Chapter 163 162. "Zhou Yi, do you know the Third Prince?"
Although he enjoyed having fun, the Fourth Prince did not dare to delay too long and only stayed in Qingmi County for two days. A large group of people came and went in a hurry.
Naturally, when he left, everyone in Qingmi County would see him off.
As Lei Li bowed down, he glanced at the mighty army out of the corner of his eye.
The third prince smiled good-naturedly and praised the magistrate Xu Xingzhe and Qingmi County, but Lei Li inexplicably sensed something strange.
Before leaving, the Third Prince seemed to… glance in his direction? He smiled, yet there was a sense of trepidation, a sense of being caught and seen through.
[Dare to look up and look directly at the prince]
[Very courageous]
Your name is Lei Li.
The illusion lasted only a moment.
But Lei Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Isn’t it said that the third prince has a mild temper and a moderate personality?
He felt that this was clearly a dormant wolf, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, just like the story Zhou Yi had told him, "The wolf in front pretended to be asleep to lure the enemy."
The fourth prince and the third prince boarded the treasure ship, followed by all the maids and guards.
The large ship with carved beams and painted rafters slowly sailed away from the port of Qingmi County and disappeared from everyone's sight. County Magistrate Xu Xingzhe and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the prince didn't cause any trouble in their county! He didn't cause any trouble!
Congratulations!
County Magistrate Xu Xingzhe even wanted to set up a table to celebrate, but he was always calm and restrained himself, while Lei Li was more impetuous. She went back to the village with her husband that day and had a nice dinner with her parents.
Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan in the village actually didn't know what was going on at first. Even if the prince came, it was impossible for the people of the entire county to go to welcome him.
First, some villages are too far away, and it is too troublesome to travel back and forth with families. Second, there is not enough space for them to stay, as there are enough people in the county town. Third, if we mobilize so many people to travel so far, but in the end we don’t even know what the prince’s ship looks like, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
Although the princes got off the ship and lay down on the couch, the treasure ship was still surrounded by guards and no one was allowed to approach. It was a joke. How could anyone approach the prince's place casually?
Even if they just take a few glances from a distance, the guards will suspect that you are trying to commit a crime if they see you acting sneakily. They would rather catch the wrong person than let him go, and will just kill you without you having any chance to complain.
There was no work at the port during those two days.
The county's shipping ships were docked quietly and neatly. No unauthorized people were allowed to stay at the port. There were no customers and the shops at the port were closed.
Even the ships from other places that were bound for Qingmi County did not dare to come after hearing the news. Only after the princes left did the traffic resume its former bustling and smooth flow.
Back at the Lei Li family home in Sanlihe Village, Xiao Sheng Jiang knew his two fathers were going to welcome the prince, so he was very curious, "Who are the princes? What do they look like?"
"The prince is the son of His Majesty the Emperor."
Lei Li's personality remained playful despite this experience, and he didn't want his parents to see any signs of worrying about him. "His Majesty the Emperor is the most powerful person in the world. Everyone must obey whatever he says."
"He said it was going to rain today, so it must rain today. He said we can only eat mutton today, so we can only eat mutton, and we can't eat chicken or duck. He said little ginger can't go to school today—"
"Then Little Jiang can't go to school with Brother Xiaobao."
"ah?"
Little Jiang opened his eyes wide in shock and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, why? Why don't you let Little Jiang and Brother Xiaobao go to school?"
"Because the little ginger is a little naughty today."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Little Ginger wanted to play with Brother Xiaobao today, so he didn't eat his lunch properly, did he?"
"ah……"
Little Jiang felt guilty when he heard this, and puffed up his cheeks to argue, "Brother Xiaobao said he wanted to embroider a little tiger for me. I was so happy that I only ate a little... I just wanted to see the embroidered little tiger."
"Then Sheng Jiang must promise Daddy that she will eat well from now on."
Lei Li bullied the child calmly, "Children who don't eat well won't grow tall. If they don't grow tall, they will be short. Others have grown taller, but Jiang is short and small. Brother Xiaobao, you better play with others instead of Jiang."
"no!"
Little Ginger puffed up his cheeks and huffed, "Brother Xiaobao wants to play with Ginger! Ginger wants to eat, eat lots of food, grow taller, taller than daddy!"
"That's right."
Lei Li smiled and touched the little ginger's head. "Ginger is only useful when it grows up. If the little ginger can't be sold, it will just be wasted."
"Sell it?"
Little Ginger blinked in confusion, "Why do you want to sell little ginger?"
"Why not sell it?"
Lei Li laughed like a big bad wolf coaxing a child, "Ginger has to be sold when it grows up, and our little ginger is no exception. Wouldn't it be a good idea to sell our little ginger to Brother Xiaobao?"
"Brother Xiaobao bought it. From now on, Xiaoshengjiang and Brother Xiaobao can be together every day."
"Okay, okay!"
Little Ginger was delighted now. He waved his hands and said, "When I grow up, I will sell it to Brother Xiaobao! I want to play with Brother Xiaobao every day!"
Lei Li laughed heartily.
Liu Ye'er looked at her grandson, who was stunned by the trick, and felt both amused and distressed. "Okay, stop teasing our Jiang all the time. Jiang will really believe that his father is going to sell him off soon."
