The three hundred and fortieth chapters come one after another
"Master Tanyin's Dharma is so profound that even the Queen Mother praised him highly. You must never be disrespectful to him in the future." The old lady warned Li Yi.
The behavior of eminent monks cannot be judged by common sense. Master Tanyin is willing to condescend to be friends with his own children, which is a blessing to the Li family. You must not be proud of this, otherwise you may be stabbed in the back by all the believers.
Li Yi could only nod in agreement. The old lady said this a little late, and it was already disrespectful. What's more, Master Tanyin, who is profound in Buddhism, is not really averse to human beings. He eats, drinks, and poops just like ordinary people.
It's just that he has a brighter mind and can recite a few lines of sutras than ordinary people. He also has desires and requests. He promised that he has not finished copying the sutras, and the old monk will never care about any issues of respect or disrespect.
After all, it is not a bad thing to make friends with Master Tan Yin. All the guests are still here, and the old lady will not continue to bother about this matter. The necessary procedures have been completed, and it is time to use chopsticks to eat.
"Eat more food, look at how thin you are..." The old lady felt distressed and served food to Miss Liu Er who was sitting next to her. She was the only one in the entire Li family who had such an honor.
Apart from Ruyi, the whole place was full of elders, and the atmosphere was once very dull. It would be better to sit with the little fat man, it would be lively and free.
With only two bites of food on the plate in front of him, a steward of the Li family hurried over and whispered a few words in the ear of his second uncle Li Mingze.
"Prince Ning, did you send someone to congratulate the old lady on her birthday?" Li Mingze stood up from his seat with a surprised look on his face.
"Cough!" Li Yi almost spit out a sip of tea, but was choked. He turned around and kept coughing.
"What prince?" the old lady put down her chopsticks and asked.
Li Mingze's face was full of confusion and he said: "Prince Ning, the Gyeonggi Province Supervisor appointed by His Majesty just a few days ago sent people to celebrate his birthday."
Several guests at the next table moved their hands.
Prince Ning is the younger brother of the current Holy Emperor and the most powerful prince in Jingguo. His fiefdom is only in Qing'an Mansion, the capital city which is slightly inferior to Kyoto. This shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to him.
Prince Ning, Prince Ning, just married the legitimate daughter of the Wang family as his concubine a few days ago. The Wang family has lasted for hundreds of years and has survived many dynasties. It has a profound heritage and is one of the top wealthy families in the entire Jingguo. With such a background
His Royal Highness, the crown prince, would actually send someone to congratulate the old lady of the Li family on her birthday?
Could it be that the Li family also has a relationship with Prince Ning’s Mansion?
Everyone was speculating a lot, but they didn't know that the head of the Li family, Li Mingze, was also full of doubts and didn't dare to neglect, so he went out to greet him personally.
Several black lines appeared on Li Yi's forehead. What does Li Xuan want to do? Is it that the news of the old lady's birthday is not big enough?
The only good thing is that he didn't come in person, otherwise, after the birthday banquet, he doesn't know how many more "interrogations" he would have received.
The Crown Prince's Mansion sent a steward, which gave the Li family enough face. Many people were wondering about his identity, so he actually asked Li Mingze to greet him in person. When his attitude was obviously respectful, it came from the other side.
information.
"It's actually Prince Ning, how could this Li family..."
Although Prince Ning had just entered everyone's sight not long ago, the things related to him left a deep impression on everyone.
After marrying the legitimate daughter of the Wang family and serving as the inspector of Gyeonggi Province, he went to the capital to order Chen Yue to bend the law for personal gain and banished him to another state. Next, the Prince's Mansion sent people to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.
They thought they knew the Li family very well, but today they discovered that the Li family seems to be far more mysterious than they let on.
Before the guests from the Prince's Mansion were seated, the manager of the Li family came over in a daze and looked at Li Mingze with a dull expression.
"The head of the family, Yong, Princess Yongle, people from the princess's mansion..."
Snapped!
Li Mingze looked shocked, and countless chopsticks fell to the ground.
Princess Yongle, the only legitimate daughter of His Majesty and the Queen, Princess Jingguo, has been doted on since she was a child. She is the only princess who has not married and stayed in the palace after she became an adult. She is a true royal nobleman------this
Is it still the declining Li family in their impression?
I'm afraid that when the Li family was at its most glorious, they didn't have such a great reputation!
Li Yi put down his chopsticks and covered his face with both hands. He finally figured out what the strange smiles on the two people's faces meant when they parted.
Li Yi had mixed feelings in his heart. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that there was a way to solve the dilemma faced by the Li family and ensure that after Li Yi left, no one would dare to easily cause trouble for the Li family. Is this the method used?
The troubles of the Li family are much less. The prince and the princess sent congratulatory gifts to the old lady of the Li family on her birthday. This was an obvious signal to outsiders.
The Li family is protected by the prince and princess. Anyone who wants to touch the Li family must first consider whether they can afford to offend such a behemoth at the same time.
After the birthday banquet was over, the task of explaining to the whole family fell on him.
People from the Prince's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion both arrived, and even the old lady couldn't sit still. When did the Li family have friendship with them? Not only the guests were curious, but even the old lady was very curious. This was better than what Master Tanyin gave them.
The shock was even greater.
"You two, I don't know about the Crown Prince and the Princess..." The two people from the Prince's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion obviously had an appointment. Li Mingze looked at the two of them and was interrupted by a young man from the Princess' Mansion mid-sentence.
"We are just following orders. Your Highnesses have told us not to disturb the old lady's birthday banquet. Minister Li and the old lady don't need to pay attention to us."
The doubts and surprises in Li Mingze's heart were about to reach their peak.
Master Tanyin, Crown Prince Ning, and Princess Yongle, these three people who had no connection with the Li family, all showed up tonight, and acted surprisingly consistent. They just sent congratulatory gifts and told him not to care---
---How could he not care, which one of these people could the Li family afford to offend?
"Master Li, could you please take a moment to speak?" Just when Li Mingze was at a loss, the man from the Princess Mansion stepped forward and said to a young man behind the crowd.
"Yi'er?" Li Mingze looked back at Li Yi, then at the two people opposite him. After a brief moment of astonishment, a hint of understanding suddenly appeared on his face.
"Second uncle, grandma, let me leave first." Li Yi said awkwardly and walked towards a remote corner.
The stewards of the Prince's Mansion and the men of the Princess' Mansion all followed.
"Yi'er, there are still many things we don't know..." the old lady murmured as she looked at the backs of the three people leaving.
Seeing this scene, everything that happened tonight was explained.
Why did Master Tanyin, Prince Ning, and Princess Yongle, who had nothing to do with the Li family, appear at her birthday banquet? After all, she still knew too little about this grandson whom she had met for the first time in twenty years.
