Like a flower, like jade, enchanting …
Like jade, enchanting … When Miss.Liu becomes enchanting, Li Yi will also be able to smile in the underworld.
Li Xuan's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he suddenly asked, "Do you think it's a good idea to let MIngzhu sit in that position?"
Li Yi peeled an apple, took a bite, put it aside, and picked up another one.
"Whether it's for you or for MIngzhu, it's the safest for her to sit in that position." Li Xuan looked at the pieces of apple skin he peeled and fell down in a spiral shape, and asked, "It's a good thing for any one of you, but what about the two of you?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean." Li Xuan looked at him meaningfully, and when the last piece of apple skin fell down, he stretched out his hand, and said, "Thank you."
Crack!
"I don't know." Li Yi took a bite of the apple, and with one in each hand, he got up and walked out of the pavilion.
Ruyi and the Crown Princess had already come down from the boat. The two little fellows seemed to be very interested in the water, so the two had to bring them onto the boat. With Ruyi around, there was no need to worry about safety.
The arrogant Lolita did not get on the boat this time. She trotted over and snatched an apple from Li Yi's hand. She did not care if he took a bite or not, and happily chewed on it.
"I don't care what you and MIngzhu think, and I don't care what's going on between the two of you." Li Xuan walked over from behind, holding an unpeeled apple in his hand. After taking a bite, he said, "Let's get through this first. Those fellows in the imperial court have been spoiled. It's time for them to calm down and think about it."
After hearing what he said, Li Yi found that he had to face a reality.
He had only seen Li Xuan a few times recently, but he was no longer the silly and adorable Li Xuan from before.
Could it be that he had learned this cleverness from Brother Shen?
However, this was also a good thing. At the very least, after he became smarter, he could save himself some trouble …
The tsundere Lolita raised her small face and asked, "Brother Xuan, what's going on with you and my royal sister?"
Li Yi patted her head and said, "He's talking nonsense. Don't listen to him."
As she watched Li Yi's figure disappear into the distance, the tsundere Lolita didn't follow him. She silently nibbled on an apple and muttered, "Sir, you're just brushing me off. Imperial Mother once said that if a man brushed you off and said no, then he really did …"
…
These days, the capital was in chaos, unprecedented chaos.
A clan with a hundred years of history like the Cui Clan had suddenly fallen, so how to deal with the Cui Clan was a huge problem.
How should the officials and nobles that were implicated because of the Cui Clan be dealt with?
The crimes of the thirty or so families from before had almost been proven, but the implications were too great, so no one dared to make a rash judgment.
The King of Shu had fled, Noble Consort Cui's position as Noble Consort had been taken away, and she was still waiting to be dealt with in the Cold Palace. His Majesty was seriously ill, and the officials had yet to discuss a plan …
Some of the envoys from the Qi Kingdom had already left the capital. Such a major event had happened in the Jing Kingdom, presumably, the other countries would soon receive the news. When that time came, there would probably be a lot of trouble.
The various reforms of the imperial court were still being carried out, and various yamen were constantly dealing with chores. Recently, there had been frequent handover of official positions, and it was difficult for the newly appointed officials to grasp the rules in a short period of time …
Prime Minister Qin was sick and had already taken a leave of absence for more than a month. There was no one to preside over the reform, and it couldn't be reversed or stopped …
Under such circumstances, the princes had entered the capital without being summoned. Although it was against the law, they were ostensibly visiting the Emperor, and no one could use this reason to expel them …
It would be fine if they behaved themselves in the capital, but these princes were each more anxious than the other. They kept on visiting the important officials in the imperial court, and it was obvious how desperate they were …
Of course, the most important thing was that the Eldest Princess was also sick and hadn't attended court for three days.
When Her Highness was around, although these things still existed, Her Highness would always be able to make proper arrangements for everything. Now that Her Highness was sick, the morning court session wasn't held, and the officials were without a leader. Chaos everywhere …
During these few days, all the officials from the three provinces, six ministries, and 24 departments were looking forward to it. When Her Highness was around, they didn't feel anything. Now that Her Highness had taken a leave of absence, the entire imperial court seemed to be in a mess …
In the Shangshu Province.
