwen Zheng asked, "The sachet hanging on your bed smells nice. What's inside it?"

Ah Li looked up at Yuwen Zheng in confusion, wondering why he had suddenly brought up the sachet, and asked, "Which sachet is Your Majesty referring to?"

There were several sachets hanging on the wall by the bed, but when Yuwen Zheng suddenly mentioned it, Ali couldn't remember them for a moment.

However, after Yuwen Zheng picked up Ah Li and carried her towards the big bed, Ah Li realized that it was all an excuse; he had only thought about it.

Qiu Gu and the others had long been sent outside by the chief eunuch to guard them, and the water in the small kitchen had been boiled.

The chief eunuch also understood that the Imperial Concubine was clever enough to keep the Emperor around, and that other concubines might not be able to catch the Emperor's eye for the time being.
