Chapter 10 Visiting the Palace(1/2)

When I arrived at Ci'en Temple, I was disappointed with the literature and art. It was a small ruined temple, and most of the gold paint on the Buddha statues had fallen off. There was only an old monk and three young monks inside. They were actually poorer than Uncle Shuanzi, and their cassocks were in tatters.

Patch after patch cannot do it.

Literature and art really cannot connect the glorious Great Ci'en Temple in later generations with the dilapidated small temple today.

He sighed and gave all the copper coins he had to the abbot, as if he had formed a good relationship.

When I turned to leave, I suddenly heard a familiar child's voice: "Bad guy!"

Wenyi was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw a well-dressed little girl waving to him not far away.

Wenyi was so happy that he walked up and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Shu'er, are you running away with the two eldest brothers?

Why are you here?"

Shu'er blushed and quickly shook her head and said, "That's not true. Shu'er came to Chongji Temple with her aunt today to offer incense. My aunt was still worshiping Buddha, so I asked Uncle Qin to take me out to play.

Why are you, a bad guy, here?

Ci'en Temple is too small, dilapidated, and ineffective. If you want to offer incense, you should go to Chongji Temple."

Wenyi smiled and replied: "Sending incense depends on whether one is sincere and has nothing to do with the temple.

Besides, I’m just here for fun.”

Shu'er rolled her eyes and said coquettishly to Wenyi: "Bad guy, I want to drink milk tea..." Wen Yi was petrified in an instant. How can a girl who asks for milk tea when she meets him be so shameless?

He took out the gourd from behind and handed it to the little girl and said, "I didn't make milk tea today. Here are the tea leaves I brewed. Do you want to drink it?"

The little girl took the gourd with disappointment, opened the lid and smelled it. She smelled the aroma of green leaves. She tasted it carefully, her whole face wrinkled into a bun. She quickly returned the gourd to Wenyi, shook her head and said:

"It tastes terrible. I don't want it. Please make me milk tea quickly. I want to drink milk tea."

Wenyi spread his hands and said: "There is nothing here, how can I do it for you?

Wait until next time.”

The little girl was unhappy and put her hands on her hips and said, "Uncle Qin, catch him. I will make him make milk tea for me no matter what I do today!"

Wenyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Girl, don't be ridiculous, go find your aunt quickly, I have to go back too.

I promise to do it for you next time."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

The little girl said anxiously: "Uncle Qin, catch him quickly, look at him bullying me!"

Just when Qin Wu was in a dilemma, the little girl said: "My uncle knows him. Last time he said he would stay at his house for a few days. Just catch him quickly. It's okay."

Qin Wu thought about it. Since King Qin knew literature and art, the children's mischief should not be a big problem.

He hurriedly took a few steps to stop Wenyi and said: "Miss, I have offended you. I hope you will forgive me. I wonder if you are free to come and sit at your house today?"

I have nothing to do about literature and art. I just happened to go to the house of the famous emperor Li Shimin in history. Maybe I can find materials that are not on the market.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do today, so I'll take the liberty of disturbing you."

Wenyi followed Qin Wu to meet the little girl's aunt.

The little girl was so weird that she kept asking Wenyi what happened to Cinderella and whether she married the prince... Wenyi had a headache from being asked, so he had to continue telling her the story of Cinderella from last time, which made the little girl calm down.

.

They waited at the meeting place for about half an hour when they saw a young and beautiful woman in her twenties walking towards them with her maid.

Literary thought: This must be Queen Changsun, she is so beautiful! When the woman saw Qin Wu bringing back a boy who was more than ten years old, she asked strangely: "Who is Qin Wu?"

Wenyi saluted consciously and said: "My surname is Wen, my single name is Yi, and I am from Mei County. I met His Highness the King of Qin by chance on the way to Chang'an. Today I happened to meet the Fifth Uncle Qin, so I took the liberty to follow him, hoping to visit His Highness the King of Qin at his residence.

.”

After saying that, he gave the jade pendant given by King Qin to his eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson smiled and nodded and said, "What a good boy. In that case, let's go back now."

After saying that, he got into the car first.

The little girl followed in, and reluctantly glanced at Wenyi. Wenyi had just told her half of the story of the mermaid. She felt uncomfortable with the itching feeling that she couldn't finish the story, but she couldn't be rude in public, so she had no choice but to do it.

carriage.

When he got to the house, he must tell me ten stories as punishment! The little girl was very angry.

The King of Qin was busy with government affairs. When Wenyi arrived at the palace, he did not see the King of Qin, so he was not in a hurry, so he waited in the living room.

