In the end, in order to prove that Mingzhu and Ruyi were equally skilled, and that they were neither partial nor frank, Li Xuan ate up all the remaining meat rolls by himself.
Maybe it was because he was full of food, his face was flushed, and he looked at Li Yi with extremely resentful eyes.
Young people always have to grow up. Back then, he had been as innocent as Li Xuan, and then he was taught by Miss Liu Er and the eldest princess abruptly. He understood that there are some intersections in life, and it is better to give up than to do. choose.
Li Xuan rubbed his stomach, lay on the chair without grace, and murmured: "I'm right, those officials in the court have long been used to Mingzhu, and without Mingzhu, they dare not let go Let’s see what the chaotic state of the court looks like now?”
I have to say that Li Xuan's idea is very good, even Li Yi himself didn't think of it.
There is a saying that is very good, once there was a wise queen standing in front of the officials, but they didn't cherish it, and they regretted it when they lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this...
Although Her Royal Highness has not been able to make the courtiers think of a certain aspect during the few days of vacation, it is enough for them to calm down and think about many things.
"That's a good idea." Li Yi nodded, gave him a thumbs up, and passed an apple to him by the way, saying, "Eating some fruit after a meal is good for your health."
Li Xuan's eyes widened, he covered his mouth and ran towards the outside. The word "eat" is now something he can't even hear.
Taimei's promise was too young, so he vomited too much, which was the punishment for making a promise easily. After vomiting, Li Xuan's complexion improved a lot, but he slumped on the chair, and his royal demeanor disappeared.
The eldest princess did not stay in the palace at all during her vacation, so the courtiers naturally couldn't hear any news. The strange thing is that she and Miss Liu Er are clearly enemies, but they are always inseparable. Except for sleeping, they spend most of their time together Li Yi couldn't figure it out, besides martial arts, what other common language did the two of them have in common
You can't just exchange ideas with each other besides fighting, right
This made Li Yi a little worried. He looked back at Li Xuan and asked, "Help me see what they are talking about."
He is now very convinced by Li Xuan's lips, and finally discovered the brightest advantage in him. Never underestimate a man with a heart of gossip, because you never know how much effort he will put in for peeping.
"You can see clearly only by concentrating on it. Don't disturb me." Li Xuan weakly took out a small telescope from his sleeve and brought it to his eyes.
"Mingzhu said that your Ruyi family is too violent, it's not good to always use force against you, and the place where you hit is not polite..."
Li Yi was very relieved that Her Royal Highness was Her Royal Highness and would love others. Miss Liu Er, who only advocates violence, would not understand this.
"She also said that she found a secret technique in the library in the palace a few days ago, which can make people feel miserable when performing the technique. After the technique, it will become normal without leaving any traces... , suggest You can learn as you wish."
"—"
Li Yi suddenly remembered that he also had one thing to suggest to Ruyi.
Now that Mingzhu is still the eldest princess, the two of them can often exchange ideas with each other, but in the future, such opportunities will not be many.
Ruyi has to seize the opportunity and humiliate her a few more times. After all, a tiger's butt can't be touched, and the queen's butt can't be spanked even more. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, you won't have another chance in the future.
If she needs help, she can provide it for free...

household department.
Qin Huan, Minister of the Household Department, smiled and sent one person out of the Yamen, saying: "These days the tax law has been reformed, and the Household Department is busy with affairs. If it weren't for you, I would have a headache."
Zeng Shichun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Qin is serious. As a servant of the household department, this is the duty of a subordinate official."
Although there is a difference in rank between the two, Zeng Shichun is not only the servant of the household department, but also Jing Zhaoyin. Running, I'm afraid I'm very tired, go back and rest, the next thing for the household department, just leave it to other people to do."
"His Royal Highness's condition has improved, and I have to go to the palace to report on my duties. Lord Qin will send it here." Zeng Shichun cupped his hands, turned and got on the carriage.
Imperial Palace, Morning Dew Hall.
After Zeng Shichun finished his job report, he said again: "Your Highness, seven princes have returned to Beijing privately without receiving His Majesty's order. There are different opinions on this matter. Dare to ask the princess how to deal with this matter?" ?”
"Father has no objection to this matter, so there is no need to discuss it further."
Li Mingzhu put down a memorial, looked down, and said: "Recently, all the yamen are busy with affairs. It is a bit hard for you to be busy with the Jingzhao government office and the household department at the same time."
