"His Royal Highness Jin Wang is so leisurely, has he finished all his math homework?"
Li Yi looked at Li Han with a calm expression and said, "That's right, in four months, even if His Highness reads for half an hour a day, it is more than enough. Starting tomorrow, I will make up the homework owed to you one by one. See you at Bowen Palace tomorrow at Sishi, Your Highness King Jin, please don't be late."
Cold sweat broke out on Li Han's forehead. He had already tore up the math textbook a few months ago. He didn't want to waste half an hour every day on such boring things.
"Father, the emperor said that the weather is too hot, we, we don't need to go to palace school for a few days..." Li Han stammered as the preconceived fear was extremely difficult to get rid of.
Li Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the heaven will send a great task to the people, and you must first work hard and work hard. What is this little heat? I will tell your majesty in a while. I'm worried."
Ignoring King Jin who was already stupidly standing there, Li Yi squatted down, rubbed Yongning's small face, and asked, "Sorry, it's been so long since I came to see you, are you still hungry now?"
The little girl shook her head, took out a bulging brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, and put it in Li Yi's palm.
The brocade handkerchief was cold and wet. Li Yi opened it and took a look, only to find that there was a piece of ice wrapped inside.
After giving Li Yi the only ice she had left, the little girl turned around and walked towards the palace next to her.
"It's important to see Your Majesty." Li Yi watched her small figure disappear into the palace, and Li Xuan's voice reminded him.
"You two come here." Li Yi waved to the two eunuchs standing not far away.
"What's your order?" The two eunuchs who were planning to go back with Princess Yongning ran over immediately.
Li Yi pointed in the direction of the palace gate, gave them some instructions, and glanced at the palace where Yongning was, before he and Li Xuan walked deeper into the palace without haste.
After a while, Jin Wang Li Han saw the two eunuchs who had left just now, each carrying a huge wooden bucket, coming from the gate of the palace.
When the two passed by his side, a comfortable cool breeze was brought in. Li Han glanced into the barrel, and when he saw the ice that almost occupied the entire barrel, his eyes widened involuntarily...
The addition of these two buckets of ice cubes is enough to cover his one-month share!
At this moment, how much he wanted to embrace such an ice cube and sleep beautifully, but after this unrealistic thought dissipated, he finally realized a more terrifying thing.
The devil is back, his good days are finally coming to an end...
…
…
"Your Majesty just fell asleep. His Royal Highness, Shizi, wait in the side hall first. When His Majesty wakes up, the servant will report to His Majesty." The eunuch at the gate of the hall whispered.
"Forget it, it's even hotter inside the palace, let's wait here." Li Xuan was standing in a cool place under the porch, with a little wind blowing, feeling pretty good, this place is definitely much cooler than inside.
Just look at those guys in Taoist robes, the sweat on their faces is almost flowing into rivers. Although it may be cool to roll up their sleeves like Li Yi and fan the hem of their skirts, the royal etiquette they have accepted since childhood is not. Allow him to do the same.
He began to miss the jug of chilled wine.
"This is the imperial palace after all, can't you behave yourself?" Li Yizheng slapped vigorously, when he heard a voice, he turned his head and saw His Highness the Princess standing in the corridor looking at him.
With a lady present, this action was somewhat indecent, so Li Yi had to put down his sleeves and tidy up his skirt.
The palace is still not as comfortable as at home. If there are only him and Ruyi, only a piece of cloth is needed to cover the key parts.
"When did you return to Beijing?" Li Mingzhu came over and asked.
"It's only been a few days since I came back." Li Yi prevaricated with a word.
Li Mingzhu wanted to ask more questions, but two guards came over with several monks.
"I have seen Your Highness the Princess." Master Sandalwood Yin clasped his hands together and said.
"Master, you don't need to be too polite." Even a princess of a country is not suitable to put on airs in front of great virtuous monks, Li Mingzhu returned the courtesy.
"Father just fell asleep, master go to the side hall and wait."
Li Yi was a little curious, what kind of sparks would collide with a monk and a Taoist priest in the same room
Although they also make a living by fooling around, they are probably regarded as peers, but monks and Taoists generally do not see each other. Buddhism and Taoism have to compete for believers and incense, and resources are limited. If one side has more, the other side will naturally have less. Come and go, Liangzi will naturally form.
Although Taoism is the orthodox state religion of Jingguo, its development in Jingguo is far inferior to that of Buddhism. The believers can't compete with each other for incense, so naturally they won't give the monks good looks.
Facing their unkind gazes, several young monks behind Master Tan Yin stared back, not to be outdone.
"I don't know why the master entered the palace?" Li Yi walked over to chat with Master Tanyin in a low voice, even if he was idle.
Master Tanyin said: "Your Majesty is in poor health. At the invitation of the Empress, the poor monk brought his disciples to chant sutras for His Majesty to heal his illness."
After listening to the words of the old monk Tanyin, Li Yi understood why, although Buddhism was prosperous, Taoists were more popular in the palace.
There is no other reason, no matter what happens, the monks can only chant scriptures to pray to the Buddha, and do ritual things. Taoist priests can also do these things, put on Taoist robes, and chant casually. Do a few sword dances, and then read a few words "Taishang Laojun is in a hurry like a law", jumping back and forth, left and right, it seems that something is going on.
But besides these, Taoist priests can also make alchemy!
All kinds of elixirs refined by Taoist priests are very popular among the rich and powerful circles in Kyoto. Eat one to prolong life, eat two to live forever, and three to eat, immediately soaring in the daytime, ranking among the immortals...
Although these have never been realized, they cannot hold back the rock-solid dream of longevity of these people.
However, a wise and wise person like the old emperor should not do that kind of suicide. Since ancient times, no emperor has prolonged his life by taking pills. Chengxian doesn't know.
Could it be that he wants these monks and Taoists to unite to do a religious ceremony? It's quite interesting to think about it, but I don't know if the Buddha and the Taoist will fight in the sky...
"What do these Taoist priests do?" Li Yi walked over and asked Li Mingzhu in a low voice.
"The priests of the Si Tianjian sent the elixir to the father." Li Mingzhu explained: "The father's illness is due to the elixir they refined."
The expression on Li Yi's face was startled, and he looked at Li Mingzhu in shock, "What did you say?"
"What's wrong?" Seeing the expression on Li Yi's face, Li Mingzhu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Has Your Majesty been taking those useless pills?" Li Yi raised his voice and asked again.
The old emperor really dared to eat anything. Could it be that he wanted to die early
"shut up!"
In the hall, an old Taoist priest stood up, pointed at Li Yi, and said loudly: "Who are you, how dare you speak wild words and slander my Taoist holy medicine!"
