Qu Li just felt warm in his heart.
It was snowing heavily outside, but because of his few words, she felt like it was April.
"Is my father back?"
"I'll let Erhuo guard him! Besides, he's a martial artist after all, and he has internal energy to protect him, so nothing will happen to him."
His Li'er cares too much, which is why her life is so tiring.
He just said that everything should be left to him, not just the matter of Xiao Xian, but also other matters.
In the future, if she likes medicine, she will concentrate on studying it.
She wanted to open a medical school, so he would help her remove all obstacles so that she could focus on her studies.
She cared about her father and her relatives, so he arranged for people from the Shadow Pavilion to protect them secretly and pass on information to her every once in a while.
Even though they are separated by thousands of miles, they can still keep in touch.
She thought the carriage was too slow, so he asked the people from the Shadow Pavilion and Qian Jiuzhao to find the best golden eagle. As long as she wanted, it could take her to any relative she wanted to see at any time.
Qu Li didn't know that Feng Yi had thought so much in such a short time.
"It's great to have you."
She used to be used to handling everything by herself, but after having Feng Yi, she was willing to get used to relying on him.
Feng Yi poked her cheek and said, "Li'er has been much thinner than before due to all the hard work and running around lately."
“I haven’t lost much weight either.”
Changle brought some good wine and food, and before he even came in, he shouted from a distance, "Li'er, look who I brought here! We can't leave until we're drunk!"
When Qu Li looked up, he saw two graceful figures, one in white and one in red. They were Bai Ruowei and Changle.
She immediately stood up and went forward to meet him.
"Why did you come here together?"
"Of course I came here to drink with you and enjoy the snow!" Changle blinked.
"Li'er, are you okay?" Bai Ruowei said with a smile.
"That's great! Congratulations, you and the Eighth Prince will soon get married." Qu Li said sincerely.
After returning to Beijing from the flood control work in the south, Xiao Qi reported to Emperor Kang that he had Bai Ruowei disguised as a man and had gone with him to the south to control the flood.
In addition to Bai Ruowei's advice and bravery, Emperor Kang was very pleased and wanted to reward Bai Ruowei generously.
Bai Ruowei thought of her mother who had lived a life of superficial prosperity but inner misery over the years, so she asked for permission from Emperor Kang, hoping that he would allow her mother to divorce Bai Zhonghe.
This matter also caused a lot of uproar, but compared with the divorce between Qu Li and Xiao Xian, and the divorce between Madam Bai and Bai Zhonghe, it did not cause much stir.
After the two divorced, the Grand Princess helped Madam Bai and Bai Ruowei find a courtyard and also transferred some people from the Grand Princess's Mansion over there.
As for Bai Zhonghe, he had taken refuge with the high priest early on and was in constant fear, fearing that the fact that he was a Xiling spy would be exposed. He was cautious every day and did not dare to cause any trouble.
"Li'er, it's all thanks to you that the Eighth Prince and I have such a fate!" Bai Ruowei's cheeks were adorned with a charming blush, and her tone was unusually sincere.
"When fate comes, no one can stop it! Your success depends largely on your courage in the beginning."
If Bai Ruowei had not disguised herself as a man and followed Xiao Qi to the south, their feelings would not have become so strong, their relationship would not have been so close, and Emperor Kang would not have granted them a marriage.
So, the saying, you reap what you sow, is not without some truth.
Changle pouted: "Are you two planning to just stand there and chat like this? What a waste of my good wine!"
Bai Ruowei smiled and joked, "You're the one who talks the most!"
"Hurry up, warm up the wine. The three of us won't go home until we are drunk!" Changle took Qu Li's arm and smiled with curved eyebrows.
Qu Li asked Tianqing to warm up the wine, and then went to the kitchen to prepare some food and drinks.
During the waiting time, Qu Li took out fresh fruits and some snacks she usually made from the space.
It is said that three women make a drama. Changle is an extrovert and talkative person, chirping like a cute little bird.
Qu Li and Bai Ruowei were relatively quiet, just listening.
"Li'er, the emperor summoned you to the palace today. Are you okay?" Changle suddenly asked this.
"nothing."
"Marquis Yongshun is truly shameless. If you want to teach him a lesson, don't forget to call me!" Changle patted her chest and said with a chivalrous air, "I will definitely help you teach him a lesson."
Bai Ruowei couldn't help laughing: "How are you going to teach him a lesson?"
"Of course I'll find an opportunity at night, put a sack on him, and beat him up!"
Whenever she thought of how he had harmed Qu Wenzhao and made him what he is now, she wished that Qu Yuxing could also experience the pain of being in a wheelchair and trapped in darkness.
"Aren't you afraid that your Wen Zhao will be scared by your ferocious appearance?" Bai Ruowei continued to joke.
Qu Li smiled: "Changle is the chivalrous woman!"
"Yes! I really aspired to become a female knight before!" Changle supported her chin, her expression full of longing.
The wine has been warmed up and the food has been served.
Qu Li asked Tianqing to inform Feng Yi that he would not have lunch with him at noon, and asked him to eat with Qu Wenzhao and Changsun Wuque.
Feng Yi felt sour in her heart, but she didn't want to get involved.
Tianqing's face turned pale with fright at the sudden icy aura emanating from his body.
"Tell Li'er I understand. Tell her to drink less."
"I understand." Tianqing said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, bowed and walked out, trotting away as if there was a flood or a beast behind her.
Qu Li told Changle and Bai Ruowei about his trip to the north and his experiences in Xiling.
The two listened so attentively that they even forgot to eat.
"The food is getting cold, why don't you eat?" Qu Li smiled and picked dishes for the two of them.
"Li'er is the real heroine. She can actually bring down the high priest!" Changle gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.
"Indeed! I thought I was quite unorthodox by disguising myself as a man to provide disaster relief in the south, but I didn't expect that compared to Li'er, I was nothing!" Bai Ruowei raised her glass: "Come on, let's toast to this heroine!"
"Cheers to the heroine!"
"Respect your chivalry!"
The three glasses clinked together.
Qu Li smiled and said, "Eat."
"By the way, Li'er, what does the Gu King you mentioned look like?"
Meeting Changle's big eyes full of curiosity, Qu Li hesitated for a moment, but still took out the wide-mouthed bottle from the space.
"Such a cute little bug, you say it's the Gu King?" Changle almost stuck to the glass wall of the wide-mouthed bottle, staring at the red little bug without blinking.
The little red bug kicked its hind legs and looked at her with disdain.
"What's that expression on its face? Is it looking down on me?" Changle turned to look at Bai Ruowei, then at Qu Li, and then pointed at the tip of his nose. "I'm actually being looked down upon by a bug?!"
