As soon as this task was announced, Li Han started to groan inwardly.
Li Han: [Why are you showing off your affection again? Can't you show me something new?]
She is almost sick of having to show off their affection all the time.
System: [This is to let those ungrateful people know that Lu Li is already taken. One more rival in love brings you more danger, understand?]
Show it off when you get the chance, otherwise others will think there’s a rift in your relationship and think you still have a chance!
But then again, there really isn't any affection between the two of them.
Li Han: [Alright, alright, stop arguing.]
Li Han said impatiently.
This system is just like an old nanny, nagging endlessly and annoyingly.
"Come on, we should go out."
Lu Li spoke lightly, bringing Li Han back to his senses.
Soon, both of them appeared in the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered the seat system, he began to urge Li Han, but Li Han did not move for a long time.
The reason is that she doesn't know how to show off. Forgive her for being a person with a pale emotional history and having no experience in this area!
She couldn't possibly do that to him again, could she? It would be so embarrassing!
"Husband, these green grapes are sweet and sour and delicious. Come and try them."
As he spoke, he picked up a bunch of grapes and placed them in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li glanced at the grapes and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Han'er, you won't feed me this time?"
"Why do you still need to be fed when you're this old?"
Li Han said with some disgust, and then a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face as if he remembered something.
Damn it, how could she have forgotten about this? She shouldn't have taken the green grapes!
Just when Lu Li was about to tease Li Han again, Qing Xuan rushed in, stepped past the dancer, and bowed before the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor has been brought back and is now waiting outside for an audience."
I remembered that I hadn't seen Qingxuan for quite a while. Was he sent to fetch the Imperial Preceptor? But how could such an important matter fall on Qingxuan's head?
"Great, great! Call them in! Just in time for the princess' birthday!"
After hearing this, the emperor laughed even more happily and quickly called people in.
After a while, a handsome man walked in, followed by Qingxuan. He should be the national teacher.
"The Imperial Master has returned just in time! Today is the eldest princess' birthday. Did the Imperial Master bring back any rare finds for the princess from Heng Country?"
The emperor's words almost made Li Han laugh out loud. Her father really knew how to seek benefits for her!
"Of course. On my way here, I passed by a temple and received a pair of Buddhist beads from a high monk there. These beads are placed on the altar and worshipped day and night, absorbing the incense for 49 days. They are very effective in suppressing evil spirits and can also ensure safety. I learned that today is the eldest princess' birthday, so I brought them here as a gift to her to ensure her safety."
After saying that, he walked to Li Han, took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Li Han with both hands.
The so-called high monks in the temple are all bullshit. They just picked one up from home and came here to deal with the occasion.
"Then I would like to thank the Imperial Master."
Li Han smiled slightly and took the Buddhist beads handed over by the National Master with both hands.
When he took the thing, he did not forget to look at the national teacher.
This national teacher looked to be about the same age as her. Although he had been smiling since he entered the room, the smile never reached his eyes. It was like he was putting on a professional fake smile for everyone to see.
How could such a young person be allowed to sit on the position of the national teacher?
Li Han: [Where did you go? Come out quickly! What's wrong with this Imperial Master?]
She did not have a deep impression of this national teacher, because he did not appear many times in the original work, but every time he appeared, something happened, and there was no one way he could avoid it.
Thinking of this, Li Han couldn't help but doubt the ability of this national teacher.
The system searched the database and reported.
System: [Gu Chengbei, the Imperial Preceptor of the Li Kingdom, the Crown Prince of the Heng Kingdom, and Lu Li's childhood friend.]
Hmm? What did she hear?
This Imperial Master is actually the Crown Prince of Heng Kingdom?!
What does this old emperor want to do?
How could they be so desperate as to let the Crown Prince of Heng Kingdom come here to be the Imperial Preceptor?
Li Han: [What's going on?]
System: [No one knows that Gu Chengbei is the Crown Prince of Hengguo. The current Crown Prince of Hengguo is Gu Hai, and they are twins. However, this information has been concealed. Gu Chengbei was sent out of the palace by the Emperor of Hengguo as soon as he was born.]
Li Han: [No wonder!]
She said, how could the old emperor be so confused? It turned out that his identity was concealed.
It would be fine if the leader's general was a spy of Heng State, but I didn't expect that the national teacher was also the crown prince of Heng State. It would be hard for Li State not to collapse!
"Princess, why are you staring at me?" Gu Chengbei saw Li Han staring at him, so he asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?"
As he said this, he reached out and touched his face. It was very smooth and he didn't feel anything strange.
"No, it's just that this is the first time I've seen the Imperial Preceptor face to face. I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome, and I was instantly captivated." Li Han smiled slightly and said softly, with a hint of joking in his tone, "The Imperial Preceptor is so capable at such a young age. He's truly a promising young man."
Gu Chengbei laughed heartily upon hearing this, glanced meaningfully at Lu Li, whose face had turned dark, and then returned to his seat.
System: [You idiot! Did a dog eat your brain?!]
The system suddenly jumped out and cursed loudly, looking very disappointed in its employees. It really wished it could materialize and jump out to beat up this stupid employer.
Li Han: [Are you so bold as to want to rebel?]
System: [No, you're the one with the guts, aren't you? How can someone praise another man's good looks in front of their husband?]
After being scolded by the system, Li Han finally reacted.
She cautiously turned her head to glance at the man sitting next to her and found that he was staring at her with a gloomy face.
"hehe"
Li Han gave two awkward dry laughs.
Are you angry now? Isn't that too petty?
"Is the Imperial Master very good-looking?"
Lu Li stared at Li Han and asked coldly.
That look seemed to be saying that if Li Han dared to say that other men were handsome, he would kill her.
"Haha, no, no, I just said it casually to fool him. How can he be as handsome as my husband? My husband is the most handsome man in the world. No one can compare to him!"
