"Does General Li have a letter back from home?" Zhao Zong put his arms around her waist and asked quietly.

"Yes, I don't know what he wrote." Li Can leaned into his arms and nodded: "I thought of coming to the East Palace, so I didn't go to my aunt to ask."

When she said this, she raised her little face and looked at Zhao Zong: "Brother Zeyu, did something happen?"

Because of the truce with Dajin, His Majesty kept Zhao Ji in the palace for a whole day, and it was her uncle Li Yan who guarded the border of Dajin.

Zhao Zhen asked his eldest uncle again if he had any letters from home, and this matter seemed a bit unusual.

"Hmm." Zhao Zhen paused and said, "Perhaps, after a while, my father will call General Li back to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties."

"Your Majesty said that?" Li Can sat up straight after hearing this.

That's great. She hasn't seen her uncle and two brothers for a long time, and she misses them very much.

"Not yet." Zhao Zhen shook his head and smoothed the broken hair on her forehead: "It should happen, but when it will happen, I'm not sure yet."

"Oh." Li Can was a little disappointed, his long green eyelashes curled up and lowered, and his voice lowered: "I miss them very much, and my third brother."

Her third brother's name is Li Jin, who is her biological brother from the same mother.

At first, because she was young and ignorant, and close to the He family, she always treated the He family as "the mother is older than the mother". The third brother also came back and wanted to take her to Yangzhou, and warned her several times to stay away from the He family.

It's a pity that she didn't understand anything at that time. She was a thief and a mother. The third brother must be very disappointed in her, right?

"If you make it this year, he will come back." Zhao Ye lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"Will you?" Li Can looked up at him, his wet eyes filled with expectation and anxiety.

"I will." Zhao Zhi stroked the top of her hair with his big hand.

"It would be great if the third brother could stay at home." Li Can sighed slightly, snuggled into his arms, and hugged his thin waist.

"When he comes back, you can talk to him." Zhao Zhen patted her back gently and comforted her in a low voice.

"Yeah." Li Can nodded obediently.

"Has Zhao Xun gone to look for you?" Zhao Zhi asked again.

"Well, I ignored him." Li Can nodded, then remembered and said, "By the way, I heard from my fourth sister that he is plotting against Liu Zhenlian, so you have to be careful."

"Liu Shenxun is now valued by the emperor. Even if Zhao Xun has this intention, he will not bring it up directly." Zhao Xun said: "You don't have to worry about this. Just be careful if he looks for you again."

"I remember." Li Can responded obediently.

"Have you dealt with all those maids?" Zhao Zhi asked her.

"There are two innocent ones. I stayed in the garden to prune the flower branches." Li Can raised his little head slightly: "That red branch, I was afraid that she would go out and talk nonsense, so I wanted to silence her and give her a family.

But she was very dissatisfied and stared at me as if she wanted to eat me. I was afraid of leaving any hidden dangers, so I had her sold off."

When she said this, she grasped the hem of Zhao Zong's clothes with her little hands and raised her little face to look at him: "Brother Zeyu, am I too cruel?"

She herself felt that what she did was quite cruel, but Zhao Ji also taught her not to keep known hidden dangers around her, so she shouldn't have done anything wrong, right?

Zhao Ye held her hand and frowned slightly: "Since you think it is a hidden danger, you shouldn't keep it."

Li Can was stunned and asked a little uncertainly: "Are you saying that we should... get rid of her?"

She originally thought that Zhao Zong meant that she had done the right thing by selling the maid, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was more than just that.

Zhao Ye looked at her and said calmly: "She is just a maid. According to the rules of the East Palace, she should have been executed."

"But..." Li Can frowned: "That's a human life..."

As she grows up, it seems that she has never really executed anyone. Even if something happens, it will be Zhao Zong, the eldest aunt, and the others who take care of it for her.

"Li Can." Zhao Ye warned her with a serious face: "You are in a position where being soft-hearted will lead to endless troubles."

"I remember." Li Can nodded solemnly: "I will not be soft-hearted in the future."

She understands what Zhao Zong means. She grew up with Zhao Zong. No matter what happens between them, others will take her as a matter of course as a member of the East Palace.

Those who deal with Zhao Ye will also deal with her. Her soft heart not only leaves trouble for herself, but also hinders Zhao Ye. She will never do it again.

"Has Xia Jieyao visited you recently?" Zhao Zong asked in a low voice.

Li Can's dark eyes turned slightly, and he shook his head: "No, Sister Ah Yao was frightened when she fell into the water last time. She must not have fully recovered, right?

If Brother Zeyu is worried, go and visit."

As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, feeling astringent in her heart. Zhao Ji couldn't bear to worry about Xia Jieyao, so he went to see it by himself. Wasn't he afraid that she wouldn't be sad enough if he had to ask her what he was doing?

