Somehow, some people saw the two of them interacting like this and couldn't help but ship them as a couple, thinking that the two of them were quite suitable for each other.
"You two live a very happy life together, the man tills the fields and the woman weaves, it's truly enviable."
Upon hearing Li Youran's words, Li You Ran spat out a mouthful of tea, and Liu Zhiyuan was so startled that he almost dropped the kettle.
"You Ran wouldn't dare to speak recklessly. I am an upright person and have no homosexuality."
Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly explained to Li Youran, afraid that she would misunderstand. He regretted that he usually disliked sunbathing, which made him pale and lacking in masculine charm; otherwise, he wouldn't be weeding here so late at night. Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyuan decided that starting tomorrow, he would go out to sunbathe and do farm work after the sun had been at its strongest for ten days, hoping to develop a beautiful and healthy tan as soon as possible.
Kang Lei had no idea what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking, and simply coughed awkwardly. He also felt quite uncomfortable; normally, Liu Zhiyuan managed all the affairs of the household, acting like the mistress of the house. Thinking of the mistress, Kang Lei glanced at Li Youran, but thankfully, in the darkness, she didn't notice him looking at her.
"What exactly is the reason you summoned me here?"
If you really can't figure out what's wrong with Tang Lei, just say so. Why bring her here?
"Brother Liu and I have come up with an excellent plan to get the Emperor to cancel the engagement."
As Tang Lei spoke, he glanced at Liu Zhiyuan. This plan was actually Liu Zhiyuan's idea; he had forced himself into it, simply wanting to gain favor with Li Youran. However, the factory workers were worried that Liu Zhiyuan would mind. Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan's expression didn't change, Tang Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this kid was truly loyal.
"Given what's happened at the Imperial Brother-in-Law's residence, the wedding naturally won't proceed as planned. This gives us ample time to handle the situation. I intend to..."
"I have found a way to resolve the engagement, and I will have the Emperor cancel it in the next few days."
Before Liu Zhiyuan could finish speaking, You Ran interrupted him. Liu Zhiyuan looked at Tang Lei, and Tang Lei looked at Liu Zhiyuan. The two looked at each other in silence, and neither spoke for a long time.
"I've heard that Beijiang Yu and Nanjiang have started another war, trying to plunder our land. What's the current situation?"
Li Youran looked at Tang Lei and said that Tang Lei immediately got into the zone after hearing Li Youran's words. He used a few pebbles to represent the Southern Frontier, the Northern Frontier, and the current Great Sage Dynasty.
"Well. Judging from the current situation, once a war breaks out, it will probably take at least a year or two to quell it."
Liu Zhiyuan, everyone knows about warfare, but even he knows the current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Great Sage Dynasty, facing a double threat. The court has been discussing this issue for some time, but no best solution has been found, because any approach would only address one aspect while neglecting the other, offering no perfect solution.
At this point, Li Youran couldn't help but mention the matter of Daoist Qiufeng to Zhiyuan and Tang Lei. Daoist Qiufeng's purpose in coming down the mountain this time was to protect the Great Sage Dynasty and overturn the situation in the Great Sage Dynasty.
Li Youran initially didn't believe it, but after hearing Tang Wei and Liu Zhiyuan's analysis, she realized how dangerous the Great Sage Dynasty's situation was. This made Li Youran even more convinced that Daoist Qiufeng was no ordinary person.
"If Daoist Qiufeng is truly no ordinary person, then perhaps our Great Sage Dynasty really can be saved."
After a long while, Tang Lei slowly said that he had to admit that Daoist Qiufeng looked like he had the bones of an immortal, unlike ordinary people.
The time since Old Madam Feng's passing was almost over, and all the necessary ceremonies had been completed. The most important thing now was dealing with her injuries. Early the next morning, You Ran got up early, dressed in a plain-colored outfit, and even removed all her hair ornaments. Although she didn't really need to dress like that, Li You Ran felt it was better to avoid trouble.
"The Prime Minister's wife?"
Li Youran had barely stepped into the palace when he overheard people around him discussing the Prime Minister's wife. The reasoning was that the Prime Minister's wife had passed away long ago, and there was no news of the Prime Minister having remarried recently.
"So it's Princess Jiahe. Please have a seat here."
As soon as Li Youran stepped into the crowd, she was grabbed by several enthusiastic princesses. Adhering to her principle of sociability, Youran smiled and agreed. Although she wasn't very familiar with these princesses, they were all of equal status, making conversation more relaxed.
"I just heard you talking about the Prime Minister's wife, but I haven't heard anyone mention the Prime Minister getting married."
Li Youran knew that the people present were all straightforward and outspoken, so he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Jiahe is unaware that the Prime Minister did not invite any guests or hold a grand banquet for his wedding, saying that it was a special time for the country and everything should be kept simple."
The speaker was Princess Taiping, who was cracking melon seeds as she addressed the crowd.
"I heard that the prime minister's wife was originally the wife of one of his subordinates, but his subordinates couldn't stand the prime minister's behavior and offered his wife to him."
Upon hearing Princess Taiping's words, Li Youran's eyes widened in astonishment. He had heard of loyal servants, but he had never heard of a servant so devoted that he would even offer up his own wife. He gaped in disbelief.
