After Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Miaojin who was standing beside him.

"Miao Jin, you look a lot prettier after not seeing you for a few days."

Xu Miaojin smiled when she heard that, with a look of happiness on her face. This was the expression a girl who married the man she loved should have.

Xu Miaojin was not wearing her wedding dress at this time, which must have been inconvenient.

Came yesterday?

Just as Li Xiuzhu was thinking this, Xu Miaojin said, "Today is the day I am getting married, and I have dressed up carefully."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned.

"You just arrived today? Why don't I see your wedding dress?"

"The prince said it was inconvenient to wear the wedding dress, so he didn't wear it, and I came last night." After a pause, Xu Miaojin continued: "But I have put the wedding dress in the room, and I can change it when I go back later."

Li Xiuzhu nodded. That’s right. Otherwise, it couldn’t explain why Xu Miaojin appeared here so early.

At this time, the prince also spoke up: "Because you are a talented person, it is not convenient to hold a big party and invite people, so I didn't invite you last night."

Li Xiuzhu nodded in understanding, raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

The prince nodded upon hearing this and said, "My mother hasn't been feeling well these past two days. I plan to go down and see you. Have fun."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this.

"Brother is not at home, is it convenient for me to stay in the Prince's Mansion?"

"It's okay. Just pretend to be drunk when you go out later. What's the difference between day and night?"

The two smiled at each other when they heard this. Everything was in the wine.

But the queen is not feeling well? That shouldn't be the case.

Li Xiuzhu planned to take some time to go and take a look. Anyway, there were no peerless masters in the palace now, so it would not be difficult for him to enter that place.

After the prince left, the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed. Zhang Zhenniang was still the one who was most reluctant to let go, but because she had already made the decision, she did not resist. Instead, she took the initiative to add more wine and serve more food.

Looking at the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince's concubine Yu Xuanji snuggling in Li Xiuzhu's arms, she was truly shocked and felt ridiculous.

Before, I only knew that she was here to serve Li Xiuzhu.

Seeing that Zhang Zhenniang hadn't recovered after a long while, Xiao Rongyu smiled and said, "Zhenniang, come here."

Zhang Zhenniang hesitated for a moment, then walked over obediently.

Xiao Rongyu stood up with a smile, pushed Zhang Zhenniang into Li Xiuzhu's arms, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "I am not feeling well right now, Zhenniang, you must serve your husband well for me."

Xiao Rongyu looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "Husband, you see Zhenniang is still reluctant to let go, why don't you help her?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"You are just naughty."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu lifted Zhang Zhenniang's chin.

Zhang Zhenniang trembled and froze. Although she was not a young girl, this was her first time with Li Xiuzhu.

Zhang Zhenniang closed her eyes subconsciously, and Li Xiuzhu did not force her to open her eyes, but just kissed her.

Kissing can quickly bring two people closer together. Of course, this is mainly because the relationship between the two is already special.

Zhang Zhenniang slowly opened her eyes, looked at the second man in her life, and finally smiled gently.

"Does my husband drink?"

As Zhang Zhenniang was talking, she suddenly picked up the wine jug and poured wine, but the wine was not poured into the cup, but into Zhang Zhenniang's mouth.

At this moment, Li Xiuzhu understood.

Isn't this pure imported wine? It turns out that people who know how to deal with this are experts.

It is said that they know what position to change to just by patting their buttocks.

Of course, this shot is definitely of their butts.

Li Xiuzhu drank the imported wine while thinking about something else. The sour, sweet and delicious imported wine was indeed extraordinary.

She waved to Xu Miaojin.

"Miao Jin, come here."

Xu Miaojin paused and quickly shook her hand.

"Sister Xuanji, I can't do this."

Having said that, Xu Miaojin's eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Come on, you'll have to go through this sooner or later. Today I'll teach you."

Huh? Teaching this? Isn't it embarrassing?

Li Xiuzhu did not express any opinion. As a beneficiary, he did not deserve it.

At the same time, the prince left the Prince's Eastern Palace and came to the Imperial Palace.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

He went to see Li Kuo first. Li Kuo looked fine today and seemed to be more energetic. When he saw Li Chengze coming, a smile appeared on Li Kuo's face.

"Didn't you come to see me yesterday? Why are you here again today? Is there something going on?"

Li Chengze heard this and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother has not been in good health these past two days. I didn't go to see her yesterday, so I will go to see her today."

"By the way, come and see how Father's recovery is going."

Li Kuo said with relief: "What can it be? It's just like that, but don't worry too much."

"Life and death are determined by fate and cannot be controlled by human power. Now I only hope that the Imperial Hospital can help me stay alive until the Grand Canal is completed."

The prince reported on the progress of the Grand Canal yesterday.

At the current pace of construction, Fu Wenhan estimates that the project will be completed in two months at the latest.

If the weather is very good, the project can be completed within a month and a half.

Li Kuo was not satisfied with this, so he mobilized twelve of the sixteen guards in Kyoto to go to various places to requisition laborers, and ensured that Fu Wenhan completed the project within a month.

Li Chengze is not optimistic about this.

It's too rushed. Even the current speed can be said to be a miracle. And we have to compress it by one month. If public resentment boils over by then, I'm afraid something big will happen.

However, he couldn't say anything about his father's decision. Anyway, if anything bad happened in the end, it would be his father who would take the blame.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Father is already well. I think he will live for another few decades."

"Haha, stop bragging about me. I know my own body better than anyone else."

After a pause, Li Kuo continued, "Okay, go see your mother."

"...I can't go to see her in my current state. Please comfort your mother for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze bowed and said, "Yes, father, I will take my leave."

After saying this, Li Chengze slowly walked out.

At the same time, Ruan Wenjun, who was in a daze, suddenly looked at the returned Xianxian and asked, "Xianxian, when you saw your master this time, did he mention me?"

Ruan Wenjun had long stopped calling herself "the queen" in front of Kankan, and the relationship between the two was really a bit like that of aunt and niece.

Upon hearing this, Qianqian smiled and said in a soft and clear voice, "Well, your Majesty, be careful with your words. The palace is not safe, and it is not always without people around."

Ruan Wenjun paused, thinking that she had lost her composure.

"Well, didn't I already ask them to back off? It's okay."

Looking at Ruan Wenjun who had developed a love-brain, Qianqian sighed in her heart but smiled and said, "That's true."

"Master did mention it to me, but he didn't say much. Master generally doesn't like others asking about his love life."

"Although I am the master's apprentice, I dare not ask questions without permission."
