Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chen Youlan felt as if she was being controlled by some kind of supernatural power, until her lips separated from Li Xin's cheek, she seemed to wake up from some kind of intoxicating dream.

Although she was the one who took the initiative in the scene just now, she was not much more sober than the other protagonist in the silent play. Her mind was also blank, and her heart was beating uncomfortably.

What did I do? Why should I kiss him?

Chen Youlan questioned herself like a storm in her heart.

She didn't care whether Li Xin wanted to present the abacus to His Majesty the Emperor, or whether he wanted to teach the household officials how to use the abacus. She wasn't the type to kiss other people for such a reason at all.

So why on earth is she doing this?

Maybe it was because Li Xin's expression of remorse when he closed his eyes was too vivid, maybe it was because his skin was fair and clean, or maybe it was because his long eyelashes were trembling, which was too cute. In short, something struck Being hit in Chen Youlan's heart, she lost control of her body for a short time. By the time she came back to her senses, things had become so difficult to deal with.

Li Xin stood quietly, maintaining the posture of covering the left side of his face with his hands, and blinked innocently—even counting his previous life, this was probably the first time he was kissed on the cheek by a girl of the same age. It felt so shy .

Chen Youlan forced herself not to lower her head. Although her face was already as red as a drunk who had drunk two catties of liquor, she still tried her best to maintain her superficial composure, and said expressionlessly: "Don't forget your words, remember to present the abacus to Your Majesty Oh." After speaking, she took Xiaoling and walked out.

In any case, since things are already like this, it is better to use promotional abacus as an excuse than to admit that I kissed Li Xin because I couldn't help it at the moment, right?

When walking out of the study door, Chen Youlan thought with a face full of annoyance.

Li Xin watched Chen Youlan walk out of the study and finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly said to Run Niang who was stupidly standing aside: "Go, go, go and send me off."

Run Niang took a look at Li Xin, and ran after him.

Only Li Xin was left in the study. He caressed the side of his bearded face with regret, and finally couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, sighing secretly that he was almost in his forties in the sum of his two lives. It's a gaffe to be so calm, and you have to continue to work hard to become that kind of calm adult.

But as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.

Damn, the good-looking girl is really a bit of a kiss!

The next day, Li Xin came down to the hall to meet Li Shimin led by his servant.

His Majesty Li Er, who is diligent in government and loving the people, raised his head from the memorial, gave Li Xin a strange look, and asked, "It seems that today is not the day you usually come to the palace to see me? Tell me, what do you want to do this time?" Well?"

Li Xin knelt down beside Li Shimin, smiled obsequiously, and said, "I have something good to ask Your Majesty."

"What good thing?" Li Shimin asked vigilantly. He always felt that this kid Li Xin had become more and more slippery recently, and he could no longer treat him casually like before.

Li Xin smiled and took out a special abacus from behind, and placed it in front of Li Shimin.

"What is this?" Li Shimin asked.

"A tool for calculation, I call it the abacus." Li Xin replied.

Li Shimin is the emperor after all, he fiddled with it a few times, and asked: "How much faster is this thing than counting chips?" Obviously, if a new tool can't beat the old one, then it hasn't been invented and popularized. necessary. The reason why Li Xin was so happy to come to him with the abacus is because the abacus has its own unique features.

Li Xin said with a smile: "At least seven or eight times faster, maybe ten times faster if you are proficient."

Li Shimin was startled by this number, and said sternly: "Don't talk about it!" As the actual controller of a huge empire, he certainly knows how much the birth of such a fast calculation tool can improve the work efficiency of government departments , and even greatly improved people's livelihood.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Your Majesty still doesn't know me? I won't talk nonsense."

Li Shimin said: "One yard is worth one yard. Since you showed it to me, you must want to promote it, right? Then I must treat it carefully, lest the effect is not as good as you said, and I will suffer accordingly." People ridicule." Of course, he also tended to believe Li Xin, but he still had to test it to avoid any mistakes, which was also a kind of protection for Li Xin.

Li Xin also knew what His Majesty Li Er was thinking, and said: "I know. Then, please send the two household chiefs to the palace to learn how to use the abacus, and then His Majesty will ask them whether the abacus is good or not." It’s easy to use, isn’t it good?”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes."

He casually put the abacus aside, stared at Li Xin for a while, and asked with a smile: "Now we can get down to business, right? What do you want? It's not your King Chu who came into the palace to offer treasures for no reason. style."

Li Xin scratched his head and smiled, and said: "Your Majesty really knows the details. My son is so impressed."

Li Shiming snorted coldly, and said: "Okay, stop flattering. For the sake of this calculation, I will first hear what you want."

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "No, no, it has nothing to do with the abacus. This abacus was asked by a girl to present to His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with what I want to say. Your Majesty just ignore it."

Li Shimin frowned suspiciously, apparently not believing Li Xin's words: "A girl?"

Li Xin couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "Speaking of which, I only know this girl because of His Majesty's relationship."

Li Shimin suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Baiqisi's spies reported that you brought Chen Zhongshu's daughter back to the palace. I still don't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly changed a serious face, and said: "You are too bold and reckless, dare to do such a violation of etiquette! Believe it or not, I will tell Chen Zhongshu about this right away, and ask him to decide how to deal with it You two!"

Damn it, my father-in-law knew before I got married that I took my future wife back to the house to take a bath and change clothes, I'm afraid it would be easy to break my leg!

Li Xin hurriedly begged for mercy, and said: "Your Majesty, don't, don't, don't do this. We really didn't do anything, but she accidentally stained her clothes and couldn't wear them anymore, so she went back to my house and changed. I just stayed for a little more than an hour. Don't tell Mr. Chen about such a trivial matter? He is already very tired from so many official duties every day, and I don't want to burden him."

Li Shimin was also joking, seeing Li Xin begging for mercy in such a shameless manner, he couldn't help laughing at that time.
