Not long later, Li Yu, who was dressed neatly and elegantly, appeared in the Li Residence's front hall.

As soon as he appeared, he heard praises.

"Aiyaya, no wonder we were able to get the position of a genius. A Hibiscus was born from clear water, truly beautiful!"

"Miss Li has indeed transcended the mortal world and is like a fairy. Compared to the people from the harem, she is like the clouds and mud …"

"Sir Li is truly worthy of being the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites. You really know how to teach women!" Look, although Miss Li has been selected, she does not reject people who are thousands of miles away, and is still dressed in her usual plain clothes! "

"..."

Li Chu couldn't help but feel a little disdain in his heart.

Her father, who pretended to be drinking tea without a word, was probably thinking the same thing as her.

A sliver of cunning streaked across Li's eyes that were initially like black jade.

"Thank you for your praise, but I dare not accept it." Li Jun bowed deeply towards everyone.

"Milords, today's plain clothes are no different from the one worn on the day of the talent show. All the lords liked Chu Yu's simple and elegant clothing. They thought for themselves that the emperor would probably like to have the privilege of entering the palace in the first place as well. In that case, my lords have come here today to congratulate you. It seems like all of you are of the same heart as the Emperor. "We should congratulate you, my lords!"

The moment these words were spoken, none of the lords spoke a word.

Li Yu Chu secretly thought to himself, if the adults were truly pure and clean, then he wouldn't have lined up in the Li Residence to kiss ass to him and his father.

The minister of the military had been standing quietly by the side. After hearing Li's words, he raised his head and laughed heartily. He could already hear the meaning behind Li Chu's words.

"This girl is indeed pure and pure, extraordinary!" Gongyi's eyes were filled with appreciation when he looked at Li Chu.

"Ah, thank you, my lords." Li Zhaodong put down an undrunk cup of tea, in time to ease the awkward situation.

"Aiya, unluckily, Sir Li redeemed himself. This official suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to attend to. I have already seen the daughter and has fulfilled her wish for today." "One day, I will pay a visit and atone for my sins."

"That's right, that's right. After being harassed for so long, it's about time for this official to leave."

The lords had originally wanted to come today and try to get on their good side, so it could be said that they wanted to rope them in. However, before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Li Chu.

The Minister of War Gongyi had a good relationship with the Li family and finally left. Before leaving, he laughed heartily and praised them.

The Li Residence finally regained its peace and quiet.

Li Yue had been starving all morning, so she played with her mouth again. Her stomach was growling unrestrainedly.

"Dad, do you have breakfast? I'm panicking from hunger."

Li Zhaodong sighed and stepped forward, stroking Li Chu's forehead. His eyes were filled with love and reluctance.

"Little Meng, you have to change your mouth from now on." Especially after entering the palace … " At this point, Li Zhaodong's voice became choked with sobs.

"Father, I know. I've never seen any of those lords before, except for the Minister of War. From this, one could see the purpose of these people's visit. "If I don't shut their mouths, these snobbish people will stick to me and ruin my father's good name!"

"When I grow up, I'll think for my father." A faint wry smile appeared on Li's face, but it did not escape Li's eyes.

As a result, from the afternoon to the evening of the same day, there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him.

He sent out invitations throughout the night.

Two days later, the carriages and horses were constantly present in front of the Li Residence's gate. They had come to congratulate the Li Residence for their participation in the banquet.

Dinner was a common occurrence, but it could be said to be delicious.

"Chu, this... This, this is your Sixth Aunt, and this, should be your distant concubine's Third Cousin Brother … "

Li Wen listened to his father's musings as he introduced these relatives. He was really tired for his father.

After hearing that Li Junior High had chosen a beautiful girl, she came out from every corner and actually arrived at the Li Residence on the same day.

"Greetings to aunt and cousin. Please take a seat, cousin." Li Jun was initially patient.

Suddenly, the cousin held up a glass of wine and handed it to Li Chu. He poured another full one for himself.

"As soon as my sister flies into the sky, I hope that you can support her well in the future." After he finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his cup in one gulp.

As soon as his cousin put down his glass, his cousin stood up and bowed shyly to Li Chu.

"It's been so many years since I've come to see you. I apologize. If you don't give up, please take care of me, sister … … My little sister also wishes to enter the palace … "

The aunt hurriedly said, "Of course I'll help you guys secretly. As relatives, you'll have broken bones and tendons no matter how far away you are!"

Li Chu raised his glass, his heart filled with disgust. The Li family had such a relative. It was fortunate that they hadn't been in contact with each other for many years.

Just as he was getting frustrated, a beautiful figure with the fragrance of peach blossoms floated to Li Chu's side.

"Chu'er …." The gentle female voice was like the spring breeze blowing into Li Chu's ears.

Li Wen turned his head and saw that he did not recognize the person.

Seeing Li Jun in a daze, the woman felt slightly awkward. Then he smiled and reminded Li Chu:

"It's been so many years since we've last met, and yet you've actually forgotten about me. I'm your childhood sister Yao'er!"

Li Yu recalled that when he was five years old, Yao'er's father had risen up by a grade.

Since then, she had completely disappeared from her life, never to appear again.

Li Jun couldn't help but laugh in her heart, but on her face, there was gentleness.

"Oh, it's elder sister Yao'er. It's been more than ten years since I last saw you and you've become so beautiful. I'm sorry, but I never knew that the beauty in front of me was this elder sister."

The entire banquet was filled with false affection and friendship, and it was more of a flattery.

Li Zhaodong was invulnerable to swords and spears. No matter how high his daughter and him were held in high esteem, Lord Li only replied, "The Emperor has shown us great kindness. This old official is flattered."

It was almost evening when the tiring feast finally came to an end.

After sending off the guests, Li Chu looked at his exhausted father. Both of them let out a heavy breath at the same time, and both of them smiled at the same time.

Late at night, all of the servant girls were asleep.

Li Zhaodong was deep in thought in his study when the door opened with a creak. It was his daughter, Li Chu.

"Dad, I'm guessing that you haven't eaten your fill today. Me too, let's have some snacks."

Li Zhaodong smiled in understanding. His daughter had indeed grown up.

He had originally wanted to talk to her, but he was afraid that she would sleep early and not disturb him after a tiring day. Who knew that she would come over at this moment?

"Chu'er, dad, I don't want you to go to the palace …."

Li Jun was stunned. Father originally was not willing to allow her to enter the palace!

"Oh... What's wrong with entering the palace? " Li Chu tentatively asked his father.

"Father has been an official for several decades, accompanying a tiger like monarch. The backyard of the palace is a place where one can't even see the bones of a person. The actions within this place have truly flabbergasted people. Father is worried about you." Li Zhengdong's face was gloomy and gloomy.

"Dad, I'm so smart, how could I be at a disadvantage! Your daughter has been looking forward to this day, have you forgotten? Last time when you restricted my legs, didn't I say that I would properly honor you as the empress! " Li Yu was afraid that his father would be worried, so he pretended to look forward to it.

Li Zhaodong looked at his daughter who was brimming with energy and frowned.

"Really? Do you really want to enter the palace? "
