"Princess, are you awake?"
Bai Zhi, who had been guarding outside the door, heard some movement inside the house and immediately pushed the door open.
"What time is it now?"
"To answer your princess, it's almost noon."
It is said that staying up late is harmful to the body. Jiang Li felt that he had slept for such a long time but still had no energy.
"Where's the prince?"
I don’t know when it started, but Jiang Li always habitually looks for Gu Qingchen. Of course, she calls this phenomenon pseudo-dependence.
After all, they now live in the palace and are nominally a couple, so of course she has to care about Gu Qingchen.
"The prince left early this morning and told everyone not to disturb you. Look, the Ninth Princess has been staying in her room the entire day."
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
While putting on her makeup, Bai Zhi was shocked to see her princess's face slowly turning red.
"No problem, you continue. I'll go find the Ninth Princess when you're done. The little girl is at the age where she likes to have fun. Don't bore her to death."
Jiang Li touched his hot face and quickly drove the image out of his mind.
Really, she looked at herself in the mirror, especially her lips painted with lipstick, and she actually remembered that she and Gu Qingchen were in bed last night...
Help!
Jiang Li, you stinking scoundrel! Stop thinking about this nonsense!
After taking several deep breaths, Jiang Li felt her pounding heart slowly calm down.

"Princess, this is a letter from the General's Mansion."
Just after taking the Ninth Princess to have lunch, the steward brought in a note, saying that it was sent from the General's Mansion.
When she opened it, she saw that it was Xue Rou inviting her over.
"Aunt Huang, can I come with you?"
Before Jiang Li opened her mouth, Gu Yuyan asked first, fearing that Jiang Li would leave her alone in the palace.
Thinking that we were all family, he nodded and said, "If you don't find it boring, then come with me. I'll be back later, and I can even take you to the night market to buy some snacks."
"Okay, okay."
Gu Yuyan clapped her hands excitedly.
After all, the Ninth Princess is just a child. There are many rules in the palace. Even if no one is taking care of her, the rules that she should follow cannot be abolished.
Only when she was with Jiang Li did Gu Yuyan feel an indescribable sense of security. She even thought that if Jiang Li was her mother, she would definitely be the happiest child in the world.
Jiang Li didn't know that she almost became a mother without any effort. She turned around and told Bai Zhi to prepare some gifts. About three incense sticks later, she changed her clothes and went to the general's mansion.
"Godmother."
After all, the Ninth Princess was there, so Jiang Li called her by her external name.
After Xue Rou finished her greetings, she quickly welcomed the person into the mansion.
However, as soon as we entered the door, the atmosphere became tense.
"Why are you here?!"
Hearing his sister was coming, Jiang Mubai ran out excitedly, but he ran into that little devil, the Ninth Princess!
"Mu Bai! What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you bow to the princess and the wangfei?"
Xue Rou glared at her youngest son. Ever since he was a child and was scolded by the Ninth Princess after entering the palace, he would get angry whenever the Ninth Princess was mentioned.
"No need to be so polite, brother."
Seeing the two of them staring at each other, Jiang Li quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Can you recognize me?"
Gu Yuyan was stunned at first. This shouldn't be the case. She hadn't seen this brat for a long time. Besides, she had lost so much weight now. How could he recognize her at a glance?
"Humph, what are you talking about, you little bitch? Even if you turn into ashes, I can still recognize you!"
Jiang Mubai will never forget that it was this naughty girl in front of him who said she would take him to see the Dragon Roar Sword bestowed by the emperor, and then tricked him into an uninhabited palace and locked him up!
When he was found by everyone, his pants were wet!
He will never, ever, forgive this little bitch!
If it were in the past, Gu Yuyan would have had another fight with Jiang Mubai, but now——
She touched her nose embarrassedly and looked at Jiang Li.
After all, Jiang Mubai is Jiang Li's brother now. When Gu Yuyan thought of the bad things he did in the past, her face turned red.
"Alright, alright, it's been a while, we're all family, brother, just let it go and stop blaming the princess."
Jiang Li had said so, what else could Jiang Mubai say? He just snorted and said, "Forget it, for my sister's sake, I won't make a fuss about it."
Knowing that Jiang Li would come, Xue Rou sent someone to prepare food in the pavilion early.
On the way to the garden, Jiang Li finally understood the entanglement between the two of them from Jiang Mubai's complaints.
He poked Gu Yuyan's arm and said, "Girl, have you only known this one trick since you were a child?"
Thinking back to the first time she met Jiang Li, when she had locked him up in the palace, Gu Yuyan's face flushed red...
"Li'er, there are rumors outside that the disciples of Medicine King Valley are having a fight with you. What's going on?"
After arriving at the pavilion and having tea, Xue Rou began to ask.
Before coming, Jiang Li guessed that Xue Rou might be looking for her because of this matter. After all, mothers are most likely to worry about their children.
Suppressing the warmth in his heart, Jiang Li looked at Xue Rou with a smile and told her in detail what happened yesterday.
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mubai slapped the stone table and said, "What Medicine King Valley? It's simply too much!"
He actually dared to call his sister a liar! Believe it or not, he would beat him until he ran out of shit!
"sit down!"
Xue Rou slapped Jiang Mubai on the arm, "Are you crazy? You're so jumpy, aren't you afraid of scaring your sister and the princess?"
