The bustle outside has nothing to do with Li Zexuan. It is a rare "Golden Week" holiday. How can I live up to Li Er's "painstaking efforts" if I don't sleep in
Of course, if Li Er knew that his intentions would be understood like this by Li Zexuan, he would definitely vomit blood.
Get up at three o'clock in the morning.
After having breakfast and resting for a while, Li Zexuan returned to his small courtyard and began to practice swordsmanship. Well, practicing swordsmanship, not practicing swordsmanship!
He hadn't practiced sword practice for a long time, and when he suddenly picked up the Wind Chaser Sword, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Li Zexuan couldn't help but frowned, and thought to himself: It's all because Li Er insisted on forcing him to do something. He has such high martial arts qualifications, so he wants to let others do it. Teaching by yourself is simply a waste of talent, and it has delayed the rise of a generation of great martial arts masters!
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Li Zexuan forcibly practiced Taixuan Nine Swords several times. Well, it should only be five swords now. It wasn't until the jerky feeling disappeared that he put away the Wind Chasing Sword and took a breath.
"Master, you looked so good dancing with the sword just now!"
Xiao Xi ran over excitedly and said happily while wiping Li Zexuan's sweat with a wet towel.
"Yeah, he looks just like the Sword Immortal!"
Xiaohe's face turned red with excitement, and she also ran over and echoed.
Although Li Zexuan's swordsmanship has declined slightly compared to last month, this difference cannot be seen by an expert. The two little girls were easily fascinated by Li Zexuan's graceful and heroic figure flying up and down while practicing swordsmanship. Of course, there is also the reason why Li Zexuan is handsome.
Anyway, those adoring and enthusiastic eyes greatly satisfied Li Zexuan's inner vanity.
This should be considered my young master’s little fangirl! Li Zexuan was proud in his heart, but pretended to be calm on his face. He took the towel on Xiao Xi's hand, wiped it randomly twice, looked at Xiao He and joked:
"Xiao He, do you know what the Sword Immortal looks like?"
Xiao He cocked his chin proudly, shook his little head and said: "Of course I know, Mr. Storyteller said it! Three points of sword energy, chivalrous bones and soft intestines, a relegated sword immortal, and a heroic appearance, Xiao He thinks these are what he said Master!"
"Haha, my little girl's mouth is so sweet today. Did you put some honey on it? Let me try it, Master!"
Li Zexuan smiled heartily and tried to pounce. Xiao He was so frightened that he screamed and ran away.
"Ah! Master, why are you like this? Xiaohe is ignoring you, hum!"
After saying that, she blushed and ran away.
"Haha! This little girl!"
Li Zexuan looked at Xiao He's running back, smiled and shook his head. He had nothing to do at home, and it was quite interesting to tease the little maid.
"Hehe, Master, you scared Xiaohe again!"
Xiao Xi covered her mouth and chuckled. After being together for so long, she could still tell what kind of temper her young master was. It was obvious that he was just teasing Xiao He on purpose, and he had no intention of being frivolous at all.
"Hey!"
Li Zexuan handed the towel to Xiao Xi's hand, changed the subject, and asked, "Where's Lan'er? Did you go out to play again?"
"Well, the lady has already gone out early in the morning."
Xiao Xi replied.
Since Li Zexuan was ennobled, the Li family has also grown with the tide, and is considered a high-ranking family in Yonglefang. Li Jingmo and his wife are not too worried about their daughter's safety. In addition, Li Zexuan's excessive pampering, Lan'er has Chance to run out and go crazy with other friends.
This little girl has the backing of Qiquge Workshop, so she can always get a lot of novelty gadgets. The naughty kids in Yongle Square are also happy to play with her. Now this little girl has a faint tendency to become the eldest sister in the workshop. , there are quite a few younger brothers "hanging out" with her.
"Haha, this little girl is quite leisurely, but those little guys over there may have a hard time, right? Haha!"
Li Zexuan looked in the direction of the Imperial College in the northwest and smiled maliciously. It is estimated that many students would scold him when they saw the perverted questions he asked!
"Master, who is having a hard time?"
Xiao Xi asked curiously.
Li Zexuan waved his hand and was about to explain when he saw Sanbao running towards this side and shouting as he ran:
"Master, Master, the imperial edict is here! I want you to go to the front yard to receive the edict as soon as possible!"
When Li Zexuan heard this, his head was filled with questions. Didn't he just receive an imperial edict yesterday? Why are you here again today? Could it be that Li Er thought the punishment was not strong enough and wanted to do something to him again
Although he was full of questions, it was useless to ask the two people in front of him. Li Zexuan quickly went to change clothes. He wore more casual clothes for practicing. If he went to receive the order like this, he might be criticized by others.
The official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty focused on the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, and regarded the five colors of green, red, white, black, and yellow as the "five correct colors", that is, cyan in the east, red in the south, white in the west, black in the north, and yellow in the center.
Yellow represents both the center and the base. The color of the imperial uniform is yellow. Official uniforms of other levels are also distinguished by colors and patterns. Purple robes of the third rank and above wear a gold fish bag; scarlet robes of the fifth rank and above wear a silver fish bag; green robes and no fish bags of the sixth rank and below.
Half an hour later, Li Zexuan came to the front yard in "formal attire" wearing a fifth-grade scarlet robe and a silverbait bag.
When the eunuch who delivered the edict saw the real master coming, he didn't waste any time and said, "Master Li, please welcome the imperial edict." He opened the imperial edict and began to read it loudly.
Different from the previous imperial edict for knighthood, today's imperial edict was simpler and clearer. After listening to it for a while, Li Zexuan understood. His eyes widened in disbelief. Li Er was promoting himself! Was there any mistake? I was criticized just yesterday, and am I getting promoted today? Can you still play like this
However, Li Er is still a bit stingy. He worked hard day and night for the education of Datang, but he was only given the position of Imperial College Secretary, and he was not given a Marquis or anything like that. He was really stingy! Li Zexuan is a little dissatisfied with his current title. A baron doesn't sound as domineering as a marquis. It seems he has to find a way to become a marquis!
Li Zexuan was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu. When the eunuch finished reciting the imperial edict, he pretended to cry with gratitude and went to receive the edict to express his gratitude. The old eunuch smiled and said: "The man from Li County is really good at it. He is in the Imperial Academy at a young age. He is really good at it." He is so young and accomplished, which is rare in the world!"
Li Zexuan felt a little disdainful in his heart. What's so good about the Imperial College Si Ye? The name just doesn't sound good. Si Ye Si Ye, dead father, dead father. How depressing, I don't want to be a young master! But he only dared to say this in his heart. If he really said it out loud, Li Er would kill himself, and his father would go berserk. Didn’t you see that Father Li was smiling like a chrysanthemum after listening to the imperial edict
Li Zexuan pretended to be modest and said:
"The chamberlain is joking, please come in for tea!"
At this time, Li Jingmo took a plate of gold leaves, stuffed it into the hand of the chamberlain calmly, and said with a smile: "Quinzi is right, chamberlain, please come into the house with me and have tea!"
The old eunuch collected the gold in a skillful manner, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, we have to return to the palace to recover!"
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
