When Emperor Xuande took the tea, his eyes fell on Li Yunzhou's arm.
"Why are there so many old injuries?"
Li Yunzhou quickly lowered his sleeve, looking a little uneasy. "It's okay, it's just... I got hurt while practicing martial arts."
Emperor Xuande frowned, "How could martial arts training cause such damage? Are you looking at me like a fool? What's going on?"
Li Yunzhou shook his head and said, "Uncle, don't ask anymore. These are all old stories."
In fact, even if he spoke of those things from his youth now, it would be useless. He could make the Emperor feel distressed and Princess Yongjia be scolded. But it wouldn't be enough to overthrow the Li family, so it would be better for him not to tell them. The day the Emperor discovered the truth himself, he would only be more enraged.
Regardless of whether he is Princess Yongning's biological son or not, Princess Yongjia's move is all directed at Princess Yongning. When the time comes, this incident will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back for the Li family.
The more he didn't say, the more Emperor Xuande felt that there was something going on. A thought flashed through his mind, then disappeared in an instant.
Just as he was about to ask further questions, the chief eunuch Hu Lu came in carrying a food box.
"Your Majesty, these are the snacks that Princess Yongjia sent to the palace. There are rose fire cakes, honey three-knife cakes, and cloud cakes."
"Princess Yongjia said that she would take care of the emperor's brother on behalf of Princess Yongning."
Emperor Xuande looked at the three plates of dim sum that had been served, his expression somewhat different from usual.
When Yongning was alive, he loved making snacks, and these three were his specialties. After Yongning passed away, Yongjia often made them for him and sent them to the palace.
Every time Yongjia spoke, he was moved. But today, for some reason, he remembered the wound on Li Yunzhou's arm. Looking at these things again, they suddenly felt fake.
Li Yunzhou also looked at the plates of dim sum with a puzzled expression. If he remembered correctly, Li Jingchuan once said that Princess Yongjia had used these dim sum to express her love to him.
Of course, Li Jingchuan was talking to his own children, who happened to be overhearing it.
Emperor Xuande waved his hand, signaling Hu Lu to take these away first, as he didn't want to eat.
Li Yunzhou suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, Yunzhou wants to ask for a favor. Please give me these snacks as a reward."
