I didn't say it before because the plot hasn't arrived yet, and there's no point in saying it, but now it's almost time, it's time to fill in the hole.
In the past, if Pardes wanted to meet Li Sizhen, he always had to find a suitable reason to spend some time with his lover when he returned to the city.
How long he was with Li Sizhen is not a problem, the problem is that Pardes can't let others find out about his relationship with the unmarried viscountess, and once it is discovered, the matter will spread like a storm throughout the imperial capital, and even the entire Star Asia.
The speed at which people's rumors spread was so terrible, and the aristocracy attached great importance to fame, so that the couple in love did not dare to breathe openly.
This is also the result of Pardes' impulsiveness back then.
And just over a year ago, Li Sizhen suddenly asked Pardes to match him with Lu Hong.
Pardes was shocked, could it be that Li Sizhen couldn't stand such a secret meeting and changed her mind But it's not right, if she wants to change, she has already changed in the past ten years, how could she choose this time Pardes, who was much more sensible than he was then, did not run away from the door, but chose to ask why.
Later, she learned that Li Sizhen had met a person, and after she learned that person had the power to fade rumors from people's hearts, she asked for that person's help, hoping to eliminate all the rumors that were unfavorable to her in the imperial capital.
But the other party also put forward a condition, that is, the relics of Duke Lu Hong's deceased wife, as long as one of the small mirror boxes for makeup is given to him, Li Sizhen's wish can be realized.
As long as the remarks of the unmarried viscountess are eliminated from the imperial capital, she can marry into the royal palace and become a princess in the open.
Li Sijun will also regain the glory and status she deserves and become a noble princess.
In comparison, entering the Duke's palace and taking a small mirror box is nothing However, Lu Hong usually does not participate in the gatherings of the nobles, and the protection of the mansion is very strong, which makes Li Sizhen very annoyed, and finally the idea of marrying into the Duke's Mansion appeared.
That person has the ability to dilute the rumors, and naturally he can sit until the fact of marrying into the Duke's Palace is removed from people's hearts, and then let that person help by the way.
Pardes originally disagreed, why should the emperor's lover marry the duke he accepted, which is an international joke of the world But the hero is sad after all, and after Li Sizhen hints that she doesn't want to live, Pardes immediately coaxes.
It just so happened that Lu Hong still loved his deceased wife Miyu deeply and was not interested in other women at all, at least Pardes was not afraid that he would encounter a de facto cuckold, so he agreed to match this ostensible marriage.
In fact, Pardes also had the idea of asking for the mirror box directly from Lu Hong and directly achieving the goal.
But when it came to Meiyu's relics, Lu Hong exploded like a monster guarding the treasure, and even he, the emperor, couldn't say anything, and finally had no choice, so he told Lu Hong to let Li Sizhen marry into his family, so that he could bring people over every few days, so that he and Li Sizhen would have a lot of opportunities to get along.
The four dukes all knew that Pardes was like marrying Li Sizhen but couldn't make a move because of his words, so Lu Hong agreed to Pardes's idea, ostensibly being husband and wife, but in fact being the middleman between Pardes and Li Sizhen.
Won't Li Sizhen, who has a bad reputation, marrying Lu Hong affect Lu Hong's reputation?
How could it not Not to mention the duke, even the marquis, the earl, and the viscount would frown when they mentioned Li Sizhen, and they never thought of marrying an indecent woman to enter the door.
But Lu Hong is just a person who does his own thing and never cares about the reputation of the outside world, rarely participates in aristocratic gatherings, not to mention that he is also powerful.
The emperor will take care of the country, so many things can't be acted on emotionally, but Lu Hong won't, whoever dares to provoke him can get a big fireball as a reward on the spot.
On the day she married into the Duke's Palace, Li Sizhen found out that the mirror box was in Lu Li's hands, and because she couldn't get rid of the guests' entertainment, she asked Li Sijun to go to Lu Li's room to find the mirror box, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen later.
The four dukes all knew about Li Sizhen's relationship with Pardes, so that incident was quickly turned into a small matter, and even more so after Lu Li's innocence was proven.
"I've sent someone to secretly check the place you said, but there is no one there, and there is not even a trace of a human habit."
Pardes hugged Li Sizhen and said that when he learned where the man who claimed to have the power to fade rumors from people's hearts lived, he sent the shadow guard to investigate that night, but found nothing.
This made him a little skeptical that Li Sizhen had met a liar.
Li Sizhen also understood Pardes's concerns, so he explained: "That person also has a special magic, only those who really need it can see his magic, when he casts this magic, others can't see him, he wasn't there when I asked the servant to open the door, but I went in and saw in person, he himself was inside, it's really incredible" If you have such a strong strength, why do you want to use you to find something Pardes didn't ask this question, and he found that Li Sizhen firmly believed in that powerful person, and even had a hint of admiration.
He'd let the Shadow Guard continue his investigation, and if he could, he'd find the person and make the unfavorable rhetoric disappear at any other cost.
Pardes looked blankly at the drawer of the bedside table, where a black and white Christmas bell was placed.
The emperor is used to sitting in this position, and he has a hint of skepticism about everything, and Pardes does have some suspicions that Li Sizhen is hiding something.
But with the proof of the real bell, Li Sizhen is telling the truth.
At least she thinks it's all true.
Lu Li's side, after eating the twelfth plate of cake, Alyssa patted her belly without any change in appearance and sighed at the deliciousness of the cake, and even the wild boar beside her snorted, as if to say that the cabbage in front of it was the most delicious.
"I really can't see that your stomach is so powerful, are you really a child" Lu Li even began to suspect that Alyssa in front of him was actually several together, how could an ordinary girl eat three portions of cake in a row, but she ate twelve, tied for first place with Youyou, who had no bottom line.
But as soon as these words came out, Alyssa's eyes flashed, and she immediately stood up excitedly: "It's really worthy of the best friends of the two young ladies to see the real age of the people."
"That's right, although she looks like a girl who is less than ten years old, she is actually twenty years old, and she is a lady who is Tingting Yuli."
Alyssa made a gesture that she thought was very ladylike, but in the eyes of the people around her, this action was only immature.
And the first person is someone else, not me, which also fully proves that Alyssa is a girl who has not grown up yet.
In other words, no one believes that she is an adult lady, at most she is a little lady who is struggling to become an adult.
"Alyssa" x2 Two almost overlapping cries of surprise, and then Nana Green and Lily Green appeared at the same time and hugged Alyssa.
It was Lu Li who asked Kiki to wait for Nana and Lily outside the dungeon, and wait for them to come out after their training.
Isha, Alan, and Tjelia followed.
Isha thinks she lacks combat experience, so she has been training herself in the dungeon space for the past five days, much to Arthur's relief.
Lu Li's squad has arrived
