The commotion outside had nothing to do with Li Zexuan. It was rare for him to have a "Golden Week" holiday. If he didn't sleep in, how could he be worthy of Li Er's "painstaking efforts"?
Of course, if Li Er knew that his intentions would be misunderstood by Li Zexuan like this, he would definitely vomit blood.
He got up late in the morning.
After eating breakfast and resting for a while, Li Zexuan returned to his small courtyard and began to practice his swordsmanship. Yes, practicing swordsmanship, not practicing swordplay!
It had been a long time since he practiced his swordsmanship. When he suddenly picked up the Wind Chasing Sword, he actually felt a little awkward. Li Zexuan couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, "It's all Li Er's fault for forcing me to do things. My martial arts aptitude is so high, yet he wants me to be a teacher. It's simply a waste of talent.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Li Zexuan forced himself to practice the Nine Taixuan Swords a few times. Uh, it should only be five swords now. When the awkwardness disappeared, he put away the Wind Chasing Sword and took a deep breath.
"Young Master, the way you practiced your swordsmanship just now was really nice!"
Xiao Xi excitedly ran over and wiped Li Zexuan's sweat with a wet towel as she said happily.
"Yes, yes, it looked like a sword immortal!"
Xiao He was so excited that her face turned red. She also ran over and echoed.
Although Li Zexuan's swordsmanship had slightly declined compared to last month, this small gap could not be seen unless one was an expert. The two little girls were easily captivated by Li Zexuan's graceful movements when he was practicing his swordsmanship. Of course, it was also because Li Zexuan was handsome to begin with.
In any case, the worship and fanaticism in their eyes greatly satisfied Li Zexuan's vanity.
She should be considered as this young master's little fangirl! Li Zexuan was proud in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. He took the towel from Xiao Xi's hand and casually wiped himself. He looked at Xiao He and joked,
"Xiao He, do you know what a sword immortal looks like?"
Xiao He raised her chin proudly, shook her little head, and said, "Of course I know. The storyteller said it before! Three parts of the Sword Qi, chivalrous and gentle heart, a sword immortal banished to the world, valiant and formidable. Xiao He feels that these are all describing Young Master! "
"Haha, the little girl's mouth is so sweet today. Did you put honey on it? Let me have a taste! "
Li Zexuan laughed to his heart's content. He looked like he was about to pounce. Xiao He was so scared that she screamed and quickly ran away.
"Ah! Young Master, why are you like this? Xiao He doesn't want to talk to you anymore, humph! "
With that, she blushed and ran away.
"Haha! This little girl! "
Li Zexuan looked at the fleeing figure of Xiao He and shook his head with a smile. He had nothing to do at home, so it was quite interesting to tease a little maid.
"Hehe, Young Master, you're scaring Little He again!"
Xiao Xi covered her mouth and chuckled. After getting along with him for so long, she could tell what kind of temperament her Young Master had. Just now, it was obvious that he was deliberately teasing Xiao He. He didn't mean to take advantage of her at all.
"Hey!"
Li Zexuan passed the towel to Xiao Xi and changed the topic. He asked, "Where's Lan 'er? Did she go out to play again? "
"En, Young Miss went out early in the morning."
Xiao Xi replied.
Ever since Li Zexuan was conferred the title of nobility, the Li Family's status had also risen. They were considered a large family in Yongle Lane. Li Jingmo and his wife were not too worried about their daughter's safety. Adding on to the fact that Li Zexuan pampered her too much, Lan 'er had the chance to run out and play with her other friends.
This little girl had the support of the Strange Interest Pavilion and could always get a lot of new toys. Those brats in Yongle Lane were also happy to play with her. Now, this little girl had already become the big sister of the Yongle Lane. There were quite a lot of underlings who "hung around" with her.
"Hehe, this little girl is really carefree. But those little fellows over there must be having a hard time, right? Haha! "
Li Zexuan looked towards the direction of the Imperial College in the Northwest and laughed. He guessed that many students would curse him when they saw the perverted questions he gave!
"Young Master, who is having a hard time?"
Xiao Xi asked curiously.
Li Zexuan waved his hand and was about to explain when he saw San Bao running towards them. She shouted as she ran:
"Young Master, Young Master, the imperial edict is here! Old Master wants you to quickly go to the front yard to receive the edict! "
When Li Zexuan heard this, his head was full of question marks. Didn't he just receive an imperial edict yesterday? Why did it come again today? Could it be that Li Er felt that the punishment was not severe enough and wanted to mess with him again?
Although he was full of questions, it was useless to ask the two people in front of him. Li Zexuan quickly went to change his clothes. He always wore casual clothes when he practiced martial arts. If he went to receive the edict dressed like this, he might be picked on by others.
The official robes of the Tang Dynasty emphasized on yin, yang, and the five elements. Green, red, white, black, and yellow were the "five cardinal colors". They were green in the East, red in the South, white in the West, black in the North, and yellow in the center.
Yellow represented the center and also represented the foundation. The emperor's robes were yellow. The other officials' robes were also differentiated by colors and patterns. Purple robes of the third rank and above were worn with a gold fish pouch. Purple robes of the fifth rank and above were worn with a silver fish pouch. Green robes of the sixth rank and below were worn with no silver fish pouch.
Half an hour later, Li Zexuan wore a fifth rank robe and a silver fish pouch. Just like this, he came to the front yard.
When the eunuch saw that the main character had arrived, he did not waste any time and said, "Lord Li, receive the imperial edict." He then opened the imperial edict and began to read it out loud.
Different from the imperial edict before, the imperial edict today was much simpler. Li Zexuan listened for a while and understood. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Li Er was giving him a promotion! Are you kidding me? I was just criticized yesterday and I'm being promoted today? How can you do this?
But this Li Er was still a little stingy. For the sake of the Great Tang's education, Wang Chong had poured his heart and soul into it, working day and night, but he had only given him the post of Imperial Directorate, not a marquis. How stingy! Li Zexuan was a little dissatisfied with his current title. How can a Baron sound as domineering as a Marquis? It seems like I have to find a way to become a Marquis!
Li Zexuan's mind was spinning. When the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he pretended to be grateful and went to accept the edict. The old eunuch laughed and said, "County Li, you're really capable. You're already a Minister in the Imperial College at such a young age. You're really young and accomplished. It's rare to see someone like you in this world!"
Li Zexuan was a little disdainful. What's so good about being a Minister in the Imperial College? The name doesn't sound good. Minister in the Imperial College, Minister in the Imperial College, Minister in the Imperial College, Minister in the Imperial College, Minister in the Imperial College. How depressing! I don't want to be a Minister in the Imperial College! But he only dared to say this in his mind. If he really said it out loud, Li Er would kill him and his father would be furious. Didn't you see that Father Li was smiling like a chrysanthemum after hearing the imperial edict?
Li Zexuan pretended to be modest and said,
"You flatter me, Lord Chamberlain. Please come in and have some tea!"
At this time, Li Jingmo took a plate of gold leaves and quietly put it in the hands of the chamberlain. He smiled and said, "My son is right. Lord Chamberlain, please come in and have some tea with me!"
The old eunuch skillfully put away the gold and shook his head, "No, no, I have to go back to the palace to report!"
With that, he took his leave.
