Chapter 8: Eat with the Emperor (Part 1)

We are about to meet this aunt whom we have never met. The two have never had any interaction before, and there is no such thing as family affection. Their status is extremely different. Li Gouer is very nervous at this moment.

"Eunuch Le, where is my father? I'd better meet him first!"

Li Gou'er didn't know how to face this suddenly extra aunt, so she thought she would meet her father first. With him by her side, she would feel more at ease.

Xiao Lezi thought about it. The Imperial Concubine had just gotten up and it took some time to wash and dress up, but it was too late.

"Old Master Li is in the side hall, I will take you there."

Li Mancang got up before the hour of Mao, which was a habit he had developed over the years. In the past, he used to work in wealthy families, and he needed to do too many things every day. If he didn't get up so early, he wouldn't have to finish things, and he would have no food to eat.

Several eunuchs were busy, and they helped him dress and wash, and brought breakfast and pastries. Li Mancang didn't dare to think about such a life before, but now it really happened to him, just like a dream.

Li Mancang sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the food, the eunuch beside him said in panic: "How dare you trouble you? What do you want to eat? Just look at it, picking up the food and feeding it by the slave."

Li Mancang smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and said, "I'm really not used to you like this and I can't eat it. I'd better do it myself!"

The eunuch nodded, and did not insist. He took two steps back and stood with his hands down.

Pushing open the door, Li Gou'er walked in, and saw his father at first sight, his eyes turned red. Although the father and son had only not seen each other for a few days, they had experienced a separation and death. Li Gou'er rushed up, hugged his father, and started crying in a low voice.

When the eunuchs around him saw Li Gou'er, they were shocked. When Xiao Lezi walked in and looked at them, the eunuchs understood that this young man should be the nephew of the imperial concubine.

Li Mancang touched his son's head and asked him to sit beside him. He looked at the gauze on his forehead and bruises on his face, and whispered: "I already know your affairs. Why are you crazy? How dare you do robbery? And the one who robs him was the son of a high-ranking official. Are you desperate?"

Li Gou'er smiled bitterly and said, "You were so sick at that time. You didn't eat or drink for a few days. I won't rob it. Do you want to die when you see you? Besides, if it weren't for this, how could you recognize your aunt?"

Li Mancang sighed: "You looked honest when you were a child. Since you were eight years old, you got a serious illness and your temperament has changed. It is completely different from before. You talk nonsense all day long that outsiders can't understand. In the past two years, I thought you would recover as before, but I didn't expect that this time, you committed such a big deal and almost lost your life."

Li Gou'er didn't respond, and was not alone. Of course, his personality would not be the same. However, he would never tell Li Mancang about this secret, and even if he told it, he would probably not believe it.

After sleeping for three days, the drip of water had not yet entered, Li Gou'er was so hungry that there was a ready-made one here, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Li Mancang looked at him lovingly, picking up the dishes that Li Gou'er likes from time to time and putting them in his bowl.

There were not many dishes, seven or eight dishes, but they were all things that Li Gou'er had never eaten before, and they were extremely delicious.

After eating and drinking, Li Gou'er raised her sleeve and wiped the greasy mouth clean. The eunuchs around her were stunned. They had never seen such a person in the palace for many years.

"Why did you come here? Let me have a meal."

The beautiful palace maid ran in and saw Li Gou'er and others, and hurriedly said, "The Imperial Concubine wants to see you, hurry up and leave!"

Li Gou'er stood up, looked at Li Mancang, and said, "Old man, go with me."

Li Mancang nodded and stood up with difficulty. Li Gou'er hurriedly supported him and asked with concern: "Old man, I've been raising him for a few days, isn't he better?"

"I am older and recovering slowly, but the imperial doctor said that I am just short of food and even weak, and I have no major problems."

Li Gou'er smiled and said, "Old man, you are less than forty, don't say anything older."

With his father beside him, Li Gou'er's mood suddenly became much more relaxed, talking and laughing.

The two followed the palace maid to Concubine Li's bedroom.

Seeing Concubine Li, the father and son knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. Li Gou'er raised her head slightly and looked at Concubine Li secretly, but was a little stunned.

My father said that his aunt was named Li Yi, two years older than him, so she was nearly forty years old this year, but the woman sitting on it was wearing a big red brocade quilt, with a dignified face, noble temperament, extremely beautiful and charming appearance, with long black hair and waist, white and tender skin, and she looked at at most in her early thirties.

"It's all my family, don't be too polite, third brother get up quickly."

Concubine Li raised her hand to help her, and the two palace maids immediately stepped forward to help her father and son.

Concubine Li looked at Li Gou'er. He looked very similar to Li Mancang. Looking at him, it seemed as if he had seen his third brother when he was young. He recalled some old things in his hometown in his mind. Concubine Li was also a little confused.

When Li Mancang saw Li Gou'er watching Li Yi in a daze, he didn't call anyone, and suddenly felt angry on his face. He slapped Li Gou'er in the head and said angrily: "Stupid brat, why are you stupid? Why don't you call someone quickly."

Li Gou'er came to her senses, lowered her head, and called out "Auntie."

After being a mud-legged person in this world for several years, his thoughts were a little solidified. When he suddenly saw Li Yi, an extremely noble person, everything on both sides was so disparate, and Li Gou'er was a little confused for a moment.

Li Yi smiled and looked at Li Gou'er with soft eyes. This was her own nephew.

"Why were you just dazed?"

Li Gou'er disturbed Rao's head and said embarrassedly: "I thought my aunt was nearly forty years old and must be a middle-aged woman, but I didn't expect that she was so young and beautiful, and I had never seen such a beautiful person before."

The words Li Gou'er said were some compliments, but after coming to this world, I have never seen any woman be more beautiful than her aunt, so it is not completely nonsense.

Li Yi smiled and said to Li Mancang: "Third brother, the dog looks very similar to what you were when you were a child."

Li Mancang laughed and said, "That's it, that's it, my species, doesn't look like me?"

These words were a bit rude, and no one in the palace would say that, so Li Gou'er immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Old man, can you not speak so rudely? People laughed at it and said that you are not well-educated."

Li Mancang said angrily: "You and I don't know a lot, and you have a mud-legged one. What kind of cultivation is it? Are you looking for a beating?"

Li Gou'er shouted: "I'm just making an analogy, it's not that you have no cultivation. Why are you anxious?"

The eunuchs and palace maids around saw the two of them quarreling there, and they all covered their mouths and laughed quietly. Li Yi looked at them with a gentle face. Their actions looked very rude and rude. If it were someone else, Li Yi would have been furious and punished them severely. However, the two people now are their own brothers and the other are their own nephews. Seeing them quarreling loudly, Li Yi was not irritable or angry, but instead felt warm in her heart.
