Chapter 423: The Mi Family
Chapter 423: The Mi Family
Soon it was time for dinner.
Changning, who had slept all day, slowly woke up.
He stared at the wet nurse in front of him with his big, round eyes.
The wet nurse was absolutely delighted.
He held Changning in his arms and gently patted her back.
Changning also particularly liked the gifts the emperor gave him, holding them tightly in his hands and unwilling to let go.
Meanwhile, Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang were preparing to have dinner.
The nanny noticed that Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang had nothing to do now.
Then he carried Changning to the palace.
Lin Rusi turned her head and saw Changning arrive, and was immediately overjoyed.
He reached out and wanted to hug Changning.
Upon seeing Lin Rusi's appearance, Li Jingyang immediately waved to the nanny.
"Asi, you haven't fully recovered yet, how can you take care of a child?"
While speaking to Lin Rusi, Li Jingyang also gave orders to the wet nurse.
"Take Changning away first, otherwise what will happen if Asi gets hurt?"
Upon hearing Li Jingyang's order, the wet nurse dared not slack off.
He immediately picked up Changning and left.
"How can you possibly take care of a child now? You can't even take care of yourself!"
Li Jingyang realized that Lin Rusi was about to get angry, so he immediately spoke up first.
Hearing Li Jingyang's words, Lin Rusi sighed helplessly.
Lin Rusi, who was about to get angry, suppressed her temper.
After all, Lin Rusi knew that Li Jingyang was only doing it for her own good.
So Lin Rusi shook her head and helplessly gave up the idea of holding the child.
At this moment, Li Jingyang was also happy and hugged Lin Rusi in his arms.
Throughout the meal, Li Jingyang kept putting food on Lin Rusi's plate.
Lin Rusi quickly finished eating.
She rubbed her round belly and leaned against Li Jingyang's chest.
He closed his eyes contentedly, waiting for Li Jingyang to finish eating.
After finishing her meal, Lin Rusi lay back down on the bed.
Li Jingyang sat by the bed, gazing at Lin Rusi with deep affection.
This made Lin Rusi feel a little uncomfortable.
He pulled it over and covered his face with the blanket beside him.
But Li Jingyang snatched the blanket away.
"What's going on, Asi? I haven't seen you for so long. I've missed you so much."
As Li Jingyang spoke, he bent down and whispered in Lin Rusi's ear.
He gently kissed Lin Rusi's cheek.
This made Lin Rusi extremely shy, and she shrank her neck, not wanting Li Jingyang to kiss her.
"We haven't slept together in so long..."
But after Li Jingyang said these words, Lin Rusi did not react at all.
On the contrary, they felt that Li Jingyang was staying here and unwilling to leave.
So Lin Rusi wanted to get rid of him.
"It's getting late, why aren't we leaving yet, Jingyang!"
Hearing Lin Rusi's words, Li Jingyang sighed helplessly, lay firmly on the bed, and refused to move.
"I want to stay here..."
Li Jingyang muttered something under his breath, which Lin Rusi couldn't hear clearly for a moment.
However, Lin Rusi did not want Li Jingyang to sleep next to her.
After all, Lin Rusi hadn't been feeling well for the past few days.
It is indeed a little inconvenient for two people to sleep together.
Secondly, Lin Rusi hadn't been intimate with Li Jingyang for several days.
So Lin Rusi also started to miss Li Jingyang.
"Asi, I'm so sleepy..."
Li Jingyang held Lin Rusi in his arms while pretending to yawn.
Not only that, he even took off his shoes and socks and lay down on the bed.
Lin Rusi realized that Li Jingyang just wanted to stay here and not leave.
So he immediately reached out and pushed Li Jingyang away.
"That won't do! I know you too well! What if you sneak around at night and try to touch me inappropriately!"
Upon hearing Lin Rusi's explanation, Li Jingyang felt like crying.
After all, all he wanted to do was think about his wife.
"Don't worry, Asi, I definitely won't touch you tonight!"
As Li Jingyang spoke, he held up two fingers.
I swear to God!
Seeing Li Jingyang's sincere expression, Lin Rusi was amused.
"You!"
Lin Rusi reached out and tapped Li Jingyang's forehead.
This can be considered as agreeing to let Li Jingyang stay here.
Seeing that Lin Rusi was no longer trying to drive him away, Li Jingyang was overjoyed.
"That's great! Let's go to sleep!"
And so, the two of them ended up sleeping together.
The two of them had a good night's sleep.
However, Li Jingyang got up early the next day.
After all, there are still many administrative matters waiting for him to handle.
Seeing Lin Rusi sleeping soundly beside him, Li Jingyang felt a little reluctant to part with her.
So he bent down and kissed Lin Rusi's forehead.
He stared at Lin Rusi for a while longer before leaving, satisfied.
After leaving his palace, Li Jingyang went to the imperial court.
This morning, Li Jingyang discovered that the situation had changed dramatically compared to yesterday.
After all, yesterday these ministers all disagreed with the idea of trading with neighboring countries.
But now, everyone in the court is talking about trade.
"I think that trade is particularly beneficial to our country!"
"Yes, our country is vast and rich in resources. What is there that we can't exchange with them?"
"I'd like to see what resources our neighbor can offer!"
"Hahaha! If His Majesty agrees, that would be wonderful!"
……
The ministers were still discussing it amongst themselves.
Not only that, but the news of trading with neighboring countries was also leaked by someone, causing a great uproar throughout the capital.
All the people knew about this.
Moreover, most people accepted trade with neighboring countries.
However, the matter of Lin Rusi being rumored to be a demon concubine has been forgotten by everyone.
Nobody mentions it anymore.
This puzzled Li Jingyang greatly.
After all, this matter has only been going on for less than two days, so how come the controversy has been quelled so quickly?
Could it be that the Mi family hired someone to do it?
Li Jingyang's first suspect was that Lord Mi.
After all, the culprit who caused Lin Rusi to be rumored to be a monster was none other than the daughter of Lord Mi.
Moreover, Li Jingyang mentioned Lord Mi's name in court yesterday.
It's probably their family's solution to this.
This made Li Jingyang narrow his eyes and scrutinize the ministers in the court who were discussing the matter.
Li Jingyang soon noticed Lord Mi, who was smiling broadly to the side.
This struck Li Jingyang as particularly strange.
Li Jingyang then hurriedly summoned his personal guards.
"You guys go and investigate the Mi family's affairs right away."
"Investigate what their family has done over the years. Every single thing must be thoroughly investigated for me."