"Even if you are a close friend, you should be careful with your words and don't say anything you shouldn't say." Zhao Zhen reminded her.

Li Can was stunned. What did Zhao Zong mean by this? Did he remind her to beware of Xia Jie Yao?

But Xia Jieyao was her savior and Zhao Gao's sweetheart. Why did Zhao Gao suddenly say this?

She thought about it for a moment and suddenly realized, why don't Xia Jieyao know about what Zhao Xi said about the close relationship between the two of them, such as the fact that she kissed Zhao Xi just now?

She felt suffocated and her eye circles were slightly red. Zhao Zhen was really attentive and considerate!

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhi turned his head slightly and looked at her.

Li Can raised her eyes and looked at him for a moment, then raised her face, her soft lips came up and kissed him on the lips.

She paused, slowly closed her eyes, and crudely traced the shape of his lips.

She didn't care whether Zhao Zong would be with Xia Jieyao or who he would be with in the future, she would get close to Zhao Zong before he got married.

Zhao Ye's body froze for a moment, the tips of his ears and the ends of his eyes turned red. He held her waist tightly with one hand, and held the back of her head with the other. In an instant, he turned his back and attacked the city.

Li Can couldn't resist his attack, her hands slid down from his neck and grasped the hem of his clothes.

She didn't know how much time passed, but she felt like suffocating and pushed his chest gently.

Zhao Ye let go of her and lowered his eyes to look at her.

Li Can was half leaning in his arms, with bright red eyes and a pair of clear eyes, and she was looking at him. Her delicate lips were slightly red and swollen, and she was breathing lightly. Her fair and flawless little face was filled with innocence and innocence.

The coexistence of beauties and beauties is like the begonia flowers blooming just right on the branches, inviting you to pick them.

Zhao Ye's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head.

Li Can let him hold her softly, and she seemed to hear Zhao Zong sighing in a trance, but she didn't take it to heart.

After a while, she moved.

Zhao Zhen's men relaxed a little.

When Li Can raised his eyes to look at him, his face had returned to its usual dignified and cold expression.

Li Can sat up straight, hugged his neck with her slender arms, buried her face in the crook of his neck and whispered: "Brother Zeyu promised me not to discuss marriage before I get married, and not to see my daughter's house alone.

no?"

When she spoke, hot breath spread between Zhao Zhen's earlobes and neck, gently stroking him back and forth like a kitten's whiskers, making the tips of his ears red and his back straight, as if he was responding to her, but also as if he was humming.

:"Um."

"Then does this count?" Li Can's little face nuzzled gently in the crook of his neck, his tone of voice was soft and waxy, reminding people of sweet glutinous rice dumplings.

"Forget it." The thin red color that had just subsided on Zhao Ye's cold face quickly returned. He replied with just one word concisely and gave a slight concession to relieve the numbness in his neck.

"Then you have to keep your word." Li Can became cheerful and smiled happily with her little face next to his ear.

"Yeah." Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"I knew that Brother Zeyu was the best." Li Can held his face with her white and soft hands, moved up to him and kissed him loudly on the corner of his lips.

This time she followed Zhao Yinhuan's example. If she had wine now, she would be drunk now, so why worry about tomorrow?

"Your Highness, girl." Wu Zai knocked on the door outside: "It's time for dinner."

Zhao Ye was about to speak.

Li Can covered his lips with her small hand, with a smile in her black and white eyes: "Don't let them in."

"Why?" Zhao Zong was puzzled.

"I want to be with brother Ze Yu like this." Li Can nestled into his arms again, greedily breathing in the unique and refreshing fragrance of his body.

What she said was true. How great would it be if time could stay at this moment?

"Let's have dinner first." Zhao Zhen patted her little head gently: "After dinner, I'll practice drawing fire, and I'll teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow."

"Really?" Li Can looked up after hearing this, surprised and happy: "Are you really going to teach me how to ride a horse tomorrow?"

She has wanted to learn to ride a horse for many years. How heroic is Zhao Yinhuan when he rides a horse? She is so envious.

Also, riding a donkey when playing polo is too embarrassing. Zhao Minghui makes fun of him every time. Only riding a horse is the most decent.

But she was weak, and Zhao Ye had never allowed her to learn. Now, without any warning, he said that he would teach her to ride a horse. She couldn't believe it.

"Seriously." Zhao Zhi put her down and held her hand to open the door.

"Your Highness, girl." Wusao saluted: "Can we prepare a meal?"

Zhao Ye took a step back, and Li Can also stepped aside.

Wu Zai understood and raised his hand to greet the maids to bring in the dinner one by one and place it on the Eight Immortals table.

After dinner, Zhao Zong took Li Can to the garden and found a leeward and open place, where Li Can practiced starting fire.
