The weather began to warm up, and the sun was lazy every morning, so Yinli also got up early every day to bask in the sun in the yard.
A few days ago, He Yi picked up a little yellow dog in the alley. It was furry and very cute.
Yinli held the dog in her arms and couldn't let it go. He Bi secretly stared at the little yellow dog every day, causing the little yellow dog to bark when it saw him, showing off very little respect. Then it jumped onto Yinli and showed off like a pretentious concubine who had won the emperor's favor.
"Yinli, aren't you going out today?"
"No."
There was a wooden couch in the yard. Yinli was lying lazily on the couch, and the little yellow dog was lying on her, also lazily. The man and the dog looked very harmonious.
He Bi looked at this scene and found it extremely dazzling.
"Don't you want to eat the cake from the west side of the city?"
"I don't want to for now." Yin Li was tired of eating barbecue these days, and just wanted to eat something light. "You stay with me every day, don't you read a book?"
“……” He also wanted to read a book, but his mind was filled with the little girl and he couldn’t continue.
He Bi couldn't help but think of that night, why didn't they just go on? Why did he have to wait until he became the top student in high school to give her an unforgettable wedding night? Why bother about this?
The little girl has become more and more cautious recently. Except for letting him hug her in the morning and evening, she avoids physical contact with him at other times.
Could it be that the two young men she met while hunting that day were so handsome that she fell in love with them?
The more He Bi thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, it was from that day that the little girl suddenly became reluctant.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
He Yi found a job in the capital and was not at home during the day, so Yinli and He Yi were the only ones there at the moment.
"Is Dad back?"
"I'll go and take a look."
He Bi stood up and opened the door, and saw two well-dressed young men.
"Who are you?"
"Excuse me, are you Mr. He Bi?" Lin Yuan bowed.
"Exactly."
"My name is Lin Yuan, currently serving as the Minister of War. This is Wu Yuanhe, the tutor of King Jing." Lin Yuan introduced. "I have heard that Master He is very talented, and I would like to have a discussion with him. May we go in and have a chat?"
He Bi stepped aside and said, "Please."
As soon as the two entered, they met Yinli's eyes, who was petting his dog in the yard and basking in the sun. Yinli recognized the two and hurriedly hugged the dog: "Why are you here? Only bones of the tiger are left. There is no tiger, no money, and no life."
Lin Yuan: “…”
Wu Yuanhe: “…”
He Bi was one step behind them. Seeing Yin Li's alert look and not seeming to be interested in the two of them, he felt a little relieved.
"My wife speaks frankly, please don't mind me, gentlemen."
Although his tone was apologetic, there was no apology in his eyes.
Lin Yuan and Wu Yuanhe looked at each other, and they admired He Bi even more in their hearts.
People who are affectionate, loyal and talented are the most reassuring to work for.
"It's okay, this is fate." Lin Yuan smiled.
Yin Li was very disrespectful: "Who is destined to be with you?" She was only destined to be with the inheritance.
Lin Yuan: “…”
He Bi pretended not to notice and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in, gentlemen."
Lin Yuan and Wu Yuanhe looked slightly embarrassed as they followed He Bi into the house.
…
Inside the house.
He Bi very politely poured hot tea for the two of them, and then said, "I wonder what Master Lin and Master Wu want to discuss with me?"
"Mr. He." Lin Yuan smiled gently, "This time, the two of us came here on behalf of King Jing. You are a smart person, and you should be familiar with the political situation. I'm sure you can guess why we are here."
He Bi didn't expect the two to be so direct. He remained calm and said, "I just want to pass the exam and serve my country."
"Your Highness Prince Jing will be a wise ruler in the future, which is not inconsistent with Master He's idea."
He Bi's eyes did not waver: "When His Royal Highness Prince Jing ascends the throne, I will serve him again. This is not contrary to Master Lin's intentions."
"Without support in the court, one cannot make any progress. Even if Master He is the top scholar, he will need support if he wants to go further." Lin Yuan looked outside the courtyard. "Master He is a very affectionate person. I believe he would not use marriage as a means to seek a better future."
He Bi laughed: "Mr. Lin may not know me very well."
"Oh? Which sentence did I say wrong?"
"No, you just misjudged my ambition." Under the puzzled gazes of Lin Yuan and Wu Yuanhe, He Bi said softly: "I used to want to pass the imperial examination and stand out from the crowd. Now, I still want to pass the imperial examination, but not for the purpose of standing out from the crowd."
Lin Yuan and Wu Yuanhe followed He Bi's line of sight and looked at the plump little girl outside the yard. His voice was very soft and gentle: "It's just to be worthy of her, that's all."
"You really don't care about your future?"
"Not really."
"But you know that the officialdom is complicated. In the struggle for succession, how many people can stay out of it without ability? Moreover, when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, it will be difficult for you neutral ministers to be reused."
He Bi looked at Lin Yuan: "But at least you can save your life, right? If you make the wrong choice, it will not only cost me my life, but also the lives of my family members."
If he was alone before, He Bi would definitely choose a prince to plan for him. He was confident that he could make all the plans, and he was not afraid even if he lost. He was confident that he could protect He Yi and let him live without worries for the rest of his life.
But now he has a little girl, he doesn't want to drag her into this, and he doesn't want her to remarry someone else and act coquettishly in another man's arms after he dies.
Whenever he thought of this, He Bi felt unbearable pain in his heart.
What is the future?
He always knows what is most important to him.
"I understand." Lin Yuan stood up. "In that case, we'll take our leave."
He Bi got up to see them off. When passing by the yard, Lin Yuan and Wu Yuanhe both glanced at Yin Li lying on the couch. Yin Li had his eyes closed and was motionless, as if he was asleep.
The courtyard gate was closed. He Bi walked to the little girl and was about to carry her into the house to sleep when she saw her open her eyes.
"Heritage, do you want to be the emperor?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Li’s mouth was covered: “Mmmmm.”
"Be careful with your words!" He Bi glared at her, "Don't say such nonsense again."
Only after seeing Yin Li nod did He Bi let her go.
"Really?"
He Bi covered her mouth again: "Walls have ears, don't talk nonsense. If this word gets out, it will be a capital crime punishable by beheading."
Yin Li grabbed his neck and whispered in his ear: "Then tell me secretly, do you want to?"
"No, please stop talking nonsense."
"oh."
Yin Li was a little disappointed. In fact, she really wanted to see what the legendary dragon throne looked like. She had read novels before, which said that the person who sat on the dragon throne would change. She wondered if the legacy would change after she sat on it.
"Did you hear everything just now?" He Bi hugged her, then pushed the little yellow dog aside and sat on the couch himself.
"Um."
"Don't pay attention to them. I won't joke with your life or your father's life."
"oh."
Xiao Dipeng was speechless watching this scene in the space. How could a powerful boss like him turn into a little cutie who didn't even dare to take part in the fight for the throne?
Was this task completed too quickly? !
The host clearly did nothing!
