Huilan poured wine for Li Chengze. The food tasted pretty good. The two chatted while drinking. Huilan mostly talked, and he listened mostly, occasionally chiming in.

After dinner, Li Chengze asked her, "Where else do you want to play? I will take you to play."

Huilan shook her head, "No, the only real thing is to return to the palace as soon as possible. I have something I need you to help me with."

"explain."

"My brother will take the imperial examination next year. I was thinking about his studies, so I made medicine for him to strengthen his foundation. I wrote a letter and took it back to explain a few words to my father and brother. Everything else will be fine."

Huilan took a letter. The envelope was open but not sealed. She didn't write any secrets, so she wasn't afraid to read it.

There are also a few bottles of medicine, marked on the bottom, which are reserved for my brother. Take them to strengthen your body, so as not to wear down your body due to the imperial examination, so you should take care of yourself in advance.

Li Chengze glanced at the envelope, smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll let Xiao Anzi do it for you."

Huilan held his hand and said, "Please give me a favor and let Chang Ji make a trip, so that my brother can rest assured."

The original owner was thinking about two people, his grandmother and his brother.

Li Chengze understood that she hoped that her brother would take the imperial examination with confidence and have a bright future.

"Okay, Changji."

"The slave is here."

Changji opened the door and came in, lowered his head and replied.

"If you are bothered, Lan'er can go to Ding's house, give this letter to Lord Ding, and give these bottles of medicine to her brother, and tell her about Ding's promotion, so that their father and brother won't worry."

Chang Ji glanced at Huilan and saw her standing up to salute him. He was so frightened that he quickly moved away, not daring to accept her salute.

"Liangdi, you have broken my slave."

Changji bent down and spoke respectfully.

"Eunuch Chang, please tell me something. I'm looking forward to hearing the good news about my brother's title on the gold medal list. I'm doing well in the palace. Don't think about it."

"yes."

This sentence is enough.

"Go ahead."

Li Chengze signaled to Chang Ji.

Changji took the things and left.

Li Chengze turned to hold her hand and asked gently, "Why don't you tell your mother and the others?"

"It's enough for everyone to be well. One thousand taels is the attitude she gave me. I don't need to have any extravagant expectations. I don't complain or hate, it's just that the fate is shallow. There is no need to force it."

Huilan smiled and replied, "It has nothing to do with me in the first place. I just feel sorry for the original owner, so there is no need to force the relationship."

Li Chengze understood that her feelings were not about reconciliation, but about forgetting her, and giving up completely, just like her mother had given up on her daughter.

Holding her hand, I felt more and more that they had the same problem and were the same people.

"You have been wronged."

Huilan shook her head, "Sir, unspeakable grievances are the most aggrieved. I think you are more wronged than me.

But everyone in the world thinks that you got the position of prince because of the Queen and the Ma family, but they don't see that it is you who are outstanding enough to stand out.

You are truly aggrieved to have to shoulder the infinite kindness of the Ma family in the future."

Li Chengze laughed and shook his head, took her hand and kissed her, "I won't reward you for trying to please me so much."

Don't admit it or deny it, a man doesn't shed tears easily, he is always the one who gets the advantage, so there is no need to be pretentious, just swallow it bitterly.

Huilan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You look down on me, don't you? Am I such a snobbish person?"

Li Chengze nodded seriously, "You are just a snob, you can't be sure."

Huilan was so angry that she choked, grabbed his hand and bit her, "Bad guy, I shouldn't feel sorry for you, good intentions are not rewarded!"

The laughter dispelled the unhappiness. Seeing her regaining her vitality, Li Chengze breathed a sigh of relief and took her back in a carriage.

Chang Ji took his things to Ding's house. Naturally, the whole family came out to greet him when he arrived.

Lord Ding cupped his fists and saluted, and asked politely.

"I would like to send my greetings to Eunuch Chang, and to the prince's well-being. May I ask my father-in-law, but what are the prince's orders? Has something happened to the little girl?"

There was a look of uncontrollable anxiety and panic on his face.

Chang Ji returned the greeting with a smile, "Master Ding has misunderstood. The Za family has been ordered to send a message. Liang Di has been promoted recently, and has been promoted to the third rank of Liang Di.

His Highness likes Liangdi to be sensible and well-behaved, and the Ding family is good at educating their daughters. The prince ordered the Za family to pay his respects to Liangdi's father and brother.

This is Liangdi's letter to you and Master Ding. These are the medicines for the eldest young master. Liangdi made them herself. Liangdi has something to say to you two."

Master Ding came back to his senses with the letter in hand, "Please tell me."

"Liang Di said that everything is well with her daughter in the palace. She looks forward to hearing the good news about her brother. Don't miss her."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for taking the trouble to make the trip, and thank you, Your Highness, for your tolerance of my little girl."

Master Ding took the purse handed over by his wife and stuffed it into Chang Ji to express his gratitude.

Chang Ji accepted it happily, "Don't worry, sir, Liang Di is living a good life, she is pampered by the prince, and Wu Zi has been promoted, but this is the first time she has the dignity."

"Yes, thanks to the prince for taking care of me."

"Okay, the Za family has gone back and I won't send you away anymore."

Changji sent word to Huilan that she would go back soon.

"I don't dare to keep you, father-in-law. Let's go slowly."

Master Ding bowed again to see him off, then turned around and closed the door.

Mrs. Ding asked eagerly, "Master, what is written in Lan'er's letter? Please take a look."

Lord Ding nodded, opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he pondered deeply.

"Dad, what did my sister say?"

"There is no secret, just a few words of warning, and she told me not to decide your marriage at will. She will wait for you to be named on the gold list and ask the prince to arrange a good marriage for you.

These medicines are also given to you, and the usage is described above so that you can take good care of your body."

Lord Ding read the letter and felt a little complicated.

Mrs. Ding and Ding Manxuan, who were standing together, waited for a long time but no one mentioned that they were a little anxious.

"Gone?"

"Dad, didn't sister mention mother? That shouldn't be the case. Mother misses sister every day."

Master Ding looked deeply at his little daughter, his face was serious and his tone was not good.

"Stop being so mean. You took away your sister's marriage and her dowry. Do you think she should repay kindness with evil?

Naive! If you don’t want to live a good life in the future, just go out and talk nonsense.

If the eunuch who can be close to the prince comes to send a message, we know that she has some dignity in front of the prince. This is a slap and warning to us.

From now on, you are not allowed to do anything in your name when you go out, and be careful what you say, otherwise don't blame me for expelling you from the Ding family."

Mrs. Ding's face was a little pale and her expression was sluggish and dazed.

"yes."

Ding Manxuan lowered her head and responded, not daring to speak harshly.

"There is no need to enter the palace. Not disturbing me is the greatest help."

Master Ding understood what Huilan meant. She had a close relationship with the Ding family, so don't ask for too much.

"Dad, I'm going back to study."

On the other hand, Ding Simiao, the eldest young master of the Ding family, explained coldly and rationally, took the things and the letter and left.

Master Ding glanced at his wife, shook his head, sighed, and left without saying anything.
