The next day.
The emperor went to court early.
When Linghu Lan woke up, it was already very late. After having breakfast, she was greeted by the anxious Li Bai.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this humble woman wishes to leave the palace!"
Linghu Lan: "..." The way you're doing this isn't a normal trip out of the palace; it's clearly an attempt to abduct a man from the common people.
Linghu Lan glanced at Li Bai's round, chubby face, a mischievous thought popping into her head. She slowly sipped her tea before asking, "Where are you going?"
As Li Bai watched Linghu Lan slowly perform these actions, she became extremely anxious. "Your subject... Your subject is going to find Yi Zhi."
Linghu Lan was about to laugh herself to tears.
I already know you're so eager to get married.
"What are you going to do to him? What excuse will you use? What will you say when you get there? What if he ignores you? What if he looks down on you for chasing after him like this?"
Li Bai opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of question marks.
"Then... what should I do?"
Li Bai didn't really understand love; she just vaguely had that person's image in her heart, and then she didn't care about anything else.
Linghu Lan couldn't help but laugh. Lin Mama was right. Li Bai used all her brainpower on eating and was completely clueless about other things.
"If you want to go, it's not impossible. However, I am very interested in the culture of the remnant tribes, but I cannot personally visit them to learn from them. If you are willing to learn it and explain it to me, I will allow you to leave the palace anytime, anywhere. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely do it." Li Bai agreed without hesitation, completely disregarding whether she could actually do it.
Watching from the side, Granny Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud. She whispered a few words to the maid beside her, and the maid smiled and went back to pack up Li Bai's things.
Seeing Li Bai rubbing his hands anxiously, Linghu Lan said, "I'll give you three months. What will you do if you can't learn it this time?"
"Huh?" Li Bai's mouth dropped open, and she swallowed hard in surprise. "Is there a punishment for not learning it?"
"Of course! I never speak lightly."
"Then..." Li Bai couldn't help but start fiddling with her fingers again. "What will be the punishment if I can't learn it?"
"If you can't learn it, you're forbidden from leaving the palace from now on. Unless someone is willing to marry you, you'll have to stay in the palace with me for the rest of your life. What do you think?"
"Huh!?" Li Bai's eyes widened. "The culture of the remnant tribes isn't difficult, is it?"
"It's not difficult! The culture of a small, remote country is not difficult at all, and it's actually quite interesting!"
"Alright!" Li Bai patted her chest. "Then I'm relieved and will definitely fulfill Your Majesty's request."
"Okay, go ahead!"
The palace maids had already packed Li Bai's luggage. Li Bai bowed to Linghu Lan, happily boarded the sedan chair, and proudly said, "Let's go to Yi Zhi's residence."
"Yes!" The palace maids couldn't help but laugh. This Miss Li was truly lucky. With such a carefree personality, it was fortunate that she met the Empress, who treated her like a younger sister. If she had met those concubines from the previous dynasty, Miss Li would probably have already perished and turned into a pile of yellow earth.
When the sedan chair arrived at the palace gate, it was changed to a horse-drawn carriage.
Li Bai happily boarded the carriage, carrying large and small bags. The carriage clattered along the street and soon arrived at Yi Zhi's house.
She happily knocked on the door.
Yi Zhi saw her and was full of surprise.
What brings you here?
