Li Su touched her daughter’s back and felt some sweat.
She said to Mother Qiu, “Hold on to Lu Xi and get a change of clothes!” Li Su hadn’t been a mother before and had gone through several lifetimes.
All the other children she had were older.
This was the first time she had one so young.
Li Su had no experience in taking care of children.
In this regard, she had more faith in professionals.
Although some of their parenting concepts weren’t as scientific as those in the later generations, they were definitely the most suitable for children in this era.
It was better to follow local customs.

Li Lu Xi was reluctant to leave.
She pouted.
She was having fun with her mother and didn’t want to leave.

Li Su smiled.
“Go and change your clothes with Mother Qiu.
Mother and eldest brother are waiting for you so we can eat together, okay?”

Li Lu Xi smiled and turned to jump into Mother Qiu’s warm embrace.
Mother Qiu hugged Li Lu Xi and smiled.
She finally gave birth to a daughter, but lost her after a month.
She was then chased out by a cruel mother-in-law and had nowhere to go.
Later, her master sent her to serve the young miss.
Her days had become better.

Li Su and Li Yi Cheng went to the table and sat down.
Li Yi Cheng took out the ointment.
“Mother, this is what I bought from the pharmacy.
It is good for blood circulation.”

Li Su smiled.
He had remembered this.
“Okay, thank you very much.” She then rolled up her sleeves.

Li Yi Cheng carefully put the ointment on Li Su’s wrist, rubbing it on for a while.

Li Su asked the maid to fetch some water for Li Yi Cheng to wash his hands with.
She then said, “Yi Cheng, come.”

Li Su brought Li Yi Cheng to look at her study plan.
“I’m just idle, so I made this to pass the time.
What do you think?”

Li Yi Cheng took a closer look and laughed.
“Very well, I’ll send mother the essays on the classics and the copybooks when I go back.” The days were long, so he didn’t want to leave his mother bored.
Besides, learning was a good thing.

In Li Yi Cheng’s mind, whatever his mother wanted to do was fine.

“Do you think it’s good too? That’s great!” Li Su was very happy to get her son’s approval.

“Mother, I have finished my homework today.
After dinner, I will continue to write the storybook with you!” Li Yi Cheng raised his head and smiled.

“What? You’re done?” Li Su knew how much Li Yi Cheng did every day.
He had to do recitations, calligraphy, writing, riding, and shooting, where he had to draw the bow 200 times a day.
He had managed to complete everything so he must not have rested during the day.
“Didn’t you say that this matter wasn’t important? Let me look at your hand.”

Li Su said that she wanted to take Li Yi Cheng’s hand to have a look.

Li Yi Cheng hid his hands behind his back and refused to let Li Su look.
“Mother, I’m fine.
Don’t worry.
Is the food ready? I’m hungry.”

Li Su was helpless.
Why was this kid so sensible? He must have injured his hand.
Instead of using the medicine on himself, he used it on her.
“Fine.
What do you want to eat tomorrow morning? Mother will ask Auntie Zhang to make it for you.”

“I want to eat noodles that mother has made.
But, if mother can’t get up in the morning, then I can eat it tomorrow night.” Li Yi Cheng knew that if he didn’t ask for anything, his mother would feel uneasy.

“Why wait for tomorrow night? Mother will get up early to make it for you.
Isn’t it just Ge Da noodles?1” Li Su said with a smile.
The original host knew how to cook a bit, with Ge Da noodles being one of the things she made the best.
In the past, Lu Wen Da and Li Yi Cheng liked to eat the Ge Da noodles made by the original.
However, ever since Lu Wen Da went to the capital to take the exam, the original owner had not made Ge Da noodles.”

The original owner only cared about her husband and inevitably neglected her children.

No matter how clever he was, he was still a child.
Li Su touched Li Yi Cheng’s head, distressed.
Since she is his mother, then she should do her duty as his mother.
Wasn’t it just preparing breakfast? Those mothers who accompanied their children to study in later generations worked from dawn to dusk and carefully prepared 3 meals a day for their children.

Li Su thought to herself.
Li Yi Cheng woke at 5:30, read for an hour, then had breakfast.
After, he went to the Jiang household to study and did not return until evening.
From now on, she will prepare breakfast for Li Yi Cheng every morning at 6.

The family of 3 happily ate dinner.
Li Lu Xi was young and played too much in the afternoon.
After eating, Li Su asked Mother Qiu to coax Li Lu Xi to sleep.
Li Lu Xi slept in the main room while Mother Qiu slept on a couch near her.

Then, Li Su and Li Yi Cheng continued to write stories.

However, after only writing one, Li Su said that she was tired and excused herself so that they could continue tomorrow.

Li YI Cheng knew that his mother was afraid that he would be tired.
He smiled and put the pen away.
“Mother, I think this storybook is very good.
It will probably be very popular.
Tomorrow, I will go out and ask around to see which bookstore is suitable for it.”

Li Su smiled.
“There is no hurry.
Your mother never asked you what you studied at the Jiang household.
How many gentlemen and students are there?”

Li Yi Cheng washed his hands and smiled slightly.
“Etiquette, music, archery, managing affairs, reading and writing, and arithmetic, just the six arts of a noble character.
There is also farming, crafts, and so forth.
As for students… In addition to me, there are more than 10 people arranged by foster father.
However, foster father only accepted me as his adopted son.
There are monthly exams and those who fail are kicked out.
Today, there are only seven people left.
I am in Class A and the rest are in Class B.”

