Li Yi had always felt that two months was a long time, but in reality, it was just a blink of an eye.
It was already mid-September in the second year of Jinghe. If it wasn't for the fact that the old emperor had delayed Yongning's return to the palace by ten days, they would have left a few days ago.
The reason why it was them and not her was because in the past two months, the tsundere Lolita had used the excuse of visiting Yong Ning to visit them for two whole months.
The official reason for these two months was to treat Yongning's illness. Of course, this matter was still limited to a very small number of people. After all, for her safety, the old emperor wouldn't spread the news of the young princess leaving the palace. None of the court officials knew about this.
Although Li Yi knew that Yongning wasn't sick at all, it would be good for her to leave the palace for a few days. With a soul that didn't match this era, staying in the palace all day would probably cause her illness.
He didn't dare to make any excessive requests. In the future, he would take her out of the palace for half a course of treatment every month for three to five days. The old emperor wouldn't likely refuse.
In these two months, it took a lot of effort to finally make her understand what she could say and what she couldn't. Although most people treated her words as the nonsense of a child, when she grew up in a few years and was heard by someone with ulterior motives, there would be some trouble.
"Drunken Moon Restaurant, Drunken Moon Restaurant, I'm hungry. Let's go eat here." The proud Lolita didn't want to shop anymore. When they walked to a certain restaurant, she pulled on Li Yi's arm and kept shaking it.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you want to eat braised prawns today? We don't have it here."
"Um … Let's eat here first. We'll eat something else when we get back." The proud Lolita, who was good at accounting, would never suffer a loss. Although she said that she would eat a lot of delicious food when they got back, that was a matter for when they got back. It didn't conflict with what they ate now.
Li Yi looked at Yongning and saw her nod. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Then let's go in."
"I'll go buy something over there. You guys go in first." Ceng Zuimo said to them and took Xiao Cui to a shop in front of them. It was the Golden Jade Pavilion, a place that sold jewelry.
Yong Ning was sticking to him more than she was sticking to him, and this caused Li Yi to feel rather depressed. Could it be that young girls are naturally easier to get close to? Of course, he was only slightly depressed, and he hoped that Yong Ning would be able to find more sustenance here.
"Find a quiet room. It's best if it's near the window." Li Yi looked at him and said as soon as he walked in, a waiter came out to welcome him with a smile.
"Sir, have you made a reservation?" the waiter asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? Is it a full house today?" Li Yi looked around. Although it was mealtime, there weren't many people eating here. There shouldn't be no room.
"Sir, there is something you don't know. Guests that come to the Drunken Moon Inn must make a reservation in advance. This is the rule of the Drunken Moon Inn." The waiter patiently explained.
Li Yi looked at the old man behind him. This kind of thing should be a piece of cake for them.
The old man nodded and walked to the front.
Not long after, the waiter wiped the sweat on his forehead, and the smile on his face became even brighter. "Sir, please go upstairs."
Although he was just a small waiter in the Drunken Moon Inn, he had received many nobles on a daily basis, so he naturally had some experience. Although these people still didn't reveal their identity, the old man gave off a very scary feeling. The most important thing was that sign. In short, these people probably couldn't be easily offended.
Making a reservation in advance was the rule of the Drunken Moon Inn. Rules were made to be broken. Rules for ordinary people were not suitable for some people.
On the way upstairs, the grey-clothed old man frowned and asked, "Why not the Sky Room 1?"
The waiter wiped his cold sweat and said carefully, "Sir, unfortunately, the Sky Room 1 was booked by a group of nobles today …"
"Okay, okay, as long as there's food." People who came from the palace had a lot of problems. Li Yi waved his hand. This kind of mysterious sense of superiority, other than the palace, couldn't be cultivated in ordinary places.
When he passed by the so-called Sky Room 1, a waiter went in to serve the dishes. Li Yi casually glanced over and saw that there were quite a lot of people in the room. There was even a woman singing. She really knew how to enjoy herself …
He wasn't interested in the so-called "nobles" there, so he turned his gaze away and was led by the waiter to a room next door.
The standard of this Drunken Moon Inn was not low, even in the capital. The private room was extremely spacious, and even the surrounding walls were hung with paintings and calligraphy. Li Yi only needed to glance at them to know that the value of these things was not low.
Of course, the most representative of the standards was the price of the dishes here.
A plate of tofu for three taels of silver, a huge profit. This was no different from robbing people. Could it be that their tofu was colorful?
The price of this plate of tofu was enough to cover the annual expenses of a relatively well-off family. Not to mention ordinary people, without tens of thousands of taels of silver, they wouldn't even dare to order a plate of tofu here.
Only those rich people who wanted to show off their status, at least for Li Yi, although he wasn't short of money, he wouldn't waste it like this.
Of course, if the money was reimbursed by the palace, it would be a different story.
When the arrogant Lolita and Yong Ning were discussing what to eat, Li Yi took a sip of tea and thought about something else.
Since the academy was still under construction, it would take a long time. In the next period of time, he might be completely free, but he wouldn't be free for long, because the Hero Competition was about to begin …
Downstairs in the Drunken Moon Inn, Ceng Zuimo and Xiao Cui walked in. Xiao Cui pouted and said, "Bing Ning and Xinyi are leaving so soon, I'm a bit reluctant …"
Zeng Zuimo only smiled. She naturally liked the two innocent and cute girls. However, judging from their dressing and daily behavior, both of them had received orthodox education, especially the girl named Li Bing Ning. Her family background was most likely not low.
She had learned etiquette at home when she was a child, so she was a little more sensitive to these things.
What's more, a few days ago, the two little girls each gave her a bracelet, and the other gave her a hairpin. None of them were ordinary items, and they looked expensive. How could an ordinary person take them out?
Although she didn't know their specific identity, she could guess a little. How could the daughters of such a big family be fostered in someone else's house for a long time?
A few days ago, she ordered two bracelets from the Golden Jade Pavilion. In terms of value, it might not be comparable to the things they gave, but as a parting gift, it wouldn't look shabby.
Seeing that there were guests coming in, a waiter immediately went to greet them. Xiao Cui described a few words to them, and the waiter immediately stretched out his hand respectfully, "Two ladies, please go upstairs, the person you are looking for is in the second Sky room."
The two of them walked up the stairs, and at this moment, a young man walked out of the first room. When he saw the waiter walking toward him, he cursed, "Why haven't you served the two pots of Thousand Day Drunken Wine yet? Why are you wasting your time looking for them …"
Halfway through his words, he looked at the two girls behind the waiter, and his expression was slightly startled. A puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he scratched his head, as if he remembered something, and immediately exclaimed.
"It's you!"
