"Come here!"
Seeing Fang coming over from a distance, Li Yi said angrily with a sullen face.
Fang came over with a defeated look. Li Yi looked at him and said one word. Suddenly, he said in surprise, "You … what happened to your butt?"
Only then did he find that Fang's walking posture was a little strange, and his butt was more than a circle bigger than usual.
Fang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I accidentally fell when I was walking …"
Not to mention one fall, even ten falls or a hundred falls wouldn't have such an effect. Li Yi had a deep understanding of this, so he didn't expose him. He asked, "Why didn't you remind me when you saw it just now?"
Fang raised his head and looked at him in confusion. "What did you see?"
Li Yi raised his hand and pointed to his cheek. Fang suddenly realized and said, "I wanted to say it just now, but you said to talk about it later. I thought you did it on purpose …"
"On purpose what?"
Fang looked at him and said with reverence, "You deliberately annoyed the Second Miss. What do you call this? Loosening the reins in order to advance by retreating …? Leaving a woman's kiss mark on his face, giving the illusion that the son-in-law is with someone outside … Well, it's not an illusion. Anyway, it's deliberately provoking the Second Miss to make her feel a sense of crisis, so that she will become more active. Is that right? "
This was the conclusion he came to after thinking about it. He only felt that the son-in-law had reached an unfathomable realm that he was far from reaching.
Especially when the Second Miss saw that there was another woman's lip mark on his face, he felt that the son-in-law's realm was even deeper now that he could still stand here and talk to him.
Imagine if it was him who had a woman's lip mark on his face — it was simply unimaginable.
Fang looked at Li Yi, thought for a moment, and said, "However, this method can only be used once. If it is used too often, it will have the opposite effect. With Second Miss's temper, if she is provoked too much … You know, son-in-law."
"Also, when you come back from Miss Zeng's place, you'd better look at yourself in the mirror to see if there's anything messy on your face and neck. Sometimes, it's useless to look at yourself in the mirror because your body will smell fragrant. You should take a bath and change your clothes. Or, you might as well prepare a new set of clothes. You can change into them when you go there and change back when you come back. That way, there won't be any other smell … This is just a bit of experience. Young Master, please think about it yourself. I still have to go to the shops in the city.
Li Yi stared blankly at Fang's back as he left. He suddenly had a feeling that things remained the same, but people had changed.
The simple and honest voice and appearance were still there, but Old Third Fang was nowhere to be seen. From Qing 'an Prefecture to the capital, it had only been a little more than a year. Fang was no longer the Fang of the past.
Just now, Miss.Liu left without listening to his explanation, which made Li Yi even more perturbed.
The old Emperor was about to move out of the palace and live in Hibiscus Garden. At that time, the Eldest Princess would naturally leave the palace often. Hibiscus Garden was not far from here, so there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
What if Miss.Liu fought with her when they met?
At that time, who should he help? It was wrong to help anyone — it was useless to help anyone!
The main culprit of all this was the Eldest Princess, who had suddenly changed inexplicably.
If she wanted to apologize, then apologize properly. Why did she kiss her? She left after kissing her and said that nothing had happened. He was a dignified county marquis, the number one scholar of the Jing Kingdom, and Doctor Lu. Was he such a casual person? Was he someone who could casually accept a kiss from a woman?
The proud Lolita held Yong Ning's hand and jogged over from behind. She asked excitedly again, "Teacher, if Father really wants to leave the palace and live in Hibiscus Garden, can we not return to the palace in the future?"
Li Yi nodded. "If he doesn't agree, you can just act coquettishly. Isn't that enough?"
The proud Lolita blushed and hugged his arm. She twisted her body and said coquettishly, "Aiya, but, but I don't know how to act coquettishly …"
Hearing her voice, Li Yi felt his bones soften. He bent over and picked Yong Ning up. He frowned and said, "Why have you become so light recently? Did you not eat properly?"
The young girl shook her head violently and immediately said, "No, Yong Ning is very obedient. She eats properly every time!"
"Good girl …" Li Yi patted her head. "Good girl, do you want to give your brother a kiss?"
Yong Ning's little face was blushing as she pressed her lips against the side of his face. The proud Lolita bared her fangs and brandished her claws, shouting that Teacher could not be biased …
…
It was the first time in recent months that the morning court was held for two days in a row.
Before the morning court, many officials were wondering if His Majesty's body was fine. Was he going to return to the previous situation of the morning court?
Only a few people knew that after today's morning court, they would not have to come here for a long time.
The first thing that His Majesty announced was related to the flood control.
What was strange was that the matter that had been discussed by the court officials yesterday and had not come to a conclusion had already come to a conclusion today.
The imperial court sent another flood control official from the Imperial Navy. At the same time, four imperial physicians from the Imperial Physician Bureau accompanied him. They urgently transferred 300,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue and rushed to the disaster area.
In recent months, His Majesty was very generous. In the past, when he transferred money from the national treasury, he had to go through a series of procedures and it was extremely difficult. However, these days, the national treasury seemed to be full, and the allocation of funds was straightforward and decisive, which surprised many people.
The flood control did not give the officials time to discuss and passed quickly.
Next, a eunuch officially announced that Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang 'an County, had made great contributions to the country, had the talent to govern the country, and was conferred the title of Honorable Minister of Gold and Purple Ribbon …
Regarding this matter, His Majesty said yesterday that it would be discussed later, but today, he made a decision without discussing it.
Of course, the imperial court was in an uproar again, just like yesterday.
Not to mention the great contributions, Li Yi, the Marquis of Chang 'an County, had indeed made great contributions to the country, but to say that he had the talent to govern the country and the way to stabilize the country was pure nonsense.
How could a young man in his early twenties, who had never really entered the imperial court and had never put forward any meaningful political opinions, be qualified to receive the special honor that most civil officials could not pursue in their lifetime?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not appropriate!"
"This is a serious matter, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"How can Li Yi be qualified? Your Majesty, you must not spoil him too much …"
…
Seeing that many officials stood out, Emperor Jing gestured for them to calm down. After the imperial court quieted down, he looked in a certain direction and asked, "Minister Xu, what do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man came out of the crowd, and all the officials made way for him.
Lord Xu was a veteran of three dynasties and had been in politics for decades. He was devoted to the country and had a high prestige in the imperial court. Yesterday, he was the one who firmly opposed His Majesty's decision.
Many people suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that His Majesty had considered the opinions of these old officials.
They were insignificant, and His Majesty would not ignore Lord Xu's words, would he?
The people who stood out to oppose instantly felt that they had a backbone.
The old man walked out of the crowd and bowed, saying, "Although Marquis Li is young, he is a hero of his generation. Your Majesty, you have a discerning eye, and you have obtained the pillar of the country. I congratulate Your Majesty and the Jing Kingdom!"
The old man stood in front of the crowd, and the officials behind him who had firmly opposed this matter just now froze. Their eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement.
Had Lord Xu become muddle-headed?
Hadn't he firmly opposed this matter yesterday? It had only been a day, how could he change his opinion so completely?
What about your integrity as an old official of three dynasties?
This — this was not right!
