Aye and the others are good at killing people with knives, wielding swords, riding horses and archery, but they are not good at sewing, mending and washing. Now that there are two more little girls, it is somewhat beneficial.

"Master Aye, has the Second Highness rested yet?" Xiaoman who came back from picking the shepherd's purse asked with a salute.

"Rest." Aye looked at her and Zhen'er: "You don't need to change my son, I am no different from you." He said, looking at the wild vegetables in the bamboo basket: "Make dumplings?"

"Make some vegetarian meatballs." Zhen'er smiled and said, "I just dug them, and sister Xiaoman and I picked the best ones."

A Ye smiled: "Then you go to work."

The two girls turned and walked towards the kitchen, Aye turned and went back to the house.

Li Ji was sitting by the stove reading a book, when Aye stepped forward, picked up a piece of charcoal with tweezers and threw it into the belly of the stove, and said happily: "My little master, those two maids Chen Yuan gave us really helped us a lot, and they changed every day. It’s really caring to cook delicious food for you.”

Li Ji glanced at him and smiled a little: "You have changed a lot towards Chen Yuan."

Aye looked up at him, wondering if Li Ji's focus was wrong, but he followed his words: "He has changed, he is very different from before. Didn't the little master say that knowing his mistakes can make a big difference."

Li Ji put down the book in his hand, nodded his head in agreement, and changed the subject: "In two days' time, it will be New Year's Eve. After lunch, you and Amu will go down the mountain to buy some new year's goods."

Aye smiled and said: "Is the little master greedy?" These words are quite condescending.

Li Ji smiled indifferently and didn't refute. After all, he was just a 13-year-old child.

Aye stood up: "This subordinate will go with Amu and buy candied haws for you when I come back."

Li Ji smiled, cute and childish: "One per person."

……

Sitting in the carriage was really boring, so Li Geng took stock of what Chen Yuan had brought to Li Ji.When he saw the candied haws, his eyes lit up, he picked up a bunch and ate it, and said: "Brother, you are so thoughtful, you even prepared the candied haws."

"You children don't like to eat these things." Chen Yuan said, looking out of the window, and happened to see Amu and Aye, and hurriedly stood up and poked his head out, shouting at the two tool men.

The carriage stopped, and when he learned that Chen Yuan was coming to see them, Amu happily ran to report to Li Ji.

"Master Sun, you go first, I'll go down the mountain to buy some things."

Chen Yuan stopped A Ye: "Buying new year's goods? I bought everything that should be bought, so there is no need to go."

"My cousin even bought candied haws." Li Geng, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and shook the half-eaten candied haws in his hand.

A Ye was surprised, his eyes were as bright as the stars when he looked over: "Even the candied haws are prepared." He looked at Chen Yuan, and for some unknown reason, he thought that the little master was very happy to have Chen Yuan.

Amu quickly returned to the imperial mausoleum, arrived in front of Li Ji, and pointed outward.

Li Ji understood dumb words, and frowned: "What is he doing here?"

Amu shook his head.

Li Ji wanted to say something when he heard Chen Yuan's voice outside.

"Cousin!" Chen Yuan jumped off the carriage, "Your cousin, I'm here to see you."

Li Ji went out of the house and gave Chen Yuan a sharp look: "What are you doing here?"

"Second brother, my cousin is here to give you special gifts for the New Year." Li Geng stepped forward, "And this." He handed over the two bunches of candied haws that were still in his hand.

Li Ji was a little uncomfortable being so close to Li Geng, but he didn't try to alienate him. He didn't answer, and just said: "You came too."

"Of course I will follow. Cousin misses you, and I miss you a lot." Li Geng was quite straightforward, and gave away the candied haws in his hand: "Eat it, cousin bought it for you."

Chen Yuan ordered Aye and the others to take down the New Year's goods, and he brought over the simple toilet: "It's specially made for you."

Li Ji didn't understand: "This is?"

"Toilet." Chen Yuan sat on it: "When you go to the latrine, sit on it. Your feet are inconvenient, and squatting must be difficult. It's much more comfortable to sit this way."

Li Ji seemed surprised that Chen Yuan would be so caring, and glanced at him: "Thank you."

Chen Yuan laughed: "And this." He handed over the slingshot pinned to his waist: "It's for you to play with."

It's like being stuffed with a soup lady in his heart to warm his heart. He grew up so big, and no one has ever made him any gadgets. When he was in the palace, he watched other brothers playing with slingshots, envious and jealous, but he didn't People made it for him. After so many years, he never thought that Chen Yuan would make him a slingshot.

