When he woke up, the sky was already bright.
His head hurt a little, and his mind was in a mess. He had a dream last night. The moment he woke up, he didn't know what he dreamed of, but he suddenly felt a little empty.
After sitting up from the bed, his face changed.
In his memory, he was drinking and chatting happily with Second Miss Liu under the moonlight. He closed his eyes and opened them again. How did he end up on the bed?
Could it be that last night, both of them were drunk, and then, and then …
Li Yi's face was a little pale. He looked down and found that the clothes from yesterday were still on his body, and Miss.Liu wasn't sleeping beside him. Only then did he feel relieved.
Fortunately, he was only drunk and didn't do anything reckless after getting drunk …
But why did his butt hurt so much?
Could it be that it wasn't him who did reckless things to Miss.Liu, but Miss.Liu did it to him …
Thinking of this, he had a terrible headache. He couldn't remember anything about what happened last night at all.
Xiao Huan walked in from outside and handed him a wet towel first. Then, she brought a cup of tea over and said, "Young master, you're awake. Have some tea to sober up."
Li Yi drank the tea in one breath and asked, "Where's Second Miss?"
"Practicing martial arts in the yard."
Li Yi got out of bed and only put on an outer shirt. When he walked out of the room, he saw Miss.Liu in white, doing Tai Chi leisurely. Her hair was tied up high, and she looked a little heroic.
Li Yi couldn't care less. He rubbed his butt and walked over. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What did you do to me last night?"
Miss.Liu didn't pay attention to him immediately. She finished a set of moves and slowly stopped. Then, she glanced at him and said, "You were drunk last night. When I sent you back to your room, you rolled off the bed many times."
"How do you know that I rolled off the bed many times?" The doubt on Li Yi's face didn't disappear. Even if she rolled off the bed, it was impossible that she only fell on her butt every time.
Second Miss Liu said lightly, "I stayed by your bedside for the whole night."
"You stayed by my bed all night?" Li Yi looked at her with his eyes wide open. "You watched me roll off the bed every time?"
"When you fell asleep last night, you called a name ninety-eight times."
"You're too …" Li Yi paused and looked at her and asked, "What?"
"When you fell asleep last night, you called a name ninety-eight times." Miss.Liu repeated again.
Trick, it was definitely a trick. Had she forgotten that he was the one who told her "Journey to the West"? She didn't even change the numbers. This trick was extremely insincere.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I slept alone last night. Maybe I'm not used to it. I probably mistook you for Ruyi."
Second Young Lady Liu nodded, agreeing with his answer. Then she said, "You asked Drunk Mo to call you eighty-four times."
"This …" Li Yi hesitated for a moment. He looked at her and asked, "You can understand, right?"
"I can understand." Miss.Liu nodded again and then crossed her arms. She asked again, "But you called 'MIngzhu' 88 times, 'Ruoqing' 96 times, 'Xiao Huan' 13 times, 'Shouning' twice … How do you want me to understand?"
The little servant girl stood at the back and was overjoyed. Although the young master only called her thirteen times in his dream, as long as she knew that the young master had her in his heart, it was fine even if it was just once …
Li Yi shook his head. This was obviously nonsense. It was impossible for him to do nothing the whole night and just call out these names. He relaxed and looked at her. Raising his eyebrows, he said, "Say, I said these names the whole night, and you just listened on the side for the whole night. How bored are you?"
Miss.Liu, of course, would not be bored to the point of staying by his bed and listening to him call these names. She just wanted to confirm that he finally said 'Ruyi' 521 times. Could it be that he was still thinking about the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that he gave her?
"I'm just joking. Don't be nervous …" She looked at Li Yi deeply, waved her hand and turned to leave.
"Who's nervous …" Li Yi stroked his chest. After washing up, he walked out of the door and murmured, "I feel like I've forgotten something …"
Oh yes, I remember. Dumplings. I woke up late and haven't eaten the dumplings.
When he walked out of the room, he saw the Old Mistress coming in from outside. After seeing him, a trace of surprise immediately appeared on her face. She asked, "Yi 'er, why are you still here?"
Li Yi was a little confused. It was the first day of the new year. Where else could he be?
"Why didn't you attend the Grand Court Conference?"
"Grand Court Conference?" Li Yi was stunned. After thinking for a while, he turned and asked Xiao Huan, "What's the date today?"
…
"Strange. What's wrong with this kid today? Why isn't he here yet?" In the main hall, Old General Xue leaned against a pillar and tilted his head to look. He said doubtfully.
The Grand Court Conference was a grand event that was only held once a year. Not only the local officials and nobles would come to the capital, but the officials and nobles of the capital would also definitely attend. It had been almost four hours since the Grand Court Conference started, but there was still no sign of him. Could it be that this kid did not intend to come today?
Old General Xue looked up. The Emperor was unwell, so the dragon throne was naturally empty. The Eldest Princess sat on the phoenix throne with a phoenix hairpin hanging on her head. When she looked at the officials who were reporting their work, she actually had a dignified air that did not lose to the Emperor …
In front of the hall.
A general who had taken off his armor bowed. "Your Highness, General Xu Dingyuan led 30,000 soldiers and fought against 50,000 Zhao soldiers in Suzhou. He won a great victory and captured the General Who Supports the Zhao Kingdom, Wu Yunkai. With the divine weapon of Tian Fa, he killed 5,000 enemies, captured more than 10,000 enemies, and seized three cities …"
The capital magistrate, Liu Dayou, stepped forward with a ceremonial tablet in his hand. "Your Highness, five prefectures in Gyeonggi and seven prefectures in Wannan have donated 5,320,000 taels of silver. They have all been returned to the treasury …"
After Liu Dayou left, an 11-year-old youth dressed in a golden python robe stepped forward. He cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the first batch of 105 students from the academy have already graduated before the new year. They are waiting for the Ministry of Personnel to make arrangements …"
The former capital magistrate, the current Left Minister, Dong Wenyun, said, "The autumn reform involves a total of six ministries and thirteen departments. More than half of it has been completed …"
The imperial physician, Liu Jimin, said, "After the improvement of the method of midwifery, the chances of a woman dying from dystocia have been greatly reduced … County Marquis Li's suturing technique has also made great contributions on the battlefield …"
…
…
Li Mingzhu calmly looked at the officials of the various departments reporting their work. Although four hours had passed, there was not the slightest impatience on her face.
Over the past year, too many changes had taken place in the Jing State, and from the words of the people below, she would always hear the same name.
She tilted her head and looked in a certain direction. There was no one in the seat that should not be empty.
When Li Yi walked into the palace, the long queue on both sides had gradually dispersed. Looking at the crowd walking out of the hall, he knew that there was no need for him to come.
A figure strode over from the front and pressed on his shoulder. He questioned, "The Imperial Court Conference has already ended. Why are you only here now? Since you didn't come, I had to let Prince Jin go in your place …"
"I'm not here to participate in the Imperial Court Conference …" Li Yi looked at Old General Xue and shook his head in confusion. He said, "I'm just taking a walk, just taking a walk …"
"Old Xue, see you later …"
He turned and walked in another direction. He raised his hand and waved at Old General Xue casually …
