The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 1071 Who is King Qi’s sweetheart?
The weather was getting hotter, but Li Xiuyi was still afraid of the cold. He still wore thick clothes and sat by the window reading.

Pei Zhan felt a little uncomfortable. He neither liked reading nor could stand the stuffy heat here. He felt out of breath.

Li Xiuyi put down the book and looked up at Pei Zhan: "Let's go for a walk, it's too boring."

There are really many flowers in Chu State, and there are all kinds of flowers that can’t be named. Pei Zhan and Tao Zhen once saw a large field of flowers in the wild. The more they looked at them, the more familiar they looked. Later, they remembered that in Dashun, this kind of flower was known to people. Carefully maintained in flower pots, each pot is expensive.

Li Xiuyi has a habit. He likes to pinch flowers. If a flower is in full bloom, he will pinch one unconsciously, then pluck off the petals little by little and ball them up before throwing them into the garden.

Pei Zhan looked at his hand and the color stained by the petals on his hand, and finally said: "Your Highness, do you think Tao Zhen and Prince Qi look similar?"

Li Xiuyi nodded: "Similar, very similar."

Pei Zhan said: "But His Highness never said that."

Li Xiuyi smiled: "It's just a resemblance. It can't prove anything. If I had told you earlier, it would have only added to your troubles."

Li Xiuyi's answer did not surprise Pei Zhan. He was silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness is right."

Li Xiuyi glanced at him and said: "Our Chu State is different from Dashun. Some things are difficult to say, but your one-year period only has half a year left. You can just leave when the time comes. No matter whether it is the King of Qi or anyone else, It has nothing to do with you.”

Pei Zhan looked at him. Li Xiuyi was very calm when he said this, making it difficult to guess the meaning of his words.

Does this have anything to do with King Qi?

Unfortunately, a long time has passed and he has left Dashun and cannot check again.

Li Xiuyi suddenly asked: "Tao Zhen went to Prince Qi's Mansion?"

Pei Zhan nodded: "Miss Li came to invite me personally. It's good for her not to go."

Li Xiuyi pinched another blooming flower and said, "Prince Qi's Mansion is a bit far away, so go pick her up."

Tao Zhen met King Qi, but the attitude of others towards her was the same as before. There was no difference at all. They said that she was similar to the prince of Qi and they were generous and did not hide it at all.

Princess Qi's top-notch peonies were just peonies in Tao Zhen's eyes. There were many flowers and plants in Chu, and there were some that were prettier than them. Tao Zhen lost interest after just one glance.

She liked the scented tea prepared by Li Mingzhu very much.

Li Mingzhu asked: "Do you like this?"

Tao Zhen nodded generously: "What kind of flower is this? It tastes delicious."

Li Mingzhu mentioned a name, but Tao Zhen had never heard of it. Li Mingzhu smiled and said, "This scented tea is grown in the dense forest."

"Dense forest?" Tao Zhen looked at her puzzled.

"My mother is a Miao girl..." Li Mingzhu paused and smiled: "You have heard of Hua Mingxi, right? He is a Miao,"

Tao Zhen's eyes widened slightly when he heard Hua Mingxi's name, and he was very surprised.

"My mother is the daughter of a high priest. The marriage between my father and mother was arranged by the national master."

Tao Zhen was stunned for a long time. Although Xiao Yan looked very young, he was not old enough to be a matchmaker for King Qi.

Perhaps seeing Tao Zhen's surprise, Li Mingzhu explained: "It's not the current Imperial Preceptor, but the previous Imperial Preceptor. I heard what my mother said. My father had a sweetheart at that time. Later, his sweetheart married someone else. He I was very sad. It happened that I met my mother at that time and we got married."

Tao Zhen narrowed his eyes: "Who is King Qi's sweetheart?"

Li Mingzhu didn't answer, just looked at her with a smile.