"Go ahead." Chen Yuan stuffed the slingshot to him: "Can't you still meet me?" He took a bunch of candied haws from Li Geng's hand and handed it to Li Ji: "Eat it."

Li Ji answered: "Thank you."

Chen Yuan smiled: "I know, thank you, there is progress."

Li Ji ignored his teasing, and only told Aye to let the kitchen cook more meals.

Chen Yuan went to the kitchen to rest assured that the two little girls were unharmed.It wasn't that he worried too much, but that Li Ji in the novel was too terrifying, like a murderous maniac, he was worried that Li Ji would not be able to kill him, and would take revenge on the person he sent.

After dinner, Li Geng was playful and insisted on going hunting with Aye and the others, but Chen Yuan couldn't agree, so he had to tell the four of them to protect Li Geng.

"You don't need to say, they can do it." Li Ji reassured him: "I promise, he will come back unscathed."

Chen Yuan looked at him and said with a smile, "I believe you are an older brother."

Li Ji didn't talk to him again, and went back to the house bypassing him.Chen Yuan followed him and asked, "Are you satisfied with the things I gave you?"

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

Li Ji turned around, almost ran into Chen Yuan's arms, staggered back a step, almost lost his footing, and was supported by Chen Yuan.

"Be careful." Chen Yuan's eyes fell on Li Ji's feet: "Does your feet still hurt now?"

Li Ji went to sit on the couch by the hearth: "You haven't answered me yet, why are you so kind to me? Could it be that this time is also a task assigned by the dean?"

"No." Chen Yuan sat beside him, with one leg boldly placed on the couch, and his hands on his knees: "This time I did it voluntarily. I’m here to bring you some New Year’s goods.”

Hearing the word "voluntary", Li Ji's eyes changed, he was a little surprised, a little puzzled, and even a little bit happy.

Chen Yuan got up and added some charcoal to the stove: "I brought some smokeless charcoal, and I will use them in the house later."

Li Ji looked up at him, moved his lips, and only said "thank you".

Chen Yuan smiled: "Why are you pretending to be an adult? You are obviously a 13-year-old brat, and you pretend to be serious all day long. Aren't you tired?"

Li Ji was a little embarrassed: "How can I pretend?"

Chen Yuan looked at Li Ji with smiling eyes: "Whether you pretend or not, you know in your heart."

Li Ji said stubbornly: "I have always had such a character since I was a child."

"Is it because you grew up in the cold palace? Or was it taught by your mother?" Chen Yuan blurted out.

Li Ji's expression changed, probably because Chen Yuan treated him well, he wasn't angry, but his expression was somewhat lonely and sinister.

Chen Yuan saw that his expression was not right: "Did I ask too much?"

Li Ji didn't answer, and turned the topic to his feet: "It's been eight years, and it still hurts."

Chen Yuan frowned: "How did you fall?"

"Climbed the wall and fell."

Chen Yuan frowned deeper: "You were so naughty when you were young, really." He hesitated to speak, and sighed: "I also fell off my arm climbing the wall."

Li Ji was silent for a moment: "My mother and concubine are sick, and the eunuch who delivered the food refused to call the imperial doctor. I climbed up on the wall to attract attention, but unexpectedly..."

At this point, he didn't say any more, his immature face lost any warmth, and showed a coldness that didn't match his years.

Chen Yuan watched the immature boy's face turn cold, and clenched his fists in his sleeves. He knew that he was angry, and it should be a painful memory that he didn't want to mention.

After being silent for a while, Chen Yuan said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Li Ji remained silent with a sullen face.

Chen Yuan kindly persuaded: "It's all in the past, don't be so resentful about your children..."

"What do you know!" Before he finished speaking, Li Ji suddenly became angry and stared at him: "If you don't know anything, don't make sarcastic remarks!"

Seeing him getting angry, Chen Yuan couldn't help sulking: "I said something sarcastic, but I just don't want you to be immersed in the past." He snorted: "I'm just a brat, I'm like a puffer fish all day long. If I were your brother, I would beat you up."

Chen Yuan really hated Li Ji for always acting like the whole world owed him. He was quite young and angry, and he was annoyed that he was so full that he came here to find steam. Impulsively, he added angrily: " With your bad temper, it's no wonder that even your father doesn't love you."

As soon as he said this, Chen Yuan regretted it, especially when he saw Li Ji's expression, he regretted it even more.

