"Little Raccoon?"
Emperor Jing chewed and swallowed what the proud Lolita had stuffed into his mouth. He nodded and said, "The taste is good, but the name is too strange."
"Little Raccoon, it sounds nice."
The proud Lolita took out a small notebook from her bag, opened a few pages, and showed a picture to Emperor Jing. She said, "The teacher said this is the Little Raccoon. Isn't it cute?"
Emperor Jing pinched her face and said, "Our Shouning is the cutest."
The proud Lolita rolled her eyes and said, "Father, Shouning also wants to go to Hibiscus Garden at night. Father and mother are gone, and Shouning is bored alone in the palace."
Emperor Jing touched her head and said, "Go. Everyone will go tonight."
"Thank you, Father!" The proud Lolita took out a fresh pear from her bag and put it on the table. Then she ran out quickly.
Emperor Jing picked up the pear. His nails exerted a little force, and the juice overflowed. Although he was an emperor and had seen countless treasures, it was not until a few days ago that he saw such a fresh pear in winter.
Chang De stood behind and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that eating pears is good for your body. I will send someone out of the palace to tell County Uncle Li to send a few fresh pears to the palace every day. I will send someone to cook them for you."
Emperor Jing did not answer. He turned the pear in his hand over and over again and said, "How can he know everything? He can even do things that go against the natural order. I don't believe that anyone can be born with knowledge. I also don't believe that many powerful people in my Jing Kingdom line up at his door every winter, waiting for him to pick them up …"
"All the evidence shows that one and a half years ago, County Uncle Li was just a poor scholar in Li's Village. Although he was a child of Li's family, he had been mediocre in the past 20 years. At most, he could be regarded as a teenager with intelligence, until last June …"
Chang De said in a low voice, "Until last June, he was taken to Willow Village and married his current wife. He seemed to be a completely different person. First, he cured Princess Ning's stubborn disease with candied haws, and then he offered Divine Punishment and horseshoes. He was so talented in poetry that he deserved the title of the first scholar in the Jing Kingdom. He was so knowledgeable that he surpassed the Great Wenzong of the Qi Kingdom. He knew the art of war and medicine …"
Chang De recounted everything that had happened to Li Yi in the past one and a half years in one breath. Even a Grandmaster could not help but gasp for breath.
"According to the village head, County Uncle Li seemed to have changed into another person after suffering from hysteria. Could it be that all of this is because of hysteria?"
"So, it's a good thing that he suffered from hysteria?" Emperor Jing paused and asked, "Did you find out anything about Willow Village?"
"I have." Chang De nodded and said, "Before Emperor Gaozu founded the Jing Kingdom, Willow Village was once a bandit's nest. After Emperor Gaozu founded the country, he sent troops everywhere to suppress bandits in order to pacify the people. Willow Village became good at that time. For nearly a hundred years, it has been hiding in that small village."
"However, the bloodline of the Liu family has always enjoyed a prestigious reputation in the martial arts world. Every few decades, one of them will be born, and they will always stir up quite a storm in the martial arts world. Li Yi's wife, on the other hand, is a grandmaster expert who has hidden her strength …"
"Is that supreme master really so powerful?" Emperor Jing asked with a trace of doubt on his face.
Chang De nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the so-called supreme master is a respectful title for those who have reached the Advanced Level of martial arts in Wulin. They are extremely powerful. They come and go without a trace. Even the imperial court will be extremely troublesome if they provoke one."
Emperor Jing just asked casually about the supreme master in Wulin. The next moment, he changed the topic and said, "I will draft the decree in a while. Do as the old generals say."
Chang De nodded and knew that His Majesty sympathized with the old generals. Although it was appropriate for them to handle the military provisions, it was most appropriate for the imperial court to handle it directly.
He looked up at Emperor Jing and said, "There are still a few hours before the banquet. Your Majesty, go and have a rest first."
This time, His Majesty's illness lasted for a long time. He was sick for almost the whole winter.
It was not until the weather became warm in the past two days that his body began to gradually recover. However, he could not be too tired. He needed to be energetic before he could attend the banquet in Furong Garden.
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I feel much better today. These days, I have missed a lot of court affairs. Pick a few important memorials and send them over."
Chang De's face showed helplessness, but he could only whisper, "I will obey Your Majesty …"
…
…
"What? Send a basket of pears to the palace every day?" Li Yi looked at the two eunuchs standing in the yard and resisted the urge to kick them out.
He could accept the arrogant Lolita coming to eat a few from time to time. However, the old emperor wanted to kill them all. If they sent a basket of pears every day, they would have nothing to eat in two days.
"At most two!" Li Yi looked at them and said coldly.
"County Uncle Li, two. This, this servant can't report back!" One of the eunuchs showed a difficult expression and said, "Five, how about five?"
From one basket to five so quickly, these two idiots obviously did not know how to bargain. Li Yi glanced at them and said, "Two!"
"Let's each take a step back. Four, how about four?"
"Two and a half! I can't take any more! "
"This, this is what His Majesty wants. Half is too …"
…
…
In the end, the number of pears was three. Li Yi always felt that the original oral decree should not be a basket. The old emperor could not be so shameless. This kind of thing could be done by Chang. He should have taken a tougher attitude just now. Otherwise, he could have saved one and a half.
Soon, the two eunuchs were sent away. These insensible fellows were just combing Ruyi's hair. They were going to Hibiscus Garden to attend the banquet in the evening. The officials and dignitaries attending would also bring their families. As for the womenfolk, of course, the Empress would be the leader. This kind of super large party was only held twice a year.
Although he was not very interested in this kind of banquet, he could not refuse. Who dared not to give face to the old emperor?
"Husband, when did you learn to comb your hair?" Sitting in front of the dressing table, Ruyi looked at his reflection in the bronze mirror and asked.
"A few days ago, I used Xiao Huan to practice," Li Yi said casually.
Therefore, combing hair depended on talent and had nothing to do with gender. In this matter, he could completely crush Miss.Liu.
"Next time, next time, I think it's better to ask Xiao Huan to come." Ruyi hesitated for a moment and said, "If this kind of thing is spread out, the officials and dignitaries in the capital will laugh at you."
A dignified county uncle cooking in the daily, it was already unusual among the dignitaries in the capital. There was no other county uncle in the whole capital, or even the whole Jing Kingdom, who would comb a woman's hair.
"What's wrong with combing a wife's hair? This is a natural thing. Who dares to laugh at it?"
Li Yi curled his lips. He was least afraid of rumors. If anyone dared to laugh at it, tomorrow's front page of the capital newspaper would be about some dignitaries having an illicit relationship with a sow after getting drunk. Compared to this matter, a county uncle combing his wife's hair was nothing.
"Goodbye, son-in-law. Goodbye, Miss …"
Xiao Huan stood at the door and waved at the carriage that was going far away. Only when the carriage disappeared did she walk back in disappointment.
These days, son-in-law and Miss felt a little different. They often went out to play without her and Second Miss. In Second Miss's words, they were more … tired of each other …
