Li Yi walked out of the imperial garden with the brocade box in his arms, passing Changde 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, and the monk was rich. He should be the richest person in Jingguo.
So the monk is going to be unlucky.
These days, there are more statues of Buddha, Avalokitesvara, and the like. The old emperor will not give up until he scrapes 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 if I want to attract believers, I will hold some dharma meeting to show off the glass Guanyin statue. I will do it quickly during this time, otherwise I will not have many glass statues in the future. I don't even dare to say which temple I came from, for fear of shame...
The most important thing right now is to send the thing in my arms to the eldest princess.
He could find the way to Chenlu Hall with his eyes closed, but he might have to fall a few more times and hit the wall a few more times.
Today is the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. As the leader of women in Kyoto today, her appeal is second only to the Empress Empress. Naturally, she knows quite a few women from officials and noble families. Therefore, today's Chenlu Hall is extremely lively.
The swallows are thin and the rings are fat, and the laughter and laughter inside can be heard outside the hall.
"My servant has seen Uncle Li." The maid guarding the door saluted Yingying.
"Xiaolan, is the princess in there?" They were all familiar faces, Li Yi handed her the gift box and asked casually.
The maid said with a smile: "Here, Her Royal Highness is inside, and His Royal Highness Shi Zi just came over."
"Sir, sir, you are here!" Tsundere Lolita ran over holding Yong Ning's hand, and said, "Sir, what gift did you bring for Sister Huang, I want to see it, I want to see it."
Li Yi patted her hand away from the gift box, and said, "Don't make a fuss, I'll see it later."
The movement from the door immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
"That's Li Xianbo, Li Xianbo who is as famous as His Highness the Princess and the Son?"
"That's him, that time in Yingcui Palace, Concubine Cui's personal maid framed Mrs. Li, Li Xianbo didn't even give Concubine Cui any face, and I stood behind Mrs. Li that time..."
"He looks pretty good. My brother said that Mr. Li Xianbo treats students very harshly in the School of Mathematical Sciences. I don't think it looks like..."
"He's the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences. What's wrong with being strict with the students? I think it's a good idea. My younger brother, who has been in the School of Mathematical Sciences for a few days, has even changed his temper. He never liked it before. Those who are studying, now every time they go home, they have to read until late at night, and they say that they will be punished by His Royal Highness Jin Wang. How old is Jin Wang, how can he scare him like that? I think it is because of Li County. Uncle…”
…
…
In the corner, Li Xuan, who was sitting alone on a table, looked up at the door. After being stunned, as if he saw a savior, he stood up and walked over with big strides.
"Why did you come here?" After finally calming down Aojiao Lolita, holding Yongning's hand and walking inside, she saw Li Xuan walking over.
"I was called by His Majesty just now."
Li Yi replied, and was about to move forward, but after a glance, he still didn't take the next step.
"The gift will be handed over to the princess in a while, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
He turned around without hesitation, but was grabbed by Li Xuan and dragged directly to a corner in the hall.
"If you are a friend, 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. Now, at least I can share some for myself.
"Or let's go..."
Li Yi could feel countless eyes falling on him, naked and undisguised. He raised his head and glanced at him from the corner of his eye. He was really looking at him openly...
What does it mean to nod while watching...
Li Xuan curled his lips in disdain, and said: "Doesn't leaving now mean that I am afraid, I, Li Xuan's dignified son, have not seen any scenes before, how many women will I be afraid of?"
Li Yi glanced at him and pointed to his legs: "Aren't you afraid that you are shaking?"
…
…
"Miss, miss, look who that is!"
Beside a certain table, the girl whose eyes were looking around in the hall glanced at a certain corner, her expression froze suddenly, after wiping her eyes, she hurriedly tugged at the pretty girl next to her and said.
The woman was talking with someone in a low voice, when she heard the words, she turned her head in doubt and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, look over there!" The girl pointed to a corner in the hall and said.
The woman looked over suspiciously, saw a certain figure, and the next moment, her face suddenly changed: "It's him!"
Seeing her strange appearance, the older woman on the opposite side was stunned, glanced in that direction, and said, "What's the matter, Susu, do you know Li Xianbo and Li Xuan Shizi?"
"Uncle Li?" The woman was taken aback when she heard the words, as if she hadn't thought that that person was Li Yi, who was famous in the capital for a while.
"That's right, the one on the left is the famous County Uncle Li." The older woman explained.
The woman shifted her gaze a little, and asked, "The one next to Mr. Li County..."
"That's Prince Ning's son, Li Xuan, who is also the dean of the Academy of Sciences that is about to open."
"Prince Ning's son, Li Xuan..."
The woman gritted her silver teeth tightly and spat out these words with difficulty.
…
…
Li Xuan glanced back in surprise, found nothing unusual, shook his head, and said, "I'm too lazy to take care of the Academy of Sciences. I'll hand it over to the people below. You leave me a place in the Academy of Mathematical Sciences. I think that if you want to develop science, you must first learn arithmetic well... Hey, anyway, you are lazy at home all day, there is Xiaohan in the academy, how about you help me manage the academy?"
Too lazy to talk to this delusional guy, Li Mingzhu talked to a few people over there, and when she was done, she said hello and left. When she came out, the house was still stewing soup.
On the other side, Tsundere Loli sneaked to the place where the gifts were piled up, and muttered in a low voice: "I want to see what kind of gift I brought for Sister Huang."
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 Tsundere Lolita's face froze, her mouth opened wide, and the gift box fell from her hands and fell to the ground.
A pure white palm stretched out from the side, holding the gift box, Li Mingzhu patted her on the head and said, "Be careful."
She took the glazed statue out of the box and saw the very familiar face on the statue. After being stunned, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
As for the women around, they had already covered their mouths and exclaimed, staring fixedly at the statue, completely shocked.
"Gudong..."
Li Xuan, who just walked over from the side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head, and looked at Li Yi with piercing eyes.
Li Yi thought for a while, took the gift box from the eldest princess, tied it, and handed it to Li Xuan with both hands.
"Happy Birthday!"
…
…
"Sir, I want it too!"
Tsundere loli hugged his leg and didn't let go.
In desperation, Li Yi took out two bracelets made of beads of different colors from his bosom, gave one to her, and put the other on Yongning's hand, but Yongning's wrist was too thin, so the bracelet was worn on her hand , seems a little 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.
Tsundere Loli proudly raised her wrist, and the sunlight shone through, leaving a swaying streamer on the ground.
At a certain moment, Li Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong with 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 Tsundere Lolita, and finally set their eyes on himself, and his breathing became heavy...
