During this period of time, although Li Yuanying could be said to be studying hard, he still did some stupid things.

In the first ten days of May, he took a handful of sunflower seeds and knocked them when Kong Yingda was testing Li Zhi. Kong Yingda was furious, confiscated his sunflower seeds and kicked him out of the lecture hall.

It is said that Li Yuanying was still not convinced, and yelled, "In a few months, the sunflower seeds I planted will grow!"

Kong Yingda was so angry that she went to complain to His Majesty Li Er.

As a result, His Majesty Li Er led a group of ministers to the greenhouse to watch the ten sunflowers that had crossed the ocean to bring Tang Dynasty.

Knowing that Li Yuanying found the seeds of this rare crop, but fried and ate them all, leaving only ten seeds for fun, everyone was so angry that their livers hurt!

According to the sunflower planting guide, the sunflower seeds not only look delicious, but also have a high yield and a short planting period, and they can also produce oil!

Such a good thing was eaten by this kid!

Now those ten sunflowers have been surrounded and tightly protected. Every day, some people want to take a detour to see if they have bloomed golden flowers and when they will set seeds!

As for where the sunflower seeds came from, Li Yuanying confessed honestly that someone gave them to him, and he found them interesting so he took them out and planted them.

Li Yuanying didn't speak clearly, but His Majesty Li Er took the initiative to help him fill in the origins of things: Back then, the Supreme Emperor loved this youngest son the most, even when meeting foreigners, he would hold him on his lap. Later, when the Supreme Emperor passed away, Li Yuanying left the most things. At least when Li Yuanying moved into the Taiji Palace, there were box after box of things, which made people dizzy! Even Li Yuanying himself doesn't know what's in it, so it's not unusual for Li Yuanying to take out some rare things from time to time.

His Majesty Li Er got the fried sunflower seeds handed in by Kong Yingda, and wanted to confiscate Li Yuanying's boxes of treasures!

God knows what else he would spoil? !

Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er still had to lose face, after all, he didn't try to rob his younger brother's things by force.

Li Yuanying didn't care at all about the little trouble he caused by disrupting the classroom.

Seeing that her birthday was approaching, Li Yuanying happily wrote to Liu Baolin, saying that she had improved recently and had read a lot of books. When the mother-in-law goes to the fiefdom in the future, he can teach classes and teach a group of good disciples to dominate the imperial examinations, which will stun His Majesty Li Er!

In the letter, Li Yuanying built a beautiful blueprint for Liu Baolin with both pictures and texts, showing a sense of can't wait to go to the fief immediately to show his skills!

Li Yuanying brought his son-in-law and the others to write the letter together. Seeing that Li Yuanying had written a thick pile of eloquence, the son-in-law couldn't help leaning over to see what Li Yuanying wrote.

Li Yuanying did not hide it from Sizi, and shared his various plans with Sizi—

First of all, he wants to train a group of people to play with him. These people must be able to read, write, and tell stories. He will reward whoever tells the best story. By then, he will have endless stories to listen to!

Then he will ask people to collect all the delicious food in the world, and he will reward whoever finds the most delicious food. In that case, he will have endless good things to taste!

If it is far away from Chang'an, he will secretly enforce the curfew to make the city as lively as daytime every night!

Sizi listened happily at first, and felt that Li Yuanying's idea was very good! But she quickly thought that if Li Yuanying went to the fiefdom, she couldn't go with him!

Seeing Li Yuanying so happy, Sizi flattened her mouth, a little sad.

After returning home, Sizi talked about this with his sisters Chengyang and Hengshan: "Uncle Yao has gone to the fiefdom, so he can't take us to play together!" After speaking, Sizi burst into tears. He is a child over six years old, and he still doesn't know how to control his emotions. When he is sad, he can't help but cry.

Heng Shan was younger than her, and upon hearing what Si Zi said, he also cried: "Then what should we do?"

The two younger sisters looked at their older sister, Cheng Yang, with teary eyes.

Of course Cheng Yang couldn't think of a good idea to keep Li Yuanying.

Thinking of the possibility that Uncle Yao might leave them, Chengyang's nose was sore, and he couldn't help crying with his two younger sisters.

That day, His Majesty Li Er chatted with his confidants until nightfall before leaving. Thinking of the three daughters, he wanted to go and have a look. I didn't want to go outside the door, but I heard the three precious daughters crying sadly again!

With the experience of the past two months, His Majesty Li Er immediately locked his suspicion on Li Yuanying.

Could it be that the kid told the story of Wilde to Sizi and the others again? !

His Majesty Li Er opened the door and entered.

The three of them cried so much that their shoulders shrugged. After hearing the movement, they raised their heads with tears in their eyes, and vaguely recognized their father.

Sizi rushed up first, hugged His Majesty Li Er's thigh and cried, "Father, we don't want Uncle Yao to leave!"

His Majesty Li Er coaxed Sizi's tears back with kind words, and only then did he realize what was going on: it turned out that the kid had planned to take his mother to the fief to live a happy life without restraint!

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, but his heart was a little bit disappointed by Sizi's sobbing.

Man, always so weird. You originally thought the boy was quite annoying, but when you think that you will never see him again, you feel a little bit reluctant. But the boy you are reluctant to part with is heartless, wishing to get away from you earlier, you say it's irritating or not!

His Majesty Li Er said: "Don't be afraid, I won't let him do what he wants."

That kid wants to go to the fiefdom, in a few more years!

Sizi said pleasantly, "Uncle Yao won't be leaving?"

His Majesty Li Er rubbed Si's head, and assured him: "Father will not let him go."

The three little lolitas were all smiling.

