Emperor Jing held the little girl in his arms, gently scratched her nose, and said, "Tell me, if you have anything to do with your father, we have agreed that you will not let your father hit you."
In the eyes of his courtiers and people, he was the emperor above all others, but in front of his children, he just wanted to be a good father.
"Oh, I have already forgiven you sir for the fight." The little girl twisted her body and said, "Shou Ning wants to eat hot pot."
"What is hot pot?" Emperor Jing was startled and asked with a trace of doubt on his face.
"Father doesn't know." The little girl was a little surprised. Her father knew everything in her heart. She had never thought that there were things that he didn't know. After being surprised, she waved her little hand and said:
"Then father, please help Shouning catch a bad guy and bring him into the palace."
When he lowered his head and saw the little girl's eyes rolling around, he knew that this might be her purpose. He felt a little funny in his heart and asked: "Tell Father, who is this bad guy who dares to offend our Shouning? Father will imprison him."
I'll go to jail to vent my anger on you."
"No, no, no!" The little girl shook her head like a rattle and said hurriedly: "Father, you can't put him in jail, otherwise no one will make delicious food for Shouning."
"Nonsense, didn't I tell you not to eat randomly outside? What does your imperial sister think of you? You are not allowed to leave the palace in the future." Emperor Jing frowned and said.
"I didn't eat randomly. I ate it at Brother Xuan's house. Sister Huang also ate it. Brother Xuan also ate it. Shouning was very obedient and didn't eat randomly outside." The little girl hurriedly explained: "Father captured him and brought him in."
In the palace, let him cook for Shouning, but not allow him to eat, make him angry, and let him snatch Shouning's meat to eat!"
"By the way, his name is Li Yi!" the little girl said vindictively.
"Li Yi?" Upon hearing this name, Emperor Jing smiled, rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Okay, how dare you offend our Shouning, my father will arrest him and bring him to the palace in two days.
I’ll just cook for you, okay?”
"Father, Shouning loves Shouning the most!" The little girl's pretty face showed a satisfied expression, and she couldn't wait for the scene in her imagination -
The old lady's sixtieth birthday is a rare event for the Li family. The house has already been decorated with lanterns and a huge lantern is hung every few steps, reflecting the Li family's house like daylight.
The servants of the Li family stood at the door, ushering in the guests who came to celebrate the old lady's birthday. When meeting distinguished guests, Li Mingze and Li Mingyuan would personally greet them.
Of course, Li Yi had nothing to do with welcoming guests. Within a few days after arriving, none of the guests knew each other. They sat far away and watched the guests coming and going with some boredom.
It was only today that I discovered why the Li family and the Duke of Yichao were so resistant to dealing with each other and were able to remain stable in the capital for so many years. In just one hour, two people sent by the Duke sent gifts, even though they were not there in person.
, but at least the attitude has been expressed.
As for other large and small families, there are countless others. I have long heard that the capital city is very deep and the relationship between the powerful families is complicated. A family with many years of inheritance will not be easily overthrown even if it has no successors.
of.
Little fat Li Yingcai rarely ate snacks without holding them. He hid in a deserted corner next to Li Yi, shaking his head and muttering words. He dismissed all the naughty children who came to play with him.
Liu Ruyi was not by Li Yi's side. She was the only one favored by the old lady. After she brought mahjong to Li's house, the ladies who had nothing to do all day went crazy.
The capital seemed to be a blessed place for Miss Liu Er. Today she won a pair of bracelets, and tomorrow she won a hairpin. If she didn't like it, she would give it to the maid sent by the old lady to serve her. In just a few days, she became Li
The master that the maids of the mansion would most like to follow.
I heard that through the hands of my sister-in-law, mahjong has begun to spread among the noble ladies in the capital. Taking advantage of this opportunity, several craftsmen in the Li family made a lot of money. Of course, compared with the money made by Miss Liu Er, it was just
It can only be regarded as drizzle.
Miss Liu Er didn't seem to be planning to go back at all now. Every day she was leisurely and leisurely, she received a lot of money. Li Yi was very anxious and told the old lady in two days that his vacation was over and it was time to set off back to Qing'an.
After all, no matter how young a county captain is, he is still an official. He gets a national salary, and it is not recommended to live on empty wages.
Not far away, Li Mingze just welcomed a person in, apologized twice, and left in a hurry.
The man in brocade clothes looked around. When his eyes glanced at a certain place, his expression was startled, and then he strode over.
"It's over, it's over, brother, I forgot again." The little fat man came over dejectedly and sat next to Li Yi, his round face turning into a bitter melon face.
Li Yi was helpless. Out of his humanitarian spirit, he helped the little fat man find a suitable poem and asked him to dedicate it to the old lady at the right time to make her happy. How could he have expected that he would recite four simple lines of the poem?
It took him a long time to memorize it, so he couldn't even memorize the poem for him. The next thing he had to do was to rely on himself.
"Otherwise, you should take out your treasured preserves." Li Yi suggested.
If you really can't memorize it by then, there are things you can take out so it won't be too embarrassing.
"No, if I memorize it for a while, I'm just a little bit close." The little fat man said unwillingly, and soon squatted in the corner next to him and muttered.
"It's really you!" A surprised voice came from the side. Li Yi turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking towards this side.
"Aren't you in Qing'an Mansion? Why did you come to the capital?" The man sat directly opposite Li Yi and said unexpectedly.
"Are you - the gentleman who stole the plaque?" The middle-aged man looked familiar. Li Yi thought about it briefly and recalled the other person's identity.
"What the hell are you stealing?" the middle-aged man said, patting the table.
"Taking something without reporting it is called stealing, isn't it?" Li Yi replied lightly, but in his mind he was recalling what Professor Feng and Magistrate Dong said to him that day. The other party was a high-ranking official in the capital, and he seemed to be the Minister of Civil Affairs.
There are two ministers in the Ministry, one of whom is Li Mingze, who is his second uncle, so the Master Yan in front of him should be the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that he came to attend the old lady's birthday party.
"Didn't I tell you when I picked it up?"
The minister spoke confidently, but Li Yi was speechless.
That is indeed not stealing, but robbing.
"Why are you at the Li family? Oh, by the way, your surname is also Li. Are you a distant relative of the Li family who came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday? That's not right. I haven't heard of any distant relatives of the Li family in Qing'an Mansion?
"The middle-aged man obviously didn't want to argue with Li Yi about whether he stole or robbed. He looked at him twice and asked with some confusion.
"Qing'an Mansion, Qing'an Mansion, your name is Li Yi -" After looking at Li Yi again, the middle-aged man suddenly woke up, with a look of surprise on his face.
