"The King of Shu invites a banquet?" Li Mingzhu hesitated for a moment before saying: "Since I was young, I have not had much contact with the King of Shu, but he always likes to make friends. The Palace of the King of Shu will hold a banquet every few days. Now you can be regarded as a member of the rich and powerful in the capital, and you are about the same age as him, so it is normal to receive an invitation."
"No way, you don't know him very well?" Li Yi was a little surprised.
Although the old emperor has countless concubines, most of the princes and princesses are half-brothers, but no matter what, they are brothers and sisters with the same blood. Even if they are not siblings of the same mother, they will have some feelings.
Could it be that my own thinking has always been wrong
After thinking about it, it seems normal. The princess is fine, but all the princes may inherit the supreme position after the old emperor dies.
However, there is only one throne, and it depends on who will win the throne in the end.
A good prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. Between princes and princes, for the sake of the throne, it's fine not to fight, kill, or force each other, but it's not easy to see touching brotherhood.
But with Li Mingzhu's personality, it is unlikely that he has a few close brothers and sisters. He and Li Xuan have been friends since they were young. Princes of the same age may have been beaten by her when they were young.
Li Mingzhu thought for a while and said, "Since he invited you, if there is nothing important, it's fine to go."
Even after she said that, Li Yi asked in surprise: "Is it really possible for the King of Shu to become the crown prince?"
"No one knows what Royal Father thinks." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "But judging from the current situation, King Shu's hope is the greatest, aside from these things, you don't want to lose face as a prince. "
Li Mingzhu obviously has no prejudice against the King of Shu, at least it shows that he does not appear to be a villainous person on the surface, and Li Yi already has a bottom line in his heart.
When passing by the meal bureau, he habitually glanced at a certain corner, Li Yi was startled, then turned around and asked Li Mingzhu: "What's the matter with Princess Yongning, doesn't she usually go to school?"
"Yongning is different from other princesses. Her father granted her permission not to go to school." Li Mingzhu said after a slight pause.
"What happened to Princess Yongning, why did she become like this?" Perhaps it was because of the feeling of deja vu that Li Yi couldn't help feeling pity for the little princess in his heart. At the age of seven, she should be innocent and full of childlike fun. She has no reason, and she should never be in that shadow forever.
His mother died early and suffered a serious illness... This is the news he heard from Princess Shouning. Li Mingzhu was more than ten years older than Yongning and grew up in the palace. He should be more aware of her affairs.
"Why did you suddenly ask about Yongning?" Li Mingzhu turned her head and asked him.
"I want to see if I can help her." Li Yi said truthfully.
"You have a solution?" Li Mingzhu looked at him, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
Although she and Yongning have never had any communication, but after all, she is also her younger sister, how could she not want her to become like a normal child
"It's hard to say, I can only try first." Li Yi shook his head and said.
All the imperial physicians in the palace, including those very famous doctors among the people, tried to treat Yongning, but none of them succeeded. If there is really anyone in this world who can cure her, Li Mingzhu believes that this person must be Li Yi.
"Yongning was born of Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang died of illness when Yongning was two years old. It may be because she lost her mother since she was a child. Yongning's temperament has always been relatively withdrawn, but it is not like this now. Occasionally, she will be with her. Playing with princesses and princes of the same age, the reason why she became what she is now is because of a serious illness a year ago."
"Father called all the imperial physicians in the palace, and the famous doctors in Beijing were also summoned overnight. Everyone was powerless. I thought Yongning would die, but I didn't expect that she would miraculously wake up after one night. Come here, the disease on her body is cured without treatment, even the imperial doctor finds it incredible." Li Mingzhu sighed and said: "However, although she saved her life, she seems to have lost all her memories, including her father. , I don’t know everyone around me anymore, and the imperial doctor said that my brain may have been burnt out, and there is no hope of healing in this life.”
"Since then, she has become more withdrawn, never talking to people, and she has become what she is now."
Li Yi frowned upon hearing this.
He only knows a little modern medical knowledge, not a miracle doctor. He thought that Princess Yongning was just autistic, but he didn't expect this to be the case.
If it really burns out the brain and causes amnesia, then things will be much more troublesome. In fact, no matter whether it is amnesia or autism, there is no particularly effective treatment method even in modern times, and things are even more troublesome than he imagined. many.
"Let's go first, I'll go back by myself in a while." Said to Li Mingzhu, and walked to a palace next to the food bureau.
On the stone steps in the corner of the palace, the little girl was sitting there, still holding the puppet in her arms, looking down at the ground in a daze.
"Hello, little girl, we meet again." Li Yi knelt down, smiled, and greeted her.
Hearing the voice, the little girl raised her head, and when she saw Li Yi, there seemed to be a little more color in her eyes, but there seemed to be nothing.
Li Yi took out the bead from his arms, waved it in front of her eyes, stretched out his other hand, and said, "Thank you for your bead, I like it very much. To thank you, how about I treat you to dinner?"
Looking at the palm stretched out in front of her, the little girl was startled, with a look of hesitation on her little face. After a long, long time, she carefully stretched out a hand and put it in Li Yi's palm.
Li Yi sighed inwardly, and finally took the first step.
…
…
Seeing the figure of a large and a small holding hands and about to walk into the food bureau, the palm of the food bureau was about to go crazy.
"Cucumbers, cucumbers, those two cucumbers must be hidden, and don't let him see them, they are called by the concubine Chen to come - to put on face!"
"Kunlun Purple Melon, Kunlun Purple Melon, Concubine Yan's favorite food. They were all delivered this morning. They are fresh, so don't waste them... What are you waiting for, hurry up!"
"Also, there's still that bowl of soup, hide it, hide it—it's too late, it's too late!" Zhang Shan said anxiously, and turned around quickly. He had already put on a bright smile, and said: "Your Majesty, see Princess Yongning, and Lord Sir!"
"No, no." Li Yi waved his hand, pointed to the guy who was desperately hiding the cucumber behind his back, and said, "You, come here!"
"It's over!" Seeing this scene, Zhang Shan's heart was bleeding, these are the last two cucumbers...
Concubine Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Zhang Tan faced the two cucumbers in his heart and mourned for a moment. Concubine Chen’s cucumbers were gone, and he could not afford to offend this lord. He could still stand among the people here if he robbed the eldest princess’ porridge , the imperial concubine is counted as one, but the concubine Chen is never included.
Li Yi didn't kill them all. He picked a fresh cucumber, washed it, broke it in half, and handed the front one to Yongning. Where are you looking, yes, what about you, don’t hide, bring me that eggplant—Kunlun purple melon.”
Even Concubine Yan's Kunlun purple melon was ruined, and the expression on Shangshi Bureau's palm was even more miserable.
The Shangshi Bureau is in charge of meals in the palace, concubines with no status have no right to instruct them to do things, let alone foreign ministers.
Apart from the royal family, Li Yi is the only one who can use Shangshi Bureau as his own kitchen.
Because he is not only the master of mathematics for many little princes and little princesses, but also the culinary teacher and nutritionist of Princess Shouning in name. Say something about what he's doing here.
As for complaining to His Majesty, saying that the nobleman is arrogant and domineering, causing the Bureau of Shangshi to be angry and resentful, using public property for private use, not to mention robbing Concubine Chen's cucumber, and even Concubine Yan's purple melon—such actions are simply unreasonable. It is the law that does not allow it, and the gods and men are all angry!
Zhang Shan really didn't dare.
I heard from Wei Neishi that His Majesty personally invited this lord to dinner a few days ago. Just him and His Majesty, who else in the world can have such an honor, not even the prime minister—give him ten more guts, and he won’t be able to do so. How dare you do this!
