There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 187 is full of useless chapters.

The girl kept looking at Li Shuchen without answering, but Li Shuchen knew in his heart that she had agreed to the bet with him.

"Young lady, see you on the first day of the eleventh month."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he turned around, got into the carriage, and left.

October 23

On the other side of Weijing

"Your Majesty, we have intercepted two letters, one from Qingzhou and the other from Lieli Kingdom, both addressed to Li Shuchen."

"Let me see"

"Your Majesty, please look."

Reading the letter............

"Ha, the relationship between General Zhenshe and Li Shuchen is really good. He said some useless nonsense and even drew a picture of a bird in a cage. It's even more useless."

Princess Qingqing is the same; it's all useless nonsense. However, they do have a good relationship. You should send the letter back.”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Three Treasures Hall at night

Grape happily entered the doorway

"Miss, there are two letters from you, and a wooden box."

"But Yuying and Qingqing replied to my letter, let me see it quickly."

Li Shuchen hurriedly took the letter, opened the first one, and read:

"I hope Shuchen is well. It is as if I am seeing you in person upon reading this letter."

I've missed you terribly these past few days. How are you, Shuchen? Are you eating and drinking well? Are you unhappy? Have you been bullied? It's all my fault for not being able to be by your side to protect you all the time.

Don't eat cold food when it's cold. Ask Aunt Wang to heat up the fruit for you before eating it—whether you boil, steam, or roast it. Also, heat the grape wine and plum wine on the stove before drinking them. If you're unhappy, you can use a slingshot to shoot at the scarecrow to vent your frustration. If you've been bullied, you can ask Lao Ba and Lao Jiu to get revenge for you.

The weather is getting colder, so it's best to avoid going out in the freezing cold. If you must go out, be sure to bring a hand warmer and wear a cloak, otherwise you'll catch a cold and feel very uncomfortable.

Shu Chen, remember to listen to me, and don't be naughty or stubborn.

My wounds have completely healed, and I haven't sustained any new injuries during the battle, so Shu Chen doesn't need to worry.

Shu Chen is always very good at making money. He saves it up to buy you a house, and you must never leave it to me.

I am doing well, and I wish Shuchen, Ziying, and Changning all the best, and that they may also be safe and well.

—Liang Yuying

After looking at them, Li Shuchen felt the paper thickness was off, so he pinched it. Hmm? There's another sheet of paper.

"Miss, General Zhenshe even painted a picture for you?"

"Yes, it is indeed a painting."

In the painting, a plump white bird is safely eating its food in its cage.

This means that Yu Ying has safely received the supplies and told me not to worry, which puts my mind at ease.

After reading it, Li Shuchen's longing for Yuying grew even stronger; all he needed was for Yuying to be safe and sound.

Then open the second letter and begin reading.

"I hope Shuchen is well. It is as if I am seeing you in person upon reading this letter."

I have arrived safely in Lieli Kingdom. I have carefully examined the wooden box you gave me, and I have kept the contents safe. Shu Chen, there is no need to worry. I understand your foresight and wisdom. Qingqing thanks you, Shu Chen.

With the people of the Purple Star Dynasty living in peace and contentment, I am at ease.

I will eat properly and try to gain weight so I can be as round and cute as Shuchen.

I will also study hard, memorize what Shu Chen gave me, teach the people of Lieli Kingdom, and help them gain a firm foothold in Lieli Kingdom.

The letter arrived in Weijing just before winter, so I am sending you a blue fox fur cloak, a white fox fur cloak, a red fox fur cloak, and a black fox fur cloak.

This is dedicated to Shuchen, Ziying, Changning, and Yuying. May you all be well.

—Qingqing

After reading the letter, Li Shuchen put it away and said happily...

"Qingqing is so kind; she even gave us a fox fur cloak. Cloaks made in Lieli must be very nice."

"A fox fur cloak? Miss, please let Grape see the cloaks of the Kingdom of Lili!"

"it is good"

Li Shuchen eagerly opened the wooden box and began taking out cloaks.

"This black fox cloak is for Yu Ying, this red fox cloak is for Chang Ning, this white fox cloak is for Zi Ying, and this blue fox cloak..."

Li Shuchen reached out and took out the last blue fox fur cloak, shook it, and asked in confusion.

"Why is this cloak orange-yellow?"

Grape was also puzzled.

"Grape doesn't know either, shouldn't blue foxes have blue fur?"

Li Shuchen frowned. Could it be that Qingqing put it in the wrong place?

She didn't make a mistake; this is made of blue fox fur. However, the color of wild blue fox fur varies greatly, which is why it has this color, making it extremely rare.

After listening to Jixiang's explanation, Li Shuchen nodded in understanding, realizing that Jixiang's education was lacking. He then explained to Grape...

"Qingqing didn't make a mistake. I just remembered, blue fox fur has a significant mutation, which is why it's this color."

Grape smiled and said

"As expected of Miss, she knows everything."

Li Shuchen loved this cloak so much! She hugged it to her chest and rubbed her face against it. It was so beautiful even at night; how stunning would its luster be under the sunlight? She'd be so beautiful and rich wearing it! Hahahaha!

Li Shuchen admired the cloak for a while before putting it away in the wardrobe.

I'll invite Ziying and Changning to come and take a look tomorrow, so they can appreciate it.

The next day, Gu Ziying and Princess Changning both arrived at the Sanbao Hall as promised.

"You've arrived! Quickly, look at the cloaks Qingqing gave us!"

Gu Ziying asked

"A cloak made by Lie Liguo?"

"Yes, yes, it's so beautiful, I love it!"

Grape brought over the cloak, and Li Shuchen handed it to each of them.

"This white fox fur cloak is for Ziying, and this red fox fur cloak is for Changning. Try them on quickly, let me see."

Upon hearing this, the two began to put on their cloaks.

Gu Ziying touched the cloak and said happily.

"This white fox fur cloak has a natural, lustrous sheen, is soft, comfortable, and warm; it is truly a fine product."

When Li Shuchen saw Gu Ziying wearing the cloak, he couldn't help but admire her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ziying, you look so pure and holy in this cloak. It makes you look so gentle and ethereal. You can tell at a glance what elegance and grace are all about. Wearing it to a banquet or other occasion will definitely make you the envy of everyone."

Princess Changning looked at Gu Ziying and said...

"The white fox fur cloak suits Ziying very well. Li Shuchen, what do you think of me wearing this red fox fur cloak?"

Li Shuchen also praised

"Oh my, you look so radiant in this red fox fur cloak. It makes you look even more fair and beautiful. One look at you and you'll know what true elegance and grace are. You'll definitely be the most stunning person at any banquet if you wear this."

Princess Changning happily touched her cloak and said...

"Even though I own so many cloaks, this red fox cloak is the best quality one I have. Thank you for your trouble, Qingqing."

Li Shuchen nodded in reply.

"Yes, there are four cloaks in total. It must have taken a lot of effort, especially mine, as the color is quite unique."

Princess Changning urged

"Bring it here so we can see it!"

Grape, carrying Li Shuchen's cloak, walked up to the group.

Gu Ziying exclaimed in surprise

"It's orange-yellow? This color is only found in imperial tribute."

Princess Changning nodded.

"Yes, the Empress's aunt has a bright yellow cloak with blue fox fur, which was a tribute from the Kingdom of Lieli. Shu Chen's cloak is a darker color than the Empress's aunt's."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen's heart skipped a beat.

"Can I still wear it?"
