"MIngzhu, MIngzhu …"
Li Xuan was not angry at being ignored at all. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face as he said, "MIngzhu is busy with state affairs and doesn't have time to come over."
Li Yi looked at Li Xuan. Two years had passed. Although his appearance and temperament had not changed much, the words he said were not like the Li Xuan he knew.
As the ruler of a country, he could stroll from the capital to Shuzhou, but he said that MIngzhu was busy with state affairs …
Was this something he could say as an emperor? Was this something a person could say?
Li Yi finally couldn't help but ask, "When did you become so shameless?"
"You flatter me …" Li Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I only learned half of your skills …"
Li Xuan was being overly modest. What 5%? It was at least 50%.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Did you say she was busy with state affairs or did she say it herself?"
Li Xuan glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "If you want to see her so much, why don't you go back to the capital to see her?"
This conversation could not continue. Li Yi turned around. If he had time to chat with Li Xuan, he might as well see if Shouning had grown taller and fatter. A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. After not seeing her for nearly two years, although she did not gain weight, she did grow a lot taller. Before, she could not reach his chin, but now she could reach his nose.
"Xiao Niang!"
Li Duan ran out of the room and threw himself into Shouning's arms with open arms.
Li Xuan looked at him and asked, "What did your Li Duan say just now?"
"Fragrant …" Li Yi thought about it and said, "Maybe he was talking about the fragrance on her body."
"Royal sister!"
She had just put Li Duan down when Yong Ning pounced on her.
Shouning had spent a long time with her. Other than Li Yi, she was the closest person to Yong Ning in this world.
Li Duan and Yong Ning walked around Shouning. Li Xuan looked around and asked, "Can't anyone see me?"
Yong Ning walked over with a red face and said softly, "Imperial Brother."
When Li Duan saw Li Xuan, he quickly ran over.
Li Xuan squatted down and smiled. "Duaner is still the best …"
Li Duan ran to Li Xuan's side, looked around, and asked in disappointment, "Xiao Rui didn't come?"
For an emperor to need to find a sense of presence like this, one couldn't say that no one would do it in the future, but Li Xuan was definitely the first.
This time, he could be considered to be making a private visit in disguise. In truth, it didn't matter whether he was in disguise or not. There was no difference in the capital without Li Xuan. Li Yi also didn't make a big fuss, only informing Chen Chong. In all of Shuzhou, there weren't many people who recognized him.
Although the shameless Li Xuan had left MIngzhu in the capital, and Li Yi was deeply resentful, Shouning had come here, so he had to celebrate. Li Xuan — he might as well bring him along.
In the back garden of the estate, Li Yi had just started a fire. The servants of the estate were moving the things needed for the picnic to the side.
Spring had just begun, and today's weather was not bad. The cold of spring had passed, and the sun was shining brightly. A picnic after a walk was just right.
Drunk Ink couldn't get close to the fire, so she chatted with Ruyi and Ruoqing on the lawn in the distance.
"This estate of yours is not bad …" Li Xuan looked at the garden. The green grass was like a carpet, and the fragrance of flowers assailed his nostrils. A dozen paces ahead, a clear stream flowed by, the sound of water babbling. In terms of size, only the Hibiscus Garden and Qujiang Manor in the capital could compare.
Li Yi didn't reply. After Li Xuan became emperor, this bad habit still hadn't changed.
Everything was good from other people's homes. In the past few years, he had stolen many good things from him. Fortunately, he couldn't move this garden. There was no point in being envious, and even if he liked it, it would be a waste …
When he started the fire, Shouning stood by his side, holding a fan in her hand, patiently fanning away the rising smoke.
She had really changed a lot. Other than the hug when they first met, there was no longer a trace of the arrogant princess.
Li Yi was a little happy, but also a little sad. She had finally grown from a little girl to a big girl. This was something that a girl had to experience in her life, and it was also a normal transformation. However, the pain experienced in the process of transformation was often heart-wrenching.
Miss.Liu was teaching Yangliuqing martial arts on the lawn in the distance. It was said that she had encountered a bottleneck, and if she could break through, she would enter a new level.
This made Li Yi feel a little depressed. His strength was already about the same as Yangliuqing's, and now she had to temporarily shake him off.
Her ultimate goal was Miss.Liu, MIngzhu, and the two positions at the top of the Heaven List. But now, not only could he not defeat the bare-breasted and bum Bai Su, he couldn't even defeat Miss.Liu's disciple. As for Ruyi himself, he was worried that he would succumb to her despotic power for the rest of his life.
Li Xuan looked into the distance. At a certain moment, he suddenly turned around and said, "Did you notice that your Second Miss is a little different from before …"
If even Li Xuan could see it, it meant that Ruyi had really changed a lot.
A few years ago, Li Yi didn't even dare to think that she could actually become so gentle and understanding …
Li Xuan moved closer to him and whispered, "Tell me honestly, have you secretly taken her down?"
"Take your sister …"
He couldn't take Li Xuan's sister for no reason, but he also couldn't let him be a hindrance here. He waved to Fang and said, "Show him your treasure."
Fang was suddenly shocked, "Why?"
Li Yi just wanted to send Li Xuan away, so he looked at him and said, "Don't be so stingy …"
Fang thought for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Here?"
"Of course, he's gone far away …" Li Yi said snappily.
Although that thing was small, it was very powerful. If one was not careful, it would hurt people. It was safer to go far away.
Fang thought for a moment, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "Come with me."
Li Xuan followed Fang to a tree in the distance. Seeing him start to untie his belt, he was shocked, "What are you trying to do?"
Something fell from Fang's body. Li Xuan looked at something on the ground and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Fang looked at the thing on the ground and seemed to understand something. He put on his belt and said proudly, "You haven't seen it before, right? This thing is called the Red Barbarian Cannon. Of course, this is a smaller version, but its power can't be underestimated …"
Fang picked up a copper tube and a pedestal-like thing and introduced it to Li Xuan.
"You won't understand even if I explain it to you like this …"
Li Xuan watched as Fang picked up a green brick from the corner and placed it on the ground. Then, he placed the strange thing called the "Red Barbarian Cannon" on the ground. After fiddling with it for a while, he took out a square box from his pocket.
He took out a small stick from the square box and used the tip of the stick to scratch the side of the square box.
Whoosh!
A ball of flame appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.
"What is this thing?"
Looking at Li Xuan's shocked expression, Fang was startled and smiled, "I forgot to tell you. This is called a match. You haven't seen it before, right?"
Li Xuan really hadn't seen it before.
He was the dignified Emperor of the Jing Kingdom and the President of the Academy of Sciences. Other than Li Yi, he could be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the Jing Kingdom …
But today, he was looked down upon. Not only that, he was looked down upon twice.
Just like how he despised those stubborn and rotten scholars, he was actually despised by Old Fang, who had never been educated.
He suddenly felt that this trip was worth it. Otherwise, he might have missed out on a lot of interesting things.
Seeing that Li Xuan kept looking at the match in his hand, Fang's mouth pulled into a smile. To be able to despise an Emperor made him feel a little accomplished.
Li Xuan looked at it and suddenly asked, "Is this real fire?"
"Of course it is real!" Fang said decisively.
Li Xuan stared at the match in his hand and asked, "Then why don't you feel any pain when your hand is burned?"
Li Yi was listening to Shouning talk about her and MIngzhu learning martial arts when he heard Fang's shout in the distance.
He glanced in that direction. Wasn't it just to show the power of the Mini Cannon to Li Xuan? Li Xuan wasn't shocked, so why was he shouting …