"This … this new policy was proposed by Her Highness. Now that the implementation has met with obstacles, it needs to be resolved immediately. What should we do? Lord Dong, you've been with the Princess for a long time. Please say something …"
Dong Wenyun shook his head and said, "My understanding of this is limited, and I don't dare to speak recklessly …"
Suddenly, someone slapped the table fiercely and said, "What is Prince Xin trying to do? The invitation has already been sent to the Shangshu Province. Is he that impatient?!"
"These are all small matters. How should we deal with the Cui clan's matter? His Majesty and the Princess haven't given us any information, so we can't make a rash decision …"
"Prime Minister Qin … Prime Minister Qin hasn't been here for a long time. This can't go on …"
"I wonder how Her Highness's condition is. When will she get better …"
"It's not good for us to inquire about such matters."
…
The complicated imperial court affairs caused countless officials to feel troubled, and the entire Shangshu Province was in a state of chaos.
"This is the Shangshu Province. What's with all the commotion?!" An elderly voice rang out from outside the door, and everyone's gazes quickly looked over.
"Prime Minister Qin."
"Prime Minister Qin, you're finally back!"
"Quick, quick, come in …"
…
Someone walked out quickly and helped Prime Minister Qin, who was holding onto a walking stick, into a chair.
Prime Minister Qin tapped his walking stick heavily on the ground and said with a disappointed expression, "All of you are the pillars of our Jing Kingdom, the pillars of the imperial court. The entire country's future depends on all of you. The Eldest Princess has only been away for a few days. Look at all of you. Look at all of you. Do all of you still look like officials of the imperial court?!"
Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Prime Minister Qin was right. They had already forgotten what it was like in the past. However, ever since the Eldest Princess took over the government, whenever they encountered any problems that they could not solve, they would just need to submit a report, and there would be a perfect solution very soon …
They were already used to such a life, going to the yamen every day. There were no headaches, and when they were in a good mood, they would go home and change into casual clothes. They could even go to the brothels to listen to plays …
It was naturally impossible for them to get used to returning to the days where they had a headache every day.
Prime Minister Qin coughed a few times before standing up. He looked at everyone and asked, "Look at all of you now. If Her Highness no longer takes over the government in the future, are you all going to continue being like this?"
Everyone looked even more ashamed.
Prime Minister Qin was right. Her Highness was only acting for a while. When the new emperor succeeded the throne, she would naturally leave the imperial court …
This was a fact that they had always ignored. After Prime Minister Qin's reminder, they finally realized something.
Her Highness would eventually leave. After Her Highness left, who would inherit the position?
One of those mediocre people who visited the ministers one by one in the capital?
Without Her Highness, what kind of life would they have in the future? It was enough to think about the past few days. Of course, this was only an ideal situation. If there were no accidents, it would be much more difficult than it was now.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
They had already gotten used to the previous way. They … could no longer easily turn back.
Why did they have to turn back? This was a question worthy of everyone's consideration.
Li Yi and Li Xuan didn't need to think about it.
After September, the weather would gradually become cold. It was better to sit down and eat a hot pot than to think about those messy things.
Miss.Liu and Princess Royal wanted to see who could cut the lamb thinner and taste better. Naturally, there needed to be a judge.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's been too hot these days. I can't taste it in my mouth."
"If you can't taste it, just say that you can't taste it. Don't make excuses." Li Xuan glanced at him and volunteered. He waved his hand, "I'm good at tasting dishes. I'll do it!"
Li Yi looked at him and decided to take back his evaluation of him a few days ago.
Li Xuan put the meat rolls they had cut into the pot. After tasting it, he already had an answer in his heart.
He nodded and said, "I think …"
Miss.Liu unsheathed Autumn Water and began to carefully wipe it.
Princess Royal looked into the distance and cracked her knuckles.
"I think …" Li Xuan blinked his eyes and began to sweat. He looked at Li Yi, who was quietly eating next to him. When he turned back, he shook his head with a serious face and said, "I'm sorry, I've also been too hot these days. I really can't taste it …"
