Chapter 4 Return to Kunning Palace
"Empress, don't forget to remember a great contribution for me." Li Yi moved the bench away and did not forget to seek credit from Lu Li.
"Um."
After answering, Lu Li entered the hall. She had just wiped it halfway and had to continue to wipe it.
"Stop, I'll do it."
After taking the cloth scarf in Lu Li's hand, Li Yi said, "He really can't stand such a beauty suffering."
The cold and silent Zhaonanyuan has someone to talk to, which is a comfort to Li Yi and Lu Li.
The lunch was eaten here at Lu Li, and after all, it was the queen. Her food was better than Li Yi's, and it was so oily.
Half of each person, the taste is pretty good.
In the afternoon, looking at Lu Li sitting sideways by the small pond, using water as paper and wooden sticks as pens, Li Yi spit out the grass roots in his mouth.
"Is the Empress writing?"
"Well, Song Zongzi's collection of essays."
Song Zongzi? I don’t know him. The history of this place is completely different from that place he used to be.
There is a bit of a shadow of the Tang Dynasty in humanities, but the system is a bit like that of the Yuan Dynasty, and then the palace is inclined to the Ming Dynasty.
Like the Twelve Supervisors, Four Divisions, and Eight Bureaus, they are completely the eunuch system of the Ming Dynasty.
At first, when he heard the Zhidian Prison, Li Yi thought he had come to the Ming Dynasty, but when he asked, it was not, and there was no familiar name.
Originally, Li Yi could use the stock of Dangdang articles in his mind to copy the official, but he, a eunuch, did not have to make himself very high-profile.
"Can you read?" Lu Li turned her head and looked at Li Yi.
"It's probably not known." Li Yi said uncertainly. History is completely different, and the words he made at that time are not the same.
"Obviously?"
"It's a long story." Li Yi sighed lightly, "I ran into Concubine Rong and was punished to kneel on the snow for a long time. After a high fever, I woke up and forgot about the past."
"There should be a temple in the palace. I think I am very suitable to be a monk." Li Yi lying by the pool, saying lazily.
"Your temperament is not someone that Buddhism can afford."
Lu Li stopped writing, slowly opened her lips, and half of her face was bathed in the sun, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.
What made Li Yi amazed was that there was not even a single flaw on his white, tender and smooth skin.
"Do you want to read?"
After hearing Lu Li’s question, Li Yi sat up and said, “Empress is willing to teach, I will definitely learn seriously.”
In the quiet courtyard, the shadows of a man and a woman intertwined. The woman wrote on the ground while explaining gently while the man nodded frequently.
However, after a few days, Li Yi learned all the characters taught by Lu Li. It was not that he was talented, but that most of the characters in this place were the same as the traditional Chinese in his era.
It is natural that you don’t have much effort to learn.
Lu Li was slightly surprised. It seemed that Li Yi should have had some basics before.
In Ci'an Palace, the queen mother looked at the emperor and frowned, "How long do you want Lu Li to stay in Zhaonanyuan?"
"Mother, you have to ask her, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Those Confucian scholars rely on a few words to recognize and criticize me. Shouldn't they be killed?
Since Lu Li wants to protect them, I will not be able to do so. She stays in Zhaonanyuan for one day and I will not kill those people for a day."
"But as long as she admits her mistake, I will immediately let her leave Zhaonanyuan. I will give her all the honor that the queen should have.
But that woman just didn't know the truth." The emperor's eyes were filled with anger.
"I heard that there was another rebellion in Hedong. You should let her give birth to the prince as soon as possible to stabilize the country." The empress dowager advised.
"My mother, I have my own opinions." The emperor was filled with a sense of resentment, and he turned around and went out without taking back.
Since the founding of the Dagan Kingdom, I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or something. Any legitimate son who succeeded to the throne will have good luck, but if other princes succeeded to the throne, there will be constant natural disasters and man-made disasters.
The current emperor who is working hard is neither a legitimate nor a eldest, and can be said to be a bargain.
The original prince died of sudden illness the day before he ascended the throne. At that time, the border war was urgent, and the eldest prince who was leading troops outside could not withdraw at all.
This made the third prince get a bargain.
It’s strange that since the third prince came to power, there have been many strange things. There have been snow in June. In this situation, people can avoid talking about it, and they all point to the emperor abdicating.
But after ascending that position, who would retreat? The emperor had a gloomy and violent temperament, and now it was even more uncontrollable. The chopped heads could circle the palace.
In the end, I didn’t know where he was stimulated. I felt that these were all things that scholars picked out, and I had the idea of burning books and burying scholars.
If Lu Li and Chen Ming were not good at persuaded, the blood of those Confucian scholars could probably have washed Zijing City.
"It's snowing again. After this snowfall, it's about to begin spring."
Under the eaves of Zhaonanyuan Hall, Li Yi looked at the fluttering goose feathers and said.
Lu Li fiddled with the charcoal. Although Li Yi loved poverty, he was very reliable in doing things and had many ways. Zhaonanyuan had no charcoal, so he asked him to make it out.
"Do you know what white hair is?"
Seeing Lu Li come out, Li Yi looked at her and smiled. Without waiting for her to answer, he took her hand and walked out. The flying snow suddenly fell on the two of them.
"This is the white hair!" Li Yi grabbed the snow on the ground and sprinkled it at Lu Li.
"Li Yi!"
Looking at Li Yi who was running away, Lu Li chased after him with her skirt.
The two get along with each other every day and have a very close relationship. No matter how graceful and calm Lu Li is, she is just an 18-year-old girl after all.
Occasionally, Li Yi will force out the activity that a girl should have, such as now.
The two of them were sprinkling snow on each other, and their heads turned pale.
Time flies and two more months have passed. Looking at Lu Li, Li Yi really thinks this is pretty good.
However, there will never be real peace in the palace.
Under the pressure of the previous dynasty, the emperor compromised.
The imperial edict was sent to Zhaonanyuan, and Lu Li returned to Kunning Palace, the place she really deserved to stay.
"Everyone retreats and take my court ward." Lu Li looked outside with calm eyes.
Li Yi slowly walked out of the inner room, his face calmed down, and he heard all the imperial edict just now.
But what can he do? A humble eunuch can't do anything. Even if he doesn't want Lu Li to leave, what will he use to fight against the imperial power?
For the first time in his life, Li Yi had the desire to seize power. He took a fancy to Lu Li. He wanted to have a chance, a chance to get her.
"Li Yi, when you get outside, you have to learn to restrain yourself. You should not be so casual in front of outsiders."
Lu Li looked at Li Yi and spoke.
"A gentleman is dressed and his collar is always messed up. This habit is not good, so he has to change it."
Lu Li raised his hand to tidy up for Li Yi, smelling the faint fragrance on her body. Li Yi could hardly control himself, and he hugged Lu Li.
