In just half a month, Yang Fu had changed a lot.
Every day, he would take the initiative to complete his homework. When he saw trash on the ground, he would bend over to pick it up and place it in the trash can. When it rained, he would help the people living on the street to collect the clothes that had not been collected in time. Helping the elderly cross the road was a common occurrence for him.
In fact, Li Yi did not have strict requirements for him. Compared with Li Han, Yang Fu's life was simply too happy.
He only needed to complete the homework that Old Wang gave him, and then do ten good deeds every day.
He needed to do ten good deeds every day to ensure that he would have food to eat the next day.
If he did ten good deeds, he would eat vegetables and rice. If he did not do ten good deeds, he could only choose to eat soil or tree bark.
Only by exceeding the minimum standards set by Li Yi could he have the right to eat meat.
Of course, he also had other choices. Eating tree bark in the village was an act of vandalism. Once he was caught by the law enforcement team, he would be grounded. Being grounded would give him steamed buns, which was better than eating tree bark and soil. However, Yang Fu had not thought of this yet.
Habit was a terrible thing. Whether he was willing or not, even if he pretended to do all these good deeds, as long as he could keep pretending, he would be worthy of the title of "Top Ten Young Men of Willow Village".
The name of the village, Li Yi, followed the name of Willow Village in Qing 'an Prefecture. It was also in the mountains, and they also had the blood of bandits. It would more or less make Ruyi and the others feel a little bit like home.
Yang Fu was the new "Top Ten Young Men of Willow Village". It was not easy to get this title. The children in the village were all full of energy, or maybe their parents were full of energy. To get this title, Yang Fu had to exceed or double the task that Li Yi gave him.
Whether he did it for King Jing's face or to not starve, at least on the surface, he was not as naughty as before.
Yang Fu did not know when his sense of superiority disappeared. He could play glass beads with Fat Tiger and the others, fan pictures, and compete on the mountain to see who could pee further …
Of course, he was usually the one who lost, especially in the last round. After the competition, he looked very sad, as if his self-esteem had suffered a great blow.
Yangliuqing and Prime Minister Wang noticed Yang Fu's change.
Elder Wang looked at Yang Fu, who was picking up the trash on the ground and throwing it into the trash can. He sighed and said, "I've been teaching for my entire life and nurturing people for my entire life, but I'm still not as thorough as a young man …"
Yangliuqing comforted him, "Even the 'Wen Gu' from the Qi Kingdom, who is well-versed in Confucian classics and has students all over the world, has lost to Uncle Master. Prime Minister, you don't have to worry too much …"
"…"
Her Royal Highness's way of comforting people was very unique. The old man surnamed Wang was stunned for a long time before he sighed and said, "Gyeong Of Silla knows everything and knows everything. It's a pity …"
Yangliuqing looked at him and asked doubtfully, "What's a pity?"
"Nothing much …"
As Yangliuqing walked towards Yang Fu, the old man looked in that direction and murmured, "It's a pity that he isn't willing to help King Jing …"
…
Li Yi had long passed the stage of being a good teacher. In other words, he had never been a good teacher.
What would happen if he taught an emperor? Would an emperor come looking for trouble with him?
Not all emperors in this world were as stupid as Li Xuan. Not all of them were so free that they would abandon their own families to help others rebel.
When he first came here, he could be fearless when he didn't even have enough to eat. But now, he couldn't.
Li Duan was only three years old now. The child in Zui Mo's belly hadn't been born yet. He and Ruoqing didn't have a child yet … The longer he stayed here, the more he was afraid of death. He would first consider the risk before doing anything. He wouldn't do anything that was difficult and dangerous without any benefits.
Although Ruyi didn't say it explicitly, they had been in cahoots for so long. They would always think of these things together.
What was the point of rebelling? It was better to hug Yong Ning and listen to her talk about her childhood than to rebel.
Yong Ning had told these things many times, and he had also heard them many times. Yong Ning never got tired of talking, and he never got tired of listening.
Two days ago, it rained and thundered at night. Yong Ning ran to him and Ruyi's room barefoot. Ruyi hugged her and coaxed her for a long time before she fell asleep. A few days before the weather cleared, she slept with Ruyi.
She looked up at Li Yi and murmured, "Brother, I miss Royal Sister. In the past, when there was thunder, it was Royal Sister who hugged me to sleep …"
Li Yi couldn't continue her words. He patted her head and said, "In the future, if you're afraid at night, go find Sister Ruyi or Sister Xiao Huan to sleep with you …"
"Mm." Yong Ning nodded and looked at Li Yi. "But, I still miss Royal Sister Shouning …"
Li Yi suddenly felt something cold at the tip of his nose. He looked up and saw snowflakes falling from the gray sky.
