It's here so soon?! Jiang Li patted her face to shake off the sleepiness, then quickly got up and changed into a simple dress. Qingzhu was not there, so she didn't know how to make those complicated vows, so she just tied up all her hair with a ribbon.

After a quick wash, he ran out of the room and walked towards the main hall.

Jiang Li knew that Jiang's mother had not gotten up yet, so on the way to the main hall, she turned towards Jiang's mother's yard and pulled her out of bed.

As the maid combed Jiang's hair, Jiang's mother yawned: "Li'er, what happened that makes you so anxious?"

"Mom, we have guests at home."

Jiang Li explained casually.

"Guests?" Jiang's mother was no longer sleepy and urged the maid to quickly do her hair. "Your father is really something. He didn't even bother to say hello in advance when there were guests at home!"

After quickly packing up, the mother and daughter rushed to the main hall together.

In the past, when there were guests at the house, Father Jiang would greet Mother Jiang the night before. In order not to neglect the guests, Mother Jiang would get up early with Father Jiang.

When no one is at home, Jiang's mother sleeps until she wakes up naturally, but once there are guests at home, she will give Jiang's father enough face in front of outsiders and prevent others from saying that he is a henpecked man or dominated by his wife.

Mother Jiang and Jiang Li hurried to the main hall. As soon as their figures appeared at the door of the main hall, Father Jiang and Shen Tingsi looked at them.

"Mr. Shen is here."

Mother Jiang greeted Shen Tingsi with a smile. For some reason, she felt relieved when she learned that the guest was Shen Tingsi.

Maybe I already think of him as a family member in my heart. Why do family members need so many etiquettes?

At Jiang's mother's age, what she worries about most is her children's lifelong affairs.

Now, the person that Jiang's mother is most worried about is Jiang Li. Jiang's father and mother have only one daughter in their life, Jiang Li. Others have brothers and sisters to support and help each other, but Jiang Li does not.

Now they are a happy family together, but Mr. and Mrs. Jiang will grow old one day, and after they pass away, Jiang Li will be left alone.

Jiang Li has no brothers or sisters to rely on. Her mother Jiang's greatest wish in her lifetime is to see Jiang Li find someone worthy of her trust.

Jiang's mother was very thoughtful and she had noticed Shen Tingsi's feelings for Jiang Li since that time on the boat.

Jiang's mother, who has lived for most of her life, prides herself on having a sharp eye for people. After meeting Shen Tingsi that day and getting to know him yesterday, she is convinced that he is the person she can trust.

It would be great if Li'er could get married with Master Shen.

In her heart, Jiang's mother had already regarded Shen Tingsi as someone who could take care of Jiang Li on behalf of her and Jiang's father, so she felt very close to him when she saw him.

"aunt."

Shen Tingsi stood up and nodded slightly to Jiang's mother and greeted her.

Jiang Li exchanged a glance with him, then walked straight to the center of the main hall and bowed to Shen Tingsi.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire main hall fell silent.

Shen Tingsi walked towards Jiang Li and held up her arms with both hands: "Li'er, there's no need to be so polite."

Father and Mother Jiang stood there in a daze, with the same expressions on their faces.

Jiang Li looked at her father and then at her mother: "Dad, Mom, let me introduce Mr. Shen's identity again. He is actually..."

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Father Jiang, who was originally sitting in the main seat, jumped up suddenly from his seat as if a needle pricked his butt.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

After seeing Jiang's father kneeling on the ground with a plop, Jiang's mother came to her senses and hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.

As Shen Tingsi spoke, he walked towards Jiang's mother in front of him and actually bent down to support her.

Jiang Li came to Jiang's father and held his arm: "Dad, get up quickly."

At this moment, Jiang's knees felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't get up. He couldn't get up at all! The memory that had been forgotten due to drunkenness suddenly emerged in Jiang's mind. When he thought about how he wanted to swear brotherhood with the emperor last night after getting drunk, his face turned pale...

"I am blind and do not recognize Your Majesty. If I have offended you, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Father Jiang quickly apologized to Shen Tingsi for his behavior yesterday. When he was about to knock his head to the ground, Shen Tingsi came to him and held his other arm.

"Uncle, don't be so reserved. Just get along with me like you did yesterday."

When mentioning yesterday, Father Jiang instantly broke out in a sweat.

How dare he!

If he had known that the person in front of him was His Majesty, he would not have dared to call His Majesty his little brother even if he had ten times the courage! He was so bold as to want to become sworn brothers with His Majesty...

Thinking of this, Jiang's father regretted it so much! Stop drinking, you must stop drinking! Being drunk is really a hindrance!

Shen Tingsi personally helped Jiang's father to stand up from the ground. Jiang's father's previous enthusiasm was no longer there. Now in front of Shen Tingsi, he just wanted to keep his tail between his legs!

"Uncle and aunt, please take a seat. I have something to tell you."

Shen Tingsi made a gesture of invitation to Jiang's father and mother.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang waved their hands quickly: "Your Majesty, please come in, Your Majesty, please come in!"

Shen Tingsi was finally invited to the main seat, while Jiang's father and mother sat down at a random seat nearby.

"Uncle and aunt, don't be so reserved. I was the one who concealed my identity first, so I should apologize to you two."

Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's attitude suddenly became respectful, Shen Tingsi felt helpless.

Although this was the truth, Jiang's father and mother didn't dare to nod their heads and quickly waved their hands, "No, no, no, your majesty should have concealed his identity when he went on a tour incognito. It was me who was blind and didn't realize this when I heard your majesty's name yesterday."

Father Jiang had one regret. When His Majesty said his name yesterday, he thought about it in that direction. However, in the end, his will was not strong enough and he was blind and failed to recognize His Majesty.

It’s ridiculous to think about it now. Why didn’t he think of His Majesty’s innate majesty and nobility yesterday?

Shen Tingsi and Jiang Li looked at each other, both of them with helplessness in their eyes.

Shen Tingsi knew that Jiang's father and mother would not be able to accept his identity for the time being, so he did not force them and directly stated his purpose.

"I came here today to talk to my uncle and aunt."

Father Jiang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please speak!"

Shen Tingsi said seriously, "I like Li'er and I want to take her back to the palace when I go back."

Father Jiang's body trembled: "?"

Jiang's mother was not too surprised by this, but her expression became solemn after learning about Shen Tingsi's identity.

If His Majesty was just a son of an ordinary family, he and Li'er would be a good match, but he is His Majesty, who is admired by everyone. There is a huge gap between his status and Li'er's. Li'er is cheerful by nature. If she is trapped by the high walls of the palace...

Mother Jiang didn't want to think about it any further.

At this time, Shen Tingsi's voice came from the main seat again.

"Don't worry, uncle and aunt. I will take good care of Li'er and will not let her be bound by the palace walls, nor will I let her get involved in the harem struggles."

"Having Li'er alone in my life is enough for me."