The next day, Sizi went to Li Yuanying to tell Li Yuanying the good news in the afternoon.

Li Yuanying didn't expect that he would be tricked by three little lolitas! He pinched Sizi's little cheek angrily, until Sizi opened his mouth to bite him before letting go.

Si's face was flushed, and she didn't get angry when she was pinched, so she took Li Yuanying's hand and said, "Uncle Yao, you are not allowed to leave!"

Li Yuanying had nothing to do with this little guy, so he had to admit it. Anyway, he felt that His Majesty Li Er definitely didn't change his mind because Sizi and the others were crying.

If you don't go to the fief, then don't go, you can always go in the future, and it's not bad for the past few years. His Majesty Li Er can't keep him in Chang'an forever!

Li Yuanying played with Sizi and the others for a long time, and then went to visit Xiao Deyan while it was still early.

Xiao Deyan still looked like an old fairy, Li Yuanying liked him very much, and happily told him that he had finished reading all the books!

Li Yuanying actively asked: "What should I do next?"

Xiao Deyan was a little surprised, although the books he chose for Li Yuanying were not many words, and the reasoning was relatively simple, but it was surprising that he finished reading so many books in more than a month.

In particular, Li Yuanying still has to make trouble in the lecture hall and take a few little princesses to play around!

Xiao Deyan didn't mention some exciting things recently, but only picked a few sentences from the Analects and asked Li Yuanying about their context and meaning.

Li Yuanying has read a lot of books recently, and he is not afraid of being challenged at all, so he answered Xiao Deyan's question with ease.

Next, Xiao Deyan gradually increased the difficulty, and Li Yuanying's answering speed gradually slowed down.

Difficult as it may be, Li Yuanying felt that a whole new world was opening up before him. Before, he just dealt with reading, he could memorize it and understand it, but Xiao Deyan's questions showed him a completely different way. .

It turns out that reading is not just for reading!

At the end of Xiao Deyan's question, although Li Yuanying was stumped, he looked very happy, and sincerely praised: "You are really amazing!"

Xiao Deyan denied it: "It's just that chatting has lived dozens of years longer than others."

This time, Li Yuanying did not directly ask Xiao Deyan to make a list of books for himself, but to list out the parts that he did not quite understand and ask for advice, and then he wrote down the various classics that he had heard mentioned by others recently, and let Xiao Deyan see which ones are worth reading. of.

Xiao Deyan took over the booklet written by Li Yuanying and looked at it. The first thing he noticed was that Li Yuanying's handwriting had improved a lot, at least it was no longer written as ghostly symbols that no one could understand.

Looking carefully at the books listed by Li Yuanying, Xiao Deyan took the brush and crossed out a few of them: "Some of the books here are repetitive, and some are not worth reading. I have crossed them out for you. You can try the rest. try."

Li Yuanying happily thanked Xiao Deyan, continued to chat with Xiao Deyan for a while, and left happily with the book list after the ink was dry.

On the way back, Li Yuanying ran into Li Tai.

Seeing Li Yuanying coming out from Xiao Deyan's side, Li Tai twitched again, and said hello to Li Yuanying: "Uncle Yao went to see the teacher again?"

When Li Yuanying heard Li Tai calling Teacher Xiao Deyan, he also thought it was a good title, so he said, "Yes, I heard a lot of books mentioned by others recently, so I copied a list to ask the teacher which ones are worth reading!" He said to Li Tai enviously. , "Nephew, you are so happy, you can ask the teacher directly if you don't understand anything every day."

When Li Tai heard this, this kid still didn't give up, and wanted to borrow Xiao Deyan away! Also, that is the teacher chosen by his father, what does it matter to you, Li Yuanying? Li Tai squeezed out a smile: "That's natural, I can't live without my teacher for a day, even when I come to Jiucheng Palace, I have to bother my teacher to follow me by boat and car."

Hearing what Li Tai said, Li Yuanying nodded and said nothing further, holding the book list and saying goodbye to Li Tai.

Dai Ting walked back behind Li Yuanying silently.

The master and the servant walked for a while, and Dai Ting heard Li Yuanying mutter: "No one has told him, is his smile a bit fake? Oh, my nephews really don't make people worry about one or two of them." .”

Dai Ting looked at his nose, nose and heart, without any expression on his face.

After Li Yuanying returned to his residence, someone informed him to prepare for being sealed. His ninth birthday is coming soon, and His Majesty Li Er wants to formally confer him the title of King Teng, and has ordered people to go to Tengzhou to build the Prince Teng Mansion.

Li Yuanying didn't quite know where Tengzhou was, and he went to find his best nephew, Li Zhi, after honestly listening to someone teach him about being entrusted.

Li Zhi was quite familiar with maps, and when he heard that it was Tengzhou, he said, "This place is in the east, within the territory of Henan Province, not far from the sea."

Li Yuanying was very happy to hear that: "Then I can go play in the sea!"

Li Yuanying was happy, but Li Zhi felt as sad as Sizi and the others. Although His Majesty Li Er has said that he will not let Li Yuanying go to the fief for the time being, Li Yuanying will still go there in a few years; and he will have his own fief in the future. See.

Li Zhi said: "If you can be like Uncle Yao, there won't be so many things."

Li Yuanying raised his hand and patted Li Zhi's head, shook his head and said, "Even if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. It's nothing to do with you. What are you worrying about?" He shared the new book list brought back from Xiao Deyan with Li Zhi , pull Li Zhi to start a new round of study together.

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: You may not believe it, but I am King Teng, that’s right, the King Teng from the Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng...

Note: It was written that the youngest princess was Xincheng. A girl pointed out that the first seal was Hengshan, so it was unified and changed to Hengshan!