"It's snowing!"
Yong Ning jumped out of his arms with a happy expression on her face. She stretched out her arms and spun around in the courtyard.
Shu Province didn't have snow every year. Although it wasn't rare, almost everyone looked forward to the first snow every winter. This was also the cleanest snow of the entire winter.
In her previous life, Yong Ning was born in a province in the south, and it was only after she arrived here that she had seen snow. Although snow was no longer that rare to her, she was still very excited every time it snowed.
This snowfall was very heavy and fast. The ground was soon covered with a thin layer of snow. However, if she wanted to build a snowman and have a snowball fight, she would have to wait until tomorrow at the very least.
After this snowfall, the New Year was approaching. Time was about to enter the second year of Jingping.
The capital.
On the 23rd of the twelfth month, when Li Xuan walked out of his room, he discovered that a heavy snow had silently fallen last night. Hibiscus Garden's hair had turned white overnight.
Soon, it would be another year's court conference. However, as the Emperor, he wasn't that busy.
It was good to have MIngzhu in court. If he had to handle all these things alone, he would definitely be flustered. He wouldn't be able to attend to the matters of the Academy of Sciences.
However, it was impossible for MIngzhu to help him forever. Ever since she started to limit the number of memorials submitted by the various departments of the court and gradually reduced it. Now, it had become one every three days unless it was an emergency …
At that time, he knew that she would have to leave sooner or later.
He couldn't blame MIngzhu. In fact, he felt that he was a little selfish. If it wasn't for the restraints of the court, she might still be having fun with Li Yi …
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had really let her down.
In the morning, a thick layer of snow had fallen in Hibiscus Garden. There were guards patrolling the palace from morning till night. The ground had been trampled out of shape. It was a little disappointing.
He walked through the long corridor alone and headed in the direction of the imperial garden.
There were many imperial gardens in the capital. Besides the imperial palace, there were also Hibiscus Garden and Qujiang Garden. Comparatively speaking, Hibiscus Garden's garden was the largest and the most beautiful.
Everyone in the capital knew that the plum blossoms in Cold Mountain Temple were unique. Every year, countless people would go to see them. However, only a few people knew that the plum forest in Hibiscus Garden was not inferior to the plum blossoms in Cold Mountain Temple.
It was just that other than a few members of the imperial family, no one else could enjoy the scenery in the garden.
Leaving the first set of footprints in the snow-covered, spotless garden was something that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Li Xuan walked to the entrance of the garden. When he saw that there was already a line of footprints extending into the garden, he immediately felt depressed.
He walked into the plum forest and followed the footprints. When he saw the figure standing under the largest plum tree in the garden, the depression in his heart was swept away.
He slowly walked over and softly asked, "Why did you wake up so early?"
The girl was wearing a white robe. When she heard the voice, she turned her head and smiled. She said, "I woke up early. I couldn't sleep, so I got up and took a walk …"
Li Xuan looked up and saw a red ribbon tied to a plum tree branch. Shouning would come here every day to tie a red ribbon. Now, there were hundreds of red ribbons. From afar, the ribbons on the plum tree danced in the wind, adding some embellishment to the white world. It was the most unique scenery in this plum forest …
He looked at the girl's elegant smile and thought to himself, "What a heartless fellow. He actually made me wait for so long in the capital and didn't even know to come back …"
He only had a vague idea of what he had done to Shuzhou. He also heard that he had conquered the entire Land of Chaos. Such an interesting thing, but he couldn't participate in it personally …
He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "After the imperial court meeting, your sister and I plan to go to Shuzhou. Hmm, we are going to patrol incognito. Does Shouning want to go with us?"
The girl was startled. She suddenly raised her head and her face blushed. Her voice trembled as she said, "Shu, Shuzhou …"
Li Xuan nodded.
"I, I, I have to go back and ask Mother …" The girl's face instantly turned red and she quickly ran out of the garden.
She ran in such a hurry that she didn't pay attention to her feet and accidentally tripped.
Li Xuan hurriedly went forward to help her up. However, the girl had already gotten up on her own. She didn't even have time to brush off the snow on her body. She staggered and jogged outside …
When her figure completely disappeared, Li Xuan sighed and said leisurely, "It's time to do an incognito visit …"
