Hearing Little Radish Head's thoughts, Meng Jiuan felt amused.
Although he is a knife under Qin Songmo, he does not swing the knife casually.
He had just gone to Jiangnan a while ago. The journey was long, and he pretended to be sick and recuperated in the general's mansion, but he was almost discovered by the people on the second prince's side.
There must be a lot of people involved this time, and some of them are not even in the capital.
It’s okay to take sick leave once or twice to recuperate.
If he took sick leave many times, it would seem that his health as the great general protecting the country was too weak.
If I lose the trust of His Majesty by then, it will be impossible to return to my current position.
However, when he heard the caring tone of Little Radish Head, he couldn't help but lower his head and raise the corners of his lips.
He knew that the future little daughter he had his eyes on would definitely be a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
When he raised his head and looked at Li Shengyi again, his dog eyes were full of light.
Li Shengyi was filled with questions, "What's wrong?"
Meng Jiuan smiled and shook his head, the corners of his lips almost reaching his ears. "Shengyi, when can I be your father?"
"How many points have you accumulated?"
Right now, Qin Songmo is still discussing important matters with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Meng Jiuan suddenly brought up this matter, which not only made Li Shengyi stunned for a moment, but even Qin Songmo and the others stopped talking and turned their heads to look at her.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at Li Shengyi with a smile, "Do I need to go through an assessment to become Shengyi's adoptive father?"
Faced with the Crown Prince's smiling question, Li Shengyi wished he could pry open Meng Jiuan's head to see what was inside his head.
[There are outsiders here, Meng Jiuan, do you want to listen to what you are asking? ! ! !]
"What do you mean you need to take an exam to become my adoptive father? Is that an exam? I'm just worried you'll become arrogant because of my favor!"
[Ahhhh, don't I have any dignity? What if rumors spread that I'm ungrateful? All my impression points will be deducted! All of them!]
If there were no outsiders present in the tea room, Li Shengyi really wanted to grab Meng Jiuan's shoulders, shake him hard, and ask him what he was thinking.
She wiped her face with her hand, then looked up at the man in front of her with a smile that was uglier than crying, "I didn't."
Qin Songmo, who was sitting opposite, used the excuse of drinking tea to hide the smile on his lips.
After he put down the teacup in his hand, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Chang Xiao only remembers to eat and not to be beaten. If we let him have a little daughter so easily, who knows what kind of trouble will arise."
"It's not really an 'assessment' or anything like that. It's just a little fun thing between the two of them."
After hearing her father's explanation, Li Shengyi almost burst into tears. She ran to her father, hugged his legs and shouted:
'Dad! You are truly my dad!'
It was said that her favorite character in the original book was Qin Songmo.
This brain and this train of thought are simply amazing!
Fortunately, she resisted the urge and simply turned around and nodded frantically to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "My father is right!"
Meng Jiuan was still immersed in the sadness that his youngest daughter said she would deduct all his impression points in the future.
Seeing Li Shengyi nodding his head rapidly, he blinked. The former actually saw some grievance in his dog's eyes.
Li Shengyi, [...I lost, completely!]
[Forget it, it's Meng Jiuan's setting that way. He can't do his thinking and other actions at the same time. He can only choose one or the other.]
【Let’s just pretend nothing happened this time. 】
Li Shengyi felt quite tired, but on the other hand, the emotions in Meng Jiuan's dog-like eyes became excited again.
Qin Songmo, who was standing next to him, silently tightened his grip on the cup.
"Your Highness has called off the engagement. Did the Grand Tutor say anything?"
The cold voice was never warmed up even in the tea room.
Qin Songmo just opened his lips slightly and easily changed the subject.
As the prince's teacher, Tutor Liu has been serving the prince since he was young. The two of them are both teachers and friends, and their teacher-student relationship is very good.
Therefore, when Chu Huaiyuan placed the evidence in front of Master Liu, Master Liu almost fainted from anger.
Recalling the scene in the East Palace that day, Chu Huaiyuan pursed his lips. After a long while, he heard him speak, "Don't worry, I have already explained this matter to the Grand Tutor."
"The Grand Tutor will not stop us, even if... his children lose their lives."
Tutor Liu is also the tutor of the current emperor. It is a pity that the current emperor has been blinded by power and beauty since he ascended the throne.
After Chu Huaiyuan was born, Taifu Liu placed all his life's hopes on him, hoping that he would one day become a wise ruler and support the people of the world.
Unexpectedly, he could teach a good student, but could not teach his own children.
Recalling how Taifu Liu sighed repeatedly and shed tears in front of him, Chu Huaiyuan's expression became stern.
Feeling that the atmosphere in the tea room had changed, Li Shengyi tugged at the clothes of the person next to him.
After the other person lowered his head, she looked into his eyes with her cute baby face.
"My father once said that being merciful to others is being cruel to oneself. Your Highness, the people of Great Chu have had their backs bent for years. Only you can make them stand up straight again."
"Everyone else, not only me, but also my father, General Meng, and the people of Great Chu, are worried about other princes succeeding to the throne."
If other people heard this, they would definitely convict Li Shengyi.
But the one who heard this was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Da Chu.
Chu Huaiyuan smiled upon hearing this and raised his hand to gently pinch her small breasts. "I didn't know that Prime Minister Qin could raise such a little flatterer."
"I'm not a flatterer!" Li Shengyi frowned. "Every word Shengyi said is true. Your Highness, you must believe in yourself and can bring a better future to Da Chu."
The babyish voices echoed throughout the tea room.
Seeing the sincerity in the eyes of the person in his arms, Chu Huaiyuan restrained the smile on his lips.
He took a deep breath and stood up to say goodbye. "I've been out for so long that I'm bound to be suspected."
"Since you already know that she is pregnant, I believe you can resolve this matter."
"As for me, I have to work hard for the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people. After all, Shengyi has placed so much trust in me, and I cannot let him down."
When he said this, Chu Huaiyuan reluctantly put down the little bun in his arms.
Bending down to meet her eyes, he softly said, "If Little Twelve seeks favor and enters the palace again in the future, please remember to come and see me."
"I have prepared many interesting things for you. When you enter the palace one day, you can bring them back."
Li Shengyi was not polite to him. He thanked him crisply and then accompanied Qin Songmo and the others to send him to the back door.
Only after Chu Huaiyuan got on a low-key carriage and left the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion did Li Shengyi turn his little face, which was red from the cold, and smile brightly at the two people beside him.
"Daddy, let's have a snowball fight!"