Li Su was thoughtful.
This was spreading the net to catch more fish, where he chose only the best! Did this Jiang Zhi En really just want revenge and to knock down the crown prince? This seemed like an elaborate plan.

“Mother, don’t worry.
Your son knows.” When Li Yi Cheng saw this pattern on the first day of enrolment, he was shocked.
But, when he noticed his adoptive father looking at him, expressionless, Li YI Cheng knew that he had already boarded the ship and couldn’t look back now.
All he could do was to make himself stronger, the most important and indispensable part of foster father’s plan so he could protect his family.

Li Yi Cheng was also an ambitious and ** person.
Although he did not agree with everything his adoptive father said, he also partially agreed with him.
The aristocrats, generals, and ministers of the state lived peacefully! These sorts of people were born aloof and could rely on their status to be unscrupulous.
Why did they have to become the sacrifices and the oppressed? He was dissatisfied! One day he would use his power to change all this!

It’s just that he couldn’t let his mother know these thoughts or she would worry.

Little did Li Yi Cheng know, but when he said this, Li Su felt even more sorry for him.
Li Yi Cheng had probably piqued Jiang Zhi En’s interest from the very beginning.
All the humiliation and suffering he had encountered was probably designed by Jiang Zhi En.
Even if it wasn’t planned by him, she guessed that he had always been aware of it but chose to ignore it so that Li Yi Cheng was tortured enough to enter the palace as a eunuch.
He then appeared in front of Li Yi Cheng as a saviour and took him on as a disciple, teaching him carefully.
The reason why Li Yi Cheng became vicious and sought to take revenge was also likely due to Jiang Zhi En.
In the end, it was Jiang Zhi En who pushed Li Yi Cheng into the position of the Nine Thousandth, almost overturning Da Liang.

Although there had been many variables in this life, Jiang Zhi En’s purpose was still the same.
Li Su couldn’t help but be vigilant.
Such a huge pressure could not be carried by Li Yi Cheng alone.
After all, he was still a child.
As his mother, she could not just sit back and enjoy his achievements.
She had to stand up.

“Mother will always be with you.” Li Su gently held Li Yi Cheng.
She would always be with and prevent him from having such a miserable end.

Li Yi Cheng was a little shy.
He was a manly man and he shouldn’t indulge in his mother’s embrace.
But, his mother’s embrace was so warm and he didn’t want to leave!

Early next morning, Li Su got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
She made a big bowl of Ge Da noodles.
Li Yi Cheng was very happy.
He ate the large bowl without leaving anything behind.

Li Su felt happy and guilty when she saw him so happy.
He was satisfied with just a bowl of noodles? It seemed that she was a negligent mother previously.

After Li Yi Cheng left, Li Su read and practiced her characters in the morning, all according to her lesson plan.
She then made food for Li Lu Xi at noon.
She spread the quilt on the ground and played with Little Lu Xi for a while, teaching her to talk.
This little one was almost 20 months old.
She could only call out ‘mother’, and not older brother.

When Li Yi Cheng was about to return, Li Su went back to the kitchen to cook a few simple dishes.

Li Yi Cheng learned that she had made the dishes by herself so he was very happy.
He ate more than normal for dinner.

Li Yi Cheng was a little embarrassed and Li Su was a little sad.
She decided that, as long as Li Yi Cheng came home to eat in the future, she would cook.

Unlike the three of them, Lu Wen Da and Princess Chang Shan were unhappy.

Princess Chang Shan and Lu Wen Da’s wedding was a bit rushed, but Princess Chang Shan’s dowry was still very generous.
The empress emptied most of her private treasury and the prince also contributed a lot.

At the beginning of the wedding, Lu Wen Da and Princess Chang Shan had a fairy-tale-like life.
But soon, they encountered a problem.
Princess Chang Shan was pregnant.
Although they got along well, customs obstructed them from getting close.
Lu Wen Da was okay with it for the sake of his son, but Princess Chang Shan was not happy.

Lu Wen Da had no choice but to follow the wishes of Princess Chang Shan.
As a result, it was only once.
That night, Princess Chang Shan bled and the imperial doctor tried his best to save the child.
Princess Chang Shan also injured her body and was unable to become pregnant for a few years.

Lu Wen Da was very disappointed.
He was already 27 this year.
He originally had a son and a daughter, but they were both gone.
That’s all.
Now it was difficult to have a child with Princess Chang Shan who was the emperor’s grandson and the crown prince’s nephew! This was bad!

Lu Wen Da inevitably blamed Princess Chang Shan in his heart and showed some traces of this on his face.

This made the crown prince, who came to visit in disguise, very dissatisfied.
This crown prince was not ashamed of Lu Wen Da’s character.
In his opinion, Lu Wen Da was 10 years older than Bao Ling.
Lu Wen Da should be grateful and twice as good to Bao Ling.
Now, he dared to be dissatisfied with Bao Ling.

When Lu Wen Da saw the prince coming, he put on a sad expression and greeted him.
“Your Highness!”

The crown prince coldly looked at Lu Wen Da and ignored him.
He then ordered someone to prepare to take Princess Chang Shan back to the palace.
