Chapter 620 The Birthday Banquet of the Eldest Princess
Li Yi walked out of the Imperial Garden holding the brocade box and passed by Chang De and the middle-aged Taoist priest.
Taoist priests are not the focus of his attention now, monks are.
The monk was too rich, which made the old emperor very dissatisfied. The courtiers were rich, the dignitaries were rich, the monk was rich, but he, who should be the richest person in Jingguo, had no money, and no one would be balanced.
So the monk is in trouble.
These days, we need to build more Buddha statues, Guanyin statues and the like. The old emperor will not give up unless he scrapes out enough silver from the temples near Kyoto.
After all, I still have some friendship with the old monk Tanyin. I have to remind him that he wants to recruit believers and hold some kind of Dharma meeting to show off the glazed Guanyin statue. Take advantage of this period to do it quickly, otherwise in a few days, there will not be many glazed Guanyin statues.
I don’t even dare to say which temple I came from for fear of being embarrassed...
The most important thing at the moment is to deliver this thing in my arms to the eldest princess.
He could find the way to Chenlu Palace with his eyes closed, but he might just fall and hit the wall a few more times.
Today is the birthday party of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. As the leader of women in Kyoto today, her appeal is second only to the Empress. Naturally, she knows a lot of women from official and powerful families. Therefore, the morning dew shop is particularly busy today.
The swallows are thin and the ring is fat, the warblers and warblers are swallowing, and the joy and laughter inside can be heard outside the palace.
"I have seen Uncle Li." Yingying, the maid guarding the door, bowed.
"Xiaolan, is the princess inside?" They were all familiar faces. Li Yi handed the gift box to her and asked casually.
The maid smiled and said, "Here you are, Her Royal Highness the Princess is inside, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived."
"Sir, sir, you're here!" Tsundere Loli held Yongning's hand and ran over from inside, saying, "Sir, what gift did you bring to the imperial sister? I want to see it. I want to see it."
Li Yi slapped away her hand that was reaching for the gift box and said, "Don't make trouble, I have to look at it for a while."
The movement coming from the door immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
"That's County Uncle Li, who is as famous as Her Royal Highness the Princess and Crown Prince?"
"He is who he is. That time in the Yingcui Palace, Concubine Cui's personal maid framed Mrs. Li, and County Uncle Li didn't even give Concubine Cui face. That time I stood behind Mrs. Li..."
"He looks pretty good. My brother said that Uncle Li is very strict with students at the School of Mathematical Sciences. I don't think so..."
"I am the dean of the School of Calculation. Why should I be strict with the students? I think this is good. My incompetent brother has actually changed his temper after spending these days in the School of Calculation. I never liked him before.
Those who study now have to read until late at night every time they go home. They also say that if they fail to complete their homework, they will be punished by His Highness King Jin. How old is His Highness King Jin? How could he be frightened like that? I think it is because of Li County
Uncle..."
…
…
In the corner, Li Xuan, who was sitting alone at a table, raised his head and glanced at the door. After being stunned for a moment, he stood up and strode over as if he had seen a savior.
"Why did you come here?" She finally calmed down the tsundere loli, and when she took Yongning's hand and walked inside, she saw Li Xuan walking over.
"I was called by His Majesty just now."
Li Yi replied and was about to move forward. After a quick glance, he still didn't take the next step.
"The gift will be handed over to the princess in a moment. I have something else to do and will leave first."
He turned around without hesitation, but was grabbed by Li Xuan and dragged directly to a corner in the hall.
"You are a friend, so stay with me." Li Xuan poured a cup of tea and handed it over. If Li Yi left, he would be the only man left in the whole hall. This feeling is very eerie. He came
, at least I can share some for myself.
"How about leaving..."
Li Yi could feel countless eyes falling on him, naked and undisguised. He raised his head and glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He was really looking at it openly...
What does it mean to nod while looking at it...
Li Xuan curled his lips disdainfully and said: "If I leave now, doesn't it mean that I am afraid? I, the noble prince Li Xuan, have never seen anything before, how many women will I be afraid of?"
Li Yi glanced at him and pointed at his leg: "Aren't you afraid of why you are shaking?"
…
…
"Miss, miss, look who that is!"
At a certain table, the girl who was looking around the hall glanced at a certain corner, her expression suddenly became stunned, after wiping her eyes, she hurriedly pulled the pretty woman next to her and said.
The woman was talking quietly to someone. When she heard this, she turned back in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, look over there!" the girl pointed to a corner in the palace and said.
The woman looked over with doubtful eyes and saw a certain figure. The next moment, her expression suddenly changed: "It's him!"
Seeing her strange behavior, the older woman across from him was startled, glanced in that direction, and said, "What's wrong, Susu, do you know County Uncle Li and Prince Li Xuan?"
"Uncle Li?" The woman was startled when she heard the words. She didn't seem to have thought that that person turned out to be Uncle Li Yi, who was famous in Kyoto for a while.
"Yes, the one on the left is the famous Uncle Li." The older woman explained.
The woman's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Then next to Mr. Li..."
"That is Prince Ning, Li Xuan, who is also the president of the Academy of Sciences that is about to open."
"Prince Ning, Li Xuan..."
The woman gritted her teeth and struggled to spit out these words.
…
…
Li Xuan looked back in surprise, but found nothing unusual. He shook his head and said: "I am too lazy to take care of the Academy of Sciences. I will leave it to the people below. You are planning to leave a place for me in the Academy.
I think if you want to develop science, you must first learn arithmetic well... Hey, since you are lazy at home all day long, there is Xiaohan in the arithmetic academy, how about you help me run the academy of science?"
Too lazy to pay attention to this delusional guy, Li Mingzhu talked to a few people over there. When she was done, she said hello and left. When she came out, there was still soup simmering at home.
On the other side, the tsundere loli sneakily walked to the place where the gifts were piled, and whispered in a low voice: "I want to see what kind of gifts I brought to the emperor's sister."
She picked up the box, untied the ribbon, and carefully opened the lid.
The next moment, a ray of light flashed across her face.
The expression on the tsundere loli's little face froze, her mouth opened wide, and the gift box fell from her hand and fell to the ground.
A white palm stretched out from the side to hold the gift box. Li Mingzhu patted her head and said, "Be careful."
She took the glass statue out of the box and saw the very familiar face on the statue. After being stunned for a moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
As for the several women around them, they had already covered their mouths and exclaimed, staring at the statue in shock.
"Gudong..."
Li Xuan, who had just walked over from the side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head, and looked at Li Yi with bright eyes.
Li Yi thought for a while, took the gift box from the eldest princess, tied it up, and handed it to Li Xuan with both hands.
"Happy birthday!"
…
…
"Sir, I want it too!"
The tsundere loli hugged his leg and wouldn't let go.
In desperation, Li Yi took out two bracelets made of beads of different colors from his arms, gave one to her, and put one on Yongning's hand. However, Yongning's wrist was too thin, so the bracelet was placed on her hand.
, seems a bit too loose.
The beads used as bracelets are extremely small, and there are dozens of them on a string of bracelets. They are dazzling in the sun and are very eye-catching.
The tsundere loli raised her wrist proudly, and the sunlight passed through, leaving a swaying stream of light on the ground.
At a certain moment, Li Yi suddenly felt that something was not right in the surrounding atmosphere.
He glanced back and saw that the eyes of the women behind him were fixed on the statue in the hands of the eldest princess and the bracelet on the wrist of the tsundere loli. Finally, they focused on himself, and their breathing became heavier...
