Yesterday, King Nobu's hands were disabled, and several official residences in Kyoto were smashed in front of everyone. This was already an extremely bad incident. Logically speaking, even if it would not have a major impact, it should still cause some disturbance, but today's incident The court hall was as peaceful as ever.
King Xin left Kyoto early in the morning. His old injuries have not healed yet, and he has suffered new injuries. He doesn't even have time to recuperate. This journey will probably be difficult and not very comfortable.
At the morning court, five officials resigned at the same time. His Majesty and the princess acquiesced. The courtiers knew what was going on and did not say anything. They all glanced at a figure standing in the front.
Li Yi rarely appeared in the court today because this should be his last time in court.
The status of the one-character king is already higher than that of the prime minister, and Prime Minister Shen and the new right prime minister Dong Wenyun also have to be ranked behind him.
After the morning court, he did not leave the palace, but waited in front of the Li Zheng Palace.
"when are we leaving?"
Li Mingzhu, who had taken off his court uniform, appeared behind him and walked over to stand side by side with him.
"tomorrow."
Li Yi replied, and there was another long silence between the two.
Li Mingzhu suddenly said: "I want to eat egg fried rice."
"Okay." Li Yi nodded and asked, "Should we go to the catering bureau or Chenlu Palace?"
Li Mingzhu thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Chenlu Palace."
…
Royal Palace, another palace.
The girl took a beaded flower in each hand, turned around and asked, "Mother, do you think this beaded flower looks better on me, or this one?"
The woman in palace clothes came over, sat down next to her, and asked: "Ning'er, you have your own clothes to wear, and your own jewelry to wear. If you wear the mother-in-law's clothes, what are you doing with the mother-in-law's beads and flowers?" ?”
"Because the mother-in-law is the most beautiful..." the girl murmured and said, "I want to be as beautiful as the mother-in-law, and even more beautiful than before..."
Concubine Yan touched her hair and asked softly: "Why does Ning'er want to become more beautiful?"
"Because the husband is leaving..." The girl's expression dropped, and she said with some reluctance: "I want the husband to remember my most beautiful appearance."
The woman in palace clothes held her in her arms, gently pressed her chin against her forehead, looked down at her, her eyes gradually softened, and whispered: "Our Ning'er has grown up..."
The girl's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her head and asked: "Really, my mother and concubine also think that I have grown up, and when I grow up, I can let Brother Xuan issue orders..."
"Although she has grown up, she is not old enough yet. It will take a few more years..." Concubine Yan touched her head lovingly and said, "Concubine, I will help you dress up. You will definitely make our Ning'er look beautiful." Beautiful and bright..."
Not long after, the girl held up the hem of her skirt and spun around in front of a huge full-length mirror, murmuring in disbelief: "Concubine, is this me?"
Concubine Yan lovingly helped her adjust the position of the beads on her head, and said: "Our Ning'er, the longer she grows, the more beautiful she becomes..."
She blushed slightly and said, "I'm going to find Mr. now..."
"Don't worry." Concubine Yan pulled her down, took her into her arms, and said, "Ning'er, do you still remember what Concubine Mother said to you?"
She thought for a while and said: "My mother-in-law said, "If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach." This sentence is wrong. If a man likes you, no matter how difficult it is for you to do it, Even if he eats it, he will say he likes it..."
"The mother-in-law also said that if a man says he doesn't have it in a perfunctory way, it means he really has it..."
"My mother-in-law also said..."
…
She clasped her fingers and counted one by one. She already understood some of what her mother-in-law said, but she still didn't understand some, and some didn't understand at all. She looked up at her mother-in-law.
The concubine asked: "Which sentence does the concubine refer to?"
Concubine Yan looked at her and asked: "Do you still remember what my mother said, for us women, what is the most important thing in life?"
She thought for a while and said: "My mother-in-law said that the most important thing for us women in this life is to find someone to rely on..."
Concubine Yan nodded, stroked her hair, and said, "Ning'er has grown up. In a few years, it will be time to get married..."
Her face turned red with embarrassment and she said, "I'm not in a hurry..."
"Ning'er, you have to remember that if you meet someone you like in the future, you should be brave enough to like her..." Concubine Yan's expression suddenly became serious, she looked at her and said, "But sometimes, you have to let him remember
You, just letting him see your most beautiful appearance is not enough. If you want him to remember you, you must first make him feel pain. If you want him to remember you forever, you must make him feel heartbroken..."
"If you want him to remember, you must first make him feel pain..." She looked at her mother-in-law in confusion and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Ning'er will know later." Concubine Yan touched her head and said, "Go ahead..."
…
Li Yi has always felt that Mingzhu is a dedicated person. She has eaten the same egg fried rice from Jinghe for one year to Jinghe for five years, and she has never been bored.
It's hard to find a man who is devoted to you, and a woman who is devoted to you is equally rare.
Li Yi was actually attracted by the way she was concentrating on eating egg fried rice. When she looked up, she looked away embarrassedly.
She finished her meal, put down her spoon, looked at him and said, "Remember to explain to Shouning."
Li Yi nodded and said, "I will explain it to her carefully."
Li Mingzhu suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Then how are you going to explain to me?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "If I don't leave Kyoto, he, the emperor, will not be stable."
Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "This is what you should explain to him."
"You can still handle these things well without me." Li Yi shook his head and said: "National affairs are important, but I hope that when everything settles down, you can think about yourself."
"I have already thought about it for myself." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "Remember what you said that day."
Li Yi thought for a while and asked, "What did I say to you when I was drunk that day?"
Li Mingzhu shook her head and said, "I will tell you when you come back."
"I will return."
"Not too long."
"It won't be long."
…
Li Yi turned around and left Chenlu Hall, and his wrist was suddenly held by her.
"For me..., can't you stay?" She lowered her head and whispered.
Li Yi turned around and was silent for a long time before raising his hand, helping her take off a rice grain from the corner of her mouth, and said: "Your identity is different now. Eat fried rice more slowly in the future, don't lose your manners..."
She looked up at Li Yi, shook her head, and said, "I won't eat fried rice anymore until you come back."
…
Walking out of Chenlu Hall, Li Yi felt a little heavy.
Just as she couldn't leave with him, he couldn't stay either. He yearned for the broader sky outside. This Kyoto was no more than a prison to him.
This should be the most correct choice.
But it is not the best choice. It is not good for Mingzhu and not good for Shouning.
Thinking of that innocent girl without a trace of impurity, he felt a little blocked in his heart. There were some things that he didn't want her to know. She would only think that this was a simple play. They had played enough and were tired.
Will come back, everything will be the same as before...
When Li Yi stopped in front of a certain palace, a crisp voice came from behind him.
"gentlemen."
He turned his head and saw the girl standing there - a woman.
There was a beaded flower on her head, which was different from the playful style of girls in the past, and revealed a kind of grace and stability that she had never seen before.
She was wearing a palace dress, which was not a girl's style, it was luxurious and dignified.
There was a touch of pink on her face, covering up the remaining youthfulness. Li Yi glanced at her, as if he had traveled through time, which was extremely unreal.
She looked at Li Yi who was stunned on the spot, with a slight smile on her face, and spoke again.
