Li Yunhe left the palace and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he walked into the main hall, he felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed a little different.
"Dad, Mom, the child is back."
Prime Minister Li slammed his hand on the table. "You are so confused! Who told you to take the little princess to Xinglin County without a word?"
Li Yunhe raised his eyebrows. It turned out to be about this matter. He thought his father wanted to arrange a marriage for him because he saw the two princes got married.
"Without a word," Li Yunhe walked to an empty chair and sat down, "The little princess left a letter for the emperor."
Prime Minister Li was so angry that he glared at him fiercely.
"The little princess is the apple of the eye of the royal family, her precious darling. Have you ever considered that if something happens, the emperor will hold you accountable?"
"No."
"What can't I do? Your father has been the Prime Minister for so long, how could I not understand the Emperor?"
Not to mention the emperor, even he himself would want to beat his son if he were to bring him in.
His son is a smart man and never gives him any worries. He is very pleased about this. He didn't expect that this kid has been waiting for him with a big plan.
During this period, the emperor looked at him with a gloomy look when he went to court, which made him uneasy and worried that something might happen to the little princess.
"I won't let anything happen to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Seeing that she needed help, he couldn't ignore it, and with him around, he naturally wouldn't let anything happen to her.
Even if I lose my life, I will protect her.
"They've all returned safely," Madam Li poured Prime Minister Li a cup of tea. "Master, please don't talk about your son anymore. If the little princess wanted to go, your son couldn't stop her."
Worried that Prime Minister Li would continue with this topic, Mrs. Li quickly changed the subject.
"Did you meet your second sister and the others? I heard they also went to Xinglin County. Is your second sister okay?"
"Second sister is fine, mother, you don't have to worry."
Prime Minister Li drank the tea handed to him by Madam Li, and his stern face was no longer frowning. He put down the tea and talked about the thing that Li Yunhe least wanted to mention.
"When the Second Prince got married last time, did he find a suitable girl?"
"Look, I almost forgot about this. Come on, tell me about it."
The second prince said he would help his son find a partner, but he must be lying to them.
Under the gaze of the two, Li Yunhe shook his head.
"No, I know what's going on with my child. Don't worry about it, Daddy."
Then he stood up and said, "The child will go back to the house to rest first."
The two looked at his departing back with helpless expressions.
Madam Li sighed softly, "It seems Yunhe really doesn't like the girl."
Could it be some gay guy?
Thinking of this, Madam Li stood up hurriedly and said, "Master, I'll go ask Yun He if he's gay, so that I can be mentally prepared."
Otherwise, she would be expecting her son to have someone he likes every day, but when her son brought a man back, the master would definitely not be able to accept it.
Prime Minister Li: “…”
Mrs. Li didn't care about Prime Minister Li's expression and went out to the main hall to follow Li Yunhe.
Li Yunhe walked to the door of his house, heard footsteps, and stopped.
"Mom, is there anything else?"
"Let's talk inside."
When the two entered the house, Mrs. Li's attention was attracted by the painting hanging on the screen behind Li Yunhe's desk.
Li Yunhe saw her staring at the painting and subconsciously moved his body to block it.
He felt a little annoyed, wondering why he forgot to put the painting away.
"Mom, what do you want to say?"
When Mrs. Li entered the room, she saw the person in the painting clearly. Now seeing Li Yunhe blocking the painting like this, she had already figured out the answer to the question she wanted to ask.
The man in the painting is handsome and elegant, with a smile on his face as he pushes the little princess on a swing.
The expressions on the two people's faces are painted very vividly, which shows that the painter put a lot of effort into it.
No wonder my son always likes to go to the Prince’s Eastern Palace. Could it be that the person he loves is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Does the prince know?
Madam Li was in a mess. Her son's behavior would be useless. He was a homosexual, but the Crown Prince still had to carry on the family line.
"mother?"
Seeing that his mother was still standing there with a changing expression but not saying anything, Li Yunhe called out to her again.
Worried that she might misunderstand, he explained, "This painting was previously drawn for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the little princess. I thought the picture was beautiful, so I drew another one."
This sounds doubtful.
The picture was so beautiful that I painted another one and hung it in the most conspicuous place in the house. How could it be so simple?
Mrs. Li looked serious.
"He'er, tell me honestly, do you have other thoughts about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Other thoughts?"
Li Yunhe frowned, "My son is loyal to Tianqi and has no other thoughts."
He is not trying to usurp the throne, so what could he be thinking about?
Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Madam Li said bluntly, "Mother is asking if you are gay, so that you can be mentally prepared."
Li Yunhe: “…”
No wonder my mother's expression was so interesting just now. It turned out that she felt that he had other thoughts about the prince.
"Mother, what are you thinking about? Isn't there Her Royal Highness the Princess up here?"
Mrs. Li felt relieved when she saw his reaction.
After hearing his next words, she excitedly said, "Even the little princess can't do it."
The little princess is so young and the age difference is too big. How could the emperor possibly marry the little princess to his son?
No wonder the son was not in a hurry. It turned out that he wanted to wait for the little princess to grow up.
When I think about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
Li Yunhe looked helpless, "Mom, I know."
There's no need for his mother to tell him about this. He will naturally stop having those inappropriate thoughts.
Ever since that day, she seemed unwilling to get close to me.
Judging from her current personality, she probably thinks she is an independent person, not someone's reincarnation.
That's why he doesn't want to get close to me.
In fact, he already knew the result would be like this when he gave the answer, but he couldn't lie to her.
"Then you have a good rest. Mom is going out."
Mrs. Li saw that he looked worried and turned away.
Prime Minister Li was waiting in the main hall for Madam Li to come back. When he saw her come in with a sad face, his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that his son was really gay? What would happen to the incense of his old Li family?
"Madam, is He'er really gay?"
He asked anxiously.
"no."
"Why do you look so sad?"
Isn’t this a good thing? It means the Li family’s incense will be preserved.
"Don't you think your son treats the little princess differently?"
Prime Minister Li recalled the one-year-old birthday gift that Li Yunhe had carefully prepared, as well as his expression of "I would never let anything happen to the little princess even if I die", and stood up suddenly.
"This brat is such a beast. The little princess is still so young."
"Don't get excited, sir. This is all speculation."
Mrs. Li quickly advised.
"That's right," Prime Minister Li sat back in his chair, then stood up again, remembering what Li Yunhe had said before about not rushing to get married.
"It's not speculation, he wants to wait until people grow up."
"That depends on whether the emperor agrees," Madam Li suddenly understood. "That's not something we should worry about."
The emperor would definitely not let his son compete with the little princess, who is such a good cabbage.
Prime Minister Li regained his composure and said, "That makes sense. We shouldn't be worried."