Then he said to Little Ginger, "Your father is joking with you. Only we can trade. Little Ginger is your grandparents' good grandson and will never be sold."
"Really?"
Little Jiang is still a little lost. He really wants to be sold by Brother Xiaobao so that he can play with Brother Xiaobao every day!
Lei Li laughed even more heartily.
Overjoyed, she fell into Zhou Yi's arms, teasing Xiao Shengjiang and his husband, saying, "Of course it's true. Your father was sold to me. Do you think your father is with you every day?"
"Yes!"
Little Ginger's eyes sparkled as he looked at his father with admiration, humbly asking for advice, "Daddy, how did you buy ginger? Brother, how do you buy ginger like this?"
"Well..."
Lei Li glanced at the blushing Zhou Yi mischievously, then smiled and fooled Xiao Sheng Jiang, "Your father is cheap. Daddy bought it home without spending a penny. Xiao Sheng Jiang should be sold at a high price. I wonder if Brother Xiao Bao will..."
“Ginger is also cheap!”
Little Ginger quickly said, "Ginger, ginger doesn't cost money!"
"so good?"
"Yes, yes!"
Little Jiang was like a chick pecking at rice, holding his father's hand and acting coquettishly, "Daddy, when Jiang grows up, I will sell him to Brother Xiaobao, okay?"
"That also requires Brother Xiaobao's consent."
"Brother agreed!"
Little Ginger was so confident, "Brother Xiaobao loves ginger the most, I must buy ginger!"
"Ouch……"
Liu Yeer really couldn't stand it this time, so she took Xiao Shengjiang away and wanted to teach him a lesson. His father and father were not going to sell him, they were going to get married in a serious way!
Xiaobao is fine.
She knew Xiao Sheng Jiang was joking. If she really got tricked into selling her grandson into writing a contract, he would become someone else's slave! She couldn't really let Xiao Sheng Jiang sell him!
The little ginger still didn't understand what was said afterwards.
This is also the pot with this name. One kind of ginger can be sold as food, and the other kind of ginger is our little baby, which can be sold, but it is not popular!
When sleeping at night, Zhou Yi also said that the joke Lei Li told today was too big, and it would be bad if Xiao Sheng Jiang really believed it.
"He's obsessed with Xiaobao and wouldn't even bother buying him if someone else offered. This little guy is tiny but very clever."
Lei Li said with a carefree heart, "Besides, if you weren't watching over him, and Little Jiang is so well behaved, nothing would go wrong. He's either in school or playing in the fields every day. The biggest trouble he'd cause is accidentally stepping on someone else's rice seedlings. He doesn't even make noise during class."
"That's what I said."
Zhou Yi sighed, "Actually, I know you were deliberately making jokes to liven up the atmosphere. When you came back today, it looked like you were hiding something. What is it that you can't even tell me?"
"It's not that I can't say..."
Lei Li paused for a moment, then recounted the feeling the Third Prince's glance had given him today. "...I always feel like he knows us, but we clearly don't have much contact with the prince."
"I can't figure that out either."
Zhou Yi also frowned. "Besides, if he really was so cunning and wanted to play the pig and eat the tiger, why did he reveal his true identity in front of you? It's like deliberately putting bait when fishing."
“…”
Lei Li stared at Zhou Yi for three seconds, "Does he know you?"
“???”
Zhou Yi was stunned. "He is a prince, and I am a commoner. How could he possibly know me?"
"Didn't your family used to be wealthy? Maybe we knew each other when we were kids? Otherwise, how else can I explain the way he looked at me today..."
"That's impossible."
Zhou Yi was very sure that he was wearing something like this, which was equivalent to popping out of thin air in the Dayou Dynasty. If he knew him as a child, then it must be his childhood in modern times, right?
Could it be that the Third Prince also traveled through time and happened to meet him in modern times?
"That's not right either."
Zhou shook his head and said, "If he knew me, there would be many ways for him to contact me privately. After all, no matter how unpopular a prince is, he could still have a confidant secretly pass me a note. For example, he could use a code like "odd changes, even does not change, see the quadrant" or "the price of the shirt is nine pounds and fifteen pence."
"But he's obviously more interested in you, otherwise he wouldn't have given you that hint."
"That's true."
Lei Li nodded, but he was even more confused. If he had different ideas, then he simply stopped thinking about it. There would always be a way when he reached the mountain. Even a dead end without any ideas was still a way.
The worst that can happen is that I become a desperate goose.
Lei Li rolled over and pressed on Zhou Yi, pressing him down and kissing him for a long time, until his lips were swollen. He sighed and said, "Those two princes have been coming over these days, and I'm worried that I don't have the energy to do you at night. It's so suffocating."
"Then I won't hold it in anymore."
Zhou Yi thought so too.
He is not the kind of person who sits and does not exercise all year round. He is in his thirties and still as vigorous as a wolf. He is full of energy. It is natural that he wants it after not having sex for half a month.
They hit it off immediately.
Dry wood and raging fire.
Lei Li had a good time, and was then washed and cleaned by Zhou Yi. He felt relaxed all over. Suddenly he thought of something and asked Zhou Yi,
"Should we go to the capital city for some fun?"
"Whether it's Zhongchuan Prefecture City or Xiling Prefecture City, we haven't been there yet. Let's go and see if the prefecture city is really that fresh and lively."
