"Have you heard of Tigger?" The proud girl paused and asked Yong Ning, who was standing beside Li Yi.
"Yes." Yong Ning nodded. "Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Yi Er. I've heard of them."
"I'm done …"
"You two teamed up to trick me." The proud girl walked angrily into the room.
"Royal sister, I didn't. I've really heard of them. If you don't believe me, I'll draw them for you." Yong Ning glanced at Li Yi and followed. It was very pitiful for her royal sister to not even know about Pretty Goat. Now, she had not even heard of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. To her, this was unimaginable.
Li Yi shook his head. She was done playing so soon. He still had a Howling Celestial Dog that could eat an elephant that he had not sent out.
…
…
Jingdou was under the feet of the Emperor. Any strange movement was under the court's watch and would never cause too much trouble.
The chaos in Jingdou caused by the Eldest Princess's incident did not last for long. Under the heavy pressure of the court, it gradually calmed in the following days.
In the Jingdou brothels, "Peacock Flies to the Southeast" was no longer heard of. On the market, it was also difficult to buy "Romance of the Western Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion," which had already been listed as banned. However, in a woman's boudoir that was difficult for outsiders to enter, there were a few thin books under her pillow and mattress. She would only read them in the quiet of the night. Sometimes her face would flush, and sometimes she would cry.
There were also ghost-like figures wandering around the streets and alleys. Their eyes darted everywhere, fearfully avoiding the officials. If they saw a young woman poking her head out on the street, they would carefully approach, pull open a slit in their clothes, and say in a low voice, "Girl, do you want the excellent edition of Romance of the Western Chamber, the Peony Pavilion? Ten copper coins a copy, honest with all ages … "
The Women's Union, which had made a lot of noise, did not make any big moves after His Majesty lifted the Eldest Princess's confinement. They only made a lot of efforts to help the court carry out the new policy of women's marriage. Not only did they get a lot of praise in the court, but their influence among women was also growing day by day.
The imperial court still did not give up on the investigation of John Doe. This kind of person who had ulterior motives and incited public opinion was really hateful. If they did not control him, he would probably cause more trouble in the future.
Of course, none of this had anything to do with Li Yi.
These days, he was quite idle. Her Highness the Eldest Princess was busy with other things. Naturally, the frequency of the tsundere Lolita leaving the palace could not be too frequent. Although this caused his super invincible Celestial Dog to not have a place to use it, every few days, he would go shopping with Ru Yi, listen to plays, and play with Yong Ning and Xiao Huan. His days were rather leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since Yong Ning left the palace.
"Whose child is that?" Zeng Zuimo asked Li Yi, looking at the little girl playing with Xiao Cui and Yu Zhu.
"A relative." Li Yi could only answer this way.
Even the Old Mistress almost couldn't control herself when she found out about Yong Ning's identity for the first time. The fewer people who knew about this, the better.
Moreover, for her, she preferred the life of an ordinary person at the moment.
These days, he would occasionally bring Yong Ning here. After all, the brothel was getting bigger and bigger. In addition to the capital, it had spread to countless states and counties. The speed of its expansion was astonishing.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, as the shopkeeper, as the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper, he naturally couldn't ignore everything. In fact, the interior of the brothel had been divided into various departments. Old Sun was only responsible for singing, acting, and the like. Wan Ruoqing mainly focused on the business under the brothel. Zeng Zuimo, as the chief designer and general manager of the new lingerie, decided what the women who walked in front of the trend wore and how they wore it.
In the details, Li Yi could no longer tell them what to do. As long as he could ensure that there were no mistakes in the general direction, he could let them do whatever they wanted.
Of course, today's brothel naturally had more than what was on the surface.
The complicated intelligence organization, the Liu Second Young Lady's Liu Alliance, and the Chivalry Ranking Board, which had a strong appeal, were all part of this huge organization. By then, that small shack had become so big that no one could ignore it.
Yong Ning walked over from afar and fed a piece of osmanthus cake to Li Yi. She said, "Brother, this osmanthus cake is so delicious. When we go back, let's bring some for Sister Ruyi, Sister Xiao Huan, and Sister Duanwu."
The old man standing behind her was already used to this. He wasn't surprised at how the princess called Li Yi.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Zeng Zuimo squatted down and picked Yong Ning up. She tapped on her nose and asked.
"My name is Li Xinyi." Yong Ning wasn't shy at all. She was no longer the silly princess who only stared at the sky.
She looked back at Li Yi and said, "Brother, I've seen this sister on TV before."
"Court … Court examination?" Zeng Zuimo was confused.
Li Yi didn't explain to Zeng Zuimo. Yong Ning was a child after all. Although he had warned her many times to be careful with what she said in the future and not to tell others what she knew before, a five-year-old girl would sometimes say whatever came to her mind. Even at home, there would often be such awkward scenes.
Ruyi and Xiao Huan were already used to this.
"TV means … Anyway, they are praising you for being beautiful." Li Yi thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. He looked at her and said, "Children speak without fear. Don't take it to heart."
Children's ability to distinguish was not very good. Perhaps they thought she was a character in a costume drama on TV.
Actually, after hearing what she said, Li Yi also felt that she was somewhat similar to a famous actress in costume dramas.
"Children speak without fear?" Zeng Zuimo was dazed for a moment before she understood what he meant. She gritted her teeth and looked at Li Yi coldly.
"Let's go. I'll take you out to play." Zeng Zuimo glared at him and walked out with Yong Ning in her arms.
The grey-robed elder flashed and was about to make a move when Li Yi tugged at his clothes and said, "It's fine."
Outside, Zeng Zuimo was already playing on the swing with Yong Ning. Li Yi held his chin with one hand. He still didn't see the underwear show he wanted to see, but he saw many pictures of the latest styles. Miss Zeng was Miss Zeng after all. She bought all the underwear of the women in the brothels in the capital. Although it was far from replacing the underwear, she had actually started the underwear business at the same time. The underwear shop had now become famous in the capital.
Until now, although the women in the brothel were the most buying, there were already some bold women who had begun to test the market, especially in the shop with slogans such as "It's good to be a woman!" Slogans such as "Even the birds and geese sink, and the moon and flowers blush in shame, all because I'm standing up for you" and "What's holding up isn't yourself, it's his heart" were sent out and circulated among the women.
When he took out these advertising slogans, because he looked at Miss Zeng a few more times, she threw a few pillows at him …
Of course, even if this kind of underwear was still a bit conservative, very few women would wear it. The pleasure of the couple in the bedroom was one thing, but most of them would secretly try it on at home. After all, no one wanted to lose some of the characteristics of a woman after a few years …
No matter what, this was for the sake of women. Li Yi drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat. Just as he was thinking about whether to use the Princess Royal's power to help with the publicity, he heard singing coming from outside.
Zeng Zuimo had been trained as a pillar since she was a child. She was proficient in the four arts, and naturally, her singing was also good. Li Yi had heard her sing a few times. Her foundation was very good.
However, which prostitute could sing "Don't Look at Me Just a Sheep"?
"Don't look at me just a sheep,
The green grass becomes more fragrant because of me,
The sky becomes bluer because of me,
The white clouds become softer because of me … "
The voice was crisp and beautiful, extremely pleasant to the ear.
Li Yi didn't have time to swallow a mouthful of tea and sprayed it all out.
