Chapter 2671 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
In the second month, the enlightenment books written by Shi Li had been promoted all over the country.
On the northwest side, Lu Shenyuan led his troops deep into the enemy's territory alone and annihilated half of the border troops of the Yu tribe.
Shi Li followed Prime Minister Shi into the palace and met the Crown Prince for the first time.
The Crown Prince, who had just turned three, was chubby, had clear eyes and was cute.
When he saw Shi Li for the first time, he became very friendly and stretched out his arms to hug her legs, causing everyone present to burst into laughter.
The Emperor said directly to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, "It is clear that Xiaodu and Miss Shi are destined to be together. It is just right that he should be able to start learning at the age of three. Let Miss Shi take care of him."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess opened their eyes wide in shock.
Although the enlightenment book written by Shi Li is convincing, it is still too horrifying to teach her how to educate the crown prince and his son.
Some people wanted to say something but stopped themselves. When they met the emperor's smiling eyes, they dared not speak anymore.
Shi Li was also shocked and subconsciously looked at her father beside her. Prime Minister Shi knew that the emperor had such intentions, so he smiled and nodded to her.
"Thank you for your majesty's kindness. I will not let you down."
Shi Li gritted her teeth and agreed calmly. She was the first step towards entering officialdom for a woman of that era.
In the lush and green midsummer, good news comes from the Northwest again.
Lu Shenyuan led his army to victory again, annihilating most of the Yu Clan, leaving only a small force hiding in the depths of the desert.
"Miss, the letter has arrived."
Early in the morning, Shi Li was sitting in front of the dressing table putting on her makeup, when Liu Shui hurried in holding a letter from Xibei.
Shi Li immediately put down the jade comb and picked up the letter.
It is inconvenient to travel between the capital and the northwest, so it is not easy for Lu Shenyuan to receive a letter once every ten days.
Along with the letter, Shi Li also received items that Lu Shenyuan had purchased in the northwest, all of which were exquisite items that could not be found in the capital.
I don’t know whether Lu Shenyuan only reported good news and not bad news, or whether the war was really as he said, but the letter was all about peace and only talked about interesting things in the northwest, no matter how big or small.
Shi Li learned from the letter that the Arabian horse that Lu Shenyuan rescued several years ago had just given birth to a foal this year, and it was very cute.
Lu Shenyuan said that when he came back, he would bring the pony back with him so that Shi Li could take a good look at it.
As Shi Li read the letter, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, as if she also saw the unique scenery of the northwest desert.
Counting on my fingers, it has been almost half a year since Lu Shenyuan left for the northwest.
She was busy every day in the capital, but in her free time she always thought about the person who was not in front of her, and her longing for him turned into rain.
The flowers outside the window are him, the wind by the bridge is him, and the moon above my head in the corridor is still him.
After reading the letter, Shi Li carefully touched the vigorous words on it and sighed slowly.
Then he went to the window to grind ink and began to write back to Lu Shenyuan.
——When you come back, I also have a surprise for you.
June 17th, the night of the full moon.
While pursuing the remaining members of the Feather Clan in the desert, Lu Shenyuan was ambushed and lost contact with the main army, and there was no news from them since then.
When the news reached the capital, the emperor summoned Prime Minister Shi to the palace overnight and told him to keep the matter secret and not let Shi Li know.
That same night, Shi Li woke up from his dream with cold sweat all over his head.
Liushui walked in with a candlestick, "What's wrong, miss?"
"Nothing, I just had a bad dream." Shi Li wiped the sweat off his face and shook his head, but his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had a bad premonition.
Liushui came over and sat down, "Miss, go to sleep. I'll stay with you."
Shi Li nodded, but after lying down again she couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and she kept her eyes open until it was bright outside.
"Today is the ten-day deadline again, why hasn't any letter been delivered yet?"
Shi Li waited for a whole morning, but did not receive any letter from Xibei.
"Maybe it's because of the busy war, don't worry, miss." Liu Shui comforted her, but he was also a little uneasy in his heart.
But Shi Li had a lot to do. The Crown Prince was waiting for her in the East Palace for his enlightenment, and she couldn't waste even a moment.
Shi Li was a little absent-minded, and finally even the Crown Prince noticed it.
"Teacher, you are not feeling well. Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?" The Crown Prince frowned, looking mature.
Shi Li shook her head helplessly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's okay. Let's continue."
She waited patiently for another four or five days, but still received no letter from Northwest.
Finally, I had to go to Prime Minister Shi’s study.
"Father, please tell your daughter what happened in the northwest." Shi Li no longer believed that nothing had happened and the letter would not come.
Prime Minister Shi looked at her helplessly and finally told her the truth.
Shi Li's body swayed slightly, and she could hardly believe it.