The eldest grandson said hello politely and went back to the backyard.

The little girl ran out of the backyard in a hurry, followed by a maid who was about the same age as her.

When he sees Wenyi, he says: "Bad guy, make me milk tea quickly and tell me a story!"

Wenyi touched her nose and said, "Miss Shu'er, I have a name. Can you please stop calling me a bad person? I'm a 100% good person.

If you call me a bad guy again, the milk truck and the story will be gone!"

The girl hesitated for a while, as if thinking whether the title was more important or the milk truck and the story. She raised her thin eyebrows and said, "Okay, I won't call you a bad person. You have to tell me ten stories, no, twenty."

, ten is the punishment for you, ten is the compensation for not calling you a bad person."

Wenyi said cheerfully: "Okay, I happen to be thirsty too. You go and prepare the ingredients for making milk tea. I will make it for you later."

I need hot water, tea leaves, milk, icing sugar, a tea set, and a big pot."

The little girl waved her hands and said to the maid next to her: "Milk tea, did you hear me? Go and prepare it quickly."

Wenyi almost lost his breath, pointed at the maid's leaving back and asked: "What did you call her?"

"Milk tea, she is a personal maid assigned to me by my uncle. I really liked it after drinking milk tea last time, so I named her 'milk tea'."

The little girl answered matter-of-factly.

Literature and Art observes three seconds of silence for this maid who follows an unreliable master.

There are no human rights in feudal society! He happily told stories to the little girl, from Grimm’s fairy tales to Andersen’s fairy tales, literature and art were told one by one. Anyway, there are many such books in Xiaomi, so he only had to follow the retelling played by Xiaomi.

.

The two of them played in the living room until the evening.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wenyi was about to stand up and leave, but Qin Wu said: "His Highness will be back soon. When I went to report, His Highness was dealing with urgent official documents, so he could not come back early. He asked me to tell my little brother that he will stay in the palace today.

There’s no need to go back.”

Wenyi nodded and agreed.

After a while, Li Shimin was seen hurriedly walking over in fine clothes. Wenyi quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met His Highness the King of Qin."

Li Shimin helped him up and said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, you are finally here, Shu'er has been talking about you for several days.

It is really rude of me to neglect you because I am busy with official duties. I have asked people to prepare a banquet. Let’s eat first.”

Wenyi said a few polite words and then went to the hall with Li Shimin. Several thick butter candles were lit in the hall, making the hall brightly lit. There were several tables and tables in the hall, and some of them were already occupied. Li Shimin

Xiang Wenyi introduced: "These are all counselors and generals of our Tiance Mansion. This is Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Xu Shiji, and Li Jing."

Wenyi bowed one by one, but he didn't understand how Li Shimin, who was just a 12-year-old child, could treat Li Shimin like a distinguished guest. It was really strange.

After the introduction was completed and everyone took their seats, Li Shimin said: "This little brother is called Wenyi, and I met him by chance the last time I went hunting.

He could tell from a token that I was the King of Qin, and even after knowing my identity, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were reasonable and well-founded.

I feel that he must be a great talent, so I will introduce him to everyone today, and ask all brothers to take more care of him in the future."

Literary Art humbly said: "Thank you, King Qin, for your appreciation. I am just a countryman. I am just ignorant and fearless."

King Qin laughed loudly and said: "Listen, the ignorant are fearless. Do you believe what I said now?"

Literary Art smiled bitterly, "It's so hard to pretend to be a fool. You are already low-key enough, but smart people still see your flaws."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Your Highness, how about letting me take a test on my little brother?"

King Qin nodded in agreement, and Fang Xuanling continued: "Xiaoyi, have you heard about the fairy plow?

Do you believe there are gods in this world?"

Wenyi smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "I believe that when it benefits the country and the people, there are gods, and when it harms the country and the people, there are no gods.

Immortals exist to help everyone in the world."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in unison, thinking that what this guy said was indeed good.

At this time, Du Ruhui asked again: "Then how do you explain what happened to Cheng Yaojin's son?

What he said is absolutely true, and there are witnesses and physical evidence.”

Wenyi said: "The eyes are the main organ for people to collect all kinds of information. Because of this, it is very simple for someone to deliberately create illusions to deceive the eyes.

But there is one thing that I can't figure out, which is why this person wants to spread the fairy plow through Mr. Cheng. It is such a thing that benefits the country and the people. Anyone who offers it is a great achievement. If you understand this, then this matter will not matter.

It’s hard to explain.”

Changsun Wuji continued: "Boy, you said it's easy to deceive your eyes?

How about you let me wait and open my eyes?"
