Yesterday, King Xin's hands were crippled, and several official residences in Kyoto were smashed under the watchful eyes of the public. Hall, but as always, calm.
Xin Wang left the capital early in the morning. His old injury was not healed, and he had a new injury. At this time, he didn't even have time to recuperate. I'm afraid the journey will inevitably be tossed and it won't be too comfortable.
In the morning court, five officials resigned at the same time, His Majesty and the princess acquiesced, the courtiers knew what was going on, they didn't say anything, they all glanced at the figure standing in the front in unison.
Li Yi's rare appearance in court today is because this should be the last time he will go to court.
The status of Yiziwang is already higher than that of the prime minister, and Shen Xiang and the new right minister Dong Wenyun have to be ranked behind him.
After the early court, he did not leave the palace, but waited in front of the Lizheng Hall.
"when are we leaving?"
Li Mingzhu, who took off his court clothes, appeared behind him, and walked over to stand side by side with him.
"tomorrow."
Li Yi replied, and there was a long silence between the two of them.
Li Mingzhu said suddenly: "I want to eat fried rice with eggs."
"Okay." Li Yi nodded, and asked, "To the Food Bureau or the Chenlu Hall?"
Li Mingzhu thought for a while and said, "Chenlu Hall."
…
The palace, another palace.
The girl took a bead flower in each hand, turned her head and asked: "Mother Concubine, do you think I look better wearing this bead flower, or this one?"
The woman in the palace costume came over, sat down beside her, and asked, "Ning'er, you don't wear your own clothes, you don't wear your own jewelry, you wear your mother's concubine's clothes, what do you do with your mother's concubine's beads?" ?”
"Because the mother concubine is the most beautiful..." the girl murmured, "I want to become as beautiful as the mother concubine, and even more beautiful than before..."
Concubine Yan stroked her hair, and asked softly, "Why does Ning'er want to become more beautiful?"
"Because my husband is leaving..." The girl's expression collapsed, and she said with some reluctance: "I want my husband to remember my most beautiful appearance."
The woman in palace costume held her in her arms, rested her chin lightly on her forehead, looked down at her, her eyes gradually softened, and whispered: "Our Ning'er has grown up..."
The girl's beautiful eyes lit up suddenly, and she raised her head and asked, "Really, my concubine also thinks that when I grow up, I can let brother Xuan make an order..."
"Although I've grown up, I'm not big enough yet, and it will take a few more years..." Concubine Yan lovingly touched her head, and said, "Concubine Mother, I will help you dress up, and I will definitely dress up Ning'er beautifully." bright…”
Not long after, the girl walked around in front of a huge full-length mirror with her skirt in her hand, and murmured in disbelief: "Mother, this, is this me?"
Concubine Yan lovingly helped her adjust the position of the bead flower 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...."
"Don't worry." Concubine Yan pulled her to sit down, pulled her into her arms, and said, "Ning'er, do you still remember what Concubine Mu told you?"
She thought for a while and said: "The concubine mother said that the sentence 'If you want to grab a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach' is wrong. If a man likes you, no matter how hard you do eat, he will also say he likes it... "
"My concubine also said that if a man says he doesn't have it perfunctorily, he really does..."
"My concubine also said..."
…
She counted one by one with her fingers. She already understood some of what the concubine mother said, but she still half-understood some, and some didn't understand at all. She looked up at her mother. The concubine asked, "What sentence does the concubine mother refer to?"
Concubine Yan looked at her and asked, "Do you still remember what Concubine Mother said, what is the most important thing in life for us girls?"
She thought for a while and said, "My concubine said that the most important thing for us girls in this life is to find someone to rely on..."
Concubine Yan nodded, stroked her hair, and said: "Ning'er has grown up, and in a few years, it will be time to get married..."
She blushed and said, "Not yet, don't worry..."
"Ning'er, you have to remember that if you meet someone you like in the future, you should boldly like him..." 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. To make him remember you, you must first make him hurt, and to make him remember you forever, you must make him feel heartbroken... "
"If you want him to remember, you must first make him hurt..." She looked at her mother and concubine in confusion, and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Ning'er will know in the future." Concubine Yan touched her head and said, "Go..."
…
Li Yi has always felt that Mingzhu is a dedicated person, and she has never been bored with eating fried rice with the same taste from Jinghe for one year to Jinghe for five years.
A single-minded man is hard to find, and a single-minded woman is equally scarce.
Li Yi was actually attracted by the way she concentrated on eating fried rice with eggs, and when she looked up, she looked away a little 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 to her properly."
Li Mingzhu looked up at him suddenly, and asked, "Then how are you going to explain it to me?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "If I don't leave the capital, he, the emperor, will not be safe."
Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "This is what you should explain to him."
"Without me, you can still handle these things well." Li Yi shook his head and said, "State affairs are important, but I hope that when everything settles down, you can think about it for yourself."
"I've 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, "I was drunk that day, what did I tell you?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "I will tell you when you come back."
"I will return."
"Not too long."
"Not for long."
…
Li Yi turned around and left Chenlu Hall, and her wrist was suddenly held by her.
"For me... , can't you stay?" She lowered her head and whispered.
Li Yi turned his head and remained silent for a long time before raising his hand to help her remove a grain of rice from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Your status is different now, so slow down when eating fried rice in the future, don't lose your bearing..."
She looked up at Li Yi, shook her head, and said, "Until you come back, I won't eat fried rice anymore."
…
Walking out of Chenlu Hall, Li Yi felt a little heavy.
Just as she couldn't go with him, he couldn't stay either. He yearned for the wider sky outside. For him, this capital was no different from a cage.
This should be the most correct choice.
But it is not the best choice, not good for Mingzhu, not good for Shouning.
Thinking of that innocent girl without a trace of impurities, he felt a little blocked. He didn't want her to know some things. She would only think that this was a simple play. They had played enough and were tired. Will be 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-woman standing there.
A bead flower was inserted on her head, which was different from the playful style of girls in the past, revealing a kind of grace and stability that had never been seen before.
She was wearing a palace dress, not a girl's style, it was luxurious and dignified.
A touch of makeup was applied to her face, covering up the little youthfulness left. Li Yi glanced over it, as if she had traveled through time, which was extremely unreal.
She looked at Li Yi who was frozen in place, with a slight smile on her face, and spoke again.
"gentlemen… "
