In fact, Xiao Xian did not have a deep impression of Concubine Rong.
He just saw that other concubines treated their children well, while he had to stay by the queen's side and be tortured and plotted against by her every day. He thought that if his mother were still alive, he would also be cared for and cherished like other princes.
As we get older, this extravagant hope gradually fades away.
He became increasingly apathetic and closed off inwardly.
Kangdi raised his hand and held his shoulder tightly.
"Ah Xian, Zhaoxu Academy will be completed soon. I will lend you a helping hand when the time comes. You must seize the opportunity!"
"Father, what are you talking about?"
"I have received news that the Emperor of Southern Qi has just taken in a new Imperial Noble Consort, and her methods are quite powerful! Feng Yi has already returned to Southern Qi. I guess she won't have the leisure time to take care of other matters in the short term."
Xiao Xian's pupils constricted.
"Father, Qu Li is already quite disappointed in me. I don't want to do anything that will cause her to misunderstand me."
"What are you talking about?" Kangdi's eyes became deep, as if he had just met his son.
"Father, I hope you won't do anything to hurt Qu Li for me."
"you--"
Xiao Xian bowed to Emperor Kang and left.
Shadow Pavilion.
Qu Li looked at some information about the Imperial Concubine.
"Is that all?"
The deputy pavilion master's eyes flickered, "Yes, that's all."
Qu Li didn't believe it.
Although the Deputy Pavilion Master had grasped the emotions very well just now, she still noticed something unusual.
"Okay! I'll take these materials back and take my time to look through them."
The deputy leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Qu Li would continue asking.
She was so smart, he was afraid that she would find out something.
After getting on the carriage, Qu Li asked Erhuo to take her to Yueji.
Qu Li hasn't come for such a long time, but Yueji is running well and there will be no problems even without her.
Especially in terms of gathering intelligence, Qu Li found Xiao Lizi and asked him to arrange to go to Southern Qi to inquire about the new imperial concubine.
No matter how well the Southern Qi Emperor protected the new imperial concubine, it was impossible that not a single portrait of her would be circulated.
Seeing the deputy pavilion master's evasive eyes, she became more and more curious about this new imperial concubine.
"Don't worry, I will go to Nanqi in person and investigate this matter as soon as possible."
Thinking of the omnipotence of the Shadow Pavilion and the fact that Feng Yi had arranged for people to secretly protect her, Qu Li warned: "Be careful and don't let anyone find out."
"Don't worry, I will disguise myself as a woman and leave Dagan."
Qu Li pondered for a moment and nodded.
There is no need to mention Leonardo DiCaprio's abilities.
If he had not encountered the unexpected incident, with his ability and talent, he might have become a good official serving the people and the country.
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Good luck.
It was also the day when Zhaoxu Academy was established.
I heard Qu Yuxing's miserable cries and unbearable stomach pain every day.
The servants in the Yongshun Marquis Mansion were horrified when they heard this, fearing that it was an evil ghost seeking their lives.
There were only a few people left, so they left as soon as they could.
Qu Yuxing looked for countless doctors, but Qu Li now almost monopolized all the drug stores and clinics in the capital. Even if he had mountains of gold and silver, he might not be able to hire a doctor.
I can only endure it every day, unable to die, unable to live, and suffering incessantly.
Qu Li had no sympathy for this.
If he hadn't gone too far, a woman as talented and beautiful as Li Ran wouldn't have died so tragically.
Today, Qu Li was dressed quite simply, but Qu Wenzhao was wearing a green brocade robe. The young man had an excited look on his face and was talking and laughing cheerfully.
Changle stood beside Qu Li, her eyes never leaving his face.
Bai Ruowei teased her with a smile: "Look again, your two eyeballs are almost glued to Mr. Qu's face."
Changle's cheeks flushed red, and she pursed her lips: "I'm a person who always says what I mean. If I like it, I like it!"
"Aren't you afraid that the Grand Princess will say you have no shame?"
"Mother would never say that!"
Ever since she learned about her own life experience, Changle was indeed worried for a long time, fearing that a rift would arise between her and her mother.
Later, she found that the relationship between them seemed to be getting better, and her uneasiness and worries disappeared.
Qu Li looked at the young man who seemed to have been reborn, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
She still remembered the first time she saw him. He exuded the aura of an old man, which made her feel heartbroken and pity.
Now, he is getting better and better. Even if she is not by his side in the future, he believes that with the company of Changle and his biological father Changsun Wuque, he will definitely get better and better.
Noticing her gaze, the young man turned around with a smile and called softly, "Elder Sister!"
Qu Li curved the corners of her lips and walked towards him.
"Behave well today."
"I will definitely not let my eldest sister down."
Qu Li helped him straighten his collar and gave him some gentle instructions.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
Many court officials came today and presented many books.
Everyone knelt down to welcome Emperor Kang.
Xiao Xian followed behind Emperor Kang, his sharp eyes looking past everyone and landing precisely on Qu Li.
Qu Li looked up secretly, and their eyes met from a distance.
She always felt that Xiao Xian looked at her in a strange way today.
"Everyone, stand up!" Kangdi shouted.
All the court officials stood up.
Kangdi's gaze fell on Qu Li's face, and a smile appeared on his usually solemn face.
"Qu Li, come here."
Qu Li frowned slightly.
The look Xiao Xian gave her just now made her feel a little uncomfortable.
A perfectly composed smile graced her face. "Your Majesty, this academy is named 'Zhao Xu' because of my younger brother, Wen Zhao."
What he meant was that if you want to give praise, then give praise to us two siblings.
Kangdi's expression stiffened for a moment. He stared at her with a dark gaze, and the imperial pressure was slowly released.
"Father." Xiao Xian was worried about Qu Li and called softly.
Emperor Kang restrained the fierce aura around him, smiled and said to Qu Li: "You and Qu Wenzhao come to me together."
Changle was standing next to Qu Li and happened to be able to see Qu Wenzhao.
Now that Kangdi had called the two of them away as soon as he arrived, she felt more or less unhappy.
However, she used to be lawless, but since she knew her own life experience, she has been constrained in every way.
Bai Ruowei frowned and whispered a warning: "The emperor today may seem to be smiling, but his eyes are filled with murderous intent. You'd better be careful."
Changle was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Emperor Kang.
"How do you know that?"
Bai Ruowei held her forehead helplessly, "I really doubt it. If the Grand Princess hadn't protected you, you would have been sold off long ago and would have been counting money for others!"
"Ruo Wei, you are getting more and more outrageous! How can you say that to me? I will never talk to you again!" Changle put his hands on his hips, puffing up his cheeks in anger.
