The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 155 The wings are hardened

Because he was going to become a disciple today, Li Cong asked Chu Jie to stay and have dinner together. Of course, Chu Chenfeng also stayed.

There was still some time before dinner, so Li Mulan took Chu Jie to his courtyard. Chu Chenfeng stayed in Li Cong's courtyard and played chess.

"Xiao Jie, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?" The more Li Mulan thought about it, the more she felt something was not right. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the attitudes of both her grandfather and her second uncle.

"Sister Lan, I... I don't know what to say. Wait until tomorrow, and you'll know tomorrow."

Li Xun will enter the palace tomorrow. This news will surely spread throughout Kyoto in less than half a day, and he won't have to explain it by then.

Huo Yuanruo had already taken out the jar of wine from Li Mulan, and arranged for Li Xi to bring him some food. "Xiao Xi, go ask the kitchen to get some braised dishes and some cakes. I didn't eat much for lunch, and I'm a little hungry now."

Li Xi felt a headache coming on. Did he eat little for lunch? Eight dishes and a soup were eaten by the two of them. Of course, he was the main contributor.

"Brother Huo, dinner will be served soon. Can you eat now?"

Huo Yuanruo opened the jar of wine and sniffed it with satisfaction. It smelled really good. "What's for last night is for last night, and what's for now is for now. How can they be confused? Go quickly."

Li Xi sighed and went out resignedly.

Li Mulan didn't want to embarrass Xiaojie, so she didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and saw Huo Yuanruo bringing out her jar of wine. She immediately became furious, "Huo Yuanruo!"

Huo Yuanruo was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the wine jar shook twice in his hands. Fortunately, he was agile and caught it immediately. He looked at Li Mulan with resentment, "Little Master, you almost scared me to death."

Li Mulan stroked her forehead and said, "Didn't I tell you not to touch my wine?"

"Aren't we happy today? Xiaojie is here, shouldn't we celebrate?"

Li Mulan said with a cold face, "Xiaojie, do you want to drink?"

Chu Jie shook his head. He was only nine years old. What kind of wine was he drinking?

Huo Yuanruo argued seriously, "It's because Xiaojie doesn't want to drink that I have to help him drink. He is becoming my disciple today, which is a big deal. It would be unreasonable not to drink some wine to celebrate."

Li Mulan was too lazy to bother with him, so she stepped forward and grabbed the wine. As soon as the wine jar was in her hand, she realized something was wrong. She looked at Huo Yuanruo unkindly, "Where's my wine?"

Huo Yuanruo's eyes were evasive, but his mouth was quite firm, "Isn't it here?"

"Oh, this is only half a jar, do you think I'm stupid?"

Huo Yuanruo dodged and arrived at the gate of the courtyard. "There were only so many to begin with. Humph! Junior Master is too much. He didn't even let me drink the wine."

"You are so unreasonable. If you have the guts, don't come back."

"If you don't come back, then don't come back."

Chu Jie watched the two quarreling, and a strange emotion rose in his heart. It was great. Unlike when he was in the palace, there was no one to argue with him. He lived like a person wearing a mask every day.

Qingyu came over with a tray with two plates of cakes and a pot of fruit tea, and placed them on the stone table in the yard. "Xiaojiu, Xiaojie, come over here and sit and chat. It's hot today, so it's nice to drink some fruit tea."

Chu Jie smelled the fragrance just now, "What a rich fruity aroma, what kind of tea is this fruit tea?"

Li Mulan moved the wine jar back and put it away. When she came out, she heard Chu Jie's words and explained with a smile, "Fruit tea, as the name suggests, is tea made from various fruits. It tastes better and is suitable for women and children. Xiaojie, you can try it."

Xiao Jie looked at the beautiful color in the cup with curiosity, but Xiao Linzi beside him was anxious. How could the emperor eat anything from outside casually? It hadn't even been tested for poison. As a result, he saw his master drink a sip directly. He was shocked and shouted, "Master!"

Chu Jie naturally understood what he meant and gave him a warning look. Xiao Linzi's face turned red, but he had to hold it back. However, he had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't let anything get into trouble.

Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Li Mulan also noticed it, but since it was brought by Xiaojie, she didn't say much, "Xiaojie, try this mung bean cake, it's my sister's specialty."

Chu Jie's eyes were filled with laughter. "I know. On the way back from Mobei last time, Sister Qingyu prepared a lot of food for me, but this mung bean cake is the most unforgettable one for me. It's great that I can eat it again."

Qingyu gently touched his head, "If you like it, I'll make more for you to take back."

Chu Jie thought about it and said, "No, I won't. I will study with my teacher in the future, and there will be more opportunities. Besides, Brother Li Xi is here. If I want to eat, I can ask him to tell Sister Qingyu for me, hehehe."

"Okay, when you want to eat it, I'll make it for you."

Li Mulan knocked him on the head. Xiao Linzi beside him trembled, but due to Chu Jie's pressure, he could only endure it.

"Is your family very strict? Your uncle, tsk tsk tsk, I always feel like you're afraid of him. Does he usually not let you go out?"

Chu Jie shook his head first and then nodded, "I'm not afraid of my uncle, I respect him, but my uncle is very strict with me. He usually gives me a lot of tasks, so I don't have much time to play."

Li Mulan's eyes were filled with heartache. "What a sin! You are at an age where you should be playing with cats and dogs. Back then, I almost tore down the old Phoenix's house. I played with everything, from mountains to rivers. Look at you. You are controlled like this at such a young age. You don't have any childhood at all. The innocence of a child has been killed by your uncle."

Chu Jie's eyes were full of envy, "Sister seemed very happy when she was a child."

"I am happy. When I was young, except for two years when I was not in good health, I was free all the time. My master often took me out to travel, to see the customs of different places, the scenery of the four seasons, and to broaden my horizons. I tell you, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. If you have the chance, you should also go out more often, and you will know that the descriptions in books are not as good as the descriptions in the world."

Chu Jie's expression became a little lost, "I guess I don't have this opportunity anymore, going to Mobei..." This was probably the only time he would rebel in his life.

Seeing him like this, Li Mulan hurriedly comforted him, "You are still young. When you grow up and become independent, you won't need your uncle to control you anymore. Hehehe, you can do whatever you want by then."

Xiao Linzi was sweating profusely as he listened to this. He kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief. Oh my God, what on earth is this girl talking about?

Chu Jie smiled, "Okay, when I grow up, I will go out and enjoy the world." Although he knew that this was impossible, he could always look forward to it.
