"We, Lao Li, can save you!"
"The old man made Prince Ning so angry that he almost died. The civil and military officials in the court were helpless and the emperor's grandson was heartbroken."
"Who is turning the tide at this time? It's me, Lao Li!"
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong couldn't help but dance.
"Old Li, Old Li, you have been smart all your life but you have been confused for a while. It doesn't matter if you don't have a real official position for the time being. With such a great contribution to the emperor's heart, why worry that the emperor's grandson will not promote him and use him in the future?"
"The slight setback at this time may be just that the Emperor and His Highness are trying to temper my character and not let me take credit and be arrogant. Have you forgotten the idiom of "keep a low profile and bide your time?" It's true that caring leads to chaos!"
After thinking about this, Li Jinglong became happy and threw several raisins into his mouth, laughing so hard that his eyes and eyebrows came together.
"Yes, keep a low profile and bide your time. I have just achieved a great success and it is time to be humble and cautious. I can't let others see me with my tail raised, and I can't let the grandson and the emperor think that I am unsafe. I estimate that the emperor and his highness will not be safe at this time.
I think so too. It's not that I won't be given an official position, but that I want to observe my words and deeds to see if I am proud of myself!"
"Hahaha!"
Li Jinglong felt so happy that he slapped the maid next to him on the thigh several times.
With a cry, the maid stood unsteadily and her face turned red.
"But it hurts from the pat?" Li Jinglong took the other person's hand, "Here, I'll rub it for you!" He said, looking for the buttons with his fingers nimbly, "Let me see if it's all red from the pat, ouch!"
The rocking chair squeaked, swayed, and cracked, unable to withstand the force and suddenly shattered.
"What the hell?" Li Jinglong stood up, rubbed his waist and cursed.
The maid hurriedly said, "Slave, please let someone come and fix it right now!"
"Wait a minute!" Li Jinglong looked at the rocking chair that was still rocking back and forth with only a shelf left, his eyes lit up, "Go and find the carpenter at home, quickly!"

After having half a day's leisure, by the small lake in the imperial garden, there were the father and son, the female concubines from the harem, Liu Jin and Xiao Fu'er, sitting together in a rare place, chatting comfortably.
In the clear lake water, red koi carp swim leisurely, showing their heads on the water from time to time, opening their mouths and spitting out a few bubbles.
"Fish! Fish!"
Pu Bucheng bent down and held the six-pound weight with his hands. He kicked his short legs and stretched out his little hands, shouting happily at the fish in the lake.
Xiao Fu'er was sitting quietly in her grandma's arms, smiling with her dimples exposed. Under her feet, a fat cat with its tail swaying kept raising its head and sniffing her little feet.
The old man was sitting on the wicker chair, watching with a smile, and giving instructions from time to time, "Hold the child, be careful! Keep the cat away, and don't catch our little girl out of temper!"
Zhu Yunxi made a cup of hot tea and brought it over with his own hands, "Grandpa Huang, use tea!"
The old man didn't even bother to touch him. He still looked at the two children and said with a smile, "The place is still too small. When the six pounds gets bigger, Huayuanzi won't be able to run away." He said with a smile, "This place is still too small."
It’s not much fun, it’s just a few broken fish in the lake. Come tomorrow, let people repair and expand it, and get some ponies here!”
"Grandpa Huang, don't spoil him!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "No matter how old he is, he won't be able to play like this all day long. He must study and read!"
"Well, you're right, studying is a business!" The old man nodded, "You should pay attention to the two rankings of Jinshi in the past few years and select a few with good moral character to enter the Hanlin Academy to educate our great-grandson in the future!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhu Yunxi and said, "It turns out that it's best not to use those people. Otherwise, the tails of two generations of imperial masters will reach the sky!"
"My grandson can save it, of course!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The current Ming Dynasty civil servant group, because he, the emperor's grandson, dares to challenge the Xungui Group, if he teaches Liujin again, he will probably not look down on the Xungui military ministers in the future.
"The martial arts school has recruited a new group of students!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Someday, when Grandpa Huang feels free, my grandson will accompany you to have a look. It is said that they are all soldiers who have military merits and are sent here from the border.
School Lieutenant. Those who graduated from martial arts last year were sent to various border areas and according to reports, they performed well. The martial artist is also the disciple of the emperor and the emperor’s grandfather showed up, which can be regarded as a favor to them!"
"There are also spring exercises in the Beijing Camp!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Four battalions of firearms soldiers and two battalions of cavalry have been newly trained. Chang Sheng said, I don't know how the training went, and I asked Grandpa Huang to review it!"
The old man didn't like to hear it, "You are in charge, you have to decide what to do! We are old, and when we get older, we won't get involved in these things!"
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea, looked at the flat land on the other side of the imperial garden, and said, "Hey, I'm not in good health, and the land is all barren!"
That open space was one-third of an acre left by the old man in the palace. In previous years, at this time, the old man would be busy working in the fields and planting crops with his own hands.
"Let's leave it alone. You are not in good health, so you can't suffer!"
