"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhi's tone was indifferent.

Wu Zao paused and said, "Miss Zhou said that I came here to hand in the homework assigned by His Highness yesterday."

His words fell in Li Can's ears, like a thunderbolt from the blue, making her feel suffocated and stunned on the spot.

Did Zhou Xianru come to Zhao Ji to hand in his homework?

Since there is talk of teaching lessons, it means that Zhao Ji is indeed teaching Zhou Xianru.

The bright red color that had just faded from the ends of her eyes slowly appeared again, and she slowly turned her head and looked at Zhao Hao with wet eyes.

Over the years, she was the only girl in the East Palace who had been taught. She always thought that Zhao Zong would never teach others.

She always had Zhao Zong in her heart, but she didn't know what Zhao Zong was thinking.

Zhao Zong has always shown his emotions and anger, and no one can see through his thoughts.

Zhao Ye stood up, his face still showing his usual indifference and dignity, and without any intention of explaining to her, he walked straight out.

Li Can looked at his back, bit his lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, dropped his pen and followed.

It was a warm spring afternoon outside the study, and the jade-white steps were gleaming under the spring light.

Outside the corridor, Zhou Xianru was wearing a lotus-colored thin coat skirt, covered with a layer of tulle clothes. She bowed lightly to Zhao Ge, her almond-shaped eyes and lips were dignified and decent: "Ru'er has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Can was behind Zhao Zong, looking at Zhou Xianru's bright features.

Zhou Xianru's appearance and bearing are not bad, which is not surprising. After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the general of the auxiliary country and comes from a famous family.

"No courtesy." Zhao Zhi said calmly.

"Your Highness, this is Ru'er's homework for today." Zhou Xianru stepped forward and held up several pages of rice paper in his hands.

Zhao Ji did not take it, but raised his chin towards Wu Zai.

Wu Zai lowered his head and took it.

Zhou Xianru handed in his homework, took a few steps back, looked at Zhao Zong, and showed no intention of leaving.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Zhi asked calmly.

"Ru'er is bold and wants to move to Danguiyuan. This will be closer to His Highness and it will also be easier for Ru'er to hand in her homework every day." Zhou Xianru raised his head and looked at Zhao Ge.

When Li Can heard this, his face paled slightly, his lips pursed slightly, and the little hands hidden in his sleeves also pinched the palms of his hands.

Dangruiyuan is adjacent to Zhao Ge's bedroom and is her residence in the East Palace.

Although she would only stay once when the weather was bad or it was too late, the courtyard had always been hers.

Zhou Xianru wants her yard.

"There are people living there." Zhao Ye opened his lips and refused.

Zhou Xianru raised her eyes and looked behind him, with a slight smile on her pink face: "I know, Miss Li lives there."

Li Can walked out from behind Zhao Zong, his dark eyes were gleaming, and he looked directly at Zhou Xianru: "Not bad."

"Miss Li." Zhou Xianru said with a smile: "I heard that you don't always stay in the East Palace. It's a pity that such a good courtyard is always empty. Why don't you give me that courtyard?"

"I'm just a guest in the East Palace." Li Can smiled with crescent eyes and turned his soft white face to look at Zhao Hao: "His Royal Highness has the final say as to who lives in the courtyard."

Her little hands holding each other were hidden under her sleeves and clenched tightly again.

"Your Highness?" Zhou Xianru looked at Zhao Hao expectantly.

"You go back first." Zhao Zhi never responded to her.

"Yes." Although Zhou Xianru was unwilling to give in, after all, he had only been here for two days and had not figured out Zhao Ji's temper yet, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

She knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, Ruer will take your leave."

"Wait a minute." Li Can suddenly stopped her.

"Miss Li, is there anything else?" Zhou Xianru stopped.

"That rabbit lantern is mine." Li Can pointed behind her with her slender, white little finger.

Behind Zhou Xianru, a maid held an exquisite three-rabbit lantern. The big rabbit in the middle was accompanied by two small rabbits. The whole body was made of snow-white fur. From a distance, it looked lifelike and very pleasing.

This rabbit lantern was prepared by Zhao Gong for Li Can during the Lantern Festival a few days ago.

"This, it turns out to be Miss Li's?" Zhou Xianru reached out to take the rabbit lantern and held it in his hand: "When I was passing by Danrui Courtyard just now, I saw this lantern stuck at the door. I thought it was cute, so I took it."

Li Can carried the hem of her skirt down the steps and reached out to get it.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xianru shrank his hand and avoided her hand.

"Miss Zhou, what do you mean?" Li Can frowned and raised his chin slightly.

"I have already played with this lantern." Zhou Xianru changed the lantern to the other hand, looked down at the lantern, and said casually: "It is said that Miss Li never touches anything that has been touched by others. This lantern is made of

It was so exquisite, it would be a pity to lose it.