Li Ji's face turned pale in an instant, those beautiful eyes turned ferocious, but tears welled up again, he stared at Chen Yuan as if he was about to kill him.

Chen Yuan also looked at him, regretting it, and feeling distressed uncontrollably: "Little Ice Cube, no, Li Ji, I, I am not..."

"Get out!" Li Ji held back his tears and cursed, "Get out immediately!"

Chen Yuan turned cold and said, "I won't leave." He sat directly next to Li Ji, and softened his tone: "I apologize to you, can you not be angry?"

Li Ji ignored him and got up to leave.

Chen Yuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab him, and with great force, and Li Ji walking unsteadily, he fell into Chen Yuan's arms in a daze.

Li Ji hadn't said anything yet, but Chen Yuan called out first, "It hurts like hell."

Li Ji hurriedly stood up and turned around: "Are you injured?" It stands to reason that if he sat like this, it wouldn't hurt so much, unless Chen Yuan was injured.

"That's right, it's a very serious injury." Chen Yuan cried out repeatedly.

"Where is it hurt?" Li Ji frowned.

"Don't be angry with me anymore? You care about me now." Chen Yuan smiled and sat up straight. Seeing that Li Ji was about to change his face again, he hurriedly said, "My arm was almost broken by your subordinates. It's easy to be cold in this day." The wound hurts, I'm not lying."

Li Ji gritted his teeth, snorted, in disbelief.

Chen Yuan rolled his arm: "You can tell by looking at the wound."

Li Ji glanced at the big scar, his expression changed, after a long silence.Condensed into one sentence: "I'm sorry."

Chen Yuan put down his sleeves: "We are even, from now on, can you talk to me calmly?"

Li Ji didn't answer, like a sulking child.

Chen Yuan was helpless: "Actually, I really treat you as my own younger brother, and there is absolutely no hypocrisy in caring about you. Even if there is a reason for the dean, I really like you as a child during this period of getting along. Flesh, do you really still hate me to the bone?"

Li Ji raised his eyes, looked at him with a frown, did not speak, just sat on the side, and said quietly for a moment: "Mother Concubine is seriously ill, the cold palace is too scary, Mother Concubine is only me, and I am only Mother Concubine, I can't I watched my concubine die of illness, but the only way to find the imperial doctor was by climbing the wall, but I was too stupid, and I was about to reach the top of the wall, but I accidentally fell down, not only the imperial doctor was not found, but I also crippled myself And..." He stopped, lowered his head, tears welled up in his eyes: "Mother concubine died of illness, and after several days of death, someone came to collect the body..."

Li Ji cried, the tears fell down patter, and he couldn't help it, his head was lowered.

Although it was a bit unkind, Chen Yuan felt that Li Ji who was crying was like a child. He didn't go to comfort him, so he let him cry unrestrainedly for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ji gradually calmed down.

Chen Yuan handed over a few tissues.

Li Ji took it and waited until he finished wiping away his tears before noticing what was in his hands, and asked curiously: "What kind of paper is this, so white and so soft?

"Paper towel." Chen Yuan put one leg on the stool, with a bit of quackery, shaking the tissue in his hand: "It's specially prepared for you."

Just now Li Ji bowed his head and cried, Chen Yuan searched all over his body and found nothing to wipe away his tears, so the system dropped paper to the air.

Li Ji was stunned: "You did it too?"

"This," Chen Yuan coughed, "No, the dean gave it."

As soon as the dean was mentioned, Li Ji accepted the novelty of the paper, took the paper in Chen Yuan's hand and looked at it for a while: "If I can popularize this thing from top to bottom, it will be great if ordinary people can use such good paper." gone."

Chen Yuan was quite surprised, and smiled: "Then when you become emperor, it will become popular."

It was extremely taboo to say this, but Li Ji did not deny his ambition.

Chen Yuan didn't care either, which man had no ambitions, besides, Li Ji's character set was ambitious.

Knowing that this topic was inappropriate, Chen Yuan changed the subject, and asked about Li Ji's arms and feet, and asked if there was any possibility of recovery.

"It's too late to become disabled." Li Ji said bitterly: "It's impossible to recover."

In the novel, it is not specifically stated that Li Ji is crippled, let alone that it is inconvenient for him to lift one arm. So, does it mean that even if there is, it has been cured before ascending the throne.

Having this thought, Chen Yuan immediately said: "Don't be discouraged, maybe it can be cured, come on, stretch your foot over, let me have a look."
