Chapter 21: The liberated serfs sing



"Go back home? Why!"

Li Shengyi turned his head away with a puzzled look on his face.

[Dad, shouldn't you be standing up now?! Stand up and throw the Fifth Prince out! That way you can become the hero in the future!]

[Although I don't want you to have anything to do with Su Jinrou, but Su Jinrou is the heroine. She has the aura of a heroine, and you can't escape her.]

[Since you can't escape, why not just lie back and enjoy it? No, why not kick the Fifth Prince off the throne, and you become the male lead, and the serfs will sing, and the Prime Minister's Mansion won't be confiscated in the future!]

Qin Songmo didn't understand what the "male lead" and "female lead" meant.

At this moment, he only lowered his head to look at his little daughter, and then his thin lips opened slightly, "You, can hear me?"

Li Shengyi nodded, the confusion on his face growing even more intense. "Why not? You just covered my ears, not blocked them."

With a look of forbearance between his brows, Qin Songmo loosened his hands that were covering her ears and pinched her cheek with his cold fingers.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight."

Li Shengyi uttered an "Ah!" "I know. What's it called? Royal secrets? Telling them out will get you beheaded."

Raising his hand and pinching his straight nose, Qin Songmo responded, "The palace banquet will be in two days. If what happened today is exposed, both you and I will die."

"Shengyi, why do you know so much?"

I asked the question that had always been in my heart.

When Li Shengyi was first taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Songmo sent someone to investigate her identity.

But there was nothing.

She seemed to appear out of thin air. Before that day, there was no five-year-old child named Li Shengyi in this world.

And her voice, what she understands.

Qin Songmo picked up the cold tea at hand and took a sip. The slightly cool and bitter taste instantly exploded on his tongue.

Li Shengyi blinked, not quite understanding what he meant by the question.

After a long while, she finally spoke, "If I say I'm a fairy and therefore know a lot of things, would you believe me, Dad?"

Seeing Qin Songmo frown, she laughed again, "Just kidding, actually it's because... children from poor families have to grow up early."

"My parents taught me since I was little, to speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts."

"Although my parents passed away early, I'm smart, so I understand these social customs. Is that strange?"

After listening to her explanation, Qin Songmo looked at her deeply with his dark pupils.

Finally, he put down the teacup in his hand and nodded, "It's getting late. The owner of the jewelry store will come tomorrow."

"Pick out some jewelry you like, and I'll take you to the palace the day after tomorrow."

Li Sheng saw that he was about to leave, and immediately jumped off the chair with him, "Dad, aren't you going to wait for the Imperial Concubine to come with you?"

The man paused and whispered, "No more waiting. What did I tell you just now, huh?"

"Dad said that what happened tonight should be treated as if it never happened and no one should tell anyone about it."

There are still a lot of people on the street, but much fewer than when it just gets dark.

The carriage did not stop at the door of the restaurant, but at a corner.

After Qin Songmo waited for his little daughter to get on the carriage, he turned his head to look at Qingfeng behind him.

The latter bowed and clasped his fists towards him, "I've found out everything, sir."

Qin Songmo put on the silver mask again, and nodded, making it impossible to guess what expression was behind the mask. Then he lifted his clothes, walked, stepped onto the horse stool and got into the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Qingfeng sat with the coachman.

The night breeze was cool. He turned around and looked at the sign of Manxiang Garden, his eyes and brows showing a deep expression.

Daughters' Day is the second largest festival in the Chu State.

This period is one of the busiest times in the country.

It is also a time when some people take advantage of the chaos to abuse their power.

-

After taking a short nap in the afternoon, Li Shengyi, who had just returned from the market, sat in the carriage and fiddled with the little rabbit lanterns along the way.

Qin Songmo was sitting beside her. He saw her touching the little rabbit's ears, then touching the little rabbit's body. A faint smile appeared between her eyebrows on her face after she took off the mask.

"You like rabbits so much?"

Li Shengyi nodded.

Just when Qin Songmo thought that his little daughter Jiajia always liked these soft and small animals.

Suddenly, a clear child's voice was heard in the carriage.

"Dad, have you ever tried spicy rabbit head?"

His expression froze, and Qin Songmo shook his head, "No."

"What about spicy rabbit cubes? Have you ever tried rabbit ears?"

Qin Songmo is ill and usually has no desire to eat, let alone try snacks from outside.

His repeated nodding changed the way Li Shengyi looked at him.

Those clear almond eyes were filled with pity. "These are delicious. You must try them someday."

"The rabbit head is so tasty, fragrant and delicious!"

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to raise her hand to wipe the non-existent saliva from the corner of her lips.

So greedy.

Although the Prime Minister's Mansion has a special chef to cook, the food is also delicious.

But due to Qin Songmo's physical condition, the meals in the Prime Minister's Mansion were all very light.

Only a few days had passed, and Li Shengyi was already talking nonsense.

So when she saw the little rabbit lanterns on the street, the first thing that popped into her mind was, if such a big rabbit was real, how delicious would it be if it was made into spicy food!

I originally thought my little daughter liked rabbits because they were lively and cute.

Qin Songmo was also thinking of asking his servants to prepare a few rabbits and send them to Shuiyunju.

After listening to what his daughter said and seeing the pity in her eyes.
