The Great Chu Kingdom was not very prosperous in its early years. If the previous emperor had not been brave and good at fighting, and had not personally led the troops to expel the Huns and expand the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom, the Great Chu Kingdom would not be what it is today.
However, such a brave and warlike emperor did many foolish things when he got older.
Among them, he listened to the prince's words, wiped out the Liao family, and personally sent his most beloved Princess An Ning to the sky prison.
In the end, Princess An Ning was almost killed.
Fortunately, the late emperor was good at employing people, so after the crown prince ascended the throne, the Great Chu did not completely disappear in the long river of history.
On New Year's Day, every household in the capital city keeps their doors open and lights red lanterns at every door to celebrate the coming of the new year.
Even though it had only snowed for two days and the accumulated snow had not yet melted, the streets of Da Chu were still bustling with activity.
On the busy street, a soft child's voice was heard, but was soon drowned out by the noisy voices of the crowd.
Li Shengyi blushed as she lowered her head to look at the jade crown the man used to tie his hair. She could vaguely see his eyebrows and eyes.
An embarrassed look appeared on her little face, and she whispered again, "Daddy, please put me down."
"I've gained a lot of weight recently."
Although children don't need to pay attention to body management, Li Shengyi still falls asleep every night touching his round belly.
She had lost some weight a few days ago because she was worried. Now that everything was finally resolved, her appetite has returned.
She had been eating more recently, and when she touched her belly these past two nights, she could clearly feel that it had become a lot rounder.
Qin Songmo held his little daughter's ankles with both hands. Hearing what his little daughter said, he curled the corners of his lips and asked her, "Why? Shengyi likes riding Changxiao's big horse, not daddy's?"
[What's the connection between this and that?]
Li Shengyi frowned, "I'm heavy and will tire Daddy out. Meng Jiuan is different. He's very strong."
Qin Songmo could hear the concern in his little daughter's words. He weighed her on his shoulder and said, "Not heavy."
The six-year-old child was indeed a little heavy, thinking of how skinny she looked when she first came to the prime minister's residence.
Now that he had raised her to this state bit by bit, Qin Songmo suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
The little daughter can look like what she is today thanks to his feeding.
Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Songmo's lips became more and more exaggerated.
The father and daughter were both very conspicuous. Qin Songmo was extremely handsome, and Li Shengyi was exquisite and graceful. Now when they walked on the street, they frequently attracted people to stop and look at them.
There are vendors constantly hawking their wares on the street.
Li Shengyi was a little embarrassed to sit on her father's shoulders at first, but soon her attention was attracted by the hawking sounds.
Especially now she was sitting on her father's shoulders. Although her father was thin, he was quite tall.
Sitting high and seeing far, she could see the busiest corner of the street at a glance.
She patted her father's shoulder with her hand and pointed to a crowded corner in front of her, "Daddy, over there."
Seeing that his little daughter was no longer concerned about whether it would sink or not, Qin Songmo looked in the direction of her finger. Even though he didn't like crowded places, he still walked forward with his little daughter.
Because they were quite far away, Li Shengyi thought that the corner full of people was where a vendor was selling something.
She wanted to watch the fun, but when she got closer, she found a woman in mourning kneeling in the middle of the crowd.
There was an old man lying in front of the woman. Perhaps because he had been dead for many days, the old man's face was sallow. Although the winter in the capital was cold, there was no strange smell coming from him.
"Selling myself to bury my father..."
Thanks to Qin Songmo forcing him to complete his homework every day, Li Shengyi's already smart little head has now almost recognized the characters of the Great Chu.
Seeing the sign hanging around the woman's neck, she blinked and whispered, "Dad, this is pretty much what I imagined."
Li Shengyi still remembers the first time she met her father when she first came here. He asked her to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.
At that time, she had no money on her body. With the plot in her mind, she also thought about begging on the street and saving money to bury Qin Songmo.
Qin Songmo looked through the crowd and saw the scene in the middle of the crowd.
He frowned slightly and was about to leave with his little daughter when he heard her voice above his head.
The corner of his eye twitched slightly, and he took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Qingfeng beside him.
The latter took the silver, squeezed into the crowd and handed the silver to the woman.
Li Shengyi didn't expect that just by saying a few words, his father would take out the money.
She tilted her head and looked down at the other person, "Dad, how do you know what I think?"
Qin Songmo gave the silver to Qingfeng and turned around and left with his little daughter.
The cold wind blew, and he raised his hand to pinch his little daughter's hand that was holding his forehead. After confirming that the back of the little hand was not cold, he spoke in a deep voice.
"In order to prevent Shengyi from doing this in the future, Daddy will first accumulate some merit for Shengyi."
Li Shengyi couldn't stop chuckling when he heard this, "Dad, you're getting better and better at telling jokes."
This time Qin Songmo did not answer because he did not lie.
Chu Yi has been the abbot of Huguo Temple for many years, so it is impossible for him not to have some skills.
Thinking about the other party's reminder to him before, he picked up the little daughter on the street, and then a series of incredible things happened.
He became more and more convinced that everything in the world has cause and effect.
Even if his youngest daughter has the money to bury him in the future, he hopes that the good things he did in his lifetime can protect his youngest daughter and bring her peace, happiness and worry-free life.
"Let's go to the restaurant in front. Are you hungry after walking all this way?"
Li Shengyi followed his gaze towards the restaurant not far away. Seeing the name of the restaurant, he felt familiar. "Isn't this the restaurant opened by the Second Prince?"
Qin Songmo nodded, "This restaurant was originally the place where the Second Prince interacted with people from Daliang State, but now it is owned by the Twelfth Prince."
Chu Huaize's cute little face suddenly popped up in her mind. After hearing what her father said, Li Shengyi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Doesn't that mean I can eat a free meal?"
"When I come again in the future, I only need to state my title as the Twelfth Prince, right?"
Qin Songmo was amused by her unusual train of thought.
He raised his hands, grabbed her arms, and lifted her off his shoulders.
When his warm and cool palm held her small hand and they walked towards the restaurant door together, he said slowly, "You don't have to say the name of the Twelfth Prince. You can also say father."
Before Li Shengyi could nod in response, Qingfeng, who had previously given money to the woman who sold herself to bury her father, caught up with him.
At the same time, Li Shengyi and the others also noticed the embarrassed expression on his face.
"Master, the other party insisted on thanking you in person."