Zeng Shichun bowed and said, "This is the duty of the minister."
Li Mingzhu nodded and said: "Although he is doing things for the imperial court, it is not easy to arrange the affairs of the two governments so well. You will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of silk and allowed to rest for five days."
"Officials pay homage to Jing Zhaoyin, and are also servants of the household department. They should do their best for the court. This is their duty." Zeng Shichun knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness has the kindness to know you, so I should also make grass." Title ring, always loyal to His Highness!"
Li Mingzhu put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Zeng Shichun.
Allegiance to the court and allegiance to her are two different concepts.
Zeng Shichun has been an official for many years and holds a high position, so he will not fail to understand the difference between these two sentences.
After a while, she sat down again, nodded and said, "Get up."
…
Jing Zhaoyin is an official in charge of the Beijing-Hebei region. His official rank is only the fourth grade. In terms of rank in the court, there are still many officials above it. Main executive.
The former Jingzhaoyin and Dong Wenyun have become the mainstay of Shangshu Province. The two prime ministers have also held this position. Generally speaking, this position is a transition. .
Today's Jingzhao Yin Zeng Shichun was originally an official of the King of Shu, but was later favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess and promoted to his current position. He played a pivotal role in a huge case at the beginning of the year and won the unanimous approval of the people of Kyoto Praise, a few days ago, the officials of the King of Shu were implicated, and there were not many families like the Zeng family that were preserved.
Jing Zhaoyin Mansion.
A middle-aged official stroked his beard on his chin, shook his head and said: "Nowadays, the whole court is very busy, and this official also sneaks out of the busy schedule to have this little leisure time. Only Mr. Zeng is in a high position, but he still has such a lot of time. Leisurely and elegant, really envious of me..."
Zeng Shichun smiled, took a sip of tea, laid down a chess piece unhurriedly, and said: "Master Xu's words are unreasonable. In the past two days, I was as busy as my colleagues in the court. If Her Royal Highness hadn't been sympathetic and allowed me to rest for five days, where would I have time to drink tea and play chess?"
The officer surnamed Xu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness regards Master Zeng very highly. Maybe she will still rely on Master Zeng in the future..."
After he finished speaking, someone from the Zeng family knocked on the door and walked in, handing a post to Zeng Shichun.
Zeng Shichun looked at it, threw it aside, sighed, and shook his head slightly.
The officer surnamed Xu asked in surprise, "Master Zeng, why is he sighing?"
"The letter sent by King Xin invites me to a banquet tonight."
"So that's how it is." Master Xu put down his chess pieces, shook his head, and said, "I have received several posts like this recently. These princes are still too anxious..."
The topic has shifted here, and Zeng Shichun seemed to ask unintentionally: "Master Xu, which one of His Majesty's princes is the most virtuous and most likely to inherit the throne?"
"Your Majesty is so wise, but all the princes have not learned a little bit of your Majesty's skills." The official surnamed Xu shook his head and said: "King Shu, King Xin, King Qi..., these princes are more mediocre than each other. Xiande, look at the news from their fief over the years, it is not as good as a strand of hair from the eldest princess, and even Prince Ning's son is stronger than all of them combined, even, even..., they even have His Royal Highness King Jin. No child can compare!"
"The eldest princess has the talent to know the world, but she is a daughter..." Zeng Shichun sighed, and said: "If King Xin or King Qi succeeds to the throne, I really can't imagine that this world will eventually be the same. What has become of... ”
It seemed that he was aroused by him, and the officer surnamed Xu showed annoyance on his face, "To tell the truth, Mrs. Zeng, the eldest princess is ill this time. I and several colleagues have also thought about this issue. Her Royal Highness and many The courtiers have worked so hard to achieve this level, will it be destroyed by other people in the future?"
Zeng Shichun showed helplessness: "But the eldest princess is only acting in charge, and she will leave the court soon. It is impossible to always..."
"Who says it's impossible!" The officer surnamed Xu looked up at him, and said, "Princes are mediocre, but there is also King Jin, His Highness King Jin, in terms of identity, status, and ability, who can compare with many princes
It's just that His Royal Highness King Jin is too young to take on important responsibilities, but before His Highness becomes an adult, the Eldest Princess can take over the government, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds... "
Zeng Shichun looked at him and said in a low voice: "Master Xu, be careful with your words..."
