Yi Chenli looked at the red string on his hand and replied, "It's quite fair."
Li Gui, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but cough violently.
An Yuan'er asked, "Does Father-in-law have typhoid fever? He must take his medicine on time and not delay seeing a doctor."
Li Gui stared at the bracelet on An Yuan'er's hand, speechless for a moment.
This bracelet is a unique piece from a southern collection, priceless.
The master exchanged it for an ordinary red rope and actually said it was fair. Li Gui almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yi Chenli stared coldly at Li Gui, signaling him to shut up.
Li Gui could only say, "This servant is sick. This servant will go and take some medicine so as not to infect my master."
After finishing his sentence, Li Gui hurriedly took his leave.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would become really sick even if he wasn't.
Despite the freezing weather outside, the house was warm with a charcoal fire burning inside, so it wasn't cold at all.
An Yuan'er discovered that Yi Chenli's conditions here seemed better than she had imagined.
The exterior of Chenyang Palace is unremarkable, but the interior is surprisingly spacious and well-equipped. The writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and daily necessities used by Yi Chenli are all of the highest quality.
An Yuan'er didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she even felt that the things here were better than those at home.
But she quickly denied this misconception.
Yi Chenli was just an ordinary prince, and not particularly favored, so how could he have so much money?
An Yuan'er patiently traced the characters for a while and found that they were indeed a little better than before.
She took out a piece of paper and tried to write the character "离" (li) without tracing it.
After she finished writing, she noticed that her handwriting was somewhat similar to Yi Chenli's.
This gave An Yuan'er a great sense of accomplishment, and she kept imitating, gradually improving her writing skills.
"Yi Chenli, look, doesn't my handwriting look like yours?"
An Yuan'er is very talented; she does a good job at anything she's willing to put in the effort.
Yi Chenli looked at the character. Although the brushstrokes were still lacking, it was a leap forward compared to the previous crooked characters.
"It's acceptable."
Yi Chenli remained as sparing with his words as ever.
He noticed that An Yuan'er was staring out the window and understood what was going on.
"You can only play for a short while. Don't get your clothes too wet."
An Yuan'er nodded repeatedly, and like a fluttering butterfly, she put on her cloak and ran into the snow.
When Li Gui returned, he saw An Yuan'er leading a group of eunuchs outside to build a snowman and play.
The little eunuch had become very close to An Yuan'er and had become her little follower.
"Go and pile up the snow there."
"Go to the kitchen and get a carrot to make the snowman's nose."
"..."
Li Gui couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Yuan is really likable. In just a short while, she's become so familiar with this place as if it were her own territory."
Li Gui entered the study and whispered in Yi Chenli's ear, "Master, news just came from outside that the Empress's younger brother, Murong Huan, broke his hand in a horse-riding accident. From now on, he will have difficulty even writing, let alone practicing martial arts."
Yi Chenli recalled the needles Murong Huan had stuck in his skin that day, his pupils turning completely black: "Didn't anyone discover anything, did they?"
"The old man did a good job of concealing it, so outsiders just thought it was an accident."
Yi Chenli nodded. He had been full of hostility just now, but now his emotions were no longer visible.
He said casually, "The Empress is about to come out, so we should send her a big gift."
Li Gui still gritted his teeth: "Over the years, he has been aiding and abetting evil in front of the Empress, and we have suffered a lot because of him. This time, he deserves it. I only regret that I didn't go easy on him and cripple both of his hands."
Yi Chenli glanced at her, and Li Gui quickly shut her mouth.
An Yuan'er just pushed the door open and walked in.