Hearing this, the old man rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi and said, "It's a prodigal thing, it's a waste if you say it's a waste!" He said angrily, "You are unfilial. If you are filial, you should help us plant it."
As he said that, he looked at the fruits and snacks on the table, then at the flowers and plants in the imperial garden, and hummed, "These things are of no use. We are more happy than anything else when we look at the crops that are growing well!"
Zhu Yunxi, ""
The conscience of heaven and earth, he knows that the old man can't let go of that land. Yesterday, he asked for instructions, if his grandson would help you plant it, you can give some advice. The old man said at that time that the family, the country, and the world do not belong to this one-third of an acre.
You are supervising the country now and are busy with government affairs, so don't waste your time on such things.
Unexpectedly, today, the old man said just like this. He said that Zhu Yunxi was lazy and unwilling to plant! He also labeled him as unfilial!
After hearing this, Zhao Ning'er and Guo Huifei, who were waiting nearby, covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
At this time, Liu Jin suddenly shouted from the shore, "Ride a horse, ride a horse!"
The old man immediately sat up straight in his chair, "Where's our great-grandson's horse!"
"My slave is here!"
After the words fell, Wang Bashi, the manager of the East Palace, and Mei Liangliang, the manager of the Kunning Palace, were already kneeling at the feet of Liujin.
Liu Jin looked at the two of them, and finally climbed onto Mei Liang's back, shouting, "Drive!"
Seeing this scene, Zhu Yunxi frowned, looked back at Zhao Ning'er, and shook his head slightly.
Zhao Ning'er knew his painstaking efforts and could only smile bitterly in return.
The old man is here, who dares to take care of it!
"Your Highness pulled your slave's hair, and she started to run!" Mei Liang said with a flattering smile, and climbed up on the ground with her somewhat fat body.
"Drive! Drive!" Liu Jin waved his hands and shouted.
The old man laughed so hard that his eyebrows and beard trembled, "Look at our great-grandson, he rides this horse very well!" Then he continued to shout to the other side, "Pu Bucheng, follow behind, be careful, don't fall!"
At this time, a guard came over and announced, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Duke Cao Guo wants to see you!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Let him come in!"
A moment later, Li Jinglong came over holding something, sweating profusely, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness!"
"Get up!" the old man said with a smile, "What are you holding?"
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi had already seen the thing clearly. It was made of wood, and when placed on the ground it swayed back and forth with force, as if it was a wooden horse.
It is indeed a wooden horse, but there is no painting on the body. The horse head is very vivid.
"I gave His Highness King Wu a small gadget!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "There is none in the palace. It is a folk thing. It is a novelty for His Highness!"
There is really no such thing in the palace. Someone pretended to be a horse. Who made it out of wood?
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "You, the great Duke of the Ming Dynasty, have learned the craft of carpentry?" He said, walked over to take a look, "Ah, you made this thing quite shabby, just a few wooden shelves, even a little paint.
Not even brushed!"
"Don't dare to paint!" Li Jinglong said sternly, "The carpenter I called for said that the smell of paint is too strong, and I'm afraid it will smell to your Highness!" He said with a smile, "It's just a simple appearance. Your Highness is having a good time.
I’ll go back and let someone make one!”
This one was done in a hurry, so it is certainly not very beautiful.
Little Fu'er broke away from her grandma's arms, walked over slowly, leaned against Zhu Yunxi's legs, and looked up at the wooden horse curiously.
"Want to play?" Zhu Yunxi pinched Xiao Fu'er's pink face, "Come on, I'll carry you up!"
With that said, he picked up Xiao Fu'er and placed him on the wooden horse.
Then push it slightly, and the wooden horse shakes slightly.
"Giggle, giggle!" The little girl laughed like a silver bell on the wooden horse.
"Take off!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the pink and jade-carved little Fu'er, and his heart seemed to melt. He exerted force on his hands and the wooden horse shook faster.
"Giggle, giggle!" the little girl laughed with a cheerful voice.
"Wow!" At this time, Liu Jin came over swinging his short legs and howled at the top of his voice, "Horse, I, ride a horse!"
Seeing his son acting like this, Zhu Yunxi was furious.
"Go ahead! I'll play with you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man next to him became furious, "You go away! Why are you talking to our great-grandson!"
Zhu Yunxi, ""
The old man strode over and took Xiao Fu'er down, "Daughter, you can't play like this, it's too wild!" Then he laughed and picked up Liu Jin, "Here, Liu Jin, ride the big horse!"
"Hahaha!" Liujin laughed proudly, his little body rising and falling on the wooden horse, and he couldn't put it down.
Xiao Fu'er curled his lips and hugged Zhu Yunxi's thigh angrily, tears welling up in his eyes.
Children know everything!
Zhu Yunxi couldn't stand the old man's patriarchal behavior.
"Don't feel bad, I'll have someone make a better one for you later!" Zhu Yunxi said softly, rubbing Xiao Fu'er's head.
As he said that, he looked at Li Jinglong, "What are you looking at? Get another one. Two children, you get one, how do you divide them?"
Li Jinglong immediately woke up and said, "I obey the order!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.
