Outside the Announcing Peace Palace, the old eunuch named Changde looked at the imperial edict in his hand with a hint of doubt in his muddy old eyes.
It was really strange that a mere Secondary Class Eight County Lieutenant could be rewarded by the Emperor himself.
Soon, the doubt on his face disappeared. The Emperor's heart was hard to predict. He only needed to pass down the edict. As an official of the Emperor, he had served two generations of Emperors and was very clear about what he should do.
He looked back at the palace in the night and the old figure disappeared under the palace wall.
…
He didn't know if it was a psychological reason, but he didn't feel anything when he washed his face before. These days, he washed his hands with soap in the morning and felt much more refreshed.
Although the homemade soap looked a little ugly, it was very useful. Ever since he knew that Xiao Huan used this thing called "soap" to wash her face in the morning, the few pieces left for Fang and the others were all snatched up by the women in the village.
Fang didn't feel anything about it. He just got a basin of water in the morning and washed his face carelessly. Only women and the son-in-law would be so fussy. He only left one piece for his mother-in-law and gave the rest to the younger girls.
He heard from the son-in-law that he would make a soap with a fragrance in the future and call it Fragrant Soap … Fang didn't understand why the son-in-law was always fiddling with these things for women.
He was a man, but why didn't he have any manliness?
Standing in the courtyard early in the morning, waiting to go to the shop with Li Yi, Fang saw him rubbing the soap until his hands and face were covered with it. He accidentally dropped the soap on the stool. Fang shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh.
"Son-in-law."
Li Yi had just washed the soap off his hands when he suddenly heard Fang's voice.
"What's wrong?" Li Yi raised his head and looked at him.
"You dropped the soap."
Fang pointed at the soap that Li Yi had accidentally dropped and reminded him.
Clang!
The copper basin on the stool was also accidentally touched by Li Yi and fell to the ground, splashing the water on his face.
…
In the shop, the four girls could already take charge of the shop. Li Yi was happy to be free. If he wanted to go to the shop, he would. If he did not want to go, he would stay in the stockade village. He would tell stories to Xiao Huan, talk with Ruyi about life's ideals, practice martial arts when the weather was good, and fantasize about when he could fly in the sky like Miss.Liu …
Li Xuan would occasionally go to the shop to voice out his doubts. There were many problems that were difficult to explain to him according to the current scientific understanding. Li Yi could only subtly instill some thinking methods, such as deduction, induction, analogy, and so on. He had already given him the stepping stone. As for whether he could break the door of science with this brick, it still depended on his luck.
In the meantime, Li Xuan also had Li Yi draw a painting for him. More accurately, it was for wang fei. Wang fei's birthday was approaching, and what gift to give was a problem. Ning Wang Fu didn't lack anything. Li Xuan had wracked his brains for this matter.
Gift calligraphy and paintings? Mother didn't like it.
Give jewelry? Would the dignified wang fei lack jewelry?
Rare treasures? That would have to be something.
After thinking for a long time, the Crown Prince decided to find another way.
The painting that Li Yi had drawn for him last time, he had shown it to wang fei like it was a treasure. At that time, mother seemed to be very interested in the painting. If he could also draw a painting for her, he might be able to create a surprise.
Since it was a surprise, he couldn't draw it in front of her. It didn't seem good to bring Li Yi to the wang fu to peep at his mother. He could only pick a painting from the wang fei's previous paintings and let Li Yi compare it to the painting.
This was not difficult for Li Yi. The paintings and paintings in this world were the same as other books. He could copy them into his consciousness and draw them out without any mistakes. All he had to do was use some three-dimensional painting techniques.
Li Xuan's idea wasn't bad. There wasn't a woman who didn't want to keep her youth. Wang Fei wasn't young, but she wasn't even forty yet. Adding on the fact that she took good care of herself, she only looked to be in her early thirties. If she and Ning Wang worked hard, she might be able to give Li Xuan another younger brother or sister.
Speaking of wang fei's birthday, when Li Xuan invited him last time, Li Yi had agreed because he thought that he could give her a few bottles of Ruyi dew. Perhaps it could be promoted in the upper class circles of Qing An Fu. However, he didn't think that Ruyi dew would already be popular before this. There was no need to do anything else. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have agreed so easily.
After all, he didn't belong to that circle. Other than Li Xuan, he didn't know anyone else. It would be awkward to go. In his opinion, lying in the yard and sunbathing was more interesting than attending the birthday …
…
Ten taels of silver for a painting. Li Xuan was an old customer, so he could get a nine percent discount. After rounding it up, it was exactly ten taels of silver.
As a son, it was not enough to just give her a painting. However, other than a painting, what else could he give her? Thinking about it, Li Xuan's head hurt. After going one round, it came back to Li Yi.
"Are we friends?" Li Xuan looked at Li Yi, his eyes burning.
"I'm just a commoner. How dare I call myself friends with Your Highness?"
Looking at his eyes, Li Yi's heart became a little vigilant. Yesterday, he gave him a bar of soap. Did he misunderstand something?
One sentence interrupted Li Xuan's thoughts. He didn't know what to say next.
"I've always thought of you as a friend." Li Xuan looked at him and said bitterly, "To be honest, since the first day we met, have I ever put on airs in front of you?"
The sudden confession made Li Yi have goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly made a pause gesture and said, "Okay, leave it to me. Don't look at me like that!"
After Li Xuan achieved his goal, he left with a satisfied face. He didn't have to worry about anything if he handed this matter to Li Yi.
Encountering such a fraud, Li Yi could only shake his head and sigh that he didn't make friends carefully.
In comparison, MIngzhu was more reliable. She could get a free security guard just by freeloading a few meals and a few glasses of wine. It was so cost-effective.
The only thing that made Li Yi a little strange was that in the past two days, he always felt that MIngzhu sometimes looked at him with a strange expression. Thinking about it later, he always felt that something was not quite right …