Why don't you just give it to me, and I'll have someone buy a new one and give it back to you later."

She wasn't negotiating, she was giving orders.

Li Can was also a pampered person at home, so he couldn't stand this anger.

But due to Zhao Zong's presence, she did not dare to have a random attack and only looked back at Zhao Zong.

She has never been afraid of anything, she can do whatever she wants, but she is very well-behaved in front of Zhao Zong.

Zhou Xianru also looked at Zhao Zhen: "Your Highness, if you don't give me a yard, I will take the lantern away. I will give Miss Li a new lantern as compensation tomorrow."

Zhao Ji frowned slightly but did not speak.

Zhou Xianru immediately rushed to say: "Miss Li, you see, His Highness the Crown Prince has also acquiesced, so it's settled, Ru'er will resign."

As she said this, she bowed to Zhao Hao and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Li Can took a step forward, his obsidian-like phoenix eyes gleaming with sullenness, and his somewhat childish little face had a cold and formidable aura.

Zhou Xianru was shocked, always feeling that Li Can looked a bit like Zhao Zong.

Li Can took the rabbit lantern from her hand.

Zhou Xianru came back to her senses, and the corners of her lips curled up in contempt. Everyone knew that Li Can was afraid of Zhao Zong, so what if she took away the lamp? What other tricks could she play?

In fact, she didn't care about the lantern, she just wanted to kill Li Can's majesty. The maid said that Zhao Zong had people make this lantern. It would be nice if she could take it back and put it away.

Just when she thought of this, she heard a crisp "pop" sound.

It was Li Can who threw the lantern to the ground.

She was frail and didn't have much strength, so the lantern didn't fall apart. It fell to the ground and rolled twice. It seemed that some of the muscles and bones were broken, turning it into a crooked and broken lantern.

Li Can didn't say much and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Zhi's voice was clear and clear.

"Can't I go home?" Li Can turned around, pursed her soft lips, and had stubbornness hidden in her dark phoenix eyes.

"Have you finished your homework?" Zhao Zhi asked indifferently.

Li Can froze there and said nothing.

"Your Highness, Miss Li, don't make yourself unhappy over such a trivial matter.

It's my fault, I shouldn't have taken Miss Li's things without permission, so I apologize to Miss Li." Zhou Xianru looked apologetic and looked towards Li Canyifu in a calm and generous manner.

"Yes." Li Can lowered her long crow-green eyelashes and accepted her courtesy without evading it: "This is what you deserve."

"Li Can!" Zhao Zong said slightly sternly, "Go in."

Li Can pursed her lips and reluctantly entered the study.

"Your Highness..." Zhou Xianru took a step forward and watched Li Can go into the study: "Is Miss Li unwilling to forgive me? Otherwise, I will go in and talk to her again..."

"Go down, next time I have homework, let the servant who is guarding the door bring it in. The inner hall is an important part of the study, and no one is allowed to enter." Zhao Ye explained neatly, turned around and went into the study.

"Yes." Zhou Xianru responded, but his almond-shaped eyes were full of unwillingness.

The study requires space, can Li Can enter? It's just because she has been in the East Palace for a long time, so it's not like she can't do it.

In the study room.

Li Can leaned on his small writing desk, with his little head hanging down. His face was white and translucent, with long curly crow-green eyelashes covering his eyes, and the ends of his eyes were red. His soft lips were pursed slightly in resignation, and he was lost in thought.

Zhao Ji really didn't care about her at all. He didn't even tell her about such a big thing as Zhou Xianru's coming to the East Palace. He didn't even say a word to help Zhou Xianru when he snatched her rabbit lantern.

"Come here." Zhao Zhen said.

Li Can came back to his senses, stood up and walked to the desk, standing with his eyes lowered, listless, like a defeated kitten.

"How should I behave in front of others?" Zhao Zhi asked her, turning over the official document.

"When in front of others, you should restrain your mind and keep your emotions and emotions under wraps." Li Can replied honestly.

"You did it?" Zhao Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"No." Li Can knew that he was talking about what happened just now.

Zhao Ye closed the official document, took out another one, unfolded it, and said: "If you can't hold your breath again next time, slap the palms of your hands."

"Yes." Li Can didn't dare to make any mistakes and agreed obediently.

"Go do your homework." Zhao Zhe ordered.

Li Can returned to the desk and picked up the pen.

By the time she finished her homework, the sun was setting outside.

After leaving the inner hall, they saw Zhou Xianru coming towards them.

Li Can frowned lightly, turned around, entered the garden, followed the curved lotus pond, and planned to go around the garden.

"Miss Li, why are you hiding from me?" Zhou Xianru followed.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Can felt really unhappy and had no patience to give in to her.
